15 Facts About Kaido From One Piece That Will Fascinate You

It is well known that Kaido is the world’s ‘Strongest Creature’, the Governor-General of the Beasts Pirates, and one of the Four Emperors who rule over the new world. Kaido is also the father of the popular One Piece character Yamato. He is among the many antagonists of One Piece that debuted in episode number 739. The King of Beasts Kaidou is the main antagonist of the ongoing Wano Country Arc. This article will cover some of the very interesting and unknown facts about Kaidou

Kaidou was an apprentice of the legendary Rocks Pirates. 38 years ago during the God Valley Incident Kaidou ate the mythical fruit, the Uo Uo no Mi Model: Seiryu which was given to him by Linlin. Currently, Kaidou is in an alliance with one of his former Rocks crewmates and Big Mom’s fellow emperor. Let’s have a look at some interesting facts about Kaidou that most people don’t know about.

1. Kaidou’s design has been changed multiple times

Almost in every manga, the villains due to appear shortly are often hinted at a small sneak-peak, as the show progresses their design and appearance change a lot. Kaidou was hinted at soon after the Enies Lobby Arc and has been shown many times since then. The main thing to focus on is that the final version of Kaidou which we are seeing in the Wano Country Arc is very different from the ones shown before.

This change in Kaidou’s appearance can be because Oda kept on having different ideas regarding Kaidou’s look and as a result, his appearance and design kept evolving. Another reason for his changing forms could be his immortality or his Dragon Zoan which can reincarnate him.

2. Kaidou is addicted to drinking

The Emperor of the New World is almost always seen with a sake bottle in his hand, and if he’s not, everyone in the vicinity should watch out. It’s something even fans missed at first, but Kaido always seems drunk, and it is not an exaggeration. He is knocked out of his drunken state by Luffy the very first time he faces him in Gear Four. It enrages him so much that he destroys Luffy with a single hit.

Whenever Kaidou is sad, he’ll need booze, to celebrate his happiness he’ll need booze, and he even remains drunk throughout his day. He drinks so much that in a poll on Amino, almost 50% of the fans said that he’s the character in One Piece who can drink the most. Well, you can’t be Jack Sparrow unless you’re a pirate drunk throughout the day.

3. Drinking Sake makes Kaidou stronger

In chapter 1037 Kaidou unveiled his ‘Shuron Hakke’. Like Rock Lee’s drunk mode, Kaidou becomes more and more powerful after drinking. The more drunk Kaidou gets, the more unpredictable his movements get. Because of being drunk, he can swiftly transform too.

The latest chapter of One-piece (1042) named ‘The victor needs no epithet’ gives a major revelation about Kaidou. He can use future sight. Luffy keeps on punching Kaidou, who is in a drunken state. At that moment Kaidou reveals that the Observation Haki allows him to see into the future.

6. Kaidou can shapeshift constantly

10. Kaidou once fought Gecko Moria

Over the years Oda has shown us how far he has been thinking regarding One Piece and especially the development of various characters. The connection between One Piece’s characters is something that the fans admire the most. In the Thriller Bark Arc, Moria keeps on discussing that he needs the strongest army and the strongest soldiers by his side. That is because as later revealed in this arc Moria once locked horns with Kaidou in an epic battle and lost.

As things have turned out, Moria wants a powerful army to exact his revenge on Kaidou for killing his crew, Gecko Pirates 22 years back. As a result, Kaidou is the main cause for Moria’s insanity and dead from inside kind of attitude.

Known for his invulnerability, size, and ability to turn into a dragon, Kaido is invincible. He has horns reminiscent of the horns of Oars and Oars Jr. He is often referred to as a “thing” rather than a human.

Perhaps he’s a Dragon that can turn into a human, Vegapunk’s failed experiment, or even someone like Oars, who pulls continents.

13. He enjoys committing suicide

Everyone knows so far that Kaidou is kind of invincible. He doesn’t take any damage whenever fighting an enemy. Due to this, killing himself appears to have become one of his favorite hobbies.

On top of all this, he has faced severe torture at the hands of his enemy. His enemies have also tried to execute him 40 times, all of that for no good.

15. Kaidou is capable of influencing the weather

Since the time we saw Kaidou appear in his dragon form for the first time at Kuri, it has been widely believed that he can control the weather.

While Kaidou’s ally Big Mom takes the help of Zeus and Prometheus to bring about a change in weather.

Kaidou’s power and abilities (Haki)

Kaidou is considered to be an extremely powerful Yonko. It has been reported that he has survived situations where he would have been killed or executed countless times. His body is strong enough to shatter any spears or sword and only an advanced form of Busoshoku Haki can inflict damage on him. Kaidou’s main weapon is a giant Kanabo mace, Hassaika, his signature move being “Raimei Hakke”. He also wields a gun.
