[It doesn't take a genius to tell that Kid takes being the son of Lord Death seriously; the point might have been lost on him if not for the tie Shiro makes to the value of learning.
The Kishin, who inspired only dread, terror, and fear as far as his madness reached, had a shocking connection with himself and his father. It was at first unbelievable. And then came the inevitable question: If it was true, then why were they so different? Was Kid one day to fall and become just like the Kishin? Or was he - with his disconnected Sanzu lines and all - created incomplete, brought into being flawed so that he, too, could not become so great a danger to the world?
But if he was created incomplete so he could learn...
It's too difficult for Kid to conceive of becoming a god who did not achieve perfection, that perfection is weakness, so instead:]
Humans don't need a tyrant. That's not what a reaper is.
