Newsdelivers.com – Kaido is a middle-aged man who is known as one of the Yonko who rule the ocean. He is known as the captain of the Beasts pirates, a beast because almost all important members of the pirates eat the devil fruit or devil fruit made by Vegapunk. Because it is not a real devil fruit, when other people eat it, it causes side effects on their transformation.
Kaido was first mentioned by Monkey D. Grap, grandfather Luffy, while in Water 7. In addition, he was also called by Gecko Moria when Kaido managed to defeat him.
Kaido is the figure behind Kurozumi Orochi’s success in seizing Wano from Kozuki Oden’s legacy. Orochi became the shogun of Wano and Kaido became his right-hand man. Even though it was actually Orochil who was used by Kaido who used Wano as a trial country for Kaido’s experiments.
This time, Kaido’s battle against the Straw Hat alliance is getting more exciting. Moreover, when Momonosuke had become a big dragon who became a rival to his dragon transformation. However, not much is known about Kaido other than the little things that appear in the manga and anime series One Piece.

Summarized brilio.net from various sources, Friday (24/9), here are 9 hidden stories about Kaido, the strongest Yonko in the series One Piece.
1. Kaido’s design changed several times.

After being declared his appearance in the Enies Lobby arc, Kaido’s figure is still mysterious. He was seen in silhouettes and several times in promotional materials. However, Kaido’s current appearance in Wano, is far different from the version he first appeared in. This is of course the contribution of Eiichiro Oda, as the author and illustrator of the One Piece manga.
One possible prediction is that Oda formed Kaido from many different forms to demonstrate the ability to reincarnate with his Dragon Zoan which is often underestimated by other pirates.
2. The shape of the Kaido dragon is not a myth.

The Zoan Fruit that makes Kaido turn into a giant blue dragon gives him extraordinary abilities. In the One Piece series, there are several types of Zoan-type devil fruits besides Kaido’s. However, Kaido’s is considered a type born not from myth. It is thought to actually exist and is based on the Eastern Dragon in the mythology of Wano.
3. Kaido and Japanese folklore.

Kaido has been mentioned on several occasions as part of the folklore and culture of the Asian continent. Starting from Tsuna’s design of his belt, the giant stick he uses is similar to the Oni group in ancient Japan, and the whole Wano is just a few of the many references to Asia.
In addition, Kaido is also associated with Shuten-Doji, a Japanese demon figure in folklore. Shuten-Doji is a Japanese Oni leader who takes power by force and loves to drink sake. His figure is like a giant which makes him even more like Kaido. Shuten-Doji is finally defeated by a group of powerful samurai who use disguises to sneak into his lair and invite him to fight. Very similar to the Red Sheath Samurai group in One Piece.
4. Kaido si maniak sake.

In the One Piece series, one of Kaido’s habits is drinking sake, an alcoholic beverage in Japan. Kaido is always seen holding the drink whenever and wherever he is. In fact, even during critical battles, he always drank sake and enjoyed it. Kaido often spends bottles of sake in his sad, happy, and daily life with an unreasonable number of bottles of sake drinking by a normal human.
5. Kaido only chooses the strongest to be the crew.

Each pirate captain has a different tradition of raising his new crew. Like Luffy only looking for people who stand out for being good friends as well as members of his crew. Meanwhile Gecko Moria is looking for the best subordinates to help create his Shadow Army and do all the work for him.
While Kaido only chooses people he considers the strongest who will become members of his pirates. To him, it didn’t matter if the member was another pirate crew and had tried to kill him. If the person refuses to join, then he will put him in jail. He considers it as a tribute to the strength that this person has.
6. Small family for big man.

Each Yonko has his own philosophy for his family. Big Mom with her big family represents the meaning of family and friendship. While Shanks red hair represents freedom and romance, and Blackbeard represents Greed and the evil side of Freedom. While Kaido himself represents all forms. This was seen when Linlin, Big Mom and Kaido met at a banquet. Linlin with a large family that has 85 children, while Kaido only has Yamato and that doesn’t want to obey orders and even go against him.
7. Revenge of the wrath of Gecko Moria.

Gecko Moria and Kaido had met in the Thriller Bark Arc and their fight was called one of the legendary battles. Kaido won the battle and managed to kill the entire Gecko Moria army. This defeat makes Gecko have a bitter grudge and want to kill Kaido.
8. Poor man smiles.

Kaido is known by the crew and his opponents as a person who is poor at smiling. Every time a smile appears, it can be disastrous. In addition, if not in a smiling state, then Kaido will always look sullen with a frown.
9. Described as non -human.

Kaido’s depiction of a giant stature makes him similar to a demon in Asian folklore. In addition, the horn on his head is said to be similar to Oars and can make him turn into a dragon. Some predictions suggest that Vegapunk made a mistake when creating Kaido while he was conducting experiments.
