Character Discussion Is Kids a realistic version of Luffy

[Jack_Hanma]

Fate and destiny exists in One Piece, Luffy is the Chosen One trope, or Oda's Jesus.

Shanks is Gary Stu.

Meanwhile characters like Kidd who don't share Oda's moral compass get shitten on non-stop.

And even Blackbeard had to plot for 20 years for Yami No Mi, while Luffy instantly gets everything.

Kid shows why it’s important to be a D. If you have plot and “destiny” on your side you can be as reckless as you want like Luffy and Blackbeard.

Gotta love the chosen one tropes

 

[Blother Fertitta]

No ace was a fucking retard. If he just kept running and didn’t take the bait, man might have been yonko by now.

That’s some Usopp and Sanji level logic

“Just drop ur ambitions”

Roger didn’t run, so Ace doesn’t

 

[Kurozumi D. Trussop]

Useless crew for a useless captain tbh, killer deserved better

Killer should have been Law’s Vice Captain

 

[MarineHQ]

Absolutely yes. Kid has done what Luffy would've done too. Thing is, had Luffy invaded Shanks like that the RHP's would've started to randomly attack each other

“But but Luffy wouldn’t take out the fodder!”

Yeah because Luffy didn’t literally use G4, team up with Kid and Law to take out a bunch of fodder pre onigashima

Oda basically writes One Piece in a way where Luffy and Co aren't "heroes" but the plot itself twists itself to stop them from doing anything bad

Look at Skypiea's ending

Zoro apparently butchered a crew for waking him up in Saobody yet Kidd doing to same was treated narratively as if he killed Shanks Mother

 

[Sentry22]

Luffy also fucks around and finds out? He always jumps into battles he’s woefully unprepared for

That’s how you rise to the top. If your cautious and never take risks you’ll always be a nobody. All the Supernova did this against Kaido. Yet none of them stood a chance.

Kidd’s issue is he trusts no one but killer. Never asks for help and he treats people like trash. Which is why he entered Yonko territory without help. Cuz nobody likes someone who takes pleasure in torturing people. Saying oh it’s all because of plot armor. No it’s because of his greatest trait which draws people to him. That’s why Luffy will always succeed where others fails. It’s his character.

I dont see it as the same because he was already running. He just got baited by some schoolyard tier name calling. Ace was legit dumb as a sack of rocks in that moment.

 

[LANJI CUCKSMOKE]

sort of and in other ways No
they are very different characters morally
Kidd was going to kill those people
he wasnt going after shanks to save anyone, he went there to setttle a grudge
that doesnt sound like luffy at all.

No, Kidd is not a realistic version of Luffy. Luffy wouldn't send a King Kong Gun at Shanks' fodder with the intentions of vaporizing them lmfao. Kidd could've made a peaceful landfall and fought'em to they were unconscious—given they were compared to Paradise fodder, that shouldn't be hard.

Instead, Shanks sees the entire fleet being torn apart (human bodies as well). You get what you give.

Luffy literally attacked Kaido’s fodder with G4 pre Onigashima

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Luffy literally attacked Kaido’s fodder with G4 pre Onigashima

An unnamed punch from G4 =/= this

 

[Roo]

An unnamed punch from G4 =/= this

The intent is the same, Luffy went all out at the time to take out fodder who were in his way

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Kidd anti-materialized them at first glance lmfao.

Luffy attacked a ship that came with the express intent of sinking the samurai.

They were literally trying to fight him, even Kid is doubting himself here

Yup. And he went right to annihilating them at first glance. Quite literally ripping them to pieces.

 

[Roo]

So Luffy taking out a ship that has expressed intent on sinking the samurai is okay. Kid taking out 9 ship who are all literally expressing their intent on taking him out is not?

and it’s not like Luffy didn’t know they were fodder, he literally calls them that lol
