Recap of Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 115
Chapter 115 begins with Mina Ashiro facing the Meireki Era Mega Monster’s attack, where Director General Keiji Itami advises her to retreat as Kafka Hibino shows no vital signs. Inside the monster’s consciousness, No. 9 taunts Mina, asserting that escape from its power is impossible. However, Mina’s calm demeanor surprises No. 9 as she reflects on Hoshina’s unwavering support.
As Mina struggles, Hoshina arrives, unleashing his Sixth Form Strate Strike to momentarily halt the monster. Despite his efforts, the creature regenerates, forcing Hoshina to dodge its next attack with Mina providing cover fire.
Hoshina calls for heavy weaponry as the operation escalates, but he’s caught off guard when the monster phases through his attack, preparing a lethal counterstrike. The chapter concludes with Gen Narumi arriving just in time to activate No. 1’s powers, setting the stage for the imminent clash.
