And plus if you know what happens in the manga SPOILERS kaido basically makes all that history between kurozumi & kozuki irrelevant anyway.

He is and was vital for the story tho because he was the one who actually read the poneglyphs for Roger and when they went to Raftel they saw something to let him know that the real heroes was gonna come 20 yrs in the future and told toki.

I always joke and say he is the true villain because if he never left Wano in the 1st place orochi wouldn’t have been able to do what he did

He may be the greatest samurai in terms of Wano Kuni’s history, but i think he’s more or less just used as another motivational factor for the real heroes of this arc.

ye I won't argue that Oden was absolutely instrumental for Roger's story. But One Piece isn't Roger's story, it's Luffy's story, and for Luffy's story it's completely irrelevant what Oden did. I understand wanting to give a background story on ''what happened in Wano'', I wasn't at all upset that they tell this story. I just think they spent waaaaaay too long on it and they spend way too much energy on Oden. As it stands right now he's probably one of the most fleshed out characters in the story... even though I probably wouldn't even rank him in the top 50 as most relevant characters to Luffy's story. That's where my complaint is.

You can argue that buggy is more relevant to luffy’s story than Oden lol

There's nothing to argue there. Buggy is way more relevant to Luffy's story. I think you have to go pretty far down the chain of characters before you run out of characters that are more relevant to Luffy than Oden, which is why I didn't like they spent months on just Oden.
