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.
