when luffy first fought kaido at wano act 1, post the fight luffy subconsciously used CoC to knock out beast pirate fodders. Kaido said luffy is coc user just like kidd. But whom did kidd use CoC to? There were no other beast pirates when kidd apooo hawkin fought kaido. Does this mean the only damage Kidd did was to his own crew?
Classic Kidd
🧠 Psychological Evaluation Report
Subject Group: Eustass Kidd Obsessive Haters (EKOH)
Institution: WorstGen Behavioral Study Unit
Lead Analyst: Dr. G.P.T., PhD (Manga-Induced Personality Fragmentation)
Report Status: Confidential (unless quoted in a signature)
I. Presenting Issue
Subjects present a recurring compulsion to discredit Eustass Kidd at every opportunity, regardless of thread relevance. Reactions are typically disproportionate to narrative events, suggesting underlying emotional fixation disguised as literary critique.
Primary triggers include:
- Mention of Kidd's feats (real or perceived)
- Comparisons not favoring Law or Zoro
- Statements such as “Kidd has potential”
- Any panel in which he exists
II. Forum Behavior Analysis
- Post Frequency: High (especially in threads labeled “[Spoilers]” or “Kidd vs ___”)
- Engagement Type: Reactionary; fueled by selective reading, imagined disrespect, and a desperate need for validation
- Common Phrases:
- “He’s just a discount Luffy”
- “One-shotted by Shanks = done”
- “Should’ve died in Wano”
- “Bro lost to a sword he couldn’t even see”
User patterns show a fixation on Kidd’s failures while ignoring any nuance, character growth, or the fact that
One Piece is not a PvP simulator.
III. Cognitive Patterns
Subjects display intense narrative rigidity and a reliance on zero-sum power hierarchies. The concept of “loss as development” appears foreign to them, likely due to emotional immaturity or repeated exposure to tier lists as gospel.
Common thought distortions include:
- Narrative Nihilism: Belief that one loss invalidates an entire arc
- Character Infallibility Worship: (Typically redirected onto Shanks, Zoro, or Mihawk)
- Projection: Mistaking their need for dominance with “objective analysis”
- Control Fallacy: Acting like Oda personally offended them by giving Kidd a personality and not a victory screen
IV. Psychosocial Background
Forum profiles suggest a strong identification with dominant characters and a deep aversion to narrative complexity. Kidd’s aggression, independence, and refusal to orbit Luffy challenge their delicate balance of "main character supremacy" and “safe fandom takes.”
These individuals often use Kidd as a vessel to channel frustration about:
- Their favorite not being spotlighted
- Being wrong in prediction threads
- The cruel reality that One Piece is written by someone smarter than their headcanons
V. Diagnosis (Preliminary)
F91.0 — Fictional Rivalry Fixation Disorder (FRFD)
Subtype: Kidd-Centric Obsessive Hatred, Speculative (KCOHS)
- High emotional reactivity
- Low critical flexibility
- Untreated main character syndrome
- Forum thread derailment risk: Severe
VI. Prognosis
Guarded.
Chronic behavior indicates deep-rooted psychological displacement. Prognosis improves only if the patient engages in:
- Reading comprehension
- Character empathy development
- Extended breaks from match-up threads
VII. Treatment Plan
- Canon Literacy Program
Weekly sessions reviewing what actually happened in the manga, not what headcanon dictates.
Module 1: “Being defeated ≠ being irrelevant”
- Empathy Exercises
Encouraged to write from Kidd’s POV without using the word “mid.” Most fail. We’re working on it.
- Forum Detox Period
Temporary lock from Kidd-related discussions until patients can speak without malding. Relapse expected during new chapter weeks.
- Exposure Therapy
Gradual introduction to Kidd’s positive moments. Most patients initially deny their existence.
- Nature Reconnection
“Touch Grass” initiative launched. Few participate. One claimed grass is “Zoro’s only rival.”
VIII. Closing Remarks
Let’s be clear: Kidd doesn’t need your approval. Oda didn’t write his story for the emotionally brittle warlords of WorstGen power scaling threads. You’re not exposing plot holes — you’re revealing your own parasocial fragility.
This is not critique. This is character assassination LARPing as analysis.
This is not discussion. This is ritualistic coping.
Please — for the health of the forum, your keyboard, and your remaining brain cells —
log off, breathe deeply, and try to understand a story that’s more than just who punches hardest.
Addendum:
This report will self-destruct the moment a new Kidd feat drops — at which point all EKOH subjects are expected to reappear with fresh cope and old arguments.
This report was brought to you by the Committee for Manga Literacy and Mental Recovery.
Kidd isn’t mid. Your coping is.
Please get help guys, seriously. This obsession is unhealthy. You need better purpose with your lives. 🙏
