It roars to intimidate Hoshina, but he remains unfazed and inquires about Kaiju No. 9.No. 10 reveals that No. 9 is its creator, but additional details come with a condition: Hoshina must set it free and fight alongside it. When Hoshina points out that its core is too damaged for that, No. 10 proposes an unprecedented solution. It asks to be turned into a Kaiju Weapon for Hoshina to wield.Okinogi warns of the risks, noting that No. 10 is an intelligent Kaiju and that weapons have never been made from such monsters. However, after careful consideration, Hoshina accepts the gamble, thinking this may give him an advantage against No. 9.Kaiju No. 8 season 2 episode 6 gives a glimpse into Kaiju No. 9 (Image via Production I.G)Kaiju No. 8 season 2 episode 6 shifts to the First Division, where Kikoru and Kafka learn of Hoshina’s visit regarding No. 9. Tensions flare when Narumi encounters Hoshina, unaware of his official purpose. Thankfully, Vice-Captain Hasegawa intervenes to mediate. At the conference, all division captains, including new faces such as Second Division Captain Jura Igarashi and Fourth Division Captain Juugo Ogata, gather with HQ members, including the new Chief, Keiji Itami.Hoshina shares what he learned from No. 10. The looming threat of No. 9 is too massive for a single division to handle. No. 9 can produce Kaiju with extremely high fortitude, and the prototype No. 10 was only the beginning. Facing the finished Kaiju would be far more dangerous, as the Defense Force can handle only five at a time, fewer if their fortitude exceeds 9.The only viable strategy is for all divisions to unite. Meanwhile, Kaiju No. 8 season 2 episode 6 provides a glimpse of No. 9 creating numerous Kaiju, confirming Hoshina’s fears.Kaiju No. 8 season 2 episode 6: Reno’s trial to wield No. 6’s Numbers Weapon beginsKaiju No. 8 season 2 episode 6 delves into discussions about whether No. 10 has been truthful. Given the recent spike in Kaiju aptitude and the appearance of new Kaiju species, Hoshina believes it’s likely accurate. Much about Kaiju origins remains unknown, though there are speculations that tectonic energy and geological distortions could contribute to their creation.Hoshina theorizes that No. 9 is manipulating this process to produce its own Kaiju. No. 9’s ability to shift forms and relocate makes pinpointing its base nearly impossible. Because creating Kaiju requires high energy, Hoshina concludes its lair is likely deep within the ocean, where the Philippine and Eurasian plates meet.Reno as he tries on No. 6's suit (Image via Production I.G)Adding to the threat, in Kaiju No. 8 season 2 episode 6, Mina reveals that No. 9 can access the memories of absorbed humans, so by consuming Isao, it now possesses comprehensive knowledge of the entire Defense Force. To counter this, Hoshina proposes creating surprise factors by leveraging new recruits with potential. One such recruit, Reno Ichikawa, shows signs of syncing with the most powerful and dangerous Numbers weapon, No. 6.Juugo initially worries about training Reno, as No. 6, the King of Kaiju, had a fortitude of 9.6 and requires immense strength to wield. Hikari Shinomiya and previous sacrifices had only managed to neutralize it with great effort. Juugo explains the risks of Numbers Weapons to Reno. While they grant humans enough power to combat Daikaiju, they exert extreme strain on the user’s body.Most wielders die before even leaving the force, and No. 6 is the deadliest of all. Though Juugo advises Reno to decline, Kaiju No. 8 season 2 episode 6 sees the young recruit draw inspiration from Kafka’s determination and resolve to give his all.Reno, as he feels the pressure of Kaiju No. 6's suit (Image via Production I.G)Reno begins testing his compatibility with No. 6, but even using only the arm’s gear proves overwhelming.

Despite the dangers, Reno remains determined to master No. 6’s weapon.His resolve reminds Juura of Hikari. He realizes he cannot sway Reno, so Juura sets a one-month trial period for him.
