Kaiju No. 8 Season 2: Release date, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on June 24, 2025, 16:53 IST Kaiju No. 8 burst onto the anime scene in 2024, hooking fans with its wild mix of monster-smashing action and heartfelt moments. After a killer first season, everyone's buzzing about Season 2. So, let's cut through the noise and get into what's confirmed: release date, returning voices, new faces, and what kind of chaos Kafka Hibino's heading into next. When's Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 Coming Out? Mark your calendars— Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 is locked in for July 19, 2025. Crunchyroll dropped the news alongside a teaser trailer at AnimeJapan 2025, and the hype's real. The show will air weekly on TV Tokyo at 11:30 PM JST, with Crunchyroll and X streaming it worldwide at the same time, just like Season 1. If that's not enough to tide you over, a special episode called Hoshina's Day Off —all about our favorite blade-wielding Vice-Captain Soshiro Hoshina—drops July 5, 2025, on X. Crunchyroll might pick it up too, but no word yet. Cast Updates for Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 The gang's mostly back, and the voice talent's as solid as ever. Here's who's returning for the Japanese dub: Masaya Fukunishi as Kafka Hibino, our kaiju-turned-hero still juggling his double life. Wataru Kato as Reno Ichikawa, the loyal rookie stepping up big time. Asami Seto as Mina Ashiro, the no-nonsense Third Division Captain. Fairouz Ai as Kikoru Shinomiya, the prodigy with a chip on her shoulder. Kengo Kawanishi as Soshiro Hoshina, slicing kaiju and stealing scenes. Yuuki Shin as Iharu Furuhashi, bringing the team's chaotic energy. Keisuke Komoto as Haruichi Izizu, ready for more action. New blood's joining the fray too. Koki Uchiyama steps in as Gen Narumi, the First Division Captain who's basically a walking legend dubbed 'Japan's Strongest Anti-Kaiju Combatant.' Expect him to shake things up. Hiroki Yasumoto voices Eiji Hasegawa, and Kana Hanazawa plays Rin Shinonome, both fresh faces who'll stir the pot in Season 2. English dub fans, you're likely getting the same crew back, including Adam McArthur (Reno), Katelyn Barr (Mina), and Abigail Blythe (Kikoru). Crunchyroll's probably sticking with their sub-and-dub-at-once approach, so no one's left waiting. What to Expect from Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 Plot Season 1 left us on a cliffhanger with Kafka's big secret—yep, him being Kaiju No. 8—out in the open. Now, he's under the First Division's watch, specifically Gen Narumi's, who's not exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Drawing from Naoya Matsumoto's manga, Season 2's likely diving into the Kaiju Weapon Arc (Chapters 40–53) and the Compatible User Arc (Chapters 54–68). That means more monster mayhem, deeper lore, and some tough calls for our boy Kafka. Key Plot Points to Anticipate: Kafka's Big Test: Kafka's gotta prove he's more man than monster while training with Narumi. Some in the Defense Force still side-eye him, so expect tension. Kaiju No. 9's Next Move: That creepy kaiju from Season 1? It's back, pulling strings and unleashing nastier attacks. The Compatible User Arc digs into its scheme to mess with human-kaiju hybrids, and it's bad news for everyone. New Gear, New Fights: The Kaiju Weapon Arc brings in Numbers Weapons—gear made from dead kaiju that only certain fighters can sync with. Reno and Kikoru get some spotlight here, and the battles are next-level. Things Get Heavy: The vibe's darker this time. Think bigger invasions, tougher moral choices, and hints at the manga's massive Kaiju No. 9 Invasion Arc down the road. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
