This flashback did not tell readers anything new about the character. The details on his birthplace and how he was sold to the Marine are interesting but don’t actually add much to his story. The sequence skims over what fans were expecting most, Kaido’s time in the Rocks Pirates and the God Valley incident. The character’s belief in the “survival of the fittest” and his desire to topple the World Government were already known, and because the flashback is so short (four pages) it cannot add any depth to his convictions (as a comparison, Kozuki Oden’s flashback with Gol D. Roger lasted for thirteen chapters and revealed a lot about the past of Wano and the whole world). Kaido comes out as an anarchist of sorts who believes strength should dictate social status but the reasons for this are not explored, besides the overused “hates the Celestial Dragons” clichè.
Most likely, the reason why this flashback was so short is that One Piece is moving towards a tight schedule. Oda announced that One Piece will end in a few years (which, for a comic that has been going on for 25 years, is a short amount of time), and the story has to proceed towards its conclusion, while at the same time tying up an impressive amount of narrative threads. Also, because Kaido has been such a prominent character over the past four years (that’s how long the Wano Arc has been), there was not a huge need to give him more “screen time”, as was the case for other villains. Regardless, fans of One Piece who were craving to know more about Kaido’s past are likely to be left disappointed by his much-awaited flashback.
Look for the latest chapter of One Piece when it is officially released in English on Viz’s Website.
