In the wake of the series’ previous issue, fans are highly anticipating One Piece chapter 1050. While no spoiler information for One Piece chapter 1050 is available as of this article, fans are still debating whether or not Kaido has been truly defeated.

The previous issue seemed to showcase Luffy delivering a knockout punch to Kaido, which would presumably open the door for a formal announcement of his victory in One Piece chapter 1050.

However, not everyone in the fandom seems to be sold on that point, with some fans seemingly trusting Oda to amend what they view as follies of the previous issue.

Follow along as this article breaks down the current heated discussion over One Piece chapter 1050.

One Piece Chapter 1050: The debate

Despite having no spoiler information available, One Piece chapter 1050 has been trending on Twitter worldwide since last weekend. Fans are incredibly anxious to see how the story will unfold, especially as it relates to Luffy's battle against Kaido.

Some fans seem underwhelmed by the fight thus far, believing it to be a big letdown for how it has been built up over the last few years. Others seem satisfied with the ending and are intent on almost berating those who still believe the fight isn’t over.

There is certainly good evidence for both sides, with neither one truly identifiable as right or wrong with the currently available information. However, that hasn’t stopped some fans from voicing their opinions online.

One Reddit post in particular has garnered massive traction, with the original poster going as far as to critique others' reading skills if they think the fight isn’t over. While many are discussing their desire to return to the post if the OP is wrong, others are genuinely explaining why they feel the fight hasn’t reached its conclusion yet.

Some commenters discuss how the series is known for subverting expectations just when proceedings seem most predictable. Others are pointing out how Kaido’s Awakening has likely been used this whole time, thus removing one avenue for the Yonko’s miraculous revival in the wake of the latest hit he suffered.

A major piece of evidence that suggests the fight is over is the lining up of certain dates regarding key moments in the series. A Twitter user reminded the fandom that chapter 1050 is set to be released exactly 10 years after the issue which saw Law and Luffy join up to take down Kaido. Many fans view this as an indubitable piece of evidence for Kaido being defeated.


In summation

Regardless of what ends up being confirmed or disproven in One Piece chapter 1050, it’s clear that the community is somewhat divided on what it wants from the upcoming events.

Fans will probably debate whatever the chapter holds for quite some time, as it seems to be quite a sore subject for many.

Assuming Luffy versus Kaido is indeed over, one of the major disappointments for many is the lack of a full backstory for the latter. While a very small dose of said backstory was shown in the previous issue, fans were expecting much more from a villain on Kaido’s scale.
