Expected storyline in Kaiju #8 Chapter 117

Kaiju #8 Chapter 117 was intended to reveal the connection between Kafka’s Kaiju transformation and the Oni Mask Warrior and probably also clarify his origin. It could turn out that the tiny Kaiju that infected Kafka is responsible for his physical transformation, while the Oni Mask Warrior may contribute to a hybrid form that allows for greater control over his powers.

This chapter may contain a flashback that explores this backstory while revealing more about Hoshina and Narumi’s current conditions following their encounter with the Meireki Era Mega Monster in Kaiju #8 Chapter 117.

Kaiju #8 Chapter 116 Summary

Kaiju #8 Chapter 116 begins with a flashback to four years prior, detailing Soshiro Hoshina’s early days in the Kaiju Defense Force. Gen Narumi openly disliked Hoshina during their first meeting and even compared him to his brother Soichiro.

At this point, Hoshina was already assigned to the Third Division, but Narumi recognized Hoshina’s sophisticated “signal flow” by using his No. 1 weapon skills. Narumi and his team urged Hoshina to join the First Division, citing her strength, but Hoshina politely declined.

Back in the present, Hoshina and Narumi are on the battlefield in Kaiju #8 Chapter 116, where they face the Meireki Era mega monster together. Despite their strained relationship, they coordinate their attacks using powerful techniques.

Narumi’s abilities force weaker troops to stay away as his strength poses a risk. As the duo battles Meireki, Hoshina worries about Kafka, who remains critically injured. The chapter then shows the Meireki-era mega monster blocking its swings mid-attack.

Kafka expresses in his mindscape a desire to return to battle, and Kaiju #8 Chapter 116 ends as he encounters the mysterious Oni Mask figure seen in the previous chapters.
