As a long-time fan of Kaiju No. 8, I’ve been eagerly following Kafka Hibino’s journey from a humble Defense Force captain to a formidable warrior harnessing the power of Kaiju No. 8. It’s truly amazing to witness his transformation and the respect he’s earned from even the most skeptical members of the Defense Force, including Mina Ashiro.

In the latest installment of “Kaiju No. 8,” titled Chapter 111, released in early July, we witness a thrilling blend of action, stunning visuals, and heightened drama between Kafka Hibino and Mina Ashiro. The commander of the Third Division, who possesses Kaiju No. 8’s abilities, joins forces with him to confront their greatest adversary yet: Kaiju No. 9. The stakes have risen significantly as the duo tackles this formidable foe, while the First and Third Divisions work tirelessly to manage other Kaiju threats. Mina and Kafka’s unrelenting determination against Kaiju No. 9 might not be enough to secure victory.

The Anti-Kaiju Defense Force has some powerful cards to play when needed, adding an extra layer of intrigue. As the focus shifts towards this intense battle between Mina and Kafka versus Kaiju No. 9, readers are given a glimmer of hope through flashbacks featuring Kafka and First Division vice-captain Soshiro Hoshina.

Kafka and Mina Work Together

The First Time Mina And Kafka Fight Side By Side

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 111: Kafka's Full Power Unleashed

From the start of “Kaiju No. 8,” readers have been introduced to the strong connection between Mina and Kafka, as well as their roles within the Anti-Kaiju Defense Force. Mina has worked diligently to become the captain of the Third Division, while Kafka repeatedly fell short in his attempts to become an officer before gaining the abilities of Kaiju No. 8. As the sole user of raw Kaiju power, Kafka has swiftly advanced within the ranks, even though he holds a lower position with the Defense Force. Surprisingly, despite possessing limited strength outside of his Kaiju No. 8 form, Kafka is now considered indispensable to the Defense Force and their quest for victory.

Previously in the story, Kafka’s long-held desire to fight alongside Mina became a reality, even if it was during a desperate moment. This unexpected alliance between Kafka, captain of the Third Division, and his childhood friend Mina, brought about by Kafka saving Mina when all seemed lost, sets an intriguing stage for their teamwork in “Kaiju No. 8”. For the first time, Kafka experiences the fulfillment of his childhood dreams as he stands next to Mina, battling the formidable Kaiju threats together. In reminiscent scenes, we learn that Kafka’s ultimate aspiration was to be by Mina’s side in their joint missions against the monstrous creatures. Presently, not only does this collaboration take place on a grand scale, but Kafka is now equivalent to Mina in power, having mastered the abilities of Kaiju No. 8.

As a gamer, I used to think that having a Kaiju ally with our Defense Force captain was an impossible scenario. But Kafka, surprising us all, has proven himself worthy of respect and trust from even the most skeptical among us in the Third Division. They believe in him, still seeing him as Kafka Hibino. And now, Mina stands bravely by his side, knowing that with each other’s backs covered, we can face Kaiju No. 9 with renewed confidence. What a breathtaking moment, setting us up for the thrilling conclusion of this epic battle.

Kafka’s Secret Training Comes Into Play

Training With Soshiro Begins To Pay Off

In a flashback scene, we find Kafka on the brink of being discharged from the Defense Force due to his body gradually transforming back into its human form at an abnormally slow pace. A hand of his remains in its Kaiju form, foreshadowing the frightening prospect that one day he may be permanently stuck in this monstrous form and unable to revert. Recognizing the predicament, Soshiro Hoshina, second-in-command of the Third Division, extends a helping hand. He instructs Kafka in the martial arts techniques unique to the Hoshina lineage. As a result, Kafka learns to incorporate these methods with the Defense Force’s training, granting him the flexibility to alter his fighting style during combat and wield an intelligence that surpasses any Kaiju’s understanding.

As a fan, I’d describe it like this: I’ve watched Kaiju No. 9 devour General Shinomiya and master the Defense Force’s combat techniques. But Hoshina isn’t one to be outdone. Determined to surprise Kaiju No. 9, she’s been working tirelessly on a unique fighting style, different from what the Defense Force teaches. Every day, for hours on end, Hoshina and I would spar against each other, pushing each other to our limits. One technique I’ve begun to grasp is using my lower body as a powerhouse, transferring that energy into my strikes. This new style has proven effective – my revitalized attacks have left Kaiju No. 9 off balance.

In Soshina’s lessons, the pivotal point is that Kafka can manage Kaiju No. 8’s berserk form. His enhanced abilities and heightened consciousness should enable him to command this form, which once left General Shinomiya powerless in their confrontation. Previously uncontrollable for Kafka, the berserk form now seems to be a thing of the past due to his recent advancements. Although stronger than before, the berserk form carries the downside of loss of control. However, with Kafka’s newfound powers, this issue appears to have been resolved.

The Defense Force’s Trump Card

Mina Ashiro’s Return To The Battle

As Kaiju No. 8 and Kaiju No. 9 clash violently, Mina recovers and manages to emerge from Kaiju No. 9’s control, freeing herself from her fragile mental condition. With her heavy weapons out of reach, Mina can only rely on her handgun and assist Kafka against the larger Kaiju threats. During one of Kafka’s berserk transformations, it becomes clear that he can only maintain this state for a mere minute before his body starts to suffer severe consequences. Seizing this opportunity, Kafka sets his plan into motion, employing the hidden combat techniques from Soshiro that were previously shared with him to weaken Kaiju No. 9.

As I watch the scene unfold, I excitementately anticipate the Defense Force’s strategy to reintegrate Mina into the fray. Armed with an oversized weapon, I proudly welcome back my favorite fighter as she re-enters the battlefield, filled with renewed purpose and determination. With her Anti-Giant-Class Kaiju Rail Gun, Mina unleashes her immense power, striking targets from a remarkable 20-kilometer distance. As Kaiju No. 9 is positioned on defense and confronted by Kafka’s innovative assaults, I eagerly await the moment when Mina seizes this opportunity to deliver a decisive blow, one that could potentially end the battle and bring down Kaiju No. 9 once and for all.

As I approach drop site #14, my heart races with excitement. My weapons are fully charged and at the ready, preparing me to face Kaiju No. 9, the greatest threat to humanity. The anticipation is thick in the air as I take aim with my signature weapon. This could be it – the final battle of Chapter 112 in Kaiju No. 8. It’s a moment that fans have been eagerly awaiting, and I can hardly contain my enthusiasm at the thought of contributing to the triumph of Mina and Kafka. The outcome of this epic showdown remains uncertain, but with just a few weeks until we find out where the series goes next, the suspense is almost unbearable.

Fans can easily access and read Kaiju No. 8 for free through official channels: on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps from Viz Media. The next installment, Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 112, is scheduled to come out on August 15, 2024.
