Oddly enough, seeing Kaido's backstory of being sold as a child soldier to the Marines with him expressing outrage over being used as a pawn makes me hate him even more. He knows how awful it is to be treated that way but he has no problem doing that to everyone else including his own son.
Disgusted, but not surprisedThere's two kinds of people in One Piece. Those who face the horrors of the world but persevere to remain kindhearted and hopeful. And those who let those horrors drag them down into depravity themselves.
Or another way: Those who are actually strong and those who are actually weak.
Mind you, I'm oversimplifying. If you don't have people to support you, finding the will to keep fighting is hard. Robin could've easily been like that - she almost was by the time she joined Baroque Works. Only after she met the Straw Hats, she was able to slowly build back up to have hope again.

Yes ZKK(Zoro Kills Kaido)is over and The raid is going to fail.
Also, I can't wait for the official release too.

Zoro Kills Kaido, that fan theory I told you about in the main thread.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.Ah. I did realize the Z probably meant Zoro, but for some reason I thought the rest meant "King Kaido." Like, since this was the manga spoiler thread, there was some kind of leak that connected Zoro's backstory to King's and Kaido's somehow.
So, according to the spoilers for Chapter 1050, Luffy's finally defeated Kaido and Momonosuke tells Zunesha of his intentions to open Wano's borders later on.
Also, I'm wondering what will Yamato's bounty be?

He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.I can see it being in the middle of the nine digits, if only for being Kaido's son, maybe with some adding to his strength. Still, beyond that, it'll take something that'd make the WG really shit their pants for him to have a considerable bounty.
Wake me up at your own risk.Panels have been leaked, one showing Luffy unconscious and smiling, same thing that happened after he beat Crocodile and Doffy
Yeah, Kaido is done. Not going to lie disappointed we didn't see a full backstory before his defeat. We'll probably get more regarding the Rocks Pirates and him later, but it would have elevated his character more before he got beaten
she/herYamato caught him too.

I figure we'll get the full story on Rocks when we find out the deal with Blackbeard.
Searching for meaning in meaningsLuffy beat Kaido for real!
Yes the longest fight so far is done!
And of course, OP fans are split on the decision.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.I wonder if they'll really die to the magma.
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.That segment with Toko really fucking got me...
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.Toko legit got me crying... I didn't feel that sad with Yasuie's death but seeing her "thank you Daddy" on that lantern got me crying for the first time from OP in a while
I get the different opinions. Wano and Luffy's fight with Kaido has been long and this chapter helped build on the emotional payoff of Kaido's defeat and Luffy's victory was earned. At the same time... if Kaido really is defeated we have an (by OP standards at least) underdeveloped antagonist with a few pages of backstory despite being a presence for years and ended up falling down into magna
Overall I think this was a good chapter in of itself. But it gets confirmed Kaido is done for and Oda doesn't wrap all these remaining plot threads up... ooo weee even more people are gonna switch up on Wano
she/herSo, do you think the remnants of the Animal Kingdom Pirates will become members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet at the end of this arc?
He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.Why would they? Even the ones under Tama's control will probably stay with her.
"They truly were a Aqua Teen Hunger Force"Not to mention that the World Government might increase Luffy's bounty now that his Devil Fruit has awakened.

He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.And defeating Kaido. The alliance too managed to beat Big Mom. Added to the Awakening, it might make Luffy the most wanted man in the world, if not behind his dad, and Big News would have it easy to hype up what just happened.

Wake me up at your own risk.The new summary for Chapter 1051 is out: Momonosuke becomes Shogun and Yamato decides to join the Straw Hats.
He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.And here...we...go....
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.Whoooo oh shit oh shit!!!!!!!!
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie.">Inevitable Sanji debates.
Welp, that's it for me. One Piece was a good read, think I'll bow out tho. I ain't ready for that shit storm.

@Watchtower So Luffy and Yamato are half-siblings?
