Chapter Eight is the 8th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series
Summary[]
The remaining members of the defense force who had not been fighting earlier all rush to evacuate the examination site. As they make sure everyone is safe, Kafka learns that Kikoru is still inside trying to fight back. Leno is hesitant about what to do, but before he can decide, Kafka is already gone to save Kikoru. At this, he fears Kafka is going to transform and reveal his identity and get killed but admires his friend’s bravery. As Kafka transforms into a kaiju, Kikoru is confused but Kafka begs her to keep this a secret. Before she can answer, the kaiju attacks them and Kafka assures Kikoru that he’ll clear things up once he defeats the kaiju. Although Konomi she does not know it is him, she senses a sudden burst of energy coming from where Kikoru and Kafka are and informs Soshiro and Mina of this. Soshiro is confused about this as well but speculates that Kaiju no. 8 is at fault for this.
Kafka does his best to fight his opponent, though he also tries to do it as fast as possible in order to end things quickly, which he tells the opposing kaiju himself as he thrusts him to the ground. He then punches his opponent, which almost blows Kikoru away as Kafka destroys the kaiju. Although the kaiju is able to regenerate, Kafka knows that its powers won’t allow him to heal from taking so much damage. The kaiju starts to regenerate but isn’t able to, making Kafka’s speculations correct. An after beast appears from this kaiju, but Kafka easily defeats this.
After doing so, he smiles at Kikoru and transforms back into a human and Kafka strictly tells her not to put herself into such dangers again. At this, Leno finds Kafka and scolds him for revealing his powers. Kafka tries to talk himself out of it but fails. Seeing this, Kikoru is still confused but does not try to clear things up as she is too exhausted and faints. After this, Ashiro and Soshiro finally arrive.
