◆ Main Story Chapter 8: Plan D
Main Story Chapter 8: Plan D is now available!
To protect her comrades, Sagan Shinomiya plunges into the frozen parallel world of Dubai.
Facing Dimensional Identified Kaiju No. 6 entirely alone, she fights to hold the line until the very moment the Dimensional Gate—her only path home—closes forever.
Carrying the memories of fallen comrades and her devotion to those she must protect, Sagan abandons all defense, committing herself to a final, desperate assault.
◆ New ★5 Character [Over Limit] Sagan Shinomiya
★5 [Over Limit] Sagan Shinomiya joins the battle in this update!
Sagan transforms her unique shield into its spear configuration, Mode: Lance.
While using the weapon in this form was once deemed impossible due to the sheer physical strain, Sagan is able to wield it because she is willing to endure the overwhelming physical toll. Forcing her body beyond its limits, she stands defiant against the might of Dimensional Identified Kaiju No. 6.

■ About Anime Kaiju No. 8
Based on the popular manga series by Naoya Matsumoto, serialized on Shonen Jump+ (Shueisha) since 2020, the anime Kaiju No. 8 portrays intense battles between the Japan Defense Force, tasked with eliminating Kaiju, and the monstrous creatures that routinely threaten human lives. In Japan, the original manga has surpassed 19 million copies in circulation (including digital editions), with 16 volumes published to date (as of September 4, 2025).
The Anime Season 1, which aired from April to June 2024, quickly gained massive popularity, ranking No. 1 on domestic daily rankings across major streaming platforms in Japan. Building on that momentum, a theatrical compilation of Season 1, including the side story Hoshina’s Day Off, premiered in Japan on March 28, 2025. Subsequently, the Anime Season 2 aired from July to September 2025. Furthermore, the production of the Final Chapter and an original short animation, Narumi’s Week at Work, has been officially announced, as the series continues to draw enthusiastic reactions from fans worldwide.
