I actually like Kidd’s character, but there’s definitely something to be said about how he was portrayed as the “main” supernova back at Sabaody but never really delivered on that
Law got a whole arc of focus. Bege got to be awesome in WCI. Bonney’s getting a lot of focus right now. Kidd… got to push an old lady off a building and even then got overshadowed by Law.
I don’t really think Kidd would repeat his Wano storyline if he plays a role in Elbaf cause both situations were honestly very different. In Wano, Kidd got screwed over by Apoo, but kept his head held high and stuck to his pride, and this was portrayed as a good thing. Here, Kidd and his crew got their shit kicked in, and this was 100% Kidd’s own fault as it was a direct consequence of Kidd’s gung-ho behavior. I think if Kidd does play a role in Elbaf (And I think he will), then he’ll actually go through some growth, especially since a pirate losing their ship is gonna be a real humbling experience no matter what
