In Episode 9, titled “Tachikawa Base Assault,” which aired on June 8, the search for the human-mimicking Kaiju No. 9 continues. Suddenly, a swarm of kaiju attacks the Minna Ashiro-less Tachikawa Base. The leader of these usually solitary pterosaur-like kaiju is a new “great kaiju” that understands human language and shows intelligence. This kaiju, seemingly enjoying the fight, targets the strongest soldier present – Soshiro Hoshina.
Following this exciting episode, the official X account dropped a bombshell: “New ‘Kaiju No. 8’ Project to be Revealed on Saturday, June 15th at 11 PM after Episode 10 airs.” They’ve even launched a new official X account and website for the project, complete with a countdown!
Naturally, the internet is buzzing with speculation and excitement. Comments range from “Is a movie coming?” to “I’m so excited, can’t wait!” The use of a game controller emoji in the announcement has sparked further theories: “Is it a game?” “Maybe an app game?” “A fighting game, perhaps?”
With just a few days to go, fans are eagerly awaiting the broadcast and the big reveal. Let’s stay tuned and see what’s in store!
