Kaiju No. 8: Episode 3 Recap

The third episode of Kaiju No. 8 started off by continuing to highlight the interactions between Kikoru and Kafka. During their conversation, Ichikawa mentioned that their work in Kaiju disposal was the reason for his Kaiju-like smell. Kikoru acknowledged this and left, while Ichikawa scolded Kafka for using his powers to move their car. As they got ready for the exams, Kafka appeared to be determined. However, during the first part of the exam, it was revealed that he was one of the least physically fit applicants.

Upon completion of the previous stage, the applicants proceeded to the next phase, during which they were outfitted with Defense Force Kaiju combat suits crafted from Kaiju muscle fibers. These suits enhanced their physical abilities and assessed their compatibility by measuring their unleashed combat power. Ichikawa’s combat power was 8%, Kikoru’s was 46%, and Kafka’s was 0%. The group then advanced to the next testing site, where it was disclosed that they would be tasked with eliminating Kaiju.

Despite Kikoru and the others quickly gaining recognition for their ability to kill Kaiju, Kafka and Ichikawa came to the realization that the exam was not solely about increasing one’s kill count. They chose to take on a supportive role, which proved to be highly effective. However, Kafka suffered serious injuries from a Kaiju and was advised by Hoshina to give up. Despite this, Kafka refused to quit and instead tapped into a 0.01% unleashed combat power, determined to continue fighting. The episode concluded with Kafka’s unwavering determination to persevere.

What to Expect in Kaiju No. 8 Episode 4 (Speculative)

As the Defense Force exam draws to a close, the latest motivational moment from Kafka in Kaiju No. 8 episode 4 will likely lead to its conclusion. Viewers can also anticipate finding out if Kafka has been accepted into the Defense Force by the end of the next episode, which marks the approximate one-third point of the first season.

Furthermore, in light of this important achievement, episode 4 must completely establish Kafka’s assigned squad and its members. It is probable that he will have either Ichikawa or Kikoru in his group, but it is unlikely for both to be included as one of them should serve as a means to introduce and develop the other characters introduced in episode 3.
