Character Discussion Why Does Kaido Call Yamato "Son"?

[Finalbeta]

because kaido wants to have woro like son
He will go down to recruit woro like his new son
@MonsterKaido

He basically made him a proposal to join, I bet he most likely would consider him his first man if he did and that's obvious

 

[Pantheos]

Yamato was crying when she realised that Kaido was really going to kill her with the exploding cuffs:

You have it the other way around, it's Yamato that wanted to be loved by Kaido.

I think you're going too far in trying to humanise Kaido; he's never been depicted as a caring or loving father.

Like i said, abusive and pretty aggressive, for sure. But how often did something like that killed someone? Except Pedro?
Yamato is still Kaidos daughter, i doubt he would consider her dying by a mere explosion.

Yamato herself said that it would kill her. People don't die on panel in One Piece, that doesn't mean that they can't die. By Yamato's own admission, the cuffs were going to kill her.

Nah
OBVIOUSLY kaido would probably just step down and let woro be the beast Pirates captain 😍

That would be smart of him in the long run.

He wants to make Yamato a Shogun. In Wano, that position is probably only restricted to males, so the transition should be easier if people believes, that Yamato is a man.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Just like how Kuina wanted to be a man, Yamato look up to Oden and start addressing herself as a man. Kaido and his crew respected that and prefer to use that pronounce. About Kaido wanting Yamato to be a Shogun, that's sounds possible too.

Kaido really hated Orochi if not hahahah. He would of preferred Yamato to be in his place probably.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

Yamato is usually a man's name, is it not? so I'm assuming Kaido just decided to raise yamato as a boy

 

[Ravagerblade]

I think it's both ways. Like how Alex, Max etc can be.

 

[Shisui]

Kaido ain't progressive. I am pretty sure he wanted a son and couldn't handle having a girl for a child. He most likely instructed his subordinates to treat Yamato as a male. My guy obviously took parental lessons from Koushirou

 

[Herrera95]

Just another flaw of Oda. No big deal

It worked out in this case because Yamato wanted to be Oden.

Good read. Lemme add one more point.

Yamato seems to be inspired by Oscar François de Jarjayes, from the shōjo manga The Rose of Versailles, who is a woman raised by her father as if she were a boy in order to succeed him as the commander of the Royal Guard at the Palace of Versailles. This is just like you said that since Kaido wants to make her shogun, he's calling Yamato as his son.

• Additionally, in the chp 945 author's comment, oda talks about reading The Rose of Versailles for the first time and being surprised to find out Oscar was a woman.

anything but pc kaido

Kaido planned to make Yamato the Shogun since the beginning, can't have a daughter be one.

Yes I think this is it.

Actually, Wano doesn't have any voice or anything whether the Shogun-appointed-by-Kaido is a male or a female. They are really opressed. So if Kaido picks a woman to be the new Shogun, it's not like Wano can do anything about it.

Why else you think he got Yamato wearing that mask when calling her as a son. This is a feudal japan based arc of course he wont have a female as a figure leader.

Given how this is the same manga in which a father talked about a son inheriting his dojo and told his daughter a woman can’t become the strongest swordsman, I suspect Kaido might be thinking similarly in wanting a patriarchy to succeed him as shogun.
