As of the publication of this article, the anime adaptation of Kaiju No. 8 has aired 9 episodes and follows Kafka Hibino’s journey as he joins the Defense. However, he must conceal his true identity as the feared ‘Kaiju No. 8’.

Upon joining the Defense Force, Kafka is immediately confronted by a talking Kaiju known as ‘Kaiju No. 9.’ The other recruits are no match for this formidable creature, forcing Kafka to transform into Kaiju No. 8 to engage in battle. After successfully defeating the Kaiju, Kafka encounters Hoshina, the Vice-Commander of the Third Division, who views Kafka as a threat. In order to protect his true identity, Kafka manages to escape from Hoshina’s grasp.

In episode 9 of the Kaiju No. 8 anime, a new and highly dangerous kaiju (Daikaiju) appeared, proving to be even more formidable than any before it. Hoshina struggled against the creature, leading to the question of whether Kafka will once again put his secret at risk in order to save his division’s vice-commander. Mark your calendars for June 15 to catch episode 10 of Kaiju No. 8.
