Character Discussion Who was a better villain Gecko Moria or Kaido?

Kaido was a bigger direct threat, Moria was never that threatening by himself. Only the cutting shadow was a real problem (day light time limit)
But fighting wise : Oz (Moria power) vs the SH was a great fight and better than anything Wano had to offer
Nightmare Luffy was a really fun idea too.
Also character wise Moria is 10 times more relatable than Kaido

I did a post on Gekko Moria a while back during a competition. I can't quote it since the thread is locked but I can link it.
As far as I can see, Moria is a far more thematic, interesting, better written, unique and tragic character compared to Kaido, who is a bland, boring, uninspiring, uninteresting, might makes right trope that swiftly loses his intimidation factor whenever he starts screaming from any injury or from his Oden PTSD (Post Traumatic Samurai Delusions).

It is a joke but clearly Moria, even if a villain of a small arc with not so many chapters, was far better characterized than Kaido who is not only the villain of Wano (an infinite lengthy and also important arc) but the villain of the whole saga which started with Punk hazard.
Power wise it is debatable, Kaido powers with the dragon zoan, leading the 100 beast pirate crew, and his different powers (hyper beams, storms, fire dragon) are cool and at first he even manage to sound as a threat yet Moria powers are far better as originality. Either way overall Moria was the better villain due to his backstory mainly.

Tbh I absolutely love Thriller Bark, and even though it's been a long time since I didn't reread it, I have really good memories about Moria as a villain.
While Kaido was indeed cool but, his fighting choregraphy is not very inventive and his backstory has been really disappointing.
I'm gonna go with Geckoo
