Considering the fact that Nami still has Zeus and Mother Caramel's Sun died when she did I think it's safe to say Big Mom is not dead

wasn't it 50/50 about the fact that Prometheus wasn't the same sun ?

[@a.N.....]

So then why the sun die?

[@MrEnKaye]

@@JeromeFZ I believe Carmel's sun was named Pandora, not Prometheus

[@TeddyBerry]

My pet theory has been that Big Mom survived, with Kaido being on the verge of dying. First I was thinking that she might infuse his soul into the lava and attack Elbaf with her strongest homie ever. After the Pluton reveal my theory changed to her infusing this ancient weapon with his soul and attacking Elbaf with it, calling it Ragnarök. All in accordance with the giants viking theme, and finally giving us that Big Mom vs Luffy fight we never got. This video really made me reconsider that though, very convincing!

[@Elchinodawn]

i think instead she would take the favor she says Kaido owns her (of a semi dead Kaido), and that would be to take his life-expectacy to be back at her prime, then she would seek revenge against luffy and the giants, and in elbaf, she is defeated definitively and katakuri becames the new captain of the tottoland pirates, i think that would be (along with another villain, not as strong as a yonkou, such as a figarland garling or prince lokki) or maybe even characters like Akainu or greenbull too, make elbaf more of a multi scoped arc as Luffy and strawhats are now too strong to just have a single yonkou/crew as the enemy (wano already fullfiled that check), in a battle where luffy is the target or just in general the 4th poneglyph

[@retrogamermax8287]

I also think it's possible if Kaido returns he'll fight alongside Joyboy in the final war against the World Government since him and King have been waiting for Luffy their entire lives and Kaido figured out Luffy was Joyboy the moment Luffy defeated him and when he was falling into the Earth's magma core because he was thinking of that moment he told King Joyboy would be the man to defeat him someday.

Yo Daks you cooked with this one. Bb pirates vs Kaido would be insane. Kaido being a sapphire like dragon because of his awakening and his fruit allowing him to swim. Also if its sapphire it might buff your power is a brilliant idea, Luffy and him being a sun god in different ways is fantastic. I would like to add if this happens and Bb take out Kaido I would like to see Yamato have a moment with Kaido, it would be very emotional. Im very inetrested in the idea of Yamato getting scabbards similar to Oden. Having some of Kaidos crew being a scabbard to Yamato would be a nice touch aswell.

[@DaksSake]

Yooo imagine Yamato seeing Kaido actually die! That would be insane!! Sort of a bitter sweet moment. But I love the idea Yamato makes kaido’s members into scabbards. Maybe the cover story shows Yamato finding all of them and recruiting them almost

[@bmoney3837]

I think Blackbeard will kill a weakened kaido e we hen he comes to wano

[@chancemcmahan8621]

I was with the commentator in the first half, lost me in the second half. I don’t think Kaidos fruit is nearly as important as this theory suggests. I think it’s just an absurdly powerful fruit plain & simple. I don’t think Kaido was waiting for Joyboy to awaken his fish fish fruit either. Why would he want to become stronger when he is already miserable being the “world’s strongest creature”? I think the man just wanted to either feel defeat or overthrow the government himself & knew Joyboy was his best option for both so he waited in Wano for a couple decades. Kaido reallyyyy despised the world government so meeting Joyboy is a double win for him. Defeated by a literal god figure & knowing the world government was gonna be toppled afterwards. That seems more like Kaido to me. I’m with you on the Kaido just chilling in water waiting to be released when pluton is excavated theory though

[@Ryzen776]

@@chancemcmahan8621 Yeah, it's way more straightforward to think that YAMATO cover story will include a conclusion with her father (duh) than some convoluted awakening theories. -BB attack Wano -Yamato fight BB -BB destroy Wano's wall -Pluton and Kaido are freed -Kaido defend his daughter -BB flee Wano with Pluton -Father and daughter reconciliation -Kaido become Wano guardian -Yamato sail off Wano That just wrap up everything nicely, imo.

[@SunnyOddny]

How did kaido get his dream? isnt the point of kaido his hypocrisy?

[@Popstalgia]

Love your theories! Honestly still new to OP buy love checking out your channel for future predictions.

[@n1hondude]

"I don't think Oda would do that without saying".. Have you forgotten that Oda literally said he FORGOT to reveal Kaido's and Kid's DF's names in the manga? That's why we never got a text box for them. There are two things that people need to keep in mind and keep separate, what goes on IN THE STORY vs THE REAL WORLD Following EVERYTHING we've learned from the story, Kaido is 100% already awakened: 1) Kaido is a ZOAN first and foremost. Being a mythical just means he has "paramecia abilities" such as shooting fire. He fits the literal definition of a zoan awakening given by Crocodile in Impel Down ages ago: stronger, tougher, recovers fast, etc. 2) "Show, don't tell". In Egghead we learned by VISUAL CUES that an awakened zoan has the hagoromo (the haki cloud) thanks to Lucci's text box. However in the same chapter we saw Kaku's awakening WITHOUT the text box. Show, don't tell. The power of HINDSIGHT. In Onigashima we saw Hybrid Yamato with the same hagoromo when fighting against Kaido. It's clear that in the real world Oda hadn't fully decided that "hagoromo = zoan awakening" yet but the clues have been there since GREAR 4's reveal in Dressrosa, and we now know the gomu gomu is actually a zoan. 3) The Design. Kaido's design physically changed. Someone made a great comparison side by side at the subtle design changes such as the sharper teeth by Kaido and Lucci got during awakening. You can see for yourself at Kaido's brow design even got the swirl resembling the hagoromo. You can see for yourself at @12:12 and @13:04 Every other time his teeth are flat and no brows. Such details are extremely important, they're as subtle as Sanji's brows swirling to the other side when his Germa genes activate. 4) The narrative. Think about this for a second. In what world would a COMMON CAT like Lucci be awakened and Kaido isn't? Kaido is much older, much more experienced and has been a pirate for decades. Plus he name dropped awakening to Luffy. Kaido. IS. AWAKENED. Lastly, the df being called "Fish Fish" is irrelevant, it's the MODEL that determines the creature. Does Lucci look like a persian cat to you? No, he's MODEL LEOPARD. Does Kaku look like a cow to you? No, he's MODEL GIRAFFE. Does Jbra look like a chihuahua to you? No, he's a MODEL WOLF. Kaido never was and never will be a "fish". He's MODEL SEIRYU.

[@Ben-iz9ud]

[@aleccampbell7707]

Depends on how long Law's silence was still active for

[@SBResolute]

One idea for where Kaidos devil fruit ends up could be with Koby. How? X Drake is still missing and could be alive on Wano Why? Drake knows the force of the fruit and how it would benefit sword. He’s already been shown to be close with Koby-they also both grew up as pirates that weren’t interested in the pirate life style before joining the marines. Then start adding in the connection between Luffy and Koby. Started their journey together and both had Garp as mentors. Would be fitting for them to fight Blackbeard together and for Koby to have his DF powered by the sun since he found his inner power through the metaphorical sun, Luffy

[@Pickn4Gold]

There is now a little part of me that wants to see a reveal of where Kaido and Big Mom came out of the lava, with their foot prints and Kaido leaving black spikes of rock from where he blew his nose to clear the lava when he got to shore... I will say Gloriosa and Stussy can provide everything Kaido and Big Mom could about Rocks, and we do know Stussy was headed to Egghead with Marco last we saw of them long before the transmission went out. I doubt Big Mom is dead if Zeus is still around, Elbaf would be interesting to tie in too good point. Kaido I don't know. Storywise he could provide all sorts of things, but Luffy could have given him the rest he wanted as well.

[@billgottschall1808]

I think one thing Dak's Sake forgot is that Dragons bring thunderclounds, which is why when Momo became an adult the clouds were worse stopping Sulong. I think it might be the opposite where the Azure dragon gets strength when not in sunlight

[@jackstern5737]

Seems like he would most likely awaken if he swam up a waterfall, or after another analogously impossible task. Maybe Kaido has to waken his fruit to be able to counteract the water weakening him. Maybe the requirement is to be a capable protector for Wano (a gargantuan task for Kaido imo) , like the role of the the myththilogical figure, and he therefore comes out of the water somehow awakened and, after heavy reflection of his past oppression, now be a true hero for Wano. It seems unlikely to me that mono could awaken the power in the timeframe of the series imo, so this feels plausible to me

[@Page_max]

Kaido and Big meme will become Blackbeard’s puppet shadows

[@Made-InChina-]

I've been rereading the manga as of late, and in chapter 967, there's one panel that I've been really curious about, and it's really similar to the sake cups with Sabo, but I haven't seen anyone cover it specifically, so I was wondering if you had anything to say about it. Its on the last page of the chapter, and you can see Roger holding something, maybe a piece of paper or something, after he says ge wished he was born into Joyboys era. I know this might seem a bit far fetched but could you check it out?

[@foul_ball7025]

17:55 Oh my god yes, I've wanted to see a ship with a devil fruit for so long.

[@spectator6656]

[@aryanupadhyay9164]

Well if kaido's fruit is eaten by bb's ship..then a legendary sunny vs saber of zebec would happen...like both could blast from their mouth ...both could fly ( at least partially sunny could be considered flying)

[@pumpkinduke1912]

Imma be honest there is a huge flaw with this theory. We just spent 3 real life years fighting a dragon. I don't think Oda wants to spend more time with an extra strong dragon. But besides that i'm pretty sure the trigger for awakenings is aligning yourself with the dream that created the fruit. Luffy awakened in a moment of great stress where all he wanted was to free Wano, Yamato awakened as she became the guardian angel of Wano. If the trigger was being strong and dying I don't think that would be interesting.

[@Josuegurrola]

I have to Agree. Too much time with dragons already. ... The only viable option I see is him (Kaido) being defeated and devoured by Im-sama in some (fast and easy) way to set up the power scale even higher at one point in the end saga.

[@xXdnerstxleXx]

Ah yes, after 4 years of a dragon antagonist I need another one!

[@user-jg2kd4uf3r]

Ever since G4 Luffy has unlocked flight, something that Teach depended on Doc Q vs Law. His next DF must allow for air movement. While Kaido's fruit and even Marco's as many had speculated that it would be salvaged after Payback War were nice picks, they don't compliment his colour theme( both blue) .alternative picks are Dragon Storm Bird or Quetzcoalt but the issue is the theme ( green) . A zoan with Black theme can be the case with Imu and potentially the man scarred by flames . Cant recall a mythical flyingn creature causing fisures unfortunately.

[@mrbubbles6468]

The people of Wano in the Wano arc did say that Kaido was a protector of Wano It would be funny to see him technically being one.

[@LibraryBaylon]

Top tier theory. Only thing i would add is I could see blackbeard using the “zombie kaido” as a counter to the goresei or large scale foes like Ancient robot, Zunisha, or the giants.

[@DaksSake]

Totally agree with that.

[@deitynix5549]

It would be cool if he could breathe like icy fire that freezes you on the spot like Brooks attack just stronger

[@adhilnoushadnn369]

Taking Pluton from Wano is not an easy job. Because first of all Wano is now Luffy's territory and known for Samurais. Also they're specialised in the ryou haki. So picking a fight with the warriors of Wano will bring the attention of Straw hats and Marines. So the outcome will be disastrous. Also fighting with an emperor of the sea will shake the world and bring the attention of world government to Wano. Blackbeard knows this. So he'll not come to get it directly. They can get Pluton in two ways. First way Kuzan can freeze everyone like he did in whole cake island. The second thing is with help of Shiryu's Clear clear fruit they can sneak into Wano by becoming invisible and when they find Pluton with help of Van Ouger's Warp warp fruit they can teleport Pluton to outside of Wano without any casualties and their knowledge.

[@LightTMT]

That’s some pretty good takes actually, never thought about it like that.

[@TryhardNation]

This all makes so much sense. When you tie in the fact that the government was trying to replicate fruits with Caesar or use one fruit for many with Bonnie.. 👀 that dragon army theory really does raise some eye brows. Makes you wonder why they called themselves “Celestial Dragons” to begin with.

[@mirrorreflectionchange7076]

There have been theories that Nami has the ability to control Uranus and might be able to use it against the Blackbeard pirates

[@nobody42071]

21:04 Kaido’s zombie would be pretty weak compared to when he was alive. In Thriller Bark, we did see that corpses were extremely weaker than when they were alive so i don’t see the point of doing that. Besides, doing that would be a really bad idea since it would only obey Moriah and not Blackbeard directly (if Garp’s shadow actually lets himself controled of course. We don’t know if the Shadow fruit can take any shadow since when Moriah took Luffy’s shadow, he didn’t know haki yet)

[@lawznwdsc]

Great video, Kaido vs Blackbeard would be so crazy and unexpected. I've always wondered why The Celestial Dragons call themselves that. Hey i have a theory that by the end of the story Devil Fruit users will finally be free and be able to swim again, what do you think about this theory?

We never see the conjoined twin because it's been on his back the whole time, and even now he hides it with the yami yami no mi. Maybe his conjoined twin doesn't like him so he wanted the yami yami no mi so he could suppress him. His conjoined twin is the one with the will of D. not Teach. Of course you could also say the exact same thing but with a split personality instead of a conjoined/parasitic twin, but the way Marco said it's due to his weird body makes me think it's something physical.

I know this is out of topic but hear me out.

In that comic strip they said that the germa's army was fighting Sora warrior of the sky. And since Uranus is something related to the i figured that Sora created Uranus and since germa was obsessed with technology it makes sense for them go after it. The only reason i think Sora lost was because he was not cut out to battleor was very old. Who knows.

Wano becomes way better when you realise Kaido was doing everything solely to get his fight with Joy Boy and he got it. And when you notice that both Kaido and the SH were complaining at Wano for the same reason. And when you realise Kaido and Luffy did nit really care about Wano’s own politics and just wanted to fight a strong person. When you realise that Kaido is just how a country would view Luffy is he stuck around for 20 years things make do much sense.

I feel that after a certain point, falling from HIGHER up doesn't even matter, and MOST people who could be considered strong in the OP verse probably CAN'T be killed by falling.

[@Chrisfragger1]

Man, Moria really let himself go after that fight.

[@zmp323]

Someone cooked here 🔥

[@ThanhNguyen-it5vd]

The power of kaido is his haki , I still don’t know how bb could do anything on him if they have a fight .

[@JntAlFrdos]

I think pluton is a giant fighter with large sword like that Onigashima skull

[@tkay42]

I like the theorie, that saphire scale is a STD for preventing genetic mixups of Celestial Dragon an "normal" Humans. Like "okay, have fun with the slaves, but there has to be no offspring!"

[@a.N.....]

Gross and I hate it lol

[@Ore_Jo]

I’ve theorized that Blackbeard will eat Kaido’s fruit for a white, so I’m still hopeful it might happen

[@mightynxumalo7579]

Kaido will probably get blasted in the face by Pluton might be how he loses, we know it's a island buster

[@O.Reagano]

I’ve said it time and time again, Big Mom and Kaido could be dead when just looking at their feats, but NARRATIVELY they’re dead. It makes zero sense for them to just get back up when a major theme of the whole story is out with the old generation and in with the new. Sure, both of them could probably survive an attack like this, but for the narrative of the story, it’s nonsensical and is just a situation like Igram or Pell. Just objectively bad writing if they return.

[@O.Reagano]

Nvm, Dak you’re cooking man. A through-line with BB getting Kaido’s fruit while attempting to get Pluton would be hype and fitting for the story. However, this is really the only way for Kaido to come back in a meaningful way, and he would also need to have taken heavy damage from Luffy’s fight to still fit well in the story. Just saying.

[@GautamKeishamisdead]

The story felt like something you wanted it to happen in the story not what is going to come. Be little bit more creative, like Kaido will become Luffy's ally now that he knows Luffy is Joyboy. According to Kaido, the one who can defeat him will be Joyboy and now that he has been defeated by Luffy, he can confirm it. He fights with Bleackbeard's crew who came to take Pluton. Yamato, who is on a mission to explore Wano meets Kaido and helps him fight BB's crew and BB himself. Yamato confirms to Kaido that Luffy is Joyboy..... Also tells about Zou's claim about Luffy.... Maybe BB gets his hands on Pluton maybe not but Kaido and Yamato with Momonosuke and the Scabbards join Luffy in the final war. Well... This is what I want it to happen... It's not going to but..

[@Awnahnotthosdude]

Can you talk about the relevance of big moms fruit awakening?

[@ibrahimabass9658]

I believe the dragons were the creatures to carry Uranus in the sky. Sea kings pull the Noah. Zunesha probably with pluton. Hence why they need a dragon. If all the dragons were killed it would make sense the next option be the devil fruit

[@n1hondude]

Shirahoshi coomands sea kings. Momonosuke commands Zunesha and other land creatures (Zunesha is deifnitely not the only one since he was banished, which implies a herd) A winged person commands dragons. Dragons are definitely not killed. They likely live in sky islands the same way sea kings live in the depths of the oceans and the other elephants/land creatures live in god knows where in this huge Jupiter-size planet "Earth".

[@frogman_]

I’ve always assumed kaidos super drunk purple form is his awakening. He was talking about your body catching up with your powers. His body is so crazy he has to be hammered for that to happen. Thoughts ⁉️

[@Velisatra]

Given that he breathed fire he's probably just immune to fire and lava.

[@FujiD_Surgeon]

Yo what If Blackbeard also wants the Devil fruit cus of the abillity to not drown. That would make him a monster without basically any weaknesses. Negating devil fruits, being able to swim under water with the only weakness absorbing extra pain

[@TheMenaceCracker]

He wouldn't take much pain due to the zoan buff to the body and hybrid form durability

[@antoinemims3952]

I think black beard will find the mythical zoan model cerberus

[@neogeo5114]

In my opinion, Kaido couldn't awake his devil fruit because of how the Azure Dragon is depicted in chinese mythology, it is supposed to be a benevolent creature after all and in Japan it's the protector of the city of Kioto Kaido doesn't really fit into any description so maybe it could have been that, since zoans have a will of their own, Kaido wasn't simply fit to awaken his devil fruit (Edit): As you mentioned, if Kaido were to play the role of 'Savior of Wano', maybe he could awaken his devil fruit? idk it could be possible

[@IrxN17]

i mean this situation would to suitable to introduce shiki to free big mom and kaido to make them join him as we know shiki is alive somewhere

[@Clicky_The_Blicky]

Watch kaido come back and help lift because he realizes joy boy is luffy

[@lokekennee8850]

I have a theory that the DFs are actually made with technology so advanced it seems like magic to the present time, most probably utilising that “free energy” Vegapunk was talkin about. I think there used to be “gods” from other worlds with unique abilities, and when they die this technology allows their wills and abilities to be converted into the form of a fruit, for someone to eventually inherit that will and power and if they’re good enough they awaken the fruit, basically bringing it back to its former glory, what it used to be. And I think this technology was inspired by none other than Poseidon, who was the mythical being originally inhabiting the blue planet, which was eventually invaded by foreigners who built the red line to reside upon it. The blue planet used to be mostly water and barely any land mass. Then one day, the “aliens” ran out of resources and looked to the blue plant. And the ruler/god of the blue planet at the time, was Poseidon. So these aliens created Pluton and Uranus to combat this force of nature, defeated it and built the red line to live on the planet. However not all of the invaders share the same vision, some, including Nika, were just trying to find resources and a new world to live in, hopefully coexisting with Poseidon and her people. But some of his comrades, likely Imu, the gorosei and some others decided otherwise and wanted to rule with an iron fist instead. And that’s when the conflict arose, and Nika (or Joyboy, likely a name given by the blue planet inhabitants) lost, and apologised to Poseidon for what they did to her world, hence why the need to destroy the red line which was never meant to be there to begin with. Then Poseidon accepted his apology and promised to pass down her abilities and powers as well so that someday they can fight back. And during this span of time, the aliens have developed the DFs based on what Poseidon can do, that is pass on her will and power to future generations, likely something that has been done multiple times before, and the one current having the power during the invasion was a princess named Poseidon. So the concept of creating the DFs was based on that but Imu and the gang were not a fan of it, and since they can’t destroy the fruits completely, they instead placed a curse upon those who passed on their wills so that they cannot coexist with the Poseidon freely and hopefully preventing them from reuniting, hence why DFs have that weakness, which Imu and the gorosei probably do not.

[@Rakoru]

Blackbeard already had plan for Wano? Don't remember reading that anywhere

[@ohmhasmeaning7292]

imagine kaido has slightly starved and now he's mad with hunger and faster because he's lost weight

[@christianchagaruly7523]

What if momos awakening was a healing type power that could revert all the sads victims. Since he’s pink like the petals in choppers flashback

[@waterenjoyer7850]

low-key kaidos zoan kinda looks like the gorosies forms, his fruit could have been used by a past member
