🔒 Closed Theory about KAIDO: THE MYTHICAL MONSTER

KAIDO: THE MYTHICAL MONSTER
Now before I begin, I’d first like to draw your attention towards Kaido’s introduction.

Look at Killer’s words. Next:-
The key points I want to highlight here is, he was captured 18 times, defeated 7 times and tortured again and again. And for the last image:-
The narrator’s words that one on one he is unbeatable and more importantly the words “Amongst all things that live on the land, in the sea or in the air”. This is going to be an essential part of my evidences.

Arguments For and Against:
Now to first establish whether Kaido has a devil fruit or not:-

We all know about Kaido’s suicidal tendencies. He wants to die and has tried tons and loads of stuff. We also know that a Devil Fruit eater’s inherent weakness is sea water and sea stone. So wouldn’t it just be easiest for him to drown in sea water and commit suicide?
So people say he is not a devil fruit eater.

I will refute this basic argument with a rational statement:-
He so desperately wants to die. Even if he wasn’t a devil fruit eater, he can still drown by stopping his breath in water. Any creature or being can die that way. Another way is to simply go so deep in water that the water pressure crushes his body and organs as we saw in Sanji’s fight against Kuroobi in Arlong Park arc.

SO WHY ISN’T HE DEAD? WHAT EXACTLY IS KAIDO?

I say he is a Devil Fruit eater.
-Then why won’t he die in sea water?
-He has been captured 18 times, and had execution orders passed against him. If he is restrained in Kairoseki (sea stone), can’t he be easily killed? Doesn’t that weaken him?

The reason for this is simple:-
Refer the Third Image I posted in introduction section. He is “The strongest ‘creature’ among all in the air, land or ‘sea’!

First he is a creature and what if he can survive in the sea? If that’s true then he is immune to sea water and in turn sea stone which is why he can’t die like a normal devil fruit eater.
Still doesn’t make sense as to how there can be a devil fruit eater without this inherent weakness?

Let me explain:-
– There are many creatures that can survive in the sea like fish or reptiles or any marine species. What if he possessed a zoan fruit like one of these? Zoan devil fruits are the only ones which grant you powers of creatures and hence if he a zoan sea creature, he can survive in sea water and sea stone and basically loses the inherent weakness.

Kaido is a power hungry yonko who craves war for excitement as seen in the images above. If a Zoan devil fruit granted him such immense power, doesn’t that also explain his obsession to create a zoan devil fruit army.


SMILES are artificial zoans and while I believe they have more weaknesses and are less stronger than natural zoans. This does explain Kaido’s obsession with zoan devil fruits.

Now what zoan type is Kaido. He definitely isn’t a normal zoan with such abilities and neither is he an ancient zoan. He is a mythical zoan. Which fruit I feel he has, I’ll come to that later. To prove this I can give some more examples and evidence:-

1) Jack the mammoth:-
He is 1 of Kaido’s 3 main right hand men known as 1 of the three calamities. He has the ancient zoan Mammoth fruit. Wouldn’t it be fitting if the three calamities were ancient zoans while their boss was a mythical zoan. I have tried to reason Kaido’s fearsome power and indestructible body and will delve more in detail later. Besides this is what Nekomamushi had to say about Jack:-


If ancient zoans are so rare, mythical zoans become the rarest class of fruits which is fitting for a Yonko ruler like Kaido.

2) X Drake:-


Wasn’t Kaido supposed to take out X-Drake? Yet X Drake became his subordinate and a pretty high standing one it may seem as he issued the note to Kaido of Doffy’s defeat. This also makes sense since he is a rare ancient zoan which makes him very impressive and appealing to Kaido and his zoan fruit obsession.

3)Marco and Sengoku:-
These are the 2 mythical zoans shown in the series before. We have just seen glimpses of their abilities but their abilities were indeed very unique for example, Sengoku’s shock waves or Marco just turning part of his body parts into blue flames of the pheonix. Mythical zoans are very mysterious which is why it makes sense for Kaido to be a mythical zoan considering the hype.

So let us believe that he is a mythical zoan for now but then which type?

Mythical Zoan:- Dragon
Let me explain why Dragon. In the past 10 days I was constantly reading about mythical creatures from various mythologies for atleast half an hour everyday. I’ve read about over 100 mythical creatures but just 1 ticked all the boxes. I’ll explain this in detail in 3 categories, 3 A’s basically with references mainly from Chinese and Japanese mythologies:-

1) Appearance:-
At first look, Kaido looks a slight bit similar to Oars Jr. and Oars in appearance with his horns and massive frame. However I feel it to be more like Marco’s pheonix transformation. Kaido has maintained an appearance where he looks like he is a part human giant and partly a mixture of animals with his skin and horns. He is called by Law as ‘Hyakuju no Kaido’ which literally translates to Hundred beasts. However a liberal interpretation of the term Hyakuju also means ‘All of the beasts’. Now what does this have to do with him being a dragon.

Hope the read was worthwhile and you guys enjoyed it.
