Kaiju No. 8 - S01

After the big operation that ended with the capture of the recent recruit Kafka Hibino, also known as Kaijuu No. 8, the Defense Force struggled with what to do with him. Kafka is the first kaijuu to side with humans, and after careful thought, he is eventually moved to the Defense Force's First Division, hoping his power will strengthen the strongest division, one able to handle any threat. Still, some people remain unsure about Kafka, and he has to prove his worth on the next mission. Kafka and the First Division are soon sent out when a huge horde of ant-like kaijuu starts causing destruction. Thanks to the combined strength of Kafka's friend Kikoru Shinomiya and their captain, Gen Narumi, the mission seems to go as planned. But when Kafka fails to transform into his kaijuu form, the terrifying Kaijuu No. 9 enters the battle with one goal: to eliminate him and steal his power. Even though things look grim, Kafka must get through his hardest trial yet with the others if he wants to keep chasing his dream of fighting side by side with his childhood friend and Third Division captain, Mina Ashiro.
