I would not be surprised if Kikoru placed 5th on purpose - remember the reason she wanted Kafka's parking spot is that 5 was her lucky number for that day.
The funny thing is that the anime added the 0.01%, he was still just 0% in the manga. I think it's a better sting for the episode though. Given all the context clues so far, Kafka just seemed to have failed to enter the Defense Force year after year failing the second phase of the test and became part of the Disposal unit while retaking it. Meanwhile Mina got in immediately and rose up the ranks quickly until becoming the youngest Captain in the force. Either Kafka finally aged out and couldn't apply anymore or he just stopped applying after so many years. Kikoru placed 5th in the fitness exam. She graduated at 16 but also isn't old enough to drink in Japan so her age has to be in the 16-19 range. Makes sense why she would call Kafka old since he could be twice her age.
The battle suits are designed to interact/phase with HUMAN TISSUE... Kafka is actual a Kaiju Hybrid, so the suit doesn't recognize his DNA for the most part!
Kafka was smart not to do any partial transformation. They are getting vital readings for the suits, so there is a reason to believe they could detect and anomaly if he did any partial transformations which would get him some unwanted extra attention.
17:50 JSDF is Japan Self Defense Force and Aoi is specifically from the ground force (JGSDF). They are the military forces of Japan and the equivalence for Americans would be the United States Army (USA). Our other military branches are the United States Navy (USN), United States Air Force (USAF), United States Marine Corps (USMC), United States Coast Guard (USCG), United States Space Force (USSF). I'm anime only for Kaiju No.8, but I assume in that universe the Kaiju units are a military force specifically for the neutralization, research, and disposal of Kaiju and their smaller monster variants. The JSDF is your standard nation military that will sometimes assist with Kaiju operations.
You ladies just got introduced to Soshiro Hoshina, who is mine and so many other fans' favorite character. I so seriously look forward to ladies to see why. And when you do, I think he will be your favorite character as well 😊🤗
It's most likely not the Kaiju that's making him get 0%. Kafka failed the test every single time he took it, and his theory and physical marks are good enough to pass, so he's probably just not compatible with he suit at all. Although, that could be the reason why the mosquito kaiju sought him out specifically.
8:57 doesnt most media nowadays have badass female characters? Maybe when we were kids it wasn’t common but definitely since the 2010’s it’s been super common to have bad ass women be common in all media (and it’s always been common in anime) not criticizing I’m just saying I think we have made a lot of progress people don’t seem to realize.
And regressed heavily in how they're written 90% of the time. I'd rather have fewer badass women who are written well than be drowned in Mary Sue "i'M sTRoNG bECauSe I'M A FEmAle aND AM doUBTeD bY MeN" characters. Thankfully, the east *usually* does a better job of making sure to make their drive and abilities believable to the setting. Like how here having more aptitude more than makes up for stature. And how Kikoru didn't dominate everyone in the normal physical exam, like the jacked ex-military guy who turned down being special forces to be here.
I really wish he'd do this for himself tho. To stand beside her ain't bad but she might respect him more and he might even improve at this if he had a stronger sense of self.
I rather think of Mina has quite, introverted and serene more so than cold. I think she tries to maintain a professional, no-BS type of attitude. I love Kikoru she is a cocky little brat, who even more annoying cause she can back up a good portion of the trash talk she does. And I love her for that.
I finished episode 12 last night. I loved the series and didn't want it to end. I'm looking forward to your reactions! The some parts of the Vice Captain reminded me of Levi, maybe its because both are short & very talented with blades.
I mean, transforming won't help anything cause if all the officer see him transform they'll go hunting him for sure and that's mean he not gonna be able to become the officer anymore. It's not like they gonna say something like "oh, your kaiju form is incredible and cool, you pass Kafka🎉". Sure they'll fight him cause they consider kaiju as an enemy anyway.
I also wanted Kafka to transform like Morgan haha but yeah it makes sense he wants to pass it himself 😤. Agree about Mina acting cold for like no reason - only character I don't like so far in the show (since Kafka only gave up because he was too old to qualify)
That’s unfortunate you feel that way about Mina, she’s my second favorite character and I love her. Maybe your opinion will change the more you see of her.
All episodes (1-12) are available right now on our Patreon!

Didn't pick up on that, good call.

13:30 Yeah, not 1%, but 1% of 1%. I nust realized that during this reaction. Wowzers.

When is MHA season 7 ep 12 reaction coming?
I love how they make it easy for him to hide his Kaiju form with a full body suit and he keeps insisting to not use it because it wouldn't be fair
he just sucks, thats why he cant get in. its not his kaiju form
