Kaiju No 8 dropped in 2024, and the anime was a masterpiece. And now, the audience is eagerly waiting for the second season to drop, which is going to drop in 2025 itself, most probably. The first season of the show consisted of 12 episodes, and we are expecting to see something similar in the upcoming season.
In the first season, we got to see multiple arcs in action, like the Monster Sweeper Arc, Defence Force Recruitment Exam Arc, Defence Force Training Arc, Daikaiju Attack Arc, and Kafka's Integration Arc. Now, it's time for the second season, and here we are with the list of arcs that you will possibly get to see in Season 2. But before that, let's have a look at a recap of Kaiju No 8 Season 1.
Kaiju No 8: Story so far
In the first season of Kaiju No 8, we got to see Kafka Hibino as a clean-up worker with all hopes lost of joining the defence forces. However, his encounter with a young lad named Reno ignites the fire again. And then the story moves forward with Kafka becoming a Kaiju and adopting the code name Kaiju No 8. He then joins the Defence Force along with Kikoru and Reno. His goal in the first season was to hide his identity and focus on eradicating all the threats that came in the way of the Defense Force. However, the cover is blown when he goes on to save the Tachikawa base from a disaster.
Kaiju No 8 Season 2 expectations and arcs
In Kaiju No 8 season 2, we may get to see the Kaiju Weapon Arc and the Compatible User Arc. The Kaiju Weapon Arc deals with the deployment of weapons made from the remains of the Kaijus in a battle. Moreover, this arc also focuses on the internal conflicts in the Defence Force, leading to a lot of chaos. Next in the line is the Compatible User Arc, where we will get to see the characters testing their compatibility with the weapons made in the previous arc. All in all, the next season is going to be a little mature and solid than the previous one for sure.
