With Kafka ’s flashback exploring the origins of his powers seemingly over, Kaiju No. 8 chapter 119 should see him return to life and fight against the Meireki Era Mega Monster (Meireki for short). Likewise, fans are desperate for any and all spoiler information they can get on the upcoming issue, longing to know if Kafka’s return moves the needle in the efforts against Meireki.

Unfortunately, verifiable spoilers for Kaiju No. 8 chapter 119 are unavailable as of this article’s writing, and are unlikely to be made available prior to its upcoming release. This is due to the manga’s digital publication nature via Shonen Jump+, which inherently mitigates a spoiler process’ creation to the point of being a near-impossibility.

However, Kaiju No. 8 chapter 119’s major events and focuses can likely be predicted with significant accuracy given current events, even without the help of spoilers. Focus likely will return to reality, but not with Kafka’s revival, instead showing what’s happened as his flashback played out and how Gen Narumi and Soshiro Hoshina are faring.

Kaiju No. 8 chapter 119 will return readers to reality, but just before Kafka’s revival rather than as it happens

Kaiju No. 8 chapter 119 will likely open up with a continued shot of Kafka Hibino powering up in his mindscape. The oni-mask warrior will likely add some final comments here to hype up just how different Kafka will be when he returns, as focus shifts back to reality. Kafka’s body will likely still be unresponsive, with the return to reality placing readers at a point just before his revival rather than as it’s taking place.

A brief focus should be given to Mina Ashiro, who is all but ready to accept the fact that Kafka has died due to the damage Meireki inflicted on him. This should prompt her to think of Gen Narumi and Soshiro Hoshina as they fight against Meireki, wanting to provide cover for them since Kafka is a lost cause. However, just as she goes to find them and Meireki, Kafka’s body will likely twitch ever so slightly, causing her to pause as hope returns to her.

Kaiju No. 8 chapter 119 will likely leave the pair here since fans already know what this twitch in his body will lead to. This also opens the door for a continued focus on Naruma and Hoshina’s fight against Meireki, which should take up a majority of the issue’s runtime. The two will likely struggle with getting damage in against Meireki, but also prove to be too strong to be as easily defeated by Meireki as the likes of Mina would be.

This should prompt Meireki to begin using other powers at its disposal, possibly revealing that it has absorbed other Kaiju for their unique abilities in the past. This would also serve as a means of giving Meireki additional tools at its disposal for the coming rematch with Kafka, putting them on a relatively even level even with the latter’s powerup. Likewise, this should be the point at which Narumi and Hoshina realize that they’re out of their depths.

All three will likely then pause as they feel a massive energy preparing to unleash, with Kafka’s roars likely crying out shortly after. Focus should then return to Kafka’s body, seeing him fully heal and stand up before regaining his senses and greeting Mina. However, the two are unlikely to have an emotional reunion, instead deciding to reenter the fight against Meireki together as the issue ends.
