The last Kaiju No. 8 chapter began with Kafka Hibino standing before the exposed core of the Meireki Era Mega Monster, empowered by Kikoru and Mina’s combined efforts. As the monster begins to regenerate, Kafka calls on the spirits of the Meireki samurai, asking for their rage to fuel his punch.

A quick flashback montage depicts his journey and promise to Mina. Despite the Meireki’s desperate counterattack, Kafka smashes through the barrier and destroys the core in a single blow. The chapter ends with the Meireki shrieking as everyone waits for the outcome.

Expected plot in Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 128

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 128 will likely confirm the Meireki monster’s destruction following Kafka’s decisive strike. With only two chapters remaining in the series, the focus will likely shift towards the resolution. A long-awaited reunion between Kafka and Mina could occur, along with a look at the aftermath of the final battle.

The chapter may begin exploring unanswered questions about the kaiju’s origins, how they were created, and the truth behind their continued existence. Whether Kafka’s human form is truly lost will likely also be revealed soon.
