You know what would be hilarious? A scenario where Kafka ends up raising a Godzilla/Gojira. Yes, I'm still on a kaiju kick and just saw the latest Kaiju No 8 episode so why not?

It all happens at least 12 years before canon during a job. The latest Kaiju corpse was a digger class whose constant tunneling had severely damaged the ground so the Monster Sweepers were already walking on eggshells. Kafka was gathering a DNA sample until the ground collapses underneath him.

He falls into a hidden chamber where a single giant 9 ft tall egg stands before him. The item hatches covering Kafka in yolk as a baby Godzilla/Gojira emerges much to his dismay. He's at first worried about being a snack until the baby licks him and implants a larger fear. The infant had imprinted on him.

Little Gojira/Godzilla flees before rescue services shows up to rescue Kafka. The man doesn't mention the baby and lies saying he fell into an already hatched egg. Kafka thinks it won't be important as he prays the tiny kaiju forgets him.

NOPE! Not even a day later, the man wakes up to scratching on his apartment door. The baby came back and truly imprinted on him. Kafka doesn't know what to do at all. He's trying to join the Defense Force, which kills Kaiju, and having a baby one believing he is its parent contradicts the entire idea.

Kafka doesn't think he can snuff out Gojira/Godzilla's life and reluctantly accepts his fate. Thus the man commits one of the biggest taboos by raising the baby lizard. Gojira/Godzilla is a bit different from the kaiju in KN8 series.

He has no core and can't be tracked by the Defense Force's systems. An anomaly that earned Gojira/Godzilla the title 'Phantom Kaiju'. There have been calls but the Big G always flees before he could be properly identified.

While raising Gojira/Godzilla, Kafka often snuck him to the clean up site so he could eat off the corpses. He wanted to make sure the little guy was big and strong enough to fend for himself out in the wild. Kafka taught Gojira/Godzilla to avoid the Defense Force at all times while not being a hassle to any nearby civilians.

Even when his kaiju son grew to the size of a house, surprise visits were bound to happen. Kafka's bond with Gojira/Godzilla has grown to the point that they can understand and sense each other's presence. Something which drags the kaiju into the Defense Force's crosshairs once the man gains his powers.

(Our Kaiju is an adolescent during canon, 80 meters in size, as his fully grown size will be 120m. My personal take is a mix between 1993 Zilla and the current Monsterverse iteration because I'm very familiar with both. Grump with a side of little shit behavior wise.)

Gojira/Godzilla immediately tracks down Kafka upon his first transformation that fateful night. You can bet Reno wasn't exactly ready to find out his senpai raised a kaiju in secret for 12 years, much less the infamous Phantom. He was absolutely throwing out theories about Gojira/Godzilla being linked to Kafka's Kaiju form, which the man vehemently denies.

The man ain't escaping the Phantom Kaiju is Kaiju No 8's biological child theories though. Gojira/Godzilla gonna show up whenever Kafka uses his powers like in canon because their bond translates it as a signal flare. Think an emotion based Bat Signal to a giant Batman.

Gojira/Godzilla will retain their Phantom Kaiju title since he was never properly registered in the system years ago. The big guy is still associated with Kafka's kaiju form as he almost always shows up. Our dear himbo definitely working on that since he doesn't want his son to keep misinterpreting his transformation like that.

Kafka and Gojira/Godzilla are two disastrous peas in a pod who drags everyone into their insanity.

These two ON GOD need a name

So we have Kafka x Hoshina and Kafka x Mina and some people support a poly relationship and that's all cool (I like all three)

but hear me out

Kafka..... and the mother he saved in chapter 2. (SHE AND HER DAUGHTER REALLY NEED NAMES)

I've looked at the most recent chapter and this is like, the third time these two have shown up. I'm not complaining, they are adorable and I'm sitting here wondering if the kid has a father because its starting to look like she doesn't. The mom looks like a catch, the kid obviously loves and supports Mr. Kaiju Man, and has a flipping homemade stuffie of him.

I just think that after everything is over and the world has stabilized, maybe there could be a meet-cute in a grocery store or something and Kafka just goes full loving and concerned like " Oh my god! How are you? Did your hand come out the other end ok? How's the kid? You guys manage to find a place after everything?" and the mom is like "UM.... I don't think I know you?" And Kafka is all like " Oh sh*t, my bad." And does like a partial transformation on his face and it all clicks for the mom and she's all like "D*mn, that's what he looks like out of uniform. Not bad." And maybe they talk a bit and she invites him over to see the kid and the kid pulls an Anya and casually mentions they don't have a father figure in the house and Itotalyhaventbeenthinkingaboutthisalotintheslightest-

Yeah Mina and Hoshina are great, but the potential for cannon step-Dadka tho. I say this because I think Reno is past the age limit for adoption and Shinomya, while still possible age wise, wouldn't ever express the need or verbally go for it and since she's rich I think there might be safe guards in place to where that doesn't need to happen. She might eventually go for it, but I think she would've been aged out at that point.

Just think, the little girl and another kid gets into an argument and the other kid pulls out a "My dad can beat your dad!" and the little girl pulls a "Well, MY dad is a KAIJU and your dad isn't even in the Defense Force!" and Kafka is in the back listening and just starts bawling and says "SHE CALLED ME DAD!"

okay imagine sokka being adamant that izumi was going to be a nonbender based solely off the fact that she's a complete natural at nailing people with her toys, and when everyone pushes back on him he then starts saying she'll be a waterbender, just to be contrary

(naturally, she does end up being a firebender lol)

it's not actually something that bothers him bc it's not like this will stop him from teaching her all his moves, and tbh this just gives him more fodder to tease his little fire-breathing family

but then one day izumi comes up to him with a bowl of soapy water and a small hoop that instantly catches his attention (for better or worse, he's not sure just yet)

"papa, watch!" and with a ridiculously pinched look of determination, she slaps the hoop into the bowl and then blows through it, creating a cascading wave of bubbles that float between them and pop against sokka's arms and clothes

"i'm a waterbender!"

her excited laughter and bright grin as she keeps blowing bubbles is overwhelming, and it fills sokka with so much adoration that he can't help but scoop her up to blow a few raspberries against her cheeks and laugh into her hair. "well aren't you just a little bender of all trades, princess!"

she shrieks, giggling and wiggling in his arms as she tries to get back to her dropped hoop. "no, wait! now your turn! i want you to blow one like a boomerang!"

sure, he's not entirely sure how to create angles in a bubble with only a round hoop, but it's not like sokka's gonna say no to that, and so he happily accepts the soapy hoop and blows into it for his daughter

—

"was this your idea?" he asks zuko later while they watch her valiantly try to make the biggest bubble she can, and zuko just chuckles

"no, she figured out bubbles are made from water on her own. i just provided the soap and helped her practice, since she wanted to impress you"

just then, the giant bubble releases itself from the hoop to wobble in the air for a few seconds—only to immediately pop when a thrown stick spears itself in its direct center to the sound of izumi's delighted cackling, and she doesn't waste a second in picking up the hoop to do it again

and sokka can do nothing but stare and laugh when she succeeds again, and then again, before darting out to drag her in and pepper kisses all over her little face

"yup, you can definitely say i'm very impressed, my little moonbeam!"

Because Remnants tore my soul apart, I drew Damir and Radka for @zmlorenz. If you don’t already follow her, please check out her work! She’s incredible!

[transuncletaylor]

Sokka gets one of those cars for kids for Izumi and she loves it, takes it on a drive when they do their daily walks.

But Sokka breaks it one day when he wants to take it for a spin and Zuko makes him sleep on the couch that night.
