Kaiju No. 8 episode 4 recap
Kaiju No. 8 episode 4 began with Kafka Hibino forcing himself to stand and continue the exam. However, he couldn’t walk due to his broken leg, so he had Ichikawa carry him on his back so they could each continue.
Kikoru, meanwhile, leapt through the battlefield with blazing speed, killing every Yoju along the way by herself. She then met with the final Honju, killing it easily which subsequently ended the exam.
However, a new humanoid Kaiju emerged from behind the Honu, shooting Kikoru in the heart. It then began reviving the Honju and all the other Yoju that had been killed thus far, with the humanoid Kaiju even speaking to her.
It then shot her several more times when she tried to fight it before disappearing. This prompted a brief flashback to Kikoru’s childhood, also introducing her father, before returning to the present, where she tried fighting the Honju.
However, she was unable to do any meaningful damage, and instead just kept getting hurt. Just as her death seemed certain, Kafka appeared and transformed, killing the Honju and begging Kikoru to keep his abilities a secret.
It was then revealed that everyone had survived thanks to Kikoru and Kafka’s efforts. The episode ended with the humanoid Kaiju being revealed as able to transform into a human, even “working” for Kafka and Ichikawa’s old cleanup crew.
