Kaiju No. 8 Episode 8 Recap

The eighth episode of Kaiju No. 8 opened with Hoshina overpowering Kafka, causing him to solely focus on defending himself. Although Kafka was also hesitant to harm Hoshina, it soon became evident that he was no match for him. Furthermore, Hoshina was able to uncover the core quickly, but was deceived into attempting to attack it again. This led to Kafka’s escape, as he swiftly reunited with Kikoru Shinomiya.

After discussing No. 8’s strength with Mina Ashiro, Hoshina learned from her that the talking humanoid Kaiju encountered by Ichikawa and Furuhashi was actually disguised as a human. They discovered that the Kaiju had consumed another person and assumed their form, earning the designation No. 9. In the hospital, Ichikawa woke up and almost revealed Kafka’s true identity as No. 8 to Furuhashi.

After being released from the hospital, Furuhashi and Ichikawa were greeted with a party by their fellow trainees to commemorate their triumph in their initial mission. During the festivities, Hoshina announced that Kafka had been promoted to officer due to his exceptional performance in their previous mission. Following this, Kafka met with Mina for a short conversation, during which she reaffirmed her recollection of his promise. The episode concluded with a new humanoid Kaiju preparing to launch a devastating assault.

Kaiju No. 8 Episode 9: What to Expect (Speculative)

The appearance of another talking humanoid Kaiju in Kaiju No. 8 episode 9 raises the question of their relationship with No. 9, if any. This aspect should be established first, providing fans with insight into the long-term direction of the series. It remains to be seen if there will be multiple intelligent Kaiju factions battling against each other and mankind.

In addition, Episode 9 should uncover the intentions and objectives of this recently introduced humanoid Kaiju who can communicate, as well as its control over a seemingly formidable aerial army. In the same manner, Kafka may find himself confronting this new Kaiju if the opportunity presents itself, as he is clearly burdened with guilt for his failure to eliminate No. 9.
