After the previous chapter of Kaiju No.8 featured Kafka hearing voices in his head, everyone was taken aback on seeing a mysterious man who looked like an army general. Since Kafka is going to have another round of visions of the past, let’s hope more information on the mysterious Kaiju around him is revealed.
In this article, we’ll recap chapter 117 of Kaiju No.8, ask well as discuss the release date and speculations for the next chapter. Keep in mind that we’ll be discussing spoilers from the manga, so do proceed carefully.

Chapter 118 of Kaiju No.8 will be released on Thursday, the 5th of December, 2024. It can be read from official sources like MangaPlus (by Shueisha) and Shonen Jump.

2. Kaiju No.8 Chapter 117 Recap
The chapter began with Kafka finding himself on a battlefield again, just like his last vision. Kafka was shocked to see that everyone was equipped with primitive weapons, some of which acted as parasites on the human body. This was indicative of how much humans and technology had grown in order to fight Kaiju. While being confused in the crowd, Kafka got shoved and scolded by a man who looked like Commander Hoshina. He assumed that the man must be Hoshina’s ancestor.
Kafka watched as the primitive army managed to take the Daikaiju down. This was when the voice told him that although they tried their best to fulfil their responsibilities, they were no match for the kaiju that arose from within the defeated kaiju, which is likely the same kaiju Kafka was fighting earlier. Kakfa watched as the kaiju wiped out every human in the vicinity, trampling upon all of humanity’s efforts.
After the Meireki Era, daikaiju laid waste to everything: the warriors, their homes, and their families; we got to see something from within these fallen warriors fuse with the parasitic weapons they used to form the larvae-like parasite that entered Kafka’s body at the beginning of the series.
We can assume it was the hate within their spirits for the Kaiju that manifested, along with the Kaiju remnants that they were fused with, which caused this parasite to be born. This explains why Kafka has been seeing visions related to ancient battlefields since he’s tasked with carrying forward the hate that those soldiers possessed for the Kaiju.
3. What To Expect in Chapter 118 of Kaiju No.8?
In chapter 118, we can expect information regarding the parasite that entered Kafka, like how it was formed, what its intention was, and most of all, why it chose Kafka. It is a mystery as to what this creature did for centuries, until entering Kafka’s body.
We may also get a glance at the battle where commanders Hoshina and Narumi were battling against the Meireki Era Daikaiju. While they were holding their own against it in the previous chapter, it’s very likely that the tables would be turned the next time we get to see them.
