Chapter 83 recap

Kaiju No. 8 chapter 83 began with a flashback to a conversation between Kikoru Shinomiya and Kadka Hibino. Shinomiya asked Kafka not to save her or interfere, since she’ll defeat her enemy no matter how strong they are. Back in the present, Rin Shinonome urged Kafka Hibino to fall back, saying that they can’t afford to lose him here.

Kafka reassured Rin that he wouldn’t fall here, transforming and getting the attention of all the Kaiju on the battlefield. Meanwhile, Director General Keiji Itami said Kafka might be just what they need to get the situation under control. Kafka then surveyed the battlefield, identifying where his allies are and recognizing the strength of the enemies they’re fighting.

He then contacted Shinomiya, telling her that he won’t save her, and that he had his enemy taken care of. As the Kaiju charges at Kafka, Rin and the others get reasonably scared. However, Kafka blocks his enemy’s attack and seemingly defeats him in one hit, with all the other numbered Kaiju sensing this.

No. 15 comments on how she’ll wrap things up here and head over to Kafka, as Shinomiya is shown to be silently standing with a determined look on her face.

What to expect (speculative) in Kaiju No. 8 chapter 84

With Kafka claiming that he won’t save Shinomiya in the latest chapter, Kaiju No. 8 chapter 84 will likely see Shinomiya fight to defeat her enemy all on her own. Likewise, the chapter might exclusively focus on Shinomiya, with recent issues clearly putting her and her fight in the spotlight.

That being said, it is possible that Kaiju No. 8 chapter 84 will bounce around to other battlefields before focusing on Shinomiya. This will be particularly exciting, as it might seemingly set up the battles fans will see once Shinomiya confirms her own victory. However, this is purely speculative, with no spoiler information for the upcoming issue available as of this article’s writing.
