The second season of Kaiju No. 8 premiered with a powerful episode that sets a new course for the characters after the battle at Tachikawa Barracks. Titled Kaiju Weapon , the episode adapts chapters 39 and 40 of Naoya Matsumoto 's manga . Initially, we see Kafka in a nightmare that causes him to relive the attack that changed his life, but he awakens, still in confinement, awaiting his fate.

Meanwhile, Mina Ashiro surveys the wreckage left by Kaiju No. 10. The Defense Forces have yet to decide what to do with Kafka, though they have opted to keep him alive. Thus, the recruits are reassigned. Reno and Iharu are sent to the Fourth Division. Kikoru Shinomiya is assigned to the First Division, under the command of Gen. Narumi.
Gen. Narumi debuts in real combat
Upon meeting Captain Narumi, Kikoru finds him playing a video game. Despite her initial impression, she soon realizes his capabilities when she sees him lead an offensive against a new Kaiju with precision and force. Narumi defeats the enemy with a single blow and states that he only expects "absolute power" from her. Kikoru, of course, accepts the challenge.
Later, Kafka is summoned to Isao Shinomiya's office. There, he learns of his new assignment: he will also be part of the First Division. The proposal is bold—to unite the most powerful Kaiju with Japan's strongest anti-kaiju force. Kafka accepts, even though he knows he's being used. Narumi, for his part, remains skeptical.
Kaiju Episode 8 Sets New Stage for the Anime
The tension between Kafka and Narumi is palpable, yet necessary. After all, the Kaiju are evolving, and humanity must react. The post-credits scene shows a massive earthquake, foreshadowing a new, imminent threat.
I confess that the premiere excited me for the start of the second season. The episode delivers action, development, and emotion. Most importantly, it sets the stage for important developments—both in power and character. Narumi's development is a highlight: comical, unpredictable, yet deadly effective. Kikoru and Kafka will have a lot to deal with.
