**[00:01] Hoshina**
Time for your big debut.
**[00:04] Kafka**
Vice-Captain Hoshina,
I've located the Yoju core.
**[00:07] Hoshina**
*What?*
**[00:08] Kafka**
It's at the base of the neck.
**[00:10] Kafka**
* And there's one more thing.*
* This one's important.*
**[00:13] Kafka**
The Yoju have reproductive organs too.
**[00:16] Kafka**
If we don't destroy those organs,
their corpses might spawn new Yoju.
**[00:21] Mina**
Target sighted.
**[00:23] Mina**
No additional targets in area.
**[00:26] Konomi**
*Roger.*
**[00:27] Konomi**
*You are cleared to fire.*
**[00:31] Mina**
Fire.
**[00:34] Hoshina**
Watch this one closely, Kafka.
**[00:37] Hoshina**
That's the power of the person
you're trying to stand beside.
**[00:42] Konomi**
Honju has taken critical damage
and has stopped moving entirely.
**[00:45] Mina**
Just like I thought.
**[00:48] Hoshina**
We killed the Honju, but the Yoju
are still alive inside its corpse...
**[00:52] Hoshina**
and are going to come swarming out.
**[00:59] Iharu**
Hey, you didn't hear the alarm?
**[01:02] Iharu**
The cleanup crew
won't be needed until later.
**[01:05] Takamichi**
Aww, this one's no good either.
**[01:06] Takamichi**
The reproductive organs I loaded
them with have been destroyed.
**[01:10] Takamichi**
Maybe there's somebody on the force
who knows all about Kaiju?
**[02:46] Toku**
Wow, the Honju's huge!
***SIGN*** Episode 7 Kaiju No. 9
***SIGN*** Monster Sweeper
**[02:52] Sign**
Find Kafka and Ichikawa?
**[02:53] Mitsuike**
You know we can't see them from up here.
**[02:55] Mitsuike**
I can see why they called every
cleanup company in Tokyo and Kanagawa.
**[03:00] Mizoguchi**
Hey, did you see the new guy?
**[03:05] Toku**
You don't think he's locked himself
in the bathroom again?
**[03:09] Mitsuike**
Want me to go get him?
**[03:11] Toku**
Thanks.
**[03:13] Iharu**
Hey, look.
**[03:15] Iharu**
This place is still dangerous.
Stay out of here until we give the all clear.
**[03:24] Reno**
Move, Iharu-kun!
**[03:29] Takamichi**
Oh, I missed your heart, huh?
**[03:33] Takamichi**
I guess I'm not as accurate in this form.
**[03:38] Reno**
Iharu-kun!
**[03:39] Iharu**
The bleeding won't stop!
**[03:41] Reno**
Calm down and use your suit
to stop the bleeding!
**[03:44] Iharu**
Who the hell are you?
**[03:46] Reno**
*A Kaiju?*
**[03:48] Reno**
* The only humanoid Kaiju*
* I know that's not Senpai is...*
**[03:56] Reno**
*the one from the exam!*
**[03:59] Iharu**
This is the one that took down Shinomiya?
**[04:02] Reno**
I think so.
**[04:04] No. 9**
Well, I don't want to
just return empty-handed.
**[04:08] No. 9**
Maybe I can at least take home
a live sample of a Defense Force officer.
**[04:15] Reno**
Platoon Leader Ikaruga,
we've encountered a humanoid Kaiju.
**[04:18] Reno**
Send backup immediately!
**[04:20] Reno**
Platoon Leader!
**[04:21] Reno**
No...
**[04:23] No. 9**
Oh, right. Your communicator thingies.
**[04:25] No. 9**
I've figured those out.
**[04:28] No. 9**
This area is completely undetectable
from the outside world.
**[04:32] No. 9**
I came up with this trick to
help me stay hidden among humans,
**[04:36] No. 9**
but it works well for
hunting humans too, you know.
**[04:42] Iharu**
Reno!
**[04:47] No. 9**
Huh? I'm not quite hitting my targets.
**[04:54] Reno**
* He's breaking right*
* through my suit's shields.*
**[04:57] Reno**
*But...*
**[04:59] No. 9**
Oh, I get it. You see it, don't you?
**[05:04] Shinomiya**
Oh, right.
**[05:06] Shinomiya**
Let me tell you this just
in case you ever run into him.
**[05:09] Shinomiya**
At first it looks like he's using
some kind of magic or something...
**[05:13] Shinomiya**
But watch his fingers closely.
**[05:15] Shinomiya**
You'll see him prepare for the attack.
**[05:21] Reno**
*I can dodge them!*
**[05:23] Iharu**
He dodged it!
**[05:25] No. 9**
So I was right.
**[05:34] Reno**
Get out of here and call for backup.
**[05:37] Iharu**
Why do I have to let you protect me?
**[05:46] Iharu**
Oww!
**[05:49] Reno**
Iharu-kun!
**[05:50] Reno**
Go, please.
**[06:09] Reno**
*I'm scared.*
**[06:11] Reno**
* Even Shinomiya didn't stand*
* a chance against him,*
**[06:14] Reno**
*so I sure as hell don't.*
**[06:17] Reno**
*But...*
**[06:18] Reno**
*The Defense Force officer I want to be...*
**[06:21] Kafka**
Ichikawa, run!
**[06:23] Kafka**
Once you're sure you're safe, call it in!
**[06:26] Reno**
* ...is a man who would put his life*
* on the line for his buddies like this!*
**[06:37] Reno**
* I can at least buy enough time*
* for Iharu-kun to get out of here!*
**[06:42] Iharu**
* Reno's a totally different guy*
* than he was yesterday!*
**[06:45] Iharu**
*What happened to him?*
**[06:47] Iharu**
*How can he fight that thing?*
**[06:52] Iharu**
Damn it! Damn it all!
**[06:54] Iharu**
I hate this! I hate it!
**[06:58] Hoshina**
You'll hit a wall unleashing your combat power.
**[07:01] Hoshina**
Usually around 20% to 30%.
**[07:04] Hoshina**
Only a very few people can scale that wall,
**[07:07] Hoshina**
but everyone has the
potential within them to do it.
**[07:11] Hoshina**
If you just assume you'll pass
and don't put in the effort, you never will.
**[07:11] Iharu**
*I've been stuck at 20% for almost two weeks.*
**[07:16] Iharu**
* Ever since that day, I've thought*
* of nothing but getting stronger.*
**[07:22] Iharu**
*But he...*
**[07:24] Iharu**
*But he...*
**[07:27] Iharu**
*He surpassed me like it was nothing!*
**[07:34] Iharu**
And I hate it!
**[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.
