After the shocker of the first season, Kaiju No.8 is backing up again with the highly anticipated season 2 next year. Season 2 of Kaiju No.8 was confirmed to be premier in 2025 and will continue the tale of Kafka Hibino, who has to prove to everyone that he is more human than a kaiju.
In the finale, Kafka Hibino lost control and let full-fledged kaiju come out against Isao Shinomiya, the Director General of the Defence Force. Just as it seemed, Kafka’s dream of becoming a Defense Force officer and standing beside Mina Ashiro was over — he regained his consciousness and pulled out his heart, giving Isao Shinomiya a chance to end him. This shows he is human and not a kaiju and the director is forced to give him a chance to live.
Kaiju No.8 delves into the story of Kafka Hibino, who wishes to join the Defence Force and stand beside his childhood friend, Mina Ashiro. His dream becomes a reality after he passes the Defence Force exam. However, little did he know that his dream could become a nightmare when he swallowed a kaiju. This is how the Kaiju No.8 come into existence.
Kaiju No.8 Season 2 Expected Release Date
As confirmed by AnimeTV, Kaij No.8 season 2 is promised to premiere in 2025. And will continue the tale of Kaiju No.8, Kafka Hibino, fighting with his inner demons to save humanity from the kaiju attacks. However, the exact release date has not been officially confirmed, as per the previous releases, Season 2 might air during spring. But for now, fans are happy with the premier windows, which is 2025.
The anime production company Production I.G, responsible for Kaiju No.8, is known for working on selected projects, and the last they worked for Terminator Zero. Given it, Kaiju No.8 season 2 will likely air soon. On the other hand, the anticipated sequel may come away before the fan expectations, given production I.G’s less hectic schedule for 2024.
Therefore, the release window of Kaiju No.8 season 2 could be in early 2025 or late in the Spring if one were to base their timeline on the Production I.G schedule. It will be shocking if Kaiju No. 8 comes before March 2025, given the gap between the finale of season one, which came out in June 2024.
Also, The Second Wave Arc is one of the most important arcs of the series, probably more important than the Kaiju No. 8 Captured arc. In this arc, Kafka Hibino shows his strength against the elite force created by Kaiju No. 9. Therefore, Production I.G will take their time to plan for the release date of the second season of Kaiju No.8.
What To Expect From The Upcoming Season Of Kaiju No.8
The Kaiju Weapon Arc will be the next story to be adapted, according to the brief teaser trailer of Kaiju No.8 season two. Kaiju’s No.9 plan will revealed in the sequel, where he will bring elite forces of kaiju to take on humanity. He may try to capture Kaiju No.8 as he wants to use it later for his plan.
According to many manga readers, The Second Wave Arc is the most brutal in Kaiju No.8. Moreover, this arc has everything to surpass every arc in the series. If this is true, Kaiju No.8 will be the next Attack On Titan and will break the internet.
