Kaiju No. 8 chapter 105 begins with a focus on the evacuation shelters, where Kafka is recognized by civilians he previously saved in his monster form. The other Defense Force members also received word of his arrival and were shown to be happy about it. Kafka apologized to Mina for being late and thanked Bakko for allowing him to catch No. 9 off guard. No. 9 then realized that the No. 6 weapon was what allowed Kafka to make it here.

Soshiro Hoshina then reminded Kafka that they were on limited time as Kafka began preparing for the imminent fight. He promised to win no matter what as the two silently approached each other, with civilians and Defense Force members alike watching the fight's stream with bated breath. Kafka and No. 9 traded blows briefly before No. 9 said that the fact that Kafka was even standing there was but a slight miscalculation that could be remedied.

As it seemed Kafka and No. 9 were evenly matched, Kafka said he'd come prepared as he remembered Hoshina's training. Transferring power from his legs into his upper body, he hit No. 9 with a punch that impressed the beast. It is revealed that Kafka is using the Troop Style Hand-to-Hand Combat, which Isao Shinomiya perfected. The chapter ended with Kafka looking determined as No. 9 looked almost worried.

With their fight having officially begun, Kaiju No. 8 chapter 106 should mainly be action-packed and see No. 9 desperately searching through what's left of Isao's memories for a way to counter the technique. However, it'll likely prove undeterrable thanks to Kafka's immense strength in his kaiju form.

Chapter 106 should also see No. 9 begin teasing some lore about Kafka's monster form, especially considering the recent teases of No. 9's true age and origins. More likely than not, fans will get a fairly in-depth flashback explaining No. 9's origins before his fight with Kafka ends.
