Considering the fact that Nami still has Zeus and Mother Caramel's Sun died when she did I think it's safe to say Big Mom is not dead

My pet theory has been that Big Mom survived, with Kaido being on the verge of dying. First I was thinking that she might infuse his soul into the lava and attack Elbaf with her strongest homie ever. After the Pluton reveal my theory changed to her infusing this ancient weapon with his soul and attacking Elbaf with it, calling it Ragnarök. All in accordance with the giants viking theme, and finally giving us that Big Mom vs Luffy fight we never got. This video really made me reconsider that though, very convincing!

I also think it's possible if Kaido returns he'll fight alongside Joyboy in the final war against the World Government since him and King have been waiting for Luffy their entire lives and Kaido figured out Luffy was Joyboy the moment Luffy defeated him and when he was falling into the Earth's magma core because he was thinking of that moment he told King Joyboy would be the man to defeat him someday.

This is super interesting, Dak! Seeing this end-product of your stream's comments on the subject really ties things together well from last week and other earlier discussions. The 1111 reaction vod was painful but it must have been much more frustrating live. A great video comes out of those trials so I hope you're not discouraged too much by the tech problems! Been enjoying your stuff since your first few videos, and you and people like you are much appreciated for making stuff to mull over like this. You guys are going to be instrumental in a lot of OP addicts making it through yet another span of weeks with no chapter coming. Thanks!

Yo Daks you cooked with this one. Bb pirates vs Kaido would be insane. Kaido being a sapphire like dragon because of his awakening and his fruit allowing him to swim. Also if its sapphire it might buff your power is a brilliant idea, Luffy and him being a sun god in different ways is fantastic. I would like to add if this happens and Bb take out Kaido I would like to see Yamato have a moment with Kaido, it would be very emotional. Im very inetrested in the idea of Yamato getting scabbards similar to Oden. Having some of Kaidos crew being a scabbard to Yamato would be a nice touch aswell.

It’s becoming more and more obvious to me that Blackbeard is the final villain! Zehahaha!🏴‍☠️

All I'm really hoping for is that kaido survived as a fish fish man and he is sitting in the skull underwater being extra depressed

ready to start another banger from the mind of Dak’s Sake

Love your theories! Honestly still new to OP buy love checking out your channel for future predictions.

Really cool stuff!

Wow so many things i learned from this video Kaido info was great!

Awwwwwww yeaaa Dak dropped 😎

very underrated channel, extremely interesting theories!

Nice vid

ur cooking man

the "first" comment was Nine Hours Ago

Kaido coming back for Momo training arc. But seriously, I kind of hope Kaido stays dead. I like the fact he got his dream.

One idea for where Kaidos devil fruit ends up could be with Koby. How? X Drake is still missing and could be alive on Wano Why? Drake knows the force of the fruit and how it would benefit sword. He’s already been shown to be close with Koby-they also both grew up as pirates that weren’t interested in the pirate life style before joining the marines. Then start adding in the connection between Luffy and Koby. Started their journey together and both had Garp as mentors. Would be fitting for them to fight Blackbeard together and for Koby to have his DF powered by the sun since he found his inner power through the metaphorical sun, Luffy

This editing is fire omg 🔥 THE AGE OF SAKE IS HERE also w agenda 😈

2:14 theres soooo much I have to say about MY MOM returning, theres sooooo much of her character arc missing AND she has a daughter, Smoothie who needs a purpose- what better purpose than to squeeze lava out of BIG MOM !

There is now a little part of me that wants to see a reveal of where Kaido and Big Mom came out of the lava, with their foot prints and Kaido leaving black spikes of rock from where he blew his nose to clear the lava when he got to shore... I will say Gloriosa and Stussy can provide everything Kaido and Big Mom could about Rocks, and we do know Stussy was headed to Egghead with Marco last we saw of them long before the transmission went out. I doubt Big Mom is dead if Zeus is still around, Elbaf would be interesting to tie in too good point. Kaido I don't know. Storywise he could provide all sorts of things, but Luffy could have given him the rest he wanted as well.

I'm late but I think if Kaido or Big Mom come back it's going to be through turning the magma into a homie.

Dak you cooked here sir 🔥🔥 I’m now on board with the significance of fish fish fruit thank you for this 💯

Dak' sake Could you link up with another One piece youtuber called Middle way. He's really underrated and make very interesting theories love your videos.

man thatd be dope if kaido and momo team up and fight off bb and then kaido ends up training momo and showing him how to fully utilize his df

"I don't think Oda would do that without saying".. Have you forgotten that Oda literally said he FORGOT to reveal Kaido's and Kid's DF's names in the manga? That's why we never got a text box for them. There are two things that people need to keep in mind and keep separate, what goes on IN THE STORY vs THE REAL WORLD Following EVERYTHING we've learned from the story, Kaido is 100% already awakened: 1) Kaido is a ZOAN first and foremost. Being a mythical just means he has "paramecia abilities" such as shooting fire. He fits the literal definition of a zoan awakening given by Crocodile in Impel Down ages ago: stronger, tougher, recovers fast, etc. 2) "Show, don't tell". In Egghead we learned by VISUAL CUES that an awakened zoan has the hagoromo (the haki cloud) thanks to Lucci's text box. However in the same chapter we saw Kaku's awakening WITHOUT the text box. Show, don't tell. The power of HINDSIGHT. In Onigashima we saw Hybrid Yamato with the same hagoromo when fighting against Kaido. It's clear that in the real world Oda hadn't fully decided that "hagoromo = zoan awakening" yet but the clues have been there since GREAR 4's reveal in Dressrosa, and we now know the gomu gomu is actually a zoan. 3) The Design. Kaido's design physically changed. Someone made a great comparison side by side at the subtle design changes such as the sharper teeth by Kaido and Lucci got during awakening. You can see for yourself at Kaido's brow design even got the swirl resembling the hagoromo. You can see for yourself at @12:12 and @13:04 Every other time his teeth are flat and no brows. Such details are extremely important, they're as subtle as Sanji's brows swirling to the other side when his Germa genes activate. 4) The narrative. Think about this for a second. In what world would a COMMON CAT like Lucci be awakened and Kaido isn't? Kaido is much older, much more experienced and has been a pirate for decades. Plus he name dropped awakening to Luffy. Kaido. IS. AWAKENED. Lastly, the df being called "Fish Fish" is irrelevant, it's the MODEL that determines the creature. Does Lucci look like a persian cat to you? No, he's MODEL LEOPARD. Does Kaku look like a cow to you? No, he's MODEL GIRAFFE. Does Jbra look like a chihuahua to you? No, he's a MODEL WOLF. Kaido never was and never will be a "fish". He's MODEL SEIRYU.

Thats a wild thumbnail 😂

taking a look at the shot of where the poneglyph is located, and the shot of where big mom and kaido fell down to the magma, it would seem as tho that red arrow at 5:40 is just pointing straight at pluton

Oh man Kaido fruit in a ship. That would be dangerous. Can attack from the sea air and land. Deadly blast breath and tougher than dollar store steak.

Seems like he would most likely awaken if he swam up a waterfall, or after another analogously impossible task. Maybe Kaido has to waken his fruit to be able to counteract the water weakening him. Maybe the requirement is to be a capable protector for Wano (a gargantuan task for Kaido imo) , like the role of the the myththilogical figure, and he therefore comes out of the water somehow awakened and, after heavy reflection of his past oppression, now be a true hero for Wano. It seems unlikely to me that mono could awaken the power in the timeframe of the series imo, so this feels plausible to me

I've been rereading the manga as of late, and in chapter 967, there's one panel that I've been really curious about, and it's really similar to the sake cups with Sabo, but I haven't seen anyone cover it specifically, so I was wondering if you had anything to say about it. Its on the last page of the chapter, and you can see Roger holding something, maybe a piece of paper or something, after he says ge wished he was born into Joyboys era. I know this might seem a bit far fetched but could you check it out?

I think one thing Dak's Sake forgot is that Dragons bring thunderclounds, which is why when Momo became an adult the clouds were worse stopping Sulong. I think it might be the opposite where the Azure dragon gets strength when not in sunlight

17:55 Oh my god yes, I've wanted to see a ship with a devil fruit for so long.

banger theory

Kaido and Big meme will become Blackbeard’s puppet shadows

There have been theories that Nami has the ability to control Uranus and might be able to use it against the Blackbeard pirates

Ah yes, after 4 years of a dragon antagonist I need another one!

The people of Wano in the Wano arc did say that Kaido was a protector of Wano It would be funny to see him technically being one.

Top tier theory. Only thing i would add is I could see blackbeard using the “zombie kaido” as a counter to the goresei or large scale foes like Ancient robot, Zunisha, or the giants.

16:30 blackbeard opening up wano would be legendary

Void month is HEATING UP!

Cooking heat with this one. Mans got the wok on 15,0000 btu

Someone cooked here 🔥

It would be cool if he could breathe like icy fire that freezes you on the spot like Brooks attack just stronger

I’d love to see it

That would be 🔥 📛 Blackbeard vs Kaido Dark Dark Quake Quake and Kuzan vs Kaido

Ever since G4 Luffy has unlocked flight, something that Teach depended on Doc Q vs Law. His next DF must allow for air movement. While Kaido's fruit and even Marco's as many had speculated that it would be salvaged after Payback War were nice picks, they don't compliment his colour theme( both blue) .alternative picks are Dragon Storm Bird or Quetzcoalt but the issue is the theme ( green) . A zoan with Black theme can be the case with Imu and potentially the man scarred by flames . Cant recall a mythical flyingn creature causing fisures unfortunately.

Imma be honest there is a huge flaw with this theory. We just spent 3 real life years fighting a dragon. I don't think Oda wants to spend more time with an extra strong dragon. But besides that i'm pretty sure the trigger for awakenings is aligning yourself with the dream that created the fruit. Luffy awakened in a moment of great stress where all he wanted was to free Wano, Yamato awakened as she became the guardian angel of Wano. If the trigger was being strong and dying I don't think that would be interesting.

This all makes so much sense. When you tie in the fact that the government was trying to replicate fruits with Caesar or use one fruit for many with Bonnie.. 👀 that dragon army theory really does raise some eye brows. Makes you wonder why they called themselves “Celestial Dragons” to begin with.

Great video, Kaido vs Blackbeard would be so crazy and unexpected. I've always wondered why The Celestial Dragons call themselves that. Hey i have a theory that by the end of the story Devil Fruit users will finally be free and be able to swim again, what do you think about this theory?

Well if kaido's fruit is eaten by bb's ship..then a legendary sunny vs saber of zebec would happen...like both could blast from their mouth ...both could fly ( at least partially sunny could be considered flying)

You should do a vid on Namis bb pirate matchup

Hey, I hope you see this comment, but essentially, where pluton (the ship) is located is near where a Geological Pluton can form. Geological plutons form near magma chambers

Speaking of devil fruits I hope we get some light shined upon Page 1 and Ulti and their pirate dad in the cover story as I would love to see that backstory get expanded upon.

As you said, Saphires come in many colors, including pink. A little known fact is that rubies are made of corundum, the same material saphires are made of. Rubies are technically just pink saphires. All this to say, i dont think there will be a problem with Momonoske awakening.

Garp in kaido’s body would be sick

Well kaido did always want to die so maybe he tried going into a volcano already and it didn't work

also to parallel big mom saving kaido from drowning , it might happen again to both of them but idk in what way

I could see kaido helping indirectly luffy win a difficult fight. You gotta remember he said joy boy would be the one who beats him so if that's true he knows about joy boy. He would respect the fact he was beaten and acknowledge him as joyboy

BEST THEORY IVE SEEN ALL YEAR

what if you needed the clouds to bring pluton to the water surface like kaido was moving onigashima? but the world governed shouldn't worry if they don't know about pluton. Also, there's shiki.

I knew from second 1 big mom wasn't dead just because zeus is still around

thats a good theory.

I think pluton is a giant fighter with large sword like that Onigashima skull

I think soon too 3 fruits like that perfect trio

I think black beard will find the mythical zoan model cerberus

The power of kaido is his haki , I still don’t know how bb could do anything on him if they have a fight .

21:04 Kaido’s zombie would be pretty weak compared to when he was alive. In Thriller Bark, we did see that corpses were extremely weaker than when they were alive so i don’t see the point of doing that. Besides, doing that would be a really bad idea since it would only obey Moriah and not Blackbeard directly (if Garp’s shadow actually lets himself controled of course. We don’t know if the Shadow fruit can take any shadow since when Moriah took Luffy’s shadow, he didn’t know haki yet)

Hows the three week break treating you?

bro is cooking way too hard

So its a Kryptonian Kaido

They never mention Yamato awakening her devil fruit, but she has those cloud things around her.

I think that even tho Vega punk says momos devil fruit was a failure his will become the perfected one and manifest the true form and power of the fruit but will be shown through hints in the cover story maybe maybe the last parts to far

Editing app ?

Blackbeard already had plan for Wano? Don't remember reading that anywhere

The azure in azure dragon is just a translation artifact. What i'm really curious is whether we'll get vermillion bird, black turtle and white tiger fruits

Hoping for Kaido and Big Mom return. Also love the idea that Kaido’s fruit can come back and be more important. It would be cool to see how it is able to operate in the ocean.

i feel like doflamingo knows and hints at death brings about awakening

Your theory managed to add depth to Kaido that was missing in Wano, and makes me like him! Earlier I was just neutral about him. Even if the theory doesn't pan out, you've retroactively improved Wano for me

The volcano erupted after Kaido was smashed down into the lava. It's possible he and big meme were shot out far away from Wano.

If the walls are torn down by Blackbeard freeing Kaido and Pluton, then maybe we'd get to see Kaido and Pluton AWAKEN at the same time. vid as usual Dak! btw was that "Hidden" Celestial Dragon pic from the void century lol

I cant see someone else getting kaidos fruit, we've seen everything it could do.

Can you talk about the relevance of big moms fruit awakening?

Kaido will probably get blasted in the face by Pluton might be how he loses, we know it's a island buster

I know this is out of topic but hear me out. I feel like the weapon Uranus was foreshadowed during whole cake.When sanji was arriving at whole cake there was rhis one dude who told about germa story in the past. In that comic strip they said that the germa's army was fighting Sora warrior of the sky. And since Uranus is something related to the i figured that Sora created Uranus and since germa was obsessed with technology it makes sense for them go after it. The only reason i think Sora lost was because he was not cut out to battleor was very old. Who knows. Also i think that the weapon Uranus will be found on Elbaf since Uranus wast the husband of gai who fathered the first generation of titans Aka in one one piece "giants". Correct me if wrong Plesde make this popular I want people to see this

i mean this situation would to suitable to introduce shiki to free big mom and kaido to make them join him as we know shiki is alive somewhere

Question - the fact kaido was waiting for JOYBOY, was it just to fight or join? Yes luffy is joyboy but did kaido realise?!

Given that he breathed fire he's probably just immune to fire and lava.

low-key kaidos zoan kinda looks like the gorosies forms, his fruit could have been used by a past member

I believe the dragons were the creatures to carry Uranus in the sky. Sea kings pull the Noah. Zunesha probably with pluton. Hence why they need a dragon. If all the dragons were killed it would make sense the next option be the devil fruit

Teach getting kaidos devil fruit would be crazy, the dragon of darkness

If black beard takes kaidos fruit, then I would assume the Yami Yami no me previous user was also one of the rocks pirates or even rocks himself. ❤❤

Kaidou wakes up and just takes over Wano again would be so stupid yet hilarious. I guess he would have to face some equal opposition for it to make sense narratively.

He never really showed us what happened to Kuro, we got one very brief scene in the anime but that's it.

Yo what If Blackbeard also wants the Devil fruit cus of the abillity to not drown. That would make him a monster without basically any weaknesses. Negating devil fruits, being able to swim under water with the only weakness absorbing extra pain

I’ve theorized that Blackbeard will eat Kaido’s fruit for a white, so I’m still hopeful it might happen

I’ve always assumed kaidos super drunk purple form is his awakening. He was talking about your body catching up with your powers. His body is so crazy he has to be hammered for that to happen. Thoughts ⁉️

PLUTON IS A MOLE! YA DIG?

24:00-25:00 blew my mind

It’s “Germa Double Six”
