Kaiju No. 8: Chapter 104 recap
Kaiju No. 8 chapter 104 begins with Mina Ashiro in awe at the scene surrounding her as Kaiju No. 9 appears and transforms into several people from various points in Japanese history. This suggests that No. 9 is either an old being or is simply the newest form of a similarly old entity. In any case, he demands Ashiro join her, but she fights back as best she can with the single pistol she can manifest.
However, she's eventually caught by the monsters that manifest and surround her, and she realizes there are hundreds of different monsters inside the dreamscape she's in. She kept struggling but was eventually swallowed by a giant monster, remembering the promise she made to Kafka as she felt her consciousness fading away. She remembered the times of their youth before calling out to Kafka, saying she didn't want to be alone.
At that moment, light floods the area, and a young Kafka Hibino appears, which she initially mistakes for being No. 9 again. He tells her it's okay and she's right by her side, causing her to realize it really is Kafka. This prompts a return to reality, where No. 9 is missing an arm. The episode ends by revealing that Kafka successfully stole Mina back from No. 9, as he turns to face Kafka and asks him how he got here.
Kaiju No. 8 chapter 105: What to expect (speculative)
While this chapter implicitly told viewers a lot about No. 9's origins, Kaiju No. 8 chapter 105 is unlikely to continue this trend, given Kafka's appearance and the obvious setup of their fight. If fans get any additional information on No. 9's origins, it will likely be very subtle remarks, which could set up future reveals coming once the fight against him is over.
Likewise, chapter 105 should see Kafka briefly engaging with No. 9 first before trying to escape with Mina. However, No. 9 should easily prevent this, forcing Kafka to fight with No. 9 for Mina while she recovers.
