A month ahead of the second season premiere, a new trailer for Kaiju No. 8 was revealed, which included a portion of a song appearing over the opening credits.
The song “You Can’t Run From Yourself” by Norwegian singer, songwriter and producer AURORA, was selected as the opening theme, with a sample playing the latest trailer.
Kafka Hibino is reassigned to the First Division intervention by the Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force director Isao Shinomiya. There, Kafka encounters the strongest member in the Defense Forces, First Division captain Gen Narumi, and attempts to impress him with his strength. Simultaneously, Kaiju No. 9 drives its plan forward, aiming to bring the Defense Forces to their knees.
