Speculations Aramaki vs Kidd: 1056 And Beyond

#1
Some interesting observations I connected while rereading the last 3 chapters. Left me know if I’m off base or anything.

1. Kidd is upset that Luffy is considered an emperor and wants to prove himself. This is why Kidd attacked Luffy in 1053 before getting stopped.

2. All of the strong characters present in the capital were able to detect Aramaki. Naturally, you would assume that Kidd detected him as well.

3. Kidd is nowhere to be seen in 1055. This implies that Kidd is not in the capital (or maybe he is and settled down).

I think 1-3) imply an Aramaki vs Kidd clash is coming. Kidd is aware of the admiral’s presence and wants to elevate himself to emperor status. Aramaki is clearly an easier target than Luffy.

More points:
4. Lots of fans think Kidd is unimpressive. Oda is aware of this. Maybe the admiral is a good scapegoat to show off Kidd more?

5. Aramaki is currently leaving Wano empty handed. Maybe Kidd is who he takes back to HQ?

6. Kidd’s animal is a bull. This was stated in an SBS and we literally saw him use bull themed attacks on Big Mom.

7. Metal vs Nature. Red Bull vs Green Bull. Both want approval. The reverse parallels are clearly there.

Thoughts?

What’s selling it for me is that they both literally have bull symbolism.
I already have Kidd and Law fighting admirals among the final battles anyway, but Ryokugyu vs Kid matches a lot, I am sold on the nature vs metal

Alternatively Kidd (magmetism/electromagnetism) vs Fujitora (gravity).

He might use Pacifista to his advantage with his awakening.
