This.is.beautiful
You guys know what Kai is?! A sweet man who lost his parents with no explanation, causing him to have to raise his little sister by himself. And you know what? He did a damn good job! Of course Nya has her flaws but let’s not forget that she was raised by her older brother, older brother who may only be one or two years apart!
Kai is a sweet man who in the first episode- Was concerned about training in a monastery because it was a place of peace.
Kai is a lovely man who simply uses his ego as a coping mechanism of some sort, it’s not healthy, yes, but he has been trained that if he doesn’t act that way, no one will give him the time of day!
Kai has layers, he’s not a 2d angry character:tm:
Kai isn’t stupid, he was the one to figure out that Lloyd was the green ninja, even though he was dead set on taking up the role. He pushed aside his pride and became a guardian.
Kai is wise beyond his years, which has been shown multiple times.
I know Kai isn’t a fan favorite, and that’s probably because most people don’t look so deep into characters like I do rip, but Kai is honestly an amazing character and if I didn’t have self control I could type about him for much longer.
THANK YOU.
I think I found my soulmate though.
So by now, most of us know about the scene where in order to save Lloyd, the ninja run the risk of draining or losing all of their powers. I’ve seen a lot of people hating on Kai for his opinion during the scene, but I do think he was somewhat- not entirely, however- justified.
First off, Kai is scared of not being enough. We saw that a lot in S1, when he was trying so hard to become the Green Ninja, even to the point of choosing between saving Lloyd or the Fangblade in E10. I think this comes from his background. Kai comes from a small town out in the middle of nowhere, and from very simple beginnings.
Since his parents were never there, he had to step up and take control over his life. He probably was under a lot of pressure, since he had to be there for Nya as well as run the blacksmith shop as well as take care of himself, too. We know from season 7 that Ray and Maya disappeared sometime around when Nya was 3 or 4, because that was when the painting was made and Kai said they disappeared around that time.
So that left a 5-6 year old Kai taking care of a 3-4 year old Nya, assuming one of the villagers took care of them until their teens.
Then Kai met Wu, and became the Master of Fire. He was important, he had a set role, he found his place. His power gave him all that. So I can understand that he wouldn’t want to lose it, because it made him into what he is now and gave him something more than blacksmithing for the rest of his life.
Secondly, Kai knows someone has to be the voice of reason here. They’re facing a seemingly unbeatable evil, they’re going to need to be at full strength. If they lose their powers, and the tea doesn’t work, then how will they protect Lloyd? After all, that is first and foremost their main job. The ninja are the protecters and teachers of the Green Ninja. Kai knows this, he unlocked his True Potential by realizing it. He’s saying this out of concern for Lloyd, because he knows that without their powers they won’t be able to protect their friend.
Lastly, I know a lot of people see Kai’s thought process here as selfish and unlike his character, but I think it’s the opposite. Kai cares so much about Lloyd, the show has made that perfectly clear that he sees the Green Ninja as a little brother. He would never have said what he did if he hadn’t been thinking of Lloyd and everyone else’s safety. Yes, Kai is scared of losing his powers. But not in a selfish way. He’s scared he won’t be able to protect his brother when the time comes.
However, Kai is not entirely in the right for hesitating on his decision, I understand that. But I think he had his reasons for his thoughts.
And that’s my analysis of Kai’s thought process during the “Save Lloyd” scene in ep 84. Let me know what you guys think!
This song is pretty obvious as to why it belongs to Bakugou, it is dedicated to him. I think this song was actually pretty well done, and represents him well enough without going too deep. It keeps a steady flow of his thought process, for at the very least the first and second season.
~Top Lyrics~
“Grenadier braces on my wrist, I’m about to pull the pin
Come at me with all your might or I’ma melt off all your skin
Howitzer impact if I’m pissed, bitch I told you I’ma win
Bitch, get back before I blast, I said I’ll do it again wit’ a grin”
Again this relates back to Bakugou’s thought process and personality. Whether it’s to villains or competing with fellow classmates. Referring back to the topic of how he’s there to win, and perhaps believes that “This is my world”.
~Top Lyrics~
“This is my world
Oh you took a wrong turn
Now you’re stuck in my world
Trust me this is gonna hurt
Fire it up and watch it burn
This is my world”
I believe this song shows how much he’s willing to win and fight. He wants all of his opponents to give it their all when fighting him, and he in return he will give it his all. Besides his… slight ego… he does actually practise and train so much in order to maintain a great body daaamn status of combat skills. Or hero skills in general.
~Top Lyrics~
“I’m crankin’ up on the throttle
Victory is mine
Show you the harder the battle
The harder I fight
I’ve come too far to quit
Step back I’m goin’ in
I’m crankin’ up on the throttle
This is how legends are made”
I know, I know. You can kill me later for adding this song, I need to finish my tea first. But come on, did anyone see this song popping up here? Like the past few songs this relates back to his personality and thought process. I mean Bakugou might even direct this song towards Midoriya specifically, other classmates, villains and etc. By showing that he will beat them, and he is never done fighting to succeed.
~Top Lyrics~
“You tryna dethrone me from spot on number one
But you India you lose, so best think you haven’t won
When I’m through with you
We’re gonna be completely fuckin’ done
‘Cause we only just begun”
We’re getting a bit deeper into his story now. This song involves locking everyone out, and some other deeper and angsty memos. This can relate to Bakugou getting captured, or about people turning against him and not believing in him, and things such as this. Just a more inside look to how he views and reacts to what’s happening to him. Overall I think this is a really good song as well, it’s got a good flow and beat.
~Top Lyrics~
“I think I’m losing my mind
Trying to stay inside the lines
It’s like I’m running in place
How you keep staying the same?
Baby, I, I guess I’m something different
And I’m okay with that
I can’t fake no more smiles
That shit gon’ drive me mad
I’m focused on the future
Don’t care about nothin else”
I thinks this song can include of how he reacts to Midoriya suddenly having a quirk. Or even Midoriya surpassing him in ways, which he doesn’t like. This can also include anything that he believes is his fault, such as All Might’s retirement and his capture. Perhaps the lyrics might not fit with him well enough, but I just think the meaning behind the song does.
~Top Lyrics~
“Don’t cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Now I’m slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace
So please, please
Could you find a way to let me down slowly?”
I’ve seen a few AMVs with this song and him included. In my opinion this shows how he’s trying to make it up to what he thinks he’s done wrong. Such as him believing he’s the cause All Might’s retirement poor boi don’t cry, getting captured, people thinking he’s a bit of a villain and just destructive and etc. Along with his beautiful character development!
~Top Lyrics~
“For all of the light that I shut out
For all of the innocent things that I doubt
For all of the bruises I’ve caused, and the tears
For all of the things that I’ve done
All these years
For all of the sparks that I stomped out
For all of the perfect things that I doubt
I’ll be good, I’ll be good”
Okay, so I chose this song for a few reasons. For one this song is pretty explicit with the swearing, and perhaps shows a slightly possessive Bakugou side to the one he loves and trying to show how much he loves them. Along with how his s/o needs to know that they are his, and his alone. Which of course he also knows he belongs to his s/o too, and them alone.
~Top Lyrics~
“Hands on your body, I don’t wanna waste no time
Feels like forever even if forever’s tonight
Just lay with me, waste the night away with me
You’re mine, I can’t look away, I just gotta say
I’m so fucking happy you’re alive”
Another song for his s/o, showing the comparison between them and again, how much he truely loves them. If your lucky to steal Bakugou’s heart, and he’s lucky to steal yours, get ready for an interesting relationship. He may not be great with words, but he knows how to treat his s/o properly when needed to. Bakugou might not say it, but he adores and admires his s/o greatly. They are Bakugou’s true and beautiful weakness to making him a soft boi.
~Top Lyrics~
“I’m a rough boy
Around the edges
Gettin’ drunk and falling into hedges
She’s my weakness
Fuckin’ genius
Swear to god and I’m not even superstitious”
This song is dedicated to Bakugou from his s/o. Since he is pretty feisty, but damn does he make just about everyone stare. I mean he may be loud and the king of explosions, but from what I’ve witnessed, most of the fandom find Bakugo to be hot in more than one way.
~Top Lyrics~
“‘Cause baby, oh my, well it’s unfair
Looking like that, make a gentleman stare
Oh my, well it’s unfair
Looking like that, make a gentleman stare”
A/N - Sup, I’m just bored and want to make playlists. Requests I might do, dependingly. Again I’m just doing this freely.
YES. SOMEOME MAKE MORE KAILOR FAN ART.
The handsome ones
I really love bottom Bakugou (in all ships, but mostly kiribaku)! Not that Top Bakugou is bad or anything I just prefer bottom! I’m trying to find bottom Bakugou fics on ao3 but most of the time I accidentally read one of top Bakugou! It usually isn’t a problem when I’m searching art since non-international kiribaku fans are very specific using kiribaku instead of bakukiri :0 Do you have any recommendations with angst / smut? I’d really appreciate it !
Well… Almost all the Japanese doujinshis are Kiri/Baku.I think the older the fic, the most common top!Bakugou, because Kirishima was not so developed on canon at first. But now that we know better how they work together, I’m certain that more and more people think Kiri has bakugou wrapped in his little finger…xD and also… bakugou works well as tsundere bottom (just..read…smash…they joke about that constantly….) and with all the really cliche scenes of restraint… (like..omg..the lime monster? totally H-material).
ok…now recommendations… angst + smut in the same fic? you sure are making things difficult for me here xD
Let me see…
Courage - this one was completed this week! :D was a nice reading
Touch therapy - Kaminari is a bit OOC..but… is an enjoyable fic eighter wayI let you go, hoping that you’d come back - This was in one of my previous rec lists. is slow burn..but they got there.
cutting me deep - You wanted angst? really? HERE YOU HAVE! Let the pain embrace you.I search with I had read under the tag “angst”, but I’m sure is more under the hurt/comfort
I agreed. KAI IS SO UNDERRATED
Remember when Kai put a child’s life above his own ambition and unlocked his true potential aka who he really was and it was the most beautiful and meaningful moment in tv history
I mean look at this
Look
At
THIS.
LET US SHOW KAI’S FACE. HE’S ALWAYS THE LAST ONE.
We’re all scared. Let’s hope for the best.
me when I think about skylor being in season 9 but then that voice at the back of my head reminds me that the hagemans suck and don’t really care about her and have dismissed every opportunity to give her more storyline which makes me realise she’s probably gonna be shoved into the background again:
Oh Kai... #LEGO #LEGOninjago #ninjago #ninjagoKai #ToE
I recommend you should watch it again (At least if you want to) the only thing is, Season 7 was written by a different writer so it could be a bummer season for you. But I’m sure that S8 will go beyond your expectations.
is ninjago still relevant or am I just that dumbass who gets into things way too late
