Will we succeed in getting its attention?
**[01:35] Girl**
Which division will come, you think?
**[01:37] Haruichi**
Since this is Yokohama,
it'll be the Third Division.
**[02:58] Kafka**
Man, they got its guts over *everything*!
**[03:03] Kafka**
Looks like it'll be overtime
for me for a while.
**[03:08] Mizoguchi**
Okay, time to get to work.
**[03:10] All**
Yes, sir!
**[03:14] Announcer 2**
The members of the Third Division
have successfully defeated the Kaiju,
**[03:17] Sign**
Thank you, Defense Force
**[03:17] Announcer 2**
and they return to
raucous cheers from the citizens.
**[03:21] Announcer 2**
They have once again taken down
a Kaiju with no casualties.
**[03:24] Announcer 2**
The Third Division are
the protectors of our future!
**[03:25] Girl**
I heard Captain Ashiro is here!
**[03:26] Girl**
She's so awesome!
**[03:28] Announcer 2**
These cheers are a sign
of the people's gratitude!
**[03:32] Director**
Hey, get some footage of the victims, too.
**[03:32] Announcer 2**
Those of you in Yokohama's affected areas,
please be on the lookout for Yoju.
**[03:35] Director**
Oh, sorry.
**[03:37] Director**
Come give me a report when you're done!
**[03:39] Cameraman**
Sure.
**[03:55] Kafka**
* After all the other battles*

**[04:01] Kafka**
*Nobody's here to cheer us on.*
**[04:04] Kafka**

Bring me the heat chainsaw!
**[04:31] Staff**
Sure.
**[04:32] Kafka**
Hey, don't start lifting that yet!
**[04:40] Staff**
Oww...
**[04:43] Kafka**
Over here! Bring a stretcher!
**[04:45] Kafka**
Don't worry. It only got on your skin.
**[04:49] Kafka**
I've had it happen to me a bunch of times.
**[04:50] Kafka**
Make sure you file for workers' comp!
**[04:52] Staff**
Will do!
**[04:54] Kafka**
Things always get messy
when the Third Division's involved.
**[04:58] Kafka**
Hard to tell what's organs and what's not.
**[05:00] Kafka**
Anyway... do they really expect us
to finish this by the end of the week?
**[05:09] Mizoguchi**
Kafka, got a new job for you.
**[05:11] Mizoguchi**
We have an opening elsewhere on-site.
**[05:13] Kafka**
Where?
**[05:15] Mizoguchi**
The intestines.
**[05:20] Mizoguchi**
I've already got permission from management.
**[05:23] Miike**
Have fun!
**[05:25] Yoshimura**
I've heard people talking about it,
but is intestine work that bad?

**[06:56] Kafka**
How'd I wind up on this side of things?
**[07:01] Kafka**
Gaah! Just don't think about it!
**[07:03] Kafka**
Cleaning up is an important job!
I'm helping society!
**[07:08] Kafka**
I get to live in a nice apartment
and eat whatever I want!
**[07:13] Kafka**
Isn't that good enough?
**[07:24] Kafka**
*God, my head hurts...*
**[07:26] Kafka**
*It's because of that damn news story.*
**[07:36] Kafka**
Morning...
**[07:37] Toku-san**
Oh, good, you're here!
**[07:38] Toku-san**
Kafka!
**[07:39] Toku-san**
Come here for a second!
**[07:41] Miike**
I'll go get things ready.
**[07:43] Toku-san**
Thanks.
**[07:44] Miike**
Morning, Kafka.
**[07:46] Toku-san**
We've got a new part-timer starting today.
This is Ichikawa-kun.
**[07:50] Toku-san**
He says he's aiming
to join the Defense Force!
***SIGN*** Reno Ichikawa
**[07:54] Toku-san**
This guy was once like you!
**[07:57] Toku-san**
He gave up, though, and now
he's part of the furniture here!
**[08:00] Kafka**
*Well, this sucks...*
**[08:02] Kafka**
Toku-san... You're freaking the new kid out.
**[08:05] Reno**
Why?
**[08:08] Reno**
Why'd you give up?
**[08:15] Kafka**
I did do my best, you know, but...
**[08:19] Kafka**
No matter how good you are,
there's always somebody better.
**[08:21] Kafka**
I guess you could say I reached
the limit of how far I could go?
**[08:25] Kafka**
You'll understand when you're older.
**[08:27] Reno**
I won't.
**[08:30] Reno**
'Cause I'll never give up.
**[08:32] Reno**
So I won't know until the day I die.
**[08:34] Reno**
Not that I'd even want to.
**[08:37] Reno**
I'll go change.
**[08:40] Toku-san**
Huh... I thought you
and him would get along.
**[08:45] Kafka**
*That's not fair!*
**[08:46] Kafka**
* There's nothing I could've said*
* that wouldn't make me sound like a loser!*
**[08:51] Kafka**
*Is giving up that bad?*
**[08:59] Mizoguchi**
Okay, let's get started.
**[09:00] Girl**
Hey!
**[09:02] Mizoguchi**
Miike's team can stay on bone cleaning duty.
**[09:05] Mizoguchi**
Get the important ones ready for Izumo Tech.
**[09:07] Miike**
On it!
**[09:08] Mizoguchi**
Yoshimura's team can start
taking apart the legs.
**[09:10] Mizoguchi**
Dump all of it.
**[09:12] Yoshimura**
Okay.
**[09:12] Mizoguchi**
New kid, you're on intestines.
**[09:14] Mizoguchi**
Follow me.
**[09:15] Reno**
Yes, sir.
**[09:15] Kafka**
*Hah! That's what you get!*
**[09:18] Mizoguchi**
You too, Kafka.
**[09:19] Mizoguchi**
Follow me.
**[09:19] Kafka**
Me too?!
**[09:21] Kafka**
Two days in a row!
**[09:23] Mizoguchi**
You're good with intestine work, though.
**[09:25] Kafka**
Damn it! Fine, I'll do it!
**[09:30] Mizoguchi**
He complains, but he never says no.
**[09:34] Mizoguchi**
He would've done a great job
in the Defense Force if he'd passed the test.
**[09:42] Background**
You serious?
**[09:47] Kafka**
*Yeah, he's definitely feeling it.*
**[09:52] Kafka**
*And so am I.*
***SIGN*** Tea
**[09:55] Kafka**
You...
**[09:56] Kafka**
Is that lunch box all the food you brought?
**[09:59] Reno**
I don't feel up to eating it.
**[10:02] Sign**
Yeah, I bet.
**[10:04] Kafka**
Here.
**[10:05] Reno**
What?
***SIGN*** Multivitamin
**[10:09] Kafka**
You can have it.
**[10:11] Kafka**
You need to get *something* in your stomach,
**[10:13] Kafka**
or you won't last the afternoon.
**[10:14] Reno**
I'm fine...
**[10:15] Kafka**
And these. You can have these, too.
**[10:17] Kafka**
These help a lot.
**[10:19] Reno**
I can't understand what you're saying,
but I really don't need those.
**[10:25] Kafka**
Quit playing coy and put them in your nose!
**[10:28] Reno**
Stop it! Senpai, really...
**[10:30] Miike**
Yeah, everybody's like
that their first time.
**[10:50] Miike**
You're all responsible
for carrying your own stuff.
**[10:54] Miike**
Good work today!
**[10:55] Yoshimura**
Good work today.
**[10:56] Man**
See you tomorrow.
**[10:58] Kafka**
Sure, goodnight.
**[11:03] Kafka**
Well, at least the smelliest
part of the job is over.
**[11:15] Reno**
Senpai.
**[11:17] Kafka**
Oh, Ichikawa.
**[11:19] Kafka**
What, did you come to get back
at me for what I did at lunch?
**[11:24] Reno**
Thanks to you...
**[11:25] Reno**
Thanks to you, I made
it through my first day.
**[11:30] Reno**
Thank you.
**[11:37] Reno**
That's all.
**[11:39] Reno**
Goodnight.
**[11:43] Reno**
Oh, and...
**[11:46] Reno**
They're raising the age limit to 32.
**[11:49] Reno**
For applicants to the Defense Force.
**[11:53] Reno**
Not enough young people anymore, apparently.
**[11:56] Reno**
I can't tell you what to do
with your life, of course...
**[12:00] Reno**
But when you talked about
giving up, you looked so sad.
**[12:07] Reno**
Of course, I really don't care at all.
**[12:09] Reno**
So if I'm wrong, you can just give up
and I won't care.
**[12:14] Reno**
Goodnight!
**[12:16] Kafka**
Ichikawa!
**[12:20] Kafka**
Thanks.
**[12:21] Kafka**
You're a lot nicer than I thought you were.
**[12:26] Ichikawa**
I told you, I really don't—
**[12:37] Ichikawa**
Senpa—
**[12:46] Ichikawa**
A Yoju?
**[12:50] Kafka**
Ichikawa, run!
**[12:52] Kafka**
Get as far away from here as you can!
**[12:55] Kafka**
Once you're sure you're safe, call it in!
**[12:57] Reno**
You can't fight this thing alone!
**[12:59] Kafka**
Another body won't make any difference!
**[13:01] Kafka**
You want to join the Defense Force, right?
**[13:03] Kafka**
So why would you let
yourself get killed here?!
**[13:18] Kafka**
Over here! I'm the one you want!
**[13:48] Kafka**
*There!*
**[13:56] Kafka**
*Whew!*
**[13:58] Kafka**
*Now it can't follow me...*
**[14:03] Kafka**
Damn it all!
**[14:22] Kafka**
It's all gone...
**[14:24] Kafka**
Your place, my place, our school...
**[14:27] Mina**
Yeah...
**[14:29] Kafka**
I'll get you for this, Kaiju!
**[14:31] Kafka**
I was so close to beating *Guramon*!
**[14:34] Mina**
*That's* what you're sad about?
**[14:43] Mina**
I'm sad that Miiko died.
**[14:49] Kafka**
Miiko, your calico cat?
**[15:08] Both**
I'm going to join the Defense Force!
**[15:12] Sign**
For Miiko
**[15:12] Sign**
Kafka has arrived!
Mina has arrived!
**[15:12] Kafka**
That's dumb. You're just a little kid!
**[15:15] Mina**
You're in elementary school too, Kafka!
**[15:24] Kafka**
All right...
**[15:25] Kafka**
Let's see who can be
a cooler Defense Force officer!
**[15:29] Kafka**
Let's wipe out all the Kaiju together!
**[15:35] Kafka**
*Damn it all!*
**[15:36] Kafka**
*It wasn't supposed to be like this!*
**[15:42] Kafka**
*Damn it...*
**[15:48] Kafka**
*I ain't afraid of you, Kaiju!*
**[15:54] Kafka**
*Aim for the leg...*
**[15:55] Kafka**
*Aim...*
**[16:02] Kafka**
*How did it come to this?*
**[16:04] Kafka**
Let's see who can be
a cooler Defense Force officer!
**[16:38] Kafka**
Ichikawa...
**[16:41] Kafka**
You idiot!
**[16:42] Kafka**
Why?
**[16:43] Reno**
I called it in!
**[16:45] Kafka**
That's not what I meant!
**[16:49] Reno**
If I left you to die here...
**[16:53] Reno**
I'd never make it in the Defense Force!

I would've died today.
**[19:08] Reno**
You were so cool.

Yeah...

*I can't just keep running forever!*
**[19:39] Kafka**
Thanks, Ichikawa.
**[19:43] Kafka**
You really are a nice guy.
**[19:46] Kafka**
I don't think there's anything
wrong with giving up...
**[19:51] Kafka**
But it's not good to lie to yourself.
**[19:54] Kafka**
I'm going to give
the Defense Force another go—

If you encounter a Kaiju,
the first thing you do is target the legs.

You bind it so it can't move...
**[22:49] Mina**
I get a little scared.
**[22:51] Kafka**
Of what?
**[22:53] Mina**
When I imagine fighting a Kaiju
that's so much bigger than I am.
**[23:01] Kafka**
Don't worry!

The Kaiju is fleeing from
Yokohama South General Hospital.
**[04:54] Hoshina**
It's heading for an evacuated area.

**[05:58] Reno**
I don't think that's the only
reason you got the ranking you did.
**[06:05] Hoshina**
Here are the applicants this year.
**[06:07] Hoshina**
A lot look pretty interesting.
**[06:09] Hoshina**
Not that you care about anything
but killing Kaiju, I'm sure.
**[06:15] Mina**
Continue.
**[06:17] Mina**
I'll listen while I work.
**[06:19] Hoshina**
Oh, that's rare.
**[06:21] Hoshina**
The first person I've got my eye on is...
**[06:26] Reno**
Haruichi Izumo.
**[06:27] Haruichi**
Yeah. That's a good idea.
**[06:28] Reno**
Graduated top of his class
from Tokyo Neutralization University.
***SIGN*** Haruichi Izumo
***SIGN*** Fitness Exam Rank 2nd
**[06:31] Reno**
The most promising of this
year's group of new graduates.
**[06:35] Reno**
Then there's Iharu Furuhashi,
**[06:38] Reno**
a powerhouse who was valedictorian
at Hachioji Neutralization Technical College.
***SIGN*** Iharu Furuhashi
***SIGN*** Fitness Exam Rank 3rd
**[06:43] Furuhashi**
Yes!
**[06:45] Reno**
Aoi Kaguragi, the rising star of
the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force.
***SIGN*** Aoi Kaguragi
***SIGN*** Fitness Exam Rank 1st
**[06:49] Reno**
He turned down a sure spot in the
JGSDF elite to come to the Defense Force.
**[06:55] Reno**
And that's not all.
**[06:57] Reno**
There're more applicants from neutralization
universities and colleges than most years.
**[07:01] Reno**
Normally, these people would be trying
to become elite officers, not field agents.
**[07:07] Kafka**
No wonder they all seemed so damn good...
**[07:09] Reno**
And the big one everybody's watching is...
**[07:12] Reno**
Her.
**[07:14] Reno**
Graduated from California
Neutralization at age 16.
**[07:17] Reno**
She skipped grades and became
the youngest ever to do so.
**[07:20] Reno**
They call her the greatest talent ever.
***SIGN*** Kikoru Shinomiya
**[07:24] Reno**
Kikoru Shinomiya.
**[07:26] Iharu**
*I'm gonna kick her ass.*
**[07:28] Haruichi**
* Now, let's see if*
* I've got any hope against her.*
**[07:32] Aoi**
*Let's see what you've got.*
**[07:34] Reno**
It's a group of extremely skilled applicants,
none more so than Kikoru Shinomiya.
**[07:40] Reno**
So you...
**[07:42] Kafka**
So she's...
**[07:44] Kikoru**
Oh?
**[07:45] Kikoru**
Did you finally figure out
how awesome I am, Kafka Hibino?
**[07:49] Kafka**
I had no idea you were so amazing!
**[07:52] Guards**
Don't touch the mistress!
**[07:54] Iharu**
Who the hell is that guy?
**[07:56] Aoi**
Some groupie of Shinomiya's?
**[08:01] Kikoru**
Second time you got
shown up today, Kafka Hibino.
**[08:05] Kikoru**
Let's see how many more times
that'll happen today.
**[08:12] Kafka**
Well, I'm gonna show you up too!
**[08:20] Kafka**
I'm just about screwed, though.
**[08:24] Reno**
There's still hope.
**[08:26] Reno**
For the last two years, the second part of
today's test has been Kaiju corpse disposal.
**[08:32] Kafka**
What?
**[08:33] Reno**
They want to test knowledge of Kaiju,
as well as your ability to work in a group.
**[08:37] Reno**
And also make sure applicants realize that
**[08:40] Reno**
there's more to the job
than just killing Kaiju.
**[08:43] Reno**
That's why I chose to work in disposal
for my part-time job.
**[08:47] Kafka**
Okay!
**[08:48] Reno**
Let's bet it all on the next part!
**[08:50] Kafka**
Right!
***SIGN*** Area 2
***SIGN*** Defense Force
Training Area Two
**[08:52] Kafka**
Wow.
**[08:54] Kafka**
It's huge.
**[08:57] Hoshina**
I'm Third Division Vice-Captain Hoshina.
**[09:02] Hoshina**
I'm the head of the second
stage exam committee this year.
***SIGN*** Third Division
Vice-Captain
Soshiro Hoshina
**[09:05] Hoshina**
You'll be doing your aptitude test
here in this area.
**[09:15] Hoshina**
Your task in this area will be
to find Kaiju and...
**[09:19] Kafka**
*Dispose of their bodies!*
**[09:20] Hoshina**
Neutralize them!
**[09:26] Reno**
*Neutralize...*
**[09:27] Kafka**
*...them?*
**[10:04] Kafka**
What happened to disposing
of their bodies, Ichikawa-san?
**[10:08] Reno**
I just said that's what it was
for the past two years!
**[10:10] Reno**
I'm disappointed too!
**[10:12] Hoshina**
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!
**[21:55] Kafka**
This time...
**[21:58] Kafka**
This time, I'm not giving up, no matter what!

**[01:46] Konomi**
He just stood up on his broken leg, right?
**[01:49] Hoshina**
Well, if that's your choice.

* If I think it looks bad, I'm turning*

Fine by me!

We had a deal, right?

If something happens to me, you can...

I'll back you up.

The broken bone hurts like hell, but...

Right!

C-Can we just pass these guys?

Eat my dust.

Get ready so you can support
her once we catch up!
**[03:29] Kafka**
Right! Leave it to me!
**[03:46] Haruichi**
She's not even letting us help her, huh?
**[04:04] Konomi**
Number 2016 has taken down

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.*
**[05:36] Mina**
Kikoru Shinomiya's even more
powerful than the rumors say.
**[05:39] Hoshina**
*So she's enough to catch even your eye, huh?*
**[05:42] Hoshina**
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
from Director Shinomiya's daughter.
**[05:56] Hoshina**
She'll be a big shot in the Defense Force
someday, that's for sure.
**[06:00] Hoshina**
And a ray of hope for this country.

But thanks to her, we made it to the end.

Now we just wait for the results.

*I can still fight!*
**[07:22] Kikoru**
What the hell are you?
**[07:26] No.9**
You're still moving?
**[07:29] Kikoru**
*It can* talk*?!*
**[07:36] No.9**
What's going on with that skin of yours?
**[07:40] No.9**
There, there. I'll let you handle this.
**[07:42] Kikoru**
*It's a Kaiju, but it's intelligent!*
**[07:44] Kikoru**
*What's going on?*
**[07:45] Kikoru**
Die!
**[07:47] No.9**
Make sure you chew before you swallow.
**[07:56] Konomi**
Something's wrong!
**[07:57] Konomi**
Abnormalities detected in 2016's vitals!
**[08:00] Hoshina**
What's going on? What's happening out there?
**[08:03] Konomi**
I don't know!
**[08:04] Konomi**
But we're picking up live signals
from the Kaiju they already killed!
**[08:11] Hoshina**
What?
**[08:12] Hoshina**
Those Kaiju shouldn't be able to
come back to life like that...
**[08:15] Konomi**
We have an estimated fortitude
for the revived Honju!
**[08:17] Konomi**
It's 6.4!
**[08:19] Hoshina**
*It's more powerful now?*
**[08:21] Hoshina**
*You'd need a whole company to handle that.*
**[08:23] Hoshina**
* The only ones here capable of taking*
* that thing down fast would be...*

**[08:29] Operator**

**[08:30] Mina**

and get me a camera feed.

Hoshina, we're heading out there.

Be perfect, for the sake

**[09:21] Kikoru**
I need to be perfect!

Wow!

**[09:55] Risa**

Don't pat me on the head like that,

**[10:32] Isao**
You got the top score?
**[10:34] Isao**
Of course you did. Who cares?
**[10:37] Isao**
Rejoicing over a single success will
only lead to failure next time.
**[10:42] Isao**
Get ready for your next goal immediately.

*No...*
**[11:40] Konomi**
Honju sighted!
**[11:41] Konomi**
Kikoru Shinomiya is nearby, and injured!
**[11:45] Konomi**
The Honju's severed offensive
uniorgan has regenerated!

It's condensing energy for an attack!

**[12:20] Kikoru**
I'm sorry.
**[12:27] Kafka**
You did a great job, Kikoru!
**[12:31] Kikoru**
What are you doing here?
**[12:47] Kafka**
Because you worked so hard,
everybody was able to evacuate!
**[12:53] Kafka**
Now leave the rest to me!
**[13:04] Iharu**
What the hell was that explosion?
**[13:06] Iharu**
Damn it!
**[13:07] Iharu**
Get a move on!
**[13:09] Iharu**
Get your asses into the shelter!
**[13:13] Examinees**
A signal flare?
**[13:15] Examinees**
You can run there, right?
**[13:16] Examinees**
Y-Yeah.
**[13:20] Haruichi**
He's guiding our evacuation, huh?
**[13:22] Haruichi**
That's why he's the JSDF's rising star!
**[13:26] Reno**
*Kafka-senpai...*
**[13:29] Announcer**
Emergency.
**[13:30] Announcer**
Examinees are to immediately
evacuate to the nearest shelter.
**[13:31] Reno**
Senpai, let's get out of here!
**[13:33] Man**
The Honju came back to life!
**[13:35] Man**
Don't head that way!
**[13:37] Man**
Shinomiya is fighting it right now!
**[13:38] Man**
I told HQ!
**[13:40] Man**
Everyone get out of here! That's an order!
**[13:42] Reno**
Senpai, you heard that, right?
**[13:45] Reno**
He's already gone!
**[13:47] Reno**
*He's not going to transform, right?*
**[13:51] Reno**
*He's not, right?*
**[13:54] Reno**
*If he turns into a Kaiju right now,
he'll be killed 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!*
**[19:58] Kikoru**
Daddy, I couldn't be perfect...
**[20:05] Kikoru**
I...
**[20:09] Kikoru**
Daddy?
**[20:13] Hoshina**
Oh, just stay there.
**[20:16] Kikoru**
Vice-Captain Hoshina.
**[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?
**[20:38] Kafka**
I'm glad you're safe!
**[20:42] Kikoru**
No, I defeated that Kaiju.

I'm not seeing any big surprises here.
**[03:19] Haruichi**
I don't see Shinomiya's groupie, though.

You wanted him to pass?

I suppose we'll be competing

The induction ceremony will now begin.
**[04:56] Komaki**
Kikoru Shinomiya will speak
on behalf of the incoming class!
**[04:59] Kikoru**
Yes, ma'am!
**[05:11] Mina**
The twenty-seven of you are,

**[05:15] Mina**
officers in the Defense Force!
**[05:23] Kikoru**
On behalf of all 27 of us, I swear that
we will lay down our lives for the cause!

You helped a lot during

Thanks to you, there were no casualties.

Again, you have my thanks.

*It wasn't me who defeated them.*

**[06:15] Iharu**

**[06:19] Komaki**
Number 2032. Kafka Hibino. Failed.
**[06:23] Komaki**
He scored the lowest on the fitness exam
**[06:25] Komaki**
and a zero on his aptitude test,
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.*
**[07:21] Iharu**
*As a cadet, though.*
**[07:23] Aoi**
*That's a surprise.*
**[07:29] Hoshino**
All right, now that we're all here,
let's have a word from Captain Ashiro.
**[07:36] Mina**
Everyone, I'm glad that you all decided
to volunteer for the Defense Force,
**[07:41] Mina**
enduring and passing that difficult exam.
**[07:44] Mina**
I thank you.
**[07:46] Mina**
These last few years,
**[07:47] Mina**
we've seen far more Kaiju with far
higher fortitudes than was typical before.
**[07:54] Mina**
We've also now seen this strange incident
where dead Kaiju came back to life.
**[07:58] Mina**
These neutralization missions
will be extremely dangerous.
**[08:02] Mina**
Some of you may die on your very first one.
**[08:05] Mina**
There's absolutely no guarantee
that you'll survive.
**[08:08] Mina**
But even so...
No, that's exactly *why*...
**[08:12] Mina**
I want you to entrust your lives to me.
**[08:17] Mina**
I swear to be standing at the very front,
acting as both your shield and spear!
**[08:25] Kafka**
I'll...
**[08:27] Kafka**
I'll be standing next to you soon, Mina!
***SIGN*** Huh?
***SIGN*** Huh?
***SIGN*** Awkward
**[08:34] Officers**
What the hell?!
**[08:35] Officers**
He's gone crazy!
**[08:36] Officers**
He's calling Captain
Ashiro by her first name!
***SIGN*** Oops
**[08:42] Mina**
Kaf...
**[08:45] Mina**
Kafka Hibino.
**[08:46] Mina**
You spoke out of turn and
disrespected a superior officer.
**[08:49] Mina**
You owe me one hundred push-ups.
**[08:52] Kafka**
*I didn't mean to say that out loud!*
**[08:56] Hoshino**
He's already at it!
**[08:58] Hoshino**
Captain Ashiro, I think you're going
a little easy on the guy...
**[09:05] Hoshino**
Huh?
**[09:06] Hoshino**
*Did I just see her smile?*
**[09:08] Komaki**
He just got here. and he's
already bringing the comedy?
**[09:12] Hoshino**
I know, right? I told you.
**[09:15] Hoshino**
This place can get pretty gloomy sometimes.
**[09:17] Hoshino**
We need a guy like him.
**[09:20] Hoshino**
*Well, that's only half the story.*
**[09:23] Hoshino**
* When those Kaiju started*
* coming back from the dead,*
**[09:25] Hoshino**
* we suddenly saw*
* a 9.8 fortitude Kaiju signal.*
**[09:29] Hoshino**
*I still think it was just a busted sensor,*
**[09:31] Hoshino**
* but at the same time,*
* somebody's vitals stopped coming in.*
**[09:35] Hoshino**
*Kafka Hibino...*
**[09:37] Hoshino**
*There's something strange about him,*
**[09:39] Hoshino**
* and not just the fact*
* that his suit aptitude was zero.*
**[09:42] Hoshino**
* I'm going to keep him close*
* and find out what that "something" is.*
**[09:46] Kafka**
Ninety-nine...
**[09:48] Kafka**
One hundred!
**[09:52] Iharu**
You really hung in there, old dude!
**[09:55] Kikoru**
Kafka Hibino.
**[09:58] Kikoru**
Come with me. We need to talk.
**[10:00] Kafka**
What, we can't do it here?
**[10:02] Kikoru**
But if we did it here...
**[10:04] Iharu**
Are you confessing your love?
**[10:06] Kikoru**
It is not!
**[10:07] Reno**
Senpai!
**[10:08] Kafka**
So it's one of those "meet me
after school behind the gym" things?
**[10:12] Kikoru**
Just come with me!
**[10:19] Kikoru**
You ate a Kaiju and turned into one?
**[10:22] Kikoru**
I can't believe it!
**[10:24] 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!
**[11:01] Kikoru**
Save an old man's life!
**[11:03] Kikoru**
You're too close! Way too close!
**[11:04] Kafka**
Please, please, please!
**[11:07] Kikoru**
Fine.
**[11:08] Kikoru**
You did save my life,
so I'll keep quiet about it for now.
**[11:12] Kikoru**
In exchange,
**[11:14] Kikoru**
if I find out that you're
a Kaiju that's going to harm mankind,
**[11:19] Kikoru**
I'll kill you.
**[11:25] Kafka**
Yeah.
**[11:28] Kafka**
If that happens, I'm counting on you!
**[11:43] Reno**
*Arms tight against your sides, wrists slack.*
**[11:45] Reno**

**[12:19] Iharu**
*Reno set another personal best!*
**[12:23] Iharu**
Come on!

*Iharu Furuhashi, 2:15.*

**[12:39] Iharu**
Hell yeah!
**[12:43] Iharu**
I win!
**[12:44] Iharu**
Don't get cocky, Reno.
**[12:46] Reno**
I won't.
**[12:51] AI**
Kikoru Shinomiya, 1:16.
**[12:53] AI**
Estimated unleashed combat power, 55%.
**[12:58] Kikoru**
Play nice, kids.
**[13:00] Kikoru**
Both of your scores combined
are still worse than mine.
**[13:03] Haruichi**
Sheesh.
**[13:04] Haruichi**
The more I train, the more she makes me
realize just how average I am.
**[13:08] Aoi**
You've got time to worry
about people better than you?
**[13:11] Aoi**
My combat power's as good as yours now.
**[13:18] Haruichi**
*I've got to worry about those above me
*and *those below me, huh?*
**[13:21] Haruichi**
I'll set a new best when it's my turn, Aoi.

Yes!
**[13:38] Kafka**
Did you see that, Kikoru?
**[13:39] Kafka**
I finally turned that zero into a one!
**[13:42] Kikoru**
Stay away from me!
**[13:43] Kafka**
Well? Tell me how awesome I am.
**[13:44] Kikoru**
Why are you acting so happy
when you're 1% and I'm 55%?
**[13:48] Hoshino**
Kafka!
**[13:49] Kafka**
Yes, Vice-Captain Hoshina?
**[13:51] Hoshino**
You're never gonna be
a full officer at this rate.
**[13:54] Hoshino**
You'll be fired in three months.
**[13:55] Sign**
What?
**[13:56] Iharu**
Old dude...
**[13:59] Hoshino**
Okay, ten laps around the perimeter
and we call it a day.
**[14:02] All**
What?
**[14:04] Hoshino**
You complained, so now it's fifteen.
**[14:06] Hoshino**
Get going!
**[14:07] All**
Yes, sir!
**[14:08] Komaki**
The new recruits have quite
a few rivalries between them already, huh?
**[14:12] Hoshino**
Yeah.
**[14:13] Hoshino**
Looks like, even when I'm not around,
**[14:14] Hoshino**
they're competing with each other
and making each other better.
**[14:21] Kafka**
I'm so tired!
**[14:23] Kafka**
We had to do laps at the end, too...
The vice-captain is a monster.
**[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.
**[14:50] Kafka**
Behold the muscles
of a hard-working grown-up!
**[14:55] Iharu**
Wow, you're getting some bulk...
***SIGN*** Exhale
***SIGN*** Bounce
**[15:00] Iharu**
Aww, so close!
**[15:03] Iharu**
You can't be in the Defense
Force with a spare tire!
**[15:05] Reno**
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!
**[15:13] Kafka**
Forget the stomach.
**[15:15] Kafka**
I challenge you all to arm wrestling!
**[15:17] Iharu**
Yer on!
**[15:18] Reno**
All right.
**[15:19] Kafka**
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!
**[15:57] Kikoru**
But did you expect any less?
**[15:59] Hakua**
That's right.
**[16:01] Minase**
Excuse us!
**[16:03] Mina**
It's fine.
**[16:04] Mina**
It's about time for me to head out.
**[16:06] All**
Thank you!
**[16:11] Mina**
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!
**[18:17] Kafka**
She took care of the class
pets in elementary school...
**[18:19] Iharu**
Give us more.
**[18:21] Kafka**
And then... and then...
***SIGN*** Hours
***SIGN*** Women's Bath
**[18:24] Kikoru**
That was a great bath.
**[18:27] Kikoru**
Hmm?
**[18:29] Kikoru**
Did a serial killer come through here?
**[18:31] Minase**
Oh, Kikorun.
**[18:33] Minase**
They ended up talking so much
they stayed in the bath too long.
**[18:37] Akari**
They were talking
about Captain Ashiro, they said.
**[18:40] Kikoru**
Stupid boys.
**[20:26] Kafka**
*I don't have a lot of time.*
**[20:27] Kafka**
* I'll have to work twice*
* as hard as everybody.*
**[20:31] Hoshina**
Working hard, huh?
**[20:33] Kafka**
Vice-Captain Hoshina!
**[20:35] Hoshina**
Getting your Zs is part of the job too.
**[20:40] Kafka**
I can't let myself get fired.
**[20:43] Hoshina**
For Captain Ashiro?
**[20:44] Kafka**
How did you know?!
**[20:46] Hoshina**
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.
**[21:16] Hoshina**
Fine.
**[21:18] Hoshina**
You've got two more hours.
**[21:20] Hoshina**
Turn off the lights when
you leave and lock the door.
**[21:26] Hoshina**
I'm not letting you have my
spot next to Captain Ashiro.
**[21:31] Kafka**
Thank you—
**[21:32] Hoshina**
And...
**[21:34] Hoshina**
You shouldn't get too close
to the rest of the officers.
**[21:40] Hoshina**
In this line of work, something could
happen to any one of them at any time.
**[21:49] Reno**
A Kaiju?
**[21:52] Haruichi**
This isn't a training exercise, is it?
**[21:57] Hoshina**
See what I just said?
**[22:01] Hoshina**
Let's go. It's time for your first mission.

And the Honju?
**[00:52] Konomi**
It first appeared at Kannawa Fault
**[00:54] Konomi**
and moved underground
while growing larger.
**[00:57] Konomi**
It's believed to have surfaced
because it's entered its breeding phase.
**[01:01] Konomi**
The appearance of the Honju has been followed
by the appearance of a large number of Yoju.
**[01:05] Nakanoshima**
Come on, how many of these things are there?
**[01:08] Hoshina**
Fortunately, the neutralization area
isn't that far away.
**[01:11] Mina**
If we want to minimize damage
to the surrounding area,
**[01:13] Mina**
our best option is to defeat the Honju
in the central Sector Bravo.
**[01:19] Mina**
I'll handle the Honju.
**[01:22] Mina**
Sector Echo will serve as the sniper point.
**[01:24] Mina**
We'll be able to target the enemies
from alongside Highway 16.
**[01:29] Mina**
This operation will be designated
as the Sagamihara Neutralization Operation.

how much damage is dealt,
**[05:13] Hoshina**
how much it costs to rebuild from
that damage, and how long it'll take.
**[05:16] Hoshina**
Of course, any platoon with new
recruits will be placed at the very rear.
**[05:20] Hoshina**
But that also means...
**[05:23] Hoshina**
You're our last line of defense.
**[05:29] Hoshina**
Anybody got questions?
**[05:38] Hoshina**
Good.
**[05:41] Hoshina**
No matter how good your scores
are during training,
**[05:44] Hoshina**
that won't save a single life.
**[05:47] Hoshina**
It's time, recruits. Show me
what you can do on the battlefield.
**[05:55] Iharu**
All right, let's go!
**[06:06] Hoshina**
Have fun out there, guys.
**[06:08] Soldier**
This is the JSDF Artillery
Regiment Command Post.
**[06:11] Soldier**
Civilian evacuation and
command post construction complete.
**[06:14] Konomi**
Message received.
Thank you for your cooperation.
**[06:17] Konomi**
All platoons and all JSDF
forces are ready to go.
**[06:21] Konomi**
Eight minutes until
Captain Ashiro reaches her position.
**[06:24] Reno**
*It's time, right, Senpai?*
**[06:27] Kafka**
Yeah.
**[06:28] Kafka**
During this mission,
I have to prove I can do the job.
**[06:31] Hoshina**
You're never gonna be
a full officer at this rate.
**[06:34] Hoshina**
You'll be fired in three months.
**[06:37] Kafka**
I won't get another shot.
**[06:39] Kafka**
*Nervousness. Panic.*
**[06:42] Kafka**
I'm feeling all kinds of pressure.
**[06:45] Kafka**
But for some reason...
**[06:49] Kafka**
I'm also incredibly excited!
**[06:53] Reno**
*Yeah, that's right.*
**[06:55] Reno**
*This is the job you've always wanted.*
**[06:59] Reno**
*Senpai.*
**[07:02] Reno**
Let's make sure our first mission
is a big success!
**[07:06] Kafka**
Right!
**[07:07] Konomi**
*Yoju sighted in Sector Echo!*
**[07:10] Kafka**
They're here.
**[07:15] Kafka**
Time to go, Kikoru.
**[07:18] Kikoru**
Why are you telling me what to do?
**[07:22] Kafka**
Don't die out there, Ichikawa!
**[07:23] Reno**
*You too, Senpai!*
**[07:27] Kafka**
Okay!
**[07:29] Kafka**
Time to make my first mission a big success!
**[07:51] Konomi**
Captain Ashiro has reached the sniper point.
**[07:55] Konomi**
Please lure the Honju to Sector Bravo
and provide fire support.
**[07:59] Soldier**
*Roger that.*
**[08:00] Soldier**

**[08:32] Hoshina**
Time for your big debut.
**[08:35] Hoshina**
Start by showing your superiors
just how damn good you really are.
**[08:42] Kafka**
*It's begun.*
**[08:45] Kafka**
*But it's not like the exam.*
**[08:48] Kafka**
*I feel strangely calm...*
**[08:52] Kafka**
*I can tell the suit is helping me.*
**[09:00] Kafka**
*Unleashing combat power!*
**[09:07] Kikoru**
You're too far out in front!
**[09:08] Kikoru**
Your combat power is 1%,
so stay in the rear!
**[09:11] Officer**
Sheesh.
**[09:13] Officer**
Why do we have to babysit the new kids?
**[09:16] Officer**
Can't you guys just go someplace
you won't get in our way and watch?
**[09:21] Officer**
Listen up!
**[09:22] Officer**
We don't know the enemy's vulnerable points.
**[09:24] Officer**
Play it safe until we get info
from the guys on the front line.
**[09:30] Kikoru**
Roger that.
**[09:31] Kikoru**
I'll play it safe and blast anything
that could be a weak point.
**[09:46] Officer**
*What the hell?*
**[09:48] Officer**
* That's not the kind of firepower*
* you see from a rookie!*
**[09:53] Officer**
*So that's the power of Kikoru Shinomiya.*
**[09:55] Kafka**
Kikoru...
**[09:57] Kafka**
Nice!
**[10:00] Kikoru**

There we go!
**[10:34] Iharu**
You see that, Reno?
**[10:43] Iharu**
Did you do that by yourself?
**[10:47] Reno**
Yes.
**[10:49] Reno**
I swapped out the burst rounds
in my gun for freeze rounds.
**[10:54] Reno**
I think it's a better fit for my style.
**[10:55] Reno**
I can slow down the enemy while I fight.
**[10:58] Reno**
I think, once I get the hang of this,
I'll be even better at hunting Kaiju.
**[11:06] Reno**
*I'm not there yet.*
**[11:07] Reno**
*I need to get stronger.*

**[11:40] Officer**
Platoon Leader Nakanoshima!
**[11:41] Officer**
What's going on with those guys?
I'm losing my self-confidence here!
**[11:45] Nakanoshima**
Hmm, I knew it was
a good batch this year,
**[11:49] Nakanoshima**
but not *this* good.
**[11:50] Aoi**
I've taken down six already.
**[11:53] Aoi**
You're going a little slow,
aren't you, Haruichi?
**[11:55] Haruichi**
Right, right.
**[11:56] Haruichi**
Don't forget that you only got four
of those six 'cause I backed you up.
**[12:01] Nakanoshima**
One's a wild child.
One's the clean-cut type.
***SIGN*** Cougar Mode
**[12:06] Nakanoshima**
Yeah, it's a good year.
**[12:08] Officer**
You're talking about their looks?
**[12:10] Nakanoshima**
Vice-Captain Hoshina told me
there are a few really good ones.
**[12:14] Nakanoshima**
But that's not all.
**[12:16] Nakanoshima**
The average unleashed combat power of
the new recruits is higher than in most years.
**[12:21] Nakanoshima**
The guys at the top are motivating
the others to do better.
**[12:25] Aoi**
*Number eight!*
**[12:26] Haruichi**
*That was totally my kill!*
**[12:28] Konomi**
Our observation teams have verified
that Sector Juliet is clear of Yoju.
**[12:31] Konomi**
All Yoju have been defeated.
**[12:33] Kafka**
*The kill reports keep coming.*
**[12:36] Kafka**
*They're all amazing!*
**[12:37] Konomi**
* Ikaruga Platoon will advance,*
* with Ichikawa and Furuhashi at the forefront.*
**[12:42] Kafka**
Ichikawa and Iharu, too?
**[12:45] Kafka**
*This is no good.*
**[12:46] Kafka**
* Everyone's working so hard,*
* and I'm just slowing them down.*
**[12:49] Kafka**
*Isn't there anything I can do?*
**[12:53] Kafka**
*Wait, didn't he just say...*
**[12:55] Officer**
Listen up!
**[12:56] Officer**
We don't know the enemy's vulnerable points.
**[12:58] Officer**
Play it safe until we get info

**[13:07] Kafka**
*I'll fight with my own weapons!*
**[13:11] Officer**
Senpai, look!
**[13:15] Officer**
What the hell's he doing?
**[13:18] Kafka**
*Wow, even with just 1%,*
**[13:20] Kafka**
* the suit makes it easy*
* to dismantle their bodies.*
**[13:24] Kafka**
*If they could mass-produce these things,*
**[13:26] Kafka**
* it'd be nice if they gave some*
* to the cleanup industry.*
**[13:32] Kafka**
* This is a pretty standard structure*
* for fungal-type Kaiju,*
**[13:36] Kafka**
*but the core's not where it usually is.*
**[13:40] Kafka**
*Where is it?*
**[13:41] Kafka**
*If it's not here, then maybe over there?*
**[13:46] Kafka**
*Wait a second...*
**[13:49] Kafka**
* Vice-Captain Hoshina,*
* I've located the Yoju core.*
**[13:52] Hoshina**
What?
**[13:52] Kafka**
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**
The white, bumpy organs near their rears.
**[14:15] Kafka**
If we don't destroy those organs,
their corpses might spawn new Yoju.
**[14:21] Hoshina**
*Kafka.*
**[14:23] Hoshina**
That's some damn fine work.
**[14:26] Hoshina**
* Okonogi-chan, share that news*
* with the rest of the team.*
**[14:29] Konomi**
Roger that.
**[14:30] Konomi**
Sharing information on Yoju core
and reproductive organs with all officers.
**[14:35] Hoshina**
* I'm sure you picked up some*
* of that at your last job,*
**[14:37] Hoshina**
*but I guess your studying really paid off.*
**[14:40] Hoshina**
*Well done.*
**[14:43] Kafka**
*I helped the Defense Force!*
**[14:48] Kafka**
I'll go neutralize all the corpses
of the defeated Yoju!
**[14:52] Kafka**
* I'll do everything I can, no matter*
* what it is, until I reach Mina's side!*
**[15:03] Kafka**
What?
**[15:04] Hoshina**
*Looks like they've started for the day too.*
**[15:06] Konomi**
Honju has reached the designated
combat initiation point.
**[15:10] Konomi**
JSDF ground and air forces
are requested to withdraw.
**[15:13] Konomi**
The Defense Force will initiate
an attack on the Honju's legs.
**[15:18] Konomi**
Please keep it pinned
down as long as you can.
**[15:30] Mina**
Target sighted.
**[15:31] Mina**
Compensation for Coriolis force,
gravitational force complete.
**[15:34] Mina**
No additional targets in area.
**[15:37] Mina**
One round loaded and ready to fire.
**[15:39] Konomi**
*Roger.*
**[15:40] Konomi**
*All conditions met for firing to commence.*
**[15:42] Konomi**
*You are cleared to fire.*
**[15:44] Kafka**
Let's see who can be
a cooler Defense Force officer!
**[15:50] Mina**
Kafka-kun...
**[15:51] Mina**
This is who I am right now.
**[16:09] Suit**
*Unleashed combat power, 96%.*
**[16:13] Hoshina**
Watch this one closely, Kafka.
**[16:17] Mina**
Fire.
**[16:31] Hoshina**
* That's the power of the person*
* you're trying to stand beside.*
**[16:39] Mina**
Second round loaded and ready to fire.
**[16:41] Konomi**
*Roger.*
**[16:42] Konomi**
*You are cleared to fire.*
**[16:51] Konomi**
*Honju vital signs have disappeared.*
**[16:54] Konomi**
*It's collapsing!*
**[17:06] Mina**
Third round loaded and ready to fire.
**[17:07] Konomi**
*R-Roger.*
**[17:09] Konomi**
*You are cleared to fire.*
**[17:17] Konomi**
Honju has taken critical damage
and has stopped moving entirely.
**[17:22] Konomi**
That's the captain for you.
**[17:25] Mina**
*Fourth round loaded and ready to fire.*
**[17:29] Konomi**
*B-But the Honju is already down...*
**[17:32] Mina**
Give the order.
**[17:33] Konomi**
*R-Roger.*
**[17:37] Kafka**
*Damn it!*
**[17:38] Kafka**
* It's totally different from when you look*
* at it on TV or through binoculars!*
**[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

**[20:11] Both**

**[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.

**[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!
**[07:42] No. 9**
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.
**[08:36] Reno**
Iharu-kun.
**[08:40] No. 9**
Not sure what I'm seeing here.
**[08:42] Reno**
Didn't you go to get help?
**[08:45] Iharu**
Shaddup!
**[08:46] Iharu**
If I hadn't come back,
you'd be dead right now!
**[08:50] No. 9**
Oh, you were trying to get him out of here?
**[08:55] No. 9**
That won't work.
**[08:56] No. 9**
Nothing, living or otherwise,
can leave this space without my permission.
**[09:02] Iharu**
You heard the guy.
**[09:03] Iharu**
Gotta fight, then.
**[09:08] Iharu**
Let's take him down together, Reno!
**[09:14] Iharu**
I ain't doing so good, though.
**[09:16] Iharu**
I'll back you up, get you an opening.
**[09:19] Iharu**
So hit him as hard as you can!
**[09:22] Reno**
Right!
**[09:25] Iharu**
Let's go, Reno!
**[09:32] Reno**
A conductor round?
**[09:33] Iharu**
You aren't the only one who's
trying all the different bullets!
**[09:37] No. 9**
This stuff makes it hard to move.
**[09:39] No. 9**
Guess I'll stop him first.
**[09:41] Iharu**
*Focus.*
**[09:43] Iharu**
* You've already taken a hit from him once.*
* You know how the timing works!*
**[09:50] No. 9**
Him too, huh?
**[09:55] Iharu**
Now, Reno!
**[09:58] Reno**
Unleash maximum combat power!
**[10:02] Reno**
* Please, God... just this once...*
* just this one moment...*
**[10:08] Reno**
* Give me more power*
* than Shinomiya or Captain Ashiro!*
**[10:30] Iharu**
What the hell?
**[10:34] Reno**
A wall of corpses?
**[10:37] No. 9**
Oh...
**[10:40] No. 9**
From the look of it...
**[10:45] No. 9**
I guess you're screwed, huh?
**[10:49] Iharu**
Reno!
**[11:01] Ikaruga**
* Vice-Captain Hoshina,*
* this is Platoon Leader Ikaruga.*
**[11:04] Hoshina**
What's up?
**[11:05] Ikaruga**
* We've lost contact*
* with Ichikawa and Furuhashi.*
**[11:10] Hoshina**
What?
**[11:11] Ikaruga**
*We've lost communication and vitals signals.*
**[11:16] Kafka**
*Ichikawa?*
**[11:19] Officer**
Did I just see that thing move?
**[11:24] Shinomiya**
Kafka Hibino!
**[11:26] Kafka**
Kikoru! Does this mean...?
**[11:28] Shinomiya**
Yeah.
**[11:29] Shinomiya**
He's here.
**[11:32] Kafka**
Ichikawa... Iharu!
**[11:36] Iharu**
Reno!
**[11:41] Reno**
*My whole body is burning...*
**[11:45] Reno**
* I need to have the suit stop*
* the bleeding and stand up.*
**[11:48] Reno**
*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**
A-Another humanoid type?
**[14:44] No. 9**
Oh, so that's you, huh?
**[14:48] No. 9**
You're...
**[14:50] No. 9**
Kaiju No. 8.
**[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**
Senpai...
**[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.
**[15:57] Reno**
*He managed to hurt Senpai in his Kaiju form?*
**[16:00] No. 9**
I see. You're tough.
If I'm gonna kill you...
**[16:06] No. 9**
I'm probably gonna need about this much.
**[16:10] Iharu**
* He wasn't taking the fight*
* with us seriously at all?!*
**[16:15] Reno**
Senpai, run!
**[16:17] Kafka**
Oh...
**[16:18] Kafka**
So this is the stuff you've been shooting
them with, over and over again?
**[16:40] No. 9**
*Huh?*
**[16:45] No. 9**
*What?*
**[16:50] Iharu**
The wall of corpses?
**[16:52] No. 9**
*I'll heal while I have the chance...*
**[16:56] No. 9**
*What?*
**[16:57] No. 9**
*What is this guy?*
**[17:00] No. 9**
*Protect...*
**[17:01] No. 9**
*Can't take... direct hit...*
**[17:04] No. 9**
*He's pushing me back?*
**[17:06] No. 9**
*Abnormal...*
**[17:07] No. 9**
*Something's wrong...*
**[17:09] No. 9**
* The damage I've taken*
* is taking too long to repair...*
**[17:12] No. 9**
*Confusion...*
**[17:13] No. 9**
*Temporary retreat...*
**[17:17] No. 9**
*No opportunity to retreat.*
**[17:19] Kafka**
Your core's in your torso, right?
**[17:24] Kafka**
Brace yourself, 'cause
I'm about to punch a hole in it!
**[17:28] No. 9**
*Oh, this is bad.*
**[17:47] No. 9**
*Oh no. My core is completely exposed.*
**[18:00] Kafka**
It's over.
**[18:06] Officers**
Th-This is Ikaruga Platoon!
We've discovered a humanoid Kaiju!
**[18:16] Shinomiya**
It's not strong enough!
**[18:33] Shinomiya**
How far did he go?
**[18:40] Shinomiya**
You're going to find Reno and Iharu?
**[18:43] Shinomiya**
Their communications are offline,
and we can't even detect their vitals!
**[18:46] Shinomiya**
How?
**[18:47] Kafka**
If they're with that other humanoid...
**[18:53] Kafka**
I should be able to sense him.
**[18:59] Kafka**
Kikoru.
**[19:00] Kafka**
Take care of things while I'm gone!
**[19:04] Shinomiya**
Wait!
**[19:07] Shinomiya**
*He transformed right here?*
**[19:10] Officers**
*This is Ikaruga Platoon!*
**[19:12] Officers**
* We've discovered a humanoid Kaiju*
* in the southeast of Sector Foxtrot,*
**[19:17] Officers**
*It matches the description of Kaiju No. 8!*
**[19:20] Hoshina**
Roger.
**[19:21] Hoshina**
Sending a neutralization unit now.
**[19:24] Shinomiya**
That idiot...
**[19:30] No. 9**
The mimetic space was destroyed, huh?
**[19:34] No. 9**
But that gave me the opportunity I needed.
**[19:38] Kafka**
Crap!
**[19:40] No. 9**
I now understand how you work.
**[19:42] No. 9**
Next time, I can kill you.
**[19:45] Kafka**
I won't let you go!
**[19:53] No. 9**
You behave like a human,
even though you're a Kaiju.
**[19:58] No. 9**
We'll meet again, Kaiju No. 8.
**[20:03] Kafka**
Damn it! I've got no choice
but to get out of here myself!
**[20:13] Officers**
He got away!
**[20:15] Officers**
Help the wounded!
**[20:17] Kafka**
*Good.*
**[20:19] Kafka**
* I let the humanoid type get away,*
* but I did what I set out to do.*
**[20:35] Hoshina**
A coal-black body
and a skull face, like a demon.
**[20:42] Hoshina**
I've finally found you, Kaiju No. 8.
**[20:48] Kafka**
Ho...
**[20:49] Kafka**
*Vice-Captain Hoshina!*
**[20:51] Hoshina**
This is Hoshina.
**[20:52] Hoshina**
I've made contact with Kaiju No. 8
in Sector Foxtrot.
**[21:00] Hoshina**
Looks like you've been
having some fun with my men.
**[21:05] Reno**
*No, Vice-Captain Hoshina...*
**[21:08] Reno**
*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.
**[21:55] Konomi**
*Roger!*
**[21:59] Hoshina**
I'll be the one to...
**[22:02] Suit**
*Unleashed combat power, 92%!*
**[22:07] Hoshina**
...neutralize No. 8.

***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.
**[21:41] Kafka**
Roger!
**[22:06] Kaiju No. 10**
Initiate descent.

***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.
**[00:50] Hoshina**
You can have 1% of my expectations.
**[00:59] Kafka**
I can't let him down!
**[01:02] Kafka**
Okay, I've finally taken the first step!
**[01:06] Kafka**
Time to get some sleep
so I can be ready for tomorrow.
**[01:10] Kafka**
Getting rest is part of the job, too...
***SIGN*** Episode 9 Raid on Tachikawa Base
**[03:33] Hoshina**
Operation room, what's going on?
**[03:35] Konomi**
We're seeing dozens of Kaiju inside the base!
**[03:38] Konomi**
It appears the Kaiju have
attacked us from the air!
**[03:43] Konomi**
Estimated fortitudes 6.1, 6.3, 6.2, 6.5...
**[03:49] Konomi**
Each and every one of them is...
**[03:50] Men**
K-Kaiju!
**[03:53] Konomi**
...Honju class?!
**[04:10] Hoshina**
This is Hoshina.
**[04:11] Hoshina**
Captain Ashiro is away,
so I'll be giving the orders here.
**[04:15] Hoshina**
Anybody who's on night watch,
take battle stations.
**[04:18] Hoshina**
Get the off-duty officers here, too.
**[04:21] Hoshina**
All hands, prepare for combat.
**[04:22] Konomi**
Roger!
**[04:23] Hoshina**
*Lure as many as you can into the training area!*
**[04:25] Hoshina**
*Make damn sure none of them get off the base!*
**[04:28] Hoshina**
* But we're not hearing any reports*
* of damage from outside the base...*
**[04:32] Hoshina**
*That can't mean...*
**[04:35] Hoshina**
*Are they after the base itself?*
**[04:40] Kafka**
What's going on?
**[04:43] Kafka**
The base...
**[04:45] Kafka**
is on fire!
**[04:49] Kafka**
Wyvern-type Kaiju?
**[04:51] Kafka**
Those things are bad news...
**[04:57] Kafka**
*Wyvern types?*
**[04:59] Kafka**
*But then... that means something's not right.*
**[05:05] Hoshina**
Get anybody who uses a rifle
together at the base's center.
**[05:07] Hoshina**
We'll lure them in and shoot them down.
**[05:09] Men**
Roger!
**[05:14] Kafka**
*Vice-Captain!*
**[05:15] Hoshina**
Kafka! You're still alive, huh?
**[05:17] Kafka**
*Yes.*
**[05:18] Kafka**
But there's something wrong here.
**[05:20] Hoshina**
Tell me.
**[05:22] Kafka**
You only see about a dozen or so
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**
I-It's strong...
**[14:39] Hoshina**
*But that's not all.*

*enjoying the fight.*
**[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.
**[16:01] Suit**
*Unleashed combat power, 92%!*
**[16:05] Hoshina**
All right, time to neutralize this Kaiju.
**[16:13] Minase**
They're so powerful!
**[16:20] Kafka**
*I won't make it in time...*
**[16:22] Kafka**
*If I just transform part of my body...*
**[16:38] Minase**
H-Hibino-san?
**[16:40] Kafka**
You okay, Minase?
**[16:42] Minase**
Thanks!
**[16:43] Minase**
I guess you learned to use your suit, huh?
**[16:50] Kafka**
W-Well, I am a full officer,
you know! So of course...
**[16:53] Minase**
Hibino-san, behind you!
**[17:00] Kafka**
Kikoru!
**[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,
**[18:17] Kafka**
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.*
**[18:31] Kafka**
*Everyone is incredible!*

*This is...*

**[18:41] Hoshina**
You picked a fight with the wrong people.
**[18:45] Hoshina**
We're gonna win this fight.
**[18:58] No. 10**
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**
Now that I know exactly what
you're aiming for, it's easy for me to...
**[19:20] No. 10**
handle it...

Number Four: Wild Slasher.
**[19:36] No. 10**

**[19:49] No. 10**
Yeah, this is how a fight should be!
**[20:06] No. 10**
A head-on battle against an opponent
whose strength rivals your own!
**[20:11] No. 10**
Rivals! Rivals! Rivals! Rivals!

This is...
**[20:47] Hoshina**
*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?
**[21:34] Hoshina**
*Ultra-high temperature steam...*
**[21:37] Hoshina**
*Glad I brought it inside the training grounds.*
**[21:40] Konomi**
Its fortitude is rising alongside the heat...

No way!

It self-destructed?

Two hundred years ago,
you would've been considered a genius.

But the era of blades has passed.
**[05:39] Hoshina's Dad**
You understand that, right, Soshiro?
**[05:42] Hoshina's Dad**
Give up on joining the Defense Force.

**[07:37] Officer**
We're seeing more

**[07:41] Officer**
If all you can use is a blade,
you'll get yourself killed out there.

We could easily find ourselves facing
small but powerful foes someday.
**[08:21] Mina**
And I'm the opposite of you.
I can't use a blade at all.
**[08:25] Mina**
I try not to even use kitchen knives.

Yeah.

That's Captain Ashiro for you, huh?

I was right...

This is the Defense Force
I've wanted to be in since I was a kid.
**[15:56] Kafka**

**[16:01] Kafka**
I want to stand right there
with them someday...
**[16:05] Reno**
Your face is a mess.
**[16:08] Kafka**
What? How can you say that when
I'm having an emotional moment?!
**[16:12] Kafka**
You've got a heart of stone!
**[16:15] Reno**
We're just getting started.
**[16:18] Reno**
Let's do our best, too.
**[16:24] Kafka**
Yeah.
**[16:26] Hoshina**
The captain and I will deal with the Yoju.
**[16:30] Mina**
No, you get some rest.
**[16:32] Nakanoshima**
You too, Captain.
**[16:34] Konomi**
* That's right. You only have 1% left*
* until your suit overheats.*
**[16:39] Ikaruga**
You fired a whole bunch
of high-powered shots.
**[16:41] Ikaruga**
Leave the Yoju to us.
**[16:44] Mina**
No, I'm fine.
**[16:59] Reno**
What is that?

The Yoju...
**[17:07] Hoshina**
So that last scream wasn't its death rattle?
**[17:11] Konomi**
Energy levels rising...
**[17:13] Konomi**
It's an ultra-massive Yoju bomb!
**[17:16] Konomi**
The blast's estimated impact
is equal to 20 kilotons of TNT!
**[17:20] Operator**
That's the same as a nuclear bomb!
**[17:24] Hoshina**
No! Don't shoot!
**[17:29] Mina**
Evacuate!
**[17:31] Hoshina**
*No... there's no time...*
**[17:34] Hoshina**
*If that thing hits the ground...*
**[17:35] No. 10**
Human...
**[17:40] No. 10**
Looks like this fight is a draw.
**[17:48] Reno**
No, Senpai!
**[17:52] Hoshina**
Kafka?!
**[17:54] Hoshina**
Get back here! There's nothing you can do!
**[17:58] Hoshina**
*Wait...*
**[18:00] Hoshina**
*How's he so fast?*
**[18:01] Hoshina**
* That's not what 1% unleashed*
* combat power looks like!*
**[18:15] Konomi**
We're detecting a gigantic
Kaiju signal above the base!
**[18:21] Konomi**
Fortitude 9.8!
**[18:25] Konomi**
*This signal, it's...*
**[18:29] Konomi**
*Kaiju No. 8!*
**[18:36] Hoshina**
*I knew something was wrong...*
**[18:38] Hoshina**
*But I found myself liking him so much...*
**[18:44] Hoshina**
* that I just turned a blind eye*
* to the possibility.*
**[18:51] Hoshina**
You can have 1% of my expectations.
**[18:54] Kafka**
*I'm sorry, Vice-Captain Hoshina.*
**[18:58] Kikoru**
Fine.
**[18:59] Kikoru**
You did save my life,
so I'll keep quiet about it for now.
**[19:03] Kafka**
*I'm sorry, Kikoru.*
**[19:05] Kafka**
* You kept your promise*
* and never told anyone...*
**[19:08] Kafka**
* And everyone else...*
* I'm sorry for lying to you.*
**[19:10] Reno**
Just don't take any risks, please.
**[19:13] Kafka**
*Sorry, Ichikawa. I think I'm gonna have to.*
**[19:19] Mina**
You're a long way from being
able to fight by my side.
**[19:23] Kafka**
*Mina... I...*
**[19:27] Reno**
Senpai!
**[19:28] Reno**
Do you have any idea what you're doing?
**[19:39] Kafka**
* Everyone else risked their*
* lives during this fight!*
**[19:43] Kafka**
* I can't be the only one*
* who puts his own safety first!*
**[19:51] Kafka**
*I'm part of the Defense Force, too!*
**[19:53] Kafka**
*I'm an officer of the Third Division, too!*
**[19:57] Kafka**
So now it's my turn!
**[20:24] Mina**
Everyone, on the ground!
Shields at max!
**[21:18] Kafka**
*Well, now I've done it...*
**[21:22] Kafka**
* My arms and legs*
* are barely holding together...*
**[21:26] Kafka**
*I'm too old to be pulling stunts like that.*
**[21:34] Mina**
Kafka Hibino...
**[21:37] Mina**
No...
**[21:42] Mina**
Kaiju No. 8.
**[21:53] Mina**
I'm taking you into custody.

**[00:00] Itami**
Kaiju No. 8...
**[00:02] Itami**
I can't believe there was
a Kaiju inside the Defense Force.
**[00:06] Itami**
And a Daikaiju class, too.
***SIGN*** Deputy Director of the Defense Force
Keiji Itami
**[00:09] Itami**
We need to deal with this immediately.
**[00:11] PR Director**
Do we tell the media?
**[00:13] Nogizaka**
We ought to keep this under wraps,
as we did with Kaiju No. 9.
**[00:17] Nogizaka**
I hear rumors that one country is experimenting
with Kaiju-to-human tissue transplants.
***SIGN*** Chief of Staff
Defense Force Eastern Command
Juzo Nogizaka
**[00:22] Nogizaka**
They'd try something if they knew.
**[00:23] Itami**
The obvious move is to dispose of it in secret
and convert it into weaponry.
**[00:28] Operator**
Shouldn't we consider using it
as a *living* weapon first?
**[00:32] Isao**
This discussion is getting us nowhere.
**[00:35] Isao**
We bring it in first, then decide.
***SIGN*** Director General of the Defense Force Isao Shinomiya
**[00:38] Isao**
I'm ordering the Third Division

***SIGN*** Episode 11 Kaiju No. 8 Captured
**[02:22] Operator**
Kaiju No. 8's vitals are stable.
**[02:25] Operator**
It shows no signs of transforming.
**[02:27] Itami**
Is that really...?
**[02:35] Kafka**
*It's been a full day, huh?*
**[02:40] Kafka**
*What happens to me now?*
**[02:43] Kikoru**
When a Kaiju's powerful
enough to get a number,
**[02:45] Kikoru**
I've heard they use its body as
parts for a special weapon.
**[02:50] Kikoru**
It's possible that'll happen to you.
**[02:56] Kafka**
* Just when I'd taken a step closer*
* to being by her side...*
**[03:02] Kafka**
I'm sure Mina's mad.
**[03:08] Mina**
It's time.
**[03:10] Mina**
We're transporting you to HQ's facilities.
**[03:13] Kafka**
Mina...
**[03:16] Kafka**
Vice-Captain! I'm sorry! I...
**[03:19] Hoshina**
Don't say a word.
**[03:22] Hoshina**
Stand up.
**[03:37] Kafka**
*Figures.*
**[03:39] Kafka**
*I* have *been keeping one hell
of a secret from them.*
**[04:05] Nakanoshima**
The security detail
is ready to accompany him.
**[04:17] Kafka**
*Oh no... I can't even look him in the eyes.*
**[04:20] Kafka**
*He's done so much to look out for me.*
**[04:23] Kafka**
*He's probably so mad.*
**[04:26] Kafka**
*I'm sorry.*
**[04:33] Kafka**
*This time, it's really over...*
**[04:37] Reno**
Senpai!
**[04:40] Reno**
I have faith that you'll come back, okay?
**[04:46] Kafka**
Ichikawa.
**[04:50] Mina**
Ichikawa's going to be doing 50
push-ups for talking out of turn.
**[04:55] Kafka**
Mina?
**[04:56] Mina**
There are no cameras in here.
**[04:59] Mina**
When you dashed in to save us all
without a moment's hesitation,
**[05:03] Mina**
I was shocked to see you as a Kaiju.
But I also told myself...
**[05:08] Mina**
that's just like you.
**[05:12] Mina**
I'm putting together testimony
and footage that will help you.
**[05:16] Mina**
If we can prove you're human,
we might be able to save you.
**[05:21] Mina**
We're also going to report on
everything you've done as an officer.
**[05:26] Mina**
Nobody in the Third Division
thinks of you as an enemy.
**[05:33] Mina**
It's time.
**[05:35] Mina**
Sit down.
**[05:37] Mina**
Kafka Hibino.
**[05:39] Mina**
In accordance with Article 13
of the Defense Force Code,
**[05:42] Mina**
you are to be transferred
to the Ariake Maritime Base.
**[05:46] Mina**
To ensure the safety of the citizenry—
**[05:47] Kafka**
Mina.
**[05:50] Kafka**
Can I still... try to stand by your side?
**[06:08] Mina**
Yeah.
**[06:10] Mina**
I'll always be waiting.
**[06:35] Hoshina**
*Idiot.*
**[06:38] Hoshina**
Third Defense Force, salute!
**[06:49] Itami**
Vice-Captain Hoshina,
what do you think you're doing?
**[06:51] Hoshina**
I'm saluting my superior officer,
Captain Ashiro.
**[06:55] Itami**
Of course you are.
**[06:57] Itami**
We can't have anyone saluting to a Kaiju.
**[07:02] Hoshina**
Of course.
***SIGN*** Defense Force Ariake Maritime Base

**[07:17] Operator**
*Kaiju No. 8 is now contained.*
***SIGN*** Several Days Later
**[07:43] Iharu**
I still can't believe it, you know.
**[07:47] Iharu**
Who woulda thought that
the old man was Kaiju No. 8?
**[07:50] Iharu**
I mean, the guy's got
one heck of a spare tire.
**[07:53] Iharu**
Right, Reno?
**[08:02] Minase**
Hibino-san saved me from the Kaiju.
**[08:08] Minase**
He found the Kaiju's weak points.
**[08:10] Minase**
And he was always so much fun
to be around in training.
**[08:13] Iharu**
I mean, he saved my life too.
**[08:16] Aoi**
We don't get to decide.
**[08:18] Aoi**
The Neutralization Bureau does.
**[08:20] Haruichi**
That's a former SDF officer.
**[08:22] Haruichi**
Always following orders.
**[08:25] Haruichi**
You're right, though.
**[08:27] Haruichi**
The fact that a human turned
into a Kaiju is a big deal.
**[08:31] Haruichi**
If it gets out, we're looking
at a worldwide panic.
**[08:36] Haruichi**
The whole world's gonna have to
live every day wondering
**[08:40] Haruichi**
if the person standing next
to them is actually a Kaiju.
**[08:43] Minase**
No...
**[08:45] Haruichi**
This is too much for us to get involved in.
**[08:51] Reno**
*Senpai...*
**[08:55] Mina**
Enter.
**[08:57] Okonogi**
Excuse me.
**[09:00] Okonogi**
You called?
**[09:02] Mina**
Put all this together for me.
**[09:04] Mina**
On the double, please.
**[09:06] Okonogi**
Okay.
**[09:07] Okonogi**
This is all...
**[09:09] Mina**
Can you do it?
**[09:10] Okonogi**
Yes, of course.
**[09:18] Ikaruga**
Vice-Captain.
**[09:20] Ikaruga**
We've cleared out all
the destroyed vehicles.
**[09:23] Hoshina**
Oh, thanks.
**[09:29] Ikaruga**
What will happen to Hibino, you think?
**[09:39] Hoshina**
I'm going to need him back here.
**[09:42] Hoshina**
When he was fighting with me,
he wasn't using his full strength.
**[09:46] Hoshina**
Who's he think he is?
**[09:48] Ikaruga**
You can say that again.
**[09:51] Hoshina**
Next time, we're going to fight for real.

What do you want?
**[10:14] Kikoru**
Dadd—
**[10:19] Kikoru**
Director General Shinomiya.
**[10:21] Kikoru**
I've come to request that
Kafka Hibino not be eliminated.
**[10:25] Kikoru**
He's saved my life.
**[10:28] Kikoru**
Please consider a light—
**[10:30] Isao**
Fool.
**[10:32] Isao**
Did you come to talk about
your failures?
**[10:36] Kikoru**
But...
**[10:39] Isao**
Look at this.
**[10:41] Kikoru**
All right.
**[10:46] Isao**
His chest X-rays.
**[10:49] Isao**
Look at what's on the left side.
**[10:51] Isao**
He's made it look like a heart,
**[10:53] Isao**
but it's a core.
**[10:56] Kikoru**
No...
**[10:58] Isao**
He's no human.
**[11:01] Isao**
He's a Kaiju.
**[11:03] Isao**
A Kaiju, like the one
that killed your mother.
**[11:08] Isao**
If you understand now, then leave.
**[11:29] Kikoru**
Daddy...
**[11:31] Kikoru**
I still want to believe in him.
**[11:40] Kafka**
Another physical exam?
**[11:42] Kafka**
How many of these do I have to do?
**[11:44] Kafka**
I'd like to sleep in a comfy futon soon...
**[11:53] Reno**
I have faith that you'll come back, okay?
**[11:58] Kafka**
*There's so much I need to tell everyone.*
**[12:04] Kafka**
*I can't give up.*
**[12:05] Kafka**
*I need to get back there.*
***SIGN*** Captain's Office
**[12:11] Iharu**
We're being transferred to other divisions?
**[12:13] Mina**
Temporarily, but yes.
**[12:16] Mina**
After the last Kaiju attack,
**[12:18] Mina**
Tachikawa is down 75% of
its functionality as a base.
**[12:22] Mina**
It's no longer deemed suitable
as a place to train new recruits.
**[12:28] Mina**
We've seen multiple Daikaiju,
first No. 9, then No. 10,
**[12:34] Mina**
and the brass is concerned.
**[12:37] Mina**
They feel that this may be
a chain of connected incidents.
**[12:40] Iharu**
So there's more coming?
**[12:43] Mina**
Not just more, but possibly
more at the same time.
**[12:49] Mina**
We must be ready,
**[12:52] Mina**
and you're the key.
**[12:57] Mina**
We'll be taking the most talented
rookies from all the divisions
**[13:00] Mina**
and training them across
division boundaries.
**[13:02] Aoi**
And that's us?
**[13:04] Iharu**
She said we're talented.
**[13:05] Haruichi**
Is this because of No. 8?
**[13:07] Mina**
What do you mean?
**[13:09] Haruichi**
Their real goal is to split up everyone who
was close to Kafka Hibino and monitor them.
**[13:17] Iharu**
Captain Ashiro, if that's the case,
I won't obey that order—
**[13:20] Mina**
Wait.
**[13:22] Mina**
It's noble that you care
for your fellow officer,
**[13:25] Mina**
but this plan's been under
consideration for some time.
**[13:28] Mina**
Kafka Hibino has nothing to do with it.
**[13:30] Haruichi**
I understand.
**[13:32] Haruichi**
But I don't know about just
going to another division...
**[13:36] Iharu**
That's right.
**[13:38] Iharu**
I admired the Third Division,
and you, and that's why...
**[13:41] Reno**
I'll do it.
**[13:43] Iharu**
Do you understand? We're getting split up!
**[13:46] Iharu**
Put some more thought into your answer!
**[13:49] Reno**
I'll do it.
**[13:57] Sign**
Captain Ashiro
**[13:57] Sign**
Platoon Leader Ikaruga

**[13:59] Sign**
Dad
**[14:01] Aoi**
Yes, that's right.
**[14:03] Aoi**
It's an internal Defense Force matter,
so I can't go into details...
**[14:07] Aoi**
But there's someone I want
to save, no matter what.
**[14:11] Aoi**
Yes, I know it's unlikely.
**[14:14] Aoi**
Thank you.
**[14:19] Haruichi**
Sorry, I didn't feel like I could interrupt.
**[14:22] Aoi**
I was the one who walked up here.
**[14:25] Aoi**
Don't worry about it.
**[14:29] Haruichi**
Aoi...
**[14:41] Aoi**
I was talking with my
old commander in the JSDF.
**[14:44] Aoi**
I wanted him to introduce me to
anyone important who could help Kafka.
**[14:49] Haruichi**
That surprises me.
**[14:51] Haruichi**
I didn't think you were the type
to ask for personal favors.
**[14:55] Aoi**
I said before that
I don't want to lose anyone.
**[14:59] Aoi**
Kafka Hibino is a member of
the Third Division, like the rest of us.
**[15:04] Aoi**
Am I wrong?
**[15:07] Haruichi**
I...
**[15:13] Mina**
If we can prove you're human,
we might be able to save you.
**[15:19] Kafka**
*Mina's right.*
**[15:21] Kafka**
* I'll prove I'm human*
* and go back to everyone.*
**[15:25] Kafka**
*First, I have to get them to hear me out.*
**[15:39] Kafka**
D-Director General Shinomiya?!
**[15:46] Nogizaka**
I didn't expect the director general
to go in himself.
**[15:49] Itami**
That man always settles
important matters personally.
**[15:56] Kafka**
Director!
**[15:58] Kafka**
I'm not a Kaiju!
**[16:02] Isao**
*Release the bindings.*
**[16:07] Operator**
But that's Kaiju No. 8!
**[16:10] Operator**
It's too dangerous!
**[16:11] Isao**
*Who do you think you're talking to?*
**[16:15] Isao**
If he's really Daikaiju class, he could
break them with a wave of his hand.
**[16:20] Isao**
He's sitting there because he wants to.
**[16:27] Kafka**
*Maybe he'll listen to me!*
**[16:31] Kafka**
Director General Shinomiya!
**[16:33] Kafka**
I'm human...
**[16:39] Kikoru**
Kafka Hibino!
**[16:42] Kafka**
What was that for?
**[16:50] Isao**
Let me tell you something.
**[16:53] Isao**
In this world, a creature that can
stop bullets with its bare skin...
**[16:58] Isao**
could never be considered human,
**[17:01] Isao**
Kaiju No. 8.
**[17:03] Kikoru**
Daddy...
**[17:09] Kafka**
I'm not Kaiju No. 8.
**[17:13] Kafka**
I'm Kafka Hibino.
**[17:17] Isao**
You are, huh?
**[17:20] Operators**
That's the signal. Unlocking FS-1002.
**[17:23] Operators**
Request for authorization cleared.
**[17:34] Kafka**
What's that?
**[17:39] Operators**
Nerve link cleared.
**[17:40] Operators**
Driver and Kaiju No. 2's
cell synchronization, all clear.
**[17:44] Operators**
FS-1002 activation complete.
**[17:53] Isao**
Then you can die in that form.
**[17:57] Isao**
Commencing disposal of Kaiju No. 8!
**[18:01] Kafka**
*I won't fully transform!*
**[18:03] Kafka**
*I'll prove I'm human!*
**[18:17] Kafka**
Oh, crap!
**[18:21] Kikoru**
Kafka!
**[18:23] Nogizaka**
He's still got it.
**[18:25] Nogizaka**
The man they once called the strongest
soldier the Defense Force had ever seen.
**[18:34] Isao**
You look a lot more like a Kaiju now.
**[18:49] Kafka**
* It'll be bad news*
* if I take a hit from that.*
**[18:51] Kafka**
* I'll just have to keep dodging*
* until his suit overheats!*
**[19:26] Kafka**
*Why is my body reacting like this?*
**[19:30] Kafka**
*It's the same as when I fought the Daikaiju!*
**[19:33] Kafka**
*But there aren't any...*
**[19:36] Kafka**
*Don't tell me...*
**[19:37] Kafka**
*It's reacting to him like he's a Daikaiju?*
**[19:42] Itami**
Kaiju No. 2.
**[19:44] Itami**
In 1972, it nearly destroyed Sapporo.
**[19:49] Itami**
The second Kaiju to ever be given a number.
**[19:52] Itami**
A Daikaiju with incredible destructive power
**[19:55] Itami**
and the pride to never give up
until the moment it died.
**[20:02] Itami**
That suit and those arms
were made from No. 2.
**[20:06] Itami**
And your father, Isao Shinomiya,
is the only one to ever be able to use them.
**[20:14] Kafka**
*So this is what Kikoru was talking about...*
**[20:19] Kafka**
*Identified Kaiju Weapons:*
**[20:21] Kafka**
*the Numbers!*
**[20:25] Kafka**
*No... don't let that thing hit you again!*
**[20:28] Kafka**
*Dodge!*
**[20:30] Kafka**
*I can't move! Why?*
**[20:35] Kafka**
*When...?!*
**[20:39] Kafka**
*Damn it.*
**[20:44] Kikoru**
Kafka Hibino!
**[20:52] Kikoru**
Whew...
**[20:54] Isao**
You've finally shown
who you really are, Kaiju.
**[21:01] Kikoru**
*What? Something's wrong...*
**[21:14] Kikoru**
*Yeah... Something's not right...*
**[21:20] Kafka**
What is this?
**[21:22] Kafka**
I can't control my body!
**[21:33] Kafka**
*Damn it...*
**[21:34] Kafka**
* Forget proving I'm human,*
* I'm totally acting like a Kaiju now!*
**[21:41] Young Kaiju No. 8**
*Kill. Kill.*
**[21:44] Young Kaiju No. 8**
*Kaiju... Kill...*
**[21:47] Young Kaiju No. 8**
*Kill...*
**[22:01] Kikoru**
No! You're human, right?
**[22:04] Kikoru**
Kafka Hibino!

You're not worried about the old dude?
**[01:50] Iharu**
You went and agreed to go to another unit.
**[01:54] Reno**
I want to get stronger.
**[01:58] Iharu**
You can do that here, right?
**[02:00] Iharu**
That's how we've done it so far!
**[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

* I always screw up at*

*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!

*But... I can't be entirely happy.*

*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.
**[21:01] Haruichi**
Then this is...
**[21:08] Haruichi**
A victory Kafka Hibino won for himself!
**[21:18] Reno**
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.
