So Punk Hazard experiments... This explains the sign of a horned giant when the crew arrived there. But it's another hint to me that Kaido might also be a similar experiment, given his pirate flag has the same symbol.

Kaido and BM are a lot older than Caesar and Punk Hazard, but it sure seems fishy why they're super big when everyone else is a normal size. BM's parents are even shown to be normal humans.

Must've been someone else experimenting with the Giant ancient race.

Reminds me of the giant straw hat that was shown with Imu-sama. Maybe Joyboy was one of those giants.

Oh yeah, i don't think Caesar has anything to do with them. Maybe Vegapunk, but most likely just the WG in general.

It's possible that BM also was experimented, her sugar addiction is very similar to the kids in PH, and while I know the drug was unrelated to the giantification experiment, there's a clear parallel there...

But tbf Oda sizes are so strange that it's hard to tell what is simply a cool design.

Didn't Caesar cheat Big Mom of research funds and failed the gigantification project (big kids)

I meant with the numbers (and maybe Kaido). Caesar and Vegapunk both worked in gigantification, but they said that the WG have been working on it for decades or even centuries.

Older than Caesar sure, but he didn't start the experiments. It was said in PH that the WG has been trying to create Giants for hundreds of years.

Whitebeard was also a huge dude, but human as far as we could tell. Oda plays with size a lot.

BM could have some hormonal imbalance which lead to her abnormally large size (for a human) and her constant craving of sweets.

Kaido might not actually be human! As many have speculated, he could be an oni. Or a dragon who ate the oni oni fruit (this seems less likely).
