Is Kaido getting killed by Zoro ?
A group within the One Piece fandom is convinced of that and the rest of the fandom is opposed to the idea.
To support their theory, they often post those 4 now iconic pieces of ā€œevidenceā€
This small thread is my 2 cents on the subject
One thing is sure that they are right about a parallel between Zoro and Ryuma from Monsters, similar character design and in the Monsters one shot Shirano is the bootleg version of Mihawk. It’s evident that Zoro ā€˜s side of the story emulates a bit of Ryuma from Monsters
Zoro is related to the Shimotsuki, this surely has to play a role in killing Kaido ! Look ! Zoro befriended a descendant of Ryuma, they became friends and he got assassinated by Kaid-Hum Orochi https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ¤”" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face"> Why would Oda not give Zoro a motive to target Kaido specifically ? Why Orochi ? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ¤”" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face">
Oda systematically refused to give Zoro a specific personal grudge against Kaido (but has no problem doing so for Orochi) in fact the only time he mentioned fighting Kaido it’s as a group. While Luffy throughout the arc was focused on one target to defeat and it wasn’t Orochi
The most important piece of ā€œevidenceā€ they have about Zoro Killing Kaido is Enma !
The weapon hyped falsely as the only one to have cut Kaido. Neglecting Ame no Habakiri which also cut Kaido.
This argument made sense before Oden’s flashback.
Now it’s fake news
Kaido didn’t get cut because of the swords were special rather it was because of the swords wielder, the main man, the beast, the legend : Shimotsuki Oden himself
He dominated Kaido strength wise, overcame his scales and even made him sweat through his scales
The only way Zoro is Killing Kaido is if he’s now way stronger than Oden:
The man that made prime Whitebeard sweat buckets,
The man who didn’t get knocked out from a named attack from the strongest pirate ever.

Zoro’s current level has to be higher since Kaido’s stronger now
Zoro struggled catching his breath using Enma once meanwhile 10 yo Oden was casual using it. He passed out for several hours from a stabbing wound and was out of breath after fighting no names ninjas. I seriously doubt he’s as strong as Oden meaning he can’t kill Yonko Kaido
