@@monkeyd.vinsmoke6088 idk if Oda actually takes that into account when someone does their last resort attack. They always unleash their most powerful attack when they’re on their last leg, but why, tho? Ex: Crocodile, Enel, Moria, Vergo, Caesar, Doflamingo, Katakuri, and some characters that I won’t spoil. Kaidou gave Zoro and Killer the opportunity to land a free hit on him and he didn’t unleash it then? It’s kinda goofy.
Ah yes, the SQUARES, the CUBES, and the RECTANGLES! To be able to scar Kaido in his hybrid form, while insanely weaken is mindblowing. Zoro is quite literally BUILT DIFFERENT. Mihawk is looking more and more scary (Yonko level) with how much stronger Zoro has gotten!

And yeah, I bet had mihawk been there to watch this battle, that move would have won a raised eyebrow and nod of approval. Followed after by "Ok, now fight on that level all the time and we can have our match" Dude just significantly wounded the physically toughest yonko in the world and left him with yet another permanent scar.
@@chrishubbard64 it’s funny ppl would use the vista or jozu argument for mihawk but I’m 90% sure zoro is over both of them by a gap with spoilers Advanced coqs
I always feel the same way. I hope I live to the end of some of the greatest series out there, and I pity the people who couldn't make it. I mean, there's more to life for the dead to miss out than anime, but anime (especially scenes like this) can be a pretty big thing to miss out on!
It adds a sense of urgency and suspense like Kaido did everything he could and was still cut. Zoro not only being strong enough but proving he'll do it efficiently. I'm pretty sure Kaito and luffy were going all out before this recklessly and zoro had a remark about how over aggressive they were.
Out of all the swords that Zoro has, Wado Ichimonji is easily his most basic AND most important sword at the same time. Obviously, when I say basic, I mean that it hasn't stood out and is kind of under the radar. Enma is a powerful sword but it is likely the closest to becoming a black blade as we understand it currently. Furthermore, it's likely the sword he will learn the most from too.
the wado and enma are the same rank too (directly bellow the hightest) its the Sandai Kitetsuthats the odd one out now, ive seen other people say the wado should be one of two things to happen the first to become a black blade becuase it means so much to him and has been there teh longest or the last to during his fight with mihawk im inclinded to belive the later because enmas werid powers seem to indicate its going to happen the soonest like you said and that would complete his journey.
@Morgan Irvine To be honest, Zoro needs to make all three of his swords black blades. I think Enma will be first as it's already on its way. He will learn the true nature of forging black blades from that and then his goal will be to forge Wado Ichimonji and maybe Sandai Kotetsu if he doesn't replace it with a different sword by the end of the series.
@@daniellim7440 Sure, I don't mind. I'll do my best. Essentially, most named blades are "cursed" and have wills of their own. The idea is that the sword chooses its wielder. The first sword forged by a swordsmith is always the "strongest." This implies the first forged sword has the most potential but also has more personality, if you will. It also means that the sword decides if the person using it is worthy. If you recall, Sandai Kitetsu is referred to as a "problem child" that cuts more than it's supposed to. Zoro even references this during the baroque works island of Whiskey Peak right after receiving it from the shop owner in Loguetown. Shisui has a bad temper, making it difficult to handle, as well as being heavier than normal. And of course Enma, as I am sure you know full well by now, is extremely violent and has a very big appetite for Haki. So you can sort of think of higher grade swords as sentient weapons that have personalities. So, the theory is that black blades are forged when the swordsman exerts their will over the sword and infuses it with Haki; therefore, having a complete mastery over it. The theory suggests that it's not just Armament Haki, though. Conquerer's Haki also needs to be infused into it. Now, what that actually means for the sword is anyone's guess as of right now. It's safe to say that based on what we have been given thus far, any sword can become a black blade, not just high-grade swords. Hawkeye is actually the one who said that to Zoro. This suggests that making cursed swords black blades is significantly harder than making low-grade swords black blades. Either way, that's about as much as we know regarding the matter. So what does that mean for Zoro and his swords? Well, Enma is the closest to becoming a black blade as we understand it currently. I can only assume this means that, because of its gluttonous nature when it comes to Haki, it consumes Haki faster than normal and thus hastens the will of the swordsman over the blade. I don't see a scenario where Oda doesn't explain it further, but that's the theory so far. We know Zoro has been confirmed to have Conqueror's Haki so it goes without saying that he's very capable of making his swords black blades if the theory holds any sort of weight. Anyway, I hope that was helpful enough. The whole thing has a lot of mystery surrounding it still and I can't imagine a scenario where we won't get more info on it later. Edit: Thought of one last thing to add that maybe wasn't quite obvious enough. Higher grade swords have more personality and are harder to master. Which is why, theoretically, it's actually better to forge those into black blades for the swordsman than lower grade swords since you have to overcome the will of the sword with your own Conqueror's Haki.
After that move, Kaido said, “You should be happy… that scar will remain.” You can almost tell that Kaido was impressed from zoro’s attack even tho zoro expect Kaido to at least fall
Spoiler Well he did what only the best fighters in the past were able to do and that is really hurt Kaido. Also scarring him was only done by Oden before. And how he did that (covering himself in Haoshoku haki) is what Luffy only will find out in the next episode we will see in 4 weeks after the movie promoting episodes. So basically Zoro made this step (unknowing that he actually did) before his captain will do it knowingly next time. And after Luffy figures it out the fight will become a lot harder for Kaido. This also lets us assume that Mihawk does not possess Haoshoku haki because he did not teach Zoro how to use it, even though it’s highly unlikely Zoro didn’t use it in his 2 years with him. So that might be the chance to surpass Mihawk
@@ジュリアン95 he will surpass mihalwk but just don't now, we will se the final battle will be shanks against luffy and zoro against mihalwk. The two strongest people against his two strongest pupils
@@ジュリアン95 but why would mihawk teach zoro CQ HAKI? From what we’ve seen in the flashbacks mihawk thought zoro basic armament and that’s it. Why would he make his “rival” stronger, he wants zoro to learn it for himself. Like he said “learn about yourself and this world, then come and challenge me”
@@Chorre7 You have to learn what Mihawks Goals are...He wants Just worthy opponents who at least entertain him in a sword Battle.since shanks lost His arm He doesn't want to Battle him because He Thinks shanks is to weak with one arm.i think thats a pretty good reason why He trains Zoro ...after their First Encounter in east blue He Said "surpass me Zoro."
@@Chorre7 We haven‘t seen much from every single member of the straw hats during the timeskip. Even Luffy was just trained by Rayleigh for a short time and then we don‘t really know what happened until the story picked up again. Mihawk had no obligation to teach Zoro anything at all but still he did. So drawing the line at Mihawk only teaches armament haki is just as much proven as saying Mihawk does not have haoshoku haki. Just a theory but I think it fits well. Also we‘ll have barely time until One Piece is discovered and the final arcs start, there‘s not much time for progress anymore. We won‘t get another 5+ fights from Zoro that will boost him on a higher level than Mihawk. So if he now just has to learn to consciously use haoshoku haki and also cover himself in it (what only the best of the best can do), would be the best way to make him become the strongest swordsman.
Zoro hasn't mastered CH yet, He hasn't mastered Enma yet, He was totally exhausted and took a big hit earlier, And with all that still managed to make Kaido take a big hit and permanent scar
You forgot that Zoro is never as strong as when he's critically wounded. So him being exhausted and taking a big hit actually increased his strength. Zoro hack number one
@@romainboutelet8408 false, even pre time when Zoro got injuries it nerfed his capabilities, hell even arlong pointed out that if zoro wasn’t so injured he could’ve given him a fight. Also think about it, zoro is human with limitations he can fight injured yes but also making him stronger mid combat has never been stated.
Zoro is on a whole nother level. After tanking the world's strongest attack alone, and being seriously weakened, he got up and scarred Kaido, something only Oden could do. And he couldn't even control enma as well as Oden! And this is a prime,hybrid kaido, way stronger then the one Oden fought. Zoro is the goat
@@rooodis456 no the hell he doesn’t ,Zoro admits that he hasn’t surpassed oden yet after he defeats king ,y’all are delusional,all of your talking points saying he was injured saying how much stronger kaido has gotten is irrelevant because Zoro himself acknowledges that oden is still above him ,your opinions don’t matter .
@@rooodis456 Zoro is a beast no doubt … but he’s def not beating Oden 😂 He barely learned to fully control Enma during his fight with king, something Oden could do perfectly … he also fought Roger and WB , Zoro haven’t reached that lvl yet.
@@Shark-hn4mv I think you're confusing strength with stamina. Kaido was literally just smashing his club into zoro without infusing it with any haki it was just his raw strength and zoro was using his strongest ability and infusing his attack with conquerors haki.
Omar Although, I’d rly like to see Zoro grind like Luffy did vs Kat and Lucci. Felt this was a little too quick, but regardless this scene was fkin amazing
Idk what’s crazier. The fact that this is the first time zoro goes all out post timeskip, and he’s fatally injured, or the fact that he’s the second person to scar kaido BUT the first to scar a prime, hybrid kaido.
@@Bochnia1000 Oden scarred a 20 year weaker kaido , Akazaya never scarred kaido just cut him, those wounds healed completely . Zoro is the first to scar prime hybrid kaido
@@BigzyMaloney you’re right and Oden gave a scar to Kaido when he was in his dragon form, Zoro gave him the scar in his hybrid form which is way more durable than the dragon form.
Oda once said people don’t become weaker at age, means the present version will always be the prime version except you’re suffering from a disease like Whitebeard did. So the Kaido here is definitely stronger than 20 years ago
Food-Waste and Starvation was a big Topic in the Wano-Arc, so lemme tell you: Seoncd Thoougth covered Food-Waste in his video 'Is Capitalism actually Efficient', so i dare to call that a must-watch for One-Piece-Fans.
Man, you watch Zoro and you can't help but admire him to the point where you start showing respect towards him, even though he's a fictional character. His loyalty to Luffy is just crazy. He always says his goal is to be the best swordsman, like it's something that will benefit only him. But when you see how he pushes himself when he's with Luffy, you see that he only wants to be the best swordsman so that he can remain worthy of being Luffy's subordinate... I know all the Straw Hats are important in their own rite, but Zoro has to be Luffy's most important crew member. In this fight alone, Luffy would have died a couple of times had Zoro not used himself as a shield. We also saw that when he suffered on Luffy's behalf against Kuma.
absolutely, keeps reminding mit why Zoro became my fav character in the first place back then. his fights have never been anything else than epic and honorable. he always shows great respect for his fellow swordsman opponents, be it mihawk, Mr. 1, Ryuma etc His internal codex is so strong you can't help btu respect the man
If you were to ask a One Piece fan what Zoro's defining trait is, there is a 99.9% chance they would say his fighting style. However, I would say it's his undying loyalty to his captain. That is what makes him such an incredible protagonist and friend.
@@mod2447 luffy is the main protagonist strawhats are the main cast story revolves around them 😐not just luffy remember luffy saying he can’t become pk without sanji
@@insolvenzberater he could’ve _been_ used it anytime after the Enies Lobby arc, but since it’s incredibly powerful and takes quite a bit of stamina, he uses it when nothing else he has works, so he used it here
This moment is more of an indication as to how strong the Yonko are. Big Mom and Kaido vs Luffy, Zoro, Kid and Law. Not to mention the Mink Tribe in Sulong form and the Akazaya Nine was wiped out prior to this battle. The cherry on top is that through all of these battles, Kaido’s power is holding up an entire island.
he only needs to produce the clouds, he doesnt need to keep physically "carrying" the island, once the clouds are there, it does it by itself, so i wouldnt count that as a feat of strength, its not on the same level as golden Shiki's floating ability
“Conqueror’s Haki, those who have the qualifications to be king” As y’all might know those who have Conqueror’s Haki have the qualifications to be king and here we see Zoro despite having this he priors Luffy’s life more than his life (u can be certain abt this during his fight with someone) so it’s amazing that he has unlocked it Also ofc Rayleigh too imo both him and Zoro are kinda underrated in terms of their loyalty towards their captains
0:43 to 1:02 I love this new implementation in Zoro's ost. This ost really had its big moment during the dressrosa arc against Pica but man, just by adding that new verse it just puts this fight against Kaido on a whole different level. I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed this.
Crazy to see just how the straw hats are now, Im not even a Zoro fanboy and I can honestly say he's just had the most insane highlight out of the Worst generation. Literally the other week he takes the hit of the strongest attack we've seen and now he cuts Kaido with Conquerors Haki.
@@mikeross6767 But he did EAT a devil fruit. Yes it was an artificial one and didn't give him powers but he still ate it. Plus lost the ability to swim as well.
The reason Zoro doesn't unleash Asura from the beginning is actually more simple than you think. It's a ultimate finisher. It may be the most powerful technique in his arsenal, but something like that also heavily drains your stamina more than any other technique. Which means if he uses it from the start and his enemy withstood it, he will no longer have enough stamina to sustain his damage output. Simply put, he will not use his most powerful technique unless it's a last resort.
10000% Of he just exhausted that move and himself at the beginning he wouldn't have been there to help Luffy in that 10 minutes without haki. He is just better in playing with the team then just being a one use absolute wreaking ball.
@@ryu_lidu its the same reason , you need to fight tactically , its like running a marathon , you need to run slow and steady if you sprint from the start you run will run out of stamina in the first half of the marathon , and for zoro the ashura style is called the "dead man's game" which symbolizes that its the last move in a person's arsenal just before their death (if they manage to miss / not damage the opponent)

@@key-sendo This is a weakened zoro basically at deaths door and he gave kaido a permanent scar something only oden did 20 years prior on a WEAKER kaido. Now imagine what a fresh zoro with advanced conquerers and no damage from a twin yonko attack would of done lol? Kaido would still win but this fight would be MUCH longer with zoro given kaido multiple scars to remember him by.
Zorro fighting literally side by side with Luffy at one of their hardest challenges is so amazing! Their entire dynamic & chemistry is truely mind-blowing. 🤯 Or the moment, when Luffy just fell asleep to rest and Zorro just "no problem". 😂 Also, how kid, law and killer are involved. Cant wait till the fight is over to watch all the AMVs about the entire fight on UA-cam. 😁 Im still watching (once a week probably XD) the AMVs of Goku vs Jiren and Luffy & Zorro vs Kaido will definitly be part of my motivation routine. 🤭
it would feel very meh if zoro used his ashura form or whatever which still isnt explained and make this big of a scene and not make a scar. i feel like the scwne and the amount of damage zoro did couldnt be more perfect, also he is supposed to be almost as strong as luffy is just like ben beckman is almost as strong as shanks.
@@hdhhdh8636 Oden was Yonkou level, and Kaido twenty years ago was at his prime. That is why Oden remains in Kaido's memory, instead what Zoro did was not a big deal for Kaido.
@@adhesive_dusk2563 If Zoro had been totally fine it wouldn't change anything, what's more, maybe because he was like that and knowing that Luffy could die is that he managed to do what he did.
Zoro has always been my favorite Straw Hat. He has so many freaking badass moments in Wano and this is an amazing one, clashing with a Yonko. I was so hyped to see Asura again.
At this point in the fight, Zoro is the only one who has left a permanent scar on Kaido, has dealt the MOST damage to Kaido and has the best feats thus far out of the supernovas. Zoro will indeed become the strongest and greatest swordsman in all of One Piece.
That boy Zoro is top tier and an elite warrior for going all out like that even after bones breaking from that ultimate attack from both Kaido and Big Mom. He's truly on his way to legendary status if not already there. He left a permanent scar on the king of beasts which is highly impressive.
This was the culmination of all of Zoro’s training since the beginning of Wano. Such a great payoff. Zoro may not have been able to stop Kaido, but his attack made an impression, which is definitely no small feat.
On the second strongest emperor at this point no less, the worlds strongest creature. No one has given kaido a permanent scar in 20 years since oden that is until the worlds strongest creature met the future worlds strongest swordsman not even at his best 🔥
0:40 this VERY specific expression of Kaido... some will say it's just tension and surprise, but I can see a tiny... smile? I have a feeling that deep down, Kaido is feeling excitement to clash at this temporary might, thus creating that weird feeling lol
when luffy got backshots from cp0 kaido started mourning because every one of his strongest enemies died unfairly while fighting him and he was finally happy when he had a strong enemy to fight which is that weird feeling he had
Kiado said I'll never meet another monster of a samurai again like Oden. Well, looks like you were dead wrong he put a longer scar also, kiado even freaked out when he powered up that's the first time he actually felt fear
At this point I think the only ones still alive that are above Zoro are Mihawk, Shanks, Rayleigh, and Garp, and the last two are debatable because of how old they are.
This is the furthest Zoro has hit his limits and used his full force since the time skip, the fact that Oda saved it for the battle against Kaido and Big Mom tells how much of an OP he has become, day by day he's becoming more and more ready for his clash against Mihawk.
Don't forget most of his bones were broken. This may be his strongest attack, but his body was nowhere near its strongest condition. "Putting your all" can only do so much in a state like that.
@@Shark-hn4mv no I don't think they were broken, and that doesn't matter too much, he used his inner strength for this attack, normally he wouldn't have the stamina to do it, but his inner power allowed him to, if he did that from the start, it wouldn't of made a difference, in Asura mode, it seems he can't feel fatigue or pain, he's just in god mode, like Tanjiro did vs Daki, he was never gonna knock Kaido down with that attack, even if he just did it from the start
Isnt his strongest attack the one against pica? Or the one he cut fujitora metorite, ichi Daisen dai sen sakai or something? "there is nothing i cant cut" he probably didnt use it because of plot and the long windup it has. Asura looks more like a form to me.
@@Blaze-hq4ox um no I don't think so, it seems that it drains all his power and energy, it's like his last resort and most powerful attack, I mean it's a nine sword style, it's his strongest attack, there's probably a reason he didn't wanna use it until now
@@Mashiro_TV idk i feel like this one was strong because of coq haki, but seeing how zoros first encounter with mihawk he lost using billions world, hes probably gonna beat mihawk with the same attack. But idk rn for sure asura, blades drawn: dead mans game is definetely his strongest attack but i feel like his eos would be the other one
@@123-o2r4n they are minor filler attacks but it is canon to me because zoro with all his strength and kings haki without knowing could parry attacks from kaido, i mean if he can cut him he can also parry his strikes its only logical.
If you pause correctly Wado became a black sword, Kitetsu like a red color sword and Enma like purple. My theory is that each one of them are going to have a different variation of black swords .
@@gabrieleskala313 That wont be a plot twist. If he is gonna be the strongest swordsman obviously he is gonna have black blades and since Wado stuck so long with him and is important. It's extremely obvious it will become a black blade. no plot twist here.
I think this might be the only external damage that Kaido experienced the entire fight. Even later vs Luffy those attacks were more internal bypassing his near invulnerable skin. Makes Zoro even more badass that he could just use brute force to actually damage Kaido instead of a get around
What a fight, though it was short it displayed all zoro's potential, I've watched it thousands of times and i can't get tired of it, Oda you're a genius

He will learn the true nature of forging black blades from that and then his goal will be to forge Wado Ichimonji and maybe Sandai Kotetsu if he doesn't replace it with a different sword by the end of the series.
@@Vermillionx do you mind explaining the theory of black blades? Everything I've read online made no sense to me
@@daniellim7440 Sure, I don't mind. I'll do my best. Essentially, most named blades are "cursed" and have wills of their own. The idea is that the sword chooses its wielder. The first sword forged by a swordsmith is always the "strongest." This implies the first forged sword has the most potential but also has more personality, if you will. It also means that the sword decides if the person using it is worthy. If you recall, Sandai Kitetsu is referred to as a "problem child" that cuts more than it's supposed to. Zoro even references this during the baroque works island of Whiskey Peak right after receiving it from the shop owner in Loguetown. Shisui has a bad temper, making it difficult to handle, as well as being heavier than normal. And of course Enma, as I am sure you know full well by now, is extremely violent and has a very big appetite for Haki. So you can sort of think of higher grade swords as sentient weapons that have personalities. So, the theory is that black blades are forged when the swordsman exerts their will over the sword and infuses it with Haki; therefore, having a complete mastery over it. The theory suggests that it's not just Armament Haki, though. Conquerer's Haki also needs to be infused into it. Now, what that actually means for the sword is anyone's guess as of right now. It's safe to say that based on what we have been given thus far, any sword can become a black blade, not just high-grade swords. Hawkeye is actually the one who said that to Zoro. This suggests that making cursed swords black blades is significantly harder than making low-grade swords black blades. Either way, that's about as much as we know regarding the matter. So what does that mean for Zoro and his swords? Well, Enma is the closest to becoming a black blade as we understand it currently. I can only assume this means that, because of its gluttonous nature when it comes to Haki, it consumes Haki faster than normal and thus hastens the will of the swordsman over the blade. I don't see a scenario where Oda doesn't explain it further, but that's the theory so far. We know Zoro has been confirmed to have Conqueror's Haki so it goes without saying that he's very capable of making his swords black blades if the theory holds any sort of weight. Anyway, I hope that was helpful enough. The whole thing has a lot of mystery surrounding it still and I can't imagine a scenario where we won't get more info on it later.
Edit: Thought of one last thing to add that maybe wasn't quite obvious enough. Higher grade swords have more personality and are harder to master. Which is why, theoretically, it's actually better to forge those into black blades for the swordsman than lower grade swords since you have to overcome the will of the sword with your own Conqueror's Haki.
@@Vermillionx Thank you so much. That explanation helps A LOT. I really appreciate it.
After that move, Kaido said,
“You should be happy… that scar will remain.”
You can almost tell that Kaido was impressed from zoro’s attack
even tho zoro expect Kaido to at least fall
Spoiler
Well he did what only the best fighters in the past were able to do and that is really hurt Kaido. Also scarring him was only done by Oden before. And how he did that (covering himself in Haoshoku haki) is what Luffy only will find out in the next episode we will see in 4 weeks after the movie promoting episodes. So basically Zoro made this step (unknowing that he actually did) before his captain will do it knowingly next time. And after Luffy figures it out the fight will become a lot harder for Kaido.
This also lets us assume that Mihawk does not possess Haoshoku haki because he did not teach Zoro how to use it, even though it’s highly unlikely Zoro didn’t use it in his 2 years with him. So that might be the chance to surpass Mihawk
@@ジュリアン95 he will surpass mihalwk but just don't now, we will se the final battle will be shanks against luffy and zoro against mihalwk. The two strongest people against his two strongest pupils
@@ジュリアン95 but why would mihawk teach zoro CQ HAKI? From what we’ve seen in the flashbacks mihawk thought zoro basic armament and that’s it. Why would he make his “rival” stronger, he wants zoro to learn it for himself. Like he said “learn about yourself and this world, then come and challenge me”
@@Chorre7 You have to learn what Mihawks Goals are...He wants Just worthy opponents who at least entertain him in a sword Battle.since shanks lost His arm He doesn't want to Battle him because He Thinks shanks is to weak with one arm.i think thats a pretty good reason why He trains Zoro ...after their First Encounter in east blue He Said "surpass me Zoro."
@@Chorre7 We haven‘t seen much from every single member of the straw hats during the timeskip. Even Luffy was just trained by Rayleigh for a short time and then we don‘t really know what happened until the story picked up again.
Mihawk had no obligation to teach Zoro anything at all but still he did. So drawing the line at Mihawk only teaches armament haki is just as much proven as saying Mihawk does not have haoshoku haki.
Just a theory but I think it fits well. Also we‘ll have barely time until One Piece is discovered and the final arcs start, there‘s not much time for progress anymore. We won‘t get another 5+ fights from Zoro that will boost him on a higher level than Mihawk. So if he now just has to learn to consciously use haoshoku haki and also cover himself in it (what only the best of the best can do), would be the best way to make him become the strongest swordsman.
Zoro hasn't mastered CH yet,
He hasn't mastered Enma yet,
He was totally exhausted and took a big hit earlier,
And with all that still managed to make Kaido take a big hit and permanent scar
You forgot that Zoro is never as strong as when he's critically wounded. So him being exhausted and taking a big hit actually increased his strength. Zoro hack number one
@@romainboutelet8408 false, even pre time when Zoro got injuries it nerfed his capabilities, hell even arlong pointed out that if zoro wasn’t so injured he could’ve given him a fight. Also think about it, zoro is human with limitations he can fight injured yes but also making him stronger mid combat has never been stated.
@@romainboutelet8408 arlong park is one of many times that prove you wrong
Tough
Leaving a scar isn’t a big hit💀 I could scratch myself on the edge of a door handle and that could leave a scar
Zoro is on a whole nother level. After tanking the world's strongest attack alone, and being seriously weakened, he got up and scarred Kaido, something only Oden could do. And he couldn't even control enma as well as Oden! And this is a prime,hybrid kaido, way stronger then the one Oden fought. Zoro is the goat
At this point, zoro definitely clears Oden😤
@@rooodis456 no the hell he doesn’t ,Zoro admits that he hasn’t surpassed oden yet after he defeats king ,y’all are delusional,all of your talking points saying he was injured saying how much stronger kaido has gotten is irrelevant because Zoro himself acknowledges that oden is still above him ,your opinions don’t matter .

Definitely not equally but I get what you mean.
@@donovanpitts6907, it's equally and then some. Kaido is just stronger so he can last longer.
@@Shark-hn4mv he wasn’t going all out. Luffy states later in the arc that his haki got stronger
OHHH I LIKE THIS COMMENT
@@Shark-hn4mv I think you're confusing strength with stamina. Kaido was literally just smashing his club into zoro without infusing it with any haki it was just his raw strength and zoro was using his strongest ability and infusing his attack with conquerors haki.
We finally saw Zoro hit his limit since the time skip, now it’s only a matter of time before he gets stronger
Your right. I just took that in. This was first time he was pushed to his limit since then.

CURSED CLOVER blocking you cus I don’t wanna see ur answer
Well... he hasn't used the sharingan yet
Idk what’s crazier. The fact that this is the first time zoro goes all out post timeskip, and he’s fatally injured, or the fact that he’s the second person to scar kaido BUT the first to scar a prime, hybrid kaido.
Oden was firtst, then Akazaya and Zoro
@@Bochnia1000 Oden scarred a 20 year weaker kaido , Akazaya never scarred kaido just cut him, those wounds healed completely . Zoro is the first to scar prime hybrid kaido
@@BigzyMaloney you’re right and Oden gave a scar to Kaido when he was in his dragon form, Zoro gave him the scar in his hybrid form which is way more durable than the dragon form.
@@kovacsgyuszi2529 also he was fatallyinjured
Oda once said people don’t become weaker at age, means the present version will always be the prime version except you’re suffering from a disease like Whitebeard did. So the Kaido here is definitely stronger than 20 years ago

@@member.5290 just wait :)
Man, you watch Zoro and you can't help but admire him to the point where you start showing respect towards him, even though he's a fictional character.
His loyalty to Luffy is just crazy. He always says his goal is to be the best swordsman, like it's something that will benefit only him. But when you see how he pushes himself when he's with Luffy, you see that he only wants to be the best swordsman so that he can remain worthy of being Luffy's subordinate... I know all the Straw Hats are important in their own rite, but Zoro has to be Luffy's most important crew member. In this fight alone, Luffy would have died a couple of times had Zoro not used himself as a shield. We also saw that when he suffered on Luffy's behalf against Kuma.
absolutely, keeps reminding mit why Zoro became my fav character in the first place back then. his fights have never been anything else than epic and honorable. he always shows great respect for his fellow swordsman opponents, be it mihawk, Mr. 1, Ryuma etc His internal codex is so strong you can't help btu respect the man
@Art Ogiwara chopper is right behind him in loyalty
He's one of the greatest characters ever and he inspires to push your limits
@Art Ogiwara cant forget ab sanji. he saved luffys life so many times
That scene in thriller bark solidified zoro as my favorite fictional character
If you were to ask a One Piece fan what Zoro's defining trait is, there is a 99.9% chance they would say his fighting style. However, I would say it's his undying loyalty to his captain. That is what makes him such an incredible protagonist and friend.
He is nit the protagonist.

It’s been 16 years, and we finally got to see it again.
It sucked because Zoro didn't use enough haki it was just his own spirit and natural abilities he ain't ready yet for being yonko level
Need to stop making it look like dragon ball.
@@user-vt7zo4wz5g tbh it looks worse than DB

He only does that when he gets serious.
This moment is more of an indication as to how strong the Yonko are. Big Mom and Kaido vs Luffy, Zoro, Kid and Law. Not to mention the Mink Tribe in Sulong form and the Akazaya Nine was wiped out prior to this battle. The cherry on top is that through all of these battles, Kaido’s power is holding up an entire island.
He's top 1

The blood splatter is everything OP needed and more.. Thank you Zoro
That honestly caught me off guard. I feel like OP has been toning the blood down lately, so that was a pleasant surprise.
“Conqueror’s Haki, those who have the qualifications to be king”
As y’all might know those who have Conqueror’s Haki have the qualifications to be king and here we see Zoro despite having this he priors Luffy’s life more than his life (u can be certain abt this during his fight with someone) so it’s amazing that he has unlocked it
Also ofc Rayleigh too imo both him and Zoro are kinda underrated in terms of their loyalty towards their captains
I mean katakuri, has it, and he’s under big mom, and used to give his life for her.
i think thats part of the allure of the 2 first mates. they both were kings but chose to follow men who dreamed.
I think only reason Zoro has it is because of his ambition to become the worlds greatest swordsman
It doesn't have to be a king in the literal crown sense. Zoro wants to be the "King of the swordsman".
Conqueror and supreme haki is the same? Or different?
0:43 to 1:02 I love this new implementation in Zoro's ost. This ost really had its big moment during the dressrosa arc against Pica but man, just by adding that new verse it just puts this fight against Kaido on a whole different level. I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed this.
Me 2! I totally love it, it sounds so smooth and really accentuates Zoro's self-confidence while heading towards a Yonko!
The One Piece soundtrack is timeless.
It isn't new I've checked
Its a great track but I believe its been around since the strong world movie
I like it too much in this scene, not too loud or too low
Crazy to see just how the straw hats are now, Im not even a Zoro fanboy and I can honestly say he's just had the most insane highlight out of the Worst generation. Literally the other week he takes the hit of the strongest attack we've seen and now he cuts Kaido with Conquerors Haki.

Same
"Did you animate it?"
"Yes..."
"What did it cost?"
"A flashback to just a couple of minutes ago."
The reason Zoro doesn't unleash Asura from the beginning is actually more simple than you think. It's a ultimate finisher. It may be the most powerful technique in his arsenal, but something like that also heavily drains your stamina more than any other technique. Which means if he uses it from the start and his enemy withstood it, he will no longer have enough stamina to sustain his damage output. Simply put, he will not use his most powerful technique unless it's a last resort.
Thank you, someone that understands it
10000% Of he just exhausted that move and himself at the beginning he wouldn't have been there to help Luffy in that 10 minutes without haki. He is just better in playing with the team then just being a one use absolute wreaking ball.
Same reason luffy doesn't just go full 4th gear at the start
@@ryu_lidu its the same reason , you need to fight tactically , its like running a marathon , you need to run slow and steady if you sprint from the start you run will run out of stamina in the first half of the marathon , and for zoro the ashura style is called the "dead man's game" which symbolizes that its the last move in a person's arsenal just before their death (if they manage to miss / not damage the opponent)
No
Enma has been waiting 20 long years to feel itself buried in Kaido's flesh. Zoro honored Oden more than anyone else could have.

zoro went crazy, but this was the most powerful attack he could do and put his all into it, Kaidos durability is insane
Don't forget most of his bones were broken. This may be his strongest attack, but his body was nowhere near its strongest condition. "Putting your all" can only do so much in a state like that.
@@Shark-hn4mv no I don't think they were broken, and that doesn't matter too much, he used his inner strength for this attack, normally he wouldn't have the stamina to do it, but his inner power allowed him to, if he did that from the start, it wouldn't of made a difference, in Asura mode, it seems he can't feel fatigue or pain, he's just in god mode, like Tanjiro did vs Daki, he was never gonna knock Kaido down with that attack, even if he just did it from the start
Isnt his strongest attack the one against pica? Or the one he cut fujitora metorite, ichi Daisen dai sen sakai or something? "there is nothing i cant cut" he probably didnt use it because of plot and the long windup it has. Asura looks more like a form to me.
@@Blaze-hq4ox um no I don't think so, it seems that it drains all his power and energy, it's like his last resort and most powerful attack, I mean it's a nine sword style, it's his strongest attack, there's probably a reason he didn't wanna use it until now

But idk rn for sure asura, blades drawn: dead mans game is definetely his strongest attack but i feel like his eos would be the other one
1:12 the japanese voice actor did a phenomenal job!
To see my dude, after all these years fighting Kaido. It's so awesome!
Did y'all see how Zoro was pushing Kaido attacks back??!! He pushed Kaido whole body back had him tumbling, Zoro a Beast!!
Yeah by the end of one-piece the monster trio and surviving supernova are going to be a whole new-species of monsters. Unparalleled and unique.
Filler i think
@@123-o2r4n they are minor filler attacks but it is canon to me because zoro with all his strength and kings haki without knowing could parry attacks from kaido, i mean if he can cut him he can also parry his strikes its only logical.
Filler lol
@@roguetank3526 canon to u is still filler💀
0:26 Zoro unleashes his Bankai
It Baki not bankai
This man's Bankai might as well the black blade he would Usurp form Mihawk.
My god, it's been 2 years back then...
If you pause correctly Wado became a black sword, Kitetsu like a red color sword and Enma like purple. My theory is that each one of them are going to have a different variation of black swords .
thats just the lightning bro, and zoro coating his swords in haki
@@wolfy8838 it could be but then again oda may do a plot twist at the story in one piece.
@@gabrieleskala313 That wont be a plot twist. If he is gonna be the strongest swordsman obviously he is gonna have black blades and since Wado stuck so long with him and is important. It's extremely obvious it will become a black blade. no plot twist here.
Probably my all time favorite attack of one piece so far.
Kaido saying they could have taken over the world together after this made this scene better. Really shows how far the characters have come.
I think this might be the only external damage that Kaido experienced the entire fight. Even later vs Luffy those attacks were more internal bypassing his near invulnerable skin. Makes Zoro even more badass that he could just use brute force to actually damage Kaido instead of a get around
This is absolutely one if the top 5 most badass moments in one piece
Zoro goes beast mode again on Kaido once again.
Zoro has risen so much, he just can't fail anymore.
He did fail to get Kaido to fall over. Lol
I like how Zoro's aura lights up the area making him look like a god is a really good detail
0:55 Zoro knows Spinjitzu
Kaido: only oden has given me a fatal scar before
Zoro: is that right allow me to change that
My Wano's most waited moment! We all know Zoro would face Kaido in Wano and Ashura would be his last attack.
Yeah me to, but honestly I’m still looking forward to sun god Luffy, more, i have to know if they use overtaken.
@@joshshrum2764 they got to bro! they have to be The Drums
@@joshshrum2764 yeah i was waiting to see zoro moment in anime form but i wanna see law awakening and luffy awakening even more
What a fight, though it was short it displayed all zoro's potential, I've watched it thousands of times and i can't get tired of it, Oda you're a genius
I almost forgot how badass Zoro’s VA’s voice is.
it goes to show how fast these guys'attacks are, the rocks are still ascending in slow motion while they attack in a much quicker pace
When you realize that Mihawk is most likely still stronger than Zoro.
Zoro vs Mihawk is going to be greatest rematch in history.
Mihawk would cut kaido in half kaido would have to dodge every mihawk attack.
This attack would be equivalent to Mihawk doing a serious slash . Zoro is getting close but he ain’t on dat level jus yet
@@ottolotto7057 equivalent to a basic named attack to mihawk xd, zoro is not even close to mihawk
@@Snuggs845 Mihawk gets smoked by any yonko or admiral...I think even Marco man handles Mihawk.
@@Snuggs845 kaido is not even using conquers coating right now so he should be good
That blood spilling after the music stops for a second, thats so like Bleach. I freaking love how far he has come.
This is the swordsman who'll become the king of hell
SUCH A HYPE MOMENT! If I wasn’t a zoro fan before this I DEFINITELY AM NOW. SEEING HIM CLASH WITH KAIDO AND WIN WAS INSANE!
YOO SLYKAGE!
