Expected plot in Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 119

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 119 will likely shift back to the battlefield, focusing on the current state of the fight against the Meireki Era Mega Monster. While Kafka was unconscious, Narumi and Hoshina may have struggled to hold Meireki at bay, with Mina attempting to awaken Kafka.

She may despair and assume Kafka has died, only for him to return in a powerful, transformed state, likely releasing a massive energy burst. Kafka’s reawakening should lead to a direct confrontation with the monster, setting up a three-on-one fight involving Kafka, Narumi, and Hoshina against Meireki.

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 118 recap

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 118 depicts Kafka’s choice to embrace his powers fully. The oni-mask warrior explains the Flying Larva’s origins, calling it “the fruit of their grudge,” formed from the collective resentment of fallen warriors.

Unmasking himself, the warrior reveals a striking resemblance to Kafka, suggesting a familial connection. He offers Kafka two choices: reclaim his heart to live as a human or convert it into a new core to return as Kaiju No. 8 permanently, sacrificing his humanity.

Kafka thinks about the warriors’ pain and, moved by their sacrifice, accepts the core. Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 118 ends with Kafka seemingly undergoing a significant and perhaps permanent transformation, readying himself for battle.
