    Due to a complete coincidence, I realize that Kaido is what happens to Kyros if King Riku had never reached out his hand. Kyros was a violent and aggressive youth who would have gone on to a kill or be killed lifestyle. Riku saw the raw potential in the young man and offered guidance, a way to fix his reputation, a place to live while he did it, and a profession he could be proud of. Kaido? Kaido was shoved away, offered to the military who also treated him poorly. Two men of similar circumstance with drastically different outcomes because one was fortunate enough to get a mentor who cared enough to push them on a better path.

    • @Moe_Posting_Chad
      @Moe_Posting_Chad Před 26 dny +5

      Let's not forget... Kiado is not a victim of pure circumstance, at some point along the way he chose to be an active participant, and he was probably thrilled by the violence he inflicted. He may have regrets about how he killed Oden. But that isn't enough to redeem him. He chose to kill every time. *He chose to kill.*

      I honestly think Katakuri's fight was made to be sorta a kaido light for the reader to help get what ultimately beats kaido.
      I don't think luffy wins from the punch, I think luffy's unwavering resolve and simple answer to kaido questioning how could he possibly change the world broke him. He is fighting someone who has been through hell and back and is strong enough to stand on equal ground to him and when asked what can that person do all luffy says is he will make a world where his friends can eat.
      It's a simple answer but it's such a strong one. It isn't grandiose, it isn't ambitious, but it means the world for who luffy helps.
      I think Kaido realizes luffy is joyboy at that moment.

      Luffy saying he wants to create a world where everyone can eat until they are full might have made Kaido lose / give up at the final clash if you consider he let himself get captured multiple times to eat. I think deep down he wants someone to change the world for better.

  • @sayerglasgow115
    @sayerglasgow115 Před měsícem +90

    One of the things I really like about how Oda handles villains with tragic pasts is that for every monster who comes out of monstrous circumstances, there's usually another character who came from similar or even the same origins, but who made different choices. Doflamingo and Corazon might be the most direct example, but there's also Arlong/Hordy Vs. Jinbei and Fisher Tiger. I think Whitebeard and Big Mom are another good example. Both were incredibly strong from birth, and both wanted a family and so sought one out on the seas. But, Whitebeard cares deeply about every single one of his sons as in individual, whereas Big Mom only cares about how they fit into her idea of a perfect family. This is really shown in how Whitebeard's family are all people not related to him who he took in because they needed him, and he took them as they are. Meanwhile Big Mom is always seeking out men with which to breed a specific child, and then getting mad when her children don't turn out the way she imagined they would, which is deeply gross.
    In Kaido's case his mirror is probably Yamato as much as Luffy. Kaido deliberately recreated the kind of environment where he grew up for Yamato, making him fight to survive and only acknowledging him when he showed strength. But, rather than do as Kaido had done and see the power to subjugate others as the only thing in the world that mattered, Yamato looked to Oden and the samurai as examples of how strength could be used for more than that, and came to oppose everything Kaido stood for.

  • @philitinthecup

    One point I would find to be quite interesting is that perhaps Kaido did have someone or a few someone reach out to him.. It just so happen that they were the entirely wrong type of people to help a war-scarred teen weapon like him. The Rocks Pirate, Rocks D. Xebec, and of course, Charlotte Linlin. They found him, and they thought of him as just another powerful weapon to add into a crew of already powerful and conflicting people. Instead of a crew that respected him for being himself, he found a crew of people glued together only by the fact that they were monsters amongst other monsters. I wonder, maybe, if somehow things were just a bit better. If the Rocks Pirate weren't united only by Rocks and their own strength, if they had just a bit more, Kaido would've become someone better.

      Both of them were born with too much power and it made them lonely. Both of them found companions but many of their companions exploited or feared their strength. Not all, some of big mom's children seem to genuinely care for her and kaido has at least Jack and King (dunno about queen) who seem to genuinely care about him.

      I just checked. Kaido only gets that super early, now extremely inaccurate dark-shadow close up when Garp talks about them in Chapter 432. He and Big Mom are not name-dropped yet. I do believe the first time his name is used is in Thriller Bark far ahead of when it starts getting directly relevant.
      It's likely that Melon knows this and just used imprecise phrasing because the meeting between Law and Luffy is when talk of Kaido is truly significant for the first time.

    I think the Wano Kuni arc itself is Oda’s criticism of Japan during and after the Meiji Restoration. For those who don’t know, the Meiji Restoration was this movement that established a Japanese Empire in response to foreign influences of trade and control. To reassert itself against Western powers, Japan underwent massive change: industrialization, war, and political upheaval until it rose from the ashes as this country looking to other countries at the time for plunder during the late 19th and early 20th centuries . The massive industrialization scarred the Japanese environmentally and socially: it was a shock doctrine to the previous feudal society. The Meiji Restoration also modernized the Japanese military, thus becoming capable of defeating Tsarist Russian forces in 1905. If you are still reading this, what I am saying is that the Wano arc mirrors a more satirized depiction of the Meiji Restoration and the inherently fascist ideology that Kaidou and thus the Meiji Emperor shared. Thus, it makes sense why Kaidou is this foreign entity from the Vodka Kingdom (Europe-ish), considering that the Meiji modeled its infrastructure and key institutions in the German/Russian/British manner of doing things. Also, although Kaidou is from the Vodka kingdom, he has a name that is written in Kanji rather than in in katakana (usually used for loan words), implying that it’s a monster fostering within the Japanese confines of societal formation.
    TL;DR
    Kaidou represents Japanese imperial fascism through the Meiji Restoration that took place from the early 19th century to 1945.

  • @generaledelogu1892
    @generaledelogu1892 Před měsícem +8

    21:20 I don't think Kaido ever mentions remorse for killing Hyogoro's wife; those two panels are him apologizing for what the old lady did, pretending to be Momonosuke and causing Oden to lose focus, ultimately getting beaten by Kaido and unfairly ending their battle. He had her killed because of her interference with their great fight, even though she caused Kaido to beat Oden. His remorse is in that she ruined their perfect fight, and he's sorry it ended the way it did, thus making cause for having her killed.

    I was shocked when I saw people saying Kaido's flashback was bad. It did all it needed, it showed the bedrock of his philosophy of the cult of death he carries in his heart. I have grown to see Kaido very highly as an antagonist in my eyes because of the simple tragedy he is as a monster without a purpose. His backstory also doesn't try to make his actions rational which a lot of bad guy flashbacks do in many cases which is a plus in my book. So I agree with you absolutely that the core message from Kaido we should take is how the world creates these monsters and it is not the monster makers who suffer but the innocent lives that get in the way of the monsters tantrum when they either get shit faced drunk or fail to kaidocide yet again.

Because before I also said "wow he could've given him a second chance since he was so heartbroke at the foul play", BUT THAT'S IT!

Both recognise Luffy's strength after he's powered up despite initially dismising him and basically punting him into the ground, then they realise "This guy won't stay down" when Luffy hits back. Both are irritated when their fights are interrupted and both of them even have something of a silly side, Katakuri with his snacktime, Kaido with his drunken tears.

    Admits dismay at sons, grandsons who are pirates , lost thier hope and left the Marines but still is proud of them

    Enel being as one dimensional as he is hits harder when you consider that European people ate all the mummies and Isn'treally people have dehumanizing TikTok trends. Colonizing makes you a one note person, which is why Luffy rejects it every time it's presented as an option.

      What does the first part of your comment mean?

      Enel isn’t really one dimensional. But I would say that he is at the beginning of his arc.

      I think that inhaling smoke is good for me because I cough up the excess metal stuck in my throat from eating spoons

    This video is amazing, and kaido is a character who really needed it. Wano had so much stuff thrown at us that it can be hard to peice together the consistent beats of Kaido's character without an extended backstory to give context. Thanks for putting in the legwork and sharing it for this sad horrid man-dragon

    Kaido always reminded me of some of the vets I grew up around that had went through active combat. Struggling to find meaning in anything after living through hell on earth. thanks for the great character breakdown!
    BTW, don't stop showing yourself in the videos please, it's much more engaging watching you!
