Summary of Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 115

In chapter 115 of Kaiju No. 8, the action commenced with an order for Mina to retreat, confirming Kafka’s lack of vital signs. No. 9 reminded Mina that no one, including the Defense Force, has ever escaped the Meireki Era Mega Monster. Despite this, Mina’s determined expression puzzled No. 9 as she recalled how Hoshina continuously compensated for her shortcomings.

Hoshina, who appeared behind the Meireki Era Mega Monster, unleashed his Strata Strike, but it failed to vanquish the creature, prompting Mina to provide suppressive fire. Hoshina directed Okonogi to advance into Phase 2 of their strategy while exchanging brief encouragement with No. 10. Meanwhile, several weapon canisters containing swords descended.

Hoshina struck with long-range slashes directed at Meireki, though the monster appeared to nullify the attacks. He advised Mina to concentrate on Kafka, who expressed his inability to confront Meireki alone. This led Gen Narumi to assert over the comms that he is the backbone of the country and doesn’t need permission to enter the fight. The chapter concluded with Narumi’s entrance and the activation of Weapons No. 1 in preparation for combat.

Anticipated Developments in Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 116

With Narumi and Hoshina now engaged on the battlefield, chapter 116 is likely to concentrate on their struggle against Meireki. This could unveil critical insights into the ancient Kaiju’s characteristics and vital functions, particularly with Narumi’s involvement. Hoshina’s combat skills may also shed light on the state of the Meireki Era Mega Monster, including its vulnerabilities and defenses.

This segment is expected to account for a substantial portion of the chapter, showcasing how the duo can delay Meireki without achieving further success. Following this, attention is likely to shift towards Mina, who may attempt to communicate her sentiments to Kafka in hopes of reviving him. As he lies unresponsive, the chapter will probably end with a glimpse into Kafka’s mind, where he might converse with the Kaiju within him.
