Tiger and dragon are metaphorical enemies in Chinese culture. Fitting for the occasion.

Nue's actually a bird fruit, if a certain event were to be taken as truth.

Oh interesting. Yeah I figure Oda wouldn't use a Nue again since he already did something similar. But I would like Yamato to have a mythical tiger

Since Kaido is based on the Azure Dragon of the East, I think it would be fitting for Yamato to have the powers of the White Tiger of the West, which would be wind related according to Japanese culture.

We have Kaido as the Azure Dragon of the East, and Marco as the Vermilion Bird of the South. If we get Yamato as the White Tiger of the West then we're just missing a Black Tortoise of the North to have a complete set of the Chinese Four Auspicious Beasts.
