"It's BAD WRITING for Shanks to Kill Eustass Kid?" 🤔😂 

Remember folks Kinemon survived a conquerors coated blow from Kaido. This clearly means Kinemon is admiral level and over kid🔥

This chapter did nothing wrong. The “bad writing” occurred back in Wano when Kid utterly failed to live up to the expectations Oda set for him as a rival to Luffy. Like, there are now people who straight up think he would lose to Sanji. That is insane. In one arc, he went from Luffy’s rival to Sanji’s rival. That’s how low his reputation has fallen.

Why is Luffy allowed to get easily defeated over and over again throughout the story but other characters are not?? 😅

It's bad writing in the sense that Kidd probably should have had a lot less or more screen time. Kidd in general had okay writing outside of the point of his character being a little less clear.

i like the parallel of law and kid both fighting emporers. Law learned the importance of haki and used it in his fight, while kid is still just relying on his devil fruit.

I think the whole thing with Kidd being after Kaido and deciding to go after Big Mom with Law instead was Oda’s way of showing Kid bending the knee to the goat with the coat, the future pirate king, Monkey massive d Luffy. Since Kidd would never say or admit it, Kidd trusting in Luffy to handle Kaido was a big deal. The respect that Luffy is able to garner from everyone around him, including his peers and rivals is what sets him apart and makes him a Yonko/future pirate king and Kidd leaving Kaido to Luffy despite his grudge is a perfect example. I just wish Oda was less subtle with it. Mihawk saw it back at Marineford.

I gotta say, if Law is the one pulling up on the Blackbeard ship, I think I’d be more hyped than Blackbeard himself pulling up lol

Kids not even dead and people are acting like he’s gone already that already tells you people don’t think much of him anyways 😂

As much as I enjoy Oda's work, I do believe it was bad writing for Kidd to go after Big Mom when his true enemy was in front of him. It made no sense. Now, if Big Mom was going to kill Killer, or she started playing with the souls of his crew, it would have made more sense to me. It would have better characterized Kidd and his crew. As is though, I think it was poorly written, but in Oda's defense poorly written stuff is bound to happen. I can't imagine how tough it must be to drop as good of stuff as he does weekly for over decades.

Honestly, my theory is that Kid was suppose to have the importance and portrayal that Law has but when Oda saw Law's popularity skyrocket to Strawhat levels he switched them. LOL

😂 the thumnail shanks and beckman enjoying this way to much

I understand both sides of the argument but I think Oda kinda screwed this up slightly and just wanted to write out Kidd and show that "bad" pirates will always get destroyed by the "good" ones In my mind Oda should've gone a different route with Kidd here similar to Bellamy earlier in the series given some edits to the previous arc as well. I didn't love how Luffy went from being one shot to beating Kaido in like a month just due to some minor haki training then a crazy awakening which should've destroyed his stamina so I think having multiple people team up to beat Kaido as well as Big Mom would've been better. However, Kidd has conquer so maybe he will power scale similarly after this defeat?? See below for my notes on the Kaido fight and the Kidd/Shanks meeting. First Kidd has always been stubborn and ready to die at any cost since he's one of the few that has stood up and taken on high powered people throughout the story even though he always takes an L. So as KoL says Kidd letting Luffy take on Kaido alone felt dumb and off base. Kidd needed to stay with Luffy and at least help in the defeat of Kaido directly to avenge his first loss and Killer's condition. Personally would've liked for him to use his magnet powers on the massive sword on the island to pierce Kaido?? Anyways then Kidd still goes after Shanks the same way but instead Shanks jumps to the boat and his haki knocks everyone out but Kidd and Killer who struggle to withstand it. Then Shanks directs his attack to only de-arm Kidd and drags them to an isolated part of the island. Lucky Roo can show off his speed saving the rest of his crew before the ship gets wiped out by the giants. Shanks then gives Kidd an ultimatum to either fight and die or turn to a life of "good nature", join him, and train until he calls upon him because a war is coming and Shanks needs Kidd's power to help the efforts. Then maybe Kidd tries to take on Shanks but is stopped and fought by Beckman who took his arm until Kidd realizes he's no match. This prompts Kidd to understand having friends and being "good" creates more power than the life he's been living (flashbacks to Luffy and his crew plus all the others he influenced helping out) and gives in to turning over a new leaf followed by training with Beckman for the foreseeable future. Doing this would also highlight how spending time around the Nika fruit bends people to being "good natured/friendly" and joining forces as was explained as the fruit's most terrifying power. Also if you want to see some cool speculation stuff about Kidd's power scaling or possible reasons why Shanks could one shot Kidd so easily refer to the @ST L comment. I agree with a lot he says. Including how characters being caught off guard which we've seen in a lot of other manga can result in deaths, dismemberment, or just large damage.

I want to believe Oda has a plan for Kid simply due to him having Conqueror’s Haki, and this devastating defeat will result in a haki bloom. He doesn’t give that ability to scrubs, and it wouldn’t make sense for Oda to off Kid without him ever showcasing it. Oda gave him the traits of a conqueror for a reason.

"The same way Charlie dominated Sneako." I thought I was on a different channel for a second there. Everyone and their grandma is in on that drama lmao

Morj is in his Villain arc He ain't been the same since the raid succeeded

The great thing about this is, either way, Kid is gonna be a much better character in the future if he survives this! And if he didn't, it's still sick ngl😂

I doubt Kid and his crew are dead but with their ship destroyed, now stranded on Elbaf, and likely captured by the Giant army and or Shank's fleet it's safe to say the KID pirates are out of the running for getting to Laugh Tale.

Wait hold up wasn't it said that kid only attacked people when they laughed at his dream? He wasn't just attacking people for no reason like Higuma that's cap.

king lookin lean mans been hitting the gym

My issue is that luffa is gonna be like the only great pirate to have no rivals. Roger and whitebeard clashed many times over the years. Everyone puffy faces he beats and moves on. I know people say law is new W.B but even he and and Liffey didn’t fight they joined up up to be kaido.

Whoever made that thumbnail deserves a raise 😂

I think people fail to realize Kids personality is bigger then who he is. The over confident guy who got lucky now thinks he is all that. It’s not bad writing it’s showing levels to it and then beating Big Mom was luck

That thumbnail tho....lmaoooo

BRO THE THUMBNAIL THOUGH -- BEN BECKMANN 😭

If Law steals BB's ship and makes it to Egghead i'm losing my fucking mind! He would definitely be the Whitebeard of this gen.

I have several points to add to the power scaling conversation: 1. Kid is a very defensive fighter, he usually surrounds himself with scrap to take damage in his stead, the only true damage I can remember he took on the roof top was the living lightning strike from Big Mom where it was a low damage (for a Yonko class fighter) AOE attack that everyone (who weren't Luffy and Law) tanked without a problem. 2. In the two vs one fight against Big Mom, he took the most damage from Killer's attacks against Hawkins (which I think is weak by design in order to mitigate damage against his own captain) and Hawkins himself hitting his head into the building (which to a fighter on the level of Kid is annoying at best), during which Law was taking the blunt of Big Mom's assault. Big Mom herself also proved to be a highly emotional fighter who only uses decisive moves against enemies that deserve them in her mind (Page One and Ulti), a struggling Law and a distracted Kid is hardly worth her strongest attacks (which is the case with almost all of the Yonko class fighters, Kaidou pull out stronger attacks only after finding a worth opponent, so did Luffy on Egghead refusing to use Gear 5th and COC coating against the Seraphim), by the time she gets serious (on screen) her attacks gets intercepted and was put in the defensive position soon after Kid and Law uses their Awakening, it is hard to say if both of them was down after because of the damage they sustained during the fight or because of the ability usage and Awakening drained them of their stamina. 3. Kid's Damned Punk could have put him into a most vulnerable state due to the long charge time and concentration required, there might also be a level of Haki infusion in to the cannon's frame that leaves his body exposed to danger, that is why he only uses them in conjunction with allies' covering his position, for his Haki control cannot protect him fast enough to intercept surprise attacks. We have seen even Yonko class character like Oden getting one-shotted when distracted, and commander minus level character like Kinemon survive COC coating attacks when focused. 4. Shanks was desperate to save his allies from total annihilation, leaving him with very little room to held back his swing, making this a decisive level attack on a far higher magnitude than a Thunder Bagua from Kaidou (more equal to his Fire Drum Dragon form if anything), it is arguable anyone can take an attack like that head on without fainting (high level fights involve a lot of dodging, as a serious Kaidou had shown). 5. It is very possible that Kid and Killer were only knocked out for a few minutes, and could theoretically get up and in fighting shape again if they were not immediately nuked by a Hakoku Soveignty immediately after, it happens to Luffy all the time when he lose consciousness in the middle of conflict. 6. COC infusion attacks may have a side effect of knocking people out if they are not sufficiently protected with their own Haki coating.

Nahhh KOL is having sooo much fun with these thumbnails lmao

your argument for the fucked up poweesxaling this late in the story is kidd was a bad character ? lmao

Yo I'm never going to forget that translation of when Kidd shot Big Mom with that beam and she looked at Law and said, " As soon as this gets done tickling me😂" That right there was a violation

Oda's lack of portraying Kid is what's bad writing. Not Kid getting one tapped itself.

I agree that Kid served his purpose. He was also the only other direct competitor to Luffy outside of Blackbeard. Law nor Shanks want to be the King of the Pirates. They are moreso interested in the void century(Law and shanks) and friends/family(shanks)....also they are allies to Luffy and probably won't ever fight each other seriously...though I would pay good money to see Zoro and Shanks get a good sparring session in down the line.

That is why Law is my favorite character. He has the sauce, he has the rizz, he has the drip, he has the sad backstory and most importantly he has the heart. Law is that Dude. He has done so much for the gang, it’d be a crime if we don’t see him in the final war.

Every pirates in the One Piece world does have a goal to become a Pirate King, its not just limited to Luffy. The story of One Piece is we follow Luffy's perspective and adventure to the goal. Kid is like the representative of the other pirates who went after the same goal and failed (which is how we see a lot of them either dead or under a big pirates banner). We didn't see the adventure of other pirates but we see it through Kid's story. A pirate from somewhere trying to make a big name of themselves trying to reach One Piece but was overwhelmed/defeated by another pirate in the end. I'm sure other pirates also have their moment of win and lose before finally gave up. The way to the goal is the same, defeat big names to get the Lode Poneglyph. Only difference is the method to do it.

I've never liked Kid. However, I will rage if something happens to Killer

What’s the OST KOL uses in the video?

I know oda is trying to portray kidd as unluckiest pirate but come on, he's one of supernova of the new generation. I don't like him going down easily. And I hate how the whole fandom is calling him "mid".. it's such a sad thing to witness that I wanna leave this fandom

I think youre jumping the ship too soon. Oda like hyping fight then twisting it at the second half. I dont think kid is done yet especially knowing how odd like to troll

You're so blinded by your biases and your need to meme constantly that it's become nearly unbearable at this point.. and I been watching your reactions and reviews since you first started streaming with fishman island, so I def kno lol

I remember thinking about how kid will be sidelined in race to onepiece

He got caught by Japanese fisherman with red Hair........... Lol comedy gold

In all my years following this community I have never seen even the most die hard Kidd fan say that he had a chance of being pirate king KOL, most of the time what people mean as Luffy's rival is akin to what Shiki was. But putting most of the other points aside, since that would make this post way too long, I dont think Kid losing is bad writting per se, but him not pulling himself back together or even dying is and thats for one single reason, chapter 1k. Oden's prophecy states that the pirates that would come and defeat Kaido would be the ones leading the next gen, and Kid is one of them, so it makes no sense for him to be included in such group that includes the next pirate king and possibly this gen's Whitebeard, but then become a nobody just a few weeks. And the justification for that is Kid being a violent pirate? when people like Rocks, Blackbeard and Kaido are all way more savage than him but are all still legends? To me that sounds like straight up self insert mary sue activity for Shanks ngl, so for the sake of the story I hope Kid bounces back during the Elbaf arc

Chapter 1080 will be epic as hell

You have such good energy and I love your one piece takes. You earned yourself a sub my good sir.

That Sneako dig 😂😂😂

Youve been putting out great content to help out with the break thanks kol

However you wanna spin it, it's bad writing. Shanks somehow having superhuman leaping abilities, despite being a devil fruitless human, and having more power than Kaido or BM, despite being like 10 times smaller is pretty hilarious tbh.

😂😂😂😂 THE BEGINNING THOUGH 💯

The start of this vid, I can't man 😂

So it looks like Oda gave him 3 bil only to show how strong Shanks is, yes.

tbf i can see Usopp or Nami yield to the enemy to save Luffy's life... Not to save THEIR Life, but for Luffy's life i think it's possible

It wouldn’t surprise me if Shanks and his crew save Kid’s crew from drowning and stuck them all on a small dinghy🤣

What was interesting that we saw a short meeting of two one-armed man XD

Saying Kid being removed isnt bad writing because he isn't as good as the Straw Hats is not an argument. This is how badly bias can blind you, either in Shanks praising or Kid slander or both

Cope. It is bad writing, it would be fine if One Piece was a manga where stakes were always high.l, but it isn't. Odaone shots/kills Kidd here but can't do so to countless other characters with less build up. Kidd wasn't going to win this fight no way, but for anyone paying attention all this time, give him a fight before the finisher it's stupid. One shotting makes Shanks look cool sure, but it makes every character before now look even worse. So Shanks can technically just 1 shot Blackbeard all this time and has neglected to do so for years in the story? What a joke. Why didn't Shanks one shot BB at the war? Nothing could have stopped him.

That would be crazy if law is on that boat 😂

Kid should be glad that he managed to point his big gun at Shanks even once haha

So now its a negative that Kid used his head and logic and went after big mom?? instead of being Luffy-like and staying on the roof, which would 100% lead to big mom taking law in like 5 seconds then going back to the roof and killing both. I mean i get people like shanks and dont like Kid, but can we at least not flip everything just to match our views and narrative? i guess thats too much to ask ,especially from someone who thinks pre-gear 5 Luffy is stronger than admirals

Please be Law on that Black beard ship greatest shout I've heard. Oda make it happen. Law + Kuzan= formidable. Plus could prove or disprove a lot of Theory's and sub plots.

The thumbnail got me thinking of Haki Man! - Peso Pete

Can someone please tell me where killer dives in because I’ve read the chapter over and over and I still can’t see it

Its bad writing when characters dont die and bad writing when characters die, makes sense

It has long been known that "bad writing" is something that happens contrary to our expectations.

7:41 where;s that law edit from??

when Toriko ended, all the food luck went into Buggy. This man cant be touched!

I don't think you're being fair to Kid's crew. Zoro was going to sacrifice his life to protect Luffy, and know from Luffy's words that he can't become the Pirate King without his crew. Kid's crew gave up some paper in exchange for their captain's life. His dream doesn't die until he does, so being setback for a while is a small price to pay. Not the best analysis on this imo

It was literally bad writing just for Kid to go after Big Mom…… Kaido hurt his best friend, imprisoned him and everything else and he’s just like oh I’ll take Big Mom. This goes against EVERYTHING Kid has been built up to be and right after he challenges shanks fleet so that “character development” trash goes out the window. Quit justifying this nonsense. Oda has been pretty trash for a while but fangays can’t admit it. In fact Kidd didn’t even kill anyone throughout the war so his ENTIRE CHARACTER was built up for a decade and randomly when he busts out of prison it all goes away for a moment only to come back to get speed blitzed and one tapped by Shanks….. Just call it what it is. The most wasted character potential in the past decade and even you people admit kid is “trash” I agree a trash character and trash writing but I’m waiting on how you guys will justify the One Piece being dirt 😭😭😭😭😭😭

no way this chapter is above 957 where they revealed the yonkos bounties among other crazy things

why does the video freeze at 36 seconds, and only 36 seconds?

the only saving grace kidds crew has is killer

This puts in perspective how beastly Oden was for tanking that Prime Gol D attack. He's definitely around Yonko level, and if not then above Yonko commander

That month long break put things into perspective for Oda it's quite clear things are being cut just look at the amount of jumping around as of egghead island.

I wasn’t ready for that sneako and Charlie comment 😭😭😭

I just wanted to see more about kid. I liked the Law/Kid/Luffy dinamic. But Kid wasnt ever a noble guy, or the strongest or even had a good rivarly with anyone. When I saw him going for shank I just thought "How and will he survive? I hope so..." But win? Never.

Again my boy only lost to the 2 strongest characters in onepice.

Serving under vasco shot is crazy 😂😂😂😂

“BROOK WOULD RATHER…..” 😂😂

Why is this even a topic? Oda hates killing off characters.

nah youre wrong on that ,if kuma had asked for the road poneglyp back at thriller bark they would have definetly given them , luffy surving would take priority , they can always get them back later ,no use in not giving them if otherwise luffy's life gets taken , now they would put up a figh first , but they defintlt would give it up if luffy's life was in danger ,your just capping to find more reason to troll these kid fanboys

Thumbnail is crazy

Song when law pulled up to egghead?

Kidd got betrayed, lost an arm OFFSCREEN to Ben Beckman, Nerfed by Hawkins in his first major fight, needed bombs to beat BM, Right hand man killer ate a smile permanently crippling him, didnt get his revenge on kaido after the fact, got one shotted by shanks after not being able to see him last time and lost his entire crew. It’s crazy to think aswell that kidd got his entire backstory in a SBS and hasn’t even gotten a proper 1v1 fight after being introduced 554 chapters ago. Meanwhile his peers law and luffy had multiple 1v1 fights on screen and bounced by from the minor L’s they took before. He had a rushed character arc in wano aswell. Oda loves puts kid in bad situations it’s getting repetitive. His not a well written character post timeskip at all and overall just disappointing.

But even if you say Law didn't catch a stray here.... he did. Laws goal was to take down Doflamingo, who took over that? LUFFY. Laws was low diffed by Doffy, dude was playing with him. Mind you Doffy was Laws GOAL and he didn't even roll up on the Doffy with his crew, he rolle up on him with Luffy's, and he STILL got dropped. I feel like I can't over state but Rayleigh is VITAL to Luffy's advance. The situation simply is that Luffy got the advanced course while Kid and Law really could only run on their own feet. Yeah they did damage but face it, even when it comes to their own goals, the one winning for them majority of the time is Luffy. I think if Luffy was in the same boat and didn't run into Rayleigh, people would be emphasizing the L in Luffy about as much as people say captain mid.

Died laughing multiple times this vid a banger 😂😂😂

It wasn't bad writing to have Shanks dominate kid n' crew. It _WAS_ bad writing, however, to give Kid & Law 3 Billion Belli Bounties in the first place

They surrendered to save kidds life. Sanji beat up luffy cuz he was scared of bm. Usopp told nami to lie about luffy being King of the pirates. Luffy would have dropped being the pk for sanji overrating the strawhats

Did this man just call kid a tuna? 😂😂😂😂

Woah woah woah. Kid really only harms "innocent" civilians when they mock his dream.

the only reason its kinda dumb is cuz we just saw big mom fight kidd and law for 27 chapters💀💀 and shanks straight one taps from like an islands distance😭😭

imagine shanks does divine departure with TWO HANDS

Would have been awesome to see Damned Punk against Kaido boro breath attack lol

Nah the first 5 seconds of this video got me crying 😂😂

Oda literally built Kidd up to further Shanks and his lore... and I'm okay with it. We don't have to lose Law to have some kind of idea of his power, and we're still not even close. I love it.

What was that penguinz0 video? I'm kinda curious

This video has one of my all time favorite thumbnails.

I think it's great story telling. Kid and Law were set up to show how powerful Luffy and his crew really are in comparison. We've known for a long time that Kid and Law have to combine their power in order in order to match Luffy, and we've seen it twice now in fact. Once with the Pacifista and now with the Yonko. The three of them were meant to show the younger generation overcoming the older generation and now that, that time has passed Kid and Law are now facing off against the peak of the younger generation(BB and Shanks). This is the moment they realize they aren't meant to be Pirate King, and that Luffy is the only one of the three of them that could reach that goal.

ODA made Kidd to be food for shanks. To give us a taste of how powerful shanks is. If it was a random pirate or old enemy the impact wouldn't have hit as hard. We watched kidd fight and grow like luffy but Oda always kept kidd at a distance unlike law cause he knew this was what he was setting up kidd for.

He is going to take Kid under his wing, Whitebeard/Ace Style xD First he kicks his ass, then he makes him join his crew ?)

Shanks to Kid: "You don't even own a Bugatti"

Luffy got one shot by Kaidou, Kid can come back.

Kids crew got this treatment from kaido before but shanks doesn't take prisoners ☠️
