Powers & Abilities Kid losing to Shanks is an integral part of his growth as a conqueror
- Thread starter Monkey D Theories
- Start date
I wasn't a fan of the idea of Kidd coming back.
But now that Sanji just got stared-diff by one of the final villains, Kidd would most certainly come back.
Luffy - Imu
Zoro - Nasu
Sabo - 1 of the Gorosei
Luffy gonna need 3 more.
Candidates:
1. Yamato
2. Law
3. Kidd
4. Katakuri (scaled w/ AdvCOC)
My hopium for Kidd is for him to comeback with AdvCOC combined with his electromagnetic force.
Imagine Kidd looking like Thor.

Elbaf will be 100+ chapters
So will the final war
he’s coming back
This is insane lmao
Kid’s ship didn’t sink off some random bum ass island. It sank off elbaf, literally the confirmed next arc.
Oda built up Kid since sabaody. He created an alliance post skip that paralleled Luffy’s. Then he fought BM with law and got a 3 billion berry bounty.
The idea that Oda would somehow kill off this character, in the most embarrassing way possible, for the sole purpose of hyping up Shanks, is ridiculous. It’s not particularly good writing, especially when Oda has shown time and time again that these off screen fake out deaths almost never amount to anything.
Pound and Kinemon had much less ambiguous death scenes. Pound has far less build up than Kid. And Oda had both their deaths be fake.
by Oda’s own logic, why should I believe Kid is dead if he didn’t even draw Kid’s death in the manga. We just see a boat being destroyed. Can we even say that move took out the all of the Kid pirates? I don’t know
It makes far more sense that rather than literally shitting on his own character, Oda is just following through on what Kid was built up to be since his introduction: one of the strongest pirates of the worst gen.
Getting destroyed like that is crucial to awakening ACoC. It’s how both Luffy and Yamato got it. It makes far more sense that Oda is going this route.
Kid doesn’t need a training arc. Haki blooms in extreme situations. Kid probably awakened advanced haki simply due to his defeat by Shanks.
So will the final war

A. Dies
B. Becomes a luffy fandom so Character Assination
Kids not coming back to beat shanks and he’s definitely not coming back to fight luffy. So what on earth would he even be useful for in your opinion?
I think he becomes yonko after Luffy defeats Teach
I also think Oda will expand on his character more and set him up to face the WG in the final war.
Anyways Kid dying now would be a much greater character assassination than him becoming Luffy's ally. Kid was set up to be one of the leaders of the next generation. His story can't end with him getting one shot by Shanks.

What’s the point of a yonko when Luffy runs the entire sea as the King of the Pirates. There’s not going to be any Yonko or Emperors cause the entire world will be hoisting Luffys flag.
Kid becoming a cheerleader watching luffy accomplish a dream kid gave up on is easily the worst case of character assassination this manga would have.

I think Law will join Cross Guild, because he isn't a conqueror and hence probably won't be yonko.
Rather him taking advantage of Buggy and pulling the strings from behind seems more characteristic of him.
Kid on the other hand needs to become an emperor imo. Oda had no reason to give him CoC if it just went nowhere.
That's not what pirate king means. WB, Kaido, and BM were all around while Roger was PK and none of them hoisted his flag. PK just means you found One Piece.
And no, Kid becoming Luffy's ally isn't character assassination.
Kid being brutally humiliated by shanks and dying without ever getting even some form of redemption is character assassination. Because literally the only characters who Oda disrespects to that level are chumps like Bellamy and Charlos. Kid on the other hand is in the same boat as Luffy. He fights people much stronger than him and gets stomped, but grows from his failure.
Also, we don't even know what Kid's dream is. We know he wants to be pirate king, but why?
Law wants to be PK so he can learn about the meaning of D.
Luffy has some other dream that Oda is yet to reveal.
We still don't know about Kid and imo Oda isn't just going to can the character after spending so much time on him. Literally if Oda wanted to kill off Kid so badly, he could have given him a respectable ending in Wano and probably boosted the tension of that arc like x10. But negged by Shanks in egghead is just too much.

Roger was the pirate king for a few days before he gave up. Luffys literally going to be the king of the seas as he said time and time again.
Acting like minor empires will exist is going against Luffys narrative. Kid is not like Luffy. Kid is literally designed to be a major piece of shit character who kills and tortures people for fun. He’s not someone to be looked up to he’s someone we’re supposed to be happy is defeated. His literally final scene was him about to kill people who were not fighting back and being defeated by the hero of the island.
Kid was literally portrayed as the villain there.
