Roger. Confirming relevant flight data.

No relevant flight data.

Glory 01, scramble.

This is a story before we got smarter…

And became confused.

We already said that.

Looking back…

-At a certain point… -Did the world change?

No. Everything was the same.

-We woke up in the morning. -Slept at night.

-We woke up at night. -Slept in the morning.

-Like always… -We worked.

Went to school.

-People were born. -People died.

-We played. -We thought.

-We laughed. -Laughed.

Laughed.

We flowed through time.

-When ruled by our feelings… -We get swept away.

-Before we knew it… -An unfamiliar beach…

I saw something strange.

What was it?

A broken vase becomes unbroken.

A dead flower blooming again…

Flower petals traveling up a river…

-I think it was… -Was it?

-You? -Not me.

Something new…

TIGERISH

Is that it?

A red cloud.

This is the Nigashio city office.

A flock of Rodans is heading this way.

It is extremely dangerous here. Evacuate immediately into a building.

Get off the beach right away! Run!

A molecule beyond imagination.

Is it something like benzene ring, fullerene, or rotaxane?

No similar structures are in the chemical database.

Can such a molecule really exist?

It's a stable molecule in the simulations.

I have to call home.

Mr. Yamamoto! What are you doing?

Let's go inside. It's dangerous out here.

You think so?

More monsters.

The coast guard issued a ban on going offshore.

It's a huge flock.

More than 10,000!

A warning to neighborhoods in the flight path…

They look smaller than before.

Their form is also slightly different.

What should we do?

They have to be exterminated, but…

There's so many of them.

They may be reacting to radio waves because they are radio-wave kaiju.

So will they fly to the city?

They may be attracted to activities that emit electromagnetic waves.

More and more Rodans are approaching. They're very ferocious and dangerous.

Mr. O was right, but I didn't think there'd be so many of them.

Where are they heading?

There are fires around town. Transmitters on utility poles…

Maybe they're just drawn to radio waves.

What should we do? The Gyro won't be--

Hey!

Come on! Let's go!

Go where?

To kick them out of town with your new Gyro!

Get ready!

Let's do what we can.

First, to the station.

They're here.

Good timing. Test it out on them.

Satomi, lock up after us.

See you guys. Be careful.

Archetype?

The collective term for the new molecules Professor Li is studying.

This is Archetype?

It hasn't been successfully synthesized yet, right?

We have to go home.

Can't you do something?

What's going on?

I think this is the reason.

Rodan?

More news on Rodan.

There are pillars of smoke all over town…

Most of the real-time posts are coming from Nigashio.

What do we do after we lure them?

Send them straight to hell.

What will happen to us?

Don't worry about the small stuff.

The station…

It's them.

There they are. Let's do it.

Changing antenna angle.

Activate radio waves.

OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT

No reaction. Increasing output.

It's working.

Great! Get the ones in town too!

Will it work that well?

Oh, no! There's more coming this way!

Speed up, or you'll get trapped!

Yikes!

Please stay indoors.

Wasn't that my apartment building?

I left my laundry out. Should we go back?

The next stop is… Darn, this is a limited express.

Do you have footage of my building?

We have access to 206 fixed cameras.

Three have a possible view of the building.

This doesn't tell me anything.

I found something!

Yun, get a hold of yourself!

Yun! Are you okay? Hey!

Yun!

Mr. O?

Over there!

There's Mr. O. and someone else.

She's a friend of mine.

She was left behind.

The bus driver is also there.

Three people are on the bus.

Oh, no. There's more.

We have a clear feed.

It's the robot.

Is this Haberu's company?

We now have access to a mobile camera. Let's go to your apartment.

Reading the operation manual. One moment.

It's moving. Left, good. Right, good.

Harvey? Or is it Yung?

Excuse me?

Taking this one too?

Well…

Hold on. I locked the shutter.

Thank you.

Be careful.

Thank you for letting me borrow this.

Borrow?

Are you sure about this?

I'm glad she was so nice.

Rodans have been sighted

in Nigashio, Kanbe, Tomisaki, and Nishizaki of Chiba prefecture.

Another one.

No signal.

There's a radio on the bus.

No, that's no good. They react to electromagnetic waves.

Oh, no!

Can you hear me?

This is Tachibana on Bus 6. Can you hear me?

We're under Rodan attack.

Send help.

Here it comes.

I'll distract it with my bow.

Your bow?

I'm 5th dan…

I can…

We're in trouble.

I'm sorry.

Should we take our chances and go?

Is that yours?

Yes.

Can I borrow it? And that plastic bottle.

Yung, compute.

Go ahead.

What's the Rodan's highest frequency component?

Around 800 hertz.

That's an octave higher than the reference tone.

And the wavelength?

Sound waves of around 40cm.

Half the wavelength with closed ends is 20cm.

I think it will work. Can we use the wind tunnel software?

Without an online connection, we can only do simple algorithms.

Do a simulation with this.

I'll scan it. Rotate it slowly.

Scan complete. Tracing.

Tracing complete. A simulation is now possible.

Give me a few samples.

Please indicate the speed.

Sixty meters per second.

Got it. A few options…

The placement, size, and number of holes.

-Holes? -Creating diagrams.

Is that smoke near my apartment?

At this rate, your laundry is…

I'm more worried about the town.

All right. Let's hurry.

-This is bad. -Done.

Shoot these.

Okay.

Oh, Great Bodhisattva Hachiman.

Pull a little harder.

For better resonance.

-Perfect. -Thanks.

Now!

Let's go.

Whistling arrows. Great idea.

Oh, no!

Hold it!

Got it.

You're finished.

Take this.

What?

What happened?

At that speed, I'm sure they escaped.

This train will make an emergency stop at the next station.

It's running out of power.

It's like before.

A view of Nigashio this morning. Signs of the attack are everywhere.

Blue tarps are scattered across the roofs…

Thirteen people are missing.

One hundred and forty-three are hospitalized.

Failure to dissipate heat…

Creatures that don't sweat…

To maintain its body temperature…

They were smaller than the ones before.

What about their gender?

It hasn't been identified.

Their digestive system is much smaller than the first set of larger Rodans…

H. G. Wells's novel published in 1898…

-From outer space? -Looking for a place to die?

The elephants' graveyard is a myth.

So are lemmings' mass suicides.

They flew out of the sea.

The unfamiliar environment must have caused their death.

Climate change has also prompted large human migrations in history.

What is that red blood-like liquid?

Sand that was on the Rodans…

The sand reportedly contains no radioactive material.

The red sand and health issues…

There was red sand by the skeleton in the basement.

"Self-employed journalist"?

Call me Kai.

I don't have money.

Did you read my paper and think I was a nutcase you could prey on?

Professor Li asked me to give this to you.

Flower?

Is it some kind of test?

It's nothing that serious.

You're funny. What's your major?

Biologia Phantastica.

The study of non-existing creatures made up of non-existing elements?

Insects that are born from their offspring or eating their feces to produce food.

Feces?

The number of eyes on creatures in a four-dimensional world.

The ability to fly in a two-dimensional world.

How do you think we'd see the world if we had three eyes?

What about Rodan? Could they exist?

They can because they were actually here.

An invitation?

Professor Li is working on a project in Dubai.

"Resident short-term researcher"?

She wants someone to talk to.

All expenses paid.

Collaborative research?

She's inviting you.

Really? Me?

It suddenly came alive and saved us?

If it did, wouldn't that be awesome?

Hello.

Two Rodan Bowls and a sandwich set.

Thanks. How's your husband?

See? I predicted the new menu and your lunch two weeks ago.

Did you? I don't remember.

Future events are already determined.

The answers are just hidden and unsolved.

What is it?

It was Naratake, trespassing as a guest.

The AI you designed and distributed?

Was Naratake returing the favor? Who's the user?

I don't know, but I can send a message.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Will they respond?

Yes!

SORRY I BROKE YOUR ROBOT

That was quick. Get more info.

DON'T WORRY, I'LL RETURN THE FAVOR

TELL ME IF YOU EVER NEED ANYTHING

IT'S NOT NECESSARY

YOU NEED HELP, RIGHT?

ASK ME ANYTHING

TYPING…

"Longhorn beetle"?

ISN'T THIS WEIRD?

I've seen this somewhere.

CALCULATING PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB

FLOWER ROTATING IN REVERSE

The flower inside is in reverse?

Yes! You're right.

I SAW IT IN AN ARTICLE ONLINE

Horizontally reversed… Vertically? Depth-wise?

Wait!

I THINK IT'S CALLED ARCHETYPE

"Archetype"?

WHAT IS THAT?

SOLVE IT AND FIND OUT

Is it a quiz?

I'LL FIGURE IT OUT

GOOD LUCK

This is…

Archetype?

This isn't cavitation noise. It's some creature's cry.

Cry?

I've never heard it before.

A creature moving at 50 knots 900 meters underwater?

It's approaching us.

Same speed, 5,500 yards.

All hands in position.

Distance, 1,200! So fast!

We're going to crash!
