After the events of the latest episode of the anime, many viewers are wondering where to pick up the Kaiju No. 8 manga after episode 10. This question has arisen due to the protagonist Kafka Hibino’s revelation of his Kaiju powers to his Kaiju Defense Force comrades and subsequent arrest.
Similarly, fans’ main worry is if the Kaiju No. 8 manga has properly concluded this storyline and what will become of Kafka. Fortunately, Naoya Matsumoto’s manga series has advanced far beyond the scope of the first season of the anime adaptation, and is able to offer resolution to these questions.
Dive into the Kaiju No. 8 Manga After Episode 10 to Discover Kafka’s Ultimate Fate
After episode 10 of Kaiju No. 8, those who have only watched the anime and are interested in reading the manga can begin with chapter 33. The events of episode 10 cover the second half of chapter 28 and fully adapt chapters 29, 30, 31, and 32. Additionally, viewers will be pleased to know that the Tachikawa Base Arc concludes in episode 10, allowing them to start reading the Captured Arc from the beginning in the first chapter of the manga.
This marks the fourth story arc in the overall series, with the anime having fully adapted the previous three. As a result, fans do not need to refer back to earlier arcs that were omitted from the anime adaptation. Furthermore, not only has the anime covered the manga in its entirety thus far, but it has also incorporated some original scenes that have been positively received by readers of the manga.
Exploring the Kaiju No. 8 Captured Arc: An Explanation for Fans
Regardless, readers who begin reading the Kaiju No. 8 manga after episode 10 will witness Kafka being transferred to the First Division’s base at Ariake Maritime Base. However, prior to this, they will witness Reno Ichikawa, Mina Ashiro, and the other members of the Third Division openly showing their support for Kafka, despite knowing his secret.
The upcoming arc will feature the official introduction of Kikoru Shinomiya’s father, Director General Isao Shinomiya, along with other prominent members of the Defense Force. They will be seen discussing the best course of action to take with Kafka, which ultimately results in a fierce sparring session between Isao and Kafka. The intense battle will push Kafka to lose control of his body and unleash his inner animalistic instincts.
The Kaiju No. 8 manga also solidifies for fans that the Kaiju which “infected”Kafka is indeed still alive and residing within him, at least in a spiritual sense if not a physical one. Despite this, Kafka manages to regain control of his body and persuades Isao to spare his life and utilize him as a powerful weapon. He is also informed that he must demonstrate his value in order to survive, further confirming that his survival is dependent on his usefulness to the organization.
In Summation
Despite the potential anticlimactic nature of the events in the manga following episode 10, this is primarily because the series utilizes Kafka’s capture as a catalyst for the next major arc. As fans continue reading, they will discover how the events of the Kaiju No. 8 Captured Arc, both those mentioned and those not mentioned, lay the foundation for one of the most impressive war arcs in modern shonen.
