Kaiju No. 8 episode 6 recap

Expand Tweet

Kaiju No. 8 episode 6 began with a focus on Mina briefing her officers on the upcoming neutralization operation. This transitioned into a focus on the recruits heading to the battlefield, which led to them being heavily put over by the various Third Division officers. The mission was then explained, with Mina handling the larger Honju while the recruits handled the smaller Yoju. The mission began shortly thereafter, with Kafka Hibino initially unable to contribute.

However, he eventually realized he can use his monster cleanup work experience to his benefit here, analyzing the Yoju corpses. He discovered the best way to attack the Yoju’s core, as well as the fact that they have reproductive organs which could spawn more Yoju after death. Hoshina commended Kafka for this, who then went to study additional corpses in case he was missing anything else. At the same time, Mina began attacking the Honju in spectacular fashion.

Hoshina then met up with Kafka, explaining that this is Mina’s power which he’ll need to match to stand beside her. As Hoshina explained he does that in a different way, a Yoju appeared behind him, which he instantly sliced up with ease. He revealed he comes from a long line of ancient Kaiju slayers, hence his sword skills. The episode ended with a focus on Reno Ichikawa and Iharu Furuhashi, who ran into the talking humanoid Kaiju from prior episodes.

Kaiju No. 8 episode 7 what to expect (speculative)

Kaiju No. 8 episode 7 is titled Kaiju no. 9 and its preview trailer was released on May 24, 2024. As seen in the previous episode, the Kaiju that can talk has reappeared on the battlefield where Kafka and his teammates were taking care of some other Kaiju.

According to the preview trailer, the next episode could see Ichikawa and Furuhashi fighting the talking Kaiju. Moreover, the next episode would also reveal the name of the talking Kaiju, as indicated by the title of the episode. With the talking Kaiju again on the loose, will Kafta again risk transforming into his Kaiju form or could he refrain from doing it again?
