From daily quests and stat upgrades to life-or-death dungeons, this game-like mechanic which appeared out of nowhere — and which was never once explained itself. But the upcoming Season 3 will change that.
According to sources close to the production and teasers from the original light novel series, Season 3 will mainly explore the origins of The System, its creators, and it's true purpose.

Bigger stakes and world-building ahead
The next season i.e. Season 3 won't just be only about Jin-Woo's internal power — it will also expand the story's universe. The anime will introduce the new key characters like the Architect, and delve deeper into the lore of the

war. As the narrative is built towards an all-out global showdown, The System's role in choosing, and preparing Jin-Woo for what's to come in the future will finally make sense.
Fans who are familiar with the web novel, and webtoon already know that the stakes are about to break everything. But for anime-only viewers, these revelations will be both shocking and satisfying. Fans should be ready to explore a darker tone, intense battles, and emotional growth as Sung Jin-Woo will be facing questions that challenge not just his strength, but his humanity.
"I feel like something within me is lost every time I get stronger."
— Sung Jin-Woo

Kaiju No. 8 episode 13 release date and time out — Kafka awakens as Kaiju No. 9's plan throws the defense force into chaos
After a gripping season 1 finale, Kaiju No. 8 is set to return with episode 13 on Saturday, July 19, starting the beginning of season 2. The anime will continue streaming on Crunchyroll, with live streaming scheduled for 10:00 AM EST. The episode will also be available for regular viewing at 7:30 AM PST, 10:30 AM EST, and 3:30 PM BST across platforms like Amazon Prime and Crunchyroll's own app and site. Kafka's Berserker battle closes season 1 The last episode of season 1 ended on a powerful note. Kafka Hibino, driven into a berserker state by a parasitic Kaiju, was strong enough to overpower even Isao Shinomiya. While it looked like Kafka would lose control and kill Isao, he managed to stab himself in the heart to prevent any further damage, proving he still had his humanity. This self-sacrificial act halted the fight and served as a pivotal point for his character arc. Episode 12 recap: Humanity tested, identity affirmed Kaiju No. 8 resumes soon | Credit: X Titled 'Kafka Hibino' , episode 12 explored Kafka's internal struggle and his desperate attempt to remain human. As Kafka lay unconscious from his self-inflicted injury, Isao acknowledged that his survival was beyond human capabilities, confirming Kafka's transformation into a Kaiju. Despite this, Isao defended him, saying being a Kaiju didn't make him a threat. This led to a leadership meeting where Isao successfully argued for Kafka to keep fighting as a soldier, not be executed. His defense, along with Mina's support, resulted in Kafka's sentence being postponed. The Third Division celebrated, while Kafka smiled in his hospital bed. Kaiju No. 9 evolves & plots a new attack While the Defense Force dealt with Kafka's fate, a more intelligent Kaiju No. 9 was preparing for a major offensive. Hiding within the city, Kaiju No. 9 evolved to better understand human behavior—even topping an online chess ranking. With his increasing intellect, he revealed his next move: launching an attack on the Defense Force. To execute this plan, Kaiju No. 9 took on a new form and appeared to have cloned himself for backup, making him an even more dangerous threat in the episodes to come. Kaiju No. 8 returns stronger than ever on July 19, promising intense action and deeper challenges for Kafka and his allies.
