Chapter 88 recap
Kaiju No. 8 chapter 88 began with Gen Narumi cementing his victory over Kaiju No. 11, while Keiji Itami remembered a conversation he had with Isao Shinomiya about Narumi. Itami essentially questions why Isao is working out despite being retired from active combat, to which he responds that he can’t look weak in front of Narumi until the young trainee becomes the real deal.
In the present, Itami tells Isao that Narumi is on his way to becoming the "real deal" as Narumi celebrates his victory and gloats to Isao before passing out. Kikoru Shinomiya is briefly seen celebrating Narumi’s victory before the perspective shifts to Chofu Airport. Here, Hoshina and No. 11 are fighting.
However, the latter is very clearly overwhelming the former with tremendous power, speed, and combat abilities. Both Hoshina and No. 10 recognize that No. 11 is an elevated or completed form of the prototype that is No. 10. The issue ends as Hoshina’s blades are broken by No. 11, leaving him and No. 10 defenseless.
What to expect (speculative)
Kaiju No. 8 chapter 89 is all but guaranteed to begin with a continued focus on Hoshina and No. 10’s battle against No. 11. This is further supported by the pattern that the Second Wave arc has taken thus far in the series with its battles, focusing on and finishing up one before moving onto the next in any capacity whatsoever.
Likewise, Hoshina’s battle is one of the last against the numbered kaiju still taking place, further supporting the idea that it will be the main focus. Kaiju No. 8 chapter 89 will likely see Hoshina and No. 10 continue to struggle against No. 11, especially with one sword down. Fans can expect a similar sort of powerup or elevated state to take place for either Hoshina or No. 10 as it did for Narumi in recent issues.
