Kaiju No. 8 chapter 106 recap

Expand Tweet

Kaiju No. 8 chapter 106 began with Kafka swearing to win as he began using Troop Style combat, known as the method of fighting Isao Shinomiya perfected.

While Kafka’s blows were dealing massive damage to the surrounding area, No. 9 seemed relatively unfazed. Officers commented on how this match is highlighting humanity’s fragility, while also recognizing that No. 9 has Isao’s memories.

Likewise, No. 9 said he knows how Kafka fights, also beginning to use Troop Style to mirror and counter Kafka’s use. No. 9 even began predicting Kafka’s moves thanks to Isao’s memories, with Isao being known as the style’s strongest user ever.

No. 9 then told Kafka that he never met his expectations for him before landing another hit, starting a flashback. Here, Soshiro Hoshina told Kafka that Troop Style won’t cut it with No. 9 because it has Isao’s memories.

Thus, the two made a variant of Troop Style which included aspects of the Hoshina Style within it, keeping it a secret between them. This was done to avoid No. 9 potentially learning of their secret by absorbing another soldier or officer, meaning even Mina wasn’t told of the form.

In the present, Kafka prepared an attack which No. 9 confidently said he knew. However, the issue ended with Kafka using the Hoshina Style variant of Troop Style and landing a major hit.

While Kafka has seemingly regained the advantage, Kaiju No. 8 chapter 107 is unfortunately likely to reveal that more will be needed to defeat No. 9. At the very least, though, it suggests that their fight isn’t ending anytime soon, and likewise shouldn’t be rushed to any degree.

Chapter 107 will also likely check in with Mina briefly, seeing her rouse herself following Kafka rescuing her. She may even try and get involved in the battle before Kafka tells her to stay put, likely saying he has this.

However, this could be the sequence of events which enrages No. 9 to the point of regaining the advantage in their fight.
