Recap of Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 124
In Chapter 124, a flashback revealed Kikoru’s compatibility with four Numbers Weapons — an extraordinary discovery that she requested remain confidential, recognizing its potential against No. 9. Following this, Kikoru enlisted Narumi to master No. 1, while the present action shifted focus back to the ongoing battle.
Throughout the chapter, the characters exchanged witty banter. Narumi disclosed how all of No. 1’s eyes share vision, including backups meant for repairs. Meanwhile, Kikoru was seen scavenging after her fight with No. 15, gaining insights into Narumi’s conflict with Meireki. As the First Division debated Narumi’s recklessness, he accepted full accountability for his actions.
As the action intensified, Kikoru was urged by Narumi to confront past grievances, particularly regarding her father. Collaborating with Kafka, they formulated a plan where Kikoru would create an opening for Kafka to target Meireki’s core. The chapter closed with Kikoru determinedly stating her intent to free her father, as Mina Ashiro appeared poised for a potential comeback.
Speculations for Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 125
Looking ahead, Chapter 125 is expected to dive deeper into the coordinated assault of Kafka and Kikoru against Meireki. Their powerful synergy might challenge the monster, leading them close to its core, though a setback could occur just as they are on the verge of victory.
Kafka might then experience nagging doubts about their ability to triumph, despite their preparations and No. 1’s capabilities. This uncertainty could result in a vulnerability, setting the stage for an ambush. Just as Meireki seems on the cusp of executing a counterattack, an unexpected long-range shot may intervene. Furthermore, the chapter may culminate in Mina revealing her compatibility with yet-to-be-introduced Numbers Weapons, amplifying her effectiveness in combat.
