All episodes that have been broadcast on TV so far will be screened in eight parts. This is the first time that all episodes of the series will be screened in theaters.

The event will also be broadcast at TOHO Cinemas Tachikawa Tachihi and TOHO Cinemas Umeda. Before the final part, which has been decided to be produced, let's take a look back at the past series.
"Monster No. 8" is a story set in Japan, which has one of the highest rates of monster occurrence in the world and is known as a "monster powerhouse." The main character, Kafka Hibino, aspires to join the Japanese Defense Force to subjugate monsters, but once he gives up on that dream, a certain event triggers him to aim for the Japanese Defense Force again. The first season of the anime was aired in 2024, and the second season was aired in 2025.
