Character Discussion Will Eustass Kid become a Great Pirate after Wano?

#21
Luffy will become a fullfledged great pirate aka yonko aka the level Shanks was expecting him to be in order to give him back his hat. Kidd at best can become a pseudo yonko aka Luffy current status and that imo is right since of course Luffy will be the main contender while people like Law and Kidd will just be side characters compared to Luffy. If it is a vs Doffy fight again they could even be used just to hype Kaido and BM like what already happened with Law.

When Luffy will get the OP at that point he most likely will have already fought BB or that will be the very next fight to happen after Luffy discovers it so Kidd by that point will be highly irrelevant, if Luffy hasn't already left him in the dust like for Law by EoS the gap will already be relevant and anyway Kidd for sure is not EoS stuff, probably this arc will be his most relevant point in the whole manga. He will have other apparances like post eos if he will still be alive or in a supposed big war at the end of the manga but he will have this arc and not other ones like Law. Now are his 15 minutes of celebrity.

Maybe Kidd will try the standard emperor route and take territories, that would be fine since Oda can simply put that as side infos when the SH are reading the newspaper or something. About Luffy I don't see him all of a sudden starting to manage territories, he will be the backer of the country and that is that, it is the same that happened for Fishman island: Poseidon and co will keep to rule it woth even more freedom than before (no candies for BM to dispatch), same for Wano with Momo.

What I see Oda doing with him after Wano? He will be put again in the background but not to the point to be buried in it like characters like Gin or Vergo who only exist in sone threads in this forum nowadays. Maybe he will get the same as Croco and Lucci, very rarely there will be some very small upgrades about them (shown for a moment between the arcs like it always happen) and where he is and what he is doing. Maybe, if he is quite lucky, he will get some special status like Law and get some light in the interludes between each arc to show that even if they are not Luffy real matches they are improving to the point they will become the next emperors (Kaido and BM replacements).
I agree with those points

Not so sure why Kidd is relentlessly portrayed to not just fight off Luffy, but become his sworn opponent. They are both part of the new gen, both D. and CoC possessors, but Oda is yet not portraying the two to stand on equal foot thus far. This aspect is not really ancillary, this is why Zoro is instead being portrayed that way. So we shall see if these expectations about Kidd shall ever live up to their potential.

Who has the dude really lost to outside of High caliber characters and above?

Many people kept saying that Sabaody meant nothing and Kid would be nothing more than a side character as the series progresses, and yet here we are with him on the rooftop alongside his first mate, who people also downplayed into oblivion and ignored the obvious parallels between those two and Luffy and Zoro.

It's more so people can't fathom the thought of other characters growing in strength to rival their favorite character, because their character must have no rivals. At the end of the day though Kid and Killer are going to be up at the top before EoS, with them gaining major notoriety in this upcoming battle.

He is already a great pirate.
Any major character who also happens to be a pirate should be considered like that in my opinion. By major I want to intend it not just power levels wise, but mostly based off total accomplishments.

Not every Supernova may be characterizable as a great pirate for example, but that's entirely subjective, in that there's no official standardized rule that deems who is one and who is not.

The likes of Kidd and Law should be labeled as great pirates in my opinion, since they stand amongst the top of the new generation.

Wtym?

Of course he'll become a great pirate. All the 5 who are on the rooftop will and Kidd happens to be one of the leaders
But a lot of people hate him to much and deny it, they'll soffer some delusion post Wano
Can't wait to read the bait thread: "Why did Oda gave such a big role to Kidd? Has he made a mistake?"
:milaugh:
Damn I hope you don’t mean that last part, your giving a lot of weight to a big Side character. And side characters never outshine the MC

For starters we can safely assert that Kidd is no Whitebeard, so let's dismiss any scenario of Kidd evenly matching Pirate King Luffy and similar things like that from our minds, at least for now.

We will need to look at the matter step by step and find out what happens, since so far this big chaos about Luffy v Kidd is not supported by a lot of evidence at all. Not even the fact they are both factored in the new gen and even the worst gen is enough by itself, just like the fact they possess CoC or the D. does not imply that Kidd is fated to become Luffy's main antagonist anytime soon.
Zoro is wb
