One Piece Confirms Kaido & Big Mom's Fate, Shattering Major Fan Theory
Warning: contains spoilers for Road to Laugh Tale vol. 2!
A controversial One Piece fan theory has been shattered by the second volume of Road to Laugh Tale, a special that is being published in Weekly Shonen Jump while the hit manga by Eiichiro Oda is on a short hiatus. In one page, One Piece answers fan speculation about the fate of Kaido.
The Yonko are the four most powerful pirates in the world of One Piece, who rule over the second half of the Grand Line, called the New World. Luffy and the Straw Hats entered into a conflict with Big Mom first, and then with Kaido, which was resolved in a grand battle on Wano Island where the two Yonko were finally defeated. However, many fans were not satisfied with this conclusion. Both Kaido and Big Mom have been built up over the course of years as the most powerful villains in the series, so many readers expected them to actually come back for an even bigger showdown, despite the fact that they fell into an underground lava lake and were caught in a volcanic explosion.

It's a clear statement that the fall of Kaido and Big Mom has ushered in a new era, and there is no coming back.
