• What is the next trailer for the anime “Kaiju No. 8” “Nekketsu”? Kafka looks back on past events, episode 3 “Revenge Match” preview video released
• The highlight of the second episode of the anime “Kaiju No. 8” is the great friendship between Kafka and Reno!When Kikoru Shinomiya (voiced by Fairuz Ai) first appeared, some said, “He really seems like someone inside.”

The third episode started with Kikoru Shinomiya’s wild “vehicle movement” from the last episode of the previous episode. When Kafka moves the vehicle on his own, Kikoru becomes curious. …And Reno is furious at the danger of his true identity being revealed! Viewers also voiced their sympathy for Reno, saying, “Reno-kun is turning into a guardian lol” and “Ichikawa is handling the role from being a talented junior to being a guardian!”

The second test for defense personnel selection is a physical fitness test. Kafka is enthusiastic about the content, which allows him to score points regardless of his qualifications, but the results don’t seem to be good. When Kafka felt the decline of his age (in his 30s), some viewers could be seen empathizing with him by saying, “The decline of people in their 30s…it’s getting worse and worse” and “The decline of people in their 30s…I get it…” .

Kafka is depressed because things aren’t going well, and he is getting impatient because he can’t demonstrate the abilities of his Defense Force suit even in the “monster subjugation” test. However, when he hears that Abyaku Mina is watching, he gets excited! Using his experience in the monster corpse disposal business, he works hard to support other examinees.

When he is ambushed by a monster, he is advised to retire due to his injuries, but when he shows an attitude of not giving up in order to follow his dreams and stand on par with Mina, the power to release the defense suit increases slightly. It was a finale that raised the expectations of viewers, with comments such as “From 0 to 0.01 is a progress comparable to the universe”, “Aniori production that goes up to 0.01%?!! So cool!!”, “Wow, Kafka ended at a good point, and he is really handsome”. Ta.
