Questions & Mysteries why does Kidd have so little panel time in Wano
- Thread starter Luffy bin Dragon
- Start date
Oda won't let someone outshine Luffy.
With Wano not with Kaido
And even for Wa No it's not totally true, considering Wa No is deeply connected to the void century and JoyBoy.
Low-panel time means nothing
Either way Oda should put more emphasise on Kidd than Zoro, giving that Kidd is Luffy's rival and hell having a rival is cool on shounens but the way Oda goes I wouldn't be surprised if Zoro outshine Kidd.

or simply say you fear kidd will outshine zoro so bad
you think being outshined by midd in an arc which isnt even his main one is a good performance
yes it has.
So
unless you think killing a very weakened Kaido is better than beating him

Also once again, Wano is not Zoro’s arc. It is the conclusion to the Yonko saga. Will Zoro play a big part in this arc? Absolutely because as you said he has some connections there and he is a Strawhat. Is this arc “his arc”? No. Zoro appearing on a cover page doesn’t change that.
In all honesty, within the confines of how Wano is written, in conjunction with Kid's character and his standing on the whole "Alliance" matter, it is hard to see how Oda could have squeezed more panel time out of him and his crew in this arc.
Kid's objective might align with the Strawlliance, but his story of how he's meant to go about getting there, does not. There was just waaaaay to much other lore and tie ins from other characters who are pertinent to the country itself, within this arc, to make everything fall into place, that randomly cutting to Kid doing stuff would feel forced and out of place, as Kid has no real connection to anyone who is detrimental to the overarching plotline of freeing the Country.
Where we are at now, is where Kid's time in the arc is meant to shine. Everything that came before this, he wasn't really needed to drive home the major plot points that needed the most focus to build up to this point.
Will he kill Kaido? No.... But I wouldn't bet against him being a key player in this fight.

T
hes not a SH or a relevant Wano citizen. why would he get panel time?
unless a SH or relevant Wano citizen is interacting with him directly or indirectly I see no reason why Oda should shift attention to him.
this is not Kidd Piece.
Kidd had equal portrayal to the chosen one - Luffy - during Udon. what more do people expect?
