Predator: Killer of Killers plot explored: What is the animated movie all about?

Predator: Killer of Killers is a three-part animated anthology that will see the Yakutia warriors hunt human prey across various historical periods and cultures. The featured time periods include the Viking era, feudal Japan, and World War II.

The synopsis introduces three main characters — warriors who will face the ultimate challenge of being hunted by the alien predator:

"The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause."

The three heroes must confront their fiercest opponents yet, as described in the synopsis:

"But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent—the ultimate killer of killers."

While the anthology’s three stories are set in distinct timelines and locations, they are connected by one common foe — the predator.

Trachtenberg teased the narrative of Killer of Killers in an interview with Collider, describing the film as "very much about the connection between the characters as much as the stories themselves."
