Kaiju No. 8 Creator Celebrates Episode 11 With Special Artwork

Kaiju No. 8’s creator went all out for Episode 11 of the anime!

Kaiju No. 8 has reached the final episodes of its run for the debut season, and the creator behind it all shared some special new art for the penultimate episode, Episode 11! Kaiju No. 8′s anime has officially kicked off the final arc of its first season as Kafka Hibino’s Kaiju No. 8 secret has been officially revealed to the rest of the Kaiju Defense Force. Though he had been fighting alongside the rest of the Third Company, he also had been hiding this secret as a way to eventually reach his dream of fighting alongside his childhood friend’s side. 

Kaiju No. 8 is now closer than ever to the end of its first season, and Kafka’s fate is currently in flux as by the end of Episode 11 he’s now more Kaiju than human. But with so much left from Naoya Matsumoto‘s original manga to cover and so little of the anime to go, it’s yet to be revealed how big of a potential future there still is for Kafka in the years to come. To celebrate the release of Episode 11 of the anime, original Kaiju No. 8 series creator Naoya Matsumoto shared some special new Kafka art with fans that you can check out below.
