Character Discussion The impressiveness of Eustass Kidd and massacre soldier Killer

#43
To be fair, back in dressrosa people were saying that Law was stronger than Luffy and that he would be the one to defeat Doflamingo. I also see all out Luffy mid diffing all out Kidd but that's already impressive for Kidd, it would mean he is YC 1 level.
I never once thought Law was over Luffy because I always have and I always will put more into portrayal than feats. Especially for characters who we haven’t seen fight much. From the arc the Supernova was introduced it was obvious to me that Luffy would be above all the other captains because he was the only one who had another Supernova on his crew. Only other dude who had the distinct honor of having another Supernova on his crew was Kidd. This to me was the first sign that Luffy and Kidd were a cut above the other Supernova captains. From then on the author continued to draw even more parallels between only Luffy and Kidd (CoC, ambition, willpower, ideologies, ect). Kidd is not Law people need to stop attaching and comparing them to each other. Two different characters two different levels of hype/portrayal. The only Supernova who has EVER been portrayed as a true rival to Luffy is Kidd. The sooner y’all recognize this the less you will be surprised at the end of Wano.

Also, Luffy isn’t mid diffing Kidd. High diff AT LEAST.

1. No, according to dictionary, sharing the same dream is enough to be a rival, doesnt necessarily mean they are equals
2. I just did, and highly possible. However, i still see BB being luffy's ultimate rival, i dont see Oda killing BB after all he has done. And this doesnt answer why they are on the same tier currently
1. To make Luffy constantly salty at him (even when Kidd isn't paying attention to him) means that he sees him as a true competitor, his strenght is implied in this but anyway Kidd will show it during the progress of the battle
2. I never said that BB isn't the final enemy, I'm the first that thinks BB will be the Laugh Tale antagonist. Kidd will fall before that, in Lodestar

Did you read what I suggested you to?

The Strawhat Pirates would put up a better fight against the Blackbeard Pirates than the Kid Pirates would against the Strawhats.

Kid’s as much a rival to Luffy as Smoker is. Less even, given Smoker actually fought Luffy a couple of times while also working alongside him. Kid’s just leapt right into being Luffy’s backup.

Kid would genuinely be a better rival to Law than he would Luffy.

You are comparing Smoker, who had no competition with Luffy since they entered NW (Punk Hazard), with Kidd who's having a big role in the defeat of 1/2 Emperors and was shown as a competitor during all Wano?
Ok

I’m sorry but that is just ridiculous lol. Smoker is part of the Worst Generation? Smoker is conquerer? Smoker has the same dream as Luffy? Smoker has shown willpower and ambition that match Luffy? Luffy gets competitive with Smoker like he does with Kidd? Man y’all really just don’t like Kidd man lol.

I am pretty sure Heat and Wire alone would stomp Tashigi and the rest of G5

There’s one chapter in PH where Smoker, not even in his body, has fought Luffy more than Kid ever has, with Luffy saying he wants to fight Smoker at full power. And that’s post-timeskip. Pre-skip Smoker shits all over Kid in the rival stakes, being a vastly more important character then

I’m pretty sure Nami and Usopp would stomp Heat and Wire, so that’s not saying much. And Smoker at least has other Marines as incredibly strong allies. Kid doesn’t. That’s why he’s such a poor rival. He’s strong, and he has one strong subordinate, but much more than that is needed to be a real rival to Luffy

Pre TS was years ago, this is another era.
Luffy's confrontation with Smoker came in PH with a totally different Luffy. Smoker himself was raped by Doffy. And Luffy treats him with a huge smile in his face.
Kidd is dancing tango with a totally different Luffy, here in Wano/Onigashima and the usual face of Luffy when Kidd is around is similar to this one:

Smoker will be > Kid when he comes back
Sure buddy

This does not prove he’s more of a rival at all lol. Law took care of Smoker like he was nothing and we all know Luffy > Law. This Smoker Luffy “rivalry” is actually the joke rivalry that y’all try and make the Luffy Kidd rivalry seem like since we legitimately know for a fact Luffy would stomp Smoker. Now who has Kidd lost to that Luffy is stronger than? I’ll wait...

I would hope that Smoker was more important than Kidd pre skip seeing as how Kidd was introduced towards the end of it lol. Notice how Kidd and the rest of the Supernova are introduced before entering New World where the true battle will be. Sure Smoker can be the pre skip “rival” but Kidd is the post skip one.

Alright, so the Auction House scene no longer counts for Kid.

You can’t jsut pretend that everything that has ever happened pre-skip is irrelevant

That’s still a Luffy who trained for two years with Rayleigh and has G4 under his belt wanting to fight Smoker when Smoker is at his best
Smoker himself was raped by Doffy.
So? Doflamingo was the main arc villain then and went on to brutalise both Luffy and Law. It’s not surprising that Smoker was beaten by Doffy anymore than it was when Law was beaten by him.
And Luffy treats him with a huge smile in his face.
Yeah, Luffy likes Smoker. That’s why he fails to be the real rival to him, with it instead being Blackbeard, who he hates.

But Luffy also smiled at Kid and asked him to join the fight agaisnt Kaido

Again, you wouldn’t see him smiling at Blackbeard. Even on Jaya before he knew who he was Luffy treated Blackbeard as an enemy and someone to be wary of
This does not prove he’s more of a rival at all lol
It proves that Smoker has actually fought Luffy, while all Kid has ever managed is to, uh, have a rock lifting competition and be his back up against Kaido.
Law took care of Smoker like he was nothing and we all know Luffy > Law.
We all know Luffy > Kid as well
This Smoker Luffy “rivalry” is actually the joke rivalry that y’all try and make the Luffy Kidd rivalry seem like since we legitimately know for a fact Luffy would stomp Smoker.
The Smoker rivalry has been a part of the series since long before Kid was even an idea and will play a major role in the Marine storyline that has been going on just as long. Far, far from being a joke.

And if Oda does actually deliver on Smoker and Luffy having that promised fight, then Kid will be blown out of the water. Cause he’s not going to make a fight that has been in the making since East Blue a turkey shoot.
I would hope that Smoker was more important than Kidd pre skip seeing as how Kidd was introduced towards the end of it lol.
He’s been more important than Kid the entirety of the series. Kid is just Luffy’s pirate backup. Smoker actually has his own plotline with the Marines

And as for Blackbeard, here’s what the real rivalry, that stomps on Kid and Smoker, looks like









Notice how the two are almost mirror images of each other, with both attacks being shown in the exact same way. And that crucially, neither of the two comes out on top. Both are shown to do near enough the same amount if damage to the other.

Nope, I’m using portrayal you are using bias. I never said Kidd and Luffy are complete equals. I simply believe that they are on the same tier. Much more reasonable and supported than you blindly stating Luffy would “mid diff” Kidd lol

Blackbeard is the Xebec of this era. That simple. His ship is even named Saber of Xebec. Luffy is obviously this eras Roger. Xebec might have been his toughest enemy but that doesn’t make him his rival. Just because Blackbeard will be Luffys toughest enemy does not mean they are rivals. Like I already said but you and the other dude ignored this. Current Blackbeard is Shanks rival not Luffy’s. Like you said we are talking about current not EOS right?

How can you state this headcanon when you yourself said we haven’t seen Kidd do anything? You are simply assuming Luffy outclasses him in everything even though that goes against the way the author has portrayed these two characters.

Like I said before, trash ass take with no basis. But hey believe what you want I’m done here. You think Luffy mid diffs the dude that has been portrayed as the guy closest to him in his generation then whatever. You won’t be the only one who looks dumb at the end of Wano. So at least you won’t be alone lol.
Stop wasting time

Kidd with brute force in one move made kaido feel pain than G4 + G3 did

Kidd will be sharing the Spotlight with Luffy in this fight and the last round in act 4
He's not Law
You are comparing Smoker, who had no competition with Luffy since they entered NW (Punk Hazard), with Kidd who's having a big role in the defeat of 1/2 Emperors and was shown as a competitor during all Wano?
Ok
Just to tell you people here hate Kidd coz they wish Zoro got that importance as rival against Yonko

Smoker fighting Luffy doesn’t prove he’s more of a rival than Kidd. It’s an irrelevant point. Luffy and Kidd could easily fight in the future.
We all know Luffy > Kid as well
Sure but not by as much as Luffy is over Law and especially Smoker. Kidd has the portrayal to be on the same tier as Luffy unlike Smoker or Law.
The Smoker rivalry has been a part of the series since long before Kid was even an idea and will play a major role in the Marine storyline that has been going on just as long. Far, far from being a joke.

It’s a joke rivalry. Once again you bring up bad arguments and irrelevant points. Who cares if Smoker has been in the story longer than Kidd? That doesn’t make him a better rival. Tien and Piccolo from DBZ were introduced as rivals to Goku WAY before Vegeta. Are they better rivals than him? No one wants to see Luffy fight someone that Law already clowned on Punk Hazard lol. I don’t give a shit how much “build up” you think it has lol.

He’s been more important than Kid the entirety of the series. Kid is just Luffy’s pirate backup. Smoker actually has his own plotline with the Marines
You call Kidd “pirate back up” to downplay him and help your shitty argument. Kidd is one of the pirates that will lead the new era as said in Odens prophecy. Smoker is a scrub marine that Law shat on in Punk Hazard. Get real.

Based on your own logic, luffu can't rival Teach coz he's weaker and not even yonko level

Kidd is a rival to Luffy
The sooner you accept it, the less hatred you will have.

He's not smoker or Law
Both lack CoC

Oda doesn't hand CoC and such portrayal as rival to people who are far weaker than Luffy . Even the enemies he fight who have CoC aren't below him.
Chinjao (despite being old still put up a fight)

You’re not proving anything with this. Btw this exchange between Luffy and Blackbeard came before Blackbeard obtained the DF of the Worlds Strongest Man. You realize that right? I already said that Blackbeard is Luffy’s arch nemesis not rival. Blackbeard will be Luffys toughest opponent ever. I never have doubted this. But that doesn’t make him Luffy’s rival. Also going by your same dumb logic of Kidd isn’t Luffy’s rival because Luffy > Kidd, wouldn’t that make Luffy and Blackbeard not rivals since Blackbeard >> Luffy?
