• Anime “Kaiju No. 8” Kafka and his friends take on their first mission! “Sagamihara Subjugation Operation Edition” trailer released

The “Sagamihara subjugation operation'' begins this time, and a special trailer has been released for the anime “Kaiju No. 8''. In episode 6, Kafka and his friends begin their first mission while evacuation efforts are underway due to the outbreak of a monster in Sagamihara.

Viewers watched the battle of the defense personnel, which began even before the operation began, including evacuation of civilians, checking the situation, and planning strategies, with comments such as, “This is a great movie to watch,'' “The music makes my heart pound,'' and “I can't hear the conversations of ordinary people anymore.'' I think there's a monster out there.'' While Kafka is already drawn in, it seems like he's about to throw up after eating too much. The gap between the tension and the sense of urgency caused some viewers to burst out laughing, saying, “Open the window! What are you doing, old man!'' that made me laugh lol, and “Kafka, are you so nervous that you want to throw up!?''

The first mission of Kafka and the new members is to subjugate the remaining beasts at the rear of the unit. The wording may be plain, but it is an important mission that is the last line of defense for citizens' lives. The soldiers prepare for the mission with enthusiasm.

Kafka is worried about the situation where he will be fired if he doesn't perform well within three months, but he can't hide his excitement about his dream job, but he seems to be having a hard time bringing out the suit's full potential. However, when he struggles with his experience in the monster dismantling business, as he did during the exam, he contributes to the defense forces by dismantling leftover beasts and providing outstanding assistance in understanding nuclear and breeding engine data.

Meanwhile, Abyaku Mina, who Kafka is standing next to, subdues the monster with overwhelming power. “Overkill is not on the level!'' “No, the firepower is amazing!?!?'' Amidst the exclamations, Kafka turned to look at Kafka and called him “Kafka-kun.'' !!!” and “Captain Ahaku is so excited (lol)”.

It was thought that once the main beast was subdued and the remaining beasts were subdued, Kafka and his friends would complete their first mission without incident…but then, in front of Reno Ichikawa and Iharu Furuhashi, who were on their mission, Kaiju No. 9 appeared. Takamichi Hotaka, disguised as a human…!

The ending foreshadows further turmoil, with comments like, “It ended in a good place, I'm curious about what happens next!'' “That's too bad… Reno and Iharu…'' ““Nanika Shittemasu?'' Kyoi! ” There were many happy screams from the viewers! Also, after the broadcast, Mina Ashiro's exclusive weapon visual will be released. This was also well received.
