Chapter 85 recap
Kaiju No. 8 chapter 85 began immediately where the last issue ended, with Kikoru Shinomiya celebrating her apparent defeat of Kaiju No. 15. However, it soon became apparent that this wasn’t the case, as Kikoru and readers were taken inside No. 15’s mind. Here, fans saw No. 15 asking her “father,” No. 9, if he loves her, with No. 9 kept stringing her along on this matter to make her stronger.
Eventually, No. 9 promised to love No. 15 if she killed Kikoru Shinomiya, which is why she fought so hard. In the present, No. 15 explains how Kikoru’s dad was strict with her because he loved her, whereas her dad just wanted to make her his pawn. An image of No. 9 refusing to look at No. 15 despite being at death’s door appears in her final moments, with her death confirmed shortly thereafter.
Shinomiya comments how she can never like No. 15 on principle alone but promises to beat No. 9 up for her especially. Meanwhile, Narumi’s battle against No. 11 is seemingly becoming more unfair, prompting Shinomiya to remind her mentor that he’s up next. Shinomiya requests a display of his true strength, which Narumi begins obliging in the final panels, revealing a strange pattern on his right eye.
What to expect (speculative)
Kaiju No. 8 chapter 86 will almost certainly begin with a focus on Narumi’s fight versus No. 11, as well as how he plans to change his combat style to overcome his opponent. Fans may be teased on what the pattern in Narumi’s right eye signifies and how it helps him in combat.
What's especially more exciting is that Kaiju No. 8 chapter 86 will almost focus exclusively on Narumi, likely to result in a purely fighting issue for fans to read. While readers have been getting exciting fight scenes of late, to see what is likely the benchmark of human power in action is truly transcendent indeed.
