him and law are very obviously portrayed as equals, i never got why law fans try so hard to prove otherwise
They aren't portrayed as equals. Oda has made it clear Kidd is a cut above. If you've read the panels during the big mom fight, at the bare minimum, Kidd carried the fight. This agenda that Law carried when the panels show something entirely...
Why would Oda have Kidd fight Big mom solo for chapters before Law arrived and get the finishing blow?
Why was Big mom focused on kidd 90% of the fight?
Why does kidd have conquerors and df awakening? The only character besides Luffy in the worst gen with this combo
Why did Oda directly compare kidd to joyboy?
Why did Oda have law meet bb and kidd meet shanks? Imagine kidd having a free hit on bb? He dies lol.
Kidd is a cut above law, youll see shortly.
Edit:
the good thing about this arc and lodestar is that the fight vs luffy will end all these convos lol, cant wait
