Ah yeah thats a great point actually! Keep him a true underdog, a self made man with no cheat codes/handouts/epic legacies etc. He makes a great parallel to Franky in that regard too except if Queen actually is Frankys father now too sigh lol.
I really like that perspective, Kidd is still what Luffy was like pre Nika too, you've really put some strong considerations for me here, damn. I love characters like for that reason, the struggling underdog is one of my go to favourites and one of the reasons I completely lost interest in MHA with how much Horikoshi BUTCHERED that and ultimately doubled down on it by the end too. Funnily enough, Bakugo is the Kidd of MHA and still is by the end too and was a BakuGoat in the end absolutely too. Actual amazing character redemption and growth.
That makes sense, the bounty would have pissed them off to think of it and I have seen Zoro fans see him as a threat somehow, doesnt help Oda really pushed Zoro vs Killer too lol. A handicapped Killer at that.
Yeah thats true about Law, thats a great point. Plus as a swordsman, Law relies on his DF, hes more DF user than swordsman generally whereas Zoro will always and should be DF less ofc.
Yeah, it would feel very OOC if Law ever fought Luffy seriously, Oda making him antagonistic in early Punk Hazard was so fucking weird for me, it felt very OOC for me. Law only mention wanting to become pirate king when he first appeared in Sabaody but he never mentioned it again, I think it was his crew rather than him too?
Yeah absolutely, I think Shanks and Elbaf will be the reason Kidd and Luffy fight ultimately, especially Shanks ofc but also the giants potentially. Imagine if Luffy gets the credit for taking down Big Mom unsurprisingly? Thats gonna piss Kidd off even more IMMENSELY ofc!
Kidd would want to stop Luffy getting the One Piece and becoming Pirate King too ofc unless he gives up and sees Luffy as superior/more worthy which I would hate and not be surprised if it happened but it should never happen given who he is but he still should help Luffy as a means to an end, a greater enemy than you needs to be stopped by us working together type situation like teaming up vs Blackbeard, The WG/Imu or w/e.
Yeah I have seen that now you mention it, it did make me pretty fed up with Zoro fans even though I'm quite a big Zoro glazer myself and I even vouched for ZKK too. Thats so fucking true, thats an excellent question/point, damn! Imagine the TOXICITY if Zoro took down a YONKO too!? GODAMN!
Kidd Haters/Downplayers really cannot accept that he took down a Yonko with Law and Law could never have done it solo nor Kidd ofc, they had to WORK TOGETHER and equally took her down whether anybody likes it or not, he contributed way more than they realise.
LMFAO, thats my biggest hype for Elbaf man, ive been hyped for decades for Elbaf for various reasons, not as much as Wano but still! But now with Kidd, I'm desperate for Elbaf to be his return, his glorious comeback, his REVENGE and thus resurrection, Metal Gear Rising, Kidds Revengeance lmao.
God, Kidd using Haki on panel finally, especially CoC would be PEAK. I never considered him getting a CoC clash with Luffy instead of Big Mom or Shanks but that would be AMAZING and it could be like Bullet vs Luffy in Stampede too then, which Kidd funnily was part of too and displayed EQUALLY to Luffy in it for a bit at least AND Bullet has a similar fruit to Kidd too ofc and hes an extremely stubborn, relentless motherfucker and brute too ofc!
You raised some really great points for Kidd and myself here man, thank you for this, this was a MUCH needed read for me!
