In the final chapter, Kikoru reached her limit during the battle against the daikaiju. With the power of her numbered weapon and her determination to avenge Isao Shinomiya, the girl was instrumental in Kafka's execution of the final blow. It's undeniable that Kikoru was one of the Defense Force members who evolved the most throughout the narrative. From the beginning of the work, the character demonstrated an 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 his father; for Mina, to fulfill her promise from years ago; for Ichikawa, to protect him; for all those who have suffered at the hands of the daikaiju in the past; and also for himself, who has dreamed since childhood of joining the Defense Force.
The force of Kafka's punch, fueled 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 few lines, but makes up for it with detailed footage of every moment of the fight. Furthermore, there's the anticipation and concern of all those watching the battle against the mega kaiju, demonstrating that this is a decisive moment 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 remaining. Therefore, it's likely that the manga will reserve the end of the narrative to explain the characters' future, especially Kafka's, who, after giving up his own heart to obtain a new core, will no longer be able to return to human form.
