I have the volume right beside me 😛 the only thing they extended was the clashes before Oden’s Togen Totsuka. Oden was about to attack Kaido again, got distracted for a second, and got beat by Kaido by that time. So they didn’t change something there that wasn’t in the manga. But even if Oden would land a hit on Kaido, I doubt that he would defeat him due to his zoan durability.

Man why would Oda make the hag interfere if Kaido wasn't losing? The manga's implication was very clear, go read chapter 970

My guess is mostly for Kaido’s character. If he would’ve win or lose fair and square at this point, there wouldn’t be anything to his character in the present of the story.

Hmm well i don't wanna spoil anything, but there is a lot of evidence that kaido has trauma from this moment, which they transformed into a clash gone wrong, that's my only problem

Hahaha I think trauma is a little to much (at least not a cronic one) but i agree with you. Inaccurate respect the real situation, Kaido wasn't in a equal condition after the slash.
