Kaiju No. 8 - Episode Guide

Japan is threatened by monsters on a daily basis. Kafka Hibino, who was aiming to join the "Japan Defense Corps" to defeat monsters, gave up his dream and worked in a cleaning business specializing in monsters. In the midst of his days of feeling anxious about his childhood friend Mina Ashira, who is active as the captain of the 3rd unit of the Defense Corps, and the promise to fight monsters together, Kafka meets Reno Ichikawa, a junior who aspires to be a member of the Defense Forces.

Kafka, who was parasitized by a mysterious small monster and transformed into a monster himself, escaped from the hospital with Reno, fearing that he would be defeated by the defense forces. At that time, he discovers a father and son being attacked by a monster. Kafka, who confronts the monster without regard for danger, wields his fists with all his might.

Kafka arrives for one last shot at the Defense Force entry exam... but can he pass while keeping his Kaiju powers a secret?

Kafka, who was shown the difference in ability early in the exam, stood up again with the help of Leno, but due to Kikor's performance, the final examination ended in the blink of an eye. The examinees were only overwhelmed by Kikor's tremendous combat power. Meanwhile, a mysterious monster suddenly appears in the exam hall. Unforeseen circumstances plunge the venue into chaos.

Kafka is now a member of the Defense Force, if not a full-fledged one. But Hoshina tells him he has three months to prove himself before he's fired...

A monster has broken out in Sagamihara! The rookies are tasked with their first mission to kill the remaining beasts in the rear of the unit. Kafka, who was sentenced to be fired if he did not show success within three months, could not hide his excitement at his dream job. Leno is inspired by Kafka and is overwhelmed. And finally the operation began!

A mysterious humanoid monster that suddenly appeared mercilessly attacks Reno and Iharu. While protecting the mortally wounded Iharu, Reno bravely confronts him. Relying on information from Kikoru, who had met the same monster during the selection exam, Reno barely manages to bite him, but is gradually cornered.

In order to save Reno and the others from a mysterious humanoid monster, Kafka transforms into Kaiju No. 8. Just when he was able to defeat the humanoid monster, he decided to face Hoshina, who was chasing Kaiju No. 8! While struggling against Hoshina's onslaught, Kafka hesitates to fight back, fearing that he will fight back and hurt him. Kafka narrowly escapes, but Hoshina feels uncomfortable with the battle.
