The second season of Kaiju No. 8 officially ended on September 27, 2025, and in the final episode, the show provided nothing but pure adrenaline with Episode 11.

And that sneaky scoundrel gave it even more, as the Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force was left in ruins. The beast mode roared louder than ever, yet there are doubts: Can he outwit the mayhem?

The episode concluded the Sagamihara Neutralization Operation arc with some emotional gut-punches and heart-stopping fights. The team of Mina Ashiro was stretched to the limits, and Vice-Captain Hoshina’s swordplay stole the scenes. Twitter (now X) is buzzing with fans using such hashtags as KaijiNo8Season2Finale that are trending all over the world. It was nailed down by just one tweet: What’s the ending? I’m wrecked. “Season 3 or bust!”
Now, the big tease: Season 3, and no official announcement from Crunchyroll or the team. Here is the big news: the manga, written by Naoya Matsumoto, reached its finale on July 18, 2025. Chapter 129 closed 16 volumes of monster carnage. The hype is still alive in Viz Media’s English. Season 1 saw smooth pacing in early volumes; Season 2 has adapted up to about Chapter 40-ish. Much more to discuss the Kafka redemption arc, the new Kaijus, and more about those numbered beasts.
There are rumours circulating among anime fans. Anticipating a 2026 drop, similar to the one-year gap between Season 1 (April 2024) and this summer’s run. It demands an encore due to the visual panache of director Shigeyuki Miya–those fluid battles, and the gritty Tokyo ruins. Is it going to be post-Sagamihara fallout? Bet on it.
Kaiju No. 8 is not only about action, but rather about the underdogs rising against impossible odds. Kafka working his way up the ladder, the cleaning crew grunting at the Kaiju killer? Begin with the manga of Shonen Jump+ or watch Season 1-2 now. Cross your fingers that the green light is coming soon, as Kaiju are knocking up and no one can wait.
