Original subtitles

You're always so slow.

Kafka Hibino!

Report!

On the west side of the neutralization area... Kaiju No. 8 has appeared!

You're making me fight the wimps instead of the big guy.

So if you don't win, I'll kill you.

Right.

I'll go kick its ass.

What happened?

This time, you won't escape!

Kaiju No. 8...

He's taken down the Honju!

The Yoju that revived are starting to disappear from our sensors as well!

We're not...

We're not done yet!

There are still Yoju!

We'll continue to wipe them out!

Your daughter's gotten a lot stronger.

It was the same with Narumi.

The younger generations always surprise me.

They do things I never thought possible, and make them look easy.

I'm shocked.

We had what amounted to two simultaneous numbered Kaiju,

and they only broke through our defenses at two points.

That's an unbelievably small amount of damage.

So this is the unit that Director Shinomiya envisions... the strongest unit!

The Shinagawa Neutralization Operation is complete!

Narumi, Hibino.

And Kikoru.

Well done.

Continue to secure the area. The citizens' safety is your top priority.

Roger!

Roger!

Something's not right.

Time to kill you and take that Kaiju power.

What it said to No. 8...

"Kill," I understand.

But I don't understand the other part.

What was it really after?

Was it here to kill No. 8?

Or did it have some other goal?

Episode 16 The Man Called Isao Shinomiya

What's going on?

A Kaiju signal?!

Looking into it now!

I made it, I guess.

I'm sad to say, Kaiju No. 8...

I wasn't able... to kill you.

It's tough.

I'll finish it off.

But...

I'm going to achieve my other goal.

I'm taking that Kaiju power.

What is it talking about?

Captain Narumi! This isn't its main body!

What?

Found you.

Kaiju No. 2 and the one who uses it...

They were... a decoy...

It's after...

the director?

Daddy!

Full evacuation.

Get out of here! Hurry!

It's after No. 2's power?

I can't let it have it!

Itami. Nogizaka.

Take command and get everyone out of here.

No way! I'm fighting too!

We'll just get in the way.

I hate to say it, but that's just how strong this foe is.

I can't believe Beta and Gamma went down so quickly.

Get out of here!

We'll get caught up in it!

They should have been as strong as I was before I shed my skin.

...to create the strongest unit, capable of defeating any Kaiju.

I thought I'd prepared for this,

but I guess you evolved even faster than I expected...

The Third Division's Report says that No. 9's Fortitude is 8.5.

Even now, Isao should be able to deal with it...

Huh?

Did I get too strong?

No...

This is...

far more than we'd expected!

But even so, I'm...

I'm taking you down right here, right now.

Try to hang in there, Isao-san!

Director Shinomiya!

The surrounding area has been evacuated!

You need to evacuate too!

It's no use.

It has the power to track my location.

I can't escape from it.

You need to get out of here too.

Helping you secure the victory is my job.

Please let me stay with you until the end.

I see.

Then let's do this.

Using a Kaiju weapon at its full strength takes years off the wielder's life...

But the power it gives you...

makes you equal to a Daikaiju in human form.

So this is No. 2 at full power!

It's incredible...!

But it's still not enough?

Yes, good.

It's a worthy power for me to have.

Squadron-Style Combat Technique Number Four!

Rising Blast!

Technique Number One...

Barrage Blast!

Got it!

Wonderful.

Show me more!

Covering for output with right arm circuit bypass!

It's strong!

That's not all.

Every strike... reminds me...

I've grown weak.

There's no trace of the strength I had when I stood by your side.

Chest damage! Five percent output drop!

I'll try to recover!

It's no good! I can't fix it fast enough!

We won't last until Captain Narumi arrives!

We're taking it down, Kurusu...

If we have to go on the defensive for even an instant... we're doomed.

Use every remaining circuit to go on the offensive!

He forced No. 2's muscles into his left arm?

Stop! You'll never be able to fight again!

That's fine.

Our Defense Force has already raised up...

an incredible new generation.

All that's left for me is this battle, this moment...

All I have to do is take down No. 9, even if it costs me my life!

Just like you did with No. 6 on that day...

"Join the Defense Force," huh?

I never thought I'd hear her say that.

Given the family she was born into, it's only natural.

There's nothing surprising about it at all.

You sure looked happy about it to me!

I'm a little conflicted, though.

It's a dangerous job.

But... But if she's really going to choose this path to follow in her life...

I'm going to train her right, even if it means she gets hurt,

so that she has the strength to survive.

So it'll be your job to spoil her rotten, okay?

Daddy.

I was never able to do any of the things a father should do for his daughter...

Incredible levels of magnetic energy are coming from within his body...

This is...

So at least, with this one strike...

I can eliminate this terrible threat.

So that in her future...

it will not exist!

A directed energy attack?

No. 2's main burst, the one that once wiped out Sapporo!

If you try to fire that energy from a human body...

You won't survive, Isao!

Core exposed!

We can do this!

Wonder... ful...

But I made preparations to survive it before I came.

No. 9 is changing form!

It's shifting its entire body to defense?!

Too bad for you...

Huh?

A second blast...?!

A human couldn't possibly do that...

What's going on?!

D-Director...

Even my strengthened body...

couldn't survive that.

W-We did it, Director Shinomiya!

But...

Too bad.

This is the limit of humanity.

If you had the body of a Kaiju...

I would've lost.

Director, fall back!

One more blast...

Just...

One more...

Come, No. 2.

It's time to return to being a Kaiju.

Isao-san!

Director!

I'm so glad...

Captain Narumi!

That's...

not the director!

It's so strong...

It's nothing like it was before.

Is this really Kaiju No. 9?!

Damn it!

Isao-san! Where are you?

Come in, Isao-san!

Oh, Isao?

The one with the Kaiju weapon?

I killed him and fused with him.

I refuse...

I refuse to believe that!

Kikoru?

Oh?

So you're his daughter?

Don't look, Kikoru!

Get away from my subordinate!

The undodgeable attack you used on Beta?

Squadron-Style Gunsword Technique Number One - Eruption Slash!

Once the strongest unit is put together,

I intend to leave the battlefield for good.

Narumi...

It's up to you to protect the Defense Force, and this nation.

Isao-san...

I'm taking it down in your place.

I'm going to neutralize it!

Oh, sorry.

I think that's enough for today.

I always have a rejection response after I fuse.

So I'm just going to leave.

Like hell you are!

I'm not letting you escape!

Your power is only effective against a small number of targets,

and when the enemy's defense exceeds your attack...

It's useless.

Give back the director.

Last time, I was helpless.

But now I see how to deal with you,

Kaiju No. 8.

Soshiro Hoshina's "Hoshi Night Japan"!

Today, I have these two very important guests with me!

I am Isao Shinomiya, Director-General of the Japanese Defense Force.

And I'm Vice-Director Keiji Itami.

The pressure...

Sorry, sorry. I can't let them intimidate me.

Can I ask you our questions?

Very well.

I've heard you like watching videos of animals.

Is that true?

Indeed.

It seems he particularly likes cats.

That's a huge surprise!

I bought a cat toy, but I don't have any cats to play with.

I could call Bakko if you like.

You could?

No!

Bakko's size is beyond Isao's expectations!

This cat toy is too small to play with the cat!

Isao even bought a cat treehouse!

Even though he doesn't have a cat!

I had hope, but I suppose all is lost.

See you next week on "Hoshi Night Japan"!
