Kaiju has attacked! That is the familiar call that has made Kaiju No. 8 a global phenomenon since the very first episodes of the anime. This action anime not only conquered fans with its epic battles but also with the touching story of Kafka Hibino - a man in his 30s who still pursues his dream of joining the Defense Force.
After the resounding success of the first season, we are eagerly waiting for official information about Kaiju No. 8 Season 2. What new threats will Kafka face? When will Kaiju No. 9 really appear and cause a big earthquake? If you are a fan of action-sci-fi anime, then Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 is the movie that you cannot miss in 2025.
Kafka's transformation and position in the defense force
The first season ends with Kafka Hibino, who has struggled with his dual identity, finally receiving some recognition. However, his journey is far from over. Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 will delve into Kafka's struggle to balance being a dedicated member of the Defense Force while keeping his identity as Kaiju No. 8 a secret.
In season 2, we'll see Kafka face tougher tests and missions that will force him to use his Kaiju powers more deliberately. Those who know his secrets (like Director Mina Ashiro and Officer Kikoru Shinomiya) will play an important role in protecting and guiding him. Kafka's growth in power control and maturity is a key element that fans have been waiting for.
New episodes of Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 are scheduled to air weekly every Saturday, starting July 19, 2025 – marking the highly anticipated return of this hit series.
The Real Threat: Kaiju No. 9
If season 1 was a battle against regular Kaijus and the rise of Kaiju No. 9, then Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 will definitely take this confrontation to the next level. Kaiju No. 9 is not just a physical monster, but it is also an intelligent entity with unlimited absorption and evolution capabilities.
The plot of season 2 will revolve around Kaiju No. 9's cunning plot to cause chaos and disrupt the Defense Force's structure. Its actions will force the Defense Force to mobilize its full strength, including the deployment of specialized weapons taken from the Defeated Kaiju. The level of brutality and strategy in the battles is expected to be far beyond what we've seen before.

Not only focusing on Kafka, season 2 is also the time for characters like Mina, Reno, and Kikoru to shine. This is an opportunity for prominent characters from the manga to appear on screen, especially members of the other Defense Force Divisions.
Especially Mina – the symbol of strength and discipline – promises to have more roles, with eye-catching battles and deep emotions. Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 is therefore not just the journey of one person, but of an entire group confronting the fear called "Kaiju".
What makes Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 special is how it asks the question: “Who is the real monster?”
In a world where the line between humans and Kaiju is blurred, Kafka fights not only external enemies but also himself. His story of courage, sacrifice, and belief in oneself makes this series more relatable than ever – even if it’s set in a world full of giant monsters.
You can watch Kaiju No. 8 season 2 on Crunchyroll and Netflix. In Vietnam, the movie is also available on VieON for you to enjoy.
