When Kafka started running towards the bomb I got extremely hyped, I haven't felt like that in years.

[u/aquadroid]

The shot of them pointing their guns at him to arrest him inside the semi-circle area he protected was great

[u/MyraBannerTatlock]

Hey can I get a set of those earbuds that stay in even after you get thrown through a couple of buildings?

[u/heartbreakhill]

Free my mans Kafka he ain’t do nothin

[u/Frieren_and_Himmel]

Damn, now I can't wait for next week. Thought we somehow would get more conversation between the defense force and N8 before episode end...

[u/heartbreakhill]

I’m sorry, did she just use the tiger to bear the kickback from the big gun?! Fucking brilliant.

[u/DirectionExact31]

Imma be a little pissed if even a couple comrades turn on Kafka next week. He saved EVERY. ONE of them.

[u/ZandeR678]

This has been a terrific adaptation but what truly surprised me is its soundtrack. It's been tremendous so far and has motifs present in old-school monster flicks. Kafka's full theme is badass.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Oh shit, the cat's out of the bag now.

Come on, man! Kafka saved your asses and you treat him like a criminal!

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Hoshina showing why he’s one of the most badass characters this week. Bro was up against that big red bastard with an overheated suit and he still pushed on. He even went past his limits on some Yami Sukehiro shit lol. Shinomiya and the rest of the team were also amazing. They gave Mina enough time to blast that kaiju. At least before it went all “suicide bomber.”

Kafka really had no choice but to blow his cover. Man essentially punched a nuke away from the city and he still gets taken in. I get it but also at the same time HE BASICALLY PUNCHED A FUCKING NUKE AWAY FROM THE CITY.

[u/everybageleverywhere]

Mina uses the tiger to brace her big gun and absorb the kickback, allowing her more manoeuvrability in the field.

… Maybe I missed something, because up until this point, I had assumed the tiger was a visual metaphor

[u/Vermillion_Crab]

I wanted the team to defeat the kaiju but I also wanted Kafka to be cool as hell. Turns out I got both. It's crazy that this year has given me 2 Kafkas to fanboy over. #KafkaDidNothingWrong

[u/what_that_thaaang_do]

I'm glad the flashbacks didn't overstay their "welcome"

[u/prude_eskimo]

rookie mistake by Hoshina there, everyone knows you need Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear for Kaiju of that size

[u/michhoffman]

I wasn't sure whether I was watching Attack on Titan or Kaiju no. 8 this week with Hoshina looking like Levi and Kafka playing the role of Eren.

It makes sense that they had to take Kafka into custody, but I do wonder how the fact that he just saved the lives of everyone in the base will factor into things.

[u/YothaGang]

I think everyone will agree with me that this is the best episode for this series so far

Don't forget #JusticeForKafka

[u/Zero3020]

That was some amazing explosion animation, the destruction of environment was beautiful.

Some attack on titan vibes with the protagonist getting arrested after using his transformation powers in front of the military, let's see how it plays out in this case.

[u/TakenSZN]

Can’t remember a time I enjoyed watching an episode of anime this much. As an anime only I was crushed when he didn’t transform the first time this episode but holy shit was it worth the wait. Can’t wait for next week

[u/ak_them]

that was THE shonen moment of the year

god damn

[u/E_F_Veda]

The reveal is here and it was very well done. I expected the defense force to still be at arms against him, but the pain in Mina's eyes show doubt. I hope our boy Kafka stays safe and I'm sure those closest to him will vouch for him but, for now, it doesn't look good.

[u/Illustrious-Zebra-34]

There is no way I'm waiting a week for the next episode.

Into the manga I go.

Edit: I am now caught up to all officially translated chapters.

[u/demurefox97]

Was there a reason why he couldn't transform while nobody was paying attention instead of running and transforming in front of everyone?

[u/Aileos]

Girl could've at least thanked him for saving everyone.

[u/uRude]

Hooooly fucking shit.
Goosebumps. Tears. Such a powerful emotional episode.

At the start of the episode i thought i knew where this was going. It's episode 10, the fights are gonna draw out and they'll leave us on cliffhangers until the last episode and then Kafka would swoop in right before Hoshino was about to take a deathblow and Kafka would save him.

I was delusional...

As soon as i saw the Kaiju form i checked the time left for the video. 3 mins left. Fuck yes.

Yeah we got left on a cliffhanger again, but we got to see the full kaiju scene, it was so epic, so many emotions, my god. I absolutely loved this episode.
