This durability has given Kaido the reputation of being unable to die. He has been caught and tortured 18 times, and people as powerful as the Marines and other Yonko have attempted to execute him 40 times only to fail as Kaido survived every single attempt because every single execution weapon broke when being used on him.
Most notably, Kaido has jumped from 10,000 meters from the sky onto the ground, creating a massive shockwave strong enough to sink a large ship nearby, and emerged only with a headache; it has even become a hobby for him to attempt suicide, only for it to fail.
In this form, he is capable of moving through the air by creating clouds and using them as footholds. He can also release devastating blasts of fire from his mouth, which can instantly deal significant damage to, if not completely obliterate, a large area or structure.
Aside from fire, Kaido appears to be capable of releasing other elements such as blasts of lightning by roaring, and wind that becomes invisible air blade projectiles from his mouth, capable of easily slicing flesh and bone.
Kaido is extremely fast despite his massive size, as shown when he moves past Luffy in an instant while attacking him.
Kaido was able to defeat the “Fifth Emperor” with just a single blow.. how can Luffy defeat him right now?
In one of the interviews, Oda said that he doesn’t know how Luffy should win because Kaido is incredibily powerful: “When Kaido appeared for the first time, I said that Luffy can’t defeat such a strong character yet. And I’m yet to know how Luffy would defeat Kaido. Probably my audience will not be satisfied if the reason for defeating Kaido is just because Luffy’s punch is so strong. Luffy and I have to find a solution somehow.”
