Kafka Hibino is the main protagonist Kaiju No. 8 who must live his life as a human kaiju. He himself is known to have several abilities that make him the ace of the defense forces during the battle against the Kaiju No. 1 invasion. 9.
What capabilities does Kafka have? Here’s the list!
1. Tremendous physical strength
Kafka returns the car to its original position (Doc. Production IG / Kaiju No. 8)At first, Kafka’s physical abilities were quite poor because he even had difficulty taking the defense force’s physical test.
But that’s if you count the human side. Once he uses Kaiju powers, Kafka can be far superior even to users of special uniforms. This was shown when he lightly returned the position of his car which had been thrown by Kikoru.
At full transformation, his power level managed to reach 9.8, the highest figure in history!
2. Endurance and pain tolerance

Without his uniform, Kafka was still able to stand even though Isao had shot him repeatedly. He also managed to withstand a blow from Kikoru’s father who was known to use a gauntlet weapon made from Kaiju No. 2 when fully transformed.
In fact, he didn’t feel any pain even though he was hit by a series of slashes from Soshiro.
3. Insane speed and reflexes
Kafka runs fast when the monster bomb is about to explode (Doc. Shueisha / Kaiju No. 8)In his Kaiju form, Kafka’s speed and reflexes are drastically increased.
He was shown able to avoid Soshiro’s rain of slashes without expending much energy and managed to escape from the vice captain.
Even in his human form, Kafka could run fast, making Soshiro realize that the man’s crazy speed was not due to his uniform.
4. Energy manipulation
Kafka and Honju fist bump (Doc. Production IG / Kaiju No. 8)Apart from physical strength, Kafka can also control energy to strengthen the destructive power of his attacks.
He can use it in bursts like when he neutralized Kaiju No.’s barrage of attacks. 9.
Apart from that, Kafka also often uses it as a driving machine for his fists as shown in the latest episode.
5. Changes in shape and size
dock. Production IG/ Kaiju No. 8At first, Kafka had difficulty controlling his body’s transformation. He even lost control so that his physical form turned into chaos.
However, as time went by, Kafka began to be able to transform with its own controls and use them if there was an emergency situation.
It is also known that he can use partial transformations if he wants to save energy.
However, Kafka can become a giant if he is out of control.
6. Regeneration
Kafka regenerates his cut body (Doc. Shueisha / Kaiju No. 8)Apart from having a high level of resilience, Kafka is also known to be able to regenerate.
He can recover all his wounds in an instant like the moment when he recovered all the slash wounds made by Soshiro.
However, Kafka couldn’t just do it because regeneration required a lot of stamina.
7. Ability to track Kaiju’s whereabouts
Kafka feels the presence of Kaiju (Doc. Production IG / Kaiju No. 8)As a Kaiju, Kafka has the advantage of being able to sense the presence of other Kaiju.
This was shown when he and Reno tried to find a place to hide, Kafka immediately felt the presence of Kaiju from underground.
Kafka’s sensory sense even works much more accurately because he can predict the type of monster if he has encountered the creature before.
This ability is even triggered immediately even though Kafka is not transforming if the enemy’s level is too great.
8. Knowledge about Kaiju
Kafka tells Izumo to target the Kaiju’s stomach (Doc. Production IG / Kaiju No. 8)As a cleaning worker, Kafka knows the morphology and physiology of each Kaiju very well because he often deals with the monster’s internal organs.
Therefore, he can know the Kaiju’s weak points so he can provide support to the troops so they can provide more effective attacks.
Thanks to this, a number of other troops also felt helped by the support of Kafka’s knowledge.
9. Empty hand self-defense
Kafka shows martial arts techniques (Doc. Shueisha / Kaiju No. 8)Because he was not suited to the special uniforms and weapons of the defense forces, Kafka was advised by Soshiro to study the special forces’ self-defense techniques that Isao perfected.
From there, Kafka began to learn how to channel strength from his lower body to his fists to get even crazier power output.
Thanks to that, Kafka was able to unleash even more powerful Kaiju attacks so that he was able to match Kaiju No.’s strength. 9 for now.
However, because Kaiju No. 9 has now hijacked Isao’s body, Soshiro estimates that they have to get around it with another martial technique, namely the inherited technique belonging to the Hoshina family.
That’s the list of abilities that Kafka Hibino, Kaiju No. has. 8!
