here's a thought about the AI collective being a big eater/constantly hungry:
They're kinda of a mutated zombie thing, which tend to be hungry. And also fucker has like 9 mostly living bodies crammed in one… dude probably needs a certain amount of calories to keep all his parts functioning correctly
Kaiman whining and crying about how he's *starving* after having not eaten for an hour might actually be true. His current body that he's wearing is probably perfectly fine but one of his back ups is probably in need
(also good lords the amount the Ai collective had to eat to collectively get as big as they do as an adult. Cause like Ai only got a bit taller in the coffin while he was dead, he was scrawny as shit and still had much growing to do when he first got into the sorcerer world and the baby crosseyes started following him around. No wonder the Crosseyes close to the boss learned quickly that Kai will give them his time if they feed him)
thought in addendum to 'the Ai collective is constantly hungry cause they've got nine bodies to support and only one mouth to eat with normally':
Even still, as an adult the collective should be thicker. The crosseyes were certainly making sure that Kai was well fed. As much as he was costing her, Nikaido def made sure Kaiman was eating enough to not complain much. I have to assume that the allowance that Kai left for Aikawa was enough to keep him fed and Aikawa ate whenever fucking felt like it. And was not above stealing food if he felt like it.
Give that man(s) a soft stomach, none of that super shrinkwrapped abs bullshit
