2. Kaiju No.8 Chapter 124 Recap
Chapter 124 of Kaiju No.8 started out with the reveal that Shinomiya Kikoru shows compatibility with several numbers weapons. She has class 5 compatibility with numbers weapon 4, and she also has class 4 compatibility with weapons 1,2, and 7. Shinomiya did not want to let this information out as she wanted No.9 to be fully surprised by her attack.
For this, she asked Narumi to train her to use the numbers weapon 1, to which he obliged. Everyone on the battlefield was shocked to see her successfully weidling No.1. Shinomiya made up her mind— she’d only mourn her dad’s death after she defeated No.9 and put him to rest. She asked Kafka to be sure to reach the kaiju’s core, and the two advanced to set chief Shinomiya free.
Kafka charged right at the Meireki era monster and got a face full of his attack right after stepping in. Shinomiya was determined not to let any of the monster’s attacks hit Kafka so that he could effectively attack its core. For this, Shinomiya knew she had to take out its attack point and locate its core to halve Kafka’s workload.
This was easier said than done, though, as Kikoru was trying pretty hard not to get hit by any attacks. While running about, she thought back on how all she could do during their last battle was hold everyone back, and that was the last thing she wanted to repeat. So leaped up, overflowing with strength and resolve, aimed her weapon at the Meireki era monster, and positioned herself to attack.
3. What To Expect In Chapter 125?
In chapter 125 of Kaiju No.8, we can expect the fight between Shinomiya, Kafka, and the Meireki Era monster to reach a whole new level. All we know at this point is that Kikoru can use the numbers weapons, but we know no more than that. In the upcoming chapter, she will likely demonstrate her true potential, and with this, kafka will probably be able to get a few fatal hits in.
The latest chapter of the manga also featured Ashiro asking Okonogi for a favor. Although her request wasn’t revealed in the chapter, one could guess that she wanted to rejoin the battle, as she couldn’t bear to sit and watch as Kafka struggled. She might likely ask Okonogi to remove the limiter on her suit.
