Kaiju No. 8 chapter 112: Isao Shinomiya’s heroics as Kafka and Mina nearly defeat No. 9

The highly anticipated release of Kaiju No. 8 chapter 112 had fans on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the continuation of the intense battle between Mina Ashiro and Kafka Hbibino against Kaiju No. 9. Despite its official release on Thursday, August 15, 2024, the chapter did not bring the fight to a conclusion, but rather hinted at its impending end.

In chapter 112 of Kaiju No. 8, the trio of combatants reached drop site No. 14, where Mina Ashiro’s custom weapon was waiting with only one round remaining. Despite Mina successfully taking the shot, it seemed that all hope was lost due to a final surprise from No. 9. However, Isao Shinomiya’s consciousness intervened and ultimately saved the day.

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 112: Victory at Last…?

The opening of Kaiju No. 8 chapter 112 showed Mina Ashiro firing a shot at No. 9, which hit its mark successfully. However, No. 9 managed to use No. 2’s shield to defend himself, ultimately saving himself from harm. This resulted in No. 2’s shield being temporarily disabled. No. 9 acknowledged this tactic, realizing that the shot was intended to break the shield and ultimately lead to the destruction of his core, causing all the Kaiju variants within him to be destroyed as well.

Despite Kafka’s sudden attack, he continued to congratulate the pair’s clever plan. However, Kafka soon realized that there was one more smaller shield protecting No. 9’s core. This shield was a result of No. 9’s natural ability to erect two shields, as well as having No. 2’s abilities within him. Smugly, No. 9 declared that his core shield would be fully restored by the time he strikes, confidently claiming victory.

In the 112th chapter of Kaiju No. 8, Kafka questioned whether he could break through the shield and cause damage to the core. Despite realizing that there was no use in dwelling on it, he knew he had to attempt it. Suddenly, something shifted inside No. 9 and he didn’t understand what was happening as his control over No. 2 started to weaken. This ultimately led to the revelation that Isao Shinomiya’s consciousness had resurfaced.

Additionally, No. 9 hinted that Isao retained a significant amount of strength and awareness, indicating that he may have been anticipating this chance instead of futilely struggling since his passing. Isao’s consciousness appeared almost animated as he bled and received a pupil in his left eye, holding onto No. 9 tightly during this occurrence.

In chapter 112 of Kaiju No. 8, the barrier protecting No. 9’s core collapsed, leaving Kafka in disbelief. But what truly surprised Kafka was the transformation of No. 9’s left eye and face into that of Isao Shinomiya. Tears filled Kafka’s eyes as he realized this, while No. 9 desperately attempted a final, powerful attack in response.

As No. 9 launched his attack, Mina could be seen smiling while No. 9 appeared to be taken aback by something. This led to the revelation that Kafka had emerged unscathed. Kafka then proceeded to prepare his variant number six technique, prompting No. 9 to excitedly question how much further humans would surpass his expectations. In a final showdown, Kafka unleashed his Modified Thunder Emperor attack on No. 9’s core, causing visible damage as the issue came to a close. The issue concluded with a monumental shockwave created by Kafka’s powerful attack.

Kaiju No. 8: Final Thoughts

Although it is not officially confirmed in Kaiju No. 8 chapter 112, it appears that No. 9’s death is inevitable following Kafka’s latest and possibly final attack. The specific damage to No. 9’s core, as shown in the chapter, strongly implies this outcome, particularly due to the strength of Kafka’s attack. Confirmation of No. 9’s demise is expected soon.

Despite this, it appears that the series is not yet ready to conclude, as there are still countless unanswered questions surrounding No. 9 and the source of Kafka’s abilities. Although this battle may potentially pave the way for the ultimate finale, it is doubtful that No. 9 will meet his end here. If he does, however, fans can anticipate a new Kaiju rising to take his spot and carry on the highly successful manga series.
