A new visual for the upcoming second season of Kaiju No. 8, as revealed during Jump Festa 2025, has confirmed a July 2025 return for the hit series!
The visual features a character briefly teased at the end of the first season, Captain Gen Narumi of the First Division. An incredibly strong and skilled member of the Defense Force with a complex personality, the second season will dive deeper into Narumi (and that enormous bayonet).
Meanwhile, fans can prepare for season 2 with the upcoming season 1 compilation film, which will feature a special new episode entitled “Hoshina’s Day Off.” The film will be making its way to theaters in Japan for a three-week run starting March 28, 2025.
Two new trailers for the film were also released during Jump Festa, as seen below. The second features a new ending theme by OneRepublic, who did the first season’s ED.
Season 1 of Kaiju No. 8 is now streaming on Crunchyroll.
