• Episode 3 of the anime “Kaiju No. 8” has many viewers sympathizing with Kafka’s lament about his “decline in his 30s”!? The final production also received a great response.

In the third episode, viewers were excited by the scene in which Kafka is motivated to “stand alongside Mina” and the defense suit's liberation power increases slightly in response.

In episode 4, Reno Ichikawa rode on his shoulders and showed his true potential as he made the viewers laugh with comments such as “Ichikawa-kun's follow-up ability is amazing…!!!!'' “This is our first time working together'' “Comedy time lol'' …! However, due to the performance of Kikoru, who also showed tremendous ability from the third episode, the final judging was over in the blink of an eye. In addition to the test takers, viewers were also overwhelmed with comments such as “Kikoru is so cool!!!'' and “Kikoru is really strong.''

Meanwhile, a mysterious monster surprises Kikoru, who is about to go see Kafka's barking mask! The mysterious monster not only thinks and manipulates words, but also attacks Kikoru from a distance. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the venue is thrown into chaos.

Kikoru, who is obsessed with “perfection” because of his memories with his father, tries to face the monster despite his injury, saying, “Someone has to stop it,” but he is in a big pinch. Kafka is in a desperate situation, but Kafka appears with the words, “You did a great job, my girlfriend!” “Leave the rest to me!'' Without hesitation, he transformed into a monster, “Isn't Kafka's appearance so cool?'' “Cool! I love this place!'' “Mr. Kafka transforms into himself.'' The sacrifice development is great…'' and received a great response from viewers.

On the other hand, there is also a scene in which Kikoru prostrates himself immediately after showing his cool appearance, and asks Kikoru to keep it a secret, saying, “Dogeza monster'', “Grass!'', “I'm begging you, stop it lol. It ruins the cool scene from earlier. ” This also seems to have been a big hit in a sense (?).

The transformed Kafka crushes the monster with maximum power! Since Kikoru was safe and he kept her promise, the matter was settled for now. However, Mina Abyaku and Soshiro Hoshina seem to have doubts about the strange battle marks. Furthermore, the mysterious monster (cast name: Kaiju No. 9, voice actor: Hiroyuki Yoshino) was not only unharmed, but also capable of mimicking humans…!?

Scenes that look like those from a horror movie include things like, “They're mixed in with people…it's scary'' “This passage was scary even when I read it in the manga'' “Oh my God!! Monsters disguised as humans are mixed in there'' !!?” The ending left the viewers in shock. Additionally, additional cast information is revealed in this episode. Hiroyuki Yoshino, who will play Kaiju No. 9, and Tomokazu Sugita, who will play Takamichi Hotaka, have been revealed, and these have also become a hot topic.
