The last chapter of Kaiju No. 8 began with Kafka urging the expansion of the danger zone as Meireki prepared to reveal its true form. He confirmed Meireki was responsible for Tokyo’s historic burning and the vast underground kaiju network beneath Japan. When Meireki attacked, Kafka dodged and countered but found his attacks ineffective.

He planned to locate its core but was struck by a powerful attack that destroyed his head. After regenerating, he saw Meireki revive Kaiju corpses across Japan. As Kafka struggled against its incredible defenses, Kikoru Shinomiya arrived, wielding both Numbers Weapons 1 and 4 simultaneously.

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 124 will likely begin with Kafka’s shock at Kikoru’s use of Numbers Weapon 1, leading to a brief flashback revealing Narumi had trained her as its successor. It may also clarify that Kikoru's version is distinct from the one Narumi still possesses.

The chapter should then shift focus to Kikoru and Kafka engaging Meireki in combat. While they may initially gain the upper hand, Meireki will likely adapt to the duo’s attacks and patterns, creating future challenges.
