In the final chapter, Kikoru reached her limit during the battle against the Daikaiju. With the power of the numbered weapon and the determination to avenge Isao Shinomiya, the girl was a key piece in Kafka executing the final blow of the fight. It is undeniable that Kikoru was one of the members of the Defense Force who evolved the most during the narrative. From the beginning of the work, the character demonstrates aptitude for the battlefield. However, it was in chapter 124, with the revelation of her compatibility with four numbered weapons, that she surprised everyone with her abilities.
Kafka's strength and the possible destruction of the Daikaiju's core
The meaning of the fight against the mega kaiju goes beyond victory. Kafka is fighting for Kikoru, who wants to avenge her father, for Mina, to fulfill her promise from years ago, for Ichikawa, to protect him, for all those who suffered at the hands of the daikaiju in the past, and also for himself, who has dreamed since childhood of being part of the Defense Force.
Kafka's powerful punch, amplified by the resentment of those killed by the Meireki Era mega-kaiju, was crucial in destroying the daikaiju's core once and for all. Beyond the fight, the moment brings the protagonist into harmony with his younger self. Hibino reflects that, despite not living the future he imagined, winning this battle is a great achievement.
The chapter features little dialogue, but it makes up for it with detailed images of every moment of the fight. Furthermore, there's the anticipation and concern of everyone watching the battle against the mega kaiju, demonstrating that this moment is crucial for the country's future.
The final image suggests that the daikaiju has been defeated. The work is in its final stretch, with only two chapters left to be published. Therefore, it is likely that the manga will reserve the end of the narrative to explain the future of the characters, especially Kafka, who, after giving up his own heart to obtain a new core, will no longer be able to return to human form.
