One Piece Episode 1112 was a shocker to anime fans. After defeating two Yonko during the Wano arc, Eustass Kidd, Trafalgar D. Water Law, and Monkey D. Luffy went separately. In the latest episode, the former came face-to-face with the Red-Haired Pirates. The two pirate crew clashed against each other, with Shanks annihilating the Kid Pirates. His Divine Departure was enough to send Eustass Kidd flying.
Even though the Kid Pirates suffered a crushing defeat and their captain’s state is unknown, a new fan theory has surfaced, hinting him to be alive. With One Piece’s longevity, fans often create their theories, and Kid being alive, is the latest theory. The theory starts with the little girl in their ship who jumped aside upon Shanks’ Divine Departure.
Eustass Kidd Might Still Be Alive
After the massive impact of Shanks’ Divine Departure, Captain Kidd might be gone for good. But a new fan theory suggests that Eiichiro Oda might have already foreshadowed that the latter is alive. During the Shanks’ offense, there was a little girl on Kid’s ship named Daibu. She had sharp teeth like the Fishmen. She might be related to them and can swim. Kidd and Killer, being Devil Fruit users, would not be able to swim, and she could save them by taking them ashore.

On the other hand, if she is not a Fishman, Eustass Kidd might have an even greater form of support. Apart from being a pirate from the Worst Generation, he is also known for defeating Big Mom. It was previously mentioned that the giants hated her since she destroyed a village on Elbaf and killed one of the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, Jorul.
Even if few giants are loyal to Shanks, others might side with Kid out of their hatred towards Big Mom. Eustass Kidd might not know the Giants, but it may be their way of repaying the debt. He might get their help since he landed the final blow on Big Mom instead of Trafalgar Law. As a result, the giants might know him as the victor and not Trafalgar Law.
Eustass Kidd Had Previously Fought The Red-Haired Pirates
One Piece Episode 1112 saw a rematch between the Red-Haired and the Kidd Pirates. They first encountered each other during the two-year time skip. Challenging one of the Yonko resulted in losing his left arm. Since then, he hated Shanks and always wanted to challenge him in a rematch. Fortunately, he got his chance, but this time, it could be his life instead of his arm. Eustass Kidd has become more potent, yet it is still not enough to defeat Shanks.
Fans have been waiting for a long time for the Red-Haired Pirates captain to make his bow. Now, he is ready to hunt down the One Piece. As One Piece progresses towards its end, the superpowers are getting closer to each other. Even though the fan theory is pretty appealing, nothing is finalized until Eiichiro Oda‘s confirmation.
