IHARU FURUHASHI

Furuhashi is at the top again?

Damn it!

There's no point in competing against him.

He'll still be the top scorer even if he goes to Neutralization University.

Back when I was in school, I was invincible.

My brain absorbed everything I was taught,

and my body got stronger and stronger with each workout.

I felt the sky was my limit,

and I was excited to see just how strong I could become.

Mina Ashiro, Gen Narumi, and Isao Shinomiya.

I believed that I would be on the same level as them,

and never doubted myself even for a second.

Activate Numbers 6.

No issues with shape assimilation and neural synchronization.

- He couldn't handle it. - Hey, is he all right?

It was too much for him to begin with.

ORIGINAL WORK BY: NAOYA MATSUMOTO

Armed closure of districts M to R.

Evacuation within a 5 km radius is complete.

Reporting armed closures from districts A to N.

As of now, all kaiju have been contained in the neutralization zone.

Roger. Good job.

And Ichikawa-kun?

Are you ready?

Mental waves show no abnormalities.

No. 6's cells are at normal levels.

I'm ready.

This is the No. 6 combat suit.

The suit hasn't even activated yet,

but it's giving me the chills just by standing close to it.

But man, I can't believe he really

produced the necessary results in just a month.

I gave him that deadline

as a typical old man's attempt

to make young people face the harsh reality.

In the business world, that would be abuse of power.

The data from the Third Division shows

his extraordinary growth after his enlistment.

Although his current level of Unleashed Combat Power

is far inferior to that of Kikoru Shinomiya,

his rate of improvement far exceeds hers.

Is this what people call a genius?

However, in "real combat", things never go as planned.

Ichikawa.

I'll have you and your platoon

neutralize a Honju.

Your opponent is Mole Type 67.

This kaiju first appeared in '67

and has been appearing in this area roughly every five years.

Its fortitude is 6.4.

If I decide that you can't handle it, I will neutralize it.

Well then,

let's see if you're the right compatible user

for Numbers 6.

Roger.

Bungui Pass Neutralization Operation. Begin!

He's so fast!

Damn it, this is no time to be conserving energy.

Maximum Release!

I'll catch up to him!

As I mentioned before,

the burden of the Numbers Weapons

is so much that it shortens the user's lifespan.

Ten minutes. That's the time limit

I'm giving you during the trial period.

The time I'm given is short.

But I'll produce results by then.

Yoju.

I'll dodge as it lunges and attack from the side.

He doesn't have control of the Cryokinesis.

Iharu-kun.

Yes, it's all good. I can fight this.

I'm going to protect you, idiot.

I'm strong enough to fight against this too.

Calm down.

Do it just like during training.

The Cryokinesis secured his footing.

What's that power?

Furuhashi, don't lose focus! Look above!

Damn it! Damn it!

Why? Why can't I defeat this Yoju

with just one strike?

I started suffering setbacks after I joined the force.

I stopped

making progress.

When I saw other people who were gifted...

Every day, I was made to realize

that I was not like them.

I worked harder

and harder,

but instead of closing the gap between us, I fell even further behind.

And the real monster

appeared out of nowhere.

Furuhashi!

Furuhashi, don't push yourself too hard.

Sometimes it's important to hold back.

Damn it. I'm so pathetic.

Thanks, Iharu-kun.

Thanks to you, I was able to regain composure.

Wait...

I'll do the rest.

Don't leave me behind.

Officer Ichikawa has engaged with the Honju.

Unleash Combat Power.

Maximum Release. Unleashed Combat Power 43%.

Wow...

This isn't good enough.

Its hardened skin and the speed of regeneration

are on a completely different level from a Yoju.

I can't reach the core like this.

I need more. I need more power.

Unleashed Combat Power increased to 46%!

He's getting stronger as he's fighting.

No, this is...

Still not enough.

I need more power.

Unleashed Combat Power increased to 51%!

Officer Ichikawa, are you all right?

Yes, I'm all right.

In fact, I'm more clear-headed than usual.

Reno.

This isn't good.

I need more.

I need more power.

The Honju is transforming.

Our opponent is going all out too.

If I was stronger...

Senpai

and Iharu-kun

wouldn't have gotten hurt.

I have to do this.

He's fast.

Officer Ichikawa destroyed the Honju's organ.

He's strong, but...

His blood pressure is rising. He has torn his muscles in six places!

His actions are clearly exceeding the limits of his body.

His body won't last like this.

He's being influenced by No. 6 and losing himself.

No.

That's the real Ichikawa-kun.

The Numbers Weapons user

is affected by the enormous energy of the Daikaiju

and the effects of synchronizing with its cells,

which activates the brain.

That causes the amount of neurotransmitters

and transmission speed to increase abnormally.

As a result, their true human nature and desires

become more apparent.

Depending on the personality,

it can even end up destroying them.

No way! That never happened during training!

That's why the battlefield is terrifying.

Extreme physical and mental conditions

can lead to unforeseen circumstances.

Especially so

when dealing with Numbers Weapons 6,

which is made by the strongest kaiju in history.

The burden to the mind and body will be like no other.

Ichikawa, if you can't control yourself,

I can't authorize you as a user.

When Reno failed the compatibility test...

there was a part of me

that felt a little relief.

I'm...

I'm...

I'm the worst.

What is this?

It hurts.

- I have to do this. - My entire body hurts...

I have to do this.

- But I can't stop myself. - I have to do this.

This isn't good enough. I need more.

I can't control

my own thoughts.

More, I need more.

I need more power.

About a 50 m radius around Officer Ichikawa is frozen!

He's attacking all living things within range!

Crap! We can't get close enough to provide back-up!

He's refusing others to get involved?

That's an incredible sense of responsibility. But...

35% of the Honju's body has been frozen!

These attacks are surpassing its regeneration speed!

But Officer Ichikawa...

The number of muscle tears has increased to 16,

and the number of fractures has also increased to four!

He's already...

He fractured his left tibia!

He's reached his limit.

Ichikawa-kun.

That's enough.

I'm going to neutralize that thing.

- Toko-chan, get Ichikawa-kun some help. - Roger.

No way...

- You're weak. - Wait...

- You're weak. - I failed again.

- Why am I so weak? - You're weak.

- You're weak... - I...

- I can't... - You're weak.

save anyone...

You're weak.

Reno!

Furuhashi-kun?

Captain Ogata, please wait! Please give Reno and me

a little more time!

Furuhashi-kun, that area is dangerous right now.

Get out of there immediately.

Toko-chan.

What's his Unleashed Combat Power?

I believe it was recorded as 24%.

This is 24%? Really?

He's an incredible guy!

He's honest, hardworking,

and cares for his friends.

So much so that it makes me jealous of him.

He can definitely see this through!

Right?

Right?

Right?

Right, Reno?

Iharu-kun? Why...

You finally woke up! Stay still and listen to me!

I asked Captain for more time.

The other officers are keeping the Honju at bay.

You're going to take down the Honju, right?

So that you can officially wear the No. 6 combat suit.

I'll maneuver things so that the Honju's core is within range.

Your job is to shoot and destroy that core!

But Iharu-kun, that will put you in danger!

Don't underestimate me!

You always try to do everything on your own.

You're younger than me, so shut up and rely on me!

Iharu-kun,

you're really amazing.

Whenever I'm scared,

you always help me to focus ahead.

Okay.

Let's do this.

All right.

- Don't miss my signal. - Yes.

Neutralization Operation Overtime.

Begin!

Soshiro Hoshina's "Hoshi Night Nippon."

These are my guests this week.

Good evening, everyone. I'm Reno Ichikawa.

I'm Iharu Furuhashi.

Let me read the question we received.

This is from username I Watch Movies On My Day Off.

"I'm in love with my coworker.

At first, this person was just a colleague and friend.

But I fell in love with this person's kindness.

I haven't talked about this with anyone due to my position at work and so forth.

What do you think I should do?"

Did someone really send this question to "Hoshi Night Nippon"?

Someone wants love advice from Vice-Captain Hoshina?

- Ichikawa, did you say something? - No, nothing at all!

Hey, Reno, doesn't this make you even more curious

to find out what kind of love advice this workaholic is going to give?

You're right.

We'll give a simple answer

- and then turn it over to Vice-Captain! - Roger!

What are you two whispering about?

We're on-air right now, you know?

I'm sorry.

So, you fell in love with your coworker, right?

Here's what you have to do.

Be honest and say, "I like you!", and then play it by ear.

Isn't that too risky?

- That's very you, Iharu-kun. - What about you, Reno?

This person should wait and see how things go.

Go out to eat a few times together

and test the waters before making a move.

That'll take forever before they can start going out!

- Right, Vice-Captain? - Nice pass, Iharu-kun!

But love manifests itself in various forms.

From what I hear, there are 200 different types of love.

It's almost time to go. Tune in next week to "Hoshi Night Nippon"!

In the end, we couldn't find out anything!
