Here is a quick synopsis of the story for all beginners. Strange and deadly monsters have been terrorizing Japan for the past few years. With the citizen’s safety compromised, the military had to take some serious steps to eliminate the monsters from Japan. So they came together and formed the Defence Force, which consists of skilled and trained warriors with state-of-the-art weapons to destroy the monsters once and for all.
The story revolves around a 32-year-old man named Kafka Hibino whose biggest dream was to be a part of the Defence Force and risk his life for the safety of the country and to engage in fighting the Kaiju. But, unfortunately, he never made it and instead ended up being a part of Monster Sweeper Inc. This organization sweeps up the dead remains of the monsters and disposes of them.
Though Kafka is a sweeper now, he still holds the dream of becoming a soldier of the Defence Force close to his heart. This is why an ambitious recruit named Leno Ichikawa was able to make Kafka brush off the dust from his old dream and start striving toward it again. One day, something happened that presented Kafka with an opportunity to join the Defence Force.
An unidentified monster accidentally enters Kafka’s body, turning him into a part monster, part human type of being. His newly found superpowers make him aim for a place in the Defence Force one last time.
Monster #8 Chapter 77 recap
Chapter 76 stops at a situation where the main Kaiju was killed, but five new monsters appear at different locations throughout the city. Chapter 77 starts with the identification of the monsters as Eminent- Class monsters. They are Kaiju #11, #12, #13, #14, and #15. Back at headquarters, there is utter disbelief at the appearance of these five Eminent- class monsters as they are too big of a challenge for the force’s capabilities.
Troops arrive behind Kikoru who is facing a Kaiju alone, but she yells at them to retreat. The kaiju attacked them with a distance attack, and they blasted away. Headquarters calls in to affirm that the vitals of six troop members have been lost. The soldiers on the battlefield are shocked to hear this news, and they are now in a dire predicament. The monster Kikoru is facing tells her that such an attack would be easy for her to dodge,
Suddenly the soldiers realized that these monsters weren’t after strategic locations but instead, they were trying to scatter the forces and take them down one by one. The personnel at the headquarters analyze the situation carefully. Since the monsters are eminent-class, they cannot be taken down individually, and also, there are not enough troops to send them back up. The soldiers on the battlefield realize this, and Kikoru understands that she must fight the monster all alone.
Kikoru reminisces that in the past, especially during life-or-death situations, others have always come to her aid. She has never taken a powerful Kaiju down. it has always been someone else. But she states that taking the monster down herself was her plan from the start. She then goes into full release mode and releases 84% of her force. As she does that, the rest of the soldiers, all facing different monsters, get ready and lock their targets one by one.
