Kaiju No. 8 episode 10 recap

Expand Tweet

Kaiju No. 8 episode 10 began with Kafka’s Kaiju powers alerting him that something was wrong with Hoshina, running over to the area likewise.

Hoshina, meanwhile, was struggling to fight the Daikaiju and began having flashbacks to people like his father and former commanding officer telling him to abandon his Defense Force dreams. It was explained that they said so due to Hoshina having no talent with firearms whatsoever.

In the present, Hoshina continued to try and fight the Daikaiju but was brushed aside every time. He eventually overheated and was forced to abandon his maximum release, allowing the Daikaiju to land a devastating hit on him.

That prompted another flashback which revealed Mina as the first person to tell him he can be in the Defense Force. The Daikaiju then scooped him up as Kafka arrived, preparing to transform to save Hoshina’s life.

However, at that moment, Mina Ashiro returned and began firing on the Daikaiju. This prompted Hoshina and Kikoru Shinomiya, who had just arrived at the Daikaiju fight, to immobilize it and set Mina up for the fatal blow.

After defeating the Daikaiju, though, the wyvern-type yoju formed into a bomb that threatened to destroy the Tachikawa base. The episode ended with Kafka transforming and saving everyone, but being taken into custody by Mina and co after.

What to expect from Kaiju No. 8 episode 11 (speculative)?

Kaiju no. 8 episode 11 is titled Captured Kaiju No. 8. After Kafka revealed his kaiju form in the previous episode, his friends captured him and fulfilled their duty, even though he saved their lives. So, the next episode would pick up from where it left in the previous episode.

As showcased in the preview trailer, Kafka could accompany the Director General of the Defense Force, Isao Shinomiya, for an interrogation. Although the preview trailer didn't showcase any action, there could be some resistance from Kafka as the director could announce his execution as a potential danger to humanity. What fate awaits our protagonist now that the cat is out of the bag?
