#buddy daddies kyu chan

[diznam]

made a tiny buddy daddies reel on my ig

we all know how the story develops

[karlyboyyy]

Okay are we gonna talk about the fact that nearly two whole months have passed between Rei’s birthday and Miri’s field day?

That’s two whole months of Kyu supposedly gathering information about the Kurusuwa family and feeding it to the Organization. And as much as I’d love to think he would defy orders to protect them… this look on his face after seeing how happy this little family is… it has me so nervous, y’all

Here’s to hoping this isn’t the look of someone who feels guilty for betraying his friends, but instead the look of someone who’s finally decided to betray the Organization in order to protect his friends and their happiness.

An unfunny comedian and an oil baron walk into a bar, and the bartender throws a file and a gun in front of them...

[tazernatic]

we were all thinking it

[kayacomics]

I should draw Kyu Chan more often

[mommyesque]

Remembering our hero Kyu-chan, the one responsible for pairing KazuRei together, KazuRei finding Miri, getting married and opening up a diner with their daughter

All of that wouldn't happen if it weren't for this man 👏

[megane-sama]

Kazuki: *runs to Kyu-chan to bitch about his circumstances*

Kyu-chan: Sounds like you're having fun.

Kazuki: Are my horrors a joke to you?

[fakeasmr]

mmmm delicious subtext

[impromptu-sketches]

I’ve summarized the content from the Buddy Daddies Drama CD Vol 1, translated by Marcella!

Thank you Marcella!!! ♡♡♡ and thank you for sharing the audio of Kazuki running and out of breath, I personally appreciate that very much

Now we know Kazuki and Rei’s first time meeting each other went like this:

-

Rei (aka the murder machine) (aka the ‘Elite Rei’) (22 years old) (39 cents to his name) ran away from home, has no money for food so he steals ransom money from these random yakuza thugs he stumbles upon.

Kazuki (25 years old) (widower) (currently drunk) (probably also has around 39 cents to his name) is found by Kyu-chan after a night of unsuccessful gambling and they go back to Yadorigi.

Kazuki has failed so many missions that this new job Kyu-chan gives him (to find Rei and protect him because he’s never lived outside of the family house and his profile says he has ‘zero life experience or skills’ and has a ‘naive view of the world’) is his last chance.

Rei is running away from the thugs when Kazuki finds him and not knowing who he is, Rei runs away from him too. Kazuki chases him, somehow catches up to him (regretting his drunken state). Rei attacks him then pulls out a gun, accuses him of being a competitor and then FAINTS because he’s so hungry.

Kazuki carries him back to his place and makes him food. Rei calls his place dirty and says his food is nothing special. Kazuki explains the misunderstanding and tells Rei he should play the cards he’s been dealt by working for the neighborhood’s boss (Kyu-chan?) and earn money that way instead of stealing it from high risk people (like the freaking yakuza!). Rei thanks him for saving him and takes his advice.

Suddenly the thugs attack and Rei destroys Kazuki’s place with gunshots while defending them.

-

One month later...

Like we see in episode 8, Kazuki walks into the bar and sees Rei looking like a complete mess of a man (but we know from his conversation with Kyu-chan that Rei has completed 30 jobs in one month while Kazuki has completed...?).

A few days later, Kazuki goes to the bar to rant to Kyu-chan about his place being wrecked with bullet holes and Kyu-chan asks Kazuki to pick up documents at Rei’s place since Rei never leaves the house.

Kazuki walks into Rei’s apartment and immediately freaks out and yells about all of the gross old food that’s rotting and mysterious liquids in the sink. He offers to help clean it and Rei is like ‘have fun with that,’ and goes back to playing video games.

~Insert scene in episode 8 where Kazuki cleans Rei’s entire apartment, dunks him in the bathtub, cuts his hair, brings in furniture, and cooks him food~

As they eat, Kazuki complains he’ll never have this nice of a kitchen, and blames Rei for destroying his current place. Rei says, “There are spare rooms left over.“ and Kazuki responds, “You want me to be your housekeeper.“ Which is correct, but he admits it wouldn’t be so bad and they could help each other out - him with housework and Rei with their jobs.

Kazuki accepts he’ll be taking care of Rei for a little while. And then we get:

Kazuki: “It’s a pleasure doing business, shut in.”

Rei: “The pleasure is all mine, freeloader.”

-

Then they proceed to live together, do all of their jobs together, and drink at the same bar together for -THREE YEARS-

I still can’t believe Kazuki tells Miri ‘I’m just crashing.’ (ᗒ ᗨᗕ)

[ofdreamsanddoodles]

love how out of every single lie he could have thought of kazuki immediately went “we, the hitmen you hire to kill people, are taking babysitting jobs now. we didn’t adopt a child after we killed her dad who you paid us to kill. we’re just her babysitters. thats a thing we do now.”

Buddy Daddies Vol 3

Alright! I’m wide awake and have Buddy Daddies vol 3~ forgive my blankets in my pictures… I am not bothered to get out of bed…

Let’s begin!

The package arrived in shiny plastic - I noticed it was immediately lighter than the first two which had me worried lol. Nothing to worry — the bonuses this time were just very light/ small.

The box cover~ as I predicted in my last post, this one features Rei and Miri together with Kazuki alone. I was also correct about it being blue. I wanted a rainbow but hey, sticking thematically to colours works too!

We’ve all already seen Vol 4’s colour scheme so I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that maybe we’ll get variations of red/ pink and blue.

Now inside! Disclaimer: this volume comes with a serial code for a digital copy of the entire series (Yay!) so for this reason, a couple of papers (with the serial code) are missing. Edit: Turns out I cannot read as well as I thought I could without glasses - the code is actually for an hour special with Rei and Kazuki's voice actors. I can't share recordings or anything, but they play mini games. (Who can thread a needle the fastest, quizzes on small details in the anime [they had to remember what pattern was on Kazuki's underwear lol], folding socks fastest, a cook off where they make french toast and more!)

The DVD case! The only complaint I have about these cases is the fact that they don’t click shut — they’re cardboard, similar to the ED song album. My only fear is that stuff falls out as I put it away, but it’s a small fear and not really a big deal.

We have shopping with Kyu-Chan! And of course Rei and Miri on the DVD

Disc on the left is episodes 5 and 6…. And disc on the right is the Drama CD Vol 2!

(I’m not planning to immediately translate it as I’d like a break after I finish drama Vol 1, but if no one else does it, again, I’ll take a crack at it lol)

The booklet! Same stuff as before is in it: image references of scenes in the episodes (the daycare especially). And a new art! You may have seen the left side all over Twitter — well, the right side is here too! Since it’s for the drama, and the drama preview is about Kyu-Chan’s stalker… I’m guessing that might be her?

The drawing image is of all the children’s parents — with of course oil baron Rei and comedian Kazuki.

The caption in the bottom says:

園児たちの絵描き

Enjitachi no e kaki

Kindergarten student’s drawings.

Aaannnddd that’s a wrap! I’ll see y’all next time for Vol 4… (but I suspect you’ll be seeing me much sooner for the Drama Vol 1 translation)

またね〜
