Chapter 25

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Twenty-Five** is the 25th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series.

## Summary

Soshiro Hoshina spots Kaiju No. 10 and immediately recognizes him as the attacking kaiju’s leader. He quickly surprises Soshiro by asking about the strongest person he could fight. Soshiro concludes that he would have to fight him as Mina, the commander, wasn’t there. The humanoid kaiju then decides on his “prey” and releases a powerful force from his palm, Soshiro is barely able to dodge it. At this Konomi has finalized the process of deciding the monster’s class and determines it to be a mega monster. Upon learning this, Soshiro contacts Ikaruga and orders him to take command of handling the after-beasts.

As the Vice Captain calls Ikaruga, Kaiju No. 10 takes this time to attack Soshiro. However, he is easily able to dodge it and vows to kill the kaiju. Shortly after, Soshiro notices the after-beasts starting to respond and confirms his thoughts that they had been targeting the base. Soshiro avoids another attack from the kaiju and tells himself to make sure to keep avoiding them as getting hit by one could be fatal. As he tries to slash through the kaiju’s skin, he deems it even harder than No. 8’s.

On the east side of the base, Ikaruga is shown to have followed Soshiro’s orders and commands his officers to fire, but they do not leave a single scratch. On his own, Kafka hurries up to put on his suit and this is the time Leno calls him. On their side of things, Haruichi and Aoi leap into the attack. Haruichi’s released force is revealed to be 36% but doesn’t have enough time to fire before another kaiju shows up next to him. Seeing the two kaijus attacking, Haruichi is alarmed at how they are cooperating. To ease her co-workers’ worry, Kikoru breaks through the kaijus with an enormous ax.

Chapter 28

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Twenty-Eight** is the 28th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series.

## Summary

Although he does not know of Soshiro Hoshina’s exact whereabouts, Kafka can still sense that he is in trouble. In fact, he is correct as the kaiju Soshiro is facing, the Kaiju No. 10 is regenerating into a larger specimen after having been sliced multiple times. As this happens, Soshiro is glad that he brought an ultra-high temperature steam capsule. Despite this, the kaiju is still not damaged, which makes Konomi conclude that he has a resilience of 9.0. Although he seems to be losing, Soshiro continues to dodge the kaiju’s attacks, now stronger than ever and manages to climb onto him.

Referring back to his hatred of fighting larger kaijus, Soshiro speculates that his blades would never go through all the way. As he is about to attack, Soshiro’s suit reaches its limit because of overheating, which makes him realize that his life could be in further danger if he continues to use his suit in the same conditions. With this, Soshiro decides that he would simply have to finish the kaiju off in a minute. However, Soshiro’s troubles deepen when he spots after-beasts as well and the kaiju self-destructs. Additionally, as Soshiro is about to attack from behind, huge eyes sprout from behind the enormous kaiju and it throws a powerful punch.

At this, Konomi loses hope, especially when seeing Soshiro to the ground, seemingly defeated.

Chapter 12

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Twelve** is the 12th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series.

## Summary

The bus heading to the monster’s location carries the newly-appointed defense force members, and as they settle in and prepare themselves for their first mission, Soshiro reminds them of their duty. As they are sitting in front of each other, Kikoru refers to what Kafka had told her about his monster form at a restaurant nearby. Despite her shock, Kikoru promised to keep Kafka’s monster identity a secret as he would have to go through intense examination and lose his new job if he were to share it. However, Kikoru tells Kafka that if he were to harm others, she’ll make sure to kill him. With this, Kafka accepts Kikoru’s conditions. Her thoughts are soon interrupted when she looks at Kafka and he is about to barf due to nervousness.

At the base, Leno and Kafka took a look at the monster they are tasked to eliminate and are impressed by its size. Not far away, Soshiro informs the rookies of the monster’s status and their tasks to defeat it. With this, he also reveals that Mina is leading another squad to take care of the base monster, so the rookies would only have to worry about the after-monsters rather than the bigger threat. Before they leave, he wishes them his best regards. After this, Kafka has one last talk with Leno about his excitement to start the mission and Leno shows his support for his friend. Subsequently, Kikoru leaps ahead of Kafka.

Kanji Nagamine

**Kanji Nagamine** (長 (なが) 嶺 (みね)  カンジ, *Nagamine Kanji*) was one of the victims of Kaiju No. 9 and its second disguise.

## Appearance

Kanji was a tall young man with short black hair, big eyes and a square jaw.

He wore a simple white shirt and glasses.

## Personality

Kanji seemed to be a rather impatient man.

## Plot

### Sagamihara Subjugation Operation Arc

At some point, as he was driving, he came across a strange man standing in the middle of the road. As he approached the man, Kanji observed as the man turned into a kaiju and proceeded to kill and consume him. Then the kaiju proceeded to take his appearance and identity as his new disguise while keeping a low profile.

## Etymology

* Kanji's surname **Nagamine** contains the kanji for "long, chief, boss" (長, *naga*) and "peak, summit" (嶺, *mine*).
Ryunei Shrine

**Ryunei Shrine** (龍 (りゅう) 寧 (ねい) 神社, *Ryūnei Jinja*) is a commemorative shrine.

## Exterior

Ryunei Shrine has the appearance of a classical Shinto shrine, with two Komainu at the entrance.

## History

Ever since the Edo Period, the spirits of those who perished while neutralizing kaiju have been reunited in Ryunei Shrine.

In 1657, in the the Meireki Era, a horde of Daikaiju attacked Japan and most of the Edo and Kanto region where burned to the ground, along with the place where Ryunei Shrine is located.

## Plot

### The Compatible User Arc

Soshiro Hoshina brought Kafka Hibino here to train him in hand-to-hand combat. Explaining to him the story of Ryunei Shrine, the two then had a brief sparring session. Before leaving, Kafka had an mysterious vision of a samurai-like figure, who promptly disappeared after showing itself to Kafka.

## Etymology

* **Ryunei** contains the kanji for "dragon" (龍, *ryū*) and "peace" (寧, *nei*).

## Trivia

* The Daikaiju cataclysm in the Meireki era mentioned by Soshiro seeems to be the in-universe cause of the Great fire of Meireki, a real historical event which consisted in a fire that burnt roughly 70% of Tokyo on March 2, 1657. For this reason, Ryunei Shrine is possibly located in the Hongō district.
* Given the context of Numbers Weapons users being able to see the "memories" of the previous owner and/or kaiju in the following chapters, the samurai-like figure that Kafka sees may be a previous form of the unidentified kaiju that invaded Kafka's body, marking the very first kaiju/human hybrid, but this is yet to be proven.
	+ However, there is also the possibility that this figure may be a recollection of the spirits of those who perished fighting kaiju in the Edo period.
	+ This idea can also be debunked considering that the kaiju possessing Kafka turns his heart (and itself) into a core, meaning that if a previous owner died then the kaiju would have to go along with it.

Chapter 18

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Eighteen** is the 18th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series.

## Summary

The Kaiju No. 9 sees Kafka’s kaiju form and recognizes him as the “rumored” kaiju no. 8. Kafka puts an injured Leno down as he prepares for another attack and asks him to stay put. Despite knowing of Kafka’s great strength as a kaiju, Leno is worried nevertheless. The Humanoid kaiju isn’t so surprised by Kafka’s arrival but is confused as to why he is aiding humans as a kaiju, though he reveals that he still wants to use his corpse as one of his pawns because of his enormous power. After saying this, he shoots Kafka’s chest twice. Seeing Kafka bleed, Leno is shocked as he did not expect Kafka to get injured in his kaiju form.

Despite the kaiju not looking intimidated, he prepares even more grotesque weapons from his body. Seeing this, Iharu realizes that he had just been warming up against him and Leno. Instead of being fearful, Kafka is outraged that the kaiju had been firing such things in Leno and Iharu’s bodies, which alarms Leno. Kafka immediately launches forward and lets out an extremely powerful roar, though the humanoid kaiju stays indifferent. Despite this, the kaiju is confused, which allows Kafka to throw multiple punches at him. Trying to block the punches, the kaiju releases a wall of corpses to let him time to regenerate, but Kafka breaks the wall before he can do so.

Recognizing that Kafka has the upper hand, the kaiju decides that he should retreat but had no opening to do so because of Kafka’s many attacks. Kafka then hits the kaiju’s core. This does not kill him but leaves him unable to move. Looking forward to his victory, Kafka is about to finish the battle but the Dfense Force arrives and prepares to attack Kafka as he is still in his kaiju form.

## Chapter Notes

* As the Humanoid Kaiju recognizes Kaiju No. 8, the latter puts Leno down and is warned by the latter to be careful.
* The Humanoid hits Kafka, before releasing a barrage of blows eventually blocked by Kafka's energy beam.
* As Kafka hits it, the kaiju tries to flee, but Kafka hits it multiple times until it's incapacitated.
* The Ikaruga Platoon Delta Squad arrives on the scene, individuating Kaiju No. 8.

Chapter 88

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Eighty Eight** is the 88th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series.

## Summary

In a flashback, Keiji Itami enters the gym to find Isao Shinomiya working out alone. He walks up to the director general and mentions how late into the night it is. Isao brushes it off, but Itami asks if he is feeling the heat from Gen Narumi's improving skills. Hesitant, Isao states that there is such a thing as being too perceptive, to which Itami smirks. He notes how Narumi's unruly behavior has landed him on the verge of being dishonorably discharged, but that Isao's workout implies Narumi's skills are surprisingly very real. Isao says the boy will be a critical member of the First Division but lacks experience in winning and losing. As he grips the handlebars of the workout station, he maintains that he refuses to back down until Narumi's behavior improves.

Now in the present, Itami asks the now dead Isao if he is watching Narumi's evolution as a competent officer as the First Division commander finally eliminates Kaiju No. 11 after an incredibly difficult battle. Narumi looks up and sticks his tongue out in defiance before asking if Isao had shed a tear witnessing how far he had come. A vision of Isao in the office stares back unfazed as an exhausted Narumi's expression slumps onto the ground, thinking how he cannot imagine what a tear in Isao's eye would look like as Kikoru silently celebrates Narumi's victory.

At Chofu Airport, Soshiro and the weaponized Kaiju No. 10 are fighting a losing battle against Kaiju No. 12. As the Third Division commander continues to rack up injuries, No. 12 knocks him back before using the moment to launch another attack. Soshiro counters its move with Sword-Slay Technique #2: Cross Slasher. Despite this, he still gains a pair of cuts on his right arm. Pushed back again, Soshiro silently remarks that No. 12 outmatches its prototype sibling in every way: speed, power, and technique. As a memory of a confined No. 10 mentioning his prototype nature resurfaces, No. 12 suddenly appears behind Soshiro, who barely manages to block a double slash from above. Soshiro's blades break off as he concludes that his opponent is the finished product.

After the Sagamihara Subjugation Operation, Tachikawa Base was attacked by a flock of wyvern-type kaiju guided by Kaiju No. 10. The Third Division of the Defense Force proceeded to protect the base, which counted multiple damages.

Kaiju No. 4

* Kaiju form
* Weapon form

**Kaiju No. 4** (怪 (かい) 獣 (じゅう) 4号 (ごう) , *Kaijū Yon-gō*) was an Identified Kaiju. After its death, it was turned into **Numbers Weapon 4** (識別怪獣兵器 (ナンバーズ) 4号 (ごう) , *Nanbāzu Yon-gō*), formerly used by Second Division Captain Hikari Shinomiya and currently used by First Division Officer Kikoru Shinomiya

## Appearance

In life, Kaiju No. 4 was a large flying monster with a flat face sporting three eyes and sharp teeth. Its body was elongated and was similar to that of a centipede. It also had multiple sets of bug-like wings on its back.

Its current appearance as a Numbers Weapon is that of a light-colored scaly suit, having two repulsors on the arms and a long skirt. The suit can also spawn a set of bug-like wings, similar to No. 4's ones, on the back.

## Personality

Even as a Numbers Weapon, Kaiju No. 4 seems to vividly remember its past user Hikari Shinomiya, since her ghost is clearly visible to its current user Kikoru Shinomiya. The Kaiju also seems to be very observational and judgemental with Kikoru.

## History

At some point Kaiju No. 4 was faced and killed by the Defense Force, eventually turning it into **Numbers Weapon 4**, formerly used by Second Division Captain Hikari Shinomiya.

## Plot

### Cataclysms Arc

Numbers Weapon 4 was given to Hikari's daughter, Kikoru Shinomiya by First Division Captain Gen Narumi. During her training with him, Kikoru witnessed her mother's ghost for the first time, with Gen revealing that the ghost is Kaiju No. 4's memories of Hikari.

### The Second Wave Arc

Kikoru later took action during the various kaiju attacks using Numbers Weapon 4. She also took on Kaiju No. 15, with Hikari's ghost appearing again during the fight.

## Powers & Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: As a Identified Kaiju, Kaiju No. 4 was an extremely powerful kaiju, enough for its neutralization to take a long time and have it earn an identification number.

### As a Kaiju

* **Flight**: Kaiju No. 4 had multiple sets of wings on its back, allowing him to fly at great speeds.
* **Immense Speed**: Since its weapon form is considered the fastest Numbers Weapon in the Defense Force arsenal, it's inferred that No. 4 itself boasted remarkable speed.

### As a Numbers Weapon

* **Wing manifestation**: Numbers Weapons 4 allows the user to manifest wings reminishent of those of Kaiju No. 4. They allow the user to fly freely in the air at high speeds.
* **Immense Speed**: Earning the moniker of fastest Numbers Weapon, the user gains umparalleled levels of speed when wearing it, easily slaying kaiju faster than the human eye can follow.

## Trivia

* Numbers Weapon 4 was originally worn by Hikari, but since Matsumoto thought about Kikoru inheriting the suit, the design was made to suit both. Since Hikari's image is that of a valkyrie, the design has a noble look with a loincloth as an accent.

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Thirty-Two** is the 32nd chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series.

## Summary

Stunned by the revelation that Kafka Hibino is in fact Kaiju No. 8, Soshiro Hoshina and Mina Ashiro watch as Kafka charges his body, and uses all of his strength to launch himself towards the after-beast bomb in the air. The resulting force shatters the ground around Kafka, knocking Hoshina and Kikoru Shinomiya to the ground.

Once close enough to the After-Beast Bomb, Kafka unleashes a punch so strong, it fractures the bone-like mask on his face, and is implied to have shattered the bones all through his arms and legs from the force released.

Kafka's attack proved effective enough to move the bomb farther from the ground, and gave the defense force on the ground enough time to fully activate their shields. Despite the damaged state of his body, Kafka's Kaiju No. 8 form is able to take the force of the explosion from the ground without flinching.

After recovering from the explosion, Mina approaches Kafka, and informs him, that they will be taking him, Kaiju No. 8, into custody.

## Chapter Chronology

**Chapter Fifteen** is the 15th chapter of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series.

## Summary

Preparing to get to work, some disposal crew members attempt to try and see Leno and Kafka at work but are interrupted by another member who is curious about one member’s whereabouts and Toku speculates that he’s most likely hiding in the bathroom again. However, he is incorrect when this member shows up examining the defeated kaijus, unaware of Leno and Iharu’s presence. Because of this, he reveals his plan of tiring the defense force with variants that split and regenerate. Leno tries to understand what he is saying but Iharu is quick to interrupt the disguised kaiju and confronts him. The kaiju is not alarmed and instead attacks him with a gun-like finger, barely missing Iharu’s heart.

Iharu, injured, falls to the ground while Leno tries to reassure him. As this happens, the kaiju transforms back into his original form and the two recognize him from their entrance exam as he defeated Kikoru. When the kaiju tells himself to take a living troop member back with him, Leno tries to contact the officers of this but they do not work as the kaiju already disabled the connection. He then attacks Leno and manages to bruh Leno’s leg. Despite this, the kaiju is still unsatisfied. As this happens, Leno remembers what the Kikoru said about the kaiju’s gun-like finger, which surprises the kaiju because he didn’t expect anyone to know about it.

The kaiju continues to fire and Leno tells Iharu to run away to alarm the more experienced member. However, because of his stubbornness, Iharu refuses to get protected by Leno. Before he can say any more Leno pushes him out of the kaiju’s shooting range. After this, Iharu finally accepts and leaves. Leno accepts that he’s afraid but remembering that he wants to become a troop member that can risk his life for his comrades, he begins to prepare to attack.

J.R. Steele

J. R. Steele is a writer, actor, audio editor, sound artist, storyboard artist, character designer, composer, and musician. Seem impossible? That’s probably because it is. An immortal being with too much time on their hands? An eldritch entity spending their time on Earth stealing people’s hobbies, names, and voices? It is entirely probable that they are both of these things.

They enjoy musicals, Shakespeare, bragging about enjoying Shakespeare, Tabletop RPGs, podcasts, and doing all of the lovely things mentioned above. They consider themselves a "jack-of-all-trades, master of none,” and tend to learn more than is strictly necessary for any given topic.
Moorgrove

Moorgrove is a small town that is fairly isolated from any surrounding cities. It has been around for over 800 rotations. it was founded by Thomas Moorgrove in the 1203 rotation, and some buildings in the town are still standing from that time. Moorgrove was originally a logging town that distributed lumber, and after a few generations the mayor decided it would be more beneficial to turn it into a self run town, because a nearby settlement was also distributing lumber which was putting the town into a bit of an economic decline.

Elmond Street is the biggest part of town and forms a loop around where most of the shops are. In the map in History of Moorgrove there are eight roads that branch of Elmond, going in all directions, which lead to houses and various privately owned businesses. Those eight does not include Moorgrove Road, which leads to The Manor. At what seems to be the "top" of Elmond Street is City Hall. One of the streets branching off to the left of Elmond is called Greenwood, and is where The Library is located. The bus stop is right on the main stretch of Elmond.

Most modern technology does not work in Moorgrove, and there are no cars, but they do have a bus.

The Library was the first building in the town, finished during the same rotation the town was founded in. it was used as a makeshift city hall as well as a shelter for the few residents that lived there at the time. The Library took almost 5 rotations to fully complete, but what History of Moorgrove describes as the "main building" only took two rotations. No information is provided as to what is not included in the "main building."

History of Moorgrove

History of Moorgrove is a book Quill checks out of the library on their first day in Moorgrove. It provides a good deal of information about the town.

It includes a map of the town, a description of which follows. The map shows that Elmond Street is the biggest part of town, and makes a large loop around the area where the shops are. There are a total of 8 roads that branch of Elmond, going in all directions, which lead to houses and various privately owned businesses. At what seems to be the "top" of Elmond Street is city hall. The Library is on a street called Greenwood, which branches off to the left of Elmond.

According to History of Moorgrove, The Library was the first building in the town, finished during the same rotation the town was founded in. it was used as a makeshift city hall as well as a shelter for the few residents that lived there at the time. The Library took almost 5 rotations to fully complete, but what History of Moorgrove describes as the "main building" only took two rotations. It does not provide information as to what is not included in the "main building."

It provides no information whatsoever about Moorgrove Road or The Manor. It does not mention them at all, even in passing, and they are not pictured on the map.

When Quill first talks to Abby on their 5th day in Moorgrove, she tells them to return it to the library. They end up returning it on their 7th day in Moorgrove.

On Quill's 22nd day in Moorgrove they discover History of Moorgrove in a stone coffin in the caves. It is the same copy they had checked out and even has their name in the check out card in the front, but all the pages are blank.

On their 23rd day Quill, along with Essa, take History of Moorgrove back to the library. Liv says she doesn't think anyone has checked it out since Quill returned it, and that she doesn't keep track of what visitors do with books as long as they aren't broken and are returned.
Charlie

Charlie is the owner of the plants and gardening supplies shop, where Quill gets Cactus Martin. He also tells Quill that Moorgrove was originally a logging town that distributed lumber, and after a few generations the mayor decided it would be more beneficial to turn it into a self run town, because a nearby settlement was also distributing lumber which was putting the town into a bit of an economic decline.
The Host

## Physical Appearance

It is said to look like "staring into space but with no stars" and "on the smaller side" by Quill and itself, respectively, in episode 13.

## Personality

The Host is a straight-forward being who speaks concisely and doesn't often beat around the bush. It is critical of who it works with, who it trusts, and what information it reveals to those it does.

## History

The Host is a being who has been in town since shortly after it's formation. It was formerly a being called "the Unknown" but became the Host when it created the Librarian and the Protector.

It is revealed in episode 13 that the Host's name is Calinox, and it is about 6'000 rotations old. It seems to not like or get along with Aris (formerly Alasdair) and though it tolerates and works with them, it seems to dislike the Todds as well.

The Library

The Library is on Greenwood Street, which branches off to the left of Elmond. It was the first building in the town, finished during the same rotation the town was founded in. it was used as a makeshift city hall as well as a shelter for the few residents that lived there at the time. Although it took almost 5 rotations to fully complete, what History of Moorgrove describes as the "main building" only took two rotations. Further information as to what is not included in the "main building" was not provided. When Quill asks Liv about what parts of the library are the main building and what else took 3 more rotations to build, Liv says (after a long pause) that it was just storage, where they keep extra or broken books.

From a birds eye view, The Library is shaped like a half circle that is not particularly large, with the flat side facing the street. The front of the building is a flat brick face with four columns placed symmetrically on either side of the front doors. It has two floors, and seems larger on the inside. Liv puts a sign outside that reads "we're open, we have been for a while now." This is apparently because people kept thinking it was closed and never coming in.

The Library seems to change organizational systems every few days. Examples of these systems include: Dewey Decimal, alphabetically by author, and a Caesar Shift by 13 from however it was the day before. Liv does not appear to know how the library is reorganized, but is not overly concerned about it.
Danny Caladium Atropis Haynes

They spend their free time cooking, singing, playing RPGs, and compiling lists of their favourite poisonous plants.

They are the voice of "Voicemail" in *The Domestic Life of Anthony Todd*, and occasionally write poetry, when the wind is pointed right.
C.V.V.M.

C.V.V.M. is many things, but mostly a voice actor, a writer, and a cool person. It spends it's time doing ridiculous and esoteric things like learning to kayak, taking intricate notes for Dungeons & Dragons games, and sewing historical clothing.

It plays Liv and The Host on *The Domestic Life of Anthony Todd*, and it is the (co)producer of a podcast soon to be released to the public.
The Manor

The Manor is the place of residence of Anthony, Abby, and Eziander.

The Manor is huge and looks to be at least several hundred rotations old. Despite this, it is not mentioned anywhere in History of Moorgrove. It has a gravel path leading up to the front doors from the road, and gardens to the front and back. There is ivy on the stone exterior of the walls, though it looks to be growing there mainly for the aesthetic. The back garden is full of flowers, fruit trees, and other assorted plants.

The front doors have and intricate metal knocker. Inside the front doors is the entryway, which is made primarily from dark wood. The ceiling is high and from it hangs a rustic chandelier, and large openings reveal a room on either side. A staircase leads up from the entryway to a second floor which can be seen behind a wooden railing, and a hallway stretches back from beside the base of the stairs.

The room to the right of the entryway is a sitting room. From the sitting room you can access a hallway, a set of doors off of which leads to a library. In the library, two of the walls are lined with bookshelves, and the other two have floor to ceiling windows. On the right wall, nestled in among the bookshelves is a fireplace. From the windows in the library, the back garden can be seen.
