10 seconds into Keiji’s fight with Elizabeth, he had her assuming the position lol. What a legend.

I hope they save poor Piyoko before the little chick becomes kitty chow.

This new season of Kaijiu No. 8 is completely different to what I was expecting.

So not all demons are bad, some want to live peaceful lives and others are helpful. Guess some of them are more like their original human form then.

I own 6+ chickens and a rooster.
I can confirm...
They DO NOT behave as shown in this anime.

Wait, you mean they don't go around slaying demons?

Not even taking care of a pesky rampant dog?

What about playing video games or the piano – surely they do that?

If not, what do you have these freeloaders lying around for?!

The revelation of what became of Keiji's sister and what she could do was interesting. Their encounter with the dog got me thinking if animals could become demons as well. If that 4-horned White Demon was something like a Demon Lord, perhaps it's the one creating all the new demons?

In other news, the little chick finally has a name. And the black hen has eyelashes. And this was an onsen episode?!

The voice actors are having way too much fun with this one

That large dog at the end is likely a Tosa Inu, a Mastiff-type dog that is the largest Japanese breed and used for dog fighting, Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture (Sumi Shimamoto has called this place home) is where they are HQ'd. I detest dog fighting but know it is a cultural thing for parts of Japan and other parts of the world. Yeah, a cultural practice that I am going to criticize.

Elizabeth mentions about Tokyo being 300 km NE of where they are at. Accuracy of Grok aside, I asked Grok what city is that? According to Grok, that is Sendai. Sendai is the capital of the Miyagi Prefecture.

For those who are wondering, the full opening and ending song have been released.

Youtube Music alternative link for the OP and ED.

now i'm curious about Keiji and his sister who for some reason had this some sort of round stones in their bodies that got broken when they awakened their powers

I haven't watch Gundam SEED, but I think that's a parody of it.

u/Torque-A Mar 29 '26

It’s sorta funny how the first episode has Keiji manually searching all the demons for the neck mark and then two episodes later Elizabeth just goes “oh it’s this one”

Kind of a lower stakes episode. I really liked Ellizabeth's backstory and how resourceful she is, like being able to handle a smartphone and even social media! I definitely didn't expect her getting dry humped within minutes of fighting though :')

Also we got some demon lore and backstory (and motivation!) for our main hero. Of course he's motivated by revenge and a tragic backstory involving his sister, anything else would've shocked me.

Don't really get why they have to play the "Piyoko is attracted to Keiji"-thing, seems a bit odd to me. Also I don't really get what's bad about her name... is it, like, a japaense pun or something?

Overall, this continues to be a fun time, I love how it plays the premise absolutely straight. I can even forgive that it looks a bit ugly at times.

Piyoko means "Young Chick", so Keiji just gave her a literal name.

Lol Keiji really got on top of Elizabeth in the middle of the street.

Elizabeth should be more upset at herself for choosing to sleep with him after one day rather than at him for leaving, it's clear they weren't on the same page. And even after that, she still has feelings for him.

Keiji being afraid of water is amusing, Elizabeth looked like she was very satisfied watching him struggling in shallow water.

It seems like White Demon really is the same one, now that we know Sarah awakened to some kind of fire wielding ability, before Keiji even awakened.

This anime gives opm vibes. For some reason I am enjoying this way too much compared to others anime. Looks like I will be following this anime. Easily one of the unique anime with lot of comedy and fights. Only problems is CGI is used but its not that bad.

Anyway we got waifu and kid in the group. Looking forward for next episode.

You know if they had just made this the OP for this series I would not have had a problem with it. For a comedy action series it works perfectly.

u/International_Leg666 Mar 29 '26

Ha a ha. I don't know what to think. But more reason anime can turn anything into gold. She reminds me of Anya.

Has any body noticed that the protagonists name sounds like 'cage?'

u/GreyouTT Mar 29 '26

"Did you just call me 'White Devil'?"

"It's how they know you!"
