No im not overly emotional about the fact that Kenji was bullied for being an immigrant to the point he started going by “Ken” to sound more American to the point even Mina didn’t use his birth name, but his dad still calls him Kenji because he wasn't there when his son was getting bullied
that part when Emi was falling and Ken screamed NOOO BABY with genuine concern and then accidentally broke her arm trying to save her made me think of how in trying to keep Ken safe Professor Sato also ended up accidentally hurting him (emotionally) and maybe that is an inevitable part of love and we always hurt the ones we love when trying to keep them safe
KENJI SATO MASTERLIST
MOMMY’S HERE MASTERLIST !
KENJI WENT FROM LEATHER JACKETS AND "ICON" SHIRTS TO DRESSING LIKE HIS FATHER BY THE END OF THE MOVIE!!!
[R/n goes up to the thermostat for years she wondered if the myths about dads and thermostats were true, so she did the unthinkable...she adjusted the the house's temperature.
a second later, Kenji and Prof. Sato stuck their heads out of different rooms.]
Kenji, was taking a shower he has a towel around his waist and shampoo in his hair.
Prof. Sato was in the study with a book in one hand and a half eaten bagel in the other.
Kenji & Prof Sato: Who touched the thermostat?!
R/n, stares at the father and son dumbfounded: ...Holy crap, it is true!
thinking about the times before
the relationship that Kenji and his dad had before everything fell apart makes me very emotional
Thinking about how Ami said to Ken that there is something different about him. Not is she only pertaining to Ken's motivation and that he's secretly Ultraman, but the fact that Ken himself is not entirely human.
Shannon Tindle, the director of the movie, confirms that Professor Sato, Kenji's father, is an Ultra disguised as a human. Ken's mom is most likely human since his father said that she helped him experience what it means to be a human. Thus, Kenji is an Ultra/human hybrid.
So, I would like to imagine that when seeing Ken, there is this feeling in the back of your mind that he's not entirely human (uncanny valley effect). He looks and sounds human, but something about him feels...off.
Cool cool cool cool cool please excuse me as I vividly think about Professor Sato keeping bunny (Ollie) around all these years. A deeply beloved toy that Kenji found comfort in as a child, and how he goes on to gift it to Emi. Thus allowing Kenji to, in turn, share the comfort he felt back then with his own daughter, now, when she needs it most.
How Kenji harmonizes with his dad and bunny in singing Bingo to Emi (how singing is such an important expression of love in Lost Ollie)
How Emi comes to adore bunny so much she first goes back to grab him on the beach before showing him to her daddy because she couldn’t leave bunny behind. He was too important to her, even when things were getting scary, to leave him behind.
“She was loved so much she fell apart”
And thinking about Ollie going through the worst to make it back. Being in such an awful state, but still so loved, he’s cleaned up and fixed to then get passed down and share the love he brought.
Made with a love shared and passed forward from generations of parents to children.
