Character Discussion Which Villain Was More Intimidating?

[TheAncientCenturion]

Both villains were massive in their respective series and share a handful of similarities.

• Taking on a gauntlet of enemies
• Posing an existential threat to their worlds
• Both killed the main character(s).

Kaido, to start off with? Was nearly invincible the entire run of the manga. From the second we see him to his last moments he has an air of warmed importance and power. Outright knocking out Luffy, beating the supernova, fighting Linlin for 12 hours all before the big war part of Wano started.

This guy is brutal and definitely gets points for being a dragon. There’s not a lot scarier than his flaming bagua lol.

Madara, on the other hand, was “in” the series for hundreds of chapters before officially appearing. He’s got a lot of cred from Tobito, as everything Obito only elevated Madara knowing Obito was a cheap knock off. Then when we finally see him? Appearing to take on an army of Shinobi, dropping meteors on them, resisting Edo Tensei’s cancellation & destroying the Gokage…

Then that doesn’t even factor in when he’s fully revived. He takes on Naruto, Tobirama, Sasuke, Gaara and all the Bijuu. This man was absolutely insane.

Madara was a final...ish villain whereas Kaido was a stepping stone to the end game.
They can't be compared tbf

 

[Roo]

Madara because Kishi actually let the tension settle in. Madara had a huge run where characters could barely do anything to him. Oda loves to have villains look foolish vs Luffy

 

[Uncle Van]

Madara and it isn't close.

Kaido 1st appearance: absolute demon
2nd appearance: image takes a shot when he's shown as a crying drunk
3rd appearance: shown as a goofy happy drunk
4th appearance: freaking out about BM
5th appearance: almost gets 2 shot killed by Oden and needs help

Funnily enough is how Kaido is the better character and his goofy traits "humanizes" him. Madara has mostly been nothing but a revered powerhouse.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Playing with Naruto’s equivalent of the four emperors and saying “would you like my wood clones to use susanoo” destroys Kaidos whole career.

Madaras aura just built different

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Madara of course.

That’s interesting, you have Kaido > Madara as a character?

 

[Uncle Van]

I do. Mainly because Madara got worse and worse. At the end, he was a dumbass filled with contrivances.

 

[BoaHancocksHusband]

Rob Lucci Doflamingo and Crocodile over all

 

[Sasaki Kojirō]

Both share several common aspects, but I lean towards Kaido.

- Defeated by Hashirama and nearly killed.
- After his defeat, he humiliated himself to the extent of implanting Hashirama's cells into his chest. It would be like Kaido, after defeating Oden, wanting to learn sword fighting. The funny part is that Kaido carries Oden's scar, and Madara has Hashirama's face on his chest.
- Faced insane challenges and important characters, similar to Kaido facing the new generation, which according to Oden, are the only ones capable of defeating him and those who lead the new generation. So, the 5 Kages = 9RH, Tailed Beasts + the rest = 5 Supernovas, Madara + Obito = Kaido + Big Mom, Sasuke + Naruto after death = Joyboy/Nika.
- Both killed protagonists, etc.

But the way Madara lost didn't please me. Kaido fell as the last remaining threat, while Madara was pathetically killed to make way for a bigger villain, and for that reason, Kaido is better.

"Are you a One Piece simp?"

What thread are you going to make next? "Did Kuma or Guts have a sadder backstory?"

My next thread is either on Chakra vs Haki/Devil Fruits or Rayleigh Vs Jiraiya as far as mentors go.

Kaido of the unresolved suicidal tendencies and 4 panel flashback > Madara as a character?

LMAO

Devil fruits > Chakra >> Haki personal opinion
Rayleigh though is well clear of jiraiya.

 

[HA001]

Intimidating ?
Kaido got slandard through the mud from oden flashback to scabbards fight

 

[Thaidakar]

Madara made the strongest of multiple generations of Ninja leave trails of piss when they heard his name only.
Kaido's corpse wasn't even cold and the vacuum he left was filled already.

 

[Malio]

Madara was feared by name and his legend only. Whereas upstart pirates of a few years were willing to go to war (and succeeded) with Kaido.

Madara was feared more

 

[Apollo]

I feel like this comparison would've been better between Madara and Imu, considering both are ancient in their respective worlds and likely final-ish villains.

 

[gz89]

Idk jackshit about Naruto.

Kaido's introduction was really intimidating, 1HKO G4 was also a really nice moment to establish that Luffy was still an ant but thats it.

I cant remember any other moment that he felt intimidating.

 

[GUI VI]

Even Zabuza is more intimidating than Crydo, let alone Madara.

P.S: answering your question, Madara and isn't close.
