Kaiju No. 8: B-Side chapter 6 is set to release on Thursday, Mar. 21, 2024 at 12AM JST according to the MANGA Plus website. With the series diving into the origins of Kikoru Shinomiya and her contemporaries, it seems fairly certain that the spinoff will aim to fill in the gaps of the mainline series rather than tell an original story.

Unfortunately, there is no verifiable spoiler information for Kaiju No. 8: B-Side chapter 6 at the time of this article’s writing. This is typical for Shonen Jump+ series, with their fully-digital publication process making it difficult to ascertain any spoiler information in a meaningful time frame prior to the issue’s release.

Thankfully, fans at least have verified official release information for the upcoming issue as of this article’s writing, if nothing else. Follow along as this article fully breaks down all currently available release information for Kaiju No. 8: B-Side chapter 6, as well as speculates on what to expect from the episode.

Kaiju No. 8: B-Side chapter 5 recap

Kaiju No. 8: B-Side chapter 5 began with a focus on Kikoru Shinomiya, who was giving an interview following the elimination of some Kaiju. She discussed how Mina Ashiro inspires her to reach for her level and continue training until she gets there. She also shared some encouraging words for the public regarding how she swears to neutralize any and all Kaiju which threaten Japan’s safety.

She then went to train in the gym, where she was perturbed by Kafka Hibino and others making excessive noise as they worked out. She also expressed concern for Kafka accidentally transforming, before meeting up with some other girls in the gym. Kikoru ranted about Kafka and the others for a bit, prompting the girls to point out how much she talks about him recently. While responding and clearly flustered, she was approached by Soshiro Hoshina.

Hoshina invited her to come down to the operations room in place of afternoon training for her, which Kikoru thought would result in her being questioned about Kafka. However, when arriving, she learned she’d be supplied with a special weapon, a privilege usually only reserved for high-ranking officers. The chapter ended with Kikoru first training with her new sword, before being told to go use it in real combat against a Kaiju that was recently captured.

Given the current focus on Kikoru Shinomiya, Kaiju No. 8: B-Side chapter 6 should continue to stick with her as she trains with her new weapon and gets used to it. Likewise, with this sword being different from the ax she wields in the mainline series, fans can expect the spinoff to address how she got the ax sometime in the near future.

Chapter 6 should also be an action-packed installment with Kikoru set to take on a real Kaiju with her new weapon. This could also involve Kaiju No. 9, who could be monitoring the very same Kaiju and its skills in anticipation of the current events in the mainline series.
