[Discussion] could Kaido's name be a huge misconception?

[Punk Hazard]

True, also his epithet already "Kaido of the beast"

Maybe OP is onto something. I'm not saying it's Kai D. Ou, but it makes sense for Kaidou of the Beasts to equal Sea Ruler of the Beasts. Oda could have intentionally combined Kai and Ou into Kaidou for this allusion.

It also fits in with the fact that Kaidou is a Yonko, which means Four Emperors, and an emperor is a ruler.
