Monster Transformation | Kaiju No.8

Kaiju No. 8 is one of the most popular serialized manga published on Shonen Jump+ in recent years—a refreshing blend of action, comedy, and adventure. While readers initially drew connections between Kaiju No. 8 and series like Attack on Titan, Chainsaw Man, and One-Punch Man, fans soon fell in love with its unique elements, art style, and protagonist. The manga quickly became a global sensation. In the first six months, over 550,000 copies were in circulation. By March 2023, over 11 million copies were in circulation. When the Production I.G animation studio announced they were developing an anime series under the supervision of Studio khara, fans anxiously awaited to see the series adapted for the screen.

The story revolves around Kafka Hibino, a 32-year-old longing to join The Defense Force and make good on his promise to a childhood friend, Mina Ashiro. He befriends Reno Ichikawa, a new coworker, while cleaning up Kaiju remains. Reno’s determination to join The Defense Force inspires Kafka to fulfill his childhood promise to pass the entrance exam and join Mina to protect humanity. When a small Kaiju burrows itself inside Kafka, he gains superhuman strength and powers fit for fighting Kaiju. He works to earn the trust of his human teammates, defeat increasingly powerful Kaiju, and keep the world safe. Part human and part Kaiju, Kafka recognizes the creature beginning to take over more frequently, and he must fight to hold on to what makes him human.

Title guy! You missed a golden chance here!
"Don't look I'm changing" Kaiju No 8.

The transformation was quick and painless. 😂🎉

I love the change between the eldritch horror kafkas experiencing and ichikawa looking over at his foot silently twitching

If I had one coin for every modern Shonen MC who gets their powers by swallowing something, I would have 3 coins. I know it's not much, but it's rare that it's happened 3 times.

Kafka when through a metamorphosis


...heh...I get it.

"I like ya, and I want ya. Now we can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way. The choice is yaws."

He’s not the first one to gain powers by eating something very specific. It’s a common trope nowadays

[xavierrobinson]

So the kaiju entered his body and turned him into one, but his still in control.

Kafka should've tatted that "limitless" tattoo on his throat instead of that guy on Twitter

Dark Helmet: “Prepare for metamorphosis!”
Soldier: “Preparing for metamorphosis!”
Dark Helmet: “Ready, Kafka?”

It blows my mind that this show isn’t more popular

00:26 is how I expect my friends to take a pic of me when I say "take an off guard"

[VINSMOKEProductions]

Such an unusual way of getting a power-up: a Kaiju bug comes out of nowhere and enters through your mouth and tada! You're a Kaiju monster. 😂😂😂

[davekisman]

Apex & Boy: Welcome to the club, Kafka.

[levelup-zay]

Bro, there's gotta be more anime than this a human turing into a KaijuI GENIUS!!! I never even thought about that

[Evit-jqic]

I’m just curious on why that bug was looking for him? Is this perhaps fate, or someone’s sick joke?

[Wolfencreek]

A guy called Kafka turning into a monster? It's more likely than you'd think

[truegamer]

crazy how a Demonic bug gave Kai such a deep throat to transform him
