Kaiju No. 8
Editions
The Eastern Division has been attacked by identified-class kaiju. Narumi and Kikoru have taken care of their targets, but Hoshina is still facing off against No. 12, the finished project that No. 10 served as the prototype for. Even worse, Numbers Weapon 10 won’t output more than 83 percent unleashed combat power, making this battle even more of a struggle for Hoshina!
Mina Ashiro falls into the clutches of Kaiju No. 9 after its emergence in Tachikawa. Kafka goes to rescue her, but daikaiju start emerging in several places across the city, impeding his progress. The situation becomes even more complicated when he picks up on a new kaiju presence and a never-before-seen entity reveals itself!
Thanks to the efforts of the new generation of soldiers, Kafka makes it in time to save Mina Ashiro from Kaiju No. 9. Not only that, he has a host of improved Defense Force–style combat techniques tailored to fight his enemy. But with Kaiju No. 9 able to access the absorbed Isao Shinomiya and his wealth of martial arts knowledge, will Kafka’s refined battle techniques stand a chance?
Fulfilling his childhood promise, Kafka moves to neutralize Kaiju No. 9 by Mina Ashiro’s side. Amid an extreme back-and-forth battle, No. 8’s berserk mode cracks No. 9’s shield and pierces the core, but it turns out that’s not the source of No. 9’s power!
With his childhood dream in his heart, Kafka makes his choice—to give up his human form for the sake of humanity. He transforms for the final time into Kaiju No. 8 and takes his last stand against the historic cataclysm—the Daikaiju of the Meireki Era! Can he put a stop to this unprecedented foe before it plunges the world into destruction? Find out in the thrilling conclusion!
