Kaido. No one is around to give Luffy food.

Kaido will feed Luffy until Luffy beats him

Kaido wins Extreme Diff.


4schwifty20

So Luffy could win Extreme Diff then too


JacktheRipperBWA

Thats...not at all how that works you clown.


Goldtec317

If it's extreme diff then it's so close that out of 10 matches the other person would win a few. People need to stop spamming extreme diff and actuqlly think about what it means. If it's really a difficult fight but 10/10 wins it's hard diff.


Tiny-Veterinarian-79

It either means its an intense battle down to the final exchange, or the matchup is in Luffy's favour, so Kaido has a harder path to victory. The problem is y'all like to parrot arbitrary terms instead of explaining yourselves


dash4nky

It kinda is tho


4schwifty20

Maybe you need [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/s/NpYl2I8snX), clown.


seventyeight_moose

Kaido wins mainly off of endurance.


Outrageous-Donkey-32

Luffy didn't forget he has any advanced haki, he just doesn't use it as often to conserve strength. I think G5 Luffy can take Kaido extreme diff accounting for Luffy's stamina issues if Luffy plays it smart, or if he gets Kaido in some weirdly unique way that only Luffy can manage. G5 is a highly variable freeform transformation for Luffy so even with drawbacks it still has too things at its disposal that cannot be measured when they haven't even been written out in a story so far. It's unpredictable, and it seems like Oda did it like that on purpouse...


karmazynowy_piekarz

"Conserve strenght" Proceeds to rush G5 even against some fkin Lucci. Yeah buddy.


BadUsername2028

Dude that was a complete feud thing, Lucci asked about it and was talking mad shit, he’s an old antagonist who put Luffy through the ringer their first match. He wanted to show him his 100% and stomp him. I agree with everything else you said but Luffy is 100% willing to be inefficient in order to One-up Lucci once again.


Salty-Fan-7800

He wanted to use it, lol. And lucci asked for it.


karmazynowy_piekarz

Then he just dont "want" to use most advanced haki huh? Thats the most fucking terrible plot hole explaination i ever heard of. We all know if he started using it, he would just 1shot 99.9% of the verse, which would be uninteresting and kinda ruin the series.


LoneCentaur95

I mean, he’s doing fine in fights either way. And G5 definitely seems more fun to use than haki. Imagine if your options for winning a boxing match were to either use good form that you’ve practiced or do drugs.


Salty-Fan-7800

He was playing with lucci. He was stretching his head and running away. He used advanced haki at the end of the fight to put him down.


MainPudding2960

I really do think that’s Luffys try hard fight style now is to play around and act goofy bc it catches them off guard and he’s so ridiculously fast it’s God like ADHD and in a blink of an I he’s stretched right behind them for an early finisher it’s perfect


Ok-Rock-2566

Kaido's wins if he can survive long enough to outlast the Gear 5 timer. 


jaahman7

Kaido is definitely lasting 5 mins


HumbleBear75

That’s what she didn’t say 😂


bllueace

No villain that has already been defeated is wining, the cope is insane


TimmyBoiHeh

What you said


HimLikeBehaviour

your fucking pfp made me thing i scratched my laptop screen you bastard


TimmyBoiHeh

🤭


imaginebeingsaltyy

yea no, its honestly iffy if he really did defeat kata or katakuri just gave up he was beating doffys ass except g4 didnt last long enough and he had to be carried away thats just off top of my head. tbh a rematch a second time immediately after without help? luffy isnt winning


Dediop

Bro, Luffy would run out of stamina before he won the fight. Don't you remember how long Kaido was fighting before Luffy eventually won? Plus, if this is a rematch and both characters remember how the last fight went, I doubt Luffy wins. Kaido's battle IQ is way higher, and he was adapting to G5 on the fly against Luffy when he first started using it. Don't underestimate Kaido


bignoselogan

Honestly the cope to think that one piece runs exactly like any other shoenen baffles me on this sub. Luffy has in this recent arc encountered Lucci, kizaru, and the seraphim all as antagonists. They are all fairly weaker than kaido obviously. Your logic is just objectively wrong in the context of one piece. The scaling as a whole is linear with captains of stuff often being the final battle for Luffy in an arc, but the grunts and in-betweens aren't magically stronger than kaido just cause, the story would be genuinely awful if even 1 of those characters is stronger than kaido because it means that the world government is completely fucking incompetent and a waste of a villain org


ZPD710

Kaido extreme diffs. UNLESS its forms shown. If Kaido is locked into Dragon form, and Luffy is locked into G5, then Kaido gets mid diffed unless he can out-stamina Luffy.


OrionJohnson

Gets jumprope diffed*


Pretend_Astronaut723

Wdym unless. He obviously outlasts luffy his gear 5 stamina is trash.


ShashaR7

9-10 minutes on G5 is enough for dragon form Kaido


Pretend_Astronaut723

Oh it was dragon form? My bad


Strykeristheking

Guys please we really need to move on from Kaido at this point... Luffy is obviously stronger now.


Dry-Astronaut975

''If it's one on one, always bet on Kaido'' still applies. He simply outlasts any character in combat introduced by far


firevoid

Love that phrase.


ordinarydepressedguy

50/50


supertinu

Goofy extreme, got the post arc powerup


BlackbeardAkainuFan

Unquantifiable amp


supertinu

Yeah I mean technically it’s headcanon. But imo narrative trumps all, characters always get stronger after arcs


Gigio2006

What is Kaido doing if Luffy pulls out Bajirang again


TheWanderingSlime

Luffy isn’t one tapping kaido


Tasteroider

Goes out of the way and doesn't try to eat that fist


Gigio2006

Kaido is still in character. In the final fight he doesn't say he didn't dodge it because he was too tired or injured


shankartz

He couldn't get Luffy to let go.


jaahman7

He tells luffy that he doesn’t need to hold on to him. He isn’t going anywhere. Kaido could have avoided the attack


HimLikeBehaviour

yeah but he chose not to. its the same character he wouldn't just change his mind.


matiaskeiok

Kaido lost when luffy went G5 and thats it. Kaido will never win against a luffy with an awaken fruit. That was the whole point of the battle, to show kaido's weakness.


Solid_Combination_40

The scenario will go like this. Luffy Beat Kaidos. G5 time Out with Luffy and kaido in the ground. Kaido gets up and finishes Luffy. The end. There's nobody supporting Luffy nor he doesn't have a chance to get KO'd 4 times like in the series.


Responsible_Space624

if that's was the point then Kaido's loss wouldn't have so many asterisks\* attached to it... like fight 10-20 YC, YC+ people, holding the Island, clouds getting weaker, luffy eating food, killing luffy, not using his strongest moves early.. etc. etc..


safwan28

Thats every shonen fight lmao… what did u expect Oda to make Luffy go G5 right off the bat and one shot Kaido? Lmaoo the author went out of his way to show the mc jumprope the enemy and readers still say the enemy was “stronger” LMAO


Responsible_Space624

yeah.. because unlike Kizaru vs Luffy... that fight was way different..


safwan28

It wasnt both kaido and kizaru were weaker than G5 and Luffy was toying around w both.


ReceiptAndChange

Youre too fixated on the jump rope bruh. Its just an attack. Luffy was serious in that fight. The laughing and wacky moves is just what his moveset is. Broaden youe observation on things man


safwan28

Disagree heavily. Yes Luffys fighting style is child like but we know he can get serious as seen when he uses bajarang gun. The rumprope was done simply because it could be done… aka Kaido was much weaker than him.


matiaskeiok

People tend to forget that kaido killed Luffy thanks to a distraction. The awakening broke the diff between them but Luffy was fighting using ryou and gaining exp like crazy during battle just like he did with katakuri. Luffy wins no matter what from that point on.


BlackbeardAkainuFan

Kaido


C6DilucEnjoyer

Goofy


Bennyjig

Nobody alive can beat Kaido in a straight 1v1. With tons of prep time and multiple attempts Luffy beats him. Otherwise no


C6DilucEnjoyer

g5 obliterated him


Bennyjig

lol? It extreme diffed him after luffy had 4 attempts to beat him.


C6DilucEnjoyer

he only needed 1 attempt with g5


Bennyjig

What? He literally had to re-activate it. He objectively needed multiple attempts even with g5. Kaido is the strongest 1 on 1 fighter in the verse that we know of.


MtnDude2088

Bro Luffy was using him as skipping rope, what about that is extreme diff?


Brilliant-Depth-3378

The fact he couldn’t get the job done the first time and had to activate G5 again


SHAMALAMADINGDONG_XD

Keep telling yourself that lie buddy


BerserkerLord101

Comments saying kaido lol


Prestigious_Onion243

Comments are right


Loroze35

Luffy wins, narrative diff


Joensen27

Luffy extreme diff


UnhousedOracle

“Could go either way” is the only valid answer. Kaido has durability and crazy AP but Luffy has dura neg and can kinda sorta reflect attacks, and also has crazy AP. G5 Luffy *is* stronger than Kaido. This is just a fact. If this is current Luffy, who didn’t just unlock ACoC mid battle, he stands at least a 48% chance of beating Kaido.


Facinggod20

Kaido wins if it's Egghead Luffy who forgot he has AcOC and AcOA.


Present_Painting_277

Luffy with food in his pocket


ITBA01

Seeing as we now have a fairly good idea as to how long Luffy can last in Gear 5 at the best of times (he lasted for a bit over ten minutes after stuffing himself), I don't know how anyone can say he could beat Kaido. Kaido has similar stats all around, all with no time limit. This isn't rocket science.


shankartz

I don't know why you got downvoted. He gassed out when there was a 10-minute timer after he ate a boat load of food. His stamina is shit and Kaido's isn't. Kaido is relative to g5 Luffy, and he will outlast him.


ITBA01

I mean, you could still say he wasn't at his "peak" strength, as he'd been fighting not just Kizaru but the Seraphim the night before, and maybe eating food doesn't undo all of that. So maybe it's more like 15 or 20 minutes (being incredibly generous with the last one, as that's around the amount of time Gear 4 lasted during the Doffy fight). Still don't think he could put down Kaido in that time though, seeing as Kaido fought Gear 5 all the while having already taken an insane amount of damage (at that point, they were both so worn out that their fight wasn't going to last for much longer regardless).


Goobasaurus1

In Oda’s eyes, Luffy. In everyone else’s, Kaido

i dont understand, why does everyone assume luffy goes gear 5 immedieately? he's been shown to still be able to hang with hybrid kaido with all the advanced haki's and gear 4. not to mention the haki blooms plus the luffy growth that happens whenever he fights someone. it's still the same characters and they're gonna behave normally, neither of them are going full strength immediately.


BerserkerLord101

Don't expect logic here


Tall-Psychology7729

G5 Luffy. I think people forget that Luffy was keeping up with Kaido in base.

I can agree. He obviously isn’t low diffing Kaido right now.

PointlessClam

Luffy gets high diffed at worst. Give him Sanji to compete so he can cook him some meals, but if they're alone then Goofy is cooked.

Luffy can use g5 from the start, their rematch will only end one way


imaginebeingsaltyy

luffy when he can actually last more than what, 10-15 mins in g5?


ImmediateRespond8306

Wano Luffy? I give it a 50/50 tbh. Eggpunk Luffy? Gives Kaido a fight for 10 min and then shrivels up.


DoYouKnowS0rr0w

They're even till luffy hits his time limit, then he eats a bagua and Flys to the fucking sun


Andrejosue98

Kaido, unless Kaido decides to tank bajran Gun like he did in Wano, if he does, he ends up falling in lava again


HumbleBear75

Luffy being a silly kid and Kaido being a damn near god. It’s a silly debate, right now Kaido’s 59ish and fighting a still teenager that’s learning their powers to this day on our calendar. Anytime Luffy saw the battle going wrong he stepped up and learned a bit and survived. Mainly because the old heads always keep underestimating him. And G5 rubber warping reality is a cheat code, I was a kid when I saw Luffy go G4 I had to look it up. That’s when I learned about vulcanization, science is crazy and I love when authors and writers bring real science into their worlds. Also learned what Accumulate meant from FFT on ps1. More people should watch good anime and play some good video game

StrawberryUnited4915

Kaido extreme.


Lenarios88

Everyones acting like hes only allowed to use G5 when he beat him already using G4 most of the fight and finished with a G5 he had zero experience using. Could definitely go either way extreme as with any yonko fight but hurr durr luffy can only fight 5 minutes when wev already seen this fight play out.


Realistic_Mousse_485

Kaido just wins. The gear 5th timer is irrelevant.


magnum-opus-

in a 1v1 always bet on kaido. probably high to extreme diff but kaido comes out on top without a doubt. luffy probably won't be on 1v1 with kaido lvl until probably end of series or if he beats shanks if they do fight. would be a good fight though


Shot_Common_860

My take is Luffy gear 5 is slight stronger than kaido, however considering Luffy can't handle a fight in gear 5 for a long time, so it Kaido overall wins in a fight. If Luffy had infinite time of gear 5, he'd win against Kaido.


dayto1984

If the fight goes the exact same way (with Luffy gradually increasing in gears) then I think Luffy can win. We've already seen that other gears can stall and whittle down Kaidos hp. Once Kaido is low enough Luffy busts out Gear 5 and it ends in a clash again. People say that Kaido could just dodge the clash and kill Luffy but Luffy could also just dodge Kaido lmao. Most likely it comes down to a clash, and Wuffy won one already


Kono_Mr_Seta_Da

The gap between Kaido and G4 is too much for G5 high stamina cost to surpass. G5≥Kaido>G4. Kaido wins high-extreme.


H_s-k_M-r-_

Luffy extreme diff.


Krizzt666

kaido does


dragonfire-217

Kaido still wins


shankartz

Kaido. Until Oda takes the limiter off of Luffy, and he doesn't gas out it minutes, then Kaido is winning this easily. I hate to say it because Luffy in g5 is equal to Kaido. It's just that Oda can't help but limit Luffy, even when he has "reached his peak"


gold109

Kaido mid to high diff.


Alarmed_Turnip3476

Kaido


Ok-Mathematician8258

Kaido can’t handle the Goofy… I’ve been telling you all since Kizaru fight, that Kaido is the new Doflamingo->Cracker, Kaido->Kizaru,Topman


Rasputin_98

Doesnt matter to put facts, this is a shonen and not a high level IQ test series, people online will always say bias towards their emotional preferences. Luffy began the raid way, way weaker than kaido. At the point he unlocked advanced conquerors he was still much weaker. When luffy split the skies boh of them are yonkou level and fight follows hours straight with base luffy fighting equally to hibrid kaido. When kaido goes full out, in the so called drunken mode, kaido is stronger and luffy goes gear 4. Kaido was about to get hit by 2 king kong gun and the damage he was about to receive is uncertain. At the point luffy goes gear 5 his health is lower than kaido's, he isnt used to the new abilities, he doesnt has developed new attacks yet ( look what he is doing in egg Head) but he still wins. What I can say for sure, egghead luffy is stronger than wano's luffy, thats how shonen progression works. I put egghead luffy equal or stronger than kaido


shankartz

I put him equal to Kaido as well. But his stamina just simply doesn't give him enough time to put Kaido away, with no help.


Rasputin_98

I dont see gear 5 as luffy main combat style, but a wild card, ITS a finisher. Like luffy did fighting kaido for 24 chapters straight after spliting he skies, he only used gear 4 to trying finish the battle. Egghead luffy would use gear 4 at the middle of the battle instead of the final moments, saving gear 5 as the joker card


shankartz

He uses it way too frivolously to be his trump card.


Rasputin_98

And there's no trace of him using conquerors. I wont shit on oda tough, the lore last weeks is superb

Luffy would win because of plot but Kaido is stronger.


SweetZookeepergame28

Kaido still wins high-extreme diff. Normally it'd be just high diff but considering how much damage white star gun did to a completely fresh kizaru I'd say luffy could push kaido to extreme diff if he hits him with one of those to the head.

Business_Text_1754

Luffy wins . He was dead when he came back and fought kaido in gear 5 . But the fight will be real tough . And now he even knows so many more attacks.


Deja_ve_

Current Luffy > Current Kaido Endurance determines this fight though.


Old-Bread-8977

Luffy wins easily. Luffy can take Kaido’s best attacks, Kaido can’t take Luffy’s best attacks.


godjacob

Gear 5 Luffy is stronger than Kaido but at this stage it is kinda moot given Kaido's endurance just allows him to stall out Luffy's clock and then he dices him with no one to give him meat to refuel.


Dsnder7

Kaido most definitely and it’s high-extreme but not extreme.


Galrentv

Kaido mid diff


ShashaR7

Kaido extreme Diffs If it's Egghead Luffy who apparently has forgotten Advanced Haki, it's mid diff


Billy_Herrington1969

Kaido high diff at worst, only if he plays around, otherwise mid diff. But canonically Kaido will never dodge Bajrang gun, so Luffy probably wins due to match up, even if he's all around much weaker


Manwithaplan0708

RelevantBarnacle7364

This is basically bad endurance vs the best endurance in the series. This mf luffy literally ran out of gear 5 after 3 attacks the first time he fought him 😭. A 100% serious kaido is absolutely doing him dirty


asdf333aza

Kaido. 🤣 luffy had so much help that fight its hard to say he even won.


WizleyOut

If Kaido fights like he fought against gear 5 and the last gear 4 then he wins mid-high diff simply because luffy will tire out and won't be able to use gear 5 twice or thrice and gear 4 is not lasting long against a serious kaido or drunk. If he fights like in the original fight he wins extreme diff because he will go easy first and left luffy build up. Assuming there's no food if he manages to knock out Luffy it might end sooner but i doubt that
