Man, Kaiju Number 8 is great, and Kafka is a great main character. I was thinking recently about the new generation shounen like Kaiju, Dandadan, Gachiakuta and Sakamoto Days and I think their biggest appeal is the fact the protagonists aren't chasing to be the best of something, they're just living their lifes and dealing with the problems that come to them. Also the fact the support characters are also great. Protagonists must be charismatic and an exemple to follow, but they don't have to solve EVERY situation like other older anime/manga.
They remind me of Ichigo. He gets complaints as a mc because he "doesn't have a goal", but I like that it's not as simple as wanting to be the best or a leader. They're mcs who were given or achieved great power and all they want to do is protect their loved ones and live happy lives. While I wouldn't necessarily say it feels realistic, but it feels a lot more grounded and easier to connect to them.
@@Ethanoljunkie so what? Shounen is a demographic, targeted mainly for younger audiences. The age of protagonist or characters don't matter. It's like saying Shingeki no Kyojin isn't shounen because it has blood and deaths.
The ironic thing is that it would've been better (or not as bad) to let it explode on the ground than in the air. An air burst makes nuclear explosions more devastating. This is why the bombs dropped in WWII were detonated around 500 meters from the ground.
Except everyone was on ground zero right under it, with no time to get away. The blast travels more easily through the air, but it still loses energy the further it goes. That's why airbursts have an optimal detonation height, based on the strength of the bomb and the desired effect on the target. If it goes off too high above the ground, the blast will lose too much energy by the time it reaches the objetive, minimizing the damages (but affecting a larger area).
I was a Firefighter in the Navy and had to study about Nukes for Advancement Exams. They were detonated in Air not for the Blast Radius, but for the spread of Radiation that would wipe out people, plants, and animals. The Main devastation from a Nuke is the Radiation and how it makes Land, Water, and Air uninhabitable for YEARS, depending on where it detonated and the Height of Detonation. Either way, this explosion was WAY bigger then a Nuke...........
@@zackrakotoarivony9916 #9 mentions how there was one particular man that stood in his way. Linking this to how the #8 "parasite" said "I finally found you." is a clear sign that this isn't the first rodeo it's been through
@@syedahmedrazaabidi1 there are far better ways lol, like cutting literally anything else. Also could have altered the pitch of the audio, could have added a color filter over the episode.
@@ghost-024 youre dumb, the thing was about to blow, there was barely any time to a) run to a sheltered area with no one following him b) transform and c) get back and launch it into the stratosphere
What time would be truly have to do that though? They clearly saw him run off and would’ve noticed he was missing if he wanted to go find somewhere to change
You really think Kafka could run into a building and then a few seconds later “coincidentally” have kaiju no 8 run out of the building, save everyone and then disappear without anyone putting two and two together lmao. If he transformed there’s literally no way they wouldn’t figure out it was him even if he didn’t do it in front of everyone.
Bro dead ass. Theyre not taking me into custody. Either they understand, Im not going to be put at the mercy of the higher ups who don't know me and are closed minded fools. Try again Chump! lol
Kind of lame how there is rockets coming out from his legs like that one loser from my hero academia that wears glasses. Why couldn't they just make his muscles pop-out and make it extremely muscular and veiny or something.
Because the author wanted it that way. And maybe because jumping would be like throwing a punch, while using thrusters is more like pushing. Which makes a bit more sense considering it's a big unstable bomb he didn't want to destroy but to push away.

Brother, main char is 32 years old, its not a shonen

I saw this scene and it's what made me go watch the anime. I have no regrets
Oh man, you started watching anime now? theres sooooo much to go back and watch.
Yup recently finished the 1st season too all heat🤌🔥
@@Typ3_alpha no, I've watched anime for years but hadn't watched Kaiju no. 8 until I saw this clip
Same :3
Man this shit got me pumped when I saw it
This and Solo Leveling !!! Best Anime out right now! love this scene.
Probably in the top 10 best anime scenes of all time tbh
That's a huge claim. Top 100
@@jasontokio1591 ya there's way too many good scenes out there but it's def good.

@@jasontokio1591you tryna be cool or you just don’t wanna admit that this is much better than most of the shitty anime that you got in your list
@@amateurartist23 top 100 is fair go watch more anime
BRO BECAME ONE PUNCH MAN AT THIS TIME LOL 😂😂
"... Superman."
I understood that reference.
Oh cmon you didn't have to remind of what happened
Man, I never thought I would get this goosebumps again after I watched Tengen Toppa Guren Lagann final fight. This for is the anime of year
I watched this then forced to read the manga, need more..MORE!
Same now im all caught up and addicted 😭
GOD this show is so fucking GOOD

🤯🤯
The kaijubomba was already at airburst height, so pushing it further upwards may well have been the best thing that could be done

you are incorrect, the closer a bomb blast near the ground, the more damage it will cause...
I didn't care about this anime before until I saw this scene fricking epic
When reading the manga i was using spotify and i swear, randomly godzilla theme started playing for this chapter and it was epic⚡
Should’ve been 50 episodes for the first season
Best part of this story; That's his Ancestor's Legacy. No. 8 is his great grandfather's gift to him.
I believe im up to date with the manga and there ,as no mention of that (yet?)
How do you know that it's his great grandfather's gift?

Is manga finished?
@@nabeelsheikh3661 Not yet. There's a "Collection" of Kaijus the crew has to face, plus everyone's on their last leg.
You were spitting facts my friend, it was revealed in yesterday manga chapter
Man those cuts in epic scenes on yt are annoying af...
I think these are there to avoid copy rights

Bgm is 🔥🔥🔥
My fav Anime!
this scene remind me of the opening : " if you had to choose would you rather let me go"
Does anyone know the song when kafka starts running to the bomb? It's so good
Never Break Down - This one on TH-cam - アニメ『怪獣８号』第10話劇中歌「Never Break Down」リリックビデオ｜毎週土曜23時～放送・配信
👍
Lit💯
the variation of never break down that plays in this video, is different from the anime I watched, I wonder why that is
The manga is wild right now hope we see the full manga go anime
It looked really cool and all but was there really need to transform in front of all of them? Why not look for an empty phone booth or something
There was no time and it was a split second decision.
Because the MC is soo Dumb

After helping they are pointing guns. Wtf!
I don’t remember reading that in the manga
Just as epic as the manga❤❤❤❤
Yeah but he's still weaker then his commander
This scene has One Punch Man reference.🫤

You are not him lil bro
Short term logic tho. They’d still hunt you forever. Killing all social activities. Better to face consequences head on like he did.
Kinda give me opm trope
This is some opm shit😅
This was a great scene until dummy cut it to bits. Trash edit 👎
