The previous chapter of Kaiju No.8 concluded with a shocking revelation about the monstrous entity within Kaiju No.9. Just as Hibino succeeded in destroying No.9’s core, we found both Kaiju engaged in a conversation in a separate realm, where Kaiju No.9 acknowledged his defeat.
However, the scene quickly shifted to unveil a powerful force rising from within No.9. This force violently pierced through Hibino, leaving everyone nearby, including the fans, in utter disbelief. The latest chapter of Kaiju No.8 brings more insights into the battalion’s current predicament, and this article aims to provide a detailed overview.
Exploring Kaiju No.9’s Past
The chapter opens with a glimpse into Kaiju No.9’s past, where he appeared significantly smaller than his present form. In his early days, he lacked an understanding of his own strength and spent most of his life isolated from humans. Nonetheless, his perspective shifted dramatically when he came to realize that he was far more powerful than any human.
This newfound awareness led him to a continual state of curiosity; he sought to understand the full spectrum of his abilities while wanting to learn more about humans. This curiosity escalated into an obsession, ultimately revealing the enigmatic creature he harbors within, unveiled in the previous chapter.
What Has Happened to Hibino Kafka? Is He Alive?
In the real world, it is confirmed that Kaiju No.8’s core has been destroyed. Despite this, Hibino exhibited some signs of defiance. The headquarters detected a signal indicating the emergence of an entirely new monster with unknown resilience from within No.9.
Following this, No.9’s face split open, revealing multiple unsettling eyes. Almost immediately, a mysterious mark appeared on Kafka’s arm, leading to a significant explosion that severed his arm, causing a massive wreck around him.
Shortly thereafter, a similar mark appeared on Kafka’s chest at the site of his stab wound, culminating in another catastrophic event: a gaping hole was torn through No.8’s chest, sending him hurtling backward.
Following this incident, headquarters failed to receive any further signs of life from Kaiju No.8, suggesting that he perished on the spot.
Will Captain Ashiro Also Face Doom?
In the wake of Kafka’s apparent death, Ashiro grew determined to avenge him, preparing to attack the new monster before it could inflict more damage. Unfortunately, her efforts were thwarted when the creature unleashed another shockwave, destroying her cannon and leaving her severely injured.
Yet, she was not finished. After enduring the impact, she geared up to take a shot with her pistol. Soon, the same mysterious mark that appeared on Kafka’s face manifested on Ashiro’s as well. The chapter concluded with a stark warning: no human could evade the looming threat of this disastrous monster.
Release Date for Chapter 115 of Kaiju No.8
The upcoming chapter of Kaiju No.8 is anticipated to drop on the 26th of September, though this date may be subject to change.
Readers can follow the Kaiju No.8 manga on official platforms such as MangaPlus, Viz Media, and Shonen Jump.
