Previously on Kaiju No. 8.

I, Reno Ichikawa, was pursuing my dream of joining the Japan Defense Force.

I was working a part-time job when I met Kafka Hibino, who also once dreamed

of joining the Japan Defense Force.

Senpai decides to once again chase after the dream that he had given up on.

But at that very moment, he transformed into the powerful Kaiju No. 8!

What?

He became the target of the Defense Force, but decided to hide his true identity

and take the entrance exam in order to fulfill his dream.

After overcoming difficulties, we achieved our dream of joining the Defense Force!

Kafka Hibino, you're officially appointed as a Defense Force Officer.

I swear to fight with all of my body and soul.

We spent our days busy with missions and training,

but eventually, the Defense Force

discovered the true identity of Kaiju No. 8.

The members of Third Division rush to rescue Senpai,

who was taken into custody.

As a result of the ruling, Senpai's dismissal was put on hold,

but he remained in custody.

I'm not Kaiju No. 8. I'm Kafka Hibino.

Believing that one day Senpai will be released,

we each head off to the locations of our newly assigned mission.

This is the story of a day off

we spent together in the Third Division.

Senpai, are you all right?

Why do you keep eating more than you can handle?

Because thinking of the performance test this weekend made me nervous.

Usually, people can't eat when they're nervous.

- Ichikawa. - Fine, fine.

I bought a lot of stuff. Can you drink water?

You better not be thinking of transforming into a kaiju to cleanse your stomach!

ANTACID MEDICATION

9:30 A.M.

What great weather.

I feel sorry for Senpai,

but it's the perfect weather for a day off.

Old Man and Reno both have a day off tomorrow too.

You too, Iharu?

- Most of us have a day off tomorrow. - You're right.

- There's a restaurant I want to check out. - Sounds good.

Old Man, are you going to spend the day with someone special?

SOSHIRO HOSHINA - DAY OFF

Vice-Captain Hoshina has a day off too. That's unusual.

It's been a while since I had a full day off.

I better enjoy it.

I'll plan a productive day.

I've been working out without even realizing. It's become a daily habit!

How am I supposed to spend my day off?

What is everyone else doing?

What are you doing, Ichikawa? You don't know how to enjoy a day off?

You're young, so you should have fun.

Someday, I'll give you advice on how to spend your time off at Tachikawa Base.

Okay...

Um... Vice-Captain, you're going somewhere?

Yeah, I have some business to attend to.

- Reno. What are you doing? - Iharu-kun.

- What's that? - I thought I'd do maintenance on my car.

Anyway, were you talking to Vice-Captain about something?

Yeah, but there was something really off about him today.

Vice-Captain Hoshina is a mysterious guy.

What's the business he needs to attend to?

He's probably meeting up with a woman.

- It didn't seem like that... - I wonder what kind of a person she is!

- Think she's pretty? - He's not listening.

Well... Judging by that tense atmosphere...

Yes! I think he gave up his day off to do extra training.

- That's the reason for his strength. - No way!

Vice-Captain is a male, after all.

Come, and let me love you.

That's just your preference, Iharu-kun.

- He's not the type to do that. - Vice-Captain can fall in love too!

Yeah, but...

I don't think that's the reason

- for his outing today. - Wanna bet?

- Loser buys the winner a meal, okay? - What?

Iharu-kun, this is a bad idea.

This is the only way to find out the truth.

But we're tailing Vice-Captain!

If we get caught, we'll get more than just a talking to.

We have our helmets on, so we won't get caught.

Plus, this will be exciting.

- Oh, come on. - Just shut up and tag along.

You had nothing else to do anyways, right?

He got me.

Look! He's going inside the parking lot.

Welcome.

HOKKAIDO PRODUCT FAIR

- Welcome. - Thank you.

Try these. It's delicious.

Try out our samples.

HOKKAIDO

Mission accomplished, Captain Ashiro.

The limited quantity premium dry squid.

I was able to secure one.

Good work on accomplishing the mission.

I knew I can count on you, Hoshina. Thanks.

Dried squid?

What the hell? How disappointing.

But he was running an errand for Captain Ashiro, huh? I'm a little jealous.

Well, you lost the bet, Iharu-kun.

He wasn't meeting his girlfriend.

Wait.

He was running an errand for a woman.

- So, I still win. - Yeah, a woman, but it's his superior.

- That's splitting hairs. - What?

But I'm sorry for asking you to do this.

It's your first day off in a long time.

No problem at all. I'm also tending to my own business too, so it's fine.

I'll be going now.

All right...

If I have a choice, I'd rather not go,

but I guess I have to.

Where he's headed next is his real business?

See? Our bet is still on. Let's go, Reno!

Come on.

Over here. Oh crap.

What's wrong?

Vice-Captain Hoshina!

We made reservations for lunch, but we're running late.

We're having a hard time catching a taxi.

- I can take you. - What?

No, we can't make you do that.

- No worries. Hop in. - Thank you.

- You're a lifesaver. - Really appreciate it.

Looks delicious.

- Thank you very much. - Bye.

Welcome.

Yes, we have your reservation. This way, please.

How about this one?

The design is nice, and it looks like it would go well with the fire pit.

I think it'll create a nice atmosphere.

No, I don't recommend it.

It's lacking in functionality and strength.

And it's not portable enough to carry in a backpack.

At times, we may have to carry it on our backs for several days.

We need to be prepared

to survive in any harsh conditions.

I think we're imagining two completely different things.

You guys have a second?

Vice-Captain.

According to my calculation...

As you can see, it'll be better to buy the older model at a cheaper price.

- Since this is the original price. - Oh, I see!

- That's very helpful. - Happy shopping.

- That was close! - I'll take your order.

Sorry.

Nothing's really happening.

- This is... - I'm suddenly getting very curious

to find out what his business is!

What are you guys doing?

- Shinomiya! - Why are you so shocked to see us?

Minase-san and Igarashi-san too! What a small world.

We went out to eat together.

And guess who dropped us off at the restaurant?

Sorry, we already know who it is.

What?

You're tailing Vice-Captain Hoshina?

Invading someone's privacy like this would get you sued in America.

Men are such idiots.

Where's Kafka Hibino? He also has a day off today, right?

You know about his day off? Are you wishing Old Man was here too?

What? Why would I want to see him?

I just thought it was a nice day off since I don't have to see his stuffy old face.

- What are you guys doing? - You guys are here too?

You guys are tailing Vice-Captain?

I see.

I didn't expect you to be the nosy type, Shinomiya.

- I'm not tailing him! - Be quiet.

- I would never tail someone! - We'll get caught.

Quiet.

Are you sure no one saw you?

I don't know. But I'm a pretty plain guy, so I think it's okay.

What a facetious guy.

- Where are the goods? - I've got it.

They both came out.

He's huge!

All right.

Well then, I'll be going first. Come as you usually do.

We'll meet at the usual spot.

What was that right now?

This whole thing is scaring me!

Let's calm down.

That case we just saw

looks like the ones for transporting Defense Force equipment.

Is he selling them illegally on the black market?

Black market?

In response to the recent increase of kaiju related incidents,

it's predicted that Defense spending will also rise.

What we witnessed right now was weapons being traded

to a criminal organization in order to raise funds.

It's a possibility.

I'm sure Vice-Captain would never do such a thing like that,

and I'm sure there are other reasons--

How dare he keep this from us!

And now he's trying to take the fall all on his own!

I'll take him down, if that's what it'll take to stop him.

What I just said is really a joke.

Corruption is bad.

The Defense Force is a symbol of justice!

We will help him turn his life around.

- Yes, let's do that. - Wait a minute.

Shinomiya and Reno, you guys are on that side too?

This is absolutely ridiculous.

I knew I could count on you, Aoi. I'm so glad you're on my side.

If what you said is true, he should be punished accordingly.

First, we need to investigate the truth, Haruichi.

- You're on my side, right? - Hold up, guys!

Vice-Captain left already!

Let's find him!

He's nowhere to be seen.

Are there any other suspicious buildings or abandoned warehouses?

At this rate, Vice-Captain will become a criminal.

If all this is true, he's already a criminal.

But like I said, he's not guilty.

Either way, we need to find him...

Vice-Captain.

You guys saw me hand over the goods, huh?

Why...

Why did you do that?

This is so frustrating...

Oh well... I can't help it now that you guys witnessed it.

So, you'll have to cooperate with me now.

No way... I'm so disappointed in you...

Please stop this at once...

Vice-Captain Hoshina.

- It's really him! - Wow.

- He's so cool. - I think he's cute.

Vice-Captain, the business you had to attend to is...

TACHIKAWA DISASTER PREVENTION CENTER

LET'S PROTECT OUR LIVELIHOOD

Thank you so much for your assistance,

Hoshina-san.

Our main exhibit

is the "Mina Ashiro Sniper Experience Corner", but...

Wow, I didn't know these existed.

Now the long-awaited "Virtual Soshiro Hoshina" has been completed!

This Hoshina Exhibition will also be a permanent display.

This was made possible because you provided us

with the actual weapons you used in the past!

Can you please honor us by signing the wall?

I'd rather not. It's as if I'm acting like a super star.

But you are a super star.

Just shut up and sign it.

You guys are this season's new recruits?

- Yes. - You know about us?

I read about you guys in the Defense Force's bulletin.

It's also mailed to the alumni.

I'm a former member of the Third Unit.

Currently, I'm the deputy director of this disaster prevention center.

- Please excuse us, sir! - Don't worry about it. At ease.

- Let's play together. - Deputy Director.

These children are from the nearby nursery school.

We invited them for a private viewing of the newly remodeled center.

Everyone, these older brothers and sisters

will show you how to play with the exhibitions. Ask them anything!

Yeah!

CORRECT!

My turn next!

I made it to the top!

- Ouch! - Sorry.

Ichikawa.

Here.

It's a Chinese herbal medicine that quickly cures any digestive issues.

CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE

This really works. Give it to Kafka.

Thank you. It'll be a big help.

He was eating a lot last night,

and he wasn't with you today as you were tailing me.

So, I figured he's probably dying in his room.

By the way, where did you buy this?

The department store, when I went to the product fair.

He knew we were tailing him from the very beginning!

He's really a scary guy after all.

But I'm just glad this was all a big success.

The kids will learn about the work of the Defense Force,

which is beneficial for us,

and maybe some of our future officers will come from among them.

Yeah,

but what's most ideal

is that by the time they become adults,

the Defense Force will likely no longer be necessary.

Yes, that is the future

all of your juniors are fighting for.

Emergency Kaiju Alert. Emergency Kaiju Alert.

A kaiju has appeared in Chofu City.

- Fortitude 3.5. - I'm scared.

- Heading north at a very fast speed. - Evacuate the children just in case!

This way, everyone. It's all right.

That's right. Don't worry.

I'll take down the scary kaiju.

I'm counting on your support.

- Are you going, Hoshina? - Yes.

I'll leave things here to you.

Vice-Captain, we'd also like to provide support on-site.

You guys can stay here. The fortitude is at a moderate level,

and you guys aren't even on standby for an emergency...

Oh boy, it seems like all of you are workaholics.

With all due respect,

I can see that you wore your suit underneath your uniform.

Vice-Captain, it seems like you don't know how to enjoy a day off as well.

You shouldn't tease your superior.

Whatever. Let's go.

- Good luck! - Bye!

ORIGINAL BY NAOYA MATSUMOTO

Hoshina, thanks for all your help.

By the way, why did you suddenly change the location

for handing over the weapons and equipment?

I noticed they were following me,

so I decided to tease them.

Well, thanks to all that, I was able to have fun on my day off.
