Kaiju No. 8: Episode 2 Recap

The second episode of Kaiju No. 8 opened with a quick flashback that provided more insight into Kafka and Mina’s dynamic. As the episode progressed, Kafka and Ichikawa attempted to resolve the chaos at the hospital, but Kafka’s recently acquired powers only exacerbated the situation. Meanwhile, the Defense Force had already been alerted and Mina’s Third Division was en route. The two of them left the scene, with some humorous moments showcasing Kafka’s unfamiliarity with his Kaiju body as they hurried away.

Despite the appearance of another Kaiju, Mina decided to break away from her main forces and investigate, accompanied by Kafka and Ichikawa. However, Kafka and Ichikawa were the first to reach the area and Kafka bravely rescued a young girl and her mother from the Kaiju. The initially frightened girl eventually found the courage to thank Kafka, which reinvigorated his desire to join the Defense Force. Mina arrived soon after and was surprised to learn about a “good Kaiju”who had helped the young girl and her mother.

Three months had passed and Kafka had now been given the nickname Kaiju No. 8. He had also become the first Kaiju to successfully break free from the Defense Force. In addition, both Kafka and Ichikawa received news that they had passed the first round of entrance exams and would move on to the next stage. As they arrived at their next destination, they were greeted by several unfamiliar characters who would later be formally introduced. The episode concluded with the arrival of Kikoru Shinomiya, who immediately noticed Kafka’s distinct Kaiju scent.

Kaiju No. 8 Episode 3: Speculations and Expectations

Despite the Defense Force exams currently taking place, it is expected that Kaiju No. 8 episode 3 will cover the entire second round of the exams at its current pace. While it is possible that this arc may not reach a complete resolution, viewers can expect it to at least reach the conclusion of the entrance exams mini-arc.

In addition to Ichikawa and Kafka, Episode 3 is expected to introduce some allies, with Kikoru Shinomiya being the likely first choice due to her significant role in the previous episode. Furthermore, viewers can anticipate learning more about Kikoru, particularly her impressive strength and possession of a Defense Force suit, as well as Ichikawa’s comment about her surname sounding familiar.
