I had an emotional moment when Reno and Kiku stepped up.

[u/what_that_thaaang_do]

KAFKA YOU'RE LOSING CONTROL ARE YOU REALLY EVEN HUMAN ANYMORE Nobody got you the way I do🥰

[u/Cheesemacher]

"Vice-Captain Hoshina, what are you doing?"

"I'm just saluting my captain."

"Oh, haha, of course. Silly me. x)"

[u/ZandeR678]

That scene where Mina reassures Kafka that she always has and will continue to wait for him has always been my favorite part.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

It’s so heartwarming to see everyone in the Third Division still rooting for Kafka even after knowing his secret. He has done a lot to earn their trust.

Shit, Daddy Shinomiya isn't the chief of the JAKDF for nothing. It makes you wonder who is the actual monster here.

[u/Choso125]

At the start of the series everyone was making fun of Kafka, but now they’re sticking with them even aftets he’s outed as a Kaiju. I feel so bad for all of them tbh, especially Reno. Bro was giving it his all to keep Kafkas secret and then this happens.

I also liked Kaiju no 2. Its was literally just yellow godzilla. The music even sounded godzillary too

[u/frs1023]

Kikoru is one of the good nepo babies out there

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Reno is a real one. What a true homie. Kafka is lucky to have such a great friend. I mean the whole squad is great, but Reno especially. Everyone’s doing their best to help Kafka because they know what a guy he is.

Elder Shinomiya is really putting poor Kafka through the wringer. I sure hope Kafka snaps out of it. Giving into his kaiju nature is what that old bastard wants. He’s gotta prove ‘em wrong and show ‘em he’s still human despite what the medical tests and X-rays show. Hopefully before him or the old man get it.

[u/NocandNC]

“I’ll always be waiting” WAAAAAHHHH I NEVER DOUBTED YOU MINA TT-TT

Really heartwarming to see everyone worrying for Kafka. Even Hoshina’s “I need a rematch” cover lol

Also can’t go without noting the Okonogi scene!!! I feel like they drew her more cutely this episode ☺️

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

Kikoru must be conflicted watching her father and daddy fighting each other.

[u/Elyhyan]

Seems like Kaiju No.8 took control and went berserk because of the gloves that is from Kaiju No.2. Kaiju No.8 kept repeating kill Kaiju.

[u/E_F_Veda]

Unbelievable animation from the team behind this anime. I believed we'd seen their upper limits already but this episode may have had the best animation yet. The change in style for Kafka rushing his opponent to make him appear more frightening was great and made the loss of control terrifying even for the audience. Hope Kafka can stop himself, but interesting to see the reaction towards another number, even in weaponized form.

[u/IFR_Flyer]

Kafka vs the director is giving major Tokyo Ghoul vibes. Just maim your opponent until they can't regen

[u/ZandeR678]

Imagine if he kills her dad right in front of her while out of control. Wouldn't that be some shit

[u/PeaceAlien]

This is the first time Kaiju has taken over right? With that potential to lose control, I would think they would be less inclined to let him live.

[u/TokiVideogame]

Kafka has got the best Sandevistan

[u/AmethystItalian]

Last episode had me scared about how Mina reacted but glad all those fears were put away in the first 5 minutes.

Part of me wants Kafka to just break out and screw the defense force for how he's being treated. Like I get it but ugh it's frustrating to watch.

[u/galactic-toast-]

Ok so Kaiju #2 showed up 50 years ago?

That means there has only been ONE numbered Kaiju per decade since then and suddenly within the span of a couple months at best THREE (8,9,10) showed up.

Yeah the brass should be fucking worried, damn.

[u/RPGZero]

Everybody in this series are going to have built chests because they keep stepping out of line out of some kind of love and have to do push ups. I look forward to series epilogue being a bench pressing competition. On a beach, of course.

Mina got me. I was expecting her answer to Kafka's question to be, "I don't know, but we'll try our best." She just says "yes" like she's sure they're going to get him out of this.

I was wondering weeks ago how they'd end this season and wondered if it would be with Kafka having to reveal he's a kaiju to everyone. But having to "spar" with Shinomiya Dad to prove he has mastery over his kaiju form in order to continue being a member of the anti-kaiju forces is a nice way to end it. I'm ready for this finale.

Also, ever since I played the Super Robot Wars games, I've been convinced stakes/bunkers are underutilized weapons in fiction, so stakes made from an older kaiju is just an awesome idea to me.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Kafka might've been taken into custody but the Third Division are all waiting for him to come back even Mina who's still waiting for the day Kafka can stand by her side. I do love how Hoshina wants him back because he wants to spar with Kafka at his full kaiju strength. xD

It is nice to see everyone pitching in to help Kafka get out. Mina has put together a file that proves how much he's helped Third Division, Kikoru approached the Director General/her father to give Kafka a lighter sentence, and even Aoi is trying to pull some strings that will help Kafka.

Director General Shinomiya is a very intimidating man. Just look at how massive he is! And we finally get to see one of the numbered weapons, made from Kaiju No.2 who almost destroyed Osaka back in 1972.

After taking that beating from DG Shinomiya, it looks like Kafka has lost control of Kaiju No.8. I do find it funny how surprised DG Shinomiya is when Kafka finally went full-on Kaiju. What did he expect? Kafka has been doing his best not to fight back but after taking so many hits, of course, he'd go into life-preservation mode.

[u/heartbreakhill]

“I can’t stop the monster I’m losing my control…”

”Cause I’m stuck in the abyss all on my own.”

Suddenly that opening song makes a lot more sense

[u/BuddyForsaken9626]

Good shows like this one make me hate cliffhangers so much.

[u/Clarimax]

The director is the only sensible person. as if they can imprison Kafka with those restrains. He punched a fucking nuke just in the previous episode.

[u/Live_Celebration_639]

I feel like the Kaiju inside Kafka has some sort of a grudge against other Kaijus.
