What to expect in Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 114?

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 114 will likely deal with the aftermath of No. 9’s apparent defeat. It’s likely that No. 9's comment on Kafka’s ‘victory’ referred only to Kafka having defeated the entity (Kaiju No. 9) that was controlling the Meireki Era Mega Monster.

With No. 9’s apparent death, the Mega Monster has officially been set loose, even launching a devastating attack on Kafka in reality. Backup for Kafka and Mina is expected to arrive soon, providing necessary reinforcements to confront this new and likely overwhelming threat.

The arrival of other Kaiju Defense Force officers may also contribute to their understanding of the situation. Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 114 is likely to mark the beginning of the conclusion of the Last Wave arc, as Kafka and his allies face one of their most dangerous challenges yet.

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 113 recap

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 113 saw Kafka continue his battle against No. 9, shattering its core into countless fragments. Observers, including Mina and the Kaiju Defense Force staff, initially believe the battle is won. However, No. 9 unexpectedly tells Kafka they need to “chat.”

Energy from the kaiju’s core radiates into Kafka's body, and Kafka, still transformed, finds himself on a battlefield in Feudal Era Japan that is littered with corpses. There, he spots a familiar mask, and No. 9 appears in a childlike form, suggesting that Kafka’s presence and power were inevitable.

Kafka demands answers in Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 113, but No. 9 cryptically mentions Kafka's connection to the Kaiju that infected him. He asks Kafka whether he remembers this place, and wonders how deep Kafka’s hatred ran.

When Kafka wonders if the kaiju is still alive, but No. 9 admits its defeat. The monster says it wants to understand humanity more but claims it has no hidden plans left. Kafka remains suspicious, sensing something attempting to escape from within No. 9.

Suddenly, the kaiju inside Kafka reacts violently in Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 113, repeating the word “die” as monstrous forms pour out of No. 9. No. 9 tells Kafka that it has lost control, just as the ground underneath Kafka begins rumbling.

As the battlefield changes, No. 9 attempts to remember what its form is called. It bursts out of the rubble, having now transformed into the Meireki Era Mega Monster, a gigantic creature with multiple heads, eyes and limbs.

Upon seeing the creature, Kafka remembers the mask from before, seeing a brief vision of a samurai near in front of a shrine. Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 113 ends back in reality, where Kafka has been impaled by a part of the Mega Monster while Mina watches in horror.
