The Development of Papa Rei

“Not” Papa Rei: Rejecting the idea entirely.

“Sure, I guess I’m” Papa Rei: Saving her from being dragged away. First nudge at acceptance. Papa Rei? c:

“Hell yeah I’m” Papa Rei: Smug that Miri is raving about Papa Rei over Papa Kazuki to her friends. Enjoying being Papa Rei? uwu

“Content” Papa Rei: Happy to hear his daughter call his name in her sleep. The teeniest hint of a smile ;~; Creeping towards full papa.

“Protective/Worried” Papa Rei: Staying by her side while she sleeps when she’s sick to make sure she’s okay. Transitioning to PAPA REI.

“Happy” Papa Rei: Full of love coming home seeing his daughter and partner work so hard to give him a good birthday. PAPA REI ^~^

“Supportive” Papa Rei: Finally cheering on his little girl :’) He really is Papa.

“Selfless” Papa Rei: “Miri comes first.” WHAT. A. PAPA. MOVE.

FULL FLEDGED PAPA REI. “I am her papa, I want to be her father.” FIGHTING FOR HIS DAUGHTER.

God I love this man so much I will never stop raving about him.

[soniadamasco]

Kazuki is totally the dad to run after Miri's first boyfriend with a shotgun

[shitpostingkats]

Why did it take me until todays episode to realize how hysterical this entire show is from Kyutaro’s point of view

BUDDY DADDIES (2023)

stu. PA Works | dir. Yoshiyuki Asai | src. anime original

Professional hitmen Kazuki Kurusu — who lost his wife and unborn child in a tragic accident involving a target, and Rei Suwa — heir to the Suwa organization, a vicious crime syndicate led by his affectionless father, under dire circumstances, end up adopting 4-year-old Miri Unasaka — a bright young child who grew to view them both as her Papas, and with time, showed Kazuki and Rei that despite their pasts and presents, they could be worthy of happiness. They, too, could be loved.

All of Tumblr owes Kyu an apology for doubting him the past few weeks. This man went from being called cold-blooded at the beginning of the season to being a true ride or die for these idiots. I love him so much.

Kazuki: Now I totally get how my other mom friends feel...

Kyutaro: ...mom friends?

Kazuki: Yeah! They're always complaining how their husbands never do anything.

Episode 8 takes place on August 10th, Rei’s birthday. At the end of that episode we see Kyu get confronted with a new assignment from the boss: to gain information on Kazuki and Miri.

Episode 9 takes place on October 15th, Miri’s sports day. At the end of that episode we see Kyu get confronted once again with photographs, this time of Rei, Kazuki, and Miri at the latter’s daycare, and is reminded of the job that he has to complete.

This happens over two months later, and yet Ogino and the boss have clearly not been given what they asked for.

There’s a good chance this means that Kyu has been dragging his feet about dealing with this whole situation, and deciding between disobeying the organization - which will surely end in his death - or betraying those who he has a soft spot in his heart for, and who are finally starting to heal from the trauma that the organization has already put them through.

The organization has already failed Kazuki, Rei, and Miri, and they’ve taken that hurt and used it to start over. However, we’ve yet to see the organization fail Kyu, and that might be what gets served to us through the end of the season. And of course, the other three are likely to get dragged into it.

we were all thinking it

[soniadamasco]

Can we all appreciate how Kyutaro chose our papas' fake jobs based on how he sees them?

Rei: a rich kid

Kazuki: a fucking clown apparently

[sakusbo]

One thing I really wish we had time to expand on in the show is Kazuki’s relationship with Kyu.

Originally, I speculated that in this episode we might see a bit of role reversal from the start of their relationship where Rei would be taking care of Kazuki in the aftermath of their loss. You know who actually filled this role, though?

Kyutaro.

He tells Kazuki, literally, “I’m not comfortable giving you a job that will put you in danger when you’re in this state of mind.” Basically halting those self-destructive impulses in their tracks.

Knowing that Kazuki needs the money, Kyu hands over the funds that Karin refused, which he kept, seemingly for Kazuki if he ever needed.

However, when Kazuki demands he hand it all over at once, Kyutaro refuses, well aware that Kazuki will spend it other self-destructive habits (drinking, gambling) if upset and left to his own devices.

Mom, indeed. This reads to me almost like a older/little brother relationship?

We have no idea how old Kazuki was when he got involved in this business, only that it was before he met/lost Yuzuko, so he was younger than 23. If we assume he was with her for at least a few years, he could’ve still been a teenager (18/19) when he started as a contract killer. Has Kyutaro known him all that time?

He has definitely known Kazuki since Yuzuko, as he was familiar with Karin and knows exactly what happened to his family. Has he watched this same self-destructive spiral happen before? Hence why he’s not comfortable with sending Kazuki out on a dangerous job?

And the fact that when Rei calls Kazuki to warn that Miri is in danger, who does Kazuki immediately turn to for help? Kyutaro.

He checks in with him while driving, too, like hello?? Thank you for acknowledging the wound because yeah, I bet it did hurt like hell when he was shot and someone stuck their finger in the wound.

And this response. Caring enough about protecting Kazuki even when Kazuki himself is already sinking into feelings of guilt and inadequacy.

Anyway, Kyutaro is the hypocrite in this episode because he was the most vocal in saying that you shouldn’t get attached in this sort of business, not unless you’re willing to see it through. Well, guess who was attached long before the series started and is going to see it through now, sir.
