Kaiju No. 8 episode 8 recap

Expand Tweet

Kaiju No. 8 episode 8 began with Hoshina dominating Kafka to the point where he was focused solely on defense. While this was also due to Kafka not wanting to hurt Hoshina, it quickly became apparent that he was outmatched either way. Likewise, Hoshina quickly exposed the core, but was tricked into going for it a second time. This set up Kafka’s escape, where he quickly reunited with Kikoru Shinomiya.

Hoshina, meanwhile, discussed No. 8’s strength with Mina Ashiro shortly thereafter. The two were then notified that the talking humanoid Kaiju Ichikawa and Furuhashi encountered was in the guise of a human when they found it. The Kaiju was then shown to have eaten another person and taken their form as well, as it was officially dubbed No. 9. The episode then saw Ichikawa wake up in the hospital, where Furuhashi almost discovered Kafka’s identity as No. 8.

Furuhashi and Ichikawa were then discharged from the hospital, where the trainees threw a party celebrating their first successful mission. Hoshina revealed at this party that Kafka had been officially promoted to officer following his performance in the latest mission. Kafka then had a brief meeting with Mina, where she confirmed she remembers his promise. The episode ended with yet another talking humanoid Kaiju preparing to launch a massive attack.

What to expect from Kaiju No. 8 episode 9 (speculative)

Kaiju no. 8 episode 9 is titled Attack on Tachikawa Base. The preview trailer for the next episode focused on the new talking Kaiju that appeared at the end of the previous episode. The new talking Kaiju made a grand entrance as it was accompanied by a hoard of other Kaijus that were also not weak.

The preview trailer also showcased Kikuru and the other officers fighting off Kaijus with great ease, but with the appearance of a Kaiju of such a grand level, will they be of some match against it? Moreover, the preview trailer also showcased Hoshina with some new powers, so it would be interesting to see how the episode progresses.
