Kaijuu 8-gou 2nd Season Episode 4 Discussion

@holdingnothing All kaijuu have a core, even in human form, I imagine. Assumedly, if they developed some full body scan which (should?) show the core before allowing entry to important places, it would prevent any future kaijuu from continuing to exploit that problem.

Yep, the typical shounen trope where the old head from the previous generation has to give it his all one last time, basically sacrificing himself to raise the stakes... which, for this show, will actually work because up until now there have been quite literally none. Plus, well, I mean, Isao is like the only good character in this show, plus he’s just cool to watch fight in general xD

Though, knowing this show, I’d expect something more like him becoming incapacitated and unable to carry on his duties, because him dying at this point wouldn’t really make sense for anyone’s development. But at the same time, like I said, stakes are needed, so it really does feel like this is it for Commander. Fighting with #9 definitely proved to be a fatal mistake.

Of course, the moment an important character’s about to die, Kafka suddenly forgets how to fly. Also, Isao said it has the ability to track his location, so how exactly does that stop him from running toward Kafka and the captain? Such a worthless and stupid death, but I guess it’s my fault for expecting anything better from this.
