Something I’ve Noticed Is That Kai Only Puts On His Egotistical Persona When He’s With A Stranger

Something I’ve noticed is that Kai only puts on his egotistical persona when he’s with a stranger or someone he barely knows. He pretends he only cares about himself when he wants to make a first impression because that’s a personality that makes most people leave him alone. He acts like he’s a big shot around fans because that’s what they expect him to be. He pretends he’s the self centered one because it perfectly hides how much he hates himself. It makes him look less “weak”. He openly laments how he couldn’t protect anyone in season 11 because he’s at a low point and lets it slip through the cracks. He’s a genuinely kind and loving person but he assumes that if he shows that he’ll be ridiculed.

Ever since he was a kid and had to raise himself and Nya he’s been prickly and vicious because otherwise people will take advantage of him. It’s a coping mechanism derived from never having a stable parental figure that made him feel safe.

yeah everyone focuses about nya’s connection to nyad, but if nya is technically one with the ocean, and nya is basicslly a part of kai, isnt kai basicslly connected to nyad too?? like wouldn’t it be awesome if human nya still had the ability to talk to nyad after she unmerged and stuff?? And since nya can do it kai could kinda do it too??

like if nya could talk to nyad as separate beings, but still be connected, through their magic? and kai maybe not being able to talk to nyad but being able to feel her, embrace her because after all, nyas blood is within him too, and so with alongside shared blood comes shared bonds, right?

can you imagine kai feeling upset or maybe lonely, nya not being there bc maybe she’s on a mission so he sits alongside the ocean, nyad joining him and creating little jellyfish that float around kai, to cheer him up?

can you imagine kai and nyad dancing across the shore, nya secretly recording them from a distance?

and maybe whenever kai goes near the ocean, nya and nyad can both feel his warmth and so there’s an array of fish and various sea creatures that suddenly appear alongside kai, kinda making the ocean a bit more magical?? idk I think It would be such a beautiful concept

Life Lessons With Kai: Red Ninja Tells You His Favorite Phrase

HI IM HERE TO REMIND YOU OF THIS SCENE:

Kai and cole look at each other with determined as hell looks , and come to a conclusion.

now, let me remind you this isn’t just any simple conclusion. it’s a conclusion to sacrifice themselves for a mission on a crazy video game land they don’t even know will work

there are two ways trust is working here behind the scenes:

1: the trust between kai and cole

2: and the trust they have in the team

now the first one is so much more significant because

1)all the ninja had sacrificed themselves and trusted the team so the second way isn’t unique. every ninja has immense trust in their team and it’s shown throughout each of their important sacrifices

2) the first one reason, that’s what made this scene more unique then some other scenes (i am NOT saying more important, just more UNIQUE. unique does not mean something is better than the other. It just means there were different circumstances. don’t attack me) since it shows two characters simply nodding and having the same goal, the exact same strategy/idea in mind because remember kai and cole proceeded with their actions and it was like the other knew exactly what the other was going to do from which car the other would bring down to where they planned to explode/crash.

it also shows the amount, the IMMENSE AMOUNT of belief/trust kai and cole have in EACHOTHER. I mean, they didn’t even need to say anything. they just know. this is the main reason why I loved this scene SO much: it was a non-communicated-just-one- look sacrifice that was executed perfectly.

more ninja headcannons (cole-centered) <3

cole definitely paints on the gang when he’s stressed out or for fun

like one day kai and nya are wearing sleeveless and they want cole to paint matching animals across their arms

or jays sleeping and cole paints a mustache on him

or maybe zane wants to spice up his apron so now it’s covered in coles art

or lloyd wants to get better at painting so they both experiment on kai’s back bc kai loves being painted on

it’s like a stress reliever and a fun hobby at the same time that cole loves doing and he’s spectacular at it too

or maybe like one day cole is really upset and the ninja are like cmon guys let’s paint him instead and in less than an hour cole is covered in dragons and flowers and monkeys and chickens and all sorts of things that they all take pictures of and laugh about and coles forgotten why he was sad in the first place

Headcanon's time

Nya is a bad cook.

After joining the ninja team, she did not really want to open up, so she tried to fit into some girly stereotypes.

Wear dresses more often, apply cosmetics and perfume.

Be careful and restrained.

Nya thought that if she showed her real self, she would be judged or even ridiculed for such behavior, so when it was her turn to cook, Kai always came to her aid.

Spending time with Zane helped him break bad cooking habits and improve his skill. ("Kai, don't be afraid to spend food, we always have money to buy another cabbage", "You cook well, but add more salt and bay leaves for fragrance. )

And every time at dinner, the ninja and Sensei would eat delicious food prepared by "Nya" while mistakes in the amount of seasoning, overcooked salmon, and simply awful tea made by "Kai".

Even though her brother didn't care about the comments about "his" mistakes, if Nya was so comfortable, she herself felt guilty and ashamed.

For several nights she tried to learn how to cook, injuring her fingers and cooking utensils, but the result was only bitter bread, undercooked chicken, and tears of disappointment.

Kai then helped her clean up, hugged and reassured her, because "What difference does it make whether you know how to cook or not, you are my sister and I will accept any of you. Even if you accidentally send someone."

This little support eventually made Nya tell the truth to the team, and despite her fears, they accepted it.

Even supported.

Cole: You know, I'm not good at cooking either. Why are soups so complicated?!

Sensei Wu: Tea is not as easy as it seems at first glance.

Jay: Even if you're a bad cook, don't worry, I like you even like this. UAGH.. Well, I mean, I like you and...EM. NO, I MEAN THAT-

As a result, Nya didn't cook anymore, everyone quietly ate Kai's delicious food, and Jay then got a spoon in the nose after "Kai, why is the salmon overcooked again."

Zane: The salmon is actually cooked just fine.
