guess what kn8 Iām not quite done w you
here is which DnD class and species i think each character would be - based on vibes and extrapolation of canon, not strictly the canon itself bc otherwise they would all be fighters
so (buckle up bc this is a longer one)
MY GOAT CONTINUES TO GOAT š£ļøš£ļøš£ļøš£ļø
so like iāve said before i miss when we had more fan-selected character theme songs/playlists so i made some for the shinomiya family (incl. narumi)
isaoās and hikariās are obviously much shorter than narumi and kikoruās because they have less screen time. iām not super happy w kikoruās yet, feels incomplete, but if anyone has suggestions lmk! each playlist is supposed to match their vibe beyond just the specific lyrics of the song, for example isaoās playlist is almost entirely much older songs, bc heās an older guy
(if kikoruās is still under a different name iām sorry i canāt seem to change it)
We still need to talk about how crazy it is that Reo calls Akashi āSei-chanā its so funny I love it the Captain of the Miracle Gen joins your team and automatically becomes your captain too despite all of you being older than him and has a notable menacing aura and a king complex and ankle breaks everyone on court even though theyāre like twice his height and threatens to hurt people and gouge his own eyes out and Reo looked at All Of That and was like š„° šāØSei-chan!š„°šāØ hes such a trooper

not now kitten. daddy only planned the first half of his wip, and now he has to figure out what the fuck to do for the other half.
you know, the kaiju no. 8 b-side is great and all (i still think it should have been incorporated into the main manga, that mightāve fixed some pacing issues, boo publishing deadlines), but i feel like i donāt see that much discussion digging into why narumi hates people caring more about effort than results (maybe iāve just missed it, or maybe itās obvious to people and spelling it out in an extremely long rant is unnecessary but whatever)
like, in my mind, the very pragmatic thought process of āresults are the only things that matter, effort is inconsequentialā is a conviction that narumi hides behind rather than something he actually believes deep down - the manga, b-side and even kn8 game all include content that shows that narumi (not so) secretly works very, very hard. the b-side shoves that in your face, actually. itās also a very immature take, one that narumi developed as an actual child. like, of course effort matters. itās what allows you improve. skill alone wonāt get you far. plus, trying something difficult and pushing through it is a skill in itself.
but for narumi, itās easier - or maybe even psychologically essential - to hide behind the belief that effort means nothing, because if effort *does* mean something, then he has to acknowledge and sit with the fact that it was *his* effort specifically that meant nothing to others as a child, because *he* meant nothing to others. the families of the kids he outcompeted didnāt care whether their kid was the best, they just wanted to support and love their child. but nobody did that for narumi: nobody cared if he tried, nobody cared if he worked hard, no one even cared that he was the best - because no one cared about *him*.
that must be absolutely soul crushing to think about - iād run from that thought too if iād grown up like that. so rather than live the lonely narrative of āliterally nobody loved me enough to look at me no matter how good i wasā, he created the narrative āthe world is stupid for caring more about whether you try than if you succeedā to explain his life, and holds onto that narrative like his life depends on it.
iām not saying narumiās conviction is entirely invented/self-protecting. if you try and still canāt produce results, then you donāt belong in his division (because youāll fucking die), and i do believe he doesnāt care about someoneās manners or grace or cleanliness. but i donāt believe heās being entirely honest with himself about why he hates being seen working hardā¦it must be humiliating to try so, so hard and have no one care, and he lived like that for all his formative years.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT ABOUT ISAO AND HOW HES NOT NECESSARILY ALL WISE AND SMART but this post is already too long so iām gonna make a separate one
āYOU SING BUT THEY USE THEIR MOUTHS TO EATā AABRIA WHAT IF I MARRIED YOU i could think about all the implications and connotations of this exact phrasing of human life and greed and fear forever
*A LOUD CRASH*
Hasegawa: What's going on now-
*What he sees as soon as he arrives*
so real i love those dumbass siblings - two stubborn prodigies who refuse to lose and have kaiju-sized egos
you know what i miss? fan-selected character theme songs. where did they go? iām talking the percy jackson era of viria-art youtube videos, or even longer character playlistsā¦i just donāt see them much anymore BRING THEM BACK. TELL ME WHAT MUSIC REFLECTS THIS CHARACTERāS INTERIORITY

just finished the kaiju no.8 manga and it is deeply funny to me that the epilogue mentions that no.12 is compatible with soshiro's brother.
hoshina soshiro is probably the coolest and most competent character in the entire story, and the one of biggest chips on his shoulder is that he's never once managed to best his prodigy brother. it's like a final fuck you to him from the narrative to be like, "and the kaiju that was technically the better version of no.10 (soshiro's numbers weapon) is compatible with soichiro." šš
i know that it mentions they're not sure they'll ever make numbers weapons out of those kaiju 'cuz they're sentient, but i hope they do it for no.12 and that soichiro wields it. i hope it has two tails instead of one, like soshiro's no.10 does. soshiro would be so mad. it would be so funny.
would 100% watch a spin off of just them GIVE ME THE COMPLICATED SIBLING RELATIONSHIPS GIMMMEEEE
Good morning from silly loser boy Narumin and his papa Isao š
Source: Kaiju No. 8 Volume 11 extra
ugh the need to explore their relationshipā¦isao was so distant with Kikoru, canāt help but wonder what was he like with this idiot
kind of vague spoilers for the wizard the witch and the wild one (maybe)
but Iāve been re-listening to it and Suvi calling ame out on being āindiscreetā and fixing a spiritās statue instead of focussing on their task is making me go crazyā¦ok book 4 parallels, i didnāt even pick up on that during my first listen
father and son my heart
ok so iāve been like, deep into kaiju no. 8 for a few months now. canāt shake it. and yeah itās a super fun watch and has super compelling characters but i absolutely *cannot* get over the wild lore implications and contradictions š and this isnāt a criticism bc insane worldbuilding is not what kaiju no. 8 is for but likeā¦
1. Mina has a pet kaiju. A full tiger kaiju that she cuddles in her house and helps her kill other kaiju. Already crazy. But even more crazy is that, despite this, for some reason, the idea of another kaiju (Kafka) doing the same is a completely new and unheard of thingā¦like ofc itās a risk and there would be very intense discussions about having a kaiju officer but the fact that thereās precedent for ally kaiju isnāt mentioned once!!
2. This one is a long one: the fact that japan is apparently a kaiju supernation and the rest of the world is, in comparison, fairly kaiju-safe. The implications for this are craaaaaazyā¦like how does the rest of the world handle the idea that one country essentially has super soldiers? That can level cities (mina)? And super dangerous technology? I find it hard to believe that they would just be chill about it. you just know the US would want to get its hands all over those weapons for its own reasons. Izumo Tech and companies like it basically have a global monopoly on the most powerful and dangerous resources in the world, and you can bet making them is expensive as hell. Is Izumo Tech funded by the Japanese government? But where the hell is the government getting the money from? Japan canāt have many reliable exports because their shit keeps getting destroyed by massive Kaiju all the timeā¦a country thatās essentially constantly at war and constantly rebuilding canāt have a super great economy, but the Japan we see in the anime and manga looks wealthy as hell. And they keep having the money to rebuild. In my mind, this all only makes sense one way: Izumo Tech make mad bank by selling super weapons to other countries. Kaiju fibre is their ace-in-the-hole unlimited resource. Other countries pay them crazy amounts to a) keep the Kaiju occupied and b) sell them Kaiju weapons. Which makes you wonder just how devastating war is in matsumotoās world. Maybe Iām stretching too much but seriously i cannot think of another way a country the size of Japan, constantly facing kaiju, could finance such high expenses.
3. THE JSDF, INCLUDING THE JSGDF, EXIST IN THIS UNIVERSE. THAT IS WILD. The name and existence of the real-life JSDF, or the Japan Self Defence Force, is a direct consequence of Japan losing WW2. The Americans disbanded the Japanese military and forced them to sign a treaty saying the country would never have an army again. But then Communist China started getting powerful, and Japanās not too far from the (then) USSR either. So the Americanās softened the treaty: Japan could have armed forces purely for āSelf Defenceā (though this was often interpreted loosely). This is why the Japanese army is called the āDefence Forceā. It had a different name before WW2 that it would have kept if Japan had not lost WW2. All of this strongly implies that WW2 happened in the kn8 universeā¦which means that, even while fighting Kaiju, Japan had the time and energy to fight other countries. This isnāt contradictory to canon at all but itās a crazy implication. Furthermore, the fact that military branches other than the Anti-Kaiju Defence Force exist imply that human-on-human wars still happen in the world and Japan actively trains a Force in order to combat that. The JGSDF wear camouflage fatigues in the anime, which only really makes sense to wear if youāre fighting humans. WHAT WARS IS JAPAN STILL READY FOR MATSUMOTO? ARE THEY AFRAID OTHER COUNTRIES WILL INVADE THEM TO GET THEIR HANDS ON KAIJU RESOURCES?? IS THAT A LEGITIMATE THREAT IN THE MANGA?? HOW CAN THAT NOT BE ADDRESSED??? (is this whole selling weapons of mass destruction why Haruichi seems to have difficulties with his family? maybe he canāt get behind that.)
4. Slightly different but itās insane that JAKDF captains are chosen by power alone. As far as i know, there are very few, if any, places in the world that still determine leadership by strength alone. Like (in theory) donāt you have to be tactically smart to be a military leader? Arenāt other qualities more important? Like in attack on titan, Levi is a captain bc he makes good calls. Erwin gives him specific duties because heās the strongest beast around. But heās not the scoutās commander just because heās strong that would be crazy. But Kikoruās promotion to Vice Captain of the 1st when sheās still a teenager and, though she has shown incredible strength, has little to no leadership experience implies that it really is combat strength that determines your rank. That is frankly insane.
Thereās more but i need to chill out. Points 2 and 3 arenāt plot holes/inconsistencies/senseless at all but theyāre just so crazy that I canāt stop thinking about them.
Anyway this isnāt a criticism of the manga at all, it just keeps my head spinning like a hamster wheelā¦Iām trying to write fanfiction but every time I get stuck on a crazy bit of worldbuilding and Iām like āoh my god how would that even work??ā
