There should have been a Breaking Bad bottle episode in which Mr. White and his family go on a day trip to the beach but coincidentally every other character in the show also decided to go there that day so the basic plot is Mr. White trying not to blow his cover in front of his family as increasingly outlandish shenanigans draw everyone together. This would have happened but the fanservice of the entire cast in swimsuits would have been so incredibly and dangerously powerful that Vince Gilligan decided to toss the episode

Playing devils advocate here.
I still think that Toichi being alive is ... a not very good idea, but... now that the shock has passed and I'm chill about it now, and have been rereading stuff... there Might Be Something Here.
My favorite theory about Toichi that saves his ass from being a completely shitty father is that the assassination attempt did not kill him, but DID leave him disabled somehow. Kinda of what happened to Kudo, except he wasn't shrunk.
That would explain:
1- Why he had to disappear for 8 years. I don't think Chikage could explain to a child that his father "had an attempt on his life and is now hiding" that would be hard to explain, and kids aren't the best at secret keeping.
2- Why Toichi left stuff behind for Kaito. Since he cannot perform magic tricks and parkour anymore, he let Kaito decide if he wanted to carry the mantle of being KID.
3-Why he still hasn't showed up. Remember that Kaito Corbeau was Chikage dressed as him, and in movie 27 is flashback from Yuusaku (as I've heard, I have not watched the movie). And he was dressed as Corbeau, so I guess we don't fully know how he's doing modern-day. Him being in Japan would be too much of a liability.
This stuff also explains why Kaitos room was timed. His door was going specifically open after 8 years, being 17, which is old enough to know the truth and not spill.
Interestingly enough, it seems this decision of making Kaito the Kid was not something Toichi and Chikage agreed on, judging by the fact she asked Kaito to stop being KID and move to Vegas (and the whole Corbeau fiasco) and seemed somewhat upset in the first manga chapter when she realizes Kaito had found out the secret room.
But despite all of this, it doesn't explain why Toichi couldn't have simply just... called him? Like once the door hit the timer, he could've just called the boy. Tell him "Hey son I am alive although not well. Yes, I was the thief KID. I dont know what you will do with this info but have fun I guess". Cmon. Unless the disability in question was amnesia or something.
The only thing that breaks this theory is the fact that apparently Corbeau has been making the rounds in Las Vegas... but as I said before, Chikage asked Kaito to come with her and get there. Which is curious... does she want Kaito to meet the real Corbeau? To know something that's been a secret? Def something to ponder about.
So yeah... Gosho might have burned the rice but he might be able to clutch this. What I'm saying is, while hating on Toichi is funny, perhaps we should be a little more patient to see what happens.

the soulless jack “arc” is both very horrifically sad and very horrifically funny bc on one side everybody is freaking out panicking brandishing weapons thinking that jack went dark side slash rogue slash awol or that he finally succumbed to his dominant evil genetics and betrayed them or something , meanwhile jack on the other side is almost-crying and panicking and hallucinating and literally punching the air because he’s so upset and confused about what he did and afraid that he’s gonna lose everything if he can’t fix it . like
Bobby: yerp he’s too outta control and sick I’m sorry I fought alongside him too but we gotta put the dog down boys he clearly chose his side and was obviously genetically predisposed to being evil anyways. I’m gonna get my gun
Jack: IF I DONT BRING HER BACK AND FIX THIS I AM NEVER FUCKING SEEING THEM AGAIN AND THEY’LL NEVER WANNA BE FRIENDS AGAIN I DONT KNOW WHAT TO FUCKING DO I JUST WANT MY MOM I JUST WANNA GO HOME I AND HAVE EVERYTHING BE LIKE IT WAS PLEASE GOD
