Kaiju No. 8 Hypes Season 2 and Its New Star Captain

The opening scene of the latest trailer shows Mina surveying a damaged environment while Reno and Iharu discuss Kafka. They confidently believe that Kafka will rise from the dead, which aligns with the end of Season 1, where Kafka was recuperating after his battle wounds against Isao and was under the care of the Defense Force following the delay in his execution. This is symbolized by Kafka stirring in a small crib.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement as the trailer for Kaiju No. 8’s second season unfolds! The spotlight then shifts to none other than Gen Narumi, nicknamed “Japan’s Strongest Anti-Kaiju Combatant,” but don’t let that title fool you. Contrary to expectations, we find him holed up in his room, pulling an all-nighter on his video games!

In the teaser, it’s clear that this season will see Kafka joining the First Division under Narumi’s command. And for those of us who can’t get enough of these quirky characters, we’re in for a treat as both Narumi and Kafka’s unique personalities are on full display.

From the look of it, Gen Narumi is set to become the star of Season 2, much like Hoshina was in the first season. And I must say, I’m relieved that the creators have done justice to his character design!
