What awaits us in Kaiju No. 8, Chapter 113?

Kaiju #8 Chapter 113 will likely pick up where the previous chapter left off, as the battle between Kafka Hibino and Kaiju #9 is expected to reach its climax. Given how the last chapter ended, the battle may finally be over and end with Kafka's victory.

Although No. 9's death is unconfirmed, Kafka's recent attack suggests it is imminent. If No. 9 is defeated, it could introduce a new threat to the series, as the unanswered questions surrounding No. 9 and the origin of Kafka's powers suggest the story is not over yet.

However, it is also possible that the Kaiju has a contingency plan in case his core is destroyed, as he did not show his usual panic when Shinomiya destroyed his shield and Kafka seemingly destroyed his core. How this plays out in Kaiju #8, Chapter 113 remains to be seen.

Kaiju No. 8, Chapter 112, Summary

Kaiju #8 Chapter 112 is titled “A Single Shot, Straight and Accurate!” The chapter begins with Mina Ashiro directly hitting Kaiju #9, who blocks the attack with Kaiju #2's shield. Although the shield is temporarily inoperable, #9 reveals that he has another, smaller shield around his core, made up of his own powers and #2's abilities.

As Kafka charges toward him, No. 9 arrogantly proclaims his impending victory, confident that his core shield will regenerate in time. But No. 9 suddenly senses something is wrong within him as his control over No. 2 begins to falter.
