Following Kafka Hibino’s return to the battlefield, Kaiju No. 8 chapter 120 should excitingly see his rematch against the Meireki Era Mega Monster (Meireki for short) begin. Understandably, fans are likewise desperate for any and all spoilers they can get on the upcoming issue, yearning to see exactly how the upcoming fight goes in its opening moments.

However, a major complication arises in the form of the series’ digital publication nature. This approach makes it naturally averse to the creation of a reliable spoiler process, which typically relies on early printing in paper magazines. Likewise, it’s almost certain that fans do not get any reliable spoilers for Kaiju No. 8 chapter 120.

That being said, it’s relatively obvious what Kaiju No. 8 chapter 120’s main focus will likely be, even without the assistance of verifiable spoilers for the upcoming issue. Before Kafka’s rematch with Meireki officially begins, he’ll likely speak with Narumi briefly, followed by a flashback sequence to what he said to Mina after waking up.

Kaiju No. 8 chapter 120 should begin with some brief teasing but loving banter between Kafka and Gen Narumi about the former taking a rest. Kafka will likely counter with a quip about Narumi’s inability to defeat Meireki, prompting Narumi to begin sharing intel with the former. This should prompt Kafka to explain he’s already intimately familiar with what Meireki is and how powerful it can be thanks to his flashback.

At this moment, Soshiro Hoshina and Mina Ashiro will likely appear, both approaching Narumi with concern for the devastating injury he currently has. Mina will likely tell Soshiro and Kafka to keep fighting while she stays behind with Narumi to try and keep him alive. Narumi himself will likely fight this briefly before accepting such a path, prompting Hoshina and Kafka to pursue Meireki while focus stays with Narumi and Mina.

Kaiju No. 8 chapter 120 may see Narumi reveal that his death is essentially confirmed due to Meireki’s attack piercing his heart directly, which Mina will solemnly recognize. This should prompt Narumi to tell her to fight with Hoshina and Kafka instead before realizing that his colleague is crying silently. This should lead to a flashback to when Kafka first woke up in front of Mina, showing his healing process and reawakening.

Mina will likely try to ask Kafka some questions, but get nothing out of him until she point blank asks him if he’s okay and if anything has changed about his body. Kafka will likely be walking away from her as she asks this, prompting him to look back, smile, and assure her that he’s totally fine and there’s nothing to worry about. This would serve as a callback to their conversation on the roof before this latest battle, where she lamented his “take it all on” attitude.

Chapter 120 should see Mina pause briefly at this, before giving Kafka what he wants and agreeing with him. As she chases to catch up with him, focus should return to the present, where Narumi is putting the dots together and ridicules Kafka for being so reckless. The issue should then end with a shift in focus to Hoshina and Kafka as they prepare to fight Meireki, possibly for the final time.
