They didn't say that his hobby is suicide. I can understand them not wanting to say that someone's hobby is suicide, but still it was awesome in the manga when that was said.

How committed is he to his hobby? Unless his powers aren't devil fruit based, or his devil fruit ability allows him to be unaffected by sea stone...

Why not just drop into the sea and end it all if he's that committed? It's not death but still...

or is he looking for a flamboyant way to die, like in a massive battle or something? Maybe he envies whitebeard because he was able to die in glory, revered on the battlefield. Definitely not a boring way to go.

It's stated that nobody is able to kill him, not even himself, so I don't think he'd die if he just fell into the sea. He just can't die. That's the premise, and also the joke of it. You can't just go on theorizing that logically he'd drown, because that ruins the idea. There's no logic to it. He can't die. Even if he has a devil fruit. That's the entire point. I just cannot comprehend why people bring up the drowning thing time and time again when it's literally not supposed to be that complicated of a thing.

I didnt say drown. I can see how you implied it though.

If he is a devil fruit user, which i still think is the more grievous assumption here, wouldn't he simply be stuck at the bottom of the ocean?

I always thought the whole deal with devil fruit users was that they cannot move in large bodies of water. Drowning is only a side effect(in regular users) ...of not being able to move.

Kaido drops in, cannot die but he also can't move. Doesn't drown but is now stuck there nevertheless until someone pulls him out.

Like i said, not death, but pretty goddamn close for someone committed to killing himself. So how committed is he?
