#kai juu

GUYS, HE'S SO PEAK.

In this planet, Kai has burrowed into it's center for warmth and the only way to get to this cave he made is through perilously deep and dark waters (which he can navigate fine as a Kaiju). He also made his cave suitable for his human self as well so further from the core but still underwater, he has a section that's more subtle for his human self. His "bed" for when he's human is really more of a large warm rock that he can lay on (warmed bc he made some ventilation tunnels from the planet's core into his cave) because, again, he's a Kaiju hybrid. So it feels like a soft memory foam mattress to him after a long day of fighting Ultra's. He also hunts the water life and sometimes goes to the surface for other things but he'll also hunt some other places to allow the planet to recover. The reason why he knows about this mysterious and unknown planet was because he looked through his father's journals and this was apparently the planet his mom was going to take him and his father to be their new "home". It's climate suitable for both Kaiju and humans. I've mentioned his cave and while his cave isn't going to be featured on a house decor magazine anytime soon, he tries to keep it tidy.

He has a bookshelf of his father's favorite books, various dinosaur classification, and literature from various universe's and planet's. If he WANTS something softer than he has a crappy couch that's all torn up from fits or rage or unchecked anger and then he has a corner where it's his desk and it has notebooks, journals, and multiversal maps he drew himself to hunt down Ultras and to try to figure out where the Land of the Light is.

BUT WHEN HE REALIZES KANAMI AND DAITO ALWAYS INVITE HIM OVER, he realizes that he might not be a good friend if he didn't extend that same hospitality to them. So he invites them and they're in this underwater cave (the entrance pool has tons of cool sea life) and KANAMI, WHOSE A QUEEN AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN USED TO LUXURIOUS TREATMENT IS ALL: "Oh, Kai! It looks...so nice!" and Daito is all: "...Where the hell is the bathroom?" and Kai is all: "...Huh, I knew I forgot something."

Kanami: "Wait, if you don't have a bathroom, then where do you go?"

Kai: "...Just...someplace on the planet. It's not anywhere near here so don't worry-"

Daito, cackling: "DO YOU JUST SHIT IN THE WOODS, THEN?"

and Kai glares.

He will let Kanami's Hive come into his cave to build a "suitable fortress" for Kanami (and Daito too, they guess, his room is slightly smaller than Kanami's but still designed to his gaudy tastes) and they even included one for Kai in case he wished to join them in human form. Hexel also set up telecommunication lines, which Kai didn't like but once Hexel explained the technology of how to secure them, he grew to the idea. BUT LIKE, KAI COOKING FOR THEM ONE NIGHT when they're having a friend sleepover at his cave and Daito and Kanami are pleasantly surprised because for someone who eats radioactive fish and lava...he makes a really good meal. So they're sitting in the living room and eating and watching a movie in their pajamas (Kai doesn't usually sleep in pajamas so Kanami and Daito tricking him to get a cutesy dinosaur onesie) and Kai just smiling at them because it feels strange but nice to not be alone.

Like, I've described his Kaiju form and while it sounds intimidating, IT'S ALSO INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL AND MAJESTIC and that translates when Kai is human. Like he's not even subtly attractive, PEOPLE TURN THEIR HEADS WHEN HE PASSES BY (hence the hoodie) and it doesn't help that he's 6'4. He doesn't really pay much attention to his looks but he'll use them to his advantage. If he's on the run from some SHIELD agents, he'll just barge into two girl's conversation in an effortlessly smooth way as he's all: "Excuse me, I'm new here. Can you help me?" and the girls HAPPILY give him direction (and their phone numbers) but once the danger is passed, he just immediately turns away from them wordlessly to get back to his evil schemes. When girl's hit on him, he's not really flustered or interested but he'll entertain them if its for his cover. He's calm and polite but he's clearly not as invested in the interaction as they are. If she overstays her welcome, he becomes increasingly unsettling and ominous as a way for her to "get the hint."

There WILL be times when Kai, Kanami, and Daito are hanging out and some beautiful girls approach them and Daito gets all cocky and flirts but then they pass him IMMEDIATELY for Kai. Kanami giggles at Daito's annoyed look while the girls are giggling and twirling their hair and they're all: "Hey, me and my friend just thought you were really cute and were wondering if you were single?" and Kai is all: "You certainly have bold instincts." and then he just walks off while Daito is all: "For the record, I am single-" and Kanami rolls her eyes before catching up to Kai.

When he's in his Kaiju form, Kai'Zarr, HE IS ALSO ATTRACTIVE IN KAIJU STANDARDS. Not for his looks but more because of his power, dominance, and ability to provide and protect. He's slightly politer when rejecting female Kaiju (because, again, he thinks Kaiju are more trustworthy than humans). AND KANAMI AND DAITO HAVE DEFINETLY SEEN HIM GET HIT ON BY ANOTHER KAIJU WHEN HE WAS KAI'ZARR AND THEY LOWKEY JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

Like a female is nuzzling up against him as Kai'Zarr and he gently distances himself to show disinterest or growls lowly (not maliciously but in a way to let her know he's disinterested) and when he went into his human form, both Daito and Kanami just staring at him and he's all: "...Sorry you had to see that...Must be mating season."

LIKE I KNOW WHEN THEY WERE JUST HANGING OUT, DAITO WAS ALL: "Kai, I have a question for you."

"Is it stupid?"

Daito: "So, like...what's your type?"

and Kai looks at him and raises an eyebrow and Daito is all: "Like, do you like regular women ooorrr, are you into...like, the Kaiju side?" and Kai just ignores him and goes back to planning as Daito is all: "If you don't answer me, I'm going to assume you're into the Kaiju stuff."

Kai: "I'm into avenging my parents, Feng."

Kai respects Kanami after their second encounter and when she introduces him to Daito, Kai's not as quick to trust him, but he is fascinated by his abilities and skills. For a while, he stays quiet during "their hang outs" (Sting calls them that but Kanami and the other two INSIST that they're just: "Strategic Discussion sessions") unless he feels strongly about a topic or thinks they can benefit from his opinion. Internally, he's judging and scrutinizing them. Analyzing them like his prey and picking up on their quirks and flaws and weaknesses. If they invite him to something, he will accept it most of the time unless he has more urgent matters to attend too, but he specifically only hangs out with them so he can watch them spar or so they can spar against him. However, because they absolutely hate everyone, it doesn't take long before their mean teenager personalities take over and they bond by talking shit over people they hate.

Sometimes Daito makes a snide comment under his breath at meetings and Kai slightly grins. Or when Kanami scoffs and checks one of Team Sinister for a foolish plan, Kai will chuckle softly. HE'S NOT MAKING THEM FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS anytime soon but the deeper their bond becomes, then he becomes slightly more protective of them. He won't show it conventional ways, but he cares about them in his own stunted and Kaiju way. Like if Kanami, Daito, and him are staying either at Daito's monastery or at Kanami's Apiary, Kai will turn into his Kaiju form and either curl up around Daito's monastery (ensuring no one can infiltrate it without him knowing) or he'll lay around the surrounding Apiary (WHICH ANNOYS THE DRONES BECAUSE HE'S JUST LAYING IN THE MIDDLE OF CONSTRUCTION but they begrudgingly work around him). He marks their territories with his scent, not that they'd be able to smell it, but it also lets other Kaiju and sometimes animals know that they should think twice before they come closer to either locations or else they'll have to answer Kai.

Kai and Daito, I can imagine, will actually have a semi-normal friendship between teenage boys. They'd love to gross out Kanami and slightly bully her but Kai will make sure Daito doesn't go too far. They talk about typical guy stuff, with Daito flexing his new stolen riches and Kai snickering to him about how pathetic Ultraman Rush looked during their last fight. I don't know if Daito would be into video games but I can see them at least being interested and Kai is SO bad at them that Daito can't help but laugh (which leads them to tackle and nearly kill each other...all in good fun, though!). I don't see them confessing their darkest secrets and childhood traumas but I can see them kind of trusting each other a little to be a bit more open about their hatred. They'd trust each other to have their back in battle and Kai would be willing to let Daito take some of his chi (he's basically a bottomless pit given his size) in battle while Daito will help him in his plans to kill Ultraman Rush. If they ever get in a fight, they just settle it with their fists before laughing it off.

Kai and Kanami are good friends, though they did start off...on not the BEST foot. Now, if Kai comes over to visit but Kanami is in the middle of a meeting then she just tells Sting to direct Kai to her room to wait for her and Kai just chilling on her bed or reading her books (he finds her romance novels and nearly rolls his eyes). He'll watch romcoms with her, his mom used to be obsessed with human romcoms, so while Daito is complaining about how STUPID it is, Kai will shove popcorn into his mouth and watch silently. He treats Kanami more gently than he does with Daito but that doesn't mean he treats her like she's fragile because he KNOWS she's not. I just mean he's more considerate of her feelings and even if it is awkward, he'll listen to her rant or let him borrow his shoulder to cry on. He's...slightly envious of Kanami for how she can show emotion and find comfort from her brothers but, he understands that its hard being her. He also doesn't like SAKIYAKU, which I'm sure Daito and him realize are manipulating Kanami but they can't say anything about it because she'll get upset and defensive. While he does tease her, he will give her credit when she manages to jab back at him with just as much venom, and he is very aware of her limits.

Some extra Kai things too:

- He recognizes them largely by scent, Daito smells like Jade and blood while Kanami smells like fresh and pure honey. IF DAITO OR KANAMI WERE TO WEAR A PERFUME OR COLOGNE, he'd be slightly disoriented and defensive when he smells their new scent but then he relaxes when he sees its just them.

- He likes shiny things. Kanami doesn't rob or plunder for riches (she doesn't need too) but when they're setting a trap for Ultraman Rush, Hachika, and Watami: Kanami looking over and seeing Daito and Kai just carrying armfuls of gold and riches and she's all: "Are you two serious?" and Kai is all: "We brought you back a crown."/ Kanami: "AS IF I'D EVER WEAR THAT, it's way too clunky and tacky."/ Daito: "This is why we're never nice to you-"

- Daito feeding Kai random shit just to see HOW MUCH HE CAN EAT. Kanami hates being in the same room as them because Daito hanging him a month old sandwich and Kai just eats it and Kanami is all: "UGH, YOU GUYS ARE GROSS!" and Daito is all: "C'mon, don't you want to feed him something??". I FEEL LIKE DAITO WOULD THREATEN TO FEED PEOPLE TO KAI, I JUST FEE LIKE THAT'S SO IN CHARACTER. Like one of his followers betrays him so he's all: "I don't even want your pathetic chi. Kai, eat them." and Kai just rolls his eyes but he'll do it.

THIS AUDIO IS JUST SO THEM.

-Kai's mother was not just an ordinary Kaiju; she was the descendant of an ancient Kaiju God called "The Devourer of Light". The Devourer of Light was a record-breakingly large cosmic Kaiju that needed to be fought and killed by multiple Ultras, taking many of their lives and gaining incredibly destructive powers with each Ultra energy core it took. Even though this beast was destroyed and the Ultras made sure to hunt all of its children and kin into extinction (including Kai's mother), it has somewhat become a boogeyman to the Land of the Light. This relationship explains not only why Kai is so powerful but also why he's able to hunt Ultras and travel through multiverses as well, and why he doesn't fall to the powers of an Ultra light the same way other Kaiju would.

-Speaking of Kai being a hybrid between a human and a Kaiju: Unlike Akio and Ultraman Rush, he doesn't face any internal division between his identities. Kai is already whole. He doesn’t suffer from inner conflict or competing instincts. This means Kai doesn’t hesitate. He doesn’t misstep. He has no lag between instinct and action. His mind and body are aligned, whether he’s sneaking through a city street in human form or tearing apart an Ultra in Kaiju form. Because he walks the line between Kaiju and human, and is comfortable doing so, it gives him an edge against heroes and Ultras alike because no one expects this giant Kaiju to flow into some regular human with ease. It's not even a question if he's more human or Kaiju because he knows who he is: The Cosmic Killer and an Ultra's worst nightmare.

- As a human, he feels like a predator wrapped in human skin. He's so still and always the quietest one in the room, his eyes observing and constantly surveying everything. His pupils may flare reptilian briefly when he’s agitated, only for him to regain control of himself and quickly correct that aspect of his appearance. He runs hot, literally, when he feels angry, embrassed or flustered (his eyes slit again, hid breath visibly steams, and his skin is hot to the touch) and he might seek a big body of water to cool him down like most Kaiju do. He will often reposition himself to have the best vantage point in the room if he can help it, sometimes growling at people if they're standing behind his back and very much disliking when people sneak up on him.

- However, as a Kaiju, he still acts like himself and sets himself apart because he still maintains his mind and strategy as a Kai'Zarr. He doesn’t rampage. Everything is surgical, targeted, and predatory. When he appears, he’s not screaming or roaring right away, he's watching and choosing the worst way to destroy his prey. Unlike most Kaiju who fight wild and angry, Kai’zarr fights like a martial artist, not a beast. He doesn’t flinch when hurt, he learns from it instantly. He makes direct eye contact with his opponents, human or Ultra, as he tears them apart. Kai'Zarr also demonstrates an understanding of its own strength, he could be demolishing buildings only to gently dust of debris that make have gotten on his shoulder. Even if he has the face of a giant beast, Kai'Zarr can also make expressions that just feel similar to the ones Kai Jou makes as a human. He's a Kaiju that can smirk after he's beaten down his opponent, he can have annoyed expressions when Akio makes a bad joke in the middle of a fight, and the rage in his eyes isn't just the primal rage associated with Kaiju: you can see that there is a purpose to avenge. It's chilling because this look is when you realize that IS Kai, because no other person has such an intense stare.

- In regards to how other Kaiju would respond to hin; Kai is a descendant of the Devourer of Light and carries its ancient Kaiju lineage, and is essentially Kaiju royalty, or at the very least, a high ranking one. Even as a human, he would gain respect from other Kaiju or intimate them because. His scent, aura, or energy RADIATE that he is cosmic and that he is dangerous. He can talk to Kaiju as easily as he can talk to humans as well. He's not just PART Kaiju, he IS a Kaiju. It's just that he can come in a more human looking package.

- Being a Kaiju also means that he has an INTERESTING DIET. His stomach is incredibly reinforced due to his lineage so while he can eat and digest human food, he actually needs things that are slightly more filling because his appetite is BIG. Naturally his favorite meal is Ultra Energy cores but he can also settle for: The flesh of other Kaiju (not his preferred method and generally tries to avoid it unless he's terribly hungry), raw elemental materials (his body can metabolize extreme elements like lava, metal, and radiation to support his cosmic physiology), and as a human he can digest raw foods, "contaminated foods" and even straight up BONES if he has too. He doesn't like sugary foods though because they taste "too processed" and the only kind of candy he'll enjoy is pure cocao chocolate (but don't worry, he develops a craving for honey later-)

- This also means he has an INSANELY huge appetite. He typically goes to a different dimension to hunt and then comes back because he's 400 ft tall as a Kaiju (that's his starting height, at least) and he still has the appetite equivalent to it as well.

- WITH THAT BEING SAID, I THINK KAI CAN MANIPULATE HOW BIG HE IS AND THAT 75,980 FT IS HIS MAX HEIGHT. LIKE, I'M THINKING THAT HE CAN FEED OFF THE LIGHT OF AN ULTRA'S ATTACK AND/OR ABSORB THEIR ATTACKS LIKE KINETIC ENERGY and that's why it's so easy for him to overpower them in battle. So when he becomes a Kaiji, he doesn't START at 76,980 ft tall, he needs to absorb some energy first.

- Also, since he's descended from a literal cosmic being KNOWN as the "Devourer of Light", he can also eat light sources. He even has his own rating of which light sources "taste good to him" and which don't. He's not CONSTANTLY feeding off light, however, because then that'd make him a total black out zone. It's only when he's feeling hungry or has been weakened in a fight that he ends up absorbing light subconsciously. BUT IMAGINE A COOL SCENE WHERE HE'S WALKING THROUGH THE CITY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND EVERY SINGLE LIGHT GOES OUT AND PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED WHILE HE'S JUST WALKING AMONG THEM, LOOKING LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN, AS HE FEEDS ON THE LIGHT. He can't do Dark matter, though. If anything, it weakens him.

- He prefers the presence of Kaiju over humans in most cases. He believes that humans are deceptive and duplicitous creatures (except for his father, who Kai believes is the very rare exception because he saw how his father cared for both him and his mother regardless if they were human and Kaiju). While Kaiju can be cruel and destructive by instinct, it usually isn't a conscious choice that they're making and is just the laws of nature. Humans, however, are capable of choosing cruelty and they do. They start meaningless wars for their own agendas, they can do horrible things to each other just for the sake of it, even though they have the choice NOT to do so. Kaiju can't lie about what they are and can't control their nature, humans can. Regardless, his distaste for them isn't as burning as his hatred for Ultras.

- He also tends to just be in the ocean floor. He is a Kaiju after all so he'll most likely make himself at home in an underwater cave in the ocean, maybe the deepest parts of the sea, or among some desolate mountains somewhere. Even as a human, he can withstand even the most extreme of temperatures. He's just never had a real bed before since his parents died but when Kanami and/or Daito give him a room, he will curl up instantly and even make a pleased rumbling growl as he snuggles to get comfortable.

- HE DOES LOVE AND MISS HIS PARENTS DEEP DOWN. They were both the light of his life and then they were taken away from him unfairly. He dislikes whiny children who complain about their parents doing things like making them eat vegetables or regular parent things because they don't know that he would kill to have that back again. He carries around a mini photo album of all the pictures he was able to take before leaving to start his killing spree of his parents. Every hideout he's made, he has a shrine dedicated to his parents that's littered with the helmets of an Ultra or an Ultra's host's bones, as if he's placing them there as offerings. He also seems to have a fondness for Kaiju mothers, as he'll defend them from Ultras and/or help hunt for them and their children as well as destroying anything that might threaten them or their young.

Ultraman Rush/ Akio "Rush" Takayama:

- Rush Takayama is a SHIELD agent in training whose incredibly cocky, reckless, and arrogant. He often has to be reprimanded by his superiors but he just feels like he has a lot to prove and that SHIELD is wasting his time. Slightly entitled but only because he's always been a prodigy.

- In fact he was given the nickname "Rush" because he's constantly running in head first into situations because he thinks he can just figure out everything on the fly.

- Rush Takayama is a Japanese-American whose older brother was killed in the line of duty for SHIELD. His parents constantly discourage him from going into the Academy but Rush always admired what his older brother did and wants to carry on his legacy. When his brother died, he just felt like he lost the only person who understood him.

- Meanwhile, in the Land of the Light (the home in which all Ultramen come from), Ultraman Rush (yes, they have the same name) is a very young but equally reckless Ultraman who managed to sneak out on his own for his own mission. You see, the purpose of all Ultramen (like, in general): is to protect Earth from giant monsters and alien threats, while also inspiring humanity to be better and work towards a more peaceful and cooperative future. Granted, they usually crash land or end up on Earth unintentionally sometimes-

- Anyways, Ultraman Rush prematurely went out on his first mission before he was ready and his Ultra energy ended up somehow getting stuck onto earth and was found by SAKIYAKU. They experimented on it and because he didn't have a human host, Ultraman Rush was basically incredibly weakened and on the verge of Death.

- Meanwhile, Rush had just gotten lectured from his SHIELD superiors and was on suspension but on his way out, he overheard a team being assigned a mission about discovering a SAKIYAKU base. While he definetly wasn't old enough to know about SAKIYAKU or their incident, Rush knew that they were a rising threat, so he purposely stole the mission file just to do the SAKIYAKU mission on his own and prove himself in the eyes of SHIELD.

- He's like really determined but he's also really really dumb and overeager to prove himself.

- Anyways, Rush manages to successfully infiltrate SAKIYAKU but he loses the details of the mission on the way in so he kind of has to explore around on his own. Upon exploring, he finds a strange room where a glowing object is and feels compelled to go by it. He senses that it's weak and that it needs help, even if he isn't sure what it is but when he walks towards it, he accidentally triggers an alarm throughout the whole facility. He's suddenly surrounded by thousands of SAKIYAKU operatives and Swarm Riders but when they start opening fire on Rush, Ultraman Rush uses his energy to create a shield of light around Rush Takayama. Rush looks at the orb and he's all: "What are you?" before he reaches out and touches it.

- Ultraman Rush immediately bonds with him and Rush Takayama can feel the Ultra energy through his viens and he's surrounded by an aura of light. Rush is all: "WOAH, WOAH, WOAH, WAIT, WHAT IS GOING ON-"/ Ultraman Rush: "Heya, little buddy, so I don't have much time to explain but you're my host now and I'm gonna need you to let me transform us really quickly before they kill us-"/Rush: "WHAT!? O-OKAY, HOW DO I DO THAT?"/ Ultraman Rush: "JUST, SAY SOMETHING-"/Rush: "LIKE WHAT!?"/Ultraman Rush: "I DON'T KNOW, SOMETHING."/Rush: "OKAY, FUCK- UM, LET'S RUSH THIS!?"

- And he immediately becomes bigger, in standard Ultraman fashion, and Ultraman Rush is so happy to finally give these assholes a taste of their own medicine for experimenting on him but Rush Takayama is FIGHTING him for control so he's a lot more destructive than he intended to be and internally, IT'S JUST A BACK FORTH ARGUMENT BETWEEN THEM.

- They eventually do manage to get away but SHIELD later catches Akio/Rush Takayama and when Fury tries to fire him, Tommy ends up being all: "Yeah, I don't think we can let him go. Not unless we want to deal with this." and Tommy shows Fury a video of last night of the first Ultraman Rush sighting and when watching the video, Akio feels his wrist burn and he looks to see a symbol tattooed on his arm, as he was branded with Ultraman Rush's energy.

- Ultraman Rush: "Ugh, I look stupid. You should've just let me have control!"/ Rush Takayama: "I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON!" and, like, ONLY RUSH CAN HEAR ULTRAMAN RUSH so Tommy and Fury side eye each other before Tommy is all: "He's gonna be apart of my team, isn't he?"

- Fury: "Have fun with your new member, Agent Xiong." and Tommy just groans as Rush is literally arguing with himself.

Kai'Zarr, The Cosmic Killer/Kai Juu:

- Kai is the son of Juu Souta and Kairaksa. Souta was a normal human anthropologist and archeologist who stumbled upon an injured woman. She was strange looking, with reptilian eyes and scales on her body, but she was beautiful to him in an otherworldly way. The woman's name was Kairaksa, she was being hunted down by Ultramen because she belonged to a cosmic lineage of Kaiju's who had the ability to "unweave light" and absorb the powers of Ultramen to become even more powerful (they could also have humanoid forms as well).

- Souta helped hide Kairaksa and nurtured her until she regained her strength. At some point, he fell in love with ALL of her, still seeing her as beautiful even when she was in her cosmic Kaiju form. They eventually had a son, a boy who could transform between fully human to fully Kaiju. That boy was Kai Juu.

- However, when Kairaksa was searching the cosmos to find a place where she and Souta could raise their son in peace, she was attacked by Ultramen. She didn't fight back because she hoped that they would see that she meant no harm but her bloodline had killed too many Ultramen for them to just give her the benefit of a doubt.

- Kai was 9 years old when she died and he was raised by his father on Earth for a while in complete solitude. Souta worked obsessively to find a way where he can hide Kai from the Ultramen, desperate to protect his and Kairaska's beloved boy. Meanwhile, Kai become obsessed with training to destroy Ultramen and even though his father told him never to use his powers, the rage and anger in Kai's heart made him practice in secret. He'd destroy the areas around him, roaring with a heartbroken and angry cry, and image over and over again how he was going to make those Ultramen pay for killing his mother. One day, he went overboard and more Ultras showed up at his father's house.

- Souta did his best to protect Kai but eventually, he was killed in the process. The sight of his father dying tipped Kai over the edge as he turned into his cosmic Kaiju form, Kai'Zarr. Years of killing Ultras kicked in as Kai become one with himself, both the human and the Kaiju, and killed every single one of those Ultras. Absorbing their energy and making him more powerful.

- Kai now walks between the multiverse and cosmos, hunting down and killing Ultras to satiate his blood thirsty revenge, and making sure that each of them die slow and painful deaths so they can feel a FRACTION of the pain he feels everyday.

- Kai is a sadistic but controlled individual, he enjoys destroying Ultras with surgical precision and predatory satisfactions. He may even have a hoarde of trophies he's collected from them with each kill.

- His Kaiju bloodline allows him to hunt down Ultra's and more importantly, when they've become bonded to a host. He strikes after an Ultra has freshly bonded with its host, almost as if "spawn killing" them before they've even had a chance, and he exploits the hosts weaknesses (either emotional, physical, etc) because while bonding with a host can be an Ultra's greatest source of strength, Kai knows how to weaponize their bond so its more like a prison for the Ultra. He never attacks until the odds favor him, he will always know the terrain, and he strikes wherever it causes the most pain. If he can and has the ability too, he'd happily like to mess with his prey and torment them before he comes in for the kill.

- Kai is also aware of how dangerous he is. ULTRAS ARE INCREDIBLY POWERFUL COSMIC BEINGS, so he definetly has a chip on his shoulder because he hunts these guys for breakfast. This can cause him to be a bit arrogant but to be fair, he has the stats to back it up.

- He has that stubborn teenage certainty too. Kai believes that he knows everything about the universe and that Ultras are hypocrites who need to be taken down and that he's the only one strong enough to do it. He can be dismissive of other world views, especially sappy pacifist ones, and will brush people off during arguments with venom and cold indifference.

- He also has no friends, he can blend in among humans, but he has no intention of connecting with them. He knows better than anyone that human relations are a weakness and besides, its not like they'd ever accept him if they saw what he could turn into. Humans are just as despicable as Ultras in his eyes but at least one of them poses an actual threat to him (hint: it's not the humans).
