This continues into the final segment, where Shinomiya and Kefka need to prove themselves against the machinations of the savage Kaiju No.9, who remains an excellent foil for our leads.

Kaiju No. 8, Vol. 5 by Naoya Matsumoto | Goodreads

Kafka shows up last volume just in time to save his friends. But this fight he's about to endure isn't the big tough one we expected. In fact, Kafka seems to have the upperhand against Kaiju no. 9. But it is when Soshiro shows up that Kafka might have some trouble. Thankfully things turned out okay in the beginning because if a certain someone would have been worse off then at the end of volume two, I would have been blowing up this review with how upset I would have been!
