Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 113 Recap

The 113th chapter of Kaiju No. 8 opened with the shattering and destruction of No. 9’s core. Despite facing certain death, No. 9 insisted on having a conversation with Kafka (known as Kaiju No. 8). In an instant, Kafka found himself in a battlefield within No. 9’s mind or memories, surrounded by lifeless bodies. As he looked around, Kafka recognized a peculiar mask on the ground that he had seen before. However, his thoughts were interrupted by the appearance of a younger version of No. 9.

No. 9 initially believed that the series of events were merely a coincidence, but now acknowledges that they were bound to happen. Reflecting on his past, No. 9 inquired if this place evoked any memories for him. He admitted to not feeling a strong connection to “it,”likely referring to the Kaiju within him. No. 9 then confirmed Kafka’s victory, expressing its delight in humanity’s ability to surpass its expectations. However, Kafka urged No. 9 to be honest and stop concealing something.

As energy overflowed from No. 9 in the form of monstrous faces, Kafka questioned what was trying to escape from him. This caused the Kaiju within him to react, and No. 9 explained that its core had been destroyed, making it unable to maintain equilibrium. The truth was then revealed that No. 9 was the colossal Meireki Era Mega Monster. Sadly, Kafka was gravely injured by an assault from No. 9’s chest, where its core once resided.

What to expect from the upcoming Kaiju No. 8 chapter 114 (speculative)

Despite the series showing no signs of ending, fans are currently more focused on Kafka’s well-being after the attack by No. 9. It is expected that Mina Ashiro will take action to assist Kafka, potentially saving his life but unable to prevent any further harm.

Kaiju No. 8 chapter 114 is expected to provide clarification on the true form of the Meireki Era Mega Monster. In chapter 113, Kafka may have only seen the beast as it was in the past, rather than its current form. While a more monstrous appearance is possible, it is more probable that it has adapted a more refined form, having observed human society while disguised as No. 9.
