A brief recap of chapter 97
In Kaiju No. 8 chapter 97, the story starts with Kaiju No. 9 preparing to attack a frightened Mina Ashiro. The Defense Force members quickly become aware of No. 9's presence and rush to her aid. Meanwhile, Kafka reflects on his past with Mina and the events involving Isao Shinomiya, vowing to protect her from a similar fate.
However, No. 9 informs Kafka that he is not permitted in the area, causing numerous new Kaiju to suddenly appear throughout Tokyo. These Kaiju, known as the Third Wave, possess high resilience ratings of 8.0, making them powerful Mega Monsters. The Defense Force soldiers feel overwhelmed and hopeless, realizing they lack the necessary strength, stamina, equipment, and numbers to confront such a large number of Mega Monsters.
What to expect (speculative)
While reminiscing about his childhood with Mina, Kafka passionately yells at the imposing Kaiju, desperately urging them to clear a path so he can reach Mina's side. In a cruel twist, the Kaiju retaliate by unleashing a devastating onslaught, attacking not only Kafka but also wreaking havoc throughout Tokyo. As the chapter draws to a close, Tokyo is engulfed in a series of deafening explosions, marking what appears to be the ominous beginning of the end for both the Defense Force and Mina Ashiro.
With No. 9 rapidly approaching Mina and her allies unable to provide assistance, it is highly possible that Mina may meet her demise or, at the very least, be captured by No. 9 in chapter 98 of Kaiju No. 8. Despite her likely attempt to resist and gain more time for herself and her comrades, the circumstances make it almost certain that her efforts will be in vain.
In the upcoming Kaiju No. 8 chapter 98, Mina will be briefly mentioned before shifting the focus to Kafka. He will be depicted in a state of anger as he battles through the new Kaiju, desperately rushing to Mina with the belief that he made it in time. However, the scene will depict his arrival just as No. 9 takes Mina away, setting the stage for the subsequent release that will reveal the outcome of her fight with the monster.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 98. The previous chapter left us with a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm especially interested in seeing how Mina Ashiro escapes from Kaiju No. 9 and how the Defense Force deals with the new Kaiju threat.
I think it's really cool that the Kaiju No. 8 series is available on official sources like Viz Media's official website, Shueisha's MANGAPlus website, and Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ app. This makes it easy for fans to read the series legally and support the creators. I'm also glad that the series is available in multiple languages, so fans from all over the world can enjoy it.
