I look into your eyes and I think back to the son of mine
You're as old as he was when I left for war
Will these actions haunt my days? Every man I've slain?
Is the price I pay endless pain?
Close your eyes and spare yourself the view
How could I hurt you?
I'm just a man who's trying to go home
Even after all the years away from what I've known
I'm just a man who's fighting for his life
Deep down, I would trade the world to see my son and wife
I'm just a man
But when does the comet become a meteor?
When does a candle become a blaze?
When does a man become a monster?
When does a ripple become a tidal wave?
When does the reason become the blame?
When does a man become a monster?
Forgive me
(When does a man become a monster?) Forgive me
(When does a man become a monster?) Forgive me
I'm just a man
The ninja and the mech and the dragon having to hang out with each other without Kai is so funny in a tragic way.
Lloyd: What’s your name?
Mech and Dragon: …
Lloyd: How do you know Kai?
Mech and Dragon: ….
Lloyd: Great talk. Okay. Yeah. Nice to meet you, guys?
We also know very little about them other than the fact they are probably not the most upright moral people just because of their circumstances. But I feel like the only information they’d give out is that Kai did everything he could to get home to them. Everything.
Ominously said. But they mean it kindly.
(Context here)
YES YES YES YES YES this is exactly what happened. They would be quiet not out of disrespect but out of awkwardness. Maybe because they were the people Kai was blabbering about while on their journey to the city of temples, and his descriptions of them were a little... overdramatic. Then again, you can't really stop Kai "family man" Smith from bragging about his family (and trying hard not to forget them)
Kai: Oh and don't get me started on my sister, Nya. She's strong, confident, the second best looking in our team if I must say, and did I mention she was the original samurai x? She was able to build all those intricate and complex gadgets at such an early age, and managed to keep it a secret too! Her power over water is also great, and even though she could do better in terms of love interests, I guess Jay is good enough. Oh, and don't forget, she even beat the preeminent when she unlocked her full potential! She's amazing, isn't she?
Rusty and Daidan, not knowing half of what the fuck he's saying: Sure, that's great sweetie.
Kai: It is! Then Lloyd is—
Rusty: O-oh, isn't that the city? I think we're getting close. So. We should focus lest we get off course.
Kai: Ah. Right. I'm sure I can multitask. Lloyd is the green—
I swear to god if monstrosity leaks
I SWEAR TO GOD
I will kill someones in real life
my biggest hear me out will forever be kai from ninjago
With how messy Kai and Jay’s relationship keeps being interpreted by us I’m not surprised we haven’t realised how similar Jay’s current arc of running away from these strange colour coded weirdos, doing very dangerous things on his own, trying to find a path for himself, and overall being an angsty little rat is incredibly similar to how Kai was in the pilots.
Lets not forget how Kai actively ran away from the other three ninja, most likely believed them all to be weirdos and annoying, actively put himself into dangerous situations because of his lack of patience and experience, and was unintentionally finding a path for himself that he actually belongs in.
And now do you remember how it was in the pilots Jay was the one who smacked him over the head each time he did something stupid, was not afraid to keep chasing after him, and was probably one of the biggest reasons Kai got comfortable in the group because of his extroverted nature and how their personalities both clashed yet were so similar?
Now looking at the recent leaks and teasers about season 3, with Kai helping Nya get Jay back, i can’t wait to see their roles switched in such a way. Especially with how similar their personalities are if you actually look at it closely.
Also, and just noting this one down, but Kai was being a mess in the pilots to find Nya, whilst Jay is being a mess to get away from her. Poor girl never gets a break.
No wonder Kai was the first to pick up rising dragon technique mf had a whole ass character arc we haven't seen yet
Painfully real
POV: you’re a Kai fan picking your pfp after May 1, 2025
Do you think Kai took liberties when heading to the Monastery? Do you think he stood infront of a mirror making sure he looked and acted the same before the merge happened? Do you think he cracked more jokes and laughed too hard when he was with Lloyd? Do you think he quietly mumbles the names of the people who helped him leave the realm of monsters in fear of forgetting them? Do you think the reason he talks to himself more is because its become a habit for him? Do you think he was relieved when Nya broke them out of the fear vision, and that he really was back home? Do you think he got deja vu seeing rontu and egalt? Do you think he found the nether space comforting? Do you think the reason he was so calm during everything is because he was desensitized? Do you think he's okay?
Because I don't.
I can't believe you've done this
They aren't coming back, are they?
