Villain Overview

The concerns of the Kurozumi Clan... and the Kozuki clan... means nothing to us!
~ Kaido after beheading Kurozumi Orochi.
What a shame... If you'd come with me, we could have conquered the world...
~ Kaido to the Worst Generation.
Glad to see you've still got that big mouth, Straw Hat!! We call this an Awakening. Your mind and body are finally able to harness the potential of your ability. And what a ridiculous power it is!!
~ Kaido to Luffy about Awakening.

Kaido is a major antagonist in the One Piece franchise. He is the Governor-General of the Beasts Pirates, a former member of the Four Emperors and was a member of the legendary Rocks Pirates as an apprentice forty years ago alongside prominent members like Big Mom and Whitebeard. He used to be a soldier of his home island, Vodka Kingdom but was betrayed by his homeland. He's the arch-nemesis of the Kozuki Clan, Gecko Moria and his child, Yamato.

He is considered widely to be The Strongest Creature in the World and has an army of about twenty thousand members with over five hundred of them being artificial devil fruit users in his crew of the Beast Pirates and is greatly feared as he himself cannot die, something even Big Mom vouched for. He and his crew recently formed an alliance with Big Mom and her crew to find the One Piece and take over the world.

After that was completed, they would end their alliance and resume trying to kill each other again. In his New Onigashima Project, he ended his alliance with Kurozumi Orochi and betrayed him by beheading him. During the final fight on the rooftop, he and Big Mom were defeated by Monkey D. Luffy and his allies. Both him and Big Mom are presumably dead when they fell into the magma deep within Wano Country, which causes a massive explosion. After his defeat by Luffy, the World Government had Kaido's status as an emperor stripped.

His bounty is currently 4,611,100,000 berries, the third highest in the series, only beaten by the likes of Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate and Gol D. Roger, and the highest of any living pirate.

He is voiced by Tesshō Genda (who also voiced Kurama in Naruto, Kratos in God of War, M. Bison in Street Fighter, VIRM in Darling In The FranXX, Younger Toguro in Yu Yu Harusho, Bojack in Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound, Grunbeld Arcbeast in Berserk, Raoh, Mahari, Dog Master Galf and Dante in Fist of the North Star, Impostor Captain Tennille in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, Cocktimus Prime in Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Moguro Fukuzou in The Laughing Salesman, Surtr in Fire Emblem Heroes, Xord in Xenoblade Chronicles, Largo the Black Lion in Tales of the Abyss, and Pierrot in Smile Pretty Cure!) in Japanese and David Sobolov in English.

Personality[]

Kaido is a prideful individual and sees himself as a powerful pirate. Due to his superhuman strength and endurance, Kaido regularly attempts suicide as a hobby because of his nigh indestructible body and sheer boredom. He also looks down on most other pirates like Luffy, Doflamingo, and the Supernovas. He considers them to be weak as they are nowhere near his level of power. In most of his appearances, Kaido have shown to have a homicidal temper and is willing to kill those who displeases him such as his business partner, Doflamingo, if he does not maintain the SMILE trade. His temper is not limited to his own crew mates and when he is upset he is willing to take his anger out on them. According to Law, Kaido is not willing to negotiate with his business partners if his business plans do not go well or if it does not benefit him.

Unlike other villains like Doflamingo and Big Mom who smiles and laughs regularly, Kaido maintains a serious demeanor and often frowns in many of his appearances. He is shown to be a serious, no-nonsense individual and is intolerable of anyone who opposes or threatens him and his plans when he is sober. Kaido is a heavy drinker and enjoys drinking alcohol and getting intoxicated. When drunk, Kaido can often time become emotional such as crying, laughing, or becoming more tempered. Kaido does not care about the damage he would inflict and the lives he endangers when he is intoxicated. Kaido has an addiction to drinking and when he is not in the mood to go after his enemies like Trafalgar Law he would prefer to get drunk instead. When forming an alliance with Big Mom, he happily reassure his crew that they will return to kill each other after they conquer the world.

Kaido is very cruel and sadistic even towards children as he demonstrated through mocking an 8 year old Momonosuke of his father Oden to be a foolish lord even when seeing him as the same age as twenty years ago. Kaido views Momonosuke to be weak and a failure compared to his father. Kaido shown his cruelty to Luffy by mockingly asked what king he said earlier and called him a brat after he defeated him. He is also extremely abusive toward his own daughter, Yamato when she looked up to Oden, Kaido brutalized her and cuffed with explosive handcuffs. If she ever leaves Onigashima, they are set to explode her hands which shows that he was willing to kill his own daughter. When he got injured by the Red Scabbards, Kaido sadistically mocked them that pirates will betray them and they are fools in trusting them.

Kaido prides himself in having a powerful team and is open to allowing supernovas like X Drake, Basil Hawkins, and Scrathmen Apoo to join his crew. Kaido also seeks to empower his crew with a powerful army and was enraged when he heard that Luffy defeated Doflamingo (the man who could provide him SMILE devil fruits). When Kaido is faced with strong opponents like Luffy or Eustass Kid, he is willing to allow them to join his crew despite the problems they have caused him or their defiance. At the same time, he express his distaste for people like Luffy and Kid who posses Conquerors Haki because he sees that there are too many of them and does not want more Conqueror Haki users to join his crew. For defiant people like Luffy and Kid, Kaido is willing to put them through prison labor and torture to break their wills so that they can submit to him.

According to Basil Hawkins, Kaido is not the type of man who would kill powerful individuals as he spared them to join him and his crew to forget the troubles they have caused and he will forgives them. Kaido is shown to be fearless of powerful enemies like Big Mom by commanding his subordinates to release Big Mom as he chose not to kill her when she is chained up and not at her full strength. Instead, he chose to battle her to the death when she entered Wano until for an unknown reason, they formed an alliance with the intent to conquer the entire world before they resumed to kill each other.

While fighting his powerful enemies, Kaido is very violent and does not like it when anyone interrupts his fights and is willing to kill those who dared to interfere his battles as punishment such as Kurozumi Higurashi and a CP0 Agent (seemly). He coldly apologized to Oden for Higurashi's interference but revealed the Daimiyo that he already killed her as punishment, while expressing a level of disappointment in not having a genuine fight before killing the latter. After decapitated Orochi, Kaido offered Orochi's troops to join him or die. He shown pleased after they've joined his crew when they are not actually loyal to Orochi from the start. After Luffy injures him, Kaido seems to show some respects for Luffy when he is putting up a decent fight. Despite of his prideful and selfishness, Kaido is shown to be pitiful and disappointment when believing if Luffy, Law and Kid would join his crew, they would conquer the entire world together. Similar to Oden, Kaido apologized to Luffy for the CP-0 agent's interference when he admitted he was a fool and calling the Cipher Pol agent as an idiot as well he didn't want to win by those who using an unwanted support or underhanded tactics that interfere his fight as both Higurashi and the CP0 Agent.

Kaido also has intolerance for others weaknesses when he has no use for his allies and disposes of them when he was done using them. He is quick to betray his own allies when he got what he needed from them as seen when he beheading Orochi when announcing the "New Onigashima Project".

Relationships[]

Family[]

  • Yamato: Yamato is Kaido's estranged daughter and the heir apparent to becoming Wano's Shogun. They have a strained and abusive relationship ever since Yamato was a young age. According to Yamato, when Kaido learned that they look up to Kozuki Oden, he attacked and continuously abused them physically, mentally and psychologically ever since Yamato was just 8 years old. Kaido also placed an explosive pair of handcuffs on his daughter's hands that would explode if they ever steps outside of Onigashima. In turn, Yamato holds a strong particular resentment towards Kaido. When Kaido speaks about his daughter to the Flying Six, he openly refers to Yamato as an idiot. Kaido also refers to Yamato as his "son" in front of others, indicating that he could either be hoping for a gradual cultural acceptance for Yamato's inclusion as the new Shogun (only males allowed) or as acknowledgement of their wish to be Oden.

Yamato is shown to be the antithesis of Kaido by looking up to Oden, one of Kaido's biggest enemies. Yamato kept Oden's journal a secret from their father and allied with Luffy, another sworn enemy of Kaido. Yamato is shown to be an advocate of opening Wano's borders and was instrumental in the war by fighting alongside Luffy against their father. Kaido also admits that part of his major announcement to the Beasts Pirates later during the Fire Festival involves his daughter and that he needs Yamato to be present by the time of the announcement. Kaido also wanted Yamato to meet Big Mom, a fellow emperor and long time friend. He assigned the Flying Six to find his daughter by any means necessary. He acquiesced to their request of challenging and replacing any one of his three commanders if they succeed in that task.

After beheading Orochi, Kaido insisted on making Yamato the new shogun of Wano, which Yamato was vehemently against. After Luffy removed their explosive bands, Yamato disowned Kaido as their father and called him a "bull-gorilla" after witnessing that the bands did explode, showing he was willing to kill them. Yamato's new hatred towards Kaido was so strong that they stated not to care if he dies. In their confrontation, Kaido showed no hesitation in trying to kill Yamato after his daughter revealed the desire to join the Straw Hat Pirates.

They have fought countless times ever since Yamato was an adolescent, with each attempt making Yamato stronger. Many of Yamato's moves were emulated from Kaido and he has shown to be proud of them being a powerful soldier. After Yamato ate the Makami fruit, it further augmented his desire of making them the undisputed Shogun of New Onigashima, despite not initially wanting to. Kaido said that it is was beneath Yamato to form friendship with human and that they should be grateful for being born with such great pedigree. He continued to throw vitriolic words at Yamato and knew of the escapades of hiding in the attic and running around the rocks just to survive, doing nothing to help them.

When Yamato awakened Conqueror's Haki 20 years ago, he was impressed and complimented them for inheriting such a rare skill, but stressed that if they continued saying they were Oden, it was better off if Yamato was dead. He has put Yamato through a myriad of life-threatening and traumatizing situations such as enclosing and chaining them in a cave for a month with no food and putting his sworn enemies in said cave, thinking they'll kill Yamato off as his offspring. Yamato was able to survive through all these attempts and wishfully believed that Kaido wasn't evil enough to kill her off, despite many blatant showings. That all changed after the cuffs did explode as Yamato tearfully swore not to care even if he dies.

Throughout Yamato's life, he personally ensured that all those that ever showed them kindness would be killed off through crucifixion, causing the young Yamato to think twice when interacting with new people. He continued to see Yamato as his successor until the very end, thinking Yamato would eventually come around and surpass him in power and deed, wishing that he could die correctly like Whitebeard after seeing that happen.

On the exterior, Yamato had no strong feelings about Kaido's downfall and was repulsed when Admiral Greenbull defended Kaido by saying although the fallen emperor's tyrannical rule was miserable, it protected the Wano residents from outside predators like himself.

Yamato then took a few days to decide to leave this place of misery and confinement. Although Yamato was forced to stay and experience unimaginable amounts of pain, powerlessness and horror, it was still their home for 28 years. However, Yamato's sense of exploration and freedom was strengthened, declaring once again the wish to leave the place with the Strawhats. Yamato is happy that the people are now free, and confident that the current Shogun is capable enough to protect it. Momonosuke then tells Yamato to leave with the head held high, that there was no need to worry about Wano anymore, and that their send off will not be tainted.

  • Ulti: After the death of her father, Kaidou took both Ulti and Page One (young children at the time) in under his care. Ulti, seeming to be on good terms with the Governor-General, is affectionate yet almost brazenly casual in how she speaks to him, to Page One's dismay (though she still addresses Kaidou with the honorific "-sama"). Further, Ulti does not seem to fear Kaidou and has no qualms about insulting him, calling his apparent summoning of the Tobiroppo "dumb" for what she deemed "another family problem", even to Kaidou's own face, which Kaidou seemed unfazed by. Yet, despite this lack of formal respect, Ulti holds Kaidou in high enough regard to believe that he will become Pirate King, getting offended by Luffy declaring that he would gain said title. Ulti originally stole both her own and Page One's Devil Fruits from Kaidou to become stronger and thus survive in the crew
  • Page One: After the death of their father, Kaidou took both Page One and Ulti in under his care. Page One seems loyal and respectful to Kaidou, being heavily dismayed by his sister's brazenly casual, if not, at times, rude attitude toward him.

Beasts Pirates[]

All-Stars[]

  • Jack: As Kaido's left-hand men, Kaido trusts Jack with important missions such as sending him to go after Raizo on Zou and rescuing Doflamingo, an important partner. However, when his men reported to him that the mission failed and that Jack was defeated, Kaido did not express any concern for him. Jack, however, respects his leader and at the same time acknowledges how powerful he is. When he appears in Flower Capital, he orders Jack to bring Luffy and Law to him. Jack fears Kaido for his powers, unpredictability and capriciousness. Kaido did not stand idly by when the Scabbards were humiliating Jack in their fight, intervening just in time to save him.
  • Queen: Kaido trusts him towards advancing the Beasts Pirates's goals. Kaido places Queen in charge of breaking the wills of powerful individuals and recruiting them within the Beast Pirates. They appear on good terms, as Queen was able to casually address him by his name in the manga, but in the anime addressing as Kaido-san. His loyalty to Kaido showed when he personally stopped and detained Big Mom, escorting her himself to Onigashima where Kaido resides. Queen vowed to not let anyone get to Kaido when Luffy and Zoro attempted to get to the roof.
  • King: Kaido trusts King as his right-hand man. Kaido was relieved when he heard that King took down Big Mom's ship. King's loyalty to Kaido was displayed when he refused to take up Big Mom's invitation to join her crew. King have his katana to Kaido in order to behead Orochi for objecting the New Onigashima Project. King also vowed to not let Momonosuke live when he was freed by Sanji. Many years ago, Kaido and King were test subjects of the World Government until they've escaped to form the Beast Pirates.

Headliners[]

  • Tobiroppo: Kaido trusts the Tobiroppo for their resourcefulness and powers. He entrusted them the task to search for his daughter, Yamato. If one of them found his daughter, Kaido will grant them the right to challenge the All-Stars to replace them, which both Who's-Who and Sasaki gleefully obliged. He was shown to be welcoming of the Tobiroppo during their meeting. He was also shown to not be hostile towards Ulti when she casually shows disrespect towards him.
  • Basil Hawkins: When Kaido destroyed Eustass Kid's base and disrupted their plans, Hawkins was terrified of Kaido. However, Hawkins joined the Beasts Pirates and was given a high position under his crew. As an unwilling member of the Beasts Pirates, Hawkins works diligently to fight enemies of the Beast Pirates such as going after Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro and Trafalgar Law. However, when talking to Law, Hawkins admits that he joined the Beasts Pirates as a way of survival claiming that had he went against Kaido, he would only have 0% chance of survival. Hawkins only agreed to work under Kaido as a means to surviving.
  • Speed: Speed was a loyal member of the Beasts Pirates but when she served Tama and tried to get her back to the village, Kaido brutally attacked her and Tama.

Others[]

  • Scratchmen Apoo: According to Hawkins, Apoo has been working with Kaido before entering into the Kid and Hawkins alliance. From the time he has been working with him, Apoo has shown respect for Kaido.
  • Lower-tier minions: Kaido has little to no respect for the minions that works under him. At times, he would lash out at them and attack them such as having two members place bounties of Luffy and Law on their faces and striking them with his mace. Kaido would easily lose his patience against them, expecting nothing short of perfection if they are taking care of a major threat such as stopping Big Mom from trying to infiltrate Wano Country.

Beasts Pirates Affiliates[]

  • Donquixote Doflamingo: Doflamingo was an ally to the Beasts Pirates and made a business deal with Kaido to give him SMILE devil fruits in exchange for weapons. Kaido needed Doflamingo so that one day Kaido can amass an army of 500 powerful SMILE devil fruit users to go to war. When Kaido heard the news that Doflamingo was defeated by Luffy, Kaido cried and said it was because Doflamingo was too weak. Eventually, Kaido wanted revenge against Luffy and Law for messing with his business deal. Doflamingo, on the other hand, was careful to not mess up his deals with Kaido out of fear that Kaido can kill him. Doflamingo like many others acknowledges how powerful Kaido is.
  • Caesar Clown: In their deal, Caesar works with Doflamingo to help provide artificial devil fruits and gas chemical weapon Koro to Kaido's crew. Caesar was necessary towards empowering the Beasts Pirates.

Straw Hats Pirates and Heart Pirates[]

  • Monkey D. Luffy: After learning that Luffy defeated Doflamingo, Kaido wanted sought revenge. In his conversation with Big Mom, where Big Mom told him she wanted to kill Luffy, Kaido told her that Luffy was his responsibility. When Luffy first encountered Kaido in Wano Country, he wanted to defeat Kaido immediately since he attacked his friends and allies, but was defeated in one blow. Due to this, Kaido considered Luffy to be weak and mocked hishis dream of being the Pirate king. He was however impressed by his ability to use Conquerors Haki and instead of killing him, he spared him. Kaido saw this as an opportunity to convert him into a loyal subordinate by sending him to be worked and tortured at Udon Prison. Luffy, on the other hand, despises Kaido for attacking his crew mates and allies and wants to defeat him. Kaido would later gain a new perspective of Luffy when the latter faced him in the war on Onigashima. Having battled with him for lengthy periods of time, Kaido became very delighted with his opponent and desired to continue his fight with Luffy. He even apologized to Luffy for the CP0 agent's interference and admitted he was a fool, in which Luffy accepted and continued where they had left off. He respected Luffy's strength to be ridiculous but also realized his "Paramecia" devil fruit has transformed into a Zoan type. Upon his defeat, Kaido acknowledged Luffy as "Joy Boy" before he lost his consciousness, having come to accept that he finally achieved his dream.
  • Trafalgar D. Water Law: When Kaido learned of Law's role in taking down Doflamingo, he wanted revenge. Unlike Luffy, Law is cautious of Kaido because of his strength. After defeating Luffy, Kaido decided not to go after Law immediately and wanted to drink instead.

Yonko[]

  • Charlotte Linlin: 44 years ago, Kaido and Big Mom met and was in the same pirate crew called the Rocks Pirates. 38 years ago, Linlin gave Kaido his mythical zoan fruit to save his life. He then ran away after the downfall of Rocks without telling her. Until recently, they were mortal enemies and they preferred to keep to themselves. They both have den-den mushis so that they can maintain direct communication with one another. Despite their past allegiance, Kaido have little respect for Big Mom and often refers to her as an "old hag", while she refers to him as a "brat". When Big Mom wanted to go to Wano Country to kill Luffy for causing her problems, Kaido refused to obliged and threatened to kill her if she dare to set foot at Wano. When Big Mom and some of her children were about to enter Wano, Kaido was outraged and ordered his men to sink her ship to prevent her from entering his country, telling them to prepare for an all-out war. When he got news that Big Mom failed to enter the country, he felt relief. After Queen escorts Big Mom to Onigashima, Kaido orders his men to remove the shackles off Big Mom, Kaido was fearless of her strength and power. He reminded her that he is going to kill her since she trespassed in his territory and prepared to fight her. After fighting her, Kaido and Big Mom decided to forming an alliance and are seen happily drinking together. They agreed that they will kill each other after they have conquered the world. Kaido and Big Mom planned a "New Onigashima Project" of seeking out Ancient Weapons and One Piece to wage war against the World Government. Kaido was visibly emotional when he felt Big Mom was defeated, emitting a burst of haki from his shout. They were defeated by Luffy, Kid and Law as well presumably dead when they fell into the magma deep within Wano Country, which caused a massive explosion.
  • Shanks: Kaido and Shanks 'clashed' off-screen when Kaido wanted to face Whitebeard before the Marineford War. Not much is known between both emperor's relationship, but Shanks managed to get to Marineford with no injuries, hinting that there may not be any conflict after all. In spite of Shanks being younger than him, Kaido respects Shanks and regards him as one of the six legendary pirates capable of truly challenging him.
  • Edward Newgate: Over 38 years ago, Kaido and Whitebeard were once on the same crew known as the Rocks Pirates. Before the Marineford War, Kaido attempted to attack Whitebeard but was stopped by Shanks. After he crash-landed to Earth from jumping off a sky-island, Kaido mentioned Whitebeard as a powerful individual and was mad that Whitebeard was able to die correctly but he could not. Kaido regards him as one of the six legendary pirates that can stand up to him in a death battle, having huge amounts of respect for him. Whitebeard in turn was weary of Kaido's strength, warning Ace not to go to Wano when he wanted to defeat him, saying he is stupid to think of defeating an opponent even Kozuki Oden couldn't. Whitebeard and Kaido held the titles of World Strongest Man and World Strongest Creature respectively, showing their similar caliber of strength and reputation.

Wano Country[]

Kozuki Family and Their Affiliates[]

  • Kozuki Family: Kaido is a sworn enemy of the Kozuki family and participated in Orochi's plot to take down the family. Kozuki family, views Kaido as a major threat for his allegiance to Orochi and his actions.
  • Kozuki Oden: Kaido wanted to know the secrets of Laugh Tale from Oden, but the latter refused to tell him about it. Kaido, who was allied with Orochi, participated in an attack against Oden and is responsible for his death. During Oden's execution, Kaido gives Oden one hour to be boiled. However, to Kaido and Orochi's surprise, Oden survived. Intent on killing Oden, Kaido decided to execute him with a gun. Before he execute Oden, Kaido apologized to the Daimyo for Higurashi's interference in their battle. When Oden was speaking, Kaido kills him mid-sentence. After Oden's death, Kaido spoke of ill of Oden towards his son, Momonosuke by calling Oden an "idiot lord". Years later, the scar Oden inflicted hurt him when the retainers attacked him to reopen his wound. In spite of their enmity, Kaido respects Oden and regards him as one of the six legendary pirates capable of truly challenging him.
  • Kozuki Momonosuke: Momonosuke is terrified of Kaido and is in fear of him when he saw him in his dragon form. Kaido once held Momonosuke in his hand and mocked him about how his father was foolish. Momonosuke disagreed and states to Kaido that he will take over the country one day. Instead of killing Momonosuke in that instance, Kaido throws him into the burning castle thinking he would have died. Momonosuke wants to defeat Kaido, the Beasts Pirates, and Orochi for what they have done. When Kaido learned that Momonosuke was still around, he wanted to capture him. When seeing Kanjuro bring Momonosuke in, he took note of him and saw him still look the same as 20 years ago, Kaido shown disapproval and viewed him as weak. After killing Orochi, Kaido mocked Momonosuke that Wano country will be no more and to become a lawless paradise for pirates. He asked Momonosuke the same question he asked 20 years ago of what his name is. Kaido was willing to spare his life if he lied by stating he is not Oden's son. However, when Momonosuke confirmed that he is Oden's son, Kaido attempted to execute him until foiled it when Luffy caused an explosion by removing the explosive armbands he place on Yamato and the Red Scabbards and Izo's arrivals. Kaido was later surprised by Momonosuke being aged up and holding the same power as him while he was in dragon form. Momonosuke retained his fear of the Yonko until Luffy encouraged him and the latter got over his fear by biting Kaido.
  • Kozuki Retainers and Affiliates: The Kozuki affiliates are enemies of Kaido and in the past stood up against him and the Beasts Pirates. In the present, the affiliates of the Kozuki family wants to defeat Kaido and dethrone his ally, Kurozumi Orochi. Kaido, however, wanted to capture them when he learned that they returned to the island. When the war begins, they directly attacked Kaido and impaled him into the scar wound that Oden slashed to reopen his injury, momentarily scaring him. He remarked on how Orochi was correct to be paranoid, since the Scabbards were right in front of him. After learning Luffy allied with the Red Scabbards, Kaido mocked them believing pirates will betray them only for Kin'emon tells the latter Luffy is different from other pirates. Kaido shown is shown excited when feeling pain and decided to fight the Red Scabbards with all of his might by taking them to the rooftop of Onigashima. Despite each of them putting up a valiant fight, they were defeated but Kaido did praise them for trying hard.

Former Government of Wano Country[]

  • Former Government of Wano Country: The formerly government of Wano Country were allied with Kaido and the Beasts Pirates and they do not mind using Kaido's men to maintain their rule and power in Wano. In the "New Onigashima Project", he gives the samurai choice to join him or die after he killed Orochi when he revealed the Kurozumi Family means nothing to him. Kaido is interested in getting Orochi's men to join his force and will not tolerate anyone who is against him. Kaido is pleased when they've joined his crew after they revealed they were never loyal to Orochi and swore to pledge their loyalties to Kaido. Unbeknownst to him, Fukurokuju betrayed Kaido and remained in Orochi's side.
  • Kurozumi Orochi: Orochi was an ally to Kaido for 25 years. In the past, they joined forces to go after and kill Kozuki Oden and destroy the Kozuki Family. Orochi throws a Fire Festival for Kaido each year in honor of defeating the Kozuki Family 20 years ago. As an ally to Orochi, Kaido allows Orochi to use his force to assist him in ruling Wano. When Kaido saw the broadcast of Yasuie's death by Orochi and his men, Kaido calmly remarks about Orochi's cruel nature by allowing the civilians to laugh when the man died knowing that they cannot properly express their sentiments (since they consumed the SMILE fruit). For many years, Kaido was shown to get along with Orochi as the two would be able to hold conversations. However, during the Fire Festival Kaido was interested in pursuing his own goals without Orochi and did not hesitate to behead him as the latter spoke out against his plans to take over the Flower Capital. Kaido admittedly revealed that Orochi was a pawn to him and his plans after he outlived his usefulness. Kaido claimed no one believes Orochi and his delusions until he was confronted by Oden's retainers and remarked that he was correct after all. Following Kaido's betrayal towards him, Orochi managed to survive attempted to get his revenge on Kaido by burning down Onigashima, knowing full well he couldn't kill Kaido in a fight. Unfortunately, he was foiled and lost his life because of his petty vengeance.
  • Kurozumi Higurashi: In the past, Higurashi was once an ally to Kaido and it was her who got Kaido to invade Wano. However, due to her interference in his fight with Oden, Kaido killed her as a punishment.
  • Kurozumi Kanjuro: They met twenty years ago, as part of his role for Orochi, Kanjuro fought against Kaido and escaped execution with the retainer. The Yonko was surprised by his dedication to his mission and continued loyalty to Orochi after he revealed his survival. When seeing Kanjuro bring Momonosuke in, he took note of him and stopped his men from attacking Orochi's man. Kaido also took Kanjuro's warning about Scabbards coming and sent a few men to help him stop them.

Civilians and Prisoners[]

  • Civilians: Kaido does not care about the impoverished and oppressed position that most civilians in Wano Country has to go through. Because of the pollution that comes from Kaido's factory, most food and water are not eatable or drinkable. When Kaido goes on a drunken rampage, the civilians are in fear of him. Some civilians secretly believe in the Kozuki family and that one day they may return to take down both Kaido and Orochi. Other civilians, however, are brainwashed by Orochi's propaganda to believe that Kaido is a great person for helping Orochi maintain Wano's isolation from the rest of the world. In his New Onigashima Project, Kaido attempted to make Wano as a lawless island for pirates and will enslave Wano's civilians.
  • Ashura Doji/Shutenmaru: Ashura was once allied with Kozuki Oden and his retainers against Kaido. When Kaido encounters Ashura, he tells him that he was willing to forgive him for what happened in the past and invites him to join his crew. Ashura rejects his offer and attempts to run away from Kaido.
  • Prisoners: Kaido have prisoners work at Udon prison to help him make weapons. While in the prisons, the prisoners are regularly mistreated, battered, and tortured. Kaido looks at his prison as a way to break the wills of strong people like Luffy and Kid who are defiant to him.

Rock Pirates[]

  • Rocks D. Xebec: Kaido was the apprentice of his late captain, Rocks. The nature of his loyalty toward his captain and old crew is currently not known but Rocks appeared in Kaido's memory after he was injured by Luffy, suggesting a tense status. Regardless, Kaido respects Rocks' strength, placing him as one of the legendary pirates capable of truly challenging him.

Other Pirates[]

  • Gecko Moria: Moria and Kaido once fought in the past. Kaido ended up killing Moriah's entire crew. As a result, Moria harbors an intense hatred and fear Kaido. He became a shell of who he once was, losing all motivation and becoming extremely weak that the world government had to dispose of him.
  • Eustass Kid: When Kaido destroyed a major portion of his base, Kid glared at him. Off-screen, Kaido easily defeated Kid and kept him imprisoned. Kaido acknowledged Kid's strength and wanted him to join his crew by sending him to Udon prison in hopes of breaking his spirit so that he can join him. Kaido also taunted an unconscious Kid. However, Kid swore revenge against Kaido for destroying his base, capturing him, and ruining his plans. In prison, Kid often gets into arguments with Luffy about wanting to defeat Kaido to become famous.
  • Worst Generation: Kaido disapproved of the Worst Generation. He considers them all to be pathetic and weak with early Luffy and Kid as examples, thinking they’re way over their head of thinking they could become Pirate King. But, he acknowledged their strength and wished them all to join him. Kaido shown disappointed that if the Worst Generation would come with him, they could have conquer the world together.
  • Gol D. Roger: Kaido fought Roger and Garp 40 years ago during his time with the Rocks Pirates. However, he and his fellow crew mates were defeated after Rocks' death. Decades later, Kaido and Big Mom are still attempting to get Raftel and obtain Roger's treasure, the One Piece. To this day, Kaido held great respect for Roger and regards him as one of the six legendary pirates capable of truly challenging him in a death battle.

World Government and the Affiliations[]

  • World Government: As a former Yonko, Kaido is one of the greatest threats to the World Government's operations. 40 years ago, Kaido and his former crew mates of the Rocks Pirates killed many World Nobles and their slaves in God's Valley. The government feared the worst when Kaido and Big Mom formed an alliance to conquer the entire world as Rocks once attempted. After the Shichibukai's dismissal, he announced to his crew of his plans to seek out Ancient Weapons and One Piece to wage war against the World Government. When Guernica interfered his fight with Luffy, Kaido easily defeated him by smashing the agent with his mace for his interference. When apologizing to Luffy, Kaido called the CP0 agent who interfered his fight an idiot. 46 years ago, Kaido was given away to the World Government to become a Marine by the Vodka Kingdom in exchange for the rights to become a nation member of the Levely. However, Kaido hates the World Government and the Celestial Dragons when he angrily refused to become a "Government's dog" when he escaped from the Marines, causing Kaido to start his new life as a pirate instead.
  • Marines: As a pirate, Kaido is the enemy of the Marines. The Marines are terrified of him of not only his strength and might, but his reputation over 40 years during his time with the Rocks Pirates. Kaido was captured by the Marines and his rivals 19 times. They attempted to sentenced him 40 times but failed and Kaido sank nine Marines' ships from the Buster Call. During his childhood, Kaido escaped from the Marines due to his refusal to become a Marine officer when hating the Celestial Dragons.
  • Monkey D. Garp: Kaido had met Garp 40 years ago during his time in the Rocks Pirates. While attacking the Celestial Dragons and their slaves, Rocks and his crew were defeated by the alliance of Garp and Roger. Years later hearing about the possibility of Kaido and Big Mom forming an alliance, Garp expresses little concern about their allegiance even though they were going after his grandson.

Powers and Abilities[]

As an Emperor of the Sea, Kaido is an extremely powerful and influential individual. He is stated to be so strong that Doflamingo, an incredibly strong and generally fearless pirate, became terrified at the thought of having to anger him. His intimidating and treacherous reputation seemed to make Doflamingo ponder on fighting the Marine Admirals when Law suggested quitting being a Warlord or staying to deal with him. He is strong enough to fight evenly with Shanks when the latter intercepted him from attacking Whitebeard.

His bounty of 4,611,100,000 berries has made Kaido an extremely dangerous threat to the World Government's operations, and it was the third highest pirate bounty in existence. After Roger and Whitebeard's death, he was the undisputed highest bounty pirate alive.

Physical Prowess[]

Kaido is considered to be the strongest "creature" in the world. He is said to have survived countless situations where he others would have been killed or executed. He has survived many types of torture and even guarantees execution. His body is strong enough to shatter spears that should stab him. He attempted to commit suicide dozens of times but would always survive every time even to the point of it being a hobby. He is stated to be a being that is nearly immortal and simply cannot be killed. For instance, he fell from Ballon Terminal (a sky island about ten thousand meters above the ground) to the island where Eustass Kid's alliance was at and survived it with no scratches but just a headache. Kaido's immense durability allowed him to take attacks from Luffy's gear third and gear fourth forms without receiving any injuries and felt nothing but little annoyance to him.

Despite of his huge size, Kaido possessed immense speed and agility as he was too fast for Luffy's advanced Kenbunshoku Haki. Only Ryou (an advanced version of Busoshoku Haki) can hurt Kaido when he got impaled by the Red Scabbards to reopen his scar wound from Oden and later when Luffy punched him (after Luffy had mastered advanced Busoshoku Haki during his training at the Udon Prisoner Mine), and advanced conquerors haki can hope to even cause him any visible damage. Luffy's newly awakening powers hurts Kaido.

He has immense strength as he defeated Eustass Kid, a notorious pirate with a bounty of four-hundred and seventy-million berries and emerge without a scratch even taunting him for his loss. He easily defeated Luffy, a pirate with a bounty of 1.5 billion who used both third and gear fourth to attack but Kaido knocked him with a single strike from his spiked mace, showing a glimpse of his abilities. Kaido also easily defeated a CP0 agent who interfered his fight with Luffy by smashing him with his mace.

In his initial fight to the death with Big Mom on Onigashima, Kaido fought to a draw with his fellow Yonko after 3 days of fighting in base form. To finally take him down, it took the combination of the Nine Red Scabbards, 5 Supernovas, Yamato and Momonosuke to finally take him down. The legend of always betting on Kaido on a one-on-one continues to remains unchanged,

Kaido has a powerful will as he was completely unaffected by Shank's, Luffy's and Big Mom's Haoshoku Haki.

Devil Fruit Abilities[]

Kaido's Dragon Form

Kaido in his dragon form.

Kaido has eaten the Uo Uo no Mi, a mythical Zoan devil fruit that allows him to transform from his humanoid form into a large blue eastern dragon. In his dragon form, Kaido can fly and have clouds appear around him. While in his dragon form, Kaido can travel fast enough to allow the wind to move people and objects off the ground. He also has the ability to shoot pressurized air from his mouth that is strong enough to destroy the entire ruins of a castle. Kaido also has the ability to shoot a beam of energy at his target.

He can also transform into a dragon hybrid form which greatly increases his attack and defense, retaining the ability to shoot an energy beam from his mouth. His skin became even more tougher than in his fully dragon form.

Weapons[]

Kaido's main weapon is a giant Kanabo mace, Hassaikai. His "Raimei Hakke" can break though his enemies' defensive abilities including Luffy's Gear Fourth Haki and a CP0 Agent's Tekkai. With his mace, he can instantly defeat his enemies without efforts. However, it doesn't seem to defeat those endured his attacks due to their mastery of Ryou such as Luffy in their second fight.

Kaido also wielded a gun which he executed Kozuki Oden. He has shown to be able to wield other weapons as he used King's katana to behead Kurozumi Orochi with one slash.

Haki[]

Kaido is one of the few people in the world who is capable of using all three forms of Haki. Law stated that he could not directly move Kaido around inside his "Room" due to his Haki being too strong. So far only Him, Shanks and Luffy have use the advanced application of each one.

Haoshoku Haki[]

Kaido has Haoshoku Haki, which is the rarest form of Haki for those who holds the qualities of a "King". More than most, he has mastered it to the fullest, being able to perform feats beyond knocking out weaker-willed opponents. Kaido can infuse it into his body and Hassaikai, granting either an immense boost, generating streams of dark lightning. This is an advanced technique, which a handful of the "truly" strongest can use.

In addition to Busoshoku Haki and his tremendous strength, Kaido is capable knocking out some of the strongest pirates among the Worst Generation such as Luffy, Zoro, Kid, and Law.

Busoshoku Haki[]

Kaido is an immensely powerful master of Busoshoku Haki, which allows him to strengthen his Hassaikai's offense and defense, letting him harm devil fruit users. In the battle on Onigashima, his hardened Hassaikai was powerful enough to damage Luffy, who hardened his arms similar akin to Katakuri. Kaido can use advanced Busoshoku Haki, letting him emit it from a distance, and thus from his Hassaikai, letting him strike opponents from a distance with devastating power without making direct contact; this is strengthen to a greater extent through infusing Haoshoku Haki in his hardened wepaon.

Kenbunshoku Haki[]

Kaido possesses Kenbunshoku Haki, which he first demonstrated when he sensed the "voices" of the supernovas in the wake of his and Big Mom's combined attack which enabled him to tell they were still alive. In the rare event that he faces an attack that will harm him, Kaido can also use this Haki to help him dodge. Kaido can use this Haki to help him dodge. Kaido can also utilize the advanced application of this Haki, as shown when he saw the future in order to avoid Luffy's high-speed attacks.
