| I don't know how they did it, but this was one of the least fun shounen fights I've ever seen. |
・
| Quite the action packed episode with the arrival of this red armored kaiju and his army of wyvern kaijus, things looked bad at first even with Kafka’s information on how to kill the wyverns, but with Kikoru’s new battle axe and the arrival of other divisions to help take on the threat, it’s actually started to look pretty good, all except for Hoshina’s end. His fight with the red kaiju (who’s apparently Kaiju No. 10 based on other posts I’m seeing) has been really tough, No. 10 not only looks badass, but has the power to back it up. Hoshina is just built different tho, and he managed to handle this first form of No. 10, and that’s when phase 2 of the boss fight kicked in when he grew to be absolutely massive, now it’s starting to feel like a kaiju fight, the music here was really reminiscent of old school Godzilla too which I really liked. And if I’m not mistaken, No. 10 appears in the OP behind that army of crawly kaijus with his giant singular eye, it’s possible he’s the final boss of the season but there’s still three episodes left so anything could happen. |

| great peak battle shonen episode! |

| I should probably stop watching good anime as it airs, all the cliff hangers are insufferable |
 |
| Very convenient of the kaiju to attack when the captain's away, def makes me think it's an inside job. Also, I may have missed this from last ep, but why was Mina out of the base? The red kaiju's roar reminded me of the Female Titan, and Kikoru's custom weapon *really* reminded me of Seraph of the End. It's even the same type of weapon as the girl with the blonde pigtails there iirc. Now I want the other MCs to also get their own custom weapons. >:) |
| Always trust the shounen formula: Things are going great? Time for a setback. Then the heroes get their power up. Possibly after suffering losses. So I wonder if its time for the vice captain to die? Fortitude 9.0 is greater than what Kafka previously had right? So maybe its time for his power up, or atleast a fight he cant just one shot. |

| So, Shinomiya is now Rita Vrataski? Ok, I guess... |
| An awesome fight!But now it’s got harder. Can't wait for next episode!! |
 |
| Kikoru and Reno, what a dream team. |
 |
| Great episode. I'm really enjoying this show. |

| LOL, they gave Kikoru a giant Axe. I think she's kinda right tho, the Axe doesn't really suit her, she feels more like the Scythe kind of girl. (tho... apparently they only give special weapons to ppls near captain level... why tho? why not give everyone a strong weapon so everyone can have an easier time taking down Kaijus? which as we've seen... the guns they're using are useless against stronger Kaijus...) . Meanwhile Vice-capt is fighting against Kaiju no.10 And for a short while, it looks like vice-capt is winning. But Kaijo no.10 is getting stronger and stronger. . Even Kafka could detect the power increase without transforming. I wonder if Kaiju no.10 can powerup even more... hmm... . Is it time for Kaijuman to appear again and save the day? LOL |

| What a great episode, everything happened so quickly. It's clear that the MVPs are Shinomiya with her new weapon and especially Hoshina, who shone in his confrontation with that new humanoid kaiju. Seriously, a 9.0 fortress? I think it's time for Kaiju No. 8 to make an appearance. |
 |
| Hoshina is my fave character for sure. He's both funny and badass. The scenes of him fighting no 9 were well done. I like the music a lot too, obviously very godzilla inspired. |

clifffhangers whyyyy, im so excited for the next episode!
| @XxspiritwolfxX me tooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| pretty cool episode. hoshina popped off and kikoru's blade looks sick when it glows. the only thing i still don't like is the kaijuu voices. |
 |
| Woah, really enjoyed the action this episode. Hoshina fighting Kaijuu No.10 was sick and despite still finding her annoying, I gotta say Kikoru carrying that huge ass axe looked really badass. Her coordinating with Reno was also a nice sight. |
| Holy Moley, That was such a good episode. Shinomiya, is that a Monster Hunter Switch-Axe (without the "switch" part)? I'm guessing the red kaiju will be dubbed Kaiju No. 10. Well done Hoshina, you made it to phase two! What is Kafka supposed to do? XD Probably go help Hoshina, right?? |
| Get excited, I suppose. |
| ooooo my good god dang this show really is such a treat. audiovisual deliciousness and intensity, everything a flashy battle anime should be. i damn sure do appreciate getting bombarded by publicity for this stuff this is SWEETNESS |

| Hoshina is good at fighting small kaijus, but now that number 10 has become huge, will he be able to keep the fight? Looking forward Mina performing an epic comeback. |

| This new boss Kaiju is interesting, and the 2nd in command seems to be giving it a good fight. Oh and that axe suits her very well, very well indeed. |

In ep 4, they mentioned that Kaijuu no.8 has a fortitude level of 9.8, making him the most powerful kaiju identified by the Defense Force. What's REALLY interesting in this part is... Kafka's reading as Kaijuu no.8 back then... wasn't him in "powered up mode"... he was simply just "ONE PUNCH" the other Kaijuu, lol. Whereas when Kafka was facing against Kaijuu no.9, he powered up a bit (like Godzilla) to overpower no.9's healing factor. (I could only imagine that ONE PUNCH has him at 9.8... what was his reading during the "power up mode"? hmm...) (they never measured his reading, cause while this happened, the communication line and the suit readings were all disconnected until after Kafka powered back down when he got interrupted by the other guys.) |

| I was actually expecting a peaceful episode but then here we were---an attack to the base out of nowhere with the Captain being absent. I wonder how they will overcome this especially Vice-cap Hoshina...maybe Kafka will transform again in the next episode, can't wait! |
| Kikoru>Mina. The Godzilla-esque ost is amazing and the kaiju designs have been so good!! |
| great ep.. lets hope kaijo no 8 clean their messes next ep |

| Damn great animation, now thats the type of arc i’m hyped for |
| Very good chapter, but I've seen in live streaming at Crunchyroll and the subs was failing half of the time.... |
 |
| They gotta start killing off some of these side characters. 9 episodes in and still haven't found a reason to care about Haruichi or Aoi. Just kill them off already so Kafka can reach his next power level or whatever. |
