[explosions]

[HOSHINA] Time for your big debut, newbies.

[KAFKA] Vice-Captain Hoshina!

I've located the Yoju's core.

- [HOSHINA] What? - It's at the base of the neck.

[KAFKA] There's one more thing, sir, and it's a big one.

The Yoju have their own reproductive organs.

If we don't destroy these,

we might see a whole 'nother wave

of Yoju spawning out of their corpses.

[MINA] Target acquired.

No additional targets in the AO.

[KONOMI] Roger. Clear to commence fire.

[MINA] Fire.

[HOSHINA] Kafka, you'd better be watching.

See that?

That was the woman you're looking to stand beside.

[KONOMI] Honju has taken critical damage.

It's stopped moving.

[MINA] Just as I thought.

[HOSHINA] The real problem

is the swarms of Yoju inside its body.

And now, they're heading our way.

[both panting]

[IHARU] Hey! Didn't you hear the alarm?

Your crew needs to stay clear till the fighting is over!

[TAKAMICHI] So they got this one, too?

I loaded them with reproductive organs,

but they've been destroyed.

Maybe someone on the force

is more knowledgeable than I thought.

[TOKU] Ho, boy.

That's a big ol' Honju, innit?

[MIIKE] You see Kafka and Ichikawa?

[TOKU] From up here? Come on now.

Though I see why they've got every cleanup crew

in Tokyo and Kanagawa on standby.

- [MIZOGUCHI] Hey, fellas. - Huh?

Any of you seen the new guy?

[TOKU] Aw, man.

You don't suppose he ran off and holed up

in the bathroom again, do ya?

[MIIKE] [chuckles] Maybe. I can go check.

[TOKU] 'Preciate cha.

[IHARU] Look, bud. You're in the middle of a combat zone.

You gotta clear out till the danger's gone.

♪

Huh?

- [RENO] Get down, Iharu! - Huh?

[groans]

Oh, dear. I was trying to pierce your heart.

Does this transformation make it harder to aim my shots?

- [Iharu grunts] - Iharu!

- Hey. - Dammit, I can't

- stop the bleeding! - Stay calm.

Your suit can seal the wound!

You bastard! Who the hell are you?

[RENO] It's a Kaiju.

But I only know of one other humanoid Kaiju.

- Huh? - Huh?

[kaiju growling]

[RENO] It's gotta be the one who showed up during the exam.

Seriously? The one who took down Shinomiya?

I think so.

[KAIJU NO.9] Well,

I'd certainly hate to go back empty-handed.

Perhaps I could bring home a live specimen

of a Defense Force officer.

[both gasp]

Platoon Leader, there's a humanoid Kaiju.

Send backup.

Do you read? Platoon Leader!

[KAIJU NO.9] Oh, yes.

I figured out how those little

communicator things of yours work.

This area is completely undetectable

and unreachable by anyone outside of it.

A trick I devised to help me stay hidden among humans.

But I've found it's also useful for hunting them.

[grunts]

R-Reno!

[grunts]

Huh? Even now, my shots aren't quite hitting their mark.

[groaning]

[RENO] His attacks are penetrating my suit's shield

like it's nothing, but at least.

[KAIJU NO.9] Oh, I get it.

You see it, don't you?

[KIKORU] Oh, and remember.

In case you happen to cross paths

with him in the future.

His attacks might look like magic,

but don't get distracted.

Just watch his fingertips.

You can see him preparing to fire.

[RENO] I can dodge them!

You could see that coming?

[KAIJU NO.9] So I was right.

Huh?

Get out of here and call for backup, Iharu.

Huh? You can't seriously expect me just to let you bail me out!

[whimpering] [gasps]

[Iharu groans]

[grunts]

Iharu! Please, just run.

[whimpering]

♪

Yeah.

[RENO] I'm scared.

Even Shinomiya couldn't touch this thing.

I-I don't have a chance here.

But still, the Defense Force officer I want to be.

[KAFKA] Run, Ichikawa. Get away!

Call it in as soon as you're safe!

[RENO] Is the one who looks out for his buddies,

even if it means his life!

Aah! [shooting]

I can at least distract him long enough

for Iharu to get away!

[panting]

[IHARU] Reno's a totally different guy

than he was yesterday.

What's with that?

How is he going toe to toe with that monster?

[grunts]

Damn it. Damn it all!

I hate this. I hate this so damn much!

[HOSHINA] At some point, you're gonna run into a wall.

Usually between 20% and 30%.

And only a handful of people

will ever make it over that wall.

But know that every one of you has the potential within you.

[IHARU] I've been stuck at 20%

for almost two weeks now.

Ever since that day,

I haven't thought of anything but getting stronger.

But that kid. That damn kid!

Ah.

He waltzed right past me like it was nothing at all!

And I hate it!

Huh! Huh.

[KAIJU NO.9] Interesting.

It seems that you've somehow

figured out a thing or two about me.

But I doubt you were expecting this.

[gasps]

[explosion]

- Huh? - [groans]

Huh?

Huh?

[RENO] Wait, Iharu? Why did you come back?

[IHARU] That's wrong.

I don't hate the guy who's passed me up.

I hate the guy who never got stronger.

The guy who still needs someone stronger

to save his hide!

[Iharu pants]

Listen up, Reno.

I ain't lettin' you be the one who saves me.

Hell, no. I'm savin' you, ya got it, jackass?

- [groans] - Easy, Iharu!

Duh! I don't get any of this.

[RENO] You were supposed to get clear and call in backup!

Piss off with that!

If I'd done what you told me, you'd be dead right now!

[KAIJU NO.9] Ahh, so you were planning

to buy him time to escape.

It wouldn't have worked.

No person or thing can leave this space

unless I allow it, living or otherwise.

You heard the guy.

The only thing we can do is fight.

[groans]

It's all up to you and me, Reno.

You ready?

- Huh. - [groaning]

I'm in pretty rough shape right now.

I can try and make an opening,

then you hit him with everything you've got.

- Sound good? - Roger!

Now let's waste this dude!

♪

- [shooting] - [KAIJU NO.9] Huh?

[RENO] A conductor round?

I'm testing other ammo types, too.

Don't go thinkin' you're special!

[KAIJU NO.9] This stuff makes it hard to move.

I'll deal with that one first.

[IHARU] Focus. You already took a hit.

You've got his timing down now!

[shooting]

[KAIJU NO.9] Ahh. Him too?

Huh?

Hit him now, Reno!

[RENO] Unleash maximum combat power!

[RENO] God, if you're listening, just this once,

for this single moment, give me strength.

Beyond Shinomiya.

Beyond even Captain Ashiro!

I'm begging you!

[RENO] Aah!

[screaming] [shooting]

[breathes heavily]

[gasps]

No way. What the hell?

[RENO] A wall of corpses?

[KAIJU NO.9] Ahh.

Is that the face that humans make

when they realize...

that they have just run out of options?

- [Reno gasps] - Reno!

[Reno groans]

[shooting]

[IKARUGA] Vice-Captain Hoshina.

Platoon Leader Ikaruga here.

[HOSHINA] What's up?

[IKARUGA] Be advised,

we've lost all contact with Ichikawa and Furuhashi.

- [panting] - [HOSHINA] What?

[IKARUGA] No response on comms,

and their vital signals have dropped off.

[KAFKA] Ichikawa.

Huh.

[MALE OFFICER 7A] Heads up, did that Yoju's corpse move?

[panting] Kafka Hibino!

Kikoru? If you're here, does that mean...

Yeah. He's out there.

[KAFKA] [gasps] Ichikawa. Iharu!

[thuds]

Reno!

[RENO] It's like my whole body's on fire.

Gotta stop the bleeding and get to my feet.

It's not over. I'm not dead yet!

[KAIJU NO.9] So you can still move, huh?

It's much harder than I would expect

to bring a human's motor functions

to a halt without killing them.

No, you don't! [shooting]

You already showed me that trick.

[grunts and groans]

[KAIJU NO.9] Now, then,

it's time to wrap you up and be on my way.

[Reno groaning]

[KAIJU NO.9] Haa! Would this be too weak?

- [Reno grunts] - [IHARU] Damn it!

[KAIJU NO.9] Oh, you're still moving. -[IHARU] Damn it!

- [groaning] - Let's try this, then.

[Reno grunts]

[gagging] [coughs]

[IHARU] I'm stuck here watching my buddy

get blown to pieces,

and I can't do anything to stop it?

It pisses me off,

and I hate having to admit it.

But dammit. Reno's amazing!

He's gonna become a Captain someday, no doubt!

No way I'm just gonna roll over and let it end for him here!

[gasps] [whimpering]

[gasps]

[KAIJU NO.9] This specimen is ready to be transported.

I don't need an extra.

♪

[whimpering]

[IHARU] Please, God.

Or a demon, or the devil himself.

Whoever is listening...

I beg you...

[sobbing] ...save Reno.

Save my friend.

[KAIJU NO.9] You can die now.

[KAFKA (KAIJU)] The only one dying here is you, asshole.

Huh?

[grunts]

Huh? What-What just happened?

[groaning]

[KAIJU NO.9] Why can I see my torso from behind?

Oh! Did my head get knocked off?

[KAFKA (KAIJU)] Sorry, I made you wait.

[RENO] [groaning] I'm so weak.

I wanted so badly to stop this from happening.

But I couldn't.

In the end, I made him transform again.

It. It's another humanoid Kaiju.

[Kaiju No.9 groans]

[KAIJU NO.9] You're that one, aren't you?

That's right.

Kaiju Number 8.

[KAFKA (KAIJU)] I'm really sorry, Ichikawa.

Gimme just a bit longer.

[Reno coughs]

[KAFKA (KAIJU)] You'll be okay.

Try and stay calm.

Concentrate on using your suit to stop the bleeding.

But who the hell am I to tell you that, right?

[laughs]

Not like I can do it.

[RENO] Please, be careful, sir.

Yeah. I got this.

[RENO] You're strong. I know that.

But I've got a bad feeling.

[KAIJU NO.9] Not that I'm bothered or anything,

but why are you getting in the way

of another Kaiju?

What's more, I'd heard of your existence,

but you're much stronger than I expected.

I think I could make good use of your corpse.

[Kafka (Kaiju) grunts]

[RENO] That thing can wound him in his Kaiju form?

[KAIJU NO.9] Ah, I can see you're very tough.

It will take quite a bit to kill you.

About this much, by my estimation.

[IHARU] That bastard.

Has he been toying with us the whole time?

[grunts] You have to run. Please, sir--

[KAFKA (KAIJU)] I see.

This stuff you shot into me.

This is what you've been using

to blast my buddies full of holes, you bastard!

♪

[growls]

♪

[both gasp]

[KAIJU NO.9] Huh! Hold on.

What is this?

The wall of corpses?

[KAIJU NO.9] Now I have a chance to heal.

[grunts]

Wait, what?

What is this guy?

Cover up. Won't survive a clean hit.

Pushed back? This is abnormal.

Something is wrong.

The damage is not mending quick enough.

Confusion. Retreat for now.

There is no path to retreat.

[KAFKA (KAIJU)] Your core's in your torso!

Isn't it?

Better brace yourself,

'cause I'm punchin' straight through it!

[KAIJU NO.9] Ah. I'm in danger.

♪

[KAIJU NO.9] This is bad.

I can't move and my core is completely exposed.

It's over.

[MALE OFFICER 7B] Ik-Ikaruga platoon reporting!

We've encountered a humanoid Kaiju!

[shooting]

The shots are too weak.

[panting]

Ah! Ah!

Aah!

[sighs]

Damn him. How far did he go?

[panting]

[KIKORU] You're going after Reno and Iharu?

We can't reach them over comms or even pick up their vitals.

So what's your plan?

If they're where the other humanoid Kaiju is.

I should be able to sense its presence.

[gasps]

Kikoru. Take care of things while I'm gone!

Huh? Hang on!

[KIKORU] Of all the places he could have transformed.

[MALE OFFICER 7B] Ikaruga Platoon here!

We're in the southeast quadrant of Sector Foxtrot,

and we've found a humanoid Kaiju!

Judging by its features,

we think it's Kaiju Number 8!

Copy that. I'm dispatching a neutralization unit.

Oh, that idiot!

[Kafka (Kaiju) whimpers]

[gasps]

[KAIJU NO.9] My mimetic space

seems to have been compromised.

But thanks to that.

I can escape.

Crap!

I now understand how you function.

Next time, I can kill you.

[KAFKA (KAIJU)] You're not getting away!

- Huh! - Huh!

[gunshots fired]

[both gasp]

[KAIJU NO.9] For a Kaiju,

you exhibit some unusually human-like behavior.

We'll meet again.

Kaiju Number 8.

Damn, now I've got no choice but to run away, too!

[explosion]

[MALE OFFICE 7C] [gasps] He got away!

[MALE OFFICER 7B] See to the wounded!

[KAFKA (KAIJU)] That's all right.

I may have let the other humanoid get away.

But they're both safe.

[HOSHINA] A coal-black body,

and a demonic skull for a face.

♪

After all this time, I've found you.

Kaiju Number 8.

Vi... Vice-Captain Hoshina!

Hoshina here. Reporting in from Sector Foxtrot.

Made contact with Kaiju Number 8.

[HOSHINA] Seems you've been showing my officers

a good time this evening.

W-Wait.

[RENO] Don't do it, Vice-Captain Hoshina.

That's really...

[HOSHINA] Now as far as handling

small to mid-size threats.

I'd say I've got the edge on her.

[KAFKA (KAIJU)] Now I know for sure he wasn't bluffing.

He's got a lot of experience fighting smaller Kaiju!

[HOSHINA] You're tough.

'Cause I definitely hit you at least

a couple of times there.

[KAFKA (KAIJU)] Every time I've seen him,

he's had that goofy grin on his face. But this...

[HOSHINA] Guess it's time to get serious.

[KAFKA (KAIJU)] This is what Vice-Captain Hoshina

looks like when he's killing Kaiju!
