Chapter 102 recap
Kaiju No. 8 chapter 102 began with Kafka Hibino departing as Reno Ichikawa killed what appeared to be the last Mega Monster in the area. Iharu Furuhashi then said it’s his turn after hearing of Ichikawa’s success, also receiving words of encouragement from Jugo Ogata. Jugo even said that it’s okay for Furuhashi to be nervous, since he’s good enough to focus on going down swinging and nothing else.
Furuhashi then grabbed a special-made weapon for himself and charged into battle, seemingly being killed immediately by a Mega Monster. However, he was revealed to have survived despite his released force being at just 24%. This began a flashback in which Jugo revealed that Furuhashi, like him, was a Flash Adapter. This meant that while he couldn’t maintain a high released force for long, he had a naturally rapid and explosive fighting style in exchange.
Jugo then taught him combat methods that force him into a short trance, which will in turn allow his released force to ramp up instantly for a brief moment to the point of surpassing Ichikawa. In the present, Furuhashi proved how effective this was as Jugo mused on his original intentions of using it to defeat Hikari Shinomiya. The episode ended with other Fourth Division soldiers entering the battle, while Gen Narumi teased also going after No. 9 like Kafka is.
What to expect (speculative)
With the Mega Monsters handled thanks to the arrival of the Fourth Division in full, Kaiju No. 8 chapter 103 should begin giving Furuhashi and Ichikawa one-on-one fights with real opponents. These will most likely be additional numbered Kaiju which No. 9 had made but kept hidden, either in case of emergency or for plans of a future attack on humanity.
Kaiju No. 8 chapter 103 should also elaborate further on Furuhashi’s Flash Adapter skill set, seeing him use it in much more versatile and creative ways given its apparent flexibility. Likewise, some focus should also be given to further expanding on Ichikawa’s powers, showing what the peak of his power can be as well.
