One of the greatest things about Kaiju No. 8 is the great Kaiju who not only possess great powers, but are also quite intelligent. There were not many of them in the first season, but they were certainly the highlights whenever they appeared on the screen. Luckily, there will be more great Kaiju in season 2. Some familiar Kaijus will grace the screen once again, but there will be lots of new faces as well. With that in mind, here are the strongest Kaiju set to appear in Season 2.

Potential spoilers for Season 2, proceed with caution.

7 Kaiju No. 10

Turning to the Other Side

  • First Appearance: Episode 8
  • Spawn Location: Above Tachikawa Base

Unlike Kaiju No. 9, Kafka and the good soldiers of the Defense Force successfully defeated Kaiju No. 10 in the first season. And yet this feisty great Kaiju is still clinging on for dear life. That's why he will also make a comeback in season 2. However, he won’t be back as a Kaiju, but rather as a Numbers weapon.

Numbers Weapon are special weapons that were crafted using the corpses of Great Kaijus. Season 2 will showcase the whole process of turning the barely alive Kaiju No. 10 into a formidable Numbers Weapon. Interestingly, he is the only Numbers Weapon that is both sentient and capable of communicating with its user.

6 Kaiju No. 13

An Enhanced Great Kaiju

  • First Appearance: Chapter 68
  • Spawn Location: Tohoku Expressway, Tochigi Prefecture

Unlike his formidable siblings, each gifted with unique powers, Kaiju No. 13 stands out precisely because he has none. He doesn’t have any strange powers, surprising abilities, or any hidden skills. Not only that, his appearance also doesn’t stand out from the rest. He just looks like a bigger version of Kaiju No. 9.

But that doesn’t mean No. 13 is weak. On the contrary, his physical ability is actually way greater than his siblings. He is faster, stronger, and much more agile than his brethren. In a way, No. 13 is the enhanced version of a regular great Kaiju. A true jack of all trades, master of none.

5 Kaiju No. 14

A Monolithic Great Kaiju

  • First Appearance: Chapter 68
  • Spawn Location: In the middle of the Shonan–Shinjuku railway line

Although every Kaiju on this list has their own unique look, especially when it comes to the shape of their heads and bodies, they are still appear in a humanoid form. They have two arms, two legs, and one head, just like a human. The only exception to that rule, however, is Kaiju No. 14. This one looks like a giant monolith.

Kaiju No. 8 has quite a lot of Kaiju in it, which may seem obvious. But, of all the ones that have appeared, which monster reigns supreme?

Kaiju No. 14 looks like a humongous slab of rectangular dark marble with giant human faces glued on its sides. Strange appearance aside, this great Kaiju has quite interesting abilities: teleportation and an energy shield. Despite his gargantuan stature, Kaiju No. 14 can freely teleport to wherever he wants. Not only that, he can also create a super-strong energy shield that can block most beams and bullets.

4 Kaiju No. 11

An Aquatic Great Kaiju

  • First Appearance: Chapter 68
  • Spawn Location: Chigasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture

Kaiju No. 11 may not be the most powerful among the new batch of Great Kaijus that will appear in season 2, but he is undoubtedly the most interesting one of them all simply due to the fact that he has the most unique power out of his siblings. Kaiju No. 11 can manipulate water.

Kaiju Cleaning Companies play an important in the fight against Kaijus, doing everything from cleaning up their mess to recycling their parts.

Kaiju No. 11 can do everything that regular great Kaiju can do, such as causing destruction with his brute strength, altering the shape of his body, and even launching beam attacks. However, No. 11 is the only one who can control a natural element around him. In his case, it’s water. From causing a flash flood to performing Avatar-level water bending, Kaiju No. 11 can use water to demolish everything and everyone on his path.

3 Kaiju No. 12

A Combat Specialist Great Kaiju

  • First Appearance: Chapter 76
  • Spawn Location: Chofu Airport

When you lay your eyes on Kaiju No. 12 for the first time, you’ll see him as the usual muscle-head great Kaiju who will destroy everything with his absurd strength. After all, he is a towering Kaiju with a big, beefy body and muscular arms. While it’s true that a single punch from No. 12 can easily demolish a building, there is more to this big guy than meets the eye.

Believe it or not, Kaiju No. 12 is a close-quarter combat specialist. To be more specific, he is a highly capable swordsman. When he is engaged in a fight, Kaiju No. 12 will turn both of his hands into blades and cut his opponents to pieces. His mastery of the swords, brute strength, and inhuman movements combined to create an incredibly formidable and dangerously powerful Kaiju.

2 Kaiju No. 15

A Mind-Warping Great Kaiju

  • First Appearance: Chapter 68
  • Spawn Location: Shibuya Ward, Tokyo

When it comes to altering one’s body shape, Kaiju No. 15 is the best among her siblings. She can even alter it to the point where she’s indistinguishable from a normal human girl. In addition to the ability to alter her appearance and unleash the usual destructive power of a Great Kaiju, Kaiju No. 15 can also manipulate her opponents' minds.

From reading her enemy’s mind through telepathy to manipulating their memories to creating highly realistic illusions, Kaiju No. 15 can cause all sorts of mental damage to her opponents. These troublesome powers make it extremely difficult to fight No. 15. That’s why it’s no exaggeration to call Kaiju No. 15 the strongest among the new Great Kaiju that will appear in Season 2.

1 Kaiju No. 9

The Great Kaiju Mastermind

Kaiju No 8 Season 2 Kaiju No 9
  • First Appearance: Episode 4
  • Spawn Location: Defense Force Training Area

Kaiju No. 9 appeared quite early on into the first season. In fact, he was the first intelligent Kaiju that appeared in the series. He showed a great curiosity about anything related to humans and tried his best to learn as much as he could about his prey. Not only that he is also quick to adapt to his surroundings to the point of being able to work and live alongside regular humans. This makes him an extremely dangerous enemy of humanity.

Since he was still alive at the end of Season 1, Kaiju No. 9 will make a dramatic comeback in Season 2. His actions will alter the fate of the world and greatly disrupt the essence of the Japanese Defense Force. Furthermore, he will be stronger, smarter, and more dangerous than ever. All things considered, he is undoubtedly the strongest Kaiju on this list.
