About the lack of reaction for Kid... I don't really mind that much, to be honest.
Was there any reaction at all when Stein vanished with Marie? When he collapsed in the BREW arc? Other than Spirit, I don't think anyone gave him a damn, both in the manga and in the real world. He's been gone for a freaking 18 or so chapters - so Kid fans, I think you can hold out for a few months? At least there's panels with him, from what I've heard, not like Stein, where his name was barely even mentioned. So I don't really have a problem with Kid for now. Spoiler:

Of course, there's also the possibility that this is all JUST ACCORDING TO KEIKAKU and the situation with Kid is really a Good Thing in Disguise. Doesn't explain why the Thompsons aren't in perpetual hysterics, but...

He didn't really claim to be an adult, but rather he said he grew a little, and in essence through his fight with Mifune he matured a lot. And we all know his big proclamations were projections of his own insecurities. You saw at the end of his duel, not a jokester, but a serious swordsman. Compared to his other encounters with Mifune, it was on a completely different level. Sure he'll prolly still make jokes infront of people because that's who he is, but I highly doubt he's going to go openly confront people like he was doing earlier in the series, and parading his winning streak/looking for fights. And the fact that he had a somewhat serious face when he says he's grown up a little, means he still knows he has a lot more room to grow, but he's gonna take it a step at a time, and not immediately say he's grown up completely.

The thing I like most about this chapter is that they didn't drag it out, I thought the pacing was wonderful. |

That was a pretty big plot-twist there, it makes sense in a way, the person least expected to be affected by the Kishin is actually the worst one, thus the reason he is a double agent.
Great seeing Marie and Stein together though, Marie's abilities are pretty crazy.
