User blog comment:Fliu/How will Kaido meet his end?/@comment-24850639-20160502201344

I'm not sold on Kaido dying yet, and honestly I'm starting to see him as just as likely an eventual ally as Big Mom at the moment. Sure they have their reasons to fight now, but my main plot armor for him right now is this war. I think either during their fight or after, he's going to realize that Luffy is the key to him beginning this world war he wants so bad, and not Devil Fruits and Underworld brokering. If not helping him with this war, then at least an "equal" that makes him happy to be alive. I think he may have had that in Whitebeard potentially. Speaking of Whitebeard, part of his last words were, "when someone finds that treasure (and they WILL find it), the world will be turned upside down". With all those centuries of history on his back, said person is going to "challenge the world to a fight". Sounds like a world war to me, and Kaido just seems too enthralling of a character to be dead when this all happens. I see him being alive to say something like "Damn that kid, he ACTUALLY did it", or something of the like.

But I'm with you, all methods stated so far for trying to kill him have been rather trivial, nothing of the supernatural variety, which is what most people are curious of.
