2. Recap of Chapter 127 of Kaiju No. 8
Things kick off right where we left, Kikoru’s at her limit after a brutal offensive against the Meireki-era Kaiju, but she’s done just enough to expose the monster’s core. With Mina’s sharp leadership and Kikoru’s fierce determination, the battlefield is cleared for Kafka to strike. It’s his turn now, and the entire Defense Force is counting on him. But of course, nothing comes easy as the Kaiju’s body begins regenerating fast, threatening to hide the core once more.
Kafka reflects on how far he’s come, from a kid with a dream to a kaiju hybrid standing between humanity and annihilation. He remembers his promise to Mina, to be the coolest in the Defense Force and decides that punching out the biggest kaiju core of all time is exactly that. He channels everything into that final hit: his strength, the hatred of the Meireki-era samurai spirits, and the hopes of everyone who’s fought and fallen along the way.
Finally, Kafka smashes through Kaiju No. 9’s barrier, lands the punch, and everything erupts. The impact is massive and the Mega Kaiju’s screech is telling. The chapter ends with tension still crackling in the air. Has Kafka done it? Is this the end?
3. Speculation of Chapter 128 of Kaiju No. 8
Next chapter? It’s got to be the fallout. Assuming Kafka’s punch really ended it (and all signs point that way), we’re probably about to see the emotional aftermath where Kafka, battered and possibly unable to return to his human form, might collapse after giving literally everything.
There’s a good chance we’ll see raw reactions from Mina, Kikoru, Reno, and even the brass, coming to terms with the fact that this war may finally be over. But it won’t be all fireworks and relief.
There’s still a somber tone around the story. Chapter 128 will likely start tying up loose ends and preparing us for a final farewell with a look at what kind of world Kafka’s sacrifice helped create, and what “peace” even means after so much destruction.
Either way, chapter 128 is probably not the end just yet. Expect one more hurdle before the finish line.
