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.
[14:40] Hoshina
    It's...
[14:42] Hoshina
    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!
[18:33] Kafka
    This is my division...
[18:36] Kafka
    This is...
[18:38] Kafka
    the Third Division!
[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...
[19:27] Hoshina
    Hoshina-Style Sword-Slay Technique
    Number Two: Cross Slasher.
[19:32] Hoshina
    Number Four: Wild Slasher.
[19:36] No. 10
    So aiming for the gaps was just a diversion?
[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!
[20:25] No. 10
    Huh?
[20:27] Hoshina
    Your core's a lot smaller than I thought.
[20:31] Hoshina
    Number Six:
[20:34] Hoshina
    Eightfold Slasher.
[20:37] All
    Got him!
[20:39] Men
    That's the vice-captain for you!
[20:41] Men
    You see that, Kaiju?!
[20:46] Konomi
    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...
[21:43] Konomi
    No way!
[21:53] Konomi
    Fortitude...
[21:56] Konomi
    9.0!
