HIBINOIRL

Hiya! this is my fanart account where I post updates and sketches of mostly kaiju no.8! You might know me on Tiktok as HIBINOIRL! COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN! #NO.1 (no.8) KAFMINA FAN!!!!

[icyinpower07]

Okay okay who's ready

So I believe that during chapter 13 of kaiju no.8 the game, the entire build up of the chapter was Kafka overworking himself and his body in the dimensional gates right?

I think I know why 🤣🤣

So like the entire time he's saying things like "I have to do this." "I can't stop now" While he is VISIBLY hurting himself with the transition energy.

However, while this is happening, he is still keeping that positive go lucky attitude to his batch mates and friends to keep them motivated. This is where the lines "Now you're here I feel much more energetic!" From a lot of the other officers he talks to makes sense! He's trying to keep everyone motivated and on task in order to kill the vanguards.

I believe that the majority of Kafka's mindset being; he has to push himself to the brink. Is rooted in the fact he always pulls other down.

In every single chapter, he has been told to hold back and not transform unless told to do so. And letting the others protect him. This is where his insecurities lie! He can't let others do things for him because he feels like dead weight. He already knows the extent of his kaiju and how he had to prove himself. But he's still trying to show he can be helpful. This inevitably leads to his downfall and submitting to Kaiju A's will.

I also theorise this was apart of Kaiju A's plan all along! Banking on the fact Kafka would step in some way or another after witnessing his resistance to his power in Dubai. I'm not quite sure what Kaiju A was trying to do in Dubai. But it's DEFINITELY related to why he needs/takes him during chapter 13.

OKAY I'm done! Please feel free to share your opinion on the comments!

Ok so I think that next chapter will be a fight against Kafka turned Berserker mode. This or others will need to figure out how to pull him out of the other dimension.

I don't think Kafka was the target from the very start but he was definitely noticed and Dimensional Kaiju A (or DKA) included him in its plan to take over the next world. Probably bc the other kaiju (1, 2, 6 and the plant one) were before Kafka became 8 and we haven't seen 9 as a dimensional kaiju so DKA might not know of his existence until then. OR wasn't sure if he was there until the defeat of dimensional number 6.

I have a lil theory that DKA is actually a version of Meireki Kaiju that either absorbed either a kaiju with ability to travel dimensions or a combination of different absorbed kaiju might have resulted in this ability.

It might be interested in gaining more transitional energy and establishing new, permanent portals to new worlds is the key to it. Opening those 7 giant portals could have been a ploy to weaken the enemy since it seems to know of CLOZER (just being aware someone/something is resisting). I wouldn't be surprised it kinda figures that those pesky humans always try to push back and tiring them as much as possible is The Way.

Either way this definitely is leading to interesting possibility for chapter 14 and maybe even 15.

Sidebar I like your thoughts on Kafka.

[icyinpower07]

I'm so GLAD you agree with me aswell!! I would love a fight with Kafka and his friends oh my gosh !! Im excited because only Kikoru (And narumi sprt of) has seen his kaiju when he's berserk! And I want to see her the others think of it/ how they deal with him.

Do they hurt him?

I have a good prediction that Reno will help Kafka (+new variant) because Reno was going mad after he felt he wasn't doing enough and overworking himself! It's like Reno's gonna do the same thing Ihauru did for him!! I would LOVEEE THAT!

Anyway Kaiju A better get explained BC so far he's a Big Anomaly to me...

Please comment ur opinions!!!!

[gender-evil-rose]

Mirroring does seem to be a thing in this story lol. Reno absolutely will go full mom mode, ngl and Kikoru will be there too, with Hoshina and the others to smack sense into him.

I hope this gonna turn into all of his friends standing into big ass circle around him like an intervention with Mina up front to reach him. It could be this HUGE Kafmina moment, where she calls to him and he snaps out of the spell~.

I enjoy my clichés lolol.

But back to Earth. They will have to fight him. Like... Isao could barely keep up with 8 in Berserk mode. Hell, he would have absolutely lost to it if Kafka hasn't snapped out at the last moment. But they will have to VERY CAREFULL not to damage his core. I know Suited will be there to provide medical help when he falls so they don't have to hold back too much. Just not to damage the core too badly until Mina talks sense to him.

[icyinpower07]

This thread is so long now but HOW I WOULD CRY FOR KAFMINA STUFF OMGOMG!!!

but besides Reno, who do you think will get a Variant? I think Kafka will become a boss instead of getting a Variant but I want both tbh 😭😭

I just love this topic so much 💔💔💔

We need a cliche ending!!

[gender-evil-rose]

Lol don't worry tumblr exists for reblogs plus there is an option to hide the long ass posts on dashboard.

Having a raid battle against Berserk Number 8 would be rad as hell ngl xD

Let me think. We just got a Summer Variants aka. The Fanservice Update, where we got Kikoru and Mina. There was SUITED included in the story so I am surprised she isn't the next unit. Id hope after Reno maybe we will get our first Iharu 5 star since we just completed the rookie set on 4 stars with Hakua. Akari has 2 5 star units, we also got Haruichi and Aoi 5 stars. So all we are missing is Iharu who has been no doubt getting stronger out of screen.

If they plan on more 4 stars though I hope we could get 4 stat poison Ogata or Toko.

Unfortunately the fan favourites (gag) are Hoshina and Narumi and they just got CLOZER Variants. Hoshina slightly outnumbered Narumi so before Iharu another Narumi might drop? But I really hope not.

So my logic says Iharu. But I can be wrong.

DISCLAIMER: I enjoy the character of Hoshina and Narumi in general but the game is so oversaturated with their units I wish we had more variety. So don't come for me.

[icyinpower07]

NO NO I agree! The two of them are the fan favourites and get a lot of glory considering they aren't massively explored characters. I really hope Iharu gets a Variant! He's my favourite rookies besides Kafka 🥹🥹

I really hope that it's just super long all things considered. Like yes we need 20+ episodes not including fights/battles!!

The three goats (Kafka,Reno, and Iharu!) hopefully all together in 2 weeks time 🥹

Tis new Chapter 13 of the game has made me really want to make an analysis about Kafka's mentality/development through this chapter and why he did what he DOES!!! I would like more people to talk ABT it overall and I have fanart on the way...but I NEED ana analysis. SHOUKD I DO IT???????

His spiral leading him into Kaiju A's trap and forcing his transformation OMGGGGGG

and future predictions about the next chapter with Kafka+everyone

Reno+new variant hint

SHOUKD I DO ITTTTTT

[gender-evil-rose]

I have gotten into watching a lot of Kyota Ko shorts on YouTube about the culture and history of Japan and he has some hilarious pearls about Edo period.

I just imagine after Kafka awakens the full power of the samurai and they decide (or were forced by Isao LMAO) to stay with Kafka he gets like a whole audience giving him the most outdated advice xD.

Like in Edo period there was a huge difference between the amount of women and men. There were far less women and if a man got divorced there was a high chance he would never find a woman to marry him again. (I imagine with the amount of men in the army we saw they had to be not just noble houses but also lower class men). So if Kafka got with Mina for example (or any female character) and they had a row Kafka would get a chorus of voices on how he should apologise and beg forgiveness bc no way someone gonna marry him again. In this economy?!

Another thing was that payment usually was on "trust me bro" rule and twice a year debt collectors would be hired and go to collect those "trust me bro" payments. Thus I think such situations in Kafka's mind would be pretty common occurrences:

Samurai: you should get her a really expensive gift!!

Kafka: i can't afford that!

Samurai: it's okay! When a debt collectors come just pretend you are dead! I did that twice!

Samurai 2: I once spent entire night on the rooftop of my house until the daybreak. Those suckers never found me.

Kafka: ??????

Some unfinished art of Sagan's new variant in kaiju no.8 the game! I haven't finished the event yet but I felt she would be very commanding even if she struggles working with others in a team.

I can have a whole squad of Kafkas now, I love this game

[gelstertherealgel]

does anyone like Meikaf

[nextnemesis]

Kafka’s hair makes me wanna shave him bald

Seriously it should NOT be so difficult to draw that bro, it looks like a durian but it’s only purpose is to torture me specifically. If he looks a bit chopped it’s because I haven’t properly found a way to stylize his fuck ass hair, thankfully when it’s longer it’s easier to draw but still.

I still gotta find a way to keep his silhouette without losing any fat since the style I’m trying to copy doesn’t have a lot of variety for fatter characters. Not everybody is a walking skeleton I want more diversity so that I don’t gotta spend 3 hours trying and failing to draw something. I don’t think the combat uniforms get enough appreciation so here we are

[deathflare]

drew fanart of kaiju no8. i like kafka a lot
