Kaiju no 8 chapter 120 release date, exact time, where to read

Kaiju no 8 chapter 120 opens a new chapter in the battle for humanity, as Kafka Hibino steps forward, fully embracing his role as Kaiju no 8.

With the weight of the Defense Force’s sacrifices behind him, Kafka must now face the overwhelming power of Kaiju no 9.

As the dust settles, this chapter promises pivotal action and a turning point in humanity’s struggle for survival.

Kaiju no 8 chapter 119 recap

In Kaiju no 8 chapter 119, Mina Ashiro closely watched Kafka Hibino, who appeared lifeless. Despite the medical team reporting no vital signs, Mina noticed a twitch in Kafka’s wrist.

Mina recalled that during a previous battle, Kafka had reverted to his human form after losing consciousness. Even with his core damaged, he remained in his kaiju form, leading Mina to conclude that he was still fighting for survival.

Meanwhile, Gen Narumi and Soshiro Hoshina were locked in a difficult battle against the mega monster, Kaiju no 9. Both were growing tired, with Narumi’s suit at fifteen percent output and Hoshina’s at twelve percent.

Hoshina struggled to land any attacks as the kaiju predicted all his movements. He realized that the monster comprised hundreds of smaller kaiju entities, giving it advanced predictive abilities.

Narumi used his enhanced vision to see multiple possible outcomes of the kaiju’s movements. Although this gave him an edge, it was still a daunting challenge. He launched a series of rapid attacks, briefly gaining the upper hand. Despite their fatigue, Narumi and Hoshina worked together to keep up the offensive.

When Narumi’s suit overheated, he overrode the safety limits, pushing it to its maximum capacity and risking serious damage to himself. He continued to fight, inspired by Isao Shinomiya’s sacrifice and determination to protect the future.

As Narumi raised his weapon for a final attack, Kaiju no 9 countered and impaled him. The attack was eerily similar to one that had injured Hoshina’s ancestor in the past.

Just as the kaiju prepared to finish Narumi off, Kafka arrived in his full kaiju form and landed a devastating punch on the monster. The impact of Kafka’s attack shook the battlefield.

At the end of the chapter, Narumi acknowledged Kafka’s arrival and entrusted him with the fight.
