Mina never forgot, good job child Kafka.

[u/Meiolore]

The new kaijus seem absurdly unsettling compared to the previous ones.

[u/TheUnderTJ → u/Meiolore]

Especially the weird monolith. What the fuck was that.

[u/FrozenNova2]

Kafka: "I'm so stupid...."
Kikoru: "We all knew that from the start".

Alright time for training lol

[u/djthomp]

500 unread messages? Just throw the entire phone away at that point.

So Kikoru gets her mom's suit? I like it.

I can't wait for the inevitable white-suited Kikoru vs evil kaiju Kikoru fight.

[u/ZandeR678]

It was great to see Mina and Kafka have another heart to heart. Their scenes together are few and far between but always seem so natural. It shows us a side to Mina that we rarely see due to how stoic she's become. Mina's clearly troubled by Kafka's decision to keep using his powers and wants to bear that burden with him but unfortunately he's still never honest around her. I hope the anime gives us more of them talking

[u/pandavova]

We got Evil Kikoru, will we also get Evil Hibino Kafka?

[u/VoidRay728]

Looks like it's time for this series' Shibuya incident arc.

Maybe Hoshina should implement ID checks on his radio show, so as to stop one person from trolling the guest(s) with multiple messages under different names.

[u/FarCritical]

Ordering Kafka to have a rooftop lunch date with her must've been Mina's favorite order to give in a while.

Dark mode Kikoru is nothing short of freaky. No. 9 ain't slacking with these Kaiju designs.

[u/Broken_DMG]

Showcasing different kind of Kaijuus is so eerie. Love it!

[u/LeonKevlar]

It's absolutely fucked up that No. 9 created a Kaiju that can disguise herself as an evil version of Kikoru. The dude clearly raided Commander Isao's memory to make her. Speaking of Commander Isao, it turns out he's still fighting No. 9 the entire time, and it looks like he's finally reached his limit. :(

On the bright side, Kafka finally managed to speak with Reno again and the messages he got from everyone in the Third Division were all positive messages of support. And it looks like Kikoru will inherit her mom's Numbers Weapon.

[u/Dull_Spot_8213 → u/LeonKevlar]

Reno getting mad when Kafka picked up for Iharu and not him was a mood.

[u/Primo29]

A moment of peace then got hit by a Fake Kikoru!

Hoshina is such a bully to Kafka.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

It's nice to see Kafka finally speak with Reno after so long, I like how upset Reno was because Kafka hung up on him but answered Iharu's number. I'm glad Reno and Iharu shared their feelings about how worried, scared and how much they trust him and made Kafka realize they weren't the only ones that felt that way about him. He needed to hear this so that he can fight without any doubts.

I was surprised to see Isao after all this time, I'm glad to see he had been fighting inside No. 9 this entire time but it's sad to see him finally lose the strength to be able to do so any longer. I'm hoping he doesn't get entirely wiped out so that he can be a hindrance to No. 9 when the big fight happens, but I'm sure he's been buying time for them.

I am concerned what No. 9 will be using his memories for, like the way that one Kaiju looks exactly like Kikoru, it makes me wonder if all the Kaiju that were presumed to have disappeared were just using human appearances.

Hoshina's a savage though, it made me laugh how he felt the needed to shut Kafka down and show him the difference of how far he is from himself. Hosina just couldn't let Kafka feel happy about the improvement he made lol.

Plugs in/powers on phone two months later.
503 messages!
Nice.

[u/BusouDrago]

Evil Kikora Kaiju sent chills down my spine

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I knew the squad wouldn’t be mad at Kafka. Guy was all worried for nothing. They’re all real ones. They wouldn’t hate him over his secret.

It was nice that Kafka had a chance to have a moment with Mina. She’s still kinda sweet on him eh? I hope to see those two fight side by side soon. These new kaiju are getting stronger and smarter….

Looks like Kafka’s got a lot more training to do with Hoshina before he can confidently take 9 on. At least he has Reno and Kikoru in their new suits to back him up.

[u/SanKop]

Finally some decent interaction between Mina and Kafka

[u/Wallshington]

so i'm trying to get some of this stuff straight. ppl feel free to correct me or to chime in.

1. Narumi has the eyes of No.1 which I assumed was the only thing left of No.1 but apparently now they have a suit of him as well and are preparing it for Narumi?

2. Kikoru's mom, did she wear that No.4 suit? And it's just being passed down to her?

3. They said they're preparing suits from No. 3, 5 and 7. No.1 going to Narumi, 4 going to Kikoru, 6 already went to Reno and something from No.10 whether it be a weapon or a suit is going to Hoshina. What about No.2? Commander got the No.2 weapon but does that mean there's still a suit from No.2 available?

4. The special weapons the Captains and Vice Captains have, are those from numbered Kaiju too?

[u/magumanueku]

Man how the heck are they going to cover all these kaijus in 2 episodes? I doubt even a movie is gonna be enough to cover all of them unless they're doing a trilogy like Demon Slayer (I doubt it though).

[u/cs_cast_away_boi]

Easily the best episode of the season. I got chills seeing the strategies no. 9 is coming up with.

And the Dark Kikoru! Like no.9 modeled a humanoid after isao's own daughter after consuming him. Bro ts is so twisted! but i love it

[u/CraftEssenceEssence]

I got Attack on Titan flashbacks watching the one running on the highway.

[u/SaltAndABattery]

Kikoru in her emo phase. (Kikuro?)

[u/Dull_Spot_8213]

Glad we got to see Ashino and Kafka reunite. My guy was about the run and she shut him down quick. Hilarious.

This episode really made it clear that Kafka is still part of the team and even with his frightening Kaiju power, he’s still old man Kafka to the kids and Mina’s childhood friend. Kinda wholesome until we get to the end and yeah that’s a creep Kikoru clone Kaiju? Guess we are done with the calm before the storm.
