Kaiju No. 8 chapter 102 is set to release at the following times in the corresponding time zones:
Chapter 101 recap
Kaiju No. 8 chapter 101 began with Kafka Hibino and Reno Ichikawa working together to create an opening for the former to leave. As they fought, Ichikawa revealed his dedication to proving himself and his strength to Kafka. He then remembered his youth, where he thought heroes were just fiction as his parents and brother died, his school burnt to the ground, and his grandmother cried every night with no hero ever showing up.
Ichikawa then thinks back to when Kafka saved him, saying he met a hero for the first time and has since been his own goal due to Kafka saving him over and over again since. He then said it was his turn to save Kafka, and that he’ll be the one to clear Kafka’s way forward from now on. Ichikawa was then taken by surprise by an extra Mega Monster. However, even after the attack seemingly landed, Kafka calmly said that he was going and that the rest was up to him.
As he said this, Ichikawa froze and killed the Mega Monster, revealing himself to be perfectly fine. He said he understood, while internally telling Kafka to go and not to look back. The chapter ended with Ichikawa killing the final Mega Monster, as he said Kafka trusting him is the greatest badge of honor he could possibly wear.
What to expect (speculative)
With the Mega Monsters seemingly all defeated as of the end of the previous release, Kaiju No. 8 chapter 102 will likely see No. 9 reveal a trump card in the form of another numbered Kaiju. This new numbered Kaiju will likely appear at Ichikawa’s location, initially overwhelming him via the element of surprise as their fight begins..
Kaiju No. 8 chapter 102 is also likely to give a brief focus to Kafka Hibino, who will likely muse on his origins with Ichikawa in the Kaiju Defense Force. He’ll likely share how grateful he is to have strong friends like him as perspective returns to Ichikawa’s fight against whatever numbered Kaiju debuts next.
