It clears up everything if u take the words of marines literally. Shanks fought him according to marines and It was Shanks who reached MF but not Kaido which means that Shanks was the winner and Shanks was clearly unharmed.
Lol,What? Where did this came from? Has anyone stated that the news was fake? If the news was a fake then why didn't Kaido appeared at MF? Do u have any proof that suggests this point. or Are u just guessing this?
hmm
We have a manga panel that suggests otherwise so I have no reason to believe that his title includes humans.
I thought that you are one of those guys who thinks that Dragon is the current strongest character in OP but I guess i was wrong.
You still don't understand the difference between the two statements.
One is a vague statement, without actual proof, made by one person. It's speculation. Basically, the truth behind the statement isn't well established, nor is it well supported. For one, an Admiral level fight took ten days. Rookie Ace lasted in a fight for five days. Clearly, a Yonko level fight will take longer than a single day. Secondly, Shanks showed up uninjured, if he fought a Yonko seriously, he'd have quite a bit of injuries. The signs point that Shanks and Kaido didn't actually fight, and if they did, it may have been a minor clash like what happened with his visit to Whitebeard.
An epithet on the other hand, isn't like this statement whatsoever. An epithet is based on several events that have happened over time, and say something about the person in them. Kaido didn't just randomly get the name, nor is it speculation, people gave him the name because he proved he can have it. That statement by the Marine compared to Kaido's epithet is like comparing the statement ¨Bob and his wife argued, he may have hit her¨ and ¨Bob works in politics.¨ One is based on multiple observations and facts, and one is speculation without real proof.
There is no manga panel that suggests that Kaido's epithet doesn't include human beings. Nami's statement could just as easily be interpreted as ¨His title distinguishes him from humans¨ as ¨His title excludes humans.¨ No statements or events in the manga support either one, so for now, we're down to the what creatures mean, and its meaning includes humans, so for now, the statement includes humans until there is something that irrefutably shows otherwise.
