the man of the 100 plans, but nobody said that they must be good plans

[frankcastlefan]

Kuro: plots endlessly
Claws people, friends alike
Has no real friends
Destroys his furniture
Throws a hissy fit

He’s a cat.

[bullwark_of_the_weak]

To this day I think the most obvious joke throughout the arc should've been to gradually demote Kuro from 100 plans, to Kuro of 50 plans, then Kuro of 10 plans and lastly, Kuro of the hastily drawn plan.

[sayonarakid]

Well Oda did a drawing requested by fans on chapter 1090 of Kuro reading a book with some black cats. So at least people didn't forget him

[priyanshagrawal]

I like how in Usopp's arc the antagonist is a man who lies not just to everyone else but most of all himself about his own stupidity. Nicely contrasting it with Usopp who is honest with himself and knows his shortcomings.

[eBuddy]

You know Kuro is good at hiding when even your final spot on the tear-list has him hidden behind the thumbnail of other videos!

[Joemon_]

The only thing that actually sticks in my mind about kuro is his goofy glasses adjustment

[theoverseer]

Kuro poisoning Kaya in the live action is genuinely an improvement

[christianschmid]

I always saw Clawhador as a gifted man who thought of himself as a genius.
He is genuinly clever, but not as clever as he believes.
This led to overcomplicated plans that overlooked obvious flaws, either because he was lost in planing the details, or because he believed in his ability to improvise if necessary.

[CorleoBabar]

The live action really improved Kuro I feel. Not only did he actually succeed in killing Merry, but making it so that he was poisoning Kaya over time made it feel like he truly was enacting a bigger plan.

[kyubi]

This is why I like Kuro in the live action more. He works so much better as a serial killer chasing teenagers around a creepy mansion then as the dumbest master planner in East Blue.

I heard a theory by The Crap Cafe on YT some time ago that I liked
It was stating that Kuro is not only early version of CP9 like you said, he was a CP9 agent like who's who, he is the right age to be on a mission of guarding Gomu Gomu no Mi, he has shown one technique that is very similiar to rokushiki, and his motive would actually make sense
Government wants you dead because you failed a very important mission, you become a pirate, being a pirate is too much of a chaotic life so then you make use of your secret agent skills to get yourself a comfortable life, because he never wanted to be a pirate in the first place, it was out of necessity and Kuro did just ran away, he is still somewhere out there on the loose
I'm not saying that it's 100% truth, but a fun idea I do see as a possibility to expand this character one day

[BlazingBaka]

The saddest part about Kuro is that he's supposed to have so many plans, yet NONE of them was to "just wait until the straw-hats leave" before attacking the village... I swear, He waited all those years as a fake butler but couldn't think about waiting a bit more?

Imagine if he saw Luffy and the rest the first time, stopped, and thought "you know what? These kids might end up ruining my plan... better wait until they leave" and then he wouldn't have Luffy to beat him. Usopp would probably leave with the strawhats anyways, taking the boat just the same.

Literally he could've won if he waited a week or something, it's just sad. that village had NO ONE to defend it otherwise, other than the 3 kids. lol

[thlittleleopard]

In DnD terms - he's basically specced in INT, DEX and STR, but dumped WIS and CON. Glass canon with no impulse control who thinks he's right all the time and doesn't second-guess himself, even when he should. After all, his main attack suits him incredibly well - lashing out at everything but himself.

[LeoWhat]

I think Captain Kuro subconsciously hates himself, he hates pirates, he ended up becoming a pirate, and when he does anything pirate-like he subconsciously sabotage his own plans.

Kuro is conflict of what he wants, survival, and to what he needs, peace. His want for survival is caused by his reputation as a pirate fearing for worst even if he was assumed captured that fear still persist as if something is after him. His need for peace is the goal of what he wants to achieve not to worry about that fear anymore but as soon as he implemented his 3 year plan he found peace unexpectedly as he fully committed to his role to actually liking the idea of being the unassuming Butler to the point that even the readers thought it was genuine.

[daelix]

i like the idea that kuro is a mia cp9 agent, thats why he gets mad seeing his bounty posters, cause thats like a becon to the marines if they see it and reconize him

[_Mirc_]

Kuro actually appeared again pretty recently (like sometime in the past year) on a cover page petting a page.
Maybe indicating that he managed to retire cause he was kinda chilling there.

[Patrick-vqhe]

I think a faster, haki-using Kuro would be an excellent Black Beard Pirate grunt.

[ryukishi]

Wasn't it implied or at least something we were supposed to take for granted that he caused her illness and would have killed her parents had it not happened by luck? Or at least I don't remember anything that speaks against it since her illness, for example, is purposefully cryptic. Though he is also a cat guy, so some luck probably makes sense
