# Where to Watch Kaiju No. 8 Season 2

**Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 streams on Crunchyroll — the return of one of the biggest new shonen hits of the decade, and it wastes no time raising the stakes. If Season 1 hooked you on a middle-aged man who becomes the very monster he's sworn to fight, the sequel is where the Defense Force stops doubting him and starts needing him.**

## Synopsis

After the massive operation that exposed and confined Kafka Hibino — secretly the humanoid monster known as Kaiju No. 8 — the Defense Force faces an awkward question: what do you do with the first kaiju to fight on humanity's side? The answer is to fold his power into the elite First Division, the unit built to handle the threats no one else can survive. But plenty still don't trust him, and Kafka has to prove, mission by mission, that the monster in his skin is an asset rather than a liability. When a devastating new wave of kaiju descends, he and the First Division are thrown straight into the fire. It's bigger, faster, and more emotionally loaded than before.
