Kafka's hilarious misadventures continue when his friends are attacked by the mysterious No. 9 and he is forced to transform yet again. This episode was very good at balancing the fast-paced action with this building sense of uneasiness and dread, especially for Kafka, now that his secret is so dangerously close to be exposed.

nice to see Reno and Iharu fight and get along. Kaiju number 9 sure is op. Hoshina is so op too he even has a limiter 92% unleashed combat power is really a lot. lets see how this cliffhanger will end up in the next episode. Even though its a very typical good guy corners the main character troupe.Kaiju number 9 is talking like a robot which i find funny

Best episode so far, I'm loving it (no mcdonalds)

It would be even better if Kafka's manchild antics lessens a bit. Not drops entirely but just a once in a while thing

noooo, all it takes is two guys to ruin everything, huh? (jk, I'm not really blamed them)

but man.. I really thought Iharu was going to betray Reno at that moment, I'm so happy to see him turn out to be a guy who cares about his friend. I just hope that Shinomiya gets in time and explains.. although I'm really excited to see Hoshino fight

While I am enjoying the show, this episode felt like I just rewatched the same episode from a few episodes ago but with some characters swapped with Kafka coming to save the day. At least next episode's looking like we might get some new action.

A lot happened but the fight was kind of lacking

Especially Kafka vs No.9 was super underwhelming with like no impact sounds and real weight. Seemed so weak idk

Reno and Iharu vs Kaiju 9 was decent, almost accurate to manga. Kafka's entry was magnificent. If I hadn't read the manga surely would've gotten goosebumps.

Time for Hoshina vs Kafka less goo

Great episode. I still found this episode hilarious, "Ah, I'm in danger". Lmao. People complaining about the "over abundance of stupid comedy" are sooo weird to me. Kafka is just a little goofy at times and it's 1000% better than that unintentionally hilarious edgy stoic "chad" from Solo Leveling for example. This kind of concepts needs juuust enough self awareness to balance out the absurd premise, but not so much that everything becomes a joke. And in my opinion it has always had this balance *shrug*

I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this episode.
It was enjoyable to say the least and the action was great, but it was so predictable and all the things that were so predictable were extremely frustrating to watch as they unfolded. And I'm not talking about Kafka saving the day (which was obvious as well ofc), but everything afterwards ._.

The second Kafka had the upper hand over Kaijuu No. 9, I instantly knew that he would get interrupted by some good guys before finishing him off. And ofc he managed to escape the randos, but for some stupid reason doesn't transform back to his human form immediately after getting away, so that an actual threat (who's actually his ally) can catch up to him and attack him. That's just increadibly weak writing imo. If they so desperatly wanted to keep Kaijuu No. 9 alive, they should've let Kafka overpower him without nearly killing him... and they also shouldn't have given Kafka time to transform back, if they wanted to force the fight between him and Hoshina. The way things played out make Kafka look really dumb tbh. Misunderstandings can be done well, but this really wasn't it ^^'

Oh well, let's see how things will go from here.

^ I also think so far this series is pretty generic and nothing too crazy, but that misunderstanding and interrupiton (while cliche expected), made logical sense at least. They were looking out for a humanoid Kaiju, and that interruption gave the other Kaiju enough time to heal. Not exactly unbelievable development just seen it a thousand times in other media. And yeah he probably should have depowered asap, but to be fair he thought he jumped way out into the clear, I don't believe that much time passed from when he landed on the ground and when he was spotted but I could be wrong.

Heck yeah 🔥🔥 Kafka he beat that Kaiju 9 so badly & it's so satisfying.

92% is impressive hence why he's a vice captain, in the same squad 3 as captain Mina who has a 100% released force. Though what's really crazy is how Kafka has the lowest recorded released force among the Defense Force as a Human 1%. Despite Kafka's kaiju form having a fortitude level of 9.8, the highest fortitude level seen so far in the entire series. Making him one of the most powerful kaiju to ever exist...

Yup, these Humanoid-Kaijus (I call them Kaijurians, lol) are WAY too strong for regular soldiers to handle.

The only ones that can take them on is probably those with 90%+ power level. (or Kaujuman, aka Kafka no.8, LOL)

.

Also, speaking of power level, these are brought forth by the "suits", which is interesting, cause these "suits" are technically made of mostly Kaiju materials (as they previously said).

So it means they technically can't defeat the Kaijus without using Kauju powers to began with. Even Mina would probably be easily defeated without the Suits.

.

Hmm...

So some other defense force ppls discovered Kaijuman... and gave the evil Kaijurian a chance to heal up and escape.

Feels like the evil Kaijurian might return even stronger later... cause that's what most "villians" do in Shounan series, LOL.

And now Kafka has to "fight" the vice-capt...

And this time... There's no Ichikawa to come and fix the misunderstanding...

(also, judging by Kaijuman's show of strength just earlier... Kafka could probably easily wipe the floor against vice-capt... but he's the "good Kaiju" so I guess he's going to just find some way to escape or something, LOL)

Kafka defeats the humanoid Kaiju, but it escapes due to the kaiju force officers arriving, but when Kafka tries to escape, he is stopped by Hoshina. The battle is about to begin between them.
