[00:01] Reno
    Last time on Kaiju No. 8*...
[00:03] Hoshina
    What's going on? What's happening out there?
[00:05] Konomi
    We're picking up live signals
    from the Kaiju they already killed!
[00:09] Kafka
    You did a great job, Kikoru!
[00:12] Kafka
    Sorry. I'm running out of time here.
[00:14] Kafka
    So I'm cleaning you up...
[00:16] Kafka
    with one punch!
[00:20] Reno
    An unexpected incident occurred,
[00:22] Reno
    but Senpai's last exam came to an end.
[00:25] Kafka
    And I have you to thank for encouraging me.
[00:28] Kafka
    Thanks, Ichikawa.
[00:30] Reno
    After all he went through, Senpai looked*
    even more like a man you could count on.
[00:39] Kafka
    I can't take this!
[00:42] Reno
    Never mind.
[00:43] Kafka
    I'm scared! I'm scared!
    I'm scared! I'm scared! I'm scared!
[00:47] Kafka
    And it's all your fault!
[00:49] Kafka
    I'm only suffering like this
    because you encouraged me!
[00:53] Reno
    You were thanking me for it at the hospital!
[00:55] Reno
    You were so cool then! What happened?
[00:58] Mizoguchi
    Kafka! Ichikawa!
[01:00] Mizoguchi
    You've both got mail.
[02:40] Kafka
    Okay, we open it on three.
[02:45] Kafka
    No matter how it turns out,
    this is my last shot.
[02:49] Kafka
    Will the path I'm on
    take me all the way to her?
[02:52] Kafka
    Time to find out!
[02:55] Kafka
    One, two...

[03:10] Haruichi
    Hey.
[03:11] Haruichi
    Well, I figured you'd pass.
[03:14] Aoi
    Same to you.
[03:16] Aoi
    I'm not seeing any big surprises here.
[03:19] Haruichi
    I don't see Shinomiya's groupie, though.
[03:21] Aoi
    You wanted him to pass?
[03:23] Haruichi
    No, I...
[03:24] Man
    Hey, it's Shinomiya!
[03:30] Minase
    Shinomiya-san!
[03:32] Minase
    I heard you were the top scorer!
[03:33] Kikoru
    Yeah, they asked me to handle the oath.
[03:35] Minase
    I can't wait to work with you!
[03:37] Kikoru
    Thanks.
[03:38] Haruichi
    Before the test,
    I was sure I'd be number one.
[03:42] Haruichi
    But after what we saw...
[03:44] Haruichi
    I suppose we'll be competing
    for the number two slot.
[03:47] Aoi
    I scored the highest on the fitness exam.
[03:51] Aoi
    You can aim for number two.
[03:53] Aoi
    I'll aim for number one.
[03:59] Iharu
    Oh, sorry!
[04:00] Iharu
    Hey, you were with the old dude!
[04:04] Reno
    Reno Ichikawa.
[04:06] Iharu
    Sorry, I'm bad with names.
[04:09] Iharu
    I'm Iharu Furuhashi.
[04:11] Reno
    A pleasure to meet you, Furuhashi-san.
[04:14] Iharu
    Just call me Iharu, Reno.
[04:17] Reno
    Okay.
[04:21] Iharu
    Where's the old dude? Didn't work out?
[04:23] Reno
    Senpai is...
[04:26] Komaki
    Captain Mina Ashiro is entering the room.
[04:39] Aoi
    Captain Ashiro...
[04:41] Iharu
    It's finally time!
[04:53] Komaki
    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,
    as of this moment,
[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!
[05:29] Mina
    You helped a lot during
    the incident after the exam.
[05:32] Mina
    Thanks to you, there were no casualties.
[05:35] Mina
    Again, you have my thanks.
[05:41] Kikoru
    It wasn't me who defeated them.
[05:44] Kikoru
    Kafka Hibino, you should be
    the one hearing these words...
[05:48] Kikoru
    So why aren't you here?
[05:52] Kikoru
    You had the audacity
    to not only save my life,
[05:55] Kikoru
    but to worry about me like
    I was a little girl...
[05:58] Kafka
    I'm glad you're safe!
[06:00] Kikoru
    This is humiliating!
[06:01] Kikoru
    I still want some answers
    from you about that Kaiju form, too!
[06:04] Kikoru
    I'm not gonna let you just up
    and disappear on me!
[06:08] Kafka
    Excuse me!
[06:10] Kafka
    Sorry to interrupt the ceremony!
[06:15] Iharu
    The old dude!
[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
    Let your instincts take over
    when you aim the reticle,
[11:47] Reno
    and don't pull the trigger...
[11:49] Reno
    Squeeze it!
[11:53] Reno
    Squeeze!
[11:57] Reno
    Squeeze!

    Haruichi-kun, I've got a question!
[12:14] Hoshino
    I'm impressed. He's grown
    a lot in a very short time.
[12:19] Iharu
    Reno set another personal best!
[12:23] Iharu
    Come on!

[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.
[13:28] AI
    Kafka Hibino, 6:39.
[13:30] AI
    Estimated combat power, 1%.
[13:33] Kafka
    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.
