2. Salty's Secret - Salty loves the sea, and is disappointed when he finds his new job at the Quarry. Much to Bill, Ben and Mavis' surprise, he handles the Troublesome Trucks so well that he finishes the job in no time.
3. The Fogman - One day in foggy Misty Valley, the fat controller replaces Cyril with a foghorn that is so loud that rocks fall and block the tracks and crush the foghorn. Thomas can't see a thing and crashes but Cyril comes to the rescue.
4. Jack Frost - It's freezing and Thomas frightens Percy by teasing him about Jack Frost but James isn't frightened at all. In the dark of night, snow arrives and covers Percy. James sees Percy covered in frost and thinks it's Jack Frost. Frightened, he races back to the sheds but the next morning brags to the others and pretends that he met Jack Frost. Percy exposes his charade and they all had a good laugh.
5. Scaredy Engines - It's Halloween and Thomas, Percy and Duck are sent to the Smelter's yard to collect some scrap. But after Edward's spooky ghost stories, Percy is scared and Thomas teases Percy about ghosts. Later, Thomas begins to hear strange noises and sees spooks everywhere. Thomas then apologises to Percy for teasing him.
6. Percy and the Haunted Mine - It's competition time for 'The Most Beautiful Station' on the Island of Sodor. On his way to Maithwaite, Percy, scared as usual, sees a chimney and building sink into the ground near the mine. In the end, all is explained.
7. Middle Engine - None of the engines like being a middle engine. Being a middle engine causes Percy problems at The Coaling Plant where he is turned upside down!
8. James and the Red Balloon - With the arrival of The Hot Air Balloon, James and Thomas are afraid it will take the engines' passenger traffic away. However, they learn that the hot air balloon has attracted so many holiday makers, that their passenger traffic has increased.

Chapter 35

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Thirty-Five** is the 35th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series.

## Summary

Despite Director General Isao Shinomiya's claim that beings that can stop bullets with their flesh cannot be called human, Kafka Hibino states once more that he is not Kaiju No. 8, but a human. Unconvinced, Director General Shinomiya unlocks weapon FS-1002, and begins to attack Kafka once again. Despite the clear increase in strength, Kafka vows to not fully transform, in order to prove he is still human. This plan quickly becomes ineffective, as Director General Shinomiya's first attack not only destroys the ground of the facility, but severs Kafka's transformed arm as well.

Shinomiya's second attack sends Kafka into the roof, forcing him to partially transform most of his body and face, so as not to be killed by the blow. As the battle continues, Kafka realizes he's getting the same feeling from Director General Shinomiya that he gets whenever he fights numbered kaiju.

Deputy Director Keiji Itami remarks to an onlooking Kikoru Shinomiya that the specialized gauntlet and suit (FS-1002) Chief Shinomiya is using to fight, are created from the body of Kaiju No. 2; a monster so overwhelming it almost drove Sapporo City to destruction decades prior, and the only person capable of wielding this power is Director General Shinomiya himself.

Kafka finds himself quickly losing ground in the fight against Director General Shinomiya, and is unable to fully dodge a strike that completely destroys Kafka's legs. Now that Kafka is unable to move anymore, Director General Shinomiya delivers a devastating strike.

Chapter 29

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Twenty-Nine** is the 29th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series.

## Summary

The chapter begins with a flashback of Soshiro Hoshina’s past, where he was highly discouraged to give up on his dreams to join the defense force because of his style of combat. Back to the present, Okonogi screams for Soshiro’s name, desperate for signs of life. As he is, Soshiro is energetic about things nevertheless and assures her he’s still alive. Soshiro struggles to stand up and is informed of the citizen having been evacuated and he vows to carry out his duty to the end. Despite his efforts, Kaiju No. 10 only mocks Soshiro for even trying as he doesn’t believe his weak swords can do anything. Although Soshiro does not answer, internally, he knows that his swords aren’t so much useful as bigger weapons as he had been told that his entire life.

In another flashback, his father and a former co-worker of his both tell him to unenroll the defense force. This is the reason why he had been so inspired by Mina Ashiro since she didn’t dismiss his strength simply because he practiced sword fighting and instead wanted his power by her side since could easily make paths for her when she was to shoot enemies. Once more back to the present, Soshiro continues to fight recklessly and uses nearly all his six forms in the process. Despite his best efforts, he is still easily caught by the kaiju.

On Kafka’s side of things, he rushes to aid Soshiro. Although he remembers Leno Ichikawa telling him not to transform again, Kafka apologizes to him and does so anyway. Leno is highly against this but even before Kafka can join the fight, Soshiro simply laughs and turns off an explosion as he claims he had only been making way for Mina to fire (as she told him to do so in the past) the kaiju. With a 96% released force, Mina arrives with her tiger, Bakko, and cannon ready.

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Twenty** is the 20th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series.

## Summary

As Soshiro is about to attack, Kafka brainstorms of what he can do to counter his attacks. He immediately dismisses punching him but his thoughts are soon interrupted when Soshiro slices his chest and finally injures Kafka. Kafka then realizes that he would not be able to defeat Soshiro by holding back and remembers that the defense force’s suits are organic weapons made from incorporating parts of defeated kaiju. This means that the higher the released force, the more power the suit brings out. Kafka admits that he initially thought it was foolish when seeing Kikoru’s movements but when facing Soshiro’s inhumane-like abilities, he was proven wrong.

Thinking he dodged one of Soshiro’s attacks, Kafka drops a guard a little but a seemingly invisible slash attack (which cuts of his hand) immediately alarms him. Kafka then realizes that regeneration requires a lot of energy so it would be best for him to try to attack. On the other hand, Soshiro is struggling as well and deems Kafka a “mega monster” because of his great power. Soshiro internally admits that he senses a small sense of discomfort but dismisses it quickly.

Soshiro then decides to use an attack made up of a cross of invisible blades that allows him to use a third strike if it were to miss, which he does against Kafka. At this, Soshiro thinks he’s got closer to defeating the kaiju but Kafka doesn’t allow the blade to leave his body, which makes Soshiro panic. Kafka prepares to punch Soshiro, but he quickly avoids it. As the sun rises, Kafka escapes, which leaves Soshiro unsatisfied but not afraid to inform the defense force of his failure.

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Thirteen** is the 13th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series

## Summary

After dismissing the rookies to their mission, Soshiro awaits for them to impress him. In the E District, Kafka remarks that he feels oddly calm for such a threat coming his way and follows this by starting to release force. Despite his determination, Kafka gets ignored by the kaiju and Kikoru scolds him for being too lenient. Seeing this, one of the senior members is already exhausted at the prospect of taking care of the rookies. With this, he tells them to get into formation to attack. Positioned on a roof, Kikoru shoots the kaiju with her released force, which surprises the senior member because he didn’t expect a rookie to have such strength. Kafka is also impressed by congratulates Kikoru for her achievement.

At the Ikaruga platoon, Ikaruga leads his group to attack and congratulates Iharu for his great work. After this, Iharu looks to Leno, wanting him to be impressed but sees that Leno caused far more damage than him. Despite this, Leno isn’t cocky and explains to Iharu about the bullet trait he used to dull the kaiju’s movements. Nevertheless, Leno still isn’t satisfied with himself as he doesn’t deem himself strong enough to prevent Kafka’s transformations. In the Nakanoshima platoon, she is proud of her own group’s progress, seeing that Haruichi and Aoi were causing a lot of damage themselves there. Seeing the two interact, Nakanoshima describes the two in exaggerated adjectives and considers officially putting them in her platoon.

Back to the E District, Kafka acknowledges that he is only being a nuisance when seeing his comrades fight but is determined not to cease. As he dissects the monsters, the other defense troupe members are confused at what he is doing and finds a weak spot for attackers to aim at, which is the base of the neck. He informs Soshiro of this, and his platoon leader congratulates Kafka of his discovery. Kafka, proud that he was able to be of some use, is delighted at the idea that he can still have chances to fight by Mina’s side one day. However, his thoughts are interrupted when Soshiro tells Kafka to make way for Mina’s canon as she fires.

Chapter 24

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Twenty-Four** is the 24th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series.

## Summary

Soshiro is reflecting on kaiju No. 8 and No. 9, who both had human features and wonders about what was happening with kaijus. On Kafka’s side of things, he is eager to sharpen his training in order to meet Soshiro’s expectations. However, as he heads back to the dorms, a shower of meteors covers the whole city and wakes up the defense force members. In the panic, Soshiro demands Konomi of the situation’s whereabouts. She speculates that kaijus have infiltrated the area and that they are all base monster leveled. Her estimation is proven to be right when one monster fires a cannon-like attack from its mouth.

At this, Soshiro orders all the night guards to be on duty and speculates that the kaijus’ objectives may be the base as he received no reports of the base being damaged. Not far away, Kafka recognizes the base being surrounded by flames and is able to identify a pterosaur-type kaiju. Kafka contacts Soshiro about all the kaijus being solitary and their numbers. With this information, Soshiro is convinced that a powerful leader is behind the attack, as another humanoid kaiju appears in front of him. Soshiro then alerts Kafka to call him back as he wishes to deal with the incoming kaiju.

Chapter 89

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Eighty Nine** is the 89th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series.

## Summary

In a flashback, Soshiro's father praises Soichiro's flawless combat abilities, citing him as the Hoshina family's ultimate incarnation. Soshiro recalls that for as long as he can remember, he was seen as an inferior version of his older brother.

Cutting to the present, Soshiro backs away from Kaiju No. 12, both of his blades having been broken by the kaiju's surprise attack at the end of the previous chapter. He remarks that his opponent outshines Kaiju No. 10 in all aspects. No. 10 confirms that No. 12 is without a doubt the finished product. As it dawns on Soshiro that he and his suit are both rejects of superior siblings, No. 10 shouts for Hoshina to dodge as No. 12's leg plants firmly into the ground. Hoshina barely manages to avoid being decapitated as No. 12 instantly closes the gap and delivering a horizontal slash, destroying the entire wall of the airport.

Soshiro reaffirms that he and No. 10 are cutting down their enemy, asking Okonogi to deploy his katana as the kaiju suit grins with excitement. He notes that despite his efforts, he cannot bring out a release force higher than 83% and that a change of strategy is required to have any chance of winning. Though lamenting his inferiority in single-blade swordsmanship compared to his older brother, Soshiro holds the blade by his side.

In a more recent flashback, Soshiro and Okonogi discuss a backup measure to counteract the possibility that Kaiju No. 9 may have been observing his fight with No. 10. Okonogi remarks Soshiro's low aptitude for firearms, stating that his life is centered on the blade. Kaiju No. 12 assumes a stance and charges towards Soshiro, who responds by drawing his sword and delivering two cuts to No. 12 before sheathing it behind him, one of which severs the kaiju's left hand.
