Kai’s friendship with the other ninja mean so much to me
Like… the idea that Kai, someone who’s been forced to be an adult as a kid for as long as he can remember, isolated from other kids his age and never being able to from friendships, being able to find new friends in people who are willing to look past his flaws and appreciate him for who he is Makes me want to cry.
I don’t care how much the show wants to paint it as a flaw, Kai being encouraged by the others to let go of the responsibilities that prevented him from being a kid and enjoy life without the stress of work or taking care of Nya is so beautiful and sweet and it’s just UGH.
Kai deserves to be a kid! He deserves a childhood as much as Lloyd or Zane do! He sacrificed everything to make sure Nya got a somewhat normal one and I think it would be amazing if the others gave him that same opportunity even if he’s older now.
I love to headcannon that butterflies remind Kai and Nya of each other bc of this memory
Like Kai or Nya would gaze at a butterfly and think about the other and that’s just so adorable
Wu: You’re violent.
Kai: Yeah but I’m short, so it’s adorable.
sometimes I wonder if I should tell my friends that I have a ‘blog’ about legoes
but then I remember that the average person would never understand the trauma of color coded ninjas
Pondering about how Kai has made his power a part of his identity so much that it’s become a point of complete toxicity to himself . Without his power, he spirals into an immense self destructive phase, undervaluing himself to a total zero.
We continuously see how highly he depends on his powers, titles (green ninja, fire maker, etc), people (wu, social followers) to determine his self worth. Not to mention his cocky and prideful persona in front of others is likely a ‘safety system’ he derived for himself so he is not taken advantage of, or left behind (credits to his childhood). After all, confidence and pride (to a certain extent, of course) are considered attractive qualities to look up to, admire, and not necessarily to mess with.
He’s constantly trying to do as much as he can in so many different things, trying to prove his worth. Because he does not know who he is without them. Without people. Without titles. Without powers. He believes that just truly being himself is not of any value to those around him, and that if he cannot be of service he is absolutely worthless.
life lessons with kai: red ninja tells you his favorite phrase
Do you think Kai had an offscreen panic attack at the beginning of Hunted because of Jay’s mental state
1) leader cole for sure
2) Kai hasn’t lost this trait but I want more scenes of him being his adorable affectionate self
It’s well known that as the seasons went on, Jay lost the ‘inventor’ side of his personality, but do any of you think that there were other character traits that the ninja had that disappeared over time? Are there traits that disappeared that you wish had remained?
I needed to do this, that's all. (I also wanted to do one about Kai's hair but could find the picture of him in anime style 😔)
Let my baby shine in next season please 😔
(If he looses again his power again, I am going to commit arson 👁️👄👁️🕯️)
