What I mean is that the first act can be abused very easily by enemies with regeneration: they can hurt Kyoraku without worrying about the consequences, while the illness might not affect them at all or its effects could be heavily mitigated.

Likewise, the throat-cutting in the final act would be completely useless. The only useful part of the Bankai would be the sea, and even that could fail if the enemy has as much or more reiatsu than Kyoraku.

First, Big Mom is in her prime—no dementia or anything like that.

Big Mom has access to the shadow homies that collect souls, so she can use the entire lifespan of everyone in Totto Land if she deems it necessary.

The fight takes place in Totto Land, obviously, and Big Mom is willing to sacrifice as much lifespan as necessary—both her own and that of her citizens—to win.

Whiterbeard literally tells Teach, “You’re not the man Roger was waiting for.” Roger was specifically waiting for Luffy. Shanks was also waiting for Luffy. Gaban and Rayleigh were waiting for him too. Anyone who knows even the bare minimum about what happened during the Void Century knows that Luffy is the man who is supposed to defeat Imu. Gaban literally tells Luffy this, obviously referring to Imu—the guy standing right there.

How can people read all of this and then go, “Actually, EVERYONE was wrong. Blackbeard is the real chosen one and he's going to kill Imu and become the final villain”? Every single piece of narrative evidence we've been given points toward Imu being the final villain.

This guy isn't a navigator, he isn't a helmsman, he isn't a cook, he can't play music, he can't read Poneglyphs, he can't cut mountains, and he doesn't know shit about medicine. His only actual utility as a carpenter disappeared after the Merry, meaning he's gone more than 900 chapters without doing ANYTHING with that role.

And he can't even say that his captain is going to become the Pirate King because he's too fucking scared to say it. Seriously, what the hell is this character even supposed to contribute? He's not just miles away from being a brave warrior of the sea anymore—he's miles away from being even remotely useful to the crew.

I'm genuinely tired of seeing posts about this fucking guy. It's like Kaido haters have PTSD from him and feel the need to make fun of him every single day. There are tons of posts claiming he's YC level and all that bullshit, and whenever you bring it up, it's always "but Kaido glazers!" Yeah, Kaido glazers—but they barely fucking exist. You're fighting ghosts. There are maybe one or two actual Kaido glazers; everyone else is just trying to powerscale.

But the moment you say Kaido beats someone—even if that someone is fucking Marco the Phoenix—you immediately get downvoted and insulted. It's stupid. I don't even care if people stop talking about him altogether, but after seeing like 10 hate posts a day about a character who left the story MORE THAN TWO YEARS AGO, I'm genuinely starting to wonder how much damage this bastard did to everyone's agendas.

Because at this point, I'm starting to think the haters genuinely believe Kaido is Pirate King level or something. Why else would you need to make ten posts a day explaining how weak he is? If you actually thought he was weak, you wouldn't be this obsessed with proving it.

Just let the fucking guy die already. Or at least stop forcing him into every other post, when half of them are just nonsensical hate with badly made arguments and the other half are completely taken out of context.

There are more than 10 posts a day just shitting on Kaido. Ten fucking posts every single day. It's honestly insane how much these obsessed haters hijack the sub.

Out of those, like six are just stupid takes that get upvoted because this sub is full of people who don't read the manga and are only here because of TikTok and agenda posting. You get takes like "two YC1s beat Kaido," "Gaban no-diffs Kaido," "Zoro and Sanji extreme-diff Kaido," "Kuzan beats Kaido," and even worse shit.

These takes show up consistently posts that anyone with a functioning brain would recognize as stupid. And I don't care whether they're ragebait or whether they genuinely believe this shit; there are simply way too many of them every single day.

Then there are usually two posts from people with no feats but a bunch of narrative arguments claiming someone is above Kaido for basically no reason. Those are at least somewhat respectable because they have some arguments behind them, even if they're vague and inconsistent.

And then there are maybe two posts that are actually worth debating instead of being complete garbage.

The thing is, 10 hate posts about a single character every day is simply too much. Ten hate posts about any character would be excessive. It just clutters the sub, makes the community feel incredibly repetitive, and honestly makes it look even worse than it already does.

People keep putting him above the Yonko and the Admirals. They say he's PK+, that he's a god tier, that he's the strongest living character... but what the hell has he actually done to deserve that much glaze? At least in the One Piece I've read, this guy's greatest feat is having desk Haki that's somehow superior to Akainu's. At this point, it almost feels like he's trying to surpass Kong in Desk Haki.

Mihawk gets constantly criticized for his lack of feats, yet this guy doesn't receive even 0.001% of the hate Mihawk does, despite having even fewer feats and less screen time while getting a comparable glaze.
