Fans of the popular anime series Kaiju No. 8 celebrated the release of what some platforms refer to as “Episode 22” of the anime, which is the tenth episode of its second season. The episode premiered on Saturday, September 20, 2025, continuing the highly anticipated second season that began in July.
The latest installment is available for streaming on Crunchyroll, with new episodes of Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 arriving weekly.
Release Details and Streaming Information
Kaiju No. 8 Season 2, Episode 10 (or Episode 22 in some listings) was released on September 20, 2025. Viewers in North America could access the episode on Crunchyroll, with specific times varying by region: 7:00 AM Pacific Time, 10:00 AM Eastern Time, and 3:00 PM BST in the UK for live broadcast. It became available on-demand shortly after.
Crunchyroll is the primary platform for streaming Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 across various territories, including North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, and the Indian Subcontinent.
Clarifying Episode Numbering
The discrepancy in episode numbering, where the tenth episode of Season 2 is sometimes referred to as “Episode 22,” stems from certain streaming platforms sequentially numbering episodes across both seasons. Season 1 of Kaiju No. 8 consisted of 12 episodes, meaning Season 2 episodes pick up numerically from there for a continuous count.
Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 Overview
The second season of Kaiju No. 8 officially premiered on July 19, 2025, following a special spin-off episode titled “Hoshina’s Day Off” which aired on July 5, 2025. The season is expected to run for a total of 11 or 12 episodes, depending on whether the special is counted in the official season count.
The narrative of Season 2 continues the thrilling saga of Kafka Hibino, who gained the ability to transform into a kaiju and now navigates his role within the Anti-Kaiju Defense Force while keeping his secret. The season builds upon the events of Season 1, where Kafka’s secret was revealed, and he endeavors to prove his worth as an asset to the Defense Force. Recent episodes have showcased intense battles and the introduction of new specialized suits for Defense Force members, including Gen Narumi, Kikoru Shinomiya, and Soshiro Hoshina, crafted from the remains of powerful kaiju.
Looking Ahead
With Episode 10 (or 22) now released, fans can anticipate the remaining episodes of Kaiju No. 8 Season 2, which are scheduled to air weekly on Saturdays. The finale for Season 2 is expected on October 4, 2025. The unfolding story promises further developments in Kafka’s journey and the ongoing fight against the monstrous kaiju threats.
