In Episode 11 of "Kaiju No. 8," Kafka's fate is intensely debated by the Defense Force, with his unique Kaiju DNA potential taking center stage. Director General Isao demands Kafka's transfer to his Third Division. Trapped behind glass, Kafka reflects on the grim possibility of being used as a weapon. During his transfer to headquarters, supported by Mina and Hoshina, Reno expresses his confidence in Kafka's eventual return.
Mina reveals on the plane her efforts to prove Kafka's humanity, offering him comfort in his uncertain situation. Days pass at the Ariake Base as his comrades grapple with his predicament. Hoshina voices his desire for a rematch with Kafka, hinting at his unspoken feelings.
Kikoru confronts her father Isao and pleads for Kafka, but Isao presents an X-ray image confirming Kafka as a Kaiju, drawing painful parallels to Kikoru's deceased mother. Despite this, Kikoru retains her faith in Kafka.
Mina plans to distribute talented recruits to reinforce the Defense Force, a decision partly influenced by Kafka's reveal as Kaiju No. 8. Tension peaks as Isao shoots Kafka to collect his Kaiju blood, forcing him into a partial Kaiju transformation.
In the dramatic climax, Kafka fully embraces his Kaiju form to block Isao's lethal attack, while Kikoru urges him to reaffirm his humanity. This showdown sets the stage for profound revelations and Kafka's ultimate test of identity.
