Chapter 89 recap

Kaiju No. 8 chapter 89 began with a flashback to Soshiro Hoshina’s childhood, where it was revealed that his elder brother, Souichirou, was considered the pinnacle of the Hoshina family. Soshiro confirmed this by adding that he was always a cheap imitation of his perfect older brother. The chapter then returned to the present, where Soshiro and No. 10 agreed that No. 12 is indeed the final version of No. 10.

Soshiro mused on how both he and No. 10 are just “cheap imitations” when No. 12 moved to attack them. Thankfully, Soshiro dodged the devastating offensive, then telling No. 10 that they should kill it and not lose more than they already have. He then told Konomi Okonogi to drop “Case 7,” which caused several equipment pods to land on the battlefield from a nearby helicopter.

While this happened, Soshiro mused how 83% is seemingly the highest released force he and No. 10 can hit. Likewise, he asserted that the two needed to change tactics, revealing Soshina’s plan to switch to a single-blade style, his brother’s specialty. This started a flashback, where Soshiro asked Okonogi to forge him a new single-blade weapon ahead of the current battle, returning to the present to see the former slicing off one of No. 12’s arms.

What to expect (speculative)

Kaiju No. 8 chapter 90 will undoubtedly continue to focus on Soshina and No. 10’s battle against No. 12 to some degree. The true question of the chapter is whether or not fans will see Soshina’s apparent advantage continue, or if Kaiju No. 12 will mount a comeback for the ages to secure victory.

While the former is most likely, fans shouldn’t count out the latter just yet. No. 12 has only lost one limb thus far and will likely still be a serious threat in Kaiju No. 8 chapter 90, even with the missing limb. As such, there’s simply too much unknown about No. 12’s powers for fans to write the beast off yet, let alone assume that Soshina’s victory is secured after one meaningful blow.
