I have finally come to terms with the fact that Oda doesn’t care about Kid
it’s sad
I disagree. I would be surprised if Oda didn’t care at all about him considering he had easily the greatest hype around his introduction of all the super rookies, has CoC and a rival relationship with Luffy, was given an obvious future plot line with Shanks, and is being set up to take down an Emperor lol. Not to mention the quotes he himself has given about Kids importance in the story.
Always remember that in every arc in NW Oda has made sure to give us an update on what he’s doing.
Fishman island- We find out he’s been being a pain in the ass to BM and is sinking her ships
Punk Hazard - When Luffy makes an alliance, Kidd is shown to make his own alliance
Dressrosa - We find out Shanks is his alliances target
Zou - Kaido falls onto his base and he gets imprisoned
WCI - We find out he invaded her territory at some point
Wano - His first arc in NW that he actually has an onscreen role and his rival relationship with Luffy is as strong as ever and he’s set to take down Big Mom.
Though Kidd hasn’t had too much screen time in NW, just remember that Ida has always made sure to tell us what he’s up too even in arcs he plays no role in. Wano is first arc where he has an on screen role. Let’s see what happens.
(And the funny thing is, I am almost certain that Wano isn’t even meant to be the main “Kidd shine” arc. I guarantee that will be whatever focuses on Shanks. Wano is Kidds Punk Hazard arc. Just an arc to hype him up like what PH did for Law. The Shanks arc will be Kidds Dresrossa where he gets backstory.)
