Mental Dumping Ground

So I believe that during chapter 13 of kaiju no.8 the game, the entire build up of the chapter was Kafka overworking himself and his body in the dimensional gates right?

I think I know why 🤣🤣

So like the entire time he's saying things like "I have to do this." "I can't stop now" While he is VISIBLY hurting himself with the transition energy.

However, while this is happening, he is still keeping that positive go lucky attitude to his batch mates and friends to keep them motivated. This is where the lines "Now you're here I feel much more energetic!" From a lot of the other officers he talks to makes sense! He's trying to keep everyone motivated and on task in order to kill the vanguards.

I believe that the majority of Kafka's mindset being; he has to push himself to the brink. Is rooted in the fact he always pulls other down.

In every single chapter, he has been told to hold back and not transform unless told to do so. And letting the others protect him. This is where his insecurities lie! He can't let others do things for him because he feels like dead weight. He already knows the extent of his kaiju and how he had to prove himself. But he's still trying to show he can be helpful. This inevitably leads to his downfall and submitting to Kaiju A's will.

I also theorise this was apart of Kaiju A's plan all along! Banking on the fact Kafka would step in some way or another after witnessing his resistance to his power in Dubai. I'm not quite sure what Kaiju A was trying to do in Dubai. But it's DEFINITELY related to why he needs/takes him during chapter 13.

I don't think Kafka was the target from the very start but he was definitely noticed and Dimensional Kaiju A (or DKA) included him in its plan to take over the next world. Probably bc the other kaiju (1, 2, 6 and the plant one) were before Kafka became 8 and we haven't seen 9 as a dimensional kaiju so DKA might not know of his existence until then. OR wasn't sure if he was there until the defeat of dimensional number 6.

I have a lil theory that DKA is actually a version of Meireki Kaiju that either absorbed either a kaiju with ability to travel dimensions or a combination of different absorbed kaiju might have resulted in this ability.

It might be interested in gaining more transitional energy and establishing new, permanent portals to new worlds is the key to it. Opening those 7 giant portals could have been a ploy to weaken the enemy since it seems to know of CLOZER (just being aware someone/something is resisting). I wouldn't be surprised it kinda figures that those pesky humans always try to push back and tiring them as much as possible is The Way.

Either way this definitely is leading to interesting possibility for chapter 14 and maybe even 15.

earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

BONUS:

By contrast, the more delicate, fragile Cinderellas tend to be the isolated ones, who are all alone with the stepfamily (and sometimes a weak-willed father too). These include the obvious examples, like Angelina in La Cenerentola, Yanina Zhejmo in the 1947 Russian film, or Lesley Ann Warren and Brandy in their respective Rodgers and Hammerstein versions (with the latter's character arc revolving around gaining new courage and self-esteem). But I would also include Leslie Caron's Ella in The Glass Slipper: even though she's hot-tempered, she's very vulnerable too, and she's one of the most isolated of all Cinderellas, since the townspeople disdain her.

*Kafka lays sprawled on his stomach with buns thrown all over him*

Okonogi: this is the comedy police, the joke's too funny

Hoshina: I'M NOT GOING BACK TO JAIL! *pulls out a glock*

Iharu: Stole a hummer. He wasn't in the best of mindsets...

Haruichi: I mean hes the son, if not heir to, a tech company. For all we know the gossip tabloids are always all over him and its just become white noise at this point

Kikoru: same vein as Haruichi.

AI to write your novel is wrong

Tartini was a composer and violin teacher and no one respected him, he was generally broke, and he started having weird dreams in which the devil asked him to teach him violin

despite being catholic tartini agreed - although everything told him this was a bad idea

so he taught the devil violin in his dreams and when he had taught him everything he knew the devil offered him payment, he played an original composition in his dream

Tartini woke up weeping and struggled to write it down

we have a historical version of "couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, this is just its tribute", and the song he wrote down made him "Sonata in G Minor, aka the devil's trill" it's usually played by 2 violinists because it's evil difficult,

now imagine you make a deal with the devil to write your novel, he writes it but only lets you read it in a dream and you have to transcribe it from memory the next day.... 150k of the best prose and plot you've ever seen in your life and you have to remember it
