What If Shanks and Kaido ACTUALLY Fought

[@almy-qy1lf]

I completely disagree with many points of your analysis. During his fight with Luffy, Kaido expressed the belief that no one could defeat him. He wouldn't believe that, if Shanks had defeated him, or displayed stronger haki than his, 2 years ago. Kaido certainly didn't think Shanks was stronger than him. He simply thought he was strong enough to give him an interesting fight. You used Kidd to scale Big Mom. That is pretty wild, considering Law and him tag teamed her, used all of their most powerful moves (even twice in Kidd's case), and besides that, they couldn't even K.O her. They won pretty much by ring out. And most people would agree that their teamwork played a crucial role. In an actual 1v1, Kidd would have been completely ragdolled by BM. And although it's fair to say that Kidd endured numerous attacks from Big Mom, I think being on-guard helped Kidd, and Big Mom hardly landed her highest AP attacks on Kidd. The attacks she used were more DC than AP. Shanks one-shot Kidd, by landing a clean ACoC hit, on a pretty much off-guard Kidd (since Kidd was loading a Damned Punk Shot at some other target). I'm pretty sure Kaido could do the same thing. Off-guard blows are particularly devastating, probably because protective haki is something that must be used actively. If you're hit without properly coating yourself, the damage is much higher (Zoro proved it, by saying that if he hadn't covered himself in time, King's Jackpot attack would have killed him). Haki coating makes a huge difference. I can't see an off-guard Kidd tanking a Ragnaraku, Thunder Bellow Bagua or Destroyer of Death Thunder Bagua. On top of that, I would say sword attacks have an intrinsic AP advantage. By nature, swords are very lethal weapons after all. I mean, just look at Zoro's fights. How many blows did he need, to end most his opponents ? Typically just one effective shot (i.e once he's figured how to harm an opponent). Swordsmen's fights are typically not about who can out-endure the other's sword slashes, but being the first to properly land a clean hit. A top-tier swordsman needs only one shot to end your life. So their AP factor is extremely high, among the highest in the verse. Only people with stronger haki, and more refined uses of it, can rival that AP level. Shanks being a top-tier swordsman, you don't want to be hit by one of his strongest attacks, as I'm sure Divine Departure was. Especially when he's angry, as Shanks was, when he one-shot Kidd. Only people like Big Mom and Kaido have the durability and endurance to endure those and keep fighting, and even they would know better than to let Shanks land multiple clean hits. I also doubt Shanks can kill just about anyone's observation haki. That stuff probably doesn't work on elite haki users, like the yonkou.

@@almy-qy1lf can you like summarize your points

[@nathanwelling8948]

@almy-qy1lf One thing I have to disagree with you on is Kidd being off guard. Sure, he was aiming the cannon elsewhere, but he had noticed Shanks seconds before the Divine Departure was used. As for Big Mom's durability, it's really overrated by the community. The only swordsmen we saw trying to cut her were Law and Brook, and neither of them use advanced armament, which is all Zoro needed to cut Kaido's scales, doing more damage than G4. I do like how you understand that swords definitely affect the amount of damage someone can do. Some people act like someone's haki being superior, even if it's only slightly, automatically gives that person better AP.

[@almy-qy1lf]

@nathanwelling8948 Kidd was absolutely caught off guard. Off-guard = your guard was not up, you were in no position to defend yourself properly, and your opponent could land a cheap shot. Noticing someone instants before he cuts you, doesn't mean you were at liberty to defend yourself appropriately, especially when the attack is coming at you fast. If Russia realized the U.S had launched its entire nuclear arsenal at all its command centers, 30 seconds before the nukes land, it would still be catching Russia off guard. I don't think Kidd had seconds to react (in real time, it was probably less than 2 seconds). And Kidd was in a vulnerable position, and doesn't seem to have good reaction speed anyway. Shanks fell on him before he could defend himself properly. Before even Killer could defend him (and Killer had to intervene, because Kidd was left completely open). Let's call a spade a spade, please. Shanks did catch Kidd off guard with that Divine Departure. That event was just a mirror of Chapter 1, to re-emphasize the kind of pirate Shanks and his crew members are. Remember in Chapter 1. A bandit pointed a gun at Shanks, and Lucky Roo shot that bandit totally off guard. To which Shanks said there was no fairness when fighting pirates, and that the one thing that gets him mad is endangering his friends. Similarly, Kidd (a bandit lol) had his Big gun pointed at Shanks's fleet (friends). So like Lucky Roo, Shanks pulled out of nowhere, and ended Kidd's career off-guard, with an ACoC named attack. He was willing to give Kidd a fair, probably measured fight in the beginning. He was even inquiring about Kidd's health, wondering if he was fully recovered from his battle in Wano. But when Kidd endangered his fleet (he literally foresaw Kidd killing them), Shanks stopped caring about all that anymore. He went for the kill, before Kidd could harm anyone.

Kaido's title (最強の生物/Saikyou no Seibutsu) translates to "World's Strongest Living Thing/Organism" and not Strongest Non Human as you said in the video, do your research. Shanks is a living thing so it ends here. Also you mentionned that Kaido encountered Shanks with all of his crew which is false. Kaido had only King (Alber) with him while Shanks had his entire crew (also known as most balanced crew/impenetrable fortress according to Brandnew). In chapter 1046 Kaido tells G5 Luffy "There is no one in this world capable of taking me down" which happens 2 years after the encounter with Shanks. Kaido's entire narrative was about him completing his character arc by being defeated by Joyboy so it takes away not only from that narrative, but from Luffy's victory over him if Shanks was actually stronger than Kaido all along. Shanks is trong enough to be put on Kaido's list and that's it. King despite encountering Shanks didn't think he was Joyboy (A man capable of beating Kaido) and that will take away from his entire narrative of Joyboy being that savior figure to the Lunarian he is (he thought it was Kaido). To conclude, most people (especially content creators) just prioritize agenda over facts. It's possible for Shanks to be revealed as being stronger than Kaido in the future (even tho that will contradict the pre established narrative I've ellaborated on above), but it's Oda story so he can do what he wants.But as of now, everything points to Kaido being the strongest at the time before his defeat!

Lol preach. Shanks is literally the least defendable top tier, he got feats here and there but just scales lower than the bigger players like Mihawk and Kaido.

[@bleacheman]

I have too many mistakes to point out: 1. Shanks vs Kaido:Kaido acknowledged Shanks' strength, putting him among 5legends, but then he said "no one in this world can beat me". Kaido is stated to be the strongest creature, the strongest pirate, Ace's novel states Shanks is the weakest yonko (Thatch: one must be at least as strong as Shanks to become a yonko)(WB stating Shanks is the easiest yonko to be defeated). Shanks' fate is most likely to be defeated by BB narratively. 1on1 always bet on Kaido both on air, land and sea. Ace's novel created by Oda states[Chapter 3] According to some information collected by Skull in Spade Pirates, Whitebeard is the strongest in the world. But the author of this novel says it is not easy to define the word "strongest". Skull loves anything about pirates and collects pirates goods. He believes Kaido is the strongest in 1 on 1 fight. He adds that Kaido is the "strongest creature". He wouldn't die even if you tried to kill him; Big Mom is the "strongest family"; Whitebeard is the "strongest pirate" from the way he has lived.." 2. Luffy was near to death multiple times, while Kaido's injures nowhere were near to death even once. That can be compensated by Luffy being recovered instead of Kaido. So Luffy took way more damage for his way weaker body than Kaido. Most of the damage on Kaido was done by Luffy as of pre G5 period: Zoro's one attack couldn't weaken Kaido as much as Luffy's multiple attacks, while Kaido stated Scabbards' attacks were pitiful. Same for Kid, Law, Yama not weakening Kaido much in comparison w/ Luffy constantly knocking down Kaido. Luffy was definitely fatigued as well as Kaido for being close to death multiple times and standing again&again. For instance, base Doffy vs base Luffy, where Doffy, who took Law's attack, etc, stated Luffy seems to be halfdone after Bellamy beating him*. Luffy said Doffy is so too. Fans looking at this d say "Luffy was healthy, while Doffy was already halfdead after Law". Then we also saw Kaido saying he's just becoming stronger after drinking. In the end, Bajrang Gun overpowered Flame Bagua, KOing Kaido(Road to Laughtale states Luffy overpowered the strongest creature), which proves Luffy's ap>~Kaido's. Luffy has turned up to be zoan, boosting his Endurance, Durability. Road to Laughtale also states "the more Luffy laughs, the stronger he becomes in gear 5". It all doesn't matter much, if u look at Luffy at 20% in g5(stated he was beat) beat 30-40%Kaido(who wasn't beat)due to stronger haki, as Bajrang Gun vs Flame Bagua was called haki clash, thus Luffy's haki was boosted in last clash, becoming slightly stronger Kaido's haki. So healthy Luffy w/ stronger haki and stronger df now will 55/45 vs Kaido.Luffy w/ haki boost>=Kaido>~G5 before haki boost. Short answer: around 20% Luffy(was stated to be beat) beat 30-40% Kaido(wasn't that beat). Luffy in g5 was still weaker than Kaido cuz of haki not being on Kaido's Ivl, but in their final Bajrang Gun vs Flame Bagua clash, which was called haki clash, Luffy's haki overpowered Kaido's haki, thus current Luffy w/ slightly stronger haki&stronger df>=Kaido>~g5 Luffy before haki powerup. 3. Shanks said to Benn, Yasopp, Roo to go all out if facing Kid, stating he's way stronger than they think,n it turned out Kid is even way stronger than how Shanks bragged him, as Shanks didn't expect Kid to oneshot his fleet.u can't close ur eyes on the fact that Kid was cheap shotted n Shanks used Kid's attack vs himself. Kaido also oneshotted Oden by cheap shotting. Oda pays too big attention on circumstances,which u underestimate.

@ndibunwapeter9013 you're completely missing the point. No one is saying that self-hype is 100% accurate. The point is, Kaido BELIEVED no one could defeat him, and he wouldn't believe so, if Shanks had defeated him, or clearly dominated him just 2 years ago. Whether or not Shanks is in fact stronger than Kaido is irrelevant. The argument here is simply that Kaido can't have been defeated by Shanks, because otherwise he wouldn't BELIEVE himself unbeatable, at that point. Furthermore, King was with Kaido when the scuffle with the Red Hair Pirates happened. King expected Joyboy to be the only person able to defeat Kaido. If he had witnessed Kaido being defeated 2 years ago, it would completely void that narrative of his. In fact, Kaido himself agreed with King. That's why when he K.O'd Luffy again, he lamented that Luffy couldn't be Joyboy, after all. It's more likely that Kaido simply didn't lose any 1v1, probably since he conquered Wano.

Power-wise, I always believed that Shanks, Mihawk and Dragon were going to be above other top tiers except endgame Antagonists from start. They were all portrayed to do things so far out of the league of East Blue that they didnt even seem to come from the same anime as any of the OP characters we had seen. Infact technically, Mihawk IS an end game Antagonist. No matter when any of those three are put in a combat scenario they still easily put down whatever threat there is and are seemingly foreign regardless. Whether it be Mihawk sailing the grandline on a dingy and never being bother by pirates and marines alike, Dragon leading a Revolution that directly opposes the world government itself or Shanks seemingly having immunity and ability to do what he wants when he feels like whether it be going for the One Piece or having an audience with the Elders

Also Shanks blitzs akainu, and ben blitzs kizaru in marineford. And if we look at flim red which isnt cannon, BUT oda says feats and other stuff like dynamics that are shown are cannon. Shanks blitzed and overpowered a kizaru who doesnt have a reason to hold back, while a holding back, mental nerf and not using haki kizaru was going toe to toe and drew with g5 luffy, got up a second lateer after getting 'knocked out' or 'one tapped' some people say by luffy and gets up and gives luffy food so luffy can continue fighting. Kizaru also was shown to be faster than g4 and dodging, completely overpowering and one shotting him {something kaido couldn't do} and was also faster than luffy g5 only being hit when he was snuck/offguard except the WSG, which he tanked. {Kaido was on his back longer than kizaru from that move, as well WSG that hit kizaru should be stronger from him being more use to g5} Also another thing is killer was cutting up kaido in dragon form, and zoro cut up hybrid form which both doesnt compare to divine departure.

[@almy-qy1lf]

Shanks never blitzed Akainu, he snuck up on him while Akainu was focused on something else. Oda never said such a thing, Kaido was not on his back longer than Kizaru. There wasn't even an actual indication that he couldn't get up. He laid down for seconds, or just one or two panels in the same chapter. Meanwhile, Kizaru was confirmed unable to fight for a while, and was out for a few chapters. The notion that he was nerfed is irrelevant to he fact that an attack took him out. And that's also a Kizaru who had taken waaaaay less powerful hits than Kaido. Kizaru didn't one shot Luffy, wtf ? Luffy didn't even pass out from that kick. He was simply sent flying through the barrier. Yes, Kizaru's speed was basolutely impressive, but as a wielder of a light DF, that ws always supposed to be his forte. However, Kaido too showed that he could overwhelm Luffy in terms of speed, since he was able to dodge and blitz Snakeman even in his massive dragon form, and he blitzed even G5 multiple times, with variations of his Thunder Bagua. Killer cut Kaido from the inside, with a sonic attack. Zoro cut Kaido, but none of this attacks had any impact on the remainder of the battle. Also, you can't really say how Zoro's last ditch Asura compares to Divine Departure. Shanks is certainly stronger than Zoro overall, but it doesn't mean that a desperate last ditch attack from Zoro giving his all cannot rival any of Shanks's attacks. Zoro may be lacking in many other regards, but when it comes to AP, he can certainly deliver. Maybe Zoro's Asura could one-shot Kidd, if he caught Kidd off-guard, like Shanks did with the Divine Departure. Cheap shots have proven more devastating, time and time again.

[@almy-qy1lf]

Simplistic logic, to think everyone has to keep getting ever stronger. Very unimaginative storytelling. The yonkou were already portrayed as pretty much the strongest pirates. There can't all of a sudden be a flurry of people stronger than them, it would make them look like frauds. This is already the last saga, and the manga is about finding the One Piece, not having lots of fights. Luffy will probably never have a life-or-death battle against Shanks, like he did against Kaido. So being stronger than Kaido is unnecessary for Shanks. narratively speakng. That doesn't mean that Luffy won't face any higher challenges, but difficulty isn't found in sheer strength only. There's powerful hax like Lunarian flame-on durability, or the gorosei's infinite regen. Very annoying things. There's handicap matches, trickery and unfair fights, the typical time constraints, and so on. All those can be used to build up tension, no need for scores of people that would be stronger than the reputed strongest creature in the world.

[@almy-qy1lf]

Dragon and Shanks, don't need to be stronger than Luffy or Kaido, narratively speaking. Maybe Imu, EoS Blackbeard, or Akainu. Ambition =/= strength. Coby is ambitious, Blackbeard is ambitious, Buggy, Sabo...they're all ambitious. They won't all necessarily turn out stronger than a former yonkou. The story doesn't need that, at all.

[@almy-qy1lf]

@shashwatdewa2311 I expect Dragon to have CoC, but Oda never said it was a hereditary trait. I also expect him to be strong, but he doesn't really have to be stronger than Kaido. It's not about liking Kaido or not, it's about the narrative. Popping out a flurry of characters stronger than the Yonkou just makes no sense, and belittles what the Yonkou were supposed to be. Kaido will probably never be power cliffed. A true power cliff is when someone's strength is totally outclassed by more than one character. I don't expect to see characters with Kaido's top class combination of stats any time soon. The problem with you guys is, not only you can't imagine tension without a stronger opponent, but you also assume Luffy will have similar battles with all these guys : extremely high stakes (life or death), relatively fair, 1v1 battles, where he has to push himself beyond his limit. He won't. And understand me well : I'm not saying no one will pose a comparable challenge to Luffy. I'm saying being stronger than Kaido isn't the only way to be a pain in the a$$, for Luffy. Kaido was all about sheer strength; overwhelming brute force (offensively and defensively), resistance, and skill, used as a combat tool. That was his thing. But that's not the only way to be troublesome, in One Piece. We've recently seen two types of hax, that were the most annoying : hax durability with the seraphim (lunarian genes), and hax regen with the gorosei. We also saw how Kizaru's speed could be bothersome. Nika is already completely broken, that's why in G5, he was able to beat Kaido. It's the same power Joyboy had, and Vegapunk said that that power alone made a Buster Call look like a joke. The gorosei themselves feared it so much, they ordered a CP0 agent to make sure Luffy was killed, fearing he might awaken his DF power. We're talking about a guy who can turn an admiral into pizza and use him as a frisby, and turn a tree into a bat, while an enemy's attack is coming at him. Kaido is the only guy so far, to go nearly toe-to-toe with sun god Nika in all stats. To rival his strength, going blow for blow. There won't be many.

[@davidortiz3094]

Shanks is extremely powerful but he never beat Kaido. Kaido saw Shanks as someone who can face him, not beat him. Actually, Kaido believed Whitebeard could kill him. Not Shanks. Yes Shanks has advanced haki but so does Kaido. It doesn't matter that Shanks can see far into the future. Speed overrides future sight. Been confirmed.

[@JT-km6th]

Both dunk on Big Mom by the way

[@brothsipper-h5o]

This is glaze Kaido was literally said to be the strongest in the verse, and always bet on him in a 1v1, he was getting jumped by 20 different people and almost won, and was holding up a moon sized island while doing so, and knocked out Luffy 3 times during the fight 😂, and he wasnt even trying, so an 100% Gear 5 Luffy could barely take out like a 10% Kaido holding up an island and barely trying and even then needed a resolve amp from the people of Onigashima, while Shanks was about to fold to Akainu who got one shot by an old dying Whitebeard 😂, its not even close

[@ndibunwapeter9013]

It is, kaido himself glazes shanks, you saying "it's not even close" is just dumb when Kaido literally acknowledges Shanks capable of giving him a deathly battle. Kaido himself literally debunks your baseless claim. Secondly, don't you guys read?? The narration literally goes " people say" and "it's said to be" if it's a 1 vs 1 always bet on Kaido. No one said you're winning that bet. It was never stated Kaido will win the 1 vs 1. Plus kaido was never said to be the strongest in the verse, like bruh, you're just lying. Thirdly, if you believe Kaido is the "strongest creature in the world" that would contradict whitebeard " world's strongest pirate" title, lmao and unlike Kaido' s rumors, whitebeard title is official.
