Break Week I didn’t know what it meant to be a fan of something, but then I discovered Kidd.

#1
Ever since Kidd made his first appearance, I thought to myself, “I’m going to bet my chips on this guy.”
At first, it was casual and vague, but as time went on (the battle with Kaido, betrayal, Onigashima, revenge, and victory), I started to really like this man.

Then came Shanks and the clash between them, and the (unfair, by the way) battle where Shanks’ crew starts attacking Kidd. When he went to intervene, he was caught by surprise while carrying his cannon.

The world wrote Kidd off, but I was there to defend him, and that feeling of being a fan only grew stronger.

If Oda shows just one panel of Kidd now, I’ll get super hyped.

I think Law’s fans are feeling the same way.

I’ve never been a fan of anything; actually, I didn’t care at all. I thought it was silly to be a fan of cartoon characters.

MY EXPECTATIONS

Oda is cooking something up. It’s not new that he’s teasing things about Kidd, like the victory over Snack, Eustass Black, and recently the fact that Captain John’s fruit is the Jiki Jiki.
Kidd will probably appear at the end of Elbaf recovering or allying with the Cross Guild or Teach—I’m not sure if he’ll participate in the fight against Imu-kun.

POWERS

Kidd’s fruit has huge potential, and Oda could explore it more.
I once had a readcanon of Kidd flying on a metal plate like Marvel’s Silver Surfer while constructing antennas or doing something crazy to make an electromagnetic shield. This would be possible for the character but has never been shown.
Oda only uses the basics of magnetism. I know Kidd isn’t as central as the main characters, but come on, Oda!

STORY

Oda portrays Kidd like Zoro—his story isn’t shown in the manga but in SBS, just like Zoro. I believe Oda intended Kidd to be a battle soldier.

Like Law and Sanji, Kidd’s background is more deeply explored in this aspect.

IF ONE DAY

If I ever have a child, his name will be (for example) “Jonathan Kidd” lol.
That will be my tribute to the cursed Jiki.

Complete fucking truth.

Thats fucking awesome man and also hilarious as William Kidd's father was called Johnathan Kyd and was a legendary pirate too lol.



John Kyd and William Kidd were Scottish and guess who else would be Scottish if they were real according to Oda? Kidd and Killer ofc!

The Figarlands and thus Shanks and Shamrock are meant to be Irish so I can see Ireland vs Scotland history being inspirations for Oda too.

Yes, there has been significant hostility between the peoples of Scotland and Ireland throughout history, largely fueled by colonization, religious differences, and political conflict. While the two Celtic nations share cultural and linguistic roots, their relationship has also been marked by conflict, particularly in the 17th century and during more modern times in Northern Ireland.

Historical events that caused hostility

The Plantation of Ulster

In the early 17th century, the English crown confiscated land from native Irish lords in the province of Ulster and "planted" it with Protestant settlers from England and Scotland.
  • Scottish Lowland settlers: The majority of these new arrivals were Presbyterian Lowland Scots. They were given prime agricultural land while the Catholic Irish were dispossessed or relegated to less fertile areas.
  • Religious and ethnic conflict: This policy created deep-seated resentment and led to centuries of ethnic and sectarian animosity, as the native Irish population clashed with the new Protestant, Scottish settlers.
The Irish Rebellion of 1641

The animosity from the Plantation of Ulster boiled over in 1641 during a major Irish Catholic rebellion against Protestant settlers.
  • Massacres and reprisals: The conflict involved widespread massacres of Protestant settlers, including many Scots. In turn, Protestant militias engaged in mass killings of Catholics in retaliation.
  • Scottish military intervention: A Scottish army landed in Ulster in 1642 to protect its countrymen, and fought against the Catholic Irish rebels for several years.
The Wars of the Three Kingdoms (1640s)

The Irish Catholic Confederation fought against a Royalist army, an army of Scottish Covenanters, and the English Parliamentary forces in Ireland.

  • The Wars were complex, with each of the three kingdoms (England, Scotland, and Ireland) engaged in its own civil war, creating a tangled web of overlapping loyalties and conflicts.
  • This period saw Scottish Presbyterians in Ulster ally with English Parliamentarians against Irish Catholic rebels, but later fight against Cromwell's army when the English Parliament took over.
Later hostility from Scottish migrants

The Irish migration to Scotland in the 19th century was met with significant prejudice from some Scots, particularly within the Protestant community.
  • Sectarian tensions: In 19th-century Scotland, religious and sectarian motives fueled mistrust toward Irish immigrants. The arrival of poor Irish Catholics, in a largely Protestant country, was seen as a threat by some.
  • Football rivalry: While mostly a sporting rivalry, the divide between Celtic FC (with its Irish Catholic roots) and Rangers FC (with its Scottish Protestant roots) can sometimes result in sectarian bigotry.
The modern relationship

It is important to note that the modern relationship is generally positive and collaborative. In recent decades, both nations have focused on strengthening cultural and economic ties. The historic hostilities are now largely confined to the past or are expressed through sports rivalry.

Nobody mention what Luffy did in Impel Down too. Only the worst criminals in the entire world and WAY worse than Kidd too. Oopsie.

Double standards as per usual to hate on Kidd.

Luffy idolises Shanks who he and his crew murder people and Shanks has a 4 billion bounty too, how do they think Shanks got that bounty?

:pepeclown::HappyClown::PepeMan::pepepopcorn::pepeohno::ClownStare::pepegg:
Shank Being homeless ,bringing kids into piracy (dude is like a cult leader)and banging baddies and never pays a penny for his childs ,and wifis Admirals as sidequests :pepepopcorn:
