As an adult man who is in their early 30’s it’s been forever since I’ve been able to relate to a MC since most MC’s tend to be teens. It’s a feeling that I didn’t even know I was missing deep down whenever starting a new anime.

[@reasez2020]

Right?! I'm a 32 year old woman... I need more adults to watch! 😂

[@sorboom]

I watched the anime last night and immediately binged what was available. It's everything I like about world trigger but with adults and great interesting baddies(villains)

[@DarylFrank1]

Im 40 out here keeping up with the young kids…. This manga is relatable

[@Volt_Fortnite]

the actual craziest part is how dub comes out the same time as sub

[@juliusisbrown]

Best part

[@Notabear6810]

Yeah more shows need to do that

[@seanowheels]

There is another show called Re:Monster that is the same way.

[@joshuadaugherty5548]

Yeah it's not the only show to do that but it's wild. I thought I was going to have to watch the sub when it came out

[@chadchipman257]

here waiting for the jjk video lmao i love your break downs nick!! keep doing you man!

[@williamcastro4440]

Food for thought: It would be cool if there was an overlay, in the corner of your video for instance, that indicated "anime-only" content vs. "manga spoilers" content. For some of your content, I avoid watching the video entirely because I don't know if you'll go into light/heavy detail about the manga (which I don't read for most anime). Having a visual indicator might allow folks to watch more. Plus, scrolling through the video gives preview images which would help folks avoid spoilers. Don't see other anime channels do this so it could set you apart even further. I'm sure many folks in your 350K subscriber community would appreciate it.

[@nicksmith7719]

Kaiju number 9 reminds me of the fungus that takes over the corpses of insects making them seem alive even though they're already dead. Perhaps it was based on that same fungus

[@jasonarendse943]

Kaiju no 8 taking the anime world by storm

It is tho! That uppercut fuckin sold me

[@juanmacias5922]

21:19 LMFAO I caught a few, but the number of times you said "kaiju", and "no. 9" is impressive haha

[@AhmedHussain-ju6xd]

Kaiju no 9 is really such a cool villain. We see him lose over and over again but he comes back stronger. He's a good mirror to humanity in that way.

[@Rockhopperforlife]

The cruel darkness of the universe vs The indomitable -human- kaiju spirit.

[@tawj1918]

thank you nick. kaiju content makes me so happy

[@IAmBrandonH]

I think Kafka has the power to revive dead Kaiju like No 9 does. Kafka celebrates killing the Kaiju and is like "yeahhh!! Try coming back from that!" and the Kaiju starts moving. Kafka then freaks out saying he was kidding and the Kaiju stops moving. I'm personally assuming that that moment was Kafka using that ability without realizing it, and that that moment is a foreshadowing to it being announced that he has that specific ability.

[@jamirconnelly6544]

the ad where you took your glasses off scared the hell out of me lol

[@glitchparallax4215]

I wonder who will be the Founding Titan (Ymir Fritz) of Kaiju #8. Unless they are not gonna expand on how the Kaijus become to be.

[@KegaB3]

Been looking for a new anime to watch, thanks for the heads up on this one

[@Kiba-kz4eq]

Nick should do a top ten negators ranked and explained undead unluck video that would be awesome!

[@TheLateral18]

Why nobody is explaining the bug thing that when into his mouth. And it says i found you.. Who sent it!! So many questions

[@dayaborges2447]

I have this theory that Kaiju no. 9 is mycelium (animal kingdom including mushrooms) in the way that Godzilla is reptile. This would connect a lot of the facets in the video. Mushrooms are essentially hive nervous systems that use the earth as a body. They change and grow rapidly, in some cases merge with species to take control, some networks have been found to communicate with each other, etc. However, the biggest connection would be the theory that Kaiju no. 9 is the creator of Kaiju, because mycelium is said to be the origins of life on Earth or at least the first forms of life. Idk kinda a stretch on my end but interesting nonetheless. It also kinda looks mushroomish

[@thegreath26]

That's a great theory, it makes since

[@Icidity]

It makes sense except for the fact that he made the Kaiju (I don't think he did,otherwise, if he did create Kaiju, then he made Kaiju, then he should've known how to kill Kaiju no8 . I mean take this as an e.g If u made the blueprints ,then u know how to disassemble and yk all the weaknesses. But if he Is the creator how can he not kill his own creation? Let alone get bashed and almost killed?

[@johnnypollack3243]

Yo Nick where the jjk chapter video? We got stitches.

[@badtemper88]

I just started the manga were the anime left off last episode and for some reason they changed the design of the defense forces pistols and rifles for some reason. Maybe because the pistol is clearly a Glock and the rifle is an AR.

I cannot wait for more Kaiju no 8 episodes 🥹 it’s awesome to see those combat suits and I like the Kaijus although it’s a bit silly of the guy not realizing the person walking towards them was not interested whatsoever and the goofy eyes 😂but I’m liking it. Kafka is awesome I can’t wait to see more of the combat 😊

Can we talk about how it was teased that kaufka may have the ability to bring kaiju back as well... he told the kaiju "i dare you to revive after that" and when it started reviving he said "i was joking please don't revive" and it died again

[@blackabyssgaming2917]

If at any point id like to see them come up with a final cause for the kaiju. Such as they breach through the marianna trench in search of new lands because their home world is failing, their is a Kaiju god who creates kaiju to envelop and take over the earth. Something along those lines just to keep the story going

[@omegaminoseer4539]

Every time that TWC says, "Kaiju No. 9," take a sip. Don't take a shot, because you would die as soon as the minute passes 6:30.

What if No. 9 is made specifically for one job. Like an anti body. No 9 might have developed an opinion about it or developed simply a "personality". It might feel good for completing it's job based on how it was raised or evolved. Who knows

[@_Tsagaglalal_]

he’s busy watching one piece, an actually good series

[@red_sun_sundowner]

a few things here no 9 can absorb and create other kaiju and absorb the unique aspects of humans eg people that naturally have more afinity than others with spsific weapons like mina with guns. we are also shown that no 9 acts like a factory for kaiju and that the consciousnesses of those that he absorbes are still there kind of like how it works with the number suits. also also the kaiju that no 9 resurects isnt a spsific ability of his but a product of him rearanging their organs and when he resurects them if their strength doubles their fortitude wouldnt as it is shown repeatedly to be a logarithmic system eg a fortitude 8 kaiju is 10x stronger than a fortitude 7 kaiju.

[@hanselsantana4609]

I feel Kafka has the ability to resurrect kaijus as well just because of that one kaiju on the exam

[@mr.pineapple7620]

The magnitude scale os logarithmic. If it brought back a 3.2 as a 6.4 then it would be hundrets of times Strong

weird how the world works, i sat down earlier and wanted to watch some anime, so i thought fk it ill watch kaiju No. 8 cause i remembered seeing the trailers. well i sat and watched all 6 episodes (there fire btw) and now i come to youtube to watch something on the Kaiju no. 8 topic and what would u know the only anime content creator i watch made a video on it just a couple hours ago.

[@Fernando-ek8jp]

Take a shot every time Nick doesn't say Kaiju No. 9, your survival chances are greater than the opposite.

[@curtisthompson8687]

I like it sometimes the comedic relief is miss place but it good

[@crimsonredkingdom2656]

I don’t think Kaiju No. 9 scales to Kafka. Not even close. Spoiler 🚨 - - - - - It’s implied that Kaiju No. 9 has been alive for centuries and at least a portion of its strength is derived from absorbing power from other Kaiju. Kafka despite being Human/Kaiju for a short period has been identified as a DaiKaiju that’s only rivaled by No. 9. Further more Kafka during one of his confrontations with No. 9 almost killed it but didn’t because he needed to preserve his secret identity at the time of protect others. At this point currently in the manga Kafka is fighting on par with No. 9 despite in having more experience in using Kaiju abilities as well as the human fighting style Kafka practices that was invented by Isao Shinomiya. The only thing that’s keeping Kafka from outright losing so far is the fusion of the Hoshina family’s sword play with the Shinomiya style. There’s also things NCHammer brings up in this video that we know aren’t true. It’s implied that despite Isao being incredibly strong, and capable he’s by no means the strongest officer in the defense corp. That title goes to Gen Narumi. Hell I’d argue characters like Vice Captain Hoshina, Kikoru, and even Leno are stronger than Isao. Just off the strength that the characters I just mentioned have feats against Identified Kaiju level threats, and can still hold their own. Isao states that because he’s out of his prime he’s not exactly the best of the best anymore. Hell in a flashback one Isao’s friends sees him working out well past lights out, and Isao says the reason he continues to train is so that Gen Narumi won’t surpass him in skill becoming conceded. One of Narumi’s biggest goals is his desire to receive praise from commander Isao.
