Shanks saw that Kidd was gonna go too far and he put a stop to that immediately.
Had Kidd just challenged Shanks to a duel instead of going for the goon kills, he likely would've had at least some form of actual fight with Shanks.

I'm pretty this is meant to be an angry/pissed off Shanks attack, not a casual one shot.
So an Angry Shanks with Hao infusion one shot Kidd, not a casual and chill Shanks.
Kidd still got slumped, but at least it was 'cause he pissed Shanks off with his ruthlessness and not Shanks deciding to do it for the lols.

Like the best comparison I can make is if you pissed off Kaido and he used a Hao infused Thunder Bagua. It's a one shot of course, but it wasn't like a normal bonk to the head type of one shot.

Also, I don't think Kidd and his crew are permanently out, they'll likely comeback later on after this humbling event.

Definitely, but I don't think Oda would do that after building up Kidd this much (as much as Snook wants it to happen lol).

It's the endgame, no mf going out now is coming back if you ask me. Only people who were out before it-

Luffy literally made a comeback three times in one arc after being slumped out each time.

That's the MC though - he don't count
That's almost what Oda said- he thought Kid would be the Law of the story but Law somehow replaced him as the fan favorite and became a main character for a while.

And I wish that was half the case tbh because I really don't WANT to dislike Kid but the way he's put out is just bad. Part of me wishes he did more/had actual time to show us stuff. But all the dude did was be underwhelming
- 6,451
- 6,547
I'm just saying, Kidd could very well make a comeback in the same arc or in a later arc.
- 4,781
- 7,393
In the same arc 100%
If he doesn't make it back in Elbaf he's probably done. Not dead, just done. It's that or the final war

Kidd got giga humbled, but we shouldn't treat this as him being gone forever when Oda did those "defeated" events before.

Please god make this man's word come true. I don't want more useless craptain mid screentime

Now that translations have come out and I've gotten a better understanding of the chapter, I feel like this is more evidence of how Shanks is one of the only pure-hearted pirates in the series. Sure, he can use lethal force without hesitation when necessary, but he doesn't start fights with the World Government the way Luffy does. He just goes around having fun and protecting people under his flag. Here, he defeated Kidd not to steal his ponoglyphs, but to protect the ships that would've been destroyed by Kidd's attack. While some people might feel sad that Kidd's gone, remember he's killed anyone who's mocked his dream of being King of the Pirates and even crucified pirates because he deemed them too weak. And he was gonna slaughter all the people on those ships without hesitation. He is absolutely not a hero, and personally, I think Shanks was right to end him since Kid and his crew wouldn't bring anything positive to the world. Point is, Shanks is a kind-hearted badass who deserves to find the One Piece alongside Luffy.

I've been considering that perhaps the reason why Shanks' attack was so much more effective is that his Haoshoku Haki is more potent than other characters. So far, he's the only character whose Haoshoku Haki has actually been capable of damaging the surrounding around him when he damaged the Moby Dick, an extremely sturdy ship that had been sailing for many years. So when Shanks infuses that powerful Haoshoku Haki into his blade, it becomes far more potent than regular Haoshoku Haki infusion. You guys think I'm onto something?

yea makes sense, and we know kaidos burst of emotion when hes drunk boosts his haki so maybe shanks also got a boost because he was mad? orrrr hes just built different

I think it'd make up for the fact that he doesn't have a devil fruit. Maybe he's comparable to the other Emperors in his base state, but he's got the edge over them with his Haoshoku Haki infusion. That'd be interesting.

yeah every yonko got a strong df makes sense the one that doesnt has the best haki
speaking of dfs do you think when they look for an admiral they look for someone with a logia or do they give him it, because 5 admirals all logia we need an explanation (well sengoku isnt a logia but you get it)

Mfw Shanks doesn't fight by imbuing Advanced Armament and ACoC in his toes and shooting it at people like Boa Hancock
