Kidd's character arc is not done either, he's just gotten his first arc finally and Law has been built up over multiple arcs so surely Kidd will as well. We don't even know how or why he lost his arm to Shanks and his crew and who from the crew even took it, but I'm certain it will turn out to be Shanks himself.
We also don't have Kidd's backstory along with Killer's which is important too. Idk if he will get the same amount of love Law did with his, I doubt it but we have to get something at least? A bit more than what King got at least? King needed more backstory too especially with the Lunarians but oh well.
Kidd has been gearing up to take down Shanks before Apoo betrayed them and literally dropped Kaido on them. Oda is setting up not only parallels with Kidd's design vs Shanks, but an actual serious vendetta and thus a reason to take him down and even try to kill him.
Now have a movie called Film Red coming and Kidd is not even advertised/mentioned for it yet as far as I know, no reveals of him and his crew's designs, isn't that fucking weird? Especially for a film called RED and centering around Shanks too? Law and Bepo are confirmed too though....
Oda has really wasted Kidd this arc but in subsequent arcs, he has made Law appear and actually be much stronger, so I vainly hope he is going to do the same for Kidd. Killer has been very impressive at least and I'm certain Kidd is gonna play a larger role in the story especially vs Shanks but also in the race to Laugh Tale and the One Piece.
He'll always be an underdog to Luffy the golden boy and now "God" MC though, he's like Luffy's Vegeta or so.
I wish he had more of a role and impact vs Kaido and even Queen due to whats happened but Oda delegated him to fighting Big Mom with Law instead for some bizarre reason. Honestly it should have been Law, Luffy and Kid fighting Kaido together imo but its whatever. Even throw in Killer and Zoro maybe, fuck it. Recreate the rooftop fight but without Big Mom this time? Yamato should be fighting her father along with the aged up Momo too but again, its whatever with Lolda.
Kid and Law beat her without Haki and the SHs have been clowning her so its not too big a stretch to assume the SHs could beat her too, especially if they had support from others, like Scabbards who are still able to fight (but again Scabbards should be fighting Kaido), so idk, keep Law to help the SHs against BM? Make Bepo actually useful for once too?
This is such a massive fucking mess that Dressrosa even feels like a masterpiece compared to it. The Scabbards are playing a similar role to the Grand Fleet in stealing screentime and fights from the SHs too. Even though the SHs are together now, Oda is still splitting them up and not having them work together as much as he could and should too. Their teamwork vs Big Mom was nice but we need more imo.
But to get back on point, it is fucking ridiculous Oda didnt give Kidd Adv CoC here but I'm still holding out vain hope he will vs Shanks and we will get a CoC clash of Kidd vs Shanks, but we'll see. I'm not getting my hopes up much anymore, just keeping my expectations much lower than usual.
I also believe Kidd will have a role vs the WG as he was shown to be disgusted by the Celestials at Sabaody and he might have reasons in his backstory to hate the WG and such too. I also believe he is a D too, he has to be imo.
