Future Events ZKK: Final bet thread

Will it happen?

  • ZKK will happen

  • ZKK will NOT happen


Results are only viewable after voting.
if it happens it happens if it doesn't it doesn't.

thats the case atm.. most of the theories are just bias justifications and some aren't even narratively emphasized

- Zoro's "vindication"

- OnePiece mags

- Color pages with dragons on em

- Black blades

- Monster Samurai

- Tangential lores

- disjointed parallels
basically people justifying ZKK through these even tho there is barely any relational development story wise between Zoro and Kaido..

so buncha reverse-engineering through those and minimal from canon story itself.

for all we know oda never even hinted towards Zkk before it happens

and its odd coz oda labeled Zoro's fruit as Kaiod's fruit that shouldn't bolster the theory but should highlight their glaring similarities
-Zoro's ideals regarding being the strongest

-Death and the way of samurai

- Move and skills based on dragons

- and blue eastern dragon being the quintessential symbol of strength and courage (a certain marimo is reminded I'm sure)

- the story of how the coy fish swam through the waterfall becoming the dragon is a proper analogy of the meaning what zoro and Mihawk mean by a big frog in a small pond...explains zoro's journey as a whole someone who is meant to be like the dragon, the epitome of strength and courage.

"coy is also associated with samurai".. noting animus here just similarities ... soooo zkk? idk

If oda wanted zoro to kill Kaido he would have given a very obvious hint with obviously further detailed explanations than just "omg people intoxicated with smiles and yasui died i should be the one to kill Kaido VAMOSS", more justified is what i saying narratively,and after introducing the geography of wano Oda could have had Shimotsuki live in the west hence their guardian deity being the tiger

Wano's whole geography is vased upon the 5 elemental guardians..
-Eastern(Onigashima) Seiryu : spring
-Western (Kibi) Tiger
-Southern (Kuri) Suzaku the Virmillion bird : summer
-Northern (Ringo) Genbu the black warrior :Winter



Ringo could have represented the tiger (west) but it doesn't instead Kibi does.

This whole Tiger being the arch nemesis of Dragon is not what these 4 (or 5 if you include the yellow dragon in the center making the flower capital ) guardian deities represent to my knowledge matter the fact .. this rivalry in general is used to represent
yin and yang (link for more info)

and if you claim that zoro and Kaido have a yin and Yang (Naruto and Sauske esc) relationship... then damn the story has been lacking in ghat department


All in all it might happen but the evidence that gets suggested is meh misconstrued, misrepresented, and fan bias plot(?) or narrative,...but zoro can still execute Kaido...


but I'll stick with my initial opinion of it not happening the way people want to

ZEK : zoro executes kaido is plausible
coz it doesn't need any sorta development with Kaido

but ZKK : zoro killing Kaido in a fight for whatever reason

isn't happening
 
Honestly, I try to wear the opposing hat but I can't find any reason to justify the following

  • Why Oda makes Kaido only dodge Flying Dragon Blaze, the identical move with Ryuma
  • Why Zoro Asura is so underwhelming and Kaido never acknowledge Zoro. If it's the end of Zoro vs Kaido, why not just let Kaido acknowledge him as a strong samurai. It will be perfect ending for Zoro vs Kaido.
  • "There will never be a strong samurai as Oden again". If the fight has already ended, the Kaido's statement will become true. There is no way Oda would let Kaido to be correct about this.
  • Toki's prophecy. The dawn and 9 shadow stuff haven't happened yet and it fits Zoro's Asura perfectly.
  • Grim Reaper. Why bother drawing this if it contributes to nothing.
  • Black blade. It is likely that Zoro will turn black blade this arc. What is the best situation for him to turn black blade?
  • Nidai. Why introduce Nidai at the first place. Just to introduce Tenguyama ancestor? It is likely that Tenguyama will ask Zoro to use Nidai and Zoro needs to impress him somehow
  • Why Zoro was compared to Ryuma by Kawamatsu and Hyugoro. If Zoro's role is already ended, there is no way Wano samurai will acknowledge Zoro and why hype Zoro as the potential next Ryuma at the first place?
ZKK scenario will perfectly resolve all plot discrepancies above. These make me so confident in ZKK.

The are many Anti-ZKK but I fail to find any rational argument to justify the plots above. All of their arguments are "Zoro can't outshine Luffy, the MC", which is the absolute dump.

Edited: I move this to my owned thread
Kaido dodged Red Hawk
Zoro is not strong samurai, he is pirate and he was not on the Oden level so there is no need for Kaido to acknowledge him
Kaido will never meet samurai strong as Oden
Nine shadows stuf doesn`t have anything to do with Zoro
Grim Reaper symbolize Zoro`s struggle with death, he was fighting for his life
We don`t have any idea about forging of black blades
Zoro has done already enough to get respect of Wano citizen and he will have his character developing plots in post raid Wano.
Because of same thing they hype Ryuma for rerepelling WG.
 
Kaidou having a dragon zoan ability + him being an Oni, solidified ZKK happening for me. Not to mention the Oden + Ryuma parallels Zoro has had

As someone who doesn't believe ZKK will happen, how do you feel about these phrases from the Vivre Cards and the magazine?

When I joined this forum, I didn't believe in ZKK. But these were some of the first things (among many others) that persuaded me, because they seem so explicit to me.

Especially since the VC and magazines have hinted at future events in the past, a recent example being Kaido's drunk forms
Explain the drunk forms 🤔
 
I noticed that exactly 20 years before next chapter release (1050), Chapter 231 was released which ended with Luffy saying:
"I will be back by sunrise"

I think it would be mind-blowing if the dawn appears next chapter
But what's more interesting is that before Luffy left, Cricket tried to stop him, but Zoro offered him his Sword & said:
"If you want to stop him, you will have to use this"

Keep it coming

More and more
 
If Kaido is killed by Zoro's hand, ZKK is fulfilled.

:willsmith:
ZEK is more nuanced it doesn't deny that zoro will kill Kaido but it is completely different from ZKK.. which basically alot of convenient ass pulls ending with the butchering of a character

ZEK makes Kaido seem less pitiful

There is no singular scenario made up by the ZKK proponents. Most don't even have a specific scenario which leads to the ZKK moment. Also, how is it not pitiful to just being executed while standing on his knees?

Dude there is no fixed ZKK Scenario Theory
Some think it Zoro vs Kaidou which ends with Zoro victorious
Some think it's just Zoro jumping & beheading Kaidou on top of capital just like Ryuma
Some think it's SHs vs Kaidou which ends up with Zoro's Finisher
Some think it's Ice Oni Zoro beheading Kaidou
Some think it's Zoro executing Kaidou
Some think he uses 1 Sword Style & other say he uses Asura
... etc

All that matters is that ZKK = Kaidou dying at hands of Zoro
Everything else are just details we cannot predict & each one gives their own Scenario
 
Similarly to Luffy, Zoro seems to have faced death, as indicated by him meeting the Reaper. He will come back to life stronger and lead to the dawn, become the new monster Samurai that will give Kaido his desired death and become the new leader of Wano.

:finally:
Chopper said you can face halluencations with the medicine, correct?

Zoro is not killing kaido just give up kaido already got his flashback it ended there
