Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 116 recap
Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 116 begins with a flashback to four years prior, depicting Soshiro Hoshina’s early days in the Kaiju Defense Force. Gen Narumi openly disliked Hoshina upon their first meeting, even comparing him to his brother, Soichiro.
At that time, Hoshina was already committed to the Third Division, yet Narumi, utilizing his Weapons No. 1 abilities, acknowledged Hoshina’s refined “signal flow.” Narumi and his team urged Hoshina to join the First Division, citing their strength, but Hoshina politely declined.
Back in the present, Hoshina and Narumi are on the battlefield in Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 116, where they confront Meireki Era Mega Monster together. Despite their tense relationship, they coordinate their attacks, utilizing powerful techniques.
Narumi’s skills force weaker troops to stay away due to the risk posed by his strength. As the duo struggle against Meireki, Hoshina worries about Kafka, who remains critically injured. The chapter then depicts the Meireki Era Mega Monster blocking their swings mid-attack.
Kafka, in his mindscape, expresses a desire to return to the fight, and Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 116 ends as he encounters the mysterious oni-mask figure seen in previous chapters.
