as much I hate the comedy and pacing, Kafka's transformation never disappoints
love the way he overpowered that weird Kaiju but sad that plot armor ruined it

Pretty cool episode. We get to see Reno's skills and growth again. Not happy with now Kaiju No. 9 escapes through plot armor. How hard would it have been for Kafka to finish it off before running away? Seemed like a flimsy excuse to use the villain longer.

Reno really is a fighter. Pushing forward in the name of progression. I really love how the team has each other's backs. Nobody will sacrifice their fellow teammate or let them die without a final standoff together.

Hoshina getting serious tho. Overriding his suit to fight Kafka.

Kafka's knoweledge may be critical, but the member of the Monster Sweeper disposal team is now the target they need to eradicate.

Ichikawa and Iharu noticing the rogue member, it's the Humanoid from the exam which severely limits their communication with the outside world, not to mention their attacks, which Kikoru is able to figure out that Ichikawa used it to his greatest abilities. Someone who can tackle it is Kafka in his Kaiju form, but since he isn't around, both Ichikawa and Iharu have to fend for themselves until the outside world realizes their missing tracking vitals.

Still though, Kaiju No. 9 is not fooling around against both Ichikawa and Ihara, and Kafka coming to the rescue being One Punch Man Saitama-like, it's better than nothing. And with all of his abilities, Kafka goes for the kill, which No. 9 is not able to retreat and takes the full brunt of the force. But before he could finish off No. 9, being spotted by the Defense Team is not good, and No. 9 makes his escape while Kafka does so himself while attempting to transform back to a human.

Worse stlll, being seen by Hoshina, he has no reason to hold back against Kafka in his Kaiju No. 8 form, what will he do to deal with a rather serious Hoshina?

Looks like the cleaners were on a call out and the kaijuu snuck away. This sentient kaijuu has abilities it even jams the communication channel for them. Iharu and Ichikawa try their best to survive but that's crazy the kaijuu has a projectile attack an is basically playing with them. Kafka saves them but Hoshino unleashes his 92% attack power on him thinking Kafka injured Ichikawa and Iharu. Episode was ok scary to fight a monster but even scarier when the monster is sentient

yap yap yap sappy insignificant dialogue while the so called villain just stands there and waits for them to finish talking yeah? and then the monster with his quip remarks like he has to spell out everything he sees or happens or understands then say stuff like "and now prepare to die" like some edgy teenager as if that's how some alien lifeform would act when interested in mercilessly eviscerating the human race... and of course, the villain gets to live another day because the hero gets mildly inconvenienced for a split second instead of having his priorities straight and ripping out the core... I'm done with shounens

I didn't expect that much of this show, but I've come to like it till this point. Kafka battles in his kaiiju form are the best and his change of mood when he becomes serious and ready to fight is something good to see. It proves that he can be the adult in charge of taking care of everyone.

Not bad episode, sadly they lost the chance to increase the sene of kaijus fight with a strong soundtrack, like Solo leveling.

Despite what they were up against, Reno and Iharu really managed to hold out, even if it was going easy on them.
Shame Kafka got distracted there since he might have been able to finish it off.
Now he's got to go up against the vice captain, which doesn't look like it'll be any easier.

This episode raises a lot of questions I'll be honest. The Kaiju disappearing into thin air out of nowhere is one of them, second will be Kafka being stupid enough to keep his form on till he's caught. Isn't it something he can basically turn on and off, we haven't established a problem with that yet so this is a problem. Third would be the crazy cliche reactions on the verge of dying that these characters had in the episode, simply unimpressive. Then, we have one of the essentials I now feel should've been used in the montage somewhat instead of going full goofy, we still don't know how their gear works, like at all. This episode was disappointing to say the least.

@JoestarEISH_020 Also a note to self, Reno better have a better reason for wanting to save Kafka than simply because of his heroism in the first episode. I feel like there needs to be some kind of mystery behind his thinking, if not, that'd make him as generic as they come.

It was so satisfying to see Kafka bring that kaiju to the brink of death but of course he was thwarted. And Hoshino is no pushover!!

Kafka was absolutely epic against this human kaijuu now that he could transform into kaiju n°8 but damn Hoshina saw him and now they're fighting, it's gonna be an awesome fight

He has the ability to manipulate monsters . He points. A second humanoid. Perhaps he can bring home a live specimen. Another request to run. I am a big fan of this guys disign. A different person than he was yesterday. This time he does not run all the way away. He doesn’t hate the one who busted him. He hates the one who never got stronger. The only thing they can do is fight. He prays to a god for this shot. He is hit. He doesn’t give up. He prays to the devil, And He arrives. The enemy knows him by his human nickname. He laughs in the face of the dying. His attack only gives him inspiration to retaliate. An incredible battle. And the enemy escapes with the knowledge. The worst opponent for him to face. He has finally gotten serious. 5
