Kaiju No. 8.

I picked up strange human-like traits from him.

In addition,

No. 9 can speak and look like a human.

What's going on with kaiju?

Vice-Captain!

I'm going to work hard to contribute!

I'll keep my expectations at 1%.

I want to meet his expectations.

Finally, my first step!

I'll go back to sleep to prepare for tomorrow.

Resting is a part of work, too!

ORIGINAL WORK BY NAOYA MATSUMOTO

Operation Room! What's going on?

Several dozen kaiju have appeared inside the base!

Judging from the situation,

Kaiju are attacking from the sky!

Estimated power is 6,1.

6,3, 6,2, 6,5... All the kaiju are...

A kaiju?

Honju class!

It's Hoshina. Captain Ashiro isn't present.

So, I'll be giving out instructions.

All night security officers, get into combat.

Send out a dispatch to off-duty officers as well.

-Everyone, get prepared for combat. -Roger!

Try to lure them to the training ground.

Don't let a single kaiju escape the base!

No damage reports from the outside.

Could it be...

their target is this base?

What the hell's going on?

The base is a sea of fire!

Wyvern-type Kaiju!

Those are troublesome.

Wyvern-types?

If so, there's something wrong with them!

Place the officers good at shooting in the center.

-Let's lure them and shoot them down. -Roger!

Vice-Captain!

-Kafka, you're safe? -Yes, sir.

-Something bothers me about these kaiju. -Report.

About ten or so wyvern-type kaiju are reported in a year,

and they all share a common trait.

They only act on their own.

But these guys are acting as a group.

Yeah. That means there's only one possibility.

There's a force strong enough to lead these prideful wyvern-types.

Something acting with purpose,

with high intellect.

They have a super powerful leader.

Target found.

I'm hanging up, Kafka.

Are you the strongest one in this base?

This one speaks human, too?

Captain's not here, so I guess it would be me.

I see.

It's decided, then. You'll be my prey.

Estimated fortitude of the honju has been calculated! 8,3!

It's a Daikaiju Class!

-Ikaruga, can you hear me? -Yes, sir!

You take the lead to defeat the yoju.

First priority is civilian harm prevention

-and protecting the main office! -Roger!

I'll take care of the honju.

You dodged it, huh? You've passed.

I have to be the one to take care of this one.

All right.

Now, the annihilation

has officially begun.

The yoju are responding to him?

I knew it. This base was the target.

He's crazy strong, like a meteor!

If I take that attack head-on, it's the end of me.

His exterior's harder than No. 8!

Shoot!

He's unharmed!

Retreat! Shooters, change the bullets to Oscillator Rounds.

Don't shoot the front!

This voice... Is this Hibino?

Aim for the back. This kaiju

is the same type recorded in the Year 03.

-Senpai? -Is that Old Man?

I couldn't reach you. I was worried.

Sorry. I was talking to Vice-Captain.

Forget that. Aim for the back!

They're often attacked when flying, so their frontal skin is tougher.

Their core is in their back.

Their backs have minimal toughness

to maintain their light weight for flight!

Great work, Hibino!

Split in two. Keep them distracted in the front and shoot the back!

Roger!

-Stay back. -I'll take the lead, thanks.

I'll be the bait.

Go around, Haruichi! You owe me one!

As expected of him.

Combat Power, Maximum Release!

The kaiju are working together?

-We can't get behind them! -Same here.

-There was kaiju interception. -What?

What should we do?

If we can't get behind them, how can we shoot their backs?

-There's another way. -Shinomiya?

What is it?

I could...

overtake them from the front...

with my immense power!

TACHIKAWA BASE BASEMENT WEAPONS STORAGE ROOM

A weapon made especially for me?

I thought only captain-ranked officers got them.

That's usually the case.

In light of the situation, we decided to give you one.

The strength and number of kaiju is abnormal this year.

We've decided to add you to the core force of the base,

as someone with the third-highest combat power.

Shinomiya. Starting now, annihilate kaiju as the Number Three,

after the captain and vice-captain.

The power's okay, considering it's a prototype.

If I had any complaints,

it's that it looks too rugged and doesn't suit me.

She crushed it from the front!

All right, kaiju.

Now that I'm on the battleground,

no more playing around.

Its main material is the uniorgan

of a honju that was neutralized in Shinagawa two years ago.

If you turn on the power with the trigger, it'll release a shock wave.

Application one,

release shock wave to the back while it's in motion.

Speed up!

Squadron-Style Ax Technique Number One - Falling Thunder!

Application two,

release shock wave to the front during collision.

More force!

Technique Number Two - Water Skimmer.

Wow!

It doesn't suit me, my ass.

It's the perfect match for your aggressive and dominating personality.

Next up!

Above?

Freeze Rounds?

-Reno! -Stay alert. They're attacking from above.

Like I'd let you fly!

He's doing well fighting against such a high-level kaiju.

Technique Number Three - Half Moon!

-All right! -Reno.

I'll let you back me up.

If you can keep up, that is.

Bring it on!

All right, let's join forces and stir up the enemy.

You hear that?

Yeah. Creating a disturbance with only two people? As expected of Shinomiya.

We can't be left behind by them.

In that case, we'll...

Get behind the enemy after they've been lured by Shinomiya!

Squad Shinomiya will break up the kaiju coordination!

We're continuing with our plan! Split into two and shoot their backs!

Sounds like Shinomiya will take care of that.

The problem is...

this guy!

He's strong.

Not only that, he's...

enjoying the fight.

-Okonogi-chan, release Gate Three! -Roger!

NUMBER THREE

He's expressing emotion beyond what kaiju are capable of.

We opened that gate for nothing! Doors are expensive, you know!

Where is he?

No one can fight this well against me.

Not even most kaiju.

I'd love to eat you and use you for sustenance.

Vice-Captain!

You're really strong, you know.

Sorry, Okonogi-chan.

It's an emergency. I didn't have time to ask for permission.

At least in this training ground,

I won't get other officers involved if I get serious.

Combat Power Maximum Release, 92%.

Let's begin this neutralization, shall we?

So powerful!

Will I not make it?

I could do a partial transformation!

Hibino-san?

-Are you hurt, Minase? -I'm okay, thanks!

You've gotten better at using that suit!

I've become a general officer and all. I can manage this!

Behind you!

Kikoru!

-Kikorun! -Are you all right, Senpai?

Reno and I are luring the kaiju.

Meanwhile, take care of the injured.

Roger!

Senpai.

Don't do something dangerous, okay?

You're a general officer now.

Have trust in the squad.

-Yeah! -I'll see you later!

Wow!

When did they learn to work so well together?

Reporting! Platoon Nakanoshima has arrived!

Sorry for the wait, Ikaruga!

Platoon Ebina has also arrived! They're heading south to assist.

Don't enjoy yourselves too much, kaiju!

The off-duty senpai are all here!

Squad Shinomiya and Platoon Wagatsuma have defeated two yoju!

This is Platoon Takao. We've completed the formation of the shooting squad.

We'll be using Freeze Rounds to attack the yoju in the sky.

This is Platoon Itakura. We've secured the storage area.

We're beginning to push back, even in an emergency with the captain absent.

-Minase. Let's go care for the injured! -Yeah!

They're amazing.

Not just Kikoru and Ichikawa, everyone is crazy strong.

This is the division I'm a part of.

This is...

The Third Division!

You picked a fight with the wrong guys.

We'll be winning this one.

He did it again. Same as the attack that took out this arm.

He is precise in slicing

the gap between my shells.

This is boring. It's a cheap trick.

Once I know where he's aiming, I can fight back.

Hoshina-style Sword-Slay Technique Number Two,

Cross Slasher.

Number Four,

Wild Slasher!

Aiming for the gaps was just a diversion?

This is what real fighting is!

Clashing face-to-face with an equal opponent!

Equal!

Equal!

What?

Your core's smaller than expected.

Number Six,

Eightfold Slasher.

He did it!

-As expected of Vice-Captain! -You see that, kaiju?

-This is... -We're not done!

-Hibino-san? What's wrong? -I'm okay.

What's going on? I haven't transformed, but my perception's reacting.

Vice-Captain.

He grew?

Was I unable to destroy his core because it changed position?

An ultra-high temperature vapor.

I'm glad I lured him to the training ground.

A release of heat and an increase in fortitude!

This is...

Fortitude

9,0!
