Yes...circumstances..
Calling it a skill issue when gets attacked while attempting to launch a damned punk attack vs a fleet of ships...right lmao.
Yes skill issue, expecting that things will be that easy and not being fast to react is a skill issue
Kidd will obviously unlock acoc in his next battle. Who said Kidd wasn't going to unlock acoc through battle?
This is where the problem comes from, it's implied as ryuo is necessary to unlock ACoC, as both are infusing it, Kidd doesn't have that, so he'll first have to go through that via training of someone that can teach him ryuo (let's say Loki does) then I still don't see that making him be on that level, Luffy was lucky during rooftop that Law/Zoro were there. If Loki is fighting Luffy, then what's stopping Shanks from no diffing him again?
Please read what I wrote about Loki.
Shanks divine departure is a 4/10 for his AP. LOL. An attack where he used Acoc + DD? A weak attack when he was forced to use future sight and rush kidd before his Damned Punk went off...sure..sure lmao
Yes, I just don't see a character of someone as glazed as Shanks that being his high echelon of what's his AP is capable off. Kaido used thunder bagua against act 1 Luffy yet we saw that death destroyer bagua was several tiers above that, this will likely be the case with Shanks & DD or different high end attacks, so DD will fall between mid tier (4/10 5/10).
If anyone except (Kaido/Big Mom) gets hit Punk Corna Dio, Punk Crash or Damned Punk, they are dying. The amount of AP to break Big mom bones without Haki is unimaginable. Anyone who doesn't have god tier durability, is getting one shot easily.
She is clearly using acoc here. Damned punk overpowered acoc+ soul pocus.
I don't think that's ACoC but the fact that she didn't use it offensively remains more or less true. The problem with hitting that on someone that's as fast as Shanks that has FS + observation killing and can hide his presence is very very low, but it'll certainly be devastating if he hits.
Kidd will reach that level. All he needs is acoc + future sight.
I'm not trying to downplay your takes but this ridiculous. Observation is the least haki we see Kidd use, it'll make zero, yes zero sense for him to unlock that, compared to ACoC.
As I said before acoc + any of those Kidd attacks i mentioned is actually overkill. And with assign, its an insane combo. An ability big mom herself, couldn't negate.
Acoc + Fs, he'll actually be overpowered. And to top it off. His raw physical ability is mind blowing. If you remove all fruits from the supernovas, in raw physical ability, he is the strongest. He was matching Luffy in udon prison with ONE arm.
There's a reason why Oda didn't let Kidd actually have a full out a fight vs Shanks.
That would've downplayed Shanks, hence why he had to make a point about the fodder fleet and show him getting destroyed.
There's also a reason Oda had Kidd meet Shanks instead of BB. Imagine if Kidd had free hits vs BB like the fight Law had with him? BB isn't surving DP, Punk Crash or Corna Dio.
He will reach that level by the end of Elbaf.
Law got them kits thanks to his awakening, Kidd can't throw BB off of Doc Q's horse and once he hits the ground, darkness fruit and it's night night. This is another problem like where I see people say Zoro would've done better than Law, both can be true if they get free hits, but Law got that hit thanks to his fruit. Zoro can send a flying slash but they not invisible so it'll get countered. Kidd could use DP but either they can dodge or if I'm not wrong, BB can nullify upcoming attacks without touching the person. IF BB takes either of those Kidd attacks, he won't ve getting one shot but it'll certainly do a lot of damage, BB endurance is pretty good.
