Kaiju No.8 Chapter 118 is set to release on Thursday, December 05, 2024, at 08:30 PM IST, according to the official website of Manga Plus. Kaiju No.8 Chapter 118 will pick up where Chapter 117 left off, with No.8 origin continuing and Kafka Hibino learning one or two things about the monster he has in him. He may understand the original power source of Kaiju No.8 and will use it to fight with No. 9 in the upcoming issue.
Finally, the writer and illustrator of the series, Naoya Matsumoto, introduced fans to the origin of No.8. The monster was born centuries ago or perhaps came from another plant. He is one of the strongest monsters and the only one helping humans with their affairs. After Kafka consumes No.8, he becomes the monster’s new host and gains all the monster’s powers. After this, they come together to save humanity from the threat of demons.
Additionally, the latest issue of Kaiju No.8 reveals Vice Commander Hoshina’s ancestor — they are fighting monsters from the beginning. He was the leader of the Monkey and Tiger Unit, a powerful team that fought monsters.
Even though they were in large numbers, they failed to kill the monster. This proves that time monsters are more powerful than the present ones. Later in the panel, fans noticed a mysterious figure talking to Kafka, explaining his situation.
At the time of this article, fans do not know what will happen with no verified spoilers for Kaiju No.8 Chapter 118 and beyond. However, fans have at least the confirmed release information on this issue, which will be released next month. It is far better than having nothing. Moreover, we share some of the fan’s theories regarding the upcoming issue and our predictions as well.

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 118: Release Date & Time
Kaiju No.8 Chapter 118 is the next in the series and will explore more of No.8 origin. The protagonist was injured after Kaiju No.9 launched his devastating attack, making him lose consciousness. However, he was unconscious, and the writer and illustrator found this perfect opportunity to show fans the origin of Kaiju.
In the past, warriors used special weapons made from the skin of monsters, but they lacked the scientific understanding to make much out of the raw material. They infused their bodies with these tools with the help of a sort of parasitic monster. However, using such tools can take a heavy toll on the body. Even with such tools, they lost those monsters.
This will be further explored in the upcoming issue of Kaiju No.8, where the mysterious figure tries to help Kafka by showing a way to use No.8. There’s no way of telling whether the flashback is over or not, but one thing sure, we will likely get to some action.

It is a powerful organization that deals with such problems regularly.
With the synopsis of Kaiju No.8, let’s get to Chapter 118, and it will pick from where the previously let off. In Kaiju No.8, Chapter 118, fans can expect the flashback to continue and reveal more about No.8. Further, the mysterious figure appearing in Chapter 117 likely helps Kafka with his problem dealing with Kaiju No.9. He will guide a way to defeat No. 9.

There’s a possibility that No.8 will take control of Kafka’s body and try to harm his subordinate as well as the enemy.

In short, the upcoming issue of Kaiju No.8 will highlight some of the most controversial topics in the community and answer a few. There’s no guarantee of seeing action in the upcoming chapter and beyond. However, there’s a possibility that a battle was still going on in the real world between Kaiju No. 9 and Vice Commander.
Kaiju No.8 Chapter 117: Recap
Kaiju No.8 Chapter 117 opens with the No.8 origin and how the parasitic monster helped humans defeat other monsters. The mysterious figure from the previous issue walks Kafka through the events where humanity has problems dealing with monsters that are bigger and more powerful than them.
The mysterious figure asks Kafka to walk together and explore ways to strengthen the protagonist’s connection with us. Kafka realized he was surrounded by ancient warriors, all prepared to charge. In the following panel, a giant monster attacked them, causing large-scale destruction. One of the warriors says,
What the hell are you doing?! You’re in the way!! Grow a spine already!
As the chapter goes on, Kafka learns more about the weapons. Ancient warriors used weapons made from monsters. However, the people of that time did not have the right technology to gather most of the raw materials. Moreover, he remembers ancient people fused their bodies to these tools with the help of a parasitic monster. This method has proven beneficial in battle and puts a huge toll on the body. The tolls of that time are opposite of today’s.
He was in his thoughts when a monster attacked him, but luckily, the warrior nearby saved Kafka. The warrior who saved him was the ancestor of Vice Commander Hosina. Her ancestor was a leader and led the Tiger Unit and Monkey Unit against the monster.
Later, the mysterious figure reappeared and told about the causality they had that day. He says,
We lost many of our own that day. Subjugating our foe.
According to the figure, the situation was always like that, and they carried out their duty with unrelenting ferocity. Chapter 117 of Kaiju No.8 ends with the heavy casualties ancient warriors faced after fighting with a monster. They lost everyone that day. But there’s good news as well, and that was the creation of a tiny insect. The insect was the Kaiju No.8, which Kafka devoured at the start of the series.

Chapter 118 Explain The Flying Larva Reason To Choose Kafka Specifically To Host
Following the beautiful showcasing of the Flying Larva origin in the latest issue, Kaiju No.8 Chapter 118 will explain how it came into existence. Likewise, fans can expect the following issue to open up in the battlefield’s aftermath, as seen in Chapter 117, showing the Flying Larva rising from the mountain on the human corpse. Since the entire series revolves around Kafka and the Flying Larva, showing the origin in the following chapter makes sense. There’s a possibility of Flying Larva getting introspective dialogue in the upcoming chapter, further explaining what it is and how it came into existence.
As Chapter 118 progresses, the focus from Kafka shifts to the Flying Larva as it showcases the monster’s life throughout the centuries. Further, it will explain why Flying Larva avoids Meireki Era Mega Monster, other Kaiju, and humans as well. It will be the main focus. There’s a possibility that Flying Larva will run into the former group at some point. This is supported by the fact that Kaij No.9, who is the current host of Meireki, seemingly knew and recognized Kafka’s powers. Whenever they encountered, one tried to kill the other.
Naoya Matsumoto hadn’t confirmed whether Meireki and others approached Flying Larva with an offer due to their believing it to be Kaiju. However, there’s a popular theory on the internet that suggests the relationship between the Flying Larva and Meireki, and why they hate each other.

Animeking: Summary
Kaiju No.8 Chapter 118 is the next and will cover further events from Chapter 117 in the series. Kafka will learn more about the parasite he devours, which turns into a Kaiju. Further, he will learn the most effective way to unleash power from the mysterious figure introduced in the previous chapter.
Naoya Matsumoto introduced fans to the Flying Larva. It is one of the strongest Kaiju in the series and perhaps the only one who was humanity from the start. In the latest issue, the writer and illustrator highlight the origin of Flying Larva, which was raised from the mountain on a human corpse. Further, Flying Larva rises in the latest issue, raises many questions regarding the Kaiju’s origin. There’s a possibility that the question will be answered in the upcoming chapter.
Fans can expect a fearsome battle between the Flying Larva and the Meireki Monster in the upcoming chapter. And it will highlight the reason behind their hatred for one another. In the previous chapter, we saw a mysterious figure walk Kafka through all the events that happened in the past, including the massacre of many people by the monster. He will share one or two ways to control the Kaiju power for his own sake.
There’s no confirmation, but the mysterious figure that appeared in the latest issue will be the first host of Flying Larva. And the way Chapter 117 goes, likely the mysterious figure was the ancestor of Kafka, and therefore, Flying Larva chose him. There are many possibilities, but the one where Kafka’s ancestor was the host of Flying Larva makes more sense. If it is true, then Kafka’s compatibility with Flying Larva makes sense.
In Kaiju No.8 Chapter 118, fans can expect a flashback of Meireki Monster and Kaiju No.8. The two may the best friends at the start, but then one betrays the other, which started the hating game.
