KAFKA HIBINO

Toku-san, I thought Kafka said he won't be able to make it.

But knowing Kafka, he just might show up out of the blue.

But it won't do to have an empty seat.

- Then I'll place this here instead. - It's as if he died! It's bad luck!

You think?

- Sir, are you ready? - Yes!

- He's way too nervous. - It's the big day for the daughter

he raised by himself while working at a kaiju cleaning company.

Chieko...

Ouch!

Why are you more nervous than me? Pull yourself together!

Now, here comes the bride!

Come on, let's go.

- Dad. - Huh?

Thanks for everything.

This is the Emergency Report Center. Is this a kaiju sighting?

Sumida Ward? Okay, I will request the Defense Force to be deployed--

We're getting reports from all over Tokyo!

What's happening?

‎SETAGAYA CITY, WAKABAYASHI

‎TAITO CITY, ASAKUSA

‎HACHIOJI CITY, TAKANOSANGUCHI

‎MINATO CITY, SHIBAKOEN 4-CHOME

What are we supposed to do?

There's no way we can handle all of this.

We'll get you treated at the shelter!

Stay with us! You can't leave Chieko all alone!

‎Are you all right?

No!

Stop!

Come over here! Do you smell my blood?

Eat me instead! Over here! Eat me!

Leave her alone!

Narumi reporting.

Arrived at the incident site in Sumida City.

Captain Narumi.

- Rescue the injured. - Roger.

We'll take control of the site here.

Ashiro, do you have everything under control over there?

What a dumb question. Just worry about yourself.

Okay, that's good enough.

Let's go, Japan Defense Force.

It's time for battle.

ORIGINAL WORK BY: NAOYA MATSUMOTO

The neural connections for the new suit are stable.

Unleash Combat Power.

IZUMO TEC

Hasegawa, what's the situation?

I have good news and bad news.

I'll start with the good news.

Both the First and Third Divisions are currently deployed throughout Tokyo.

Securing evacuation centers for citizens is progressing at an unprecedented speed.

What about reinforcements from other divisions?

That's the bad news.

HYOGO PREFECTURE, HIMEJI CITY

This is exactly as Soshiro predicted.

They've driven a wedge across the country.

At this rate, we won't be able to send reinforcements to the east.

SOICHIRO HOSHINA CAPTAIN OF THE SIXTH DIVISION

And if we can't protect the newly renovated Himeji Castle,

- we'll be in big trouble. - That thought is giving me a headache.

- Let's go. - It's not just Hyogo.

We're also getting reports from Osaka, Kanazawa,

Matsumoto, Sendai,

and Hakodate.

And I'm sure there's more to come.

These incidents are erupting all over the country, huh?

They tend to target major cities,

power plants, radio towers, government facilities,

transportation hubs, and other important facilities we rely on.

These kaiju are clearly not the normal kind.

Yeah, there's something controlling them.

That thing is on the move.

The number of kaiju appearing is unprecedented,

and we can't expect reinforcements from other divisions.

- What should we do? - We'll get rid of them on our own.

That's what we've been preparing for.

Hasegawa, launch that thing.

ARIAKE MARITIME BASE NORTH AREA

It's been decades since this has been in use.

Yeah, not ever since Hikari was the Vice-Captain of the First Division.

NUMBERS WEAPON 4 EXCLUSIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC LAUNCHER

Are you watching, Isao?

It's as if I'm seeing Hikari when she was young.

Vital signs are stable, and trajectory calculation is complete.

Ready to launch.

Numbers 4.

I'm still not good enough to replace Mama.

But I will

become a worthy master.

So, give me your power.

Kikoru Shinomiya, ready.

Power and magnetic fields are stable.

Begin countdown.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Launch.

Launch was successful. Internal pressure within acceptable range.

She will soon reach the target point!

Separating the pod now!

Shield deployed. Preparing to release.

No. 4's uniorgan responding normally.

Numbers 4... Activate!

Wow, with this, she can get to the neutralization area in an instant.

The fastest Numbers Weapon and the only one with the ability to fly.

This is why Hikari had the highest number of neutralization counts

among all the other previous Captains.

Cease fire! She's coming!

This is Kikoru Shinomiya, the daughter of the late Director General Shinomiya.

I'll give you ten minutes to neutralize those kaiju, nitwit apprentice.

All I need is five minutes, nitwit mentor.

All Platoons! Move on to Phase Two!

Move to support Officer Shinomiya!

She's fast!

Using Burst Rounds to provide backup will only get in her way.

All Officers! Switch to Freeze Rounds!

Focus on robbing the target of its mobility!

Whoa.

We can't keep up with her speed! This is a Captain-level skill!

In addition to the offensive power she inherited from her father,

she now has the mobility she inherited from her mother.

I said earlier that she's just like Hikari, but I stand corrected, Isao.

She takes after

both of you.

Officer Shinomiya has defeated three targets!

Move onto Battle Stage A!

Not bad.

- How's the Chofu area? - I have that area under control.

Form assimilation complete.

Kaiju muscle fiber and uniorgans are functioning normally.

Vital signs stable, ready to synchronize.

Numbers 10, ready to activate.

This day has finally come.

Come on. Let me go wild,

Hoshina.

I told you that I'm the one in charge.

Just shut up and follow my lead.

By the way, Okonogi-chan, why is this a talking suit?

It's so hard to work in this! This thing won't shut up!

It's the first Numbers Weapon in history with a will of its own.

Neuro-synchronization is difficult, so verbal communication is essential.

And it's still a prototype.

Honestly, it's too early to deploy it in combat.

I'm aware of that. But...

In order to outsmart No. 9, this kind of gamble is necessary.

You're not so bad, just as I thought.

"Not so bad"? Who do you think you are, Pyonkichi?

We haven't even succeeded in unleashing our combat power during training.

You're acting on your own, so we're falling apart,

and there's no way we can synchronize our minds.

Follow my orders!

If we fail again today,

I'll die, and you'll be discarded.

I know that.

Okay, let's go!

What! The bottom of the helicopter fell off!

This bastard doesn't get it at all!

Hold on! I haven't explained to you our strategy.

It's more fun without strategies.

This is not good. They're isolated in an enemy-dense area.

Just as I expected, it was too early to deploy them into combat!

I'll save the lecture for another time.

I'll show you who the master is.

Let's go.

Their left side is weak, so we'll attack there and defeat them one by one.

- Strike the left side. - Strike the right side.

Huh?

What the hell? It makes more sense to attack where it's vulnerable!

That's boring. You and I can cut through the right side.

They're fast. I'll go between their legs and slice them from behind.

I want to see how strong they are. Receive their attack.

- He was hit! - Vice-Captain!

What are you doing? Now we're surrounded!

This is getting exciting!

This is not good! They're not in sync at all!

No mental synchronization.

Their combat power has dropped from 51% to 41%!

It's never been this bad, even during training!

Vice-Captain, withdraw for now and get into your regular suit!

There's no way I can escape. They're too fast, and there are too many of them.

I'll synchronize and defeat them!

Combat power has dropped even further down to 34%!

If it drops any further, you won't be able to defend against the attacks!

No. 10, this is our last chance. Follow my orders.

We'll use the aircraft as cover and destroy them one by one.

Don't retreat! Let's fight them head-on!

Vice-Captain!

We're detecting vitals from Numbers 10! He's all right!

That kaiju

predicted my movement and slammed that plane into me.

I hardened the suit, so you survived that direct hit.

- My quick-thinking decision saved you. - You idiot!

If you had listened to me from the start, we wouldn't be in this predicament!

It was a mistake to ask you for your cooperation in the first place.

Why do I always end up

getting involved with stubborn idiots who won't give in even if they die?

No. 10, as a weapon, your disregard for orders is a fatal flaw.

If this continues, you'll be destroyed.

But we can't die here.

Today, I'll go along with you.

Mental synchronization has begun. Combat Power is rising!

That's more like it!

We'll fight them head-on!

Follow me with all you've got!

Combat Power is rising!

First, it's a frontal attack!

As for these two...

We'll fight both of them at once, because I enjoy being at a disadvantage.

Like I said, Hoshina, even if we're at a disadvantage,

we can win!

We'll take them head-on and overpower them!

Overpower them!

This is how a battle should be!

Now let me go on a rampage! I'll tear apart the last one!

- Hm? - Too late, No. 10.

I defeated the last one.

I told you to follow me with all you've got.

What? That was my line.

Next, we need to clean up the runway.

Combat Power is continuing to rise. It's 67% now!

It's an all-time high for Numbers 10!

Hoshina-Style Sword-Slay Technique Number Two - Cross Slasher!

So fast.

I won't evade them. Show me you can defeat them by yourself.

Leave it up to me.

How was that?

You fail. I'm being hit with shards.

Why is he saying something that would provoke that thing?

If it gets mad, they'll be out of sync.

Combat Power is rising! It's past 70%

How?

Don't mess with me!

There were shards because you didn't fully draw out my power!

Even with over 70% power, you can't block the attacks of these weaklings?

That's disappointing.

What did you say?

Let's go to the next target! I'll show you what I can do.

Even though they're fighting, the Combat Power is rising!

I don't understand it anymore!

There it is. The black one in the back is the boss of these guys.

We'll hunt them down head-on. Show me you can block all their attacks.

Leave it up to me.

I really don't want to fight with this muscle-head strategy.

- It's not my style. - Pass them.

Hoshina Style Sword-Slay Technique Number One -

Air Slicer!

Watch out behind us.

No need to tell me. I see it.

Number Three - Return Slasher!

It was perfect this time.

That was just one time! I told you, don't let any attacks come through!

It feels strange. This is the first time I've had someone clear the way for me.

Let's finish this.

Number Six...

It's that move...

What is this? It's as if my muscles are about to explode.

I can feel power surging through my body!

Just as I thought, fighting with you is fun!

Eightfold Slasher.

The runway is under control!

All that's left is the terminal.

Vice-Captain, huh? He's more of a monster than the kaiju.

Now, let's go hunt down the kaiju outside.

The next targets are the Officers. Let's annihilate all the Officers!

Idiot! Why would we annihilate the Officers?

I'm sick of fighting those kaiju. I want to fight with someone else.

Stop being a baby! We have to defeat the kaiju outside. Let's go!

I want a different opponent.

Don't stick your tail into the ground!

Look, there are so many of them.

They're losing focus.

Some operators

are having fun, calling it the Double Act Suit.

But with 77% Combat Power, it's already comparable

to the power of the Vice-Captain in his regular suit.

If he ever releases over 90% Combat Power...

How much power would he be able to demonstrate on the battlefield?!

Report from the Third Division.

Vice-Captain Hoshina successfully defused the situation

at Chofu Airport.

I can picture that bowl cut with a smug look on his face.

- All that's left is the Oizumi area. - Which Division is in charge?

It's covered by Tachibana's Platoons and Shinonome's Platoons.

There are limitations on the areas where combat is possible due to heavy traffic,

but there are also six Giant Class kaiju,

which is making the situation worse.

There are too many of them.

It's a big struggle just to even defeat one of them.

It's the first time that six of that size have been seen in the same area.

Platoon Leader Shinonome, please put me on the front lines!

I've never fought against a kaiju of that size,

- but I will take care of it. - I can't allow that.

Continue working as support.

You are an essential part of the battle against No. 9.

In Shinagawa, he sensed your partial transformation and showed up.

If you transform, there's a risk that he'll find out your location.

Your deployment will be held back

until the most important phase, when it's time to defeat No. 9.

But then how will we...

The Giant Class kaiju is transforming!

Internal temperature rising!

- How can we control this situation? - Direction west-southwest.

Prepare to shoot.

This voice...

I'll take care of it.

Soshiro Hoshina's Hoshi Night Nippon.

Bowl Cut, what the hell is happening to this show?

Oh, you're here again, Captain Narumi?

- My fans are not allowed to enter. - I'm not your fan!

Username, Japan's Treasure in Ariake.

"Miracle of Ariake.

My name is in the dictionary under the word 'genius'.

Captain Narumi is cool."

I see.

You're pretty gutsy to bring this up yourself, Hoshina.

Why didn't you read any of the messages I wrote?

I tried to read it,

but my guest didn't want to hear it, so I respected his request.

Hasegawa!

I didn't raise you to be a Vice-Captain who won't read messages from the Captain!

Enough!

You did not raise me.

Since you came all the way here,

I'll be happy to listen to any requests you may have, Captain Narumi.

Manners, appearance,

diligence, or grace.

That's not what I expect from a radio show.

I only demand one thing. Read my messages!

Then prove your overwhelming skill.

No one is expecting anything entertaining from a regular message.

Plus, the tongue twister episode was a big hit on social media.

Stop searching yourself online!

- Ouch! - Captain Narumi,

I don't need a well-mannered, incompetent person on this radio show.

Entertaining messages will always be read, don't you think?

Then create a segment on your show to showcase my talent.

- For example... - Yes, I'd love to do that,

- but it's already time to go. - What?

And this is the final episode of Hoshi Night Nippon.

Soshiro, I'm sorry that this had to be the final episode of your show.

What do you mean by that?

Thank you! Hopefully, we can meet again on Hoshi Night Nippon!

THE END
