There are numerous fights in Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece that have made a lasting impression on viewers. From Oden vs. Kaido to the Straw Hat Pirates going all out against CP9, each one would have the fans on the edge of their seats, gnawing their fingernails with excitement. However, none could match the thematic and emotional importance featured in the Wano Country Arc.
The arc was a masterpiece in itself, where the fight between Kaido and Monkey D. Luffy in Onigashima, where the captain of the Straw Hat Pirate kept his promise to Kin’emon and liberated the closed country. As enthralling as the battle was, the mangaka decided to add one fatal flaw to the captain of the Beast Pirates that made him lose to Luffy.
Eiichiro Oda’s decision to add a critical flaw to Kaido made him lose the Battle at Onigashima
The battle between Luffy and Kaido was the most pivotal arc inEiichiro Oda’smagnum opus, propelling the series to its conclusion. The Wano arc led to many iconic moments, but the limelight will be on how Luffy awakened his Devil Fruit, unlocking the much-awaited Gear 5. As a result, his battle with the Yonko was made more memorable where he defeated a foe, who was the strongest opponent that has ever faced.
Though the plot developed flawlessly, thanks to Oda-Sensei’s masterful storytelling, fans got a first-hand experience of why people said,“On land, air, and sea,”and how he is the“strongest creature among all living things.”However, when fans discovered that the author’s decision to add one flaw to the antagonist caused him to lose to Gear 5 Luffy, they were devastated.

A popular anime enthusiast (@fexr292) uploaded a Short on his YouTube channel, where at first he claimed how the Straw Hat would not be anywhere“near close to saving Ace if 3 Kaidos are there instead of the Admirals.”He sang praises of the Yonko’s notoriety and how he has grown his reputation over the years.
They emphasized that they were not bluffing and provided a“stat perspective,”claiming that his Devil Fruit, Haki, and physical traits were off the charts to the point of calling him“broken.”However, the only thing that held him back was his“mentality,”where he would not intentionally“dodge attacks.”

The antagonist is so strong, when we talk about overall abilities, that he would be on an SS+ tier, and even Eiichiro Odaclaimed that Luffy couldn’t beat a strong character like him. The creator now claims that with Luffy’s victory over the Strongest Creature, there are several names from the series that can defeat him.
However, when we talk about“overall stats and potential perspective, the dude’s number 1 and it’s not even close.”This massive flaw summoned the fandom, where they left some cheeky words in the comment section of the post.
One Piecefans have a few words for Kaido’s mentality
It is indeed a shame that such a broken character had such minor flaws that led to his eventual doom. An instance was seen wherehe would have taken Zoro’s sword slashfrom Enma had Big Mom not warned him to dodge it.
Hence, fans were not too pleased with Kaido’s so-called masculine mentality of eating attacks. Thus, they decided to leave some comments under the YouTube short that were hilarious to read. The fans commented,
@Glitch_codm12 commented,“Stats Durability:broken Health:broken Abilities:broken Mentality:pure depression”
@giogaribay8227 commented,“The only thing stronger than Kaido in the wano arc was Luffys plot armor”
@bonzoluv commented,“Can’t point out 1 bad Kaido stat? IQ”
@Maybe_MangoMan commented,“The only think can kill Kaido is himself LITARLLY”
@zkdlynn3436 commented,“I have said Thai so many times tbh. Kaido is legit broken. The biggest is advantage for broken big dudes in one piece is they lack speed and cannot dodge. Kaido even has top level speed and just doesn’t dodge for the fun of it. Valid points, Kaido is number 1 strongest in show”
@Agentr9182 commented,“not even mentioning he speed blitzed luffy multiple times, this behemoth at least top 3 in speed in the whole verse if not THE fastest one piece character”
Nevertheless, Oda-Sensei truly created a behemoth of a character who became such an important character that he lived up to his reputation, and he would go down as one of the best villains in anime history.
