What to Expect From Kaiju No. 8 Season 2?
In the first season, the higher-ups at the Defense Force confronted Kafka for having such devilish powers. Director General Isao Shinomiya beats Kafka to test his humanity, and as expected, Kafka embraces his humanity by not killing Isao Shinomiya.
At the same time, Kaiju No. 9 acknowledges Kafka’s incredible power and decides to grow stronger. So, it’s likely that the second season will put more focus on Kafka’s conflict with Kaiju No. 9. Moreover, Kafka will work closely with the Defense Force, but this time, he won’t have to hide his Kaiju powers. Instead, we will see Kafka taking on the Kaiju threat along with his allies.
It’s confirmed that Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 will pick up from the Kaiju Weapon Arc. We all remember seeing Isao Shinomiya using a power suit and weapon made from a Kaiju’s remains. This particular arc will shed light on more such weapons.
Also, season 2 will cover events from the Compatible User Arc. In this arc, the people at the Defense Force, particularly Kafka and his allies, will test the strength of Kaiju weapons. This will be a crucial arc in Season 2 as it will show our beloved characters substantially growing in power.
After these two arcs, we will also see the anime series adapting the events from the Cataclysms Arc and Second Wave Arc.
