Recap of Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 116

Chapter 116 of Kaiju No. 8 opened with a flashback illustrating the first encounter between Soshiro Hoshina and Gen Narumi. Initially, Narumi held a strong dislike for Hoshina, but his respect grew after seeing Hoshina’s capabilities through Weapons No. 1 and other observations. Consequently, Narumi invited Hoshina to join him as Vice-Captain of the First Division, but Hoshina declined, stating he had already chosen his superior before leaving.

Narumi, feeling disheartened by Hoshina’s rise to Vice-Captain of the Third Division and his breaking of Narumi’s combat records, returned to the present as both characters engaged the Meireki Era Mega Monster (referred to as Meireki). Their combined strength was emphasized, indicating Hoshina’s impressive skill in taking on the perilous task of fighting alongside Narumi.

Hoshina acknowledged Narumi’s formidable strength, expressing a desire to avoid confrontations with him. Together, they aimed for a decisive strike against Meireki, which effortlessly thwarted their attack and retaliated. Meanwhile, Kafka was drawn in by the oni-mask warrior’s call. The chapter concluded with the warrior suggesting that Kafka must “strengthen his connection” to rejoin the fray.

Speculations on Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 117

In all likelihood, Chapter 117 of Kaiju No. 8 will elucidate how both the tiny Kaiju that infected Kafka and the oni-mask warrior are pivotal to his powers. The Kaiju is anticipated to provide Kafka with physical transformations and abilities, while the oni-mask warrior will likely enhance control and hybrid capabilities in a transformed state. Although this might not be expressly stated, the forthcoming flashback should clarify these concepts.

Additionally, the chapter may touch upon the current status of Hoshina and Narumi without interrupting the flashback flow. Kafka’s grievances might lead to significant revelations about Meireki, compelling him to collaborate. The issue is expected to wrap up with a significant disclosure regarding Meireki’s origins or unique powers.
