The choice of Kafka in his kaiju version is not a matter of chance. In this episode we could see the return of the strange Kaiju No. 9, a hostile being with an intelligence far superior to that of other monsters that did not hesitate to attack Iharu and Reno. Kafka Hibino, transformed into a kaiju, did not take too long to appear and confront this adversary, who was very close to ending the lives of our protagonist's allies.
Unfortunately, the battle was left unfinished due to the appearance of several members of the Defense Force, who soon arrived. consider this version of Kafka as another enemy that they had to demolish, thus causing our hero to leave the place unable to defeat Kaiju No. 9.
The origin and the true intentions of this new enemy They are some of the most important mysteries of this new action anime. On the other hand, the illustration made by the mangaka also reminds us how scary Kafka Hibino can be with this transformationcompletely contrasting his kindness and comedic moments with Kikoru Shinomiya in previous episodes.
