But we can't send you in empty-handed,
[10:17] Hoshina
so you'll be wearing these.
[10:23] Kafka
So this is Izumo Tech gear, huh?
[10:25] Haruichi
The G-X4552, huh?
[10:31] Reno
What is this?
[10:33] Reno
Wow...
[10:34] Reno
It's pressing itself up against my body...
[10:37] Gear
Body measurements
and shape adjustment complete.
[10:41] Gear
Kaiju muscle fibers operating normally.
[10:47] Reno
It's becoming one with my body...
[10:50] Reno
I can feel my muscles getting stronger!
[10:52] Reno
It's hot...
[10:54] Reno
So this is...
[10:56] Hoshina
This is a Defense Force Kaiju combat suit.
[10:59] Hoshina
It's made from organic
material taken from Kaiju,
[11:02] Hoshina
and massively multiplies
the combat power of its wearer.
[11:05] Hoshina
For now, there's no better weapon
you have against the Kaiju.
[11:11] Konomi
I'll start measuring the unleashed combat power
of the ones who have their suits on.
SIGN Third Division Operator
SIGN Konomi Okonogi
[11:15] Hoshina
Understood.
[11:16] Konomi
Reno Ichikawa. Unleashed combat power, 8%.
[11:21] Konomi
Haruichi Izumo, 18%.
[11:24] Haruichi
Sounds about right, I guess.
[11:26] Konomi
Aoi Kaguragi, 15%.
[11:29] Aoi
Understood.
[11:30] Konomi
Iharu Furuhashi, 14%.
[11:32] Iharu
What?
[11:33] Hoshina
Unleashed combat power indicates
how much of the suit's power you've drawn out.
[11:38] Hoshina
Even after training,
it's usually around 20%.
[11:41] Konomi
We're lucky to get one
applicant a year above 10%.
[11:46] Hoshina
This year might be a bumper crop
like we've never seen before.
[11:51] Man
Seriously?
[11:53] Konomi
Kikoru Shinomiya...
[11:56] Konomi
Unleashed combat power, 46%!
[12:04] Hoshina
She's already at the level
of a platoon leader.
[12:08] Konomi
The greatest talent in history...
[12:10] Operator A
This has to be a record for anybody
who hasn't officially joined yet...
[12:14] Reno
Just 8%...
[12:16] Hoshina
Oh, there's no reason
to get down, Ichikawa-kun.
[12:19] Hoshina
If you get an 8% on your
first time, you did well.
[12:22] Hoshina
Honestly, if you don't have a zero
at this point, you pass.
[12:26] Hoshina
And I've never even seen a zero!
[12:28] Kafka
Grr!
[12:29] Konomi
Kafka Hibino...
[12:31] Konomi
Unleashed combat power, 0%!
[12:37] Hoshina
What's wrong with him?
[12:39] Hoshina
Wow, he's my first zero!
[12:40] Konomi
Huh? Are the measurements wrong?
[12:43] Kafka
Just give me a little more time!
[12:45] Kafka
I'm trying to squeeze it out!
[12:49] Hoshina
You're not trying to take a dump!
[12:50] Hoshina
You can't squeeze it out!
[12:53] Hoshina
Wow, the old guy is hilarious!
[12:56] Hoshina
I like him!
[12:58] Hoshina
He probably won't pass, though.
[12:59] Konomi
Take your proctoring job seriously!
[13:02] Kafka
Why?
[13:04] Kafka
Damn it! There's got to be some trick!
[13:07] Kafka
I need to figure it out
before the exam ends!
[13:10] Reno
You're pissing me off, Hibino Kafka.
[13:14] Reno
Show the power I saw
in the parking lot already!
[13:17] Reno
The exam's almost over!
[13:22] Hoshina
Okay, now that you're all in your suits...
[13:27] Hoshina
Let's start the final test.
SIGN Defense Force Screening Exam Final Test
[13:38] Hoshina
I'll explain the test.
[13:40] Hoshina
Your targets are a Honju and 36 Yoju
[13:43] Hoshina
that have been placed throughout
the urban training area.
[13:48] Hoshina
These Kaiju caused sixteen
fatalities in Hachioji last year.
[13:51] Hoshina
We captured them alive
to serve as training aids.
[13:54] Hoshina
You're going to fight them
with anti-Kaiju weapons.
[14:00] Hoshina
You'll all be tracked with a drone
that will monitor your actions.
[14:05] Hoshina
If we decide your life is in danger,
[14:08] Hoshina
we'll remotely activate
the shield on your suit,
[14:11] Hoshina
but be aware this will mean you fail.
[14:18] Hoshina
To be honest, I can't guarantee
you'll survive this next part.
[14:22] Hoshina
Only if you're willing
to accept that, then...
[14:26] Hoshina
Go.
[14:34] Iharu
What the hell?
[14:45] Konomi
Yoju 12 down.
[14:50] Konomi
Yoju 03 down.
[14:54] Konomi
Wow...
[14:56] Kafka
Damn it! Let's get going too!
[14:58] Kafka
Don't fall behind, Ichikawa!
[15:00] Reno
That's my line!
[15:02] Kafka
This equipment is incredibly heavy
without the suit helping you!
[15:06] Kafka
Only I, the zero, can understand this!
[15:09] Reno
Don't make it sound cool!
[15:11] Reno
But what do we do?
[15:13] Reno
We don't have that kind of offensive power.
[15:15] Hoshina
Oh, I forgot.
[15:19] Hoshina
Captain Mina Ashiro is here
for the test as well.
[15:23] Hoshina
Do your best to look good for her.
[15:27] Kafka
Let's see who can be
a cooler Defense Force officer!
[15:30] Kafka
That's right...
[15:32] Kafka
Who cares if I'm a zero?
[15:35] Kafka
Calm down. This is your last chance.
[15:41] Kafka
Ichikawa.
[15:43] Kafka
Why are the examining officers
following us all with drones?
[15:49] Reno
True... If all they cared about
was how many Kaiju you killed,
[15:53] Reno
they could just track
that number with sensors.
[15:56] Kafka
Yup.
[15:57] Kafka
They're testing our abilities,
but also how we can adapt to the situation.
[16:02] Reno
Which means since we lack that kind of
offensive capability, we should...
[16:07] Kafka
Yup!
[16:10] Kafka
Support all the attackers as best we can!
[16:13] Reno
Right!
[16:18] Man
Damn it!
[16:19] Reno
Senpai! Engagement to our right!
[16:21] Kafka
Okay! Go around from the side
and provide support!
[16:35] Kafka
Those hooves...
[16:38] Kafka
I know this guy!
[16:40] Kafka
The one we did a joint
disposal of with Iida Cleaners!
[16:43] Kafka
So that's why they included
these in our equipment...
[16:52] Kafka
Eat this!
[17:03] Reno
A stun grenade?
[17:05] Kafka
It's got weak eyesight
but incredibly good hearing!
[17:09] Kafka
Once you've deafened them,
they're easy targets!
[17:13] Kafka
The stomach!
[17:14] Kafka
The skin on its stomach
is weaker than most Kaiju!
[17:18] Kafka
Aim for the stomach!
[17:19] Haruichi
What?
[17:34] Haruichi
Thanks for the support, Shinomiya groupie!
[17:37] Kafka
I am not a groupie!
[17:48] Reno
We did it, Senpai!
[17:50] Kafka
Yeah, we've taken apart more
Kaiju bodies than we can count!
[17:54] Kafka
We know you guys inside and out!
[17:58] Kafka
I can do this!
[18:00] Kafka
I don't have to use my Kaiju power!
[18:02] Kafka
I'll make up for all my screw-ups!
[18:06] Reno
I'll throw the next one!
[18:08] Reno
Let's keep it up!
[18:21] Reno
Another one?
[18:26] Reno
Senpai!
[18:28] Konomi
Area Delta, Number 2032 injured.
[18:31] Konomi
Irregularities detected in vitals.
He's unable to continue combat.
[18:34] Konomi
Yoju 23 is continuing to approach.
[18:37] Hoshina
Prepare the remote shield.
[18:42] Kafka
Oww...
[18:45] Kafka
Crap.
[18:46] Kafka
They're gonna put the shield up...
[18:49] Hoshina
...but be aware this will mean you fail.
[18:54] Kafka
Stand up...
[18:56] Kafka
She's...
[18:58] Kafka
She's watching!
[19:01] Kafka
I can't embarrass myself
in front of her anymore!
[19:06] Konomi
Activating remote shield!
[19:09] Hoshina
Figured he'd be the first to drop out.
[19:13] Hoshina
He was a funny guy... Too bad.
[19:28] Kikoru
That's the third time, Kafka Hibino.
[19:34] Kikoru
When I'm on the battlefield,
nobody gets to quit.
[19:38] Kafka
Kikoru! You saved me!
[19:40] Kikoru
I'll go defeat the rest of them,
[19:43] Kikoru
so you just lie on the ground like a loser.
[19:50] Haruichi
She's going after the main target?
[19:52] Iharu
I'll take it out first!
[19:57] Kikoru
Better pay attention!
[20:00] Iharu
She's so much more powerful!
[20:02] Iharu
Is that really the same equipment we've got?
[20:04] Aoi
So your unleashed combat power makes
that much of a difference, huh?
[20:08] Kafka
Damn it... I'll go too!
[20:11] Reno
Senpai!
[20:13] Kafka
It's broken?
[20:14] Kafka
I can't stand up!
[20:16] Hoshina
2032, can you hear me?
[20:19] Hoshina
This is Hoshina in the operation room.
[20:22] Hoshina
We're seeing irregularities in your vitals.
[20:25] Hoshina
Multiple fractures, probably.
[20:28] Hoshina
Possibly organ damage.
[20:32] Kafka
No...
[20:36] Kafka
Do I have to give up?
[20:39] Kafka
No... while there's still a chance, I'll...
[20:54] Kafka
I'll never be able to stand by her side...
[21:04] Kafka
It's always the ones with talent who pass...
[21:11] Hoshina
As the exam proctor,
I recommend you drop out.
[21:15] Hoshina
Even those shields aren't perfect.
[21:22] Kafka
I'm the one who decides if I give up or not.
[21:27] Reno
Senpai.
[21:29] Kafka
I'm too old for dreams...
[21:38] Kafka
I know I look like an idiot, but...
[21:44] Kafka
I've decided to bet my
whole life up to this point
[21:49] Kafka
and chase my dreams again!

Well, if that's your choice.

Huh? Oh.
[05:30] Hoshina
That was even faster than I thought.
[05:33] Hoshina
It was so much work to set this all up, too.

Kikoru Shinomiya's even more
powerful than the rumors say.
[05:39] Hoshina
So she's enough to catch even your eye, huh?

I'd imagined we'd see
about thirty people drop out.
[05:45] Hoshina
But nobody did.
[05:46] Hoshina
And with only minimal injuries.
[05:48] Hoshina
And it's clearly all thanks to her.
[05:53] Hoshina
That's what you'd expect to see

She'll be a big shot in the Defense Force
someday, that's for sure.

[13:59] Reno
No, he'll do it!
[14:01] Reno
At times like this,
he doesn't hesitate at all...
[14:06] Kikoru
What?
[14:08] Kikoru
What's going on?
[14:10] Kikoru
You're a Kaiju?
[14:15] Kafka
Kikoru.
[14:18] Kafka
Please! Please!
[14:19] Kafka
Please don't tell
the Defense Force about this!
[14:21] Kafka
Please!
[14:33] Kafka
I'll tell you more in a bit.
[14:36] Kafka
I only need a sec to kick this thing's ass.
[14:38] Kafka
So just relax and get some rest.
[14:42] Konomi
I'm detecting a mysterious ultra-powerful
energy source near the Honju!
[14:45] Konomi
It might be a new Kaiju!
[14:47] Mina
Another one?
[14:48] Hoshina
Do we have visual?
[14:50] Konomi
The explosion knocked out our comms network.
[14:52] Konomi
We do not have visual.
[14:53] Konomi
Wait, is this number right?
[14:57] Konomi
Fortitude 9.8?
[14:59] Hoshina
Impossible.
[15:01] Hoshina
The blast must've scrambled
the measurement system.
[15:03] Konomi
R-Right?
[15:05] Hoshina
Otherwise it'd be one of
the most powerful Kaiju in history!
[15:19] Kafka
Sorry. I'm running out of time here.
[15:22] Kafka
So I'm cleaning you up...
[15:28] Kafka
with one punch!
[16:05] Kafka
Let's see you come back to life after that!
[16:12] Kafka
N-No! Just kidding!
[16:14] Kafka
Please don't come back to life!
[16:20] Kafka
Don't scare me like that!
[16:23] Kikoru
Who is this guy?
[16:31] Kikoru
A Yoju?
[16:32] Kafka
Looks like you'll be okay.
[16:40] Kafka
I'm glad you're safe!
[16:44] Kafka
But let me say one thing.
[16:48] Kafka
You can't put yourself in danger like that!
[16:51] Reno
You too!
[16:53] Kafka
Ichikawa! What are you doing here?
[16:56] Reno
You ran off while my back was turned,
[16:58] Reno
and sure enough,
I find you here, transformed!
[17:00] Kafka
I was thinking maybe I could
just transform a part of my body.
[17:04] Kafka
But when I saw the Honju
I was like, "No way!"
[17:06] Reno
You need to be more careful!
[17:10] Reno
Shinomiya!
[17:16] Hoshina
Ashiro and Hoshina have
arrived at the scene.
[17:20] Hoshina
What is this?
[17:22] Hoshina
What would you have to do to cause this?
[17:27] Hoshina
I've seen this before somewhere...
[17:31] Tae
Captain Ashiro, I can't
find any of the examinees.
[17:34] Konomi
This is the operation room.
[17:36] Konomi
An additional three examinees
have arrived at Shelter 6.
[17:41] Konomi
It's Kikoru Shinomiya,
Reno Ichikawa, and Kafka Hibino.
[17:46] Hoshina
They're safe, huh?
[17:48] Konomi
All examinees are now accounted for.
[17:51] Mina
Roger.
[17:54] Hoshina
I'll admit that Kikoru Shinomiya is strong,
[17:57] Hoshina
but she can't have done this...
[18:00] Mina
The Kaiju coming back to life,
and then this blast zone...
[18:04] Mina
There's a lot we don't understand.
[18:07] Mina
Bring in an investigation unit
and a disposal unit.
[18:09] Mina
Hoshina and I will wipe out
the remaining Yoju.
[18:12] Tae
Roger.
[18:15] Hoshina
It's like what we saw three months ago...
[18:20] Hoshina
Are they linked in some way?
[18:24] Reno
I'm glad to see you're not
as badly hurt as I thought.
[18:27] Kafka
I'm back in the hospital...
[18:29] Reno
Shinomiya's condition is looking good, too.
[18:32] Reno
They're using the Defense Force's
best tech to treat her, supposedly.
[18:36] Kafka
Why does she get better treatment?
Let me in on that!
[18:39] Kafka
Oww!
[18:40] Reno
'Cause you only have a few fractures.
[18:44] Kafka
It was all over so fast.
[18:47] Kafka
It's been ages since I went up
against people so incredible,
[18:50] Kafka
and it reminded me...
[18:52] Kafka
Chasing your dreams means
there's always someone out there
[18:57] Kafka
who's beating you
at the thing you care about most.
[19:01] Reno
Senpai...
[19:04] Kafka
But it's also so exciting
that you don't really care!
[19:09] Kafka
It helped me remember that!
[19:11] Kafka
And I have you to thank for encouraging me.
[19:14] Kafka
Thanks, Ichikawa.
[19:19] Reno
Captain Ashiro?
[19:21] Reno
What are you doing here?
[19:24] Mina
I'm told you carried
Shinomiya to the shelter.
[19:29] Mina
Thank you for your help in rescuing her.
[19:32] Mina
Goodbye.
[19:34] Kafka
Mi...
[19:36] Kafka
No, not yet.
[19:39] Kafka
I'll talk to her after I become an officer!
[19:47] Kafka
Just watch me, Mina!

Daddy, I couldn't be perfect...

Oh, just stay there.

[20:19] Hoshina
We dealt with all the Kaiju that revived.
[20:22] Hoshina
Fortunately, nobody was killed
[20:25] Hoshina
thanks to you taking down the Honju.
[20:30] Hoshina
Is that not what happened?

He scored the lowest on the fitness exam

so there's not much to talk about.
[06:28] Nakanoshima
Yeah, sounds about right to me.
[06:35] Mina
I don't—
[06:35] Hoshino
All righty, I'll take him, then.
[06:38] Hoshino
Sure, his numbers are below average.
[06:41] Hoshino
He doesn't have what it takes
to be an officer.
[06:44] Hoshino
But in actual combat during the last exam,
[06:46] Hoshino
he was able to locate
the enemy's weak points,
[06:48] Hoshino
and he also aided the overall effort
[06:50] Hoshino
by prioritizing helping others
over his own kill count.
[06:53] Hoshino
Not many people are capable of that.
[06:55] Hoshino
And more than anything...
[06:57] Hoshino
The dude was funny as hell.
[07:00] Komaki
Is that really all you care about?
[07:02] Hoshino
I'm not sure if we'll ever
promote him to a full officer,
[07:05] Hoshino
but I'll bring him into my platoon as a
cadet and give him some more training.
[07:11] Mina
He's being enrolled as a cadet,
[07:14] Mina
so I had him sit out the induction ceremony.
[07:16] Kikoru
Glad to hear it, Kafka Hibino.
[07:19] Haruichi
So I was right. He did pass.

As a cadet, though.

coming back from the dead,

You ate a Kaiju and turned into one?
[10:22] Kikoru

God, you're such a glutton.
[10:25] Kafka
I didn't mean to eat it!
[10:26] Reno
You're both way too loud!
[10:28] Kafka
I think we could just tell
the Defense Force, you know.
[10:33] Kafka
They might be able to cure me!
[10:35] Kikoru
Not a chance.
[10:37] Kikoru
Even if they don't kill you outright,
[10:39] Kikoru
you'll spend every day being tested
and doing experiments.
[10:42] Kikoru
You'll never be a defense officer.
[10:44] Kafka
Really?!
[10:47] Kikoru
And when a Kaiju's powerful
enough to get a number,
[10:50] Kikoru
I've heard they use its body as parts
for a special weapon after they defeat it.
[10:54] Kikoru
It's possible that'll happen to you.
[10:57] Kikoru
Kikoru, please! Please
keep this our little secret!

a Kaiju that's going to harm mankind,

[14:28] Iharu
Looks like you need to build
up some more muscle, Reno.
[14:31] Reno
No, yours aren't that
much different than mine.
[14:34] Reno
Our fitness eval scores are always the same.
[14:37] Iharu
Are you serious? Look at these biceps!
[14:41] Reno
They look like they're just for show to me.
[14:43] Haruichi
Reno's more stubborn than I thought.
[14:47] Kafka
Quit bickering over stupid stuff, kids.

That's very rude, Iharu-kun.
[15:08] Kafka
It'll happen to you too
when you hit 28 or so!
[15:12] Kafka
I've actually lost a ton of weight!

Okay, let me just set a towel down here...
[15:22] Aoi
Huh. It's awful noisy tonight.
[15:32] Aoi
What's wrong?
[15:33] Iharu
We were just talking about
how scrawny we all were.
[15:36] Reno
Just what you'd expect
from a former military officer.
[15:44] Iharu
What matters isn't your muscles!
Right, Reno?
[15:46] Kafka
You know, it's been a while
since I've done anything like this.
[15:47] Reno
Yes, what matters is your results!
[15:50] Iharu
I'll outdo you in training tomorrow!
[15:51] Reno
You won't beat me!

It's about time for me to head out.
[16:06] All
Thank you!

Are you feeling all better?
[16:13] Kikoru
Yes. I'm fine now, thank you.
[16:18] Kikoru
Wow...
[16:19] Kikoru
She's got good muscles,
and just the right amount too.
[16:22] Kikoru
But that's not enough
to explain her combat power.
[16:26] Mina
What?
[16:27] Kikoru
I was wondering how you got those muscles...
[16:31] Kikoru
I mean, what kind of training you did.
[16:35] Mina
Stand next to me.
[16:37] Mina
I'll show you the basics.
[16:40] Kikoru
Here?
[16:44] Kikoru
Th-Thank you!
[16:55] Iharu
So why'd you guys all decide to join up?
[17:00] Haruichi
If you want to ask other people,
you should start by giving your own reasons.
[17:04] Iharu
For me, it's definitely Captain Ashiro.
[17:09] Iharu
She saved me when I was in middle school,
and I've always wanted to be like her!
[17:19] Iharu
What about you guys?
[17:21] Haruichi
Part of it's my family,
[17:22] Haruichi
but something similar, I think.
[17:24] Haruichi
My goal is Captain Ashiro.
[17:26] Aoi
Same here.
[17:27] Men
That poster of Captain Ashiro was so cool.
[17:30] Men
And she was so awesome in that documentary!
[17:34] Kafka
Mina's really inspired a lot of people, huh?
[17:36] Reno
She's our generation's superhero.
[17:39] Iharu
So what's your story, old dude?
[17:43] Kafka
Well, I...
[17:46] Iharu
What?!
[17:47] Iharu
Captain A-Ashiro is...
[17:49] Aoi
...your childhood friend?
[17:51] Kafka
Y-Yeah.
[17:52] Iharu
And you both promised
to join the Defense Force?
[17:55] Iharu
Like a "childhood promise" kinda thing?
[17:58] Kafka
Well, I think I've had enough...
[18:01] All
Wait.
[18:06] All
Let's hear the rest of that story.
[18:09] Kafka
Oh, well, she was born on a very sunny day...
[18:13] Kafka
She's always liked squid.
[18:16] Aoi
That's surprising!

She took care of the class

You were telling everyone
in the bath, right?
[20:49] Hoshina
Assume every word you say
in this dorm will be recorded.
[20:53] Kafka
Scary!
[20:56] Kafka
I promised I'd fight by her side!
[21:00] Hoshina
Oh, you know I could interpret that as saying
you're going to steal my vice-captain spot.
[21:06] Kafka
I didn't mean it like that...
[21:09] Kafka
No.
[21:12] Kafka
I do mean it. I'll do my best
to make it happen.
[21:14] Hoshina
Hmph.

happen to any one of them at any time.

Fortunately, the neutralization area

I've located the Yoju core.
[13:52] Hoshina
What?

It's at the base of the neck,
[13:54] Kafka
but there are hard, fibrous muscles on top
of it that serve as its backbone.
[13:59] Kafka
Officers with weaker attack power
might need to hit them from the sides.
[14:04] Kafka
And there's one more thing.
This one's important.
[14:08] Kafka
The Yoju have reproductive organs too.
[14:12] Kafka

[14:15] Kafka
If we don't destroy those organs,
their corpses might spawn new Yoju.

[17:42] Kafka
She's incredible!
[17:45] Hoshina
Feel like giving up?
[17:51] Hoshina
Standing by her side means matching
that kind of strength.
[17:57] Kafka
And can you do that, Vice-Captain Hoshina?
[18:02] Hoshina
Not a chance!
[18:03] Kafka
Not a chance?!
[18:05] Hoshina
My unleashed combat power isn't as good
when it comes to the long-range guns,
[18:09] Hoshina
so I'm not as capable of
taking down the big boys as she is.
[18:12] Hoshina
But when it comes to the smaller
and mid-sized enemies...
[18:17] Kafka
Vice-Captain! Behind you!
[18:23] Hoshina
I think I'm a bit better than she is.
[18:28] Kafka
A katana?
[18:30] Kafka
It was so fast I couldn't see it at all!
[18:33] Hoshina
My family's been a clan of Kaiju-hunters
since the days of the Muromachi period.
[18:37] Hoshina
I'm much better at this stuff.
[18:41] Hoshina
A captain and vice-captain are
the force's most powerful members.
[18:46] Hoshina
We each get special equipment
tailored to our fighting styles.
[18:54] Mina
Hoshina, the Honju's down.
[18:56] Hoshina
Roger.
[18:57] Hoshina
That's enough chatting.
The real show's about to start.
[19:01] Kafka
But she just said she took down the Honju...
[19:03] Hoshina
I told you during the briefing.
[19:05] Hoshina
The problem is the countless Yoju it creates.
[19:09] Hoshina
We killed the Honju, but the Yoju
are still alive inside its corpse...
[19:14] Mina
Just like I thought.
[19:17] Mina
Here they come.
[19:20] Hoshina
...and are going to come swarming out.
[19:35] Hoshina
All right, guys! We're wrapping up here.
[19:38] Hoshina
Once we're done cleaning up the riff-raff,
[19:40] Hoshina
we can all go home
and have a yummy breakfast.
[19:42] Iharu
Cleaning up the riff-raff?
He makes it sound so easy.
[19:48] Officer
Wimpin' out already, recruits?
[19:50] Officer
Looks like you need to work on your stamina!
[19:52] Officer
All right, guys!
[19:54] Officer
Let's show them that there's more to
fighting than your unleashed combat power!
[19:58] All
Right!
[19:59] Nakanoshima
Hey, you two.
[20:01] Haruichi
Platoon Leader Nakanoshima.
[20:03] Nakanoshima
You're free to rest and let
the veterans do the work, you know.
[20:07] Nakanoshima
What'll it be?
[20:11] Both
We'll fight, obviously!
SIGN Deployed Officers Status
[20:17] Konomi
The new recruits are tired.
[20:20] Konomi
Their unleashed combat power
and endurance are both falling.
[20:23] Hoshina
It's a big neutralization to have
for their first mission.
[20:27] Hoshina
But if they can make it through this,
it'll take them to the next level.
[20:32] Hoshina
Most officers end their careers with
[20:35] Hoshina
unleashed combat power
topping out at around 20% to 30%,
[20:40] Hoshina
but a very small number of them will
overcome that wall and become captains.
[20:47] Hoshina
Right now, the only one of the new recruits
to reach that level is Kikoru Shinomiya.
[20:51] Hoshina
But there might be one more...
[20:56] Hoshina
I think Reno Ichikawa
might be up for it as well.
[21:03] Iharu
Damn it.
[21:04] Iharu
I spent five years in technical
college training every day!
[21:08] Iharu
Why can't I keep up with him?
[21:12] Reno
Iharu-kun.
[21:14] Reno
I don't think there are any more Yoju here.
[21:16] Iharu
Yeah, looks like you're right.
[21:19] Konomi

They're here. Let's return

Right.

Aww, this one's no good either.
[21:52] Takamichi
The reproductive organs I loaded
them with have been destroyed.
[21:56] Takamichi

[00:01] Hoshina
Time for your big debut.
[00:04] Kafka
Vice-Captain Hoshina,
I've located the Yoju core.
[00:07] Hoshina
What?
[00:08] Kafka
It's at the base of the neck.
[00:10] Kafka
And there's one more thing.
This one's important.
[00:13] Kafka
The Yoju have reproductive organs too.
[00:16] Kafka
If we don't destroy those organs,
their corpses might spawn new Yoju.
[00:21] Mina
Target sighted.
[00:23] Mina
No additional targets in area.
[00:26] Konomi
Roger.
[00:27] Konomi
You are cleared to fire.
[00:31] Mina
Fire.
[00:34] Hoshina
Watch this one closely, Kafka.
[00:37] Hoshina
That's the power of the person
you're trying to stand beside.
[00:42] Konomi
Honju has taken critical damage
and has stopped moving entirely.
[00:45] Mina
Just like I thought.
[00:48] Hoshina
We killed the Honju, but the Yoju
are still alive inside its corpse...
[00:52] Hoshina
and are going to come swarming out.
[00:59] Iharu
Hey, you didn't hear the alarm?
[01:02] Iharu
The cleanup crew

[01:05] Takamichi
Aww, this one's no good either.

I can see why they called every

Hey, did you see the new guy?
[03:05] Toku
You don't think he's locked himself

[03:09] Mitsuike
Want me to go get him?
[03:11] Toku
Thanks.
[03:13] Iharu
Hey, look.
[03:15] Iharu
This place is still dangerous.
Stay out of here until we give the all clear.
[03:24] Reno
Move, Iharu-kun!
[03:29] Takamichi
Oh, I missed your heart, huh?
[03:33] Takamichi
I guess I'm not as accurate in this form.
[03:38] Reno
Iharu-kun!
[03:39] Iharu
The bleeding won't stop!
[03:41] Reno
Calm down and use your suit
to stop the bleeding!
[03:44] Iharu
Who the hell are you?
[03:46] Reno
A Kaiju?
[03:48] Reno
The only humanoid Kaiju
I know that's not Senpai is...
[03:56] Reno
the one from the exam!
[03:59] Iharu
This is the one that took down Shinomiya?
[04:02] Reno
I think so.
[04:04] No. 9
Well, I don't want to
just return empty-handed.
[04:08] No. 9
Maybe I can at least take home
a live sample of a Defense Force officer.
[04:15] Reno
Platoon Leader Ikaruga,
we've encountered a humanoid Kaiju.
[04:18] Reno
Send backup immediately!
[04:20] Reno
Platoon Leader!
[04:21] Reno
No...
[04:23] No. 9
Oh, right. Your communicator thingies.
[04:25] No. 9
I've figured those out.
[04:28] No. 9
This area is completely undetectable
from the outside world.
[04:32] No. 9
I came up with this trick to
help me stay hidden among humans,
[04:36] No. 9
but it works well for
hunting humans too, you know.
[04:42] Iharu
Reno!
[04:47] No. 9
Huh? I'm not quite hitting my targets.
[04:54] Reno
He's breaking right
through my suit's shields.
[04:57] Reno
But...
[04:59] No. 9
Oh, I get it. You see it, don't you?
[05:04] Shinomiya
Oh, right.
[05:06] Shinomiya
Let me tell you this just
in case you ever run into him.
[05:09] Shinomiya
At first it looks like he's using
some kind of magic or something...
[05:13] Shinomiya
But watch his fingers closely.
[05:15] Shinomiya
You'll see him prepare for the attack.
[05:21] Reno
I can dodge them!
[05:23] Iharu
He dodged it!
[05:25] No. 9
So I was right.
[05:34] Reno
Get out of here and call for backup.
[05:37] Iharu
Why do I have to let you protect me?
[05:46] Iharu
Oww!
[05:49] Reno
Iharu-kun!
[05:50] Reno
Go, please.
[06:09] Reno
I'm scared.
[06:11] Reno
Even Shinomiya didn't stand
a chance against him,
[06:14] Reno
so I sure as hell don't.
[06:17] Reno
But...
[06:18] Reno
The Defense Force officer I want to be...
[06:21] Kafka
Ichikawa, run!
[06:23] Kafka
Once you're sure you're safe, call it in!
[06:26] Reno
...is a man who would put his life
on the line for his buddies like this!
[06:37] Reno
I can at least buy enough time
for Iharu-kun to get out of here!
[06:42] Iharu
Reno's a totally different guy
than he was yesterday!
[06:45] Iharu
What happened to him?
[06:47] Iharu
How can he fight that thing?
[06:52] Iharu
Damn it! Damn it all!
[06:54] Iharu
I hate this! I hate it!
[06:58] Hoshina
You'll hit a wall unleashing your combat power.
[07:01] Hoshina
Usually around 20% to 30%.
[07:04] Hoshina
Only a very few people can scale that wall,
[07:07] Hoshina
but everyone has the
potential within them to do it.
[07:11] Hoshina
If you just assume you'll pass
and don't put in the effort, you never will.
[07:11] Iharu
I've been stuck at 20% for almost two weeks.
[07:16] Iharu
Ever since that day, I've thought
of nothing but getting stronger.
[07:22] Iharu
But he...
[07:24] Iharu
But he...
[07:27] Iharu
He surpassed me like it was nothing!
[07:34] Iharu
And I hate it!

You seem to know a few things about me.
[07:48] No. 9
But you don't know about this one, do you?
[08:02] No. 9
Huh?
[08:06] Reno
Iharu-kun? Why?
[08:09] Iharu
No... What I hate isn't Reno.
[08:14] Iharu
It's me... the guy who
hasn't changed a bit since that day.
[08:18] Iharu
The guy who always needs
somebody else to save him!
[08:25] Iharu
Listen, Reno. You ain't saving me.
[08:31] Iharu
I'm saving you, dumbass.

Gotta fight, then.

Let's take him down together, Reno!
[09:14] Iharu
I ain't doing so good, though.

So hit him as hard as you can!

Let's go, Reno!

[09:33] Iharu
You aren't the only one who's
trying all the different bullets!
[09:37] No. 9

[09:39] No. 9
Guess I'll stop him first.

You've already taken a hit from him once.
You know how the timing works!

Please, God... just this once...
just this one moment...

Give me more power
than Shinomiya or Captain Ashiro!

Oh...
[10:40] No. 9
From the look of it...
[10:45] No. 9
I guess you're screwed, huh?

[11:05] Ikaruga
We've lost contact

What?

I'm still alive!
[11:50] Reno
The battle's not over!
[11:57] No. 9
You can still move, huh?
[11:59] No. 9
It's surprisingly hard to halt a human's
motor functions without killing them.
[12:05] Iharu
No you don't!
[12:12] No. 9
I've seen that trick already.
[12:19] No. 9
Now, time to wrap this up.
[12:28] No. 9
Would this be too weak?
[12:34] Reno
Damn it...
[12:35] No. 9
You can still move, huh?
[12:36] Reno
Damn it!
[12:37] No. 9
Well, how about this?
[12:44] Iharu
My comrade's getting hurt
right in front of me...
[12:47] Iharu
and I can't do a thing to stop it?
[12:51] Iharu
I hate it...
[12:54] Iharu
I hate to admit it...
[12:57] Iharu
But Reno is incredible!
[13:00] Iharu
He'll become a captain someday!
[13:04] Iharu
I won't let it end for him here!
[13:13] No. 9
I'm about done with him,
so I don't need you anymore.
[13:26] Iharu
Please, God...
[13:29] Iharu
Or a demon or the devil
himself... I don't care.
[13:35] Iharu
Save Reno...
[13:39] Iharu
Save my friend!
[13:45] No. 9
Go ahead and die now.
[13:50] Kafka
The only one dying here is you, asshole.
[13:59] No. 9
What just happened?
[14:03] No. 9
I can see my own torso...?
[14:07] No. 9
Oh, my head got knocked off!
[14:14] Kafka
Sorry I'm late.
[14:19] Reno
I'm so weak...
[14:22] Reno
I wanted so bad...
to stop this from happening.
[14:28] Reno
But in the end... I made him
transform one more time.
[14:37] Iharu

[14:44] No. 9
Oh, so that's you, huh?
[14:48] No. 9
You're...

[14:58] Kafka
Sorry, Ichikawa. Looks like
it's gonna take a little longer.
[15:03] Reno
No...
[15:04] Kafka
It'll be fine.
[15:06] Kafka
Just calm down. Have the suit
close the wounds one by one.
[15:11] Kafka
I guess you don't need a lecture
from me on that, huh?
[15:15] Kafka
I can't even do it.
[15:24] Reno

[15:26] Reno
Be careful.
[15:28] Kafka
Yeah.
[15:29] Kafka
Just let me handle this.
[15:32] Reno
I know he's strong,
[15:36] Reno
but I've got a bad feeling...
[15:40] No. 9
Not that I'm mad or anything,
[15:42] No. 9
but why are you getting in my
way when you're a Kaiju, too?
[15:45] No. 9
And also, you're a lot stronger
than I thought you were.
[15:50] No. 9
I'd like to have your corpse
so I can use it.

If I'm gonna kill you...

with us seriously at all?!

You're going to find Reno and Iharu?

Damn it! I've got no choice
but to get out of here myself!

He got away!
[20:15] Officers
Help the wounded!

Good.
[20:19] Kafka
I let the humanoid type get away,
but I did what I set out to do.

Looks like you've been
having some fun with my men.
[21:05] Reno
No, Vice-Captain Hoshina...

That person is...
[21:24] Hoshina
But when it comes to the smaller
and mid-sized enemies...
[21:26] Hoshina
I think I'm a bit better than she is.
[21:29] Kafka
He wasn't bluffing!
[21:32] Kafka
He's got a lot of experience
fighting smaller Kaiju!
[21:35] Hoshina
Well, you're a tough one.
[21:37] Hoshina
I'm pretty sure I landed
at least a few hits.
[21:40] Kafka
I've only ever seen him
with that grin on his face.
[21:44] Kafka
But this is...
[21:45] Hoshina
Time to stop messing around, then.
[21:48] Kafka
This is what Vice-Captain Hoshina
looks like when he's killing Kaiju!
[21:52] Hoshina
Requesting permission to remove limiter.

SIGN Episode 8 Welcome to the Defense Force
[01:40] Hoshina
I'll be the one to...
[01:48] Kafka
What do I do?
[01:50] Kafka
I can't use my fists against
Vice-Captain Hoshina!
[02:02] Hoshina
That seemed to work.
[02:04] Kafka
No, I won't survive this
if I try to hold back!
[02:17] Kafka
He's so quick, I can't harden my body
to protect myself fast enough!
[02:22] Kafka
He may not be stronger, but he's a hell
of a lot faster than the humanoid Kaiju!
[02:27] Kafka
The first time I saw Kikoru move,
I thought she was incredible.
[02:32] Kafka
But...
[02:33] Kafka
He's on a whole other level!
[02:37] Kafka
He's not even moving like a human!
[02:44] Kafka
I dodged that!
[02:45] Kafka
What is this? Some kind of
slashing attack I can't see?
[02:48] Hoshina
Core located.
[02:58] Kafka
Not that I'm human, either.
[03:02] Kafka
Now that I've done it, I can tell that
regenerating uses a lot of my stamina!
[03:07] Kafka
I can't take too many hits like that!
[03:10] Hoshina
Wait, seriously?
[03:12] Hoshina
I'm not exactly joking around here.
[03:15] Hoshina
He's probably at least Fortitude 8.0.
[03:19] Hoshina
That'd make him a Daikaiju.
[03:23] Hoshina
But what's this weird feeling
I'm getting from this fight?
[03:29] Hoshina
Well, it doesn't matter.
[03:47] Kafka
Those invisible slashes...
[03:48] Kafka
And a double attack!
[03:53] Kafka
No.
[03:54] Kafka
The double attack was a decoy!
[03:57] Hoshina
Mist Slasher.
[03:58] Kafka
A triple attack?!
[04:00] Hoshina
Gotcha.
[04:03] Hoshina
The blade...
[04:04] Hoshina
The blade's stuck!
[04:07] Kafka
That was close.
[04:08] Kafka
That was stronger than I expected, but...
[04:12] Kafka
After he saw my core,
I knew he'd aim for me there!
[04:16] Hoshina
No!
[04:37] Hoshina
Yikes. I let it get away.
[04:44] Hoshina
Reporting.
[04:47] Hoshina
Kaiju No. 8 has escaped.
[05:02] Kikoru
Kaiju No. 8.
[05:04] Kikoru
Kafka Hibino.
[05:06] Kafka
Now leave the rest to me!
[05:22] Kikoru
Is it really okay for me to believe in him?
[05:32] Kafka
I'm back...
[05:36] Kafka
Sorry, I must've worried you.
[05:39] Kikoru
I wasn't worried!
[05:41] Kikoru
And I have more than
a thing or two to say to you...
[05:45] Kikoru
Hey!
[05:50] Kafka
Sorry... I let it get away.
[05:54] Kafka
The one who hurt you...
[05:57] Kikoru
I-I don't care.
[06:00] Kikoru
I'll kill it myself.
[06:04] Kikoru
Hey, where are you going?
You're in terrible shape.
[06:08] Kafka
Ichikawa and Iharu were
horribly injured... I have to go.
[06:15] Kikoru
And even if you went, what could you do?
[06:18] Kikoru
They'll be fine.
[06:21] Kikoru
The Defense Force is starting to
use Kaiju regeneration in its tech, too.
[06:26] Kikoru
You should worry about yourself instead!
[06:29] Kikoru
Not only did the other officers see you,
you made contact with Vice-Captain Hoshina!
[06:33] Kikoru
They could easily find some clue
that leads straight to you!
[06:53] Mina
It's rare to see you this down.
[06:57] Hoshina
Cripes. You've caught me in
a really embarrassing spot.
[07:00] Mina
I'll take a photo to remember it by.
[07:02] Hoshina
Please don't!
[07:05] Mina
So, was Kaiju No. 8 strong?
[07:10] Hoshina
I'm assuming it's a Daikaiju.
[07:15] Mina
That would make it the first one
since Fukuoka five years ago.
[07:20] Hoshina
Fortunately, there've been no casualties
due to No. 8 these past few months.
[07:24] Hoshina
It doesn't seem to be the type
to attack people indiscriminately.
[07:28] Hoshina
Yeah, that's the strange feeling I had...
[07:31] Hoshina
Why did No. 8 attack
my weapon instead of me?
[07:35] Hoshina
Nothing about that battle made sense.
[07:38] Hoshina
The way it moved and reacted...
[07:40] Hoshina
It was more like fighting a human
than fighting a Kaiju.
[07:45] Mina
For now, get some rest.
[07:48] Mina
I'll take care of this.
[07:50] Mina
No matter what type of Kaiju it is,
[07:52] Mina
it's our job to neutralize it.
[07:56] Hoshina
Well, she's right there.
[07:57] Hoshina
Roger.
[08:00] Ikaruga
Captain! Vice-Captain!
[08:04] Hoshina
You're too loud, Ikaruga.
[08:06] Hoshina
What's wrong?
[08:07] Ikaruga
Sorry. I learned something
I thought you should hear.
[08:11] Ikaruga
The Kaiju that attacked Furuhashi and Ichikawa
[08:13] Ikaruga
appears to have been the same humanoid
type that appeared at the exam site.
[08:18] Ikaruga
When they found it,
[08:21] Ikaruga
it had a human form...
[08:40] Kanji
Hey!
[08:42] Kanji
Hey, are you deaf?
[08:44] Kanji
Out of the way!
[08:51] Kanji
What?
[08:59] Kanji
What?
[09:01] Kanji
Hey, say something!
[09:16] News
Breaking news.
[09:17] News
After the latest incident, the Defense Force
[09:19] News
has designated the humanoid type that
appeared at the exam site and Sagamihara
[09:23] News
as a long-term neutralization target,
[09:26] News
giving it the codename Kaiju No. 9.
[09:29] Kaiju No. 9
Now, how do I kill Kaiju No. 8?
[09:35] Kaiju No. 9
Oh dear, oh dear.
[09:38] Kaiju No. 9
I'll need to remain hidden
until I get used to this body again.
[09:52] Kikoru
He's awake.
[09:56] Kafka
Hey.
[09:57] Kafka
You awake, partner?
[10:03] Reno
Senpai, I'm glad you're okay.
[10:10] Kafka
That's my line, dummy.
[10:13] Reno
Also... thank you.
[10:17] Reno
For saving me and Iharu-kun.
[10:22] Iharu
Why are you thanking the old dude?
[10:24] Reno
Iharu-kun's in the same room?!
[10:26] Iharu
It was Kaiju No. 8 that saved us, right?
[10:29] Kikoru
Well, he found the Yoju reproductive organs,
and that was a huge help, right?
[10:34] Iharu
Oh, good point.
[10:37] Iharu
Thanks, old dude!
[10:38] Kafka
S-Sure thing!
[10:40] Iharu
Why'd the Kaiju save us, though?
[10:44] Iharu
He was so strong.
He knocked No. 9's head clean off!
[10:50] Iharu
For a Kaiju, he was pretty damn cool!
[10:53] Iharu
I wish you could've seen him!
[10:57] Iharu
Hey, why are you blushing, old dude?
[11:01] Kikoru
Blushing?
[11:02] Kikoru
He's got the same dumb look
on his face he always does!
[11:05] Iharu
Very true!
[11:06] Reno
We're so lucky it was Iharu-kun...
[11:08] Kafka
You don't need to hit me so hard.
SIGN Furuhashi & Ichikawa
SIGN Congratulations on Leaving the Hospital
[11:16] All
Congratulations on leaving the hospital!
[11:20] Reno
Wh-What's this?
[11:22] Kafka
A celebration for our
first successful mission!
[11:25] Kafka
We were waiting for you
to get out of the hospital.
[11:28] Kafka
Okay, let's get started.
[11:37] Dojima
Your course of A6-grade marbled
Japanese Black Wagyu beef!
[11:42] All
A6?!
[11:44] Kafka
Is there an A6?!
SIGN °There is not
[11:47] Dojima
We could never serve less than the finest
at a party organized by Haruichi-sama.
[11:52] Haruichi
I remember asking for the cheapest course.
[11:55] Dojima
You can pay the standard prices.
[11:58] Hoshina
Really? Lucky us!
[12:00] Kafka
Just who is Haruichi?
[12:02] Kikoru
What?
[12:03] Kikoru
You didn't know when you asked him
to put this together?
[12:07] Kafka
That's right.
[12:08] Kafka
He's the heir to Izumo Technologies,
[12:11] Kafka
the largest anti-Kaiju arms
manufacturer in the country.
[12:14] Kafka
The place that makes
the Defense Force suits?
[12:17] Kikoru
Yeah. He's got way more wealth
than even my family.
[12:21] Haruichi
So that's why you asked me to find a place?
[12:24] Kikoru
That's right.
[12:26] Kikoru
You said you wanted everybody
to get a good meal, right?
[12:29] Kikoru
And he's perfect for the job, huh?
[12:31] Kafka
Yeah.
[12:33] Hoshina
So yeah, excellent job
on your first mission.
[12:37] Hoshina
You don't get many days
when all your batchmates
[12:39] Hoshina
are off at the same time.
[12:42] Hoshina
So have a lot of fun!
[12:44] Hoshina
Cheers!
[12:45] All
Cheers!
[12:52] Hakua
Yeah, this is so good!
[12:54] Iharu
...blew his head right off! It was amazing!
[12:58] Reno
I've never seen everybody looking so happy.
[13:02] Reno
Thank you for putting this together.
[13:05] Hoshina
Don't speak too soon, Ichikawa.
[13:07] Hoshina
The show's about to start.
[13:10] Reno
What do you mean?
[13:12] Kikoru
And you're too busy trying
to show off to help your team!
[13:15] Kikoru
And you make everything personal!
[13:17] Iharu
You're the one person on this team
who has zero right to say that to me!
[13:20] Kikoru
I don't count, 'cause I'm
just that damn good!
[13:25] Reno
Guys, don't fight...
[13:26] Aoi
You always do things your way
and neglect the basics.
[13:31] Haruichi
And you do things so by the book,
you can't keep up when we work together!
[13:35] Haruichi
I have to slow myself down, you know.
[13:37] Reno
These guys too?
[13:38] Kafka
So anyway, Izumo...
[13:42] Kafka
You sure you guys' suits ain't defective?
[13:45] Kafka
I couldn't even defeat
a single one of those jerks!
[13:47] Aoi
Draw out more of its power, then.
[13:49] Reno
Not you too, Senpai!
[13:51] Hakua
Hey, you're with the comms team, right?
[13:52] Hakua
We kept losing communications
during the mission!
[13:55] F. Officer
You're the one who kept going inside
radio interference areas without telling us!
[13:59] F. Officer
We've told you that if you give us
advance notice, we can work it out!
[14:04] Reno
Oh no! It's everywhere I look...
[14:07] Reno
But isn't this...
[14:09] Hoshina
You've noticed, huh?
[14:11] Reno
They're all talking about the mission now.
[14:17] Reno
After their first mission,
they've all seen what they're lacking.
[14:22] Reno
That's right. It's not just me.
[14:26] Reno
Everybody wants to be stronger.
[14:31] Kafka
What did you say, asshole?
[14:33] Kafka
Show some respect for your elders!
[14:36] Aoi
I only respect people stronger than me.
[14:39] Kafka
All right, it's on!
[14:40] Kafka
I'll show you who's boss!
[14:44] Officers
I'm tired of listening
to your whining, you know.
[14:47] Officers
That's my line, jerk!
[14:49] Officers
You don't listen, do you, girl?
[14:51] Officers
You've got no right to say that to me!
[14:58] Konomi
It's a yearly tradition.
[15:04] Dojima
We were so happy you reached out
to us, young master.
[15:08] Dojima
I thought I'd never see you again.
[15:11] Haruichi
Don't say that, Dojima-san.
[15:13] Haruichi
I just wanted to make sure
everybody had a nice meal.
[15:18] Dojima
So, about your father...
[15:25] Haruichi
I haven't talked to him since then.
[15:28] Dojima
I see.
[15:30] Haruichi
I'm sorry for worrying you.
[15:33] Haruichi
Dojima-san, today's meal was incredible.
[15:44] Haruichi
Did he hear that?
[15:46] Aoi
Bathroom.
[15:53] Haruichi
I guess he's not the nosy type.
[15:57] Hoshina
Okay, calm down, everybody.
[16:02] Hoshina
Time to make an announcement.
[16:06] Kafka
Announcement?
[16:07] Hoshina
Kafka Hibino.
[16:10] Hoshina
You saved a lot of lives during the mission,
and that got you noticed.
[16:16] Hoshina
So you're getting promoted to full officer.
[16:24] Hoshina
Welcome to the Defense Force's Third Division.
[16:31] All
Yes!
[16:41] Reno
Senpai!
[16:42] Iharu
You did it, old dude!
[16:43] Kafka
Don't call me that!
[16:45] Iharu
Time to give him a victory toss!
[16:47] Reno
Great idea!
[16:48] Iharu
Grab him, guys!
[16:49] Iharu
You help out, too!
[16:51] Iharu
Don't drop him!
[16:52] Aoi
It's a good night.
[16:55] Aoi
If I can stop us from losing
a single person, I want to.
[16:57] All
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
[17:09] Haruichi
Yeah, I agree.
[17:26] Mina
Kafka Hibino.
[17:29] Mina
As of today, as of this moment,
you are no longer a cadet,
[17:34] Mina
but a full-fledged Defense Force officer.
[17:39] Kafka
I swear to give everything
I have to the fight.
[17:45] Kafka
A-Anyway, I'll be going...
[17:51] Mina
Don't get too excited.
[17:55] Mina
You're a long way from being
able to fight by my side.
[18:02] Kafka
So Mina does remember!
[18:06] Kafka
Yeah, just you wait, Mina!
[18:12] Mina
Give me fifty push-ups for failing
to address a superior by their title.
[18:16] Kafka
I did it again!
[18:19] Mina
Kaiju No. 8...
[18:20] Mina
and No. 9 need to be discussed at HQ,
which requires my presence.
[18:24] Kafka
Whew...
[18:26] Mina
I've put Vice-Captain Hoshina in charge,
so ask him about the paperwork.
[18:31] Kafka
Roger!
[18:32] Mina
And... it was Hoshina who
recommended you for full officer.
[18:37] Mina
Of course, it only happened because
of your success in the last battle.
[18:40] Kafka
The vice-captain...
[18:43] Mina
Live up to his expectations.
[18:45] Kafka
Roger!
[18:58] Kafka
I guess that's enough for today.
[19:02] Kafka
I don't want another lecture
from the vice-captain.
[19:14] Kafka
The training room?
[19:16] Kafka
At this hour?
[19:18] Kafka
Who forgot to turn the lights off?
[19:34] Kafka
The vice-captain? What's he doing?
[19:43] Kafka
Mental imagery training?
[19:48] Kafka
But the way he's moving...
[19:52] Kafka
He's not just doing ordinary training.
[19:55] Kafka
He's recreating his battle with me!
[20:09] Hoshina
Oh, Kafka?
[20:12] Hoshina
You're here way too late again.
[20:16] Kafka
What about you? Why are you here so late?
[20:21] Hoshina
Working out a strategy for No. 8.
[20:24] Hoshina
So I can slice him in half with
a single strike next time I see him.
[20:30] Hoshina
I screwed up at the start, you know.
[20:32] Hoshina
If I'd gone all in right off the bat,
I could've chopped his head off.
[20:37] Hoshina
And...
[20:39] Hoshina
If I'd used skill six instead of skill five,
[20:42] Hoshina
I could've sliced him
and his core into ribbons.
[20:46] Hoshina
You're getting way too scared.
[20:48] Hoshina
No normal officer could handle that thing.
[20:51] Hoshina
And No. 9's probably close to as strong.
[20:54] Hoshina
So...
[20:56] Hoshina
I've gotta handle 'em myself.
[21:02] Kafka
He really is amazing.
[21:05] Kafka
He's not just trying to keep
civilians safe, but us, too!
[21:10] Kafka
Vice-Captain!
[21:13] Kafka
I'll do my best to be
able to help in the fight.
[21:19] Hoshina
Don't get so cocky, fool!
[21:21] Hoshina
I don't expect a guy
with 1% power to be helpful!
[21:26] Kafka
B-Bye...
[21:29] Hoshina
But, well...
[21:32] Hoshina
You can have 1% of my expectations.
[21:38] Hoshina
I'm heading back to the office.
[21:39] Hoshina
You get to sleep.

SIGN ...a report of our hypotheses.
This analysis is the result of work by the science team of the Defense Force Third Division,
which specializes in neutralization missions. The information that forms the basis
for these hypotheses and analyses was gathered by the
Defense Force's intelligence teams, as well as cooperative civilian organizations.
STATUS OF PURSUIT
The Defense Force made attempts to gather more information to
prevent further damage, but failed to discover the target.
Yoju neutralization teams gathered at the hospital to form a pursuit force,
expanding their search radius, but failed to discover the target.
The Defense Force designated this Kaiju a long-term neutralization target
and gave it the designation "Kaiju No. 8." It was designated a nationwide pursuit target,
and became the first Kaiju that the Defense Force ever failed to neutralize.
SECOND ENCOUNTER
The second encounter occurred during the Sagamihara Neutralization Operation
performed by the Third Division. After the defeat of the fungal-type Kaiju,
the mission had shifted to neutralizing the remaining Yoju. At this point,
communication was lost with several rookie officers. As biological monitoring systems
went offline as well, their unit began to search for them. Members of the search party
discovered two of the officers who were experiencing communication failures,
as well as a humanoid Kaiju. Immediately afterwards, a mysterious shadow
launched an attack at the officers, which struck the humanoid Kaiju instead.
The mysterious shadow escaped. The humanoid-type, which remained, was identified as
Kaiju No. 8 due to its physical description. An attempt was made to neutralize it,
which failed. The unit recovered the two wounded officers, and another unit initiated
a pursuit of Kaiju No. 8. It may possess the ability to enlarge the size of its entire body.
° Descriptions of a mouth large enough to swallow a person whole
and octopus-like legs indicate that it may possess transformational abilities.
[00:12] Hoshina
Kaiju No. 8...
[00:23] Hoshina
He felt... strangely human.
[00:28] Hoshina
And then there's No. 9, which could
speak and disguise itself as a human.
[00:34] Hoshina
What's happening to the Kaiju?
[00:43] Kafka
Vice-Captain!
[00:46] Kafka
I'll do my best to be
able to help in the fight.

[01:02] Kafka
Okay, I've finally taken the first step!

wyvern-type Kaiju each year,
[05:26] Kafka
but there's always something
they have in common.
[05:29] Kafka
They're always alone.
[05:31] Kafka
But these guys showed up in a group!
[05:34] Hoshina
Yeah. Which can only mean one thing...
[05:40] Hoshina
There's something out there that's got
the power to make them swallow their pride,
[05:44] Hoshina
and the intelligence to act
with a goal in mind.
[05:49] Hoshina
An incredibly powerful leader.
[05:57] No. 10
Target sighted.
[06:00] Hoshina
I'm hangin' up, Kafka.
[06:07] No. 10
Are you the strongest human at this base?
[06:11] Hoshina
It can speak, too?
[06:14] Hoshina
The captain ain't here,
[06:17] Hoshina
so yeah, I guess.
[06:18] No. 10
I see.
[06:20] No. 10
That settles it, then. You are my prey.
[06:25] Konomi
Honju's estimated fortitude
calculations complete!
[06:28] Konomi
It's 8.3... That's Daikaiju class!
[06:32] Hoshina
Ikaruga, do you copy?
[06:33] Ikaruga
Yes, sir!
[06:34] Hoshina
You command the fight against the Yoju.
[06:36] Hoshina
Prioritize keeping them in the base
and away from civilians,
[06:39] Hoshina
and keeping the main building online.
[06:41] Ikaruga
Roger!
[06:42] Hoshina
As for the Honju, I'm...
[06:46] No. 10
You dodged it?
[06:47] No. 10
You pass.
[07:01] Hoshina
I'm gonna have to be the one to handle it.
[07:06] No. 10
Excellent.
[07:09] No. 10
Now... it's time.
[07:12] No. 10
Let's begin your annihilation.
[07:33] Hoshina
The Yoju are reacting to its cry...
[07:36] Hoshina
So they are after this place.
[07:44] Hoshina
This thing's punches hit like a meteor strike!
[07:46] Hoshina
One solid hit, and I'm a dead man.
[07:58] Hoshina
And its skin is tougher than No. 8's!
[08:02] Ikaruga
Fire!
[08:08] Soldiers
It's unharmed?
[08:13] Ikaruga
Retreat!
[08:14] Ikaruga
Gunners, swap to oscillator rounds.
[08:17] Kafka
Don't attack from the front!
[08:19] Ikaruga
That voice... Hibino?
[08:20] Kafka
You need to attack their backs...
[08:22] Kafka
They're the same type that was reported in '03!
[08:27] Reno
Senpai?
[08:28] Iharu
The old dude?
[08:29] Reno
I was worried when
I couldn't get a hold of you!
[08:31] Kafka
Sorry, I was talking to the vice-captain.
[08:34] Kafka
Just hit the back, got it? The back!
[08:36] Kafka
The front is easier to hit
when they're in flight,
[08:39] Kafka
but the skin's thick!
[08:40] Kafka
The core should be near the back!
[08:43] Kafka
The skin on the back is as thin as possible
to help keep their weight down!
[08:48] Ikaruga
Nice, Hibino!
[08:51] Ikaruga
Split up to run decoy in front
while hitting the back!
[08:55] All
Roger!
[08:56] Aoi
Get back.
[08:57] Haruichi
I'll take the front.
[09:05] Aoi
I'll be the decoy.
[09:07] Aoi
Get behind it, Haruichi.
[09:08] Aoi
You owe me one for this!
[09:18] Haruichi
He's good.
[09:27] Haruichi
Combat power fully unleashed!
[09:30] Haruichi
What?
[09:35] Haruichi
The Kaiju are working together?
[09:39] Officers
It's no good! We can't get behind them!
[09:40] Officers
We've failed as well!
[09:42] Officers
Another Kaiju blocked us!
[09:43] Kafka
That's impossible!
[09:44] Haruichi
What do we do?
[09:47] Haruichi
If we can't get behind them, then how...
[09:49] Kikoru
There's another way.
[09:51] Reno
Shinomiya?
[09:52] Iharu
What do you mean, another way?
[10:06] Kikoru
I just...
[10:14] Kikoru
use my unstoppable power...
[10:23] Kikoru
to smash right through their front armor!
SIGN Tachikawa Base Underground Weapons Storage Room
[10:34] Kikoru
A custom weapon? For me?
[10:36] Kikoru
I thought you had to be a captain to get one.
[10:39] Hoshina
Normally, yeah.
[10:41] Hoshina
But we've decided
it's worth making an exception.
[10:43] Mina
The fortitude levels and numbers of Kaiju
we're seeing this year are abnormal.
[10:47] Mina
And, since you're the third
most powerful officer on base,
[10:51] Mina
we've decided to treat you
as part of our main force.
[11:02] Mina
Shinomiya, from now on,
[11:05] Mina
you're our third strongest weapon
after the captain and vice-captain...
[11:09] Mina
It will be your job to annihilate the Kaiju.
[11:15] Kikoru
Hits pretty hard, for a prototype.
[11:19] Kikoru
One thing I don't like, though,
[11:22] Kikoru
is that such an ugly weapon doesn't suit me.
[11:26] Iharu
Sh-She smashed through its front armor?
[11:29] Kikoru
All right, you Kaiju...
[11:32] Kikoru
Now that I'm on the battlefield...
[11:35] Kikoru
it's over for you.
[11:47] Kikoru
The weapon is primarily made from
[11:49] Kikoru
the uniorgan of the Honju that was
neutralized in Shinagawa two years ago.
[11:52] Hoshina
Pull the trigger to turn on the power,
and it'll release shock waves.
[11:56] Kikoru
Usage one...
[11:58] Kikoru
Generating a shock wave behind you
when taking an action.
[12:04] Kikoru
Accelerate!
[12:08] Kikoru
Squadron-Style Axe Technique
Number One: Falling Thunder!
[12:20] Kikoru
Usage two...
[12:23] Kikoru
Unleashing a frontal shock wave on impact...
[12:26] Kikoru
for more power!
[12:28] Kikoru
Number Two: Water Skimmer!
[12:31] Iharu
Wow...
[12:33] Reno
What do you mean, it doesn't suit you?
[12:37] Reno
It's perfect for your aggressive,
overbearing personality.
[12:42] Kikoru
Now, who's next?
[12:45] Kikoru
Above me?
[12:51] Kikoru
Freeze rounds?!
[12:58] Kikoru
Reno...
[12:59] Reno
Be careful, Shinomiya.
They attack from the sky, too.
[13:06] Reno
You aren't going anywhere!
[13:10] Kikoru
I'm impressed he can fight like that
against Kaiju this strong.
[13:19] Kikoru
Number Three: Half Moon!
[13:28] Reno
Did she get them?
[13:30] Kikoru
Reno.
[13:32] Kikoru
You can have the honor of helping me.
[13:34] Kikoru
If you can keep up, that is.
[13:36] Reno
Sounds great to me.
[13:38] Kikoru
All right, search the battlefield for openings
and catch the enemy off guard!
[13:42] Haruichi
You heard that, right?
[13:44] Aoi
Yeah.
[13:45] Aoi
A guerrilla squad of just two...
[13:47] Aoi
That sounds like Shinomiya.
[13:49] Haruichi
We can't let the two of them leave us behind.
[13:52] Aoi
Which means we need to...
[13:54] Haruichi
Hit the enemy from behind
when Shinomiya's got 'em distracted!
[13:59] Ikaruga
Shinomiya's team will stop the Kaiju
from working together!
[14:02] Ikaruga
Continue the mission!
[14:03] Ikaruga
Split into two and hit the enemy from behind!
[14:09] Hoshina
Shinomiya seems like
she's doing her job just fine.
[14:11] Hoshina
The problem is...
[14:18] Hoshina
This thing.
[14:37] Konomi

[14:50] Hoshina
Okonogi-chan, open Gate 3!
[14:52] Konomi
Roger!
[14:57] Hoshina
It's an emotion Kaiju aren't supposed to have.
[15:10] Hoshina
Why'd I even bother opening it?
[15:12] Hoshina
Those doors are expensive, okay?
[15:15] Hoshina
Where'd it go?
[15:17] No. 10
Even most Kaiju can't fight me like you do.
[15:23] No. 10
I can't wait to eat you and get even stronger.
[15:33] Konomi
Vice-Captain!
[15:38] No. 10
You really are strong.
[15:43] Hoshina
Sorry, Okonogi-chan.
[15:45] Hoshina
This is an emergency,
so I'm skipping the procedures.
[15:52] Hoshina
Here in the training grounds,
[15:54] Hoshina
I don't have to worry about
hurting the officers if I go all out.

You okay, Minase?
[16:42] Minase
Thanks!

W-Well, I am a full officer,

[17:01] Minase
Kikoru!
[17:03] Reno
You okay, Senpai?
[17:05] Kikoru
Reno and I will distract the Kaiju.
[17:08] Kikoru
Get the wounded out of here while we do.
[17:10] Both
Roger!
[17:12] Reno
Senpai...
[17:14] Reno
Just don't take any risks, please.
[17:17] Reno
You're a full officer now.
[17:21] Reno
Believe in your fellow officers.
[17:23] Kafka
Right.
[17:25] Reno
I'm off!
[17:36] Minase
Wow...
[17:38] Kafka
When did they learn to work together like that?
[17:45] Konomi
Report! Nakanoshima's unit has arrived!
[17:47] Nakanoshima
Sorry to keep you waiting, Ikaruga!
[17:50] Konomi
Ebina's unit has arrived as well and is
heading to assist in the southern quadrant!
[17:54] Ebina
Thought you could get away with this,
huh, you damn Kaiju?
[17:57] Kafka
The senior officers who were off duty?
[17:59] Kafka
They came to help!
[18:00] Konomi
Shinomiya's team and Agatsuma's platoon
have taken down two Yoju.
[18:04] Takao
This is Takao Platoon.
[18:06] Takao
Our gunners are ready to go.
[18:08] Takao
We'll attack the Yoju in the air
with freeze rounds.
[18:11] Itakura
This is Itakura Platoon.
[18:13] Itakura
We've secured the warehouse area.
[18:15] Kafka
We're starting to push them back,

even without the captain here!
[18:20] Kafka
Okay, Minase, let's hurry and help the wounded.
[18:24] Minase
Right!
[18:26] Kafka
Incredible...
[18:28] Kafka
It's not just Kikoru and Ichikawa.

Again...
[19:00] No. 10
It was the same with the attack
you used to cut off my arm.
[19:08] No. 10
You're slicing right through
the tiny gaps in my exoskeleton.
[19:13] No. 10
This is no fun at all.
[19:15] No. 10

you're aiming for, it's easy for me to...

This is...

Not yet!
[20:54] Minase
Hibino-san? What's wrong?
[20:57] Kafka
Sorry, I'm fine.
[21:00] Kafka
What's going on? My detection ability's
going off when I haven't transformed!
[21:04] Kafka
Vice-Captain...
[21:19] Hoshina
It got bigger?!
[21:21] Hoshina
The position of its core shifted,
so I wasn't able to fully destroy it?

[02:03] Reno
Yeah.
[02:04] Reno
I'm sure I could get stronger if I stayed, too.
[02:08] Reno
But...
[02:09] Reno
I want to get stronger as quickly as possible.
[02:14] Reno
So that next time I can protect him,
instead of him having to protect me.
[02:19] Iharu
Next time? You really think
the old dude's coming back?
[02:22] Reno
I've decided to believe.
[02:25] Reno
And when he comes back,
I don't want to rue my own weakness.
[02:29] Iharu
Well, me too...!
[02:31] Iharu
Fine, damn it! I'll train too!
[02:33] Iharu
You're the one guy I refuse to lose to!
[02:35] Nakanoshima
What are you two arguing about?
[02:38] Reno
Platoon leaders...
[02:40] Ikaruga
Today's the day they decide
what they're doing with Hibino.
[02:43] Ikaruga
It's hard to stay focused,
thinking about that.
[02:45] Nakanoshima
Same for you guys, right?
[02:48] Minase
It'll be fine!
[02:50] Minase
We all wrote that letter asking
for clemency together!
[02:53] Nakanoshima
And Captain Ashiro was summoned to HQ, too.
[02:56] Reno
The captain was?
[02:57] Minase
Yes.
[02:58] Minase
I'm sure they called her
because they have good news.
[03:09] Mina
Mina Ashiro, reporting as ordered.
[03:13] Staff
Director General Shinomiya
is currently examining Kaiju No. 8.
[03:17] Staff
Please remain there until he's finished.
[03:19] Mina
Roger.
[03:23] Staff
You are only here as an observer.
[03:25] Staff
A seat has not been prepared for you.
[03:39] Kikoru
No! You're human, right?
[03:42] Kikoru
Kafka Hibino!
[03:47] Isao
He's fast.
[03:48] Isao
But he's just an animal. He's not thinking
about the opening he leaves after his attack.
[04:04] Isao
An attack that destroys his own body,
knowing he can regenerate?
[04:07] Isao
If I try to use human common sense
in this fight, I'm going to regret it.
[04:14] Kafka
Stop it!
[04:19] Kikoru
Daddy!
[04:22] Isao
Without No. 2's shield,
that would've killed me instantly.
[04:26] Isao
Squadron-Style Combat Technique Number Two:
[04:30] Isao
Force Blast!
[04:34] Itami
That attack expands its striking range
by using a sonic boom.
[04:37] Itami
A method No. 2 put to good use.
[04:42] Isao
The core's gone?
[04:48] Isao
He used his body as a decoy
and regenerated from his core?
[04:51] Kafka
Fighting like this is too much!
[04:54] Kafka
I'm not gonna survive this!
[05:01] Staff
Impossible! That shelter's as strong
as we could make it!
[05:03] Staff
We just lost the second layer!
[05:05] Staff
In theory, it should survive an
attack from a Fortitude 10.0!
[05:08] Itami
We can expect to take some damage.
[05:14] Itami
After all,
[05:15] Itami
we have two numbered Kaiju, No. 2 and
No. 8, battling each other across time.
[05:22] Kikoru
Incredible...
[05:23] Kikoru
He's facing a numbered Kaiju all on his own!
[05:27] Itami
It's strange, though.
[05:30] Itami
If he was going to kill him,
he should've done so
[05:33] Itami
with his first attack
while he was still in human form.
[05:37] Itami
Instead, it looks like Isao
[05:39] Itami
is deliberately pushing No. 8 to test him.
[05:43] Itami
I can't imagine why.
[05:49] Kikoru
Is Daddy giving Kafka Hibino
a chance to survive?!
[05:59] Aoi
I came to the Defense Force to save lives.
[06:04] Aoi
Instead, Kafka Hibino saved mine.
[06:08] Haruichi
But he...
[06:11] Aoi
Your standard for judging someone shouldn't
be their background, or what they say.
[06:16] Aoi
The way I see it, people ought
to be judged by their actions.
[06:24] Haruichi
Yeah, you're right.
SIGN Dad
[06:33] Haruichi
The only fact that matters
is what you do, huh?
[06:51] Itami
No!
[06:55] Itami
No. 8's fortitude is starting
to surpass Isao's estimations.
[07:02] Kafka
Crap! I have to stop this thing!
[07:47] Kafka
Damn it all!
[07:48] Kafka
Stop!
[08:03] Kafka
I'm going to end up killing him!
[08:15] Kafka
Hell no!
[08:17] Kafka
I'm not killing Kikoru's dad
right in front of her!
[08:28] Kikoru
...if I find out that you're a Kaiju
that's going to harm mankind, I'll kill you.
[08:37] Kikoru
I'll...
[08:41] Kikoru
I'll... have to...
[08:47] Kikoru
But I still want to believe in him!
[08:50] Kikoru
Don't give in to some Kaiju,
Kafka, you idiot!
[08:57] Kafka
I... I...!
[09:09] Kafka
I...
SIGN Application Result
SIGN Mr. Kafka Hibino
SIGN We regret to inform you that you have not passed
the first round of the recently concluded
Anti-Kaiju Defense Force selection tests.
[09:11] Kafka
This is how it always goes for me.
[09:15] Kafka
I always screw up at
the most important moment.
[09:29] Kafka
Damn it...
[09:39] Isao
I had hope, but I suppose all is lost.
[10:18] Mina
I'll always...
[10:20] Mina
I'll always be waiting.
[10:52] Kafka
I...
[10:54] Kafka
I... I'm not Kaiju No. 8.
[10:59] Kafka
I'm Kafka Hibino.
[11:27] Isao
Put your weapon away,
[11:30] Isao
Narumi.
[11:41] Narumi
You kept refusing to signal for backup.
SIGN Defense Force First Division Captain
Gen Narumi
[11:45] Narumi
I thought you were trying to kill yourself.
[11:48] Isao
Don't be stupid.
[11:49] Isao
I'll admit he was more than
I expected, though.
[11:53] Isao
Medics, take No. 8 in immediately.
[11:57] Isao
Its core may be damaged.
[12:01] Narumi
So, what will you do with him?
[12:11] Itami
Director General Shinomiya
has finished his examination.
[12:15] Itami
Lastly, we want to hear what you think
as his commanding officer,
[12:20] Itami
Captain Mina Ashiro.
[12:22] Mina
Of course.
[12:24] Itami
You've seen Kafka Hibino up close
since the day he joined.
[12:28] Itami
Our reports say you know him
from before that, as well.
[12:33] Mina
Yes.
[12:34] Mina
But from the trials to now,
I haven't given him any special treatment.
[12:39] Itami
Our records show that she failed
Kafka Hibino during the exam.
[12:43] Itami
It was Vice-Captain Hoshina's suggestion
that he be selected as a backup.
[12:50] Nogizaka
To be clear, we've almost
entirely reached our conclusion.
[12:54] Nogizaka
We simply need your report for the papework.
[12:59] Technical Director
Which means your testimony will have
no influence on Kaiju No. 8's fate.
[13:04] Technical Director
We don't want you to feel responsible
for what happens here.
[13:10] Mina
Understood.
[13:12] Itami
Speak.
[13:14] Mina
I'll leave it to the specialists to decide
whether Kafka Hibino is a human or a Kaiju.
[13:20] Mina
Instead, I'll tell you what I know of him
as a Defense Force officer.
[13:26] Mina
During the Sagamihara Neutralization Operation,
[13:31] Mina
Officer Kafka Hibino contributed to his unit
by discovering the Yoju's reproductive organs.
[13:36] Mina
He's continued to be a hard worker who's
saved the lives of his comrades many times.
[13:42] Mina
Especially notable was the battle with No. 10,
[13:45] Mina
where he saved the Third Division from
being wiped out by destroying the Yoju bomb.
[13:50] Officers
And so what?
[13:52] Officers
That was only possible
because he used his Kaiju power.
[13:55] Officers
The fact that a rookie officer was
capable of all that is proof he's a Kaiju!
[14:01] Mina
Yes, that's correct.
[14:05] Mina
His unleashed combat power
at the time he joined was 0%.
[14:08] Mina
He only passed the exam as a backup.
[14:13] Mina
He'd failed the Defense Force exam
twelve times straight prior to that.
[14:17] Mina
Age-wise, he's also
the oldest of any of our recruits.
[14:21] Officers
So he must've used his Kaiju power to cheat!
[14:25] Mina
But he didn't give up.
[14:30] Mina
No matter how many times he failed,
[14:32] Mina
even though his combat power was zero...
[14:34] Mina
Even though his body had
turned into a Kaiju...
[14:38] Mina
He never stopped trying to save people.
[14:42] Mina
Out of all the people I know, Kafka Hibino
[14:45] Mina
hates giving up,
cares for others more than anyone,
[14:49] Mina
and...
[14:53] Mina
Miiko!
[15:32] Mina
And he has more humanity than anyone.
[15:36] Mina
What is the deciding factor as to whether
Kafka Hibino should be trusted as an officer?
[15:42] Mina
I believe it's his heart.
[15:49] Officers
We're not asking your personal opinion!
[15:51] Officers
Stop trying to cover for your subordinate.
[15:53] Officers
We can't trust something as vague
and ill-defined as his "heart"!
[15:57] Isao
Thank you, Captain Ashiro.
[16:01] Isao
Return to your post.
[16:16] Officers
We've heard what his commanding officer felt.
[16:18] Officers
Nobody will accuse us
of a hasty decision now.
[16:22] Officers
We're ready to dispose of him now.
[16:24] Officers
Your decision, Director General.
[16:28] Isao
No. 8 will...
[16:39] Kafka
I hated myself for not
being able to do anything.
[16:44] Kafka
I told myself I'd make the Kaiju pay
for making her cry like that.
[16:51] Kafka
So I'd decided that if I was gonna
become a Kaiju in both body and mind,
[16:57] Kafka
I'd rather die as a human.
[17:08] Kafka
I'm... alive?
[17:11] Isao
You're awake?
[17:14] Kafka
D-Director General Shinomiya!
[17:16] Isao
Calm down.
[17:18] Isao
I'm not here to hurt you.
[17:20] Kafka
I'm so glad...
[17:24] Kafka
If anything happened to you,
[17:28] Kafka
I could never face Kikoru.
[17:36] Kafka
If I'm still alive, does that
mean you accept that I'm human?
[17:40] Kafka
That I'm a member of the Defense Force?
[17:44] Isao
If what was inside your chest
was the frail heart of a human,
[17:51] Isao
you would've died back there.
[17:55] Isao
I'll tell you what the council decided.
[17:59] Isao
You're a Kaiju.
[18:04] Isao
But we'll decide later if you're a threat.
[18:08] Isao
At the moment, most people
are opposed to letting you live.
[18:14] Isao
Kaiju No. 8 will fight for us.
He will not be converted into weaponry.
[18:21] Officers
I object!
[18:21] Officers
We can't use a living Kaiju in combat!
[18:24] Officers
It's dangerous!
[18:25] Officers
There's no precedent!
[18:26] Kafka
I'm not Kaiju No. 8.
[18:30] Kafka
I'm Kafka Hibino.
[18:34] Isao
I've decided that he can be controlled.
[18:38] Isao
It's a fact that he's been doing missions
with the Third Division for months.
[18:43] Isao
It's not clear if a weapon made from him
would be able to produce that much power.
[18:48] Isao
With as many Daikaiju as we're seeing,
[18:51] Isao
we need to use our forces
in the most optimal way possible.
[18:54] Nogizaka
But there's no precedent for this.
[18:56] Isao
Precedent?
[18:58] Isao
Precedents are meaningless
in the face of this country's defense.
[19:04] Isao
Surely none of you have forgotten the series
of disasters involving No. 6 ten years ago.
[19:11] Isao
Over two hundred officers
and three captains lost their lives.
[19:16] Itami
Including your wife.
[19:18] Isao
If a swarm of Kaiju emerges with numbers
that far exceed our estimates,
[19:22] Isao
this nation could easily be destroyed.
[19:25] Isao
But if we can utilize his incredible power,
we might stand a sliver of a chance.
[19:34] Nogizaka
Even so,
[19:36] Nogizaka
we stand opposed.
[19:39] Isao
Kafka Hibino.
[19:42] Kafka
He said my name?
[19:44] Isao
Prove your worth if you want to survive.
[19:50] Kafka
So they're just leaving me alive
so I can be used as a weapon?
[19:56] Kafka
I still think of myself
as a Defense Force officer.
[20:01] Kafka
I'll make you accept me as one too!

[20:41] Kikoru
But... I can't be entirely happy.
[20:46] Kikoru
Now I need to get stronger...
[20:50] Kikoru
Or I won't be able to stop him if I need to.
[20:54] Haruichi
Is this...
[20:56] Haruichi
Did the SDF do this?
[20:59] Aoi
No, they didn't.

A victory Kafka Hibino won for himself!

H—
[21:19] Iharu
Hooray!
[21:21] Iharu
You did it, Old Dude!
[21:22] Iharu
God was watching out for you, I guess!
[21:27] Minase
I'm so glad, Hibino-san!
[21:29] Nakanoshima
It's gonna get noisy around here again.
[21:31] Iharu
Hey, Reno, it says the old dude's saved!
[21:34] Reno
I knew.
[21:36] Reno
I told you, right?
I was sure he was coming back.
[21:41] Reno
When you get back, I'll be way
stronger than I am now, Senpai!
[21:46] Konomi
I'm glad it worked out for Hibino-san.
[21:48] Hoshina
The hard part's just beginning, though.
[21:52] Hoshina
If people outside the Force
knew we had a Kaiju...
[21:56] Konomi
Well, it's a secret, right?
[21:59] Hoshina
They'll find out someday.
[22:01] Hoshina
I'm sure the brass knows that too.
[22:03] Konomi
Then...
[22:05] Hoshina
Kafka Hibino needs to prove he's useful
enough that nobody can refuse his help.
[22:11] Hoshina
Things are gonna get
even harder from now on.
[22:22] Isao
Hey, we're not done talking.
[22:25] Isao
Wake up.
[22:27] Kafka
Wait for me, Mina...
[22:41] Toku-san
Huh? You lost?
[22:43] Mitsuike
Game duration of seven minutes? That's fast!
[22:46] Mizoguchi
Nothing I could do!
[22:48] Mizoguchi
This "Number 9" guy
started playing last week,
[22:51] Mizoguchi
and all of a sudden he's top of the pile!
[22:57] No.9
That should do it.
[22:59] No.9
I've figured out mankind's
intellectual level.
[23:03] No.9
On an individual basis, it's nothing special.
[23:07] No.9
So their weapon is the ability to accumulate
knowledge across generations, then.
[23:13] No.9
What about on your end?
[23:15] No.9
I've more or less figured out
the layout of the base.
[23:20] No.9
Now we can move our plan to the next phase.
[23:24] No.9
Yes, goodbye.
[23:31] No.9
Time to bring the Kaiju power that fell
into human hands back to our side.
