Kaiju (giant monsters razing cities) is in like top 10 most popular trope in not only anime, but Japanese media overall. I hardly doubt they referenced currently airing anime specifically.

Because it's been popular in Japan overall since like 80s or 90s.

No, Kaiju in general just means giant monsters and it was in the manga aswell. This arc airing with Kaiju no 9 is just a coincidence.

@GTRaijin ROFLMAO. Try the 1950s. Like the OG Godzilla movies. I watched them & the spin-offs as a kid on Saturday afternoons in the 1970s.

@Sheol01 Yeah, I didn't know the exact dates it all began, but my point remains the same. Theme is old as fuck and it's not Kaiju No.8 exclusive like the OP thinks.
