Expected plot in Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 118

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 118 will likely reveal more about the origins and nature of the Flying Larva that infected Kafka in Chapter 1 of the series. It may explore when and where the entity became conscious, and its activities prior to encountering Kafka.

The oni-mask warrior’s identity, potentially a collective consciousness of fallen soldiers and previous users of the parasite kaiju weapons, will also be clarified. Additionally, the chapter is expected to explain why the Flying Larva chose Kafka in the first place.

Given the sequence of events, this decision may be tied to significant events in the creature’s long history. Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 118 may conclude with the Flying Larva discovering Kafka, bringing fans up to speed with events leading up to the first chapter when Kafka was first infected.

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 117 recap

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 117 begins with the oni-mask warrior urging Kafka to deepen his bond with his Kaiju powers. Kafka finds himself in a vivid memory of an ancient battlefield, clad in armor and wielding weapons similar to those of countless other soldiers.

These warriors, using primitive gear powered by parasites, face a massive Kaiju. Shocked by their seemingly hopeless battle, Kafka is nearly struck by the Kaiju before being saved by Soshiro Hoshina's ancestor, a skilled swordsman.

The battle culminates in the apparent defeat of the Kaiju, but it reveals its true form – the Meireki Era Mega Monster – opening an innumerable number of eyes as seen with No. 9 in the present. The oni-mask warriors despair at their inability to stop the creature, which destroyed their families and homes.

As he embodied one of the fallen soldiers and felt their massacre firsthand in Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 117, Kafka learns how their lingering wrath, combined with their parasitic weapons, gave rise to the Flying Larva that eventually infected him at the beginning of the series.
