Recap of Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 123

In Chapter 123, Kafka Hibino sought to expand the danger zone radius as Meireki was transforming into a more destructive form. Kafka further explained that Meireki was responsible for the devastating fires in Tokyo and the associated “network of monsters”under Japan. As Meireki attacked him, Kafka made a daring leap to evade and counterattack, yet found his efforts thwarted.

Recognizing that Meireki had become even more formidable than it was 400 years ago, Kafka aimed to locate its core to incapacitate it. However, during this approach, a powerful glyph attack nearly decapitated him. Upon regenerating, Kafka noted the creature was gaining strength while unleashing a chilling cry that resurrected slain Kaiju across Japan, including those in Tokyo.

Meanwhile, Mina, Hoshina, and Gen faced relentless assaults from lower-ranking Kaiju, compelling Kafka to act swiftly. Meireki fortified itself by surrounding with glyph defenses, attempting to keep Kafka at bay. With urgency, Gen Narumi indicated that Numbers Weapon 1 was the sole path to triumph—but not through his own usage. The chapter concluded with Kikoru Shinomiya’s dramatic arrival, wielding both Numbers Weapons 1 and 4 simultaneously.

Anticipations for Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 124

As Chapter 124 unfolds, expect Kafka to express shock upon witnessing Kikoru’s mastery of Numbers Weapon 1, leading to a concise flashback. This flashback may reveal Narumi’s rigorous training of Kikoru as the heir to Number 1. Once Kikoru demonstrated compatibility with Weapon 4, she likely insisted on acquiring proficiency in both.

The narrative may clarify that Kikoru’s Number 1 is a distinct weapon from the one Gen is currently armed with. Following this revelation, the focus will shift to the ensuing confrontation between Kikoru and Kafka against Meireki. It’s plausible that Chapter 124 will conclude on a note of initial triumph, laying the groundwork for their future challenges as Meireki adapts in forthcoming chapters.
