Right now, it's my favorite episode, we have the beginning of Kikoru's character development, Kafka revealing his Kaiju side to Kikoru, and the introduction of Kaiju no. 9

Fortitude is a scale to measure kaijus 1 to 10 Over 6.0 is a very strong honju(main kaiju) need at least a platoon to defeat it. They were saying the revied honju was 6.4 Over 8.0 means daikaiju (means ultimate kaiju) Over 9.0 is gonna be identified kaiju(they give them numers like kaiju no8, no6, so on Yea kafka(kaiju no8) has the highest fortitude in history so far

It seems to be a similar thing to the anime ”Parasyte” with Kafka being in control instead of the creature that tried to take over his body

the 9.8 thingy is just the magnitude of the kaiju to determine whether they're a daikaiju or identified kaiju(kaijus with numbers on their name)

Kaiju no 8 just keeps getting better🔥🔥🔥

for every single increase. the power is increased by a factor of 10 it's just like magnitude on the richter scale. with 10 being the highest

I just can't believe that Neel uploaded a reaction faster than any other reaction channel's

Think of the danger numbers like earthquakes. For a 2-3 on the Richter Scale, people can barely feel it. A 5 is considered light with some property damage at the epicenter. A 7 is considered a strong earthquake with $Bs in property damage and loss of life. A 9.0 is a once in 300 year quake with catastrophic building damage and mass loss of life. A 10.0 is a once in 1,000 year quake that has never been measured since the invention of seismology.

Think of Kaiju scaling on the lines of a earthquake Richter Scale and you'll be better able to figure out the magnitude of how strong each Kaiju is. They are quite literally walking natural disaster so Kafka being 9.8 in scaling means he is a problem on feet. The fact that he isn't the only Kaiju of his kind as we've just witness means there could be more on his level or higher than his level that may have better use of their abilities and capable of military tactics that could lead to bigger incidents. If that's the case Kafka is probably the one major ace the defense force is going to need for upcoming Kaiju incidents. This is just me speculating though but that's pretty much what I understand so far with the few episodes out. I never looked into the manga since I barely have time for anime as it is.

You probably saw this in this episode, but to answer your question at 1:38 He can transform partially, but not under the suit. Since the suit ,,fuses" with your body as they mentioned in the previous ep the Kaiju powers treat the suit as a layer of outer skin, which means that there is not ,,under" the suit, there is only ,,transform" since it isn't considered a clothing, but a part of it's wearer's body. Hope this answers your question :D (I might not be a 100% right here, but I think this is a satisfying answer. If I get further in the manga I'll change my comment on this.) Also you asked if 10 is the highest fortitude. Well, technically it's not the highest. That measuring system is based on the strongest Kaiju that humanity ever faced thus far as the base. Meaning that it can go above 10 but it's highly unlikely. And no, Kafka is a human that can turn into a Kaiju, Mr.Mushroom head is a Kaiju that can turn into a human. Not the same thing :D as far as im aware

I don't think it was ever explained in the manga, but the way I understood this number system is sort of similar to earthquake intensity levels - magnitude. Each number is exponentially higher than the last. Like, the difference between 1 and 2 could be 100×, 2 and 3 could be 200×. It's a good way to keep the numbers with fewer digits. I stopped reading the manga when they announced that they're gonna make an anime, to keep the story fresh in my head. 😂

No 9 in kaiju form goes crazy even when bro said "Zero ? Zero?"

I find it funny that the optimal way of saying someone isn't human is by showing s/he can't use a phone XD

1:43 what people don’t understand or misunderstand about Kafka is that his power works like Denji from Chainsaw Man. Like when he transforms, all his injuries are healed and shit like that… but let me assure you, that’s not the case. Kafka and his Kaiju #8 are two different entities in one body. When Kafka isn’t transformed, he is a normal human being just like Ichikawa, Kikoru or Hoshina. When he transforms, he goes full on Kaiju but retains his consciousness. When he transforms back, all the perks that came with becoming a Kaiju disappear as if they were never there. So, no, Kafka can’t heal from partial transformation; in fact, he can’t heal his real body at all. If he were to die in his real body, he’d be dead (or so I think based on what I’ve read in the Manga so far). The only time he can tank damage or deal damage or heal, is when he’s in Kaiju form. Some proof of that is provided at the end of this episode, when we see Kafka in a hospital bed. Meaning his injuries were not healed despite transforming. Another proof is provided in the next episode (which has already come out when I’m commenting this, so, it’s not a spoiler); Hoshina states that when Kaiju #8 appeared, Kafka’s vitals stopped coming in, which suggests that Kafka’s own existence straight up disappears when he’s in Kaiju form. There’s still some skepticism surrounding this discussion but this is the best explanation that I came up with. Lemme know what y’all think

He's not healing himself for both things you mentioned. He don't wanna get caught or have an unfair disadvantage.

You are going to like her father in the end... He knows the world is hard, he is ensuring that she is harder.

9.8 is out of 10 and 10 would be the max and even in manga there is nothing bigger than the fortitude of kaiju no.8 aka kafka hibino .

She got slapped like Megami😂

Another mystery is about "special' Kaiju's" ability to heal the regular ones. Because Kafka said "Let's see how you heal this" and it really started to heal! But then Kafka said he's joking and the regen immediately stopped. Could it be, that Kaiju with numbers have total control over regular and ultimate ones?

ngl, for thought, that kaiju transformation of kafka when he saved kikuru was kinda like the new generation style Ben 10 transformation. lol

What an episode i must say the mystery kaiju was nice surprise got me looking forward to this anime.

A Vice Cpt is what is called an XO or Executive Officer. They are up for second in command in a military command😊

This show is kinda reminding me of AOT. But in a good way

Bro really said “Arise.”

The higher the fortitude is the stronger and tougher the kaiju is

to answer your question about transforming, can't say for sure if he'd be able without ripping the suit and revealing himself lol that might be why he's not doing even partway. Plus, there's so many eyes watching everywhere, so it'd be risky.

Kafka is kinda like an uncle to her

not sure about the power scaling but it feels kinda like Richter scale for earthquakes, in that system each whole number is 10 times stronger than the number before, so a 6 on the scale is 10 times a 5.

The ost is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I like the design of kaiju no. 9 bro can't wait to see him in action against kafka 🎉

Yes, at this time Kafka unknowingly has become Kikoru's surrogate dad.

they use the point system like with earthquakes, smaller weaker

Apparently there's a theory that Kafka actually commanded that kaiju to come back. That's why it tried, later he said don't come back and it stopped. If this is true this is some founding titan shit🔥🔥

the fortitude is kinda like earthquake, where there isn't a set level cap but they just kept it at a low number. the rating of the series also really just depend on how the author felt like it, take dragon ball as example, there's 2 different power rating system, Power Level is the one employed by frieza army, which is large numbers, namek arc Goku has 150M in that system, but babidi has a different rating system called Kili, where goku is rated as 3000 despite growing hundreds to thousands of times stronger than he was back in namek

I don't know if you noticed but Kikoru VA is also Power from Chainsaw man and Delta from Eminence

Watch ppl switching shoes on Kikoru when she becomes the best written character of the show later

The measuring systeme works kinda in like logarithms, the difference between lvl 4 and 5 is greater than the difference between 3 and 4. Resilience (or fortitude) 8.0 or above are considerer Mega Kaijus (Monsters), and the strongest kaijus in history (at least japan history I think, it hasn't been confirmed in the manga) are given code names: there's #1,#2,#3... up to #7, and kafka is #8. The one that showed up and shot kikoru is #9. Spoilers about #9 below: #9 is not a human who can turn into a kaiju like kafka, is a virus/parasite type monster than can mute, absord and fuse with other living creatures (By doing so he learns and acquires their abilities and strengh)

Idk if it’s just me but at 11:40 i swear he doing the luffy gear 2 pose

Think of it like earthquakes and other natural disasters, magnitude can go over 10

it seems like kafka and that other thing are similar but not the same, i would say in kafkas case hes human whos gained ability to turn kaiju while maintaining his sanity while the other thing that sitted in toilet is kaiju that can turn human from what i can see

Nr.9 is just OP

It kinda looks like the new one is a reverse Kafka, a kaiju trynna look human (i might be wrong tho)

Don't want to spoil but trust me when i'm said Director Isao is fucking goated

As a manga reader "kikoru is best girl & one of the best written chara in kaiju 8". I very respect her until the latest chapter.

Hes a good dad keep watching

kinda hope he is a one punch kind of guy. you can have it end in one punch and still have a good fight.

btw that mysterious white talking kaiju is the main villlan btw

My best guess is that either the Kaiju failed at controlling Kafka, or he's just stronger mentally and thus didn't succumb to the will of the Kaiju, at first I hated blondy but then I realised, she's not a bad person, she just has too much on her shoulders and built that personality to protect her inner child, I'm already seeing it, this anime is going to have some strong suport cast.

Kikoru is good girl. Cocky, but she needs very little time to get likable. And yeah, she has feeling of pressure and responsibility, deep personal one. But so true, people jumped on hate train so fast XD

Spoiler: Kaiju no 9(the monster at the end of episode 4) is the main villain in this manga for now as far,The new manga chapter features kafka(kaiju mode) vs kaiju no 9

Those kinds of parents are pretty common in Asia

The fortitude scale ramlnges from 1--10

based on this episode it doesn't look like he can transform inside himself. It seems more like a shell so using it for regen may not be possible, unless the damage is received in the kaiju form "He could body the one we saw earlier" if you're referring to the humanoid one, not necessarily since that one may not have been recorded (my theory). This is a complete guess but the scale of the Kaiju may be logarithmic, like Earthquakes, so "which means that each one-point increase on the scale represents a 10-fold increase in the magnitude of the quake"

They refer Kaiju power to earthquake scale

Slight spoiler: The creature at the end of the episode is the main antagonist and it has the power to transform into a human.

The power scaling is like an earthquake scale in that its exponential. A 9.8 is absolutely absurd, at dozens of times more powerful than even an 8. Anything under 7 pretty much doesn't exist to him. It's not that 10 is the highest number; it's that the power level starts to peak out and it gets exponentially harder to reach a higher number (ie. the difference between a 1 and an 8 is smaller than the distance between a 10 and an 11).

You can perceive 9.8 with earthquake scale which goes from 1-10, 1 weak and 10 being strongest in history

How can he be a loser as a parent? Without him, she would have been nothing but a brat without any confidence whatsoever. Hate disrespecting strict parents like that. Everything she achieved, she did because he pushed and supported her. Loser parents make loser childs. Soft ass parents who raise rich brats without pushing them or setting some boundaries set them up for a hedonistic life full of drugs and what not.

THE GOAT ISAO MF SHINOMIYA IS FINALLY HERE. LESHGOOOO💯 also no kafka is the only one of his kind(a human kaiju hybrid) whereas new kaiju is a REAL kaiju, just with the ability to morph his body(you can see the difference in the way they transform)

answer to your first question about why he doesnt partially transform in the suit. my guess would be that for starters he didn;'t do it out of principle + his promise to ichikawa. there is no way for him to know they are actually monitoring everything through the suits. muscles, blood-flow, bones, bone density etc. he probly learned about it the moment they started telling him how much dmg he received. well its an estimated guess so take what i just said with a grain of salt

About Kikoru's father, i felt he's like this kind of emotions just like how you saw Denken (Frieren: Beyond's Journey End) was. Actually, just give it a try to him, i mean, i got two clue for ya. Where is Kikoru's mother and is she joining Defence Corps too?

LET'S GOO ONE PUNCH KAIJU 🔥🔥

I'm wondering if shinomiya could've put up a fight if she wasn't caught off guard by Mr mushroom tophat kaiju

The dude who is also a kaiju seems like not a human anymore and the kaiju took control over him and not human anymore because he was talking about why these humans like this, kafka on the other hand is in control for sure so excited about what to happen next, also did anyone noticed the kaiju who died even listen to kafka when he said can u be alive again and when he said plss don’t than it again stopped, clearly other little kaijus listen to kafka and also that other dude or kaiju itself take control over a human

The heck is Ichimaru Gin doing in this show? Edit. Also noticed Denki Kaminari from Boruto What is going on here?

16:25 yup. Giving me Parasyte the maxim vibes

kaiju number 8 because hes fortitude 9.8 , so there is 7 other fort 9 Kaijus

No 9.8 is just number, I'm not sure if there is above 10, but it's just their energy power.

This show is so goooood bro

Yeah it was the best episode till now

I like this episode because the anime version got more impact than in the manga

There must be a reason why his dad acts like that, especially when he mentioned about “Your dead mother”

Kikoru has daddy issues. She doesn't deserve the hate, it's not her fault. We call this character development !!!😤🤌

Kafka is the Saitama (one punch man) of kaiju 😆😆

Her father's behaviour is the "stereotype asian parent" behabiour which says < It doesn't matter how good you are, don't expect to get my praise and just do better next time > Though from what I heard, it got better than it was like 10-20 years ago?

I need your beard brother

What vibes am I getting? Kafka: The Attack Titan Light skin: Beast Titan?

I just finished watching 😮

One punch kaiju 😂

My hero academia parasite version 😂

why is the video on 1% volume ?

Yes!

To answer your question. SPOILER ALERT There's no kaijuu surpasses kaiju no 8's fortitude, even in the latest chapter in manga. So Vice capt hoshina is right, that kaijuu is the the strongest kaijuu in history

Ok 17:14

"She has good heart, she is not bitch" yes sure man thats why she for no reason damaged his car, which is a crime BTW. Yeeee, not a bitch. How easily you can forgot bad things =/ and also she is talking to Kafka every time with intent to humiliate him. Sure, if its not a bitch - good to know.

Talking shit again after she see kafka power wkwkwkwkw😂😂😂😂😂😂

Day 3 of asking for a reaction to "when you take anime too far"

It seems really sus to me that the girl screams and suddenly the big @$$ kaiju suddenly grows back it’s super powerful horns. And the way she could heal herself, just saying.

First'

Ur reaction is not at all good… there is no feel from ur reaction

Bruh stop glazing this girl. I didnt mind her at first but now you're making it worse.

First 🥇

no. he cant do it. the suit is monitored. thats how they know he has internal bleeding and a broken leg. if he suddenly turns into a kaiju inside the suit, theyll see it on the read outs.
