Kaiju No. 8 Episode 8 recap

In Kaiju No. 8 Episode 8, titled Welcome to the Defense Force, the battle between Kafka Hibino – in his Kaiju form – and Soshiro Hoshina starts. Kafka realizes he can't hold back against Hoshina's relentless attacks, as his attempts to dodge only result in severe injuries. Even with Kafka's regenerative capabilities, the strain on his stamina makes it clear he can't sustain this for long.

Hoshina, meanwhile, senses something unusual about the fight but brushes it off in his pursuit of victory. As Hoshina charges up a devastating attack, Kafka manages to catch the blade, breaking it and creating an opportunity to escape. Neither combatant was fatally injured, and Hoshina finds himself frustrated by his failure to neutralize Kaiju No. 8. He reports to Mina Ashiro, visibly upset.
