Kaiju No. 8 chapter 112 recap

Kaiju No. 8, chapter 112, began with Mina Ashiro firing the last magazine in her custom weapon at No. 9, successfully hitting it and breaking its shield. While impressed with their strategy, No. 9 foiled it somewhat by revealing a second, smaller shield maintained around his core specifically. This was due to No. 2 and No. 9 having separate shields. No. 9 bragged about his victory, withstanding Kafka Hibino’s attack and then regenerating his outer shield.

Kafka committed to attacking since they had no other option when No. 9 suddenly felt something was wrong. He then lost control of No. 2 as Isao Shinomiya’s consciousness rose to the surface, seemingly having been waiting for this exact moment based on his appearance and No. 9’s dialogue. Isao then took control of No. 9’s body to the point where his face started to appear, deactivating his shield in the process.

Kafka recognized this and shed a tear as No. 9 tried counterattacking. However, Kafka survived and, thanks to Isao, landed his Alternative Sixth Form, Neo God of Thunder, on No. 9’s core. No. 9 questioned how many times humans will continue surpassing his expectations, as Kafka was seen breaking through the core’s outer shell. The issue ended by showing the shockwave of this final blow but not confirming No. 9’s defeat.

What to expect from Kaiju No. 8 chapter 113 (speculative)

Although No. 9’s defeat isn’t confirmed heading into Kaiju No. 8 chapter 113, fans can expect it to be confirmed in the next issue that its core is damaged to the point of being unable to fight. This could be a happy compromise for mangaka Naoya Matsumoto, as it may allow him to give Kafka, Mina, and the Kaiju Defense Force this victory without killing off No. 9.

On that note, however, chapter 113 should serve as a major indicator of whether the series is set to end in the coming weeks or begin a new major story arc/saga. It’s difficult to say which is the case heading into chapter 113, but No. 9’s status by the issue’s end should be a good indicator.
