This time, I'm not giving up, no matter what!

Episode 4 Fortitude 9.8

Oww...

Senpai, are you okay?

See? I can still stand!

He just stood up on his broken leg, right?

Well, if that's your choice.

If I think it looks bad, I'm turning the remote shield on, okay?

Fine by me!

Ichikawa, don't worry about me. Go on.

We had a deal, right?

If something happens to me, you can...

I'll back you up.

Let's do the best we can.

Ichikawa...

That's just who you are, isn't it?

All right, if you insist!

Are these guys for real?

Let's go, Ichikawa!

By our powers combined!

Everyone's staring at me, and I'm really embarrassed!

You can be our legs!

Use the suit's power to help you!

The broken bone hurts like hell, but...

Use all your knowledge to handle attacking!

Right!

C-Can we just pass these guys?

They'll be comic relief!

Take your job seriously!

Follow Kikoru and don't worry about me!

Hurry!

Got it!

Hang on tight!

He's so damn fast!

I'm gonna get there first!

Eat my dust.

Get ready so you can support her once we catch up!

Right! Leave it to me!

She's not even letting us help her, huh?

Number 2016 has taken down the last Yoju in Area Delta,

and is now engaging the Honju!

Last one.

Th-The Honju has been destroyed.

The final stage of the exam is complete!

Recovering drones.

Good work, everyone.

That girl is just too goddamn fast!

Combination

Undone

While we bring back the drones, we also need to send medics for the injured.

Right, Vice-Captain Hoshina?

Huh? Oh.

That was even faster than I thought.

It was so much work to set this all up, too.

Kikoru Shinomiya's even more powerful than the rumors say.

So she's enough to catch even your eye, huh?

I'd imagined we'd see about thirty people drop out.

But nobody did.

And with only minimal injuries.

And it's clearly all thanks to her.

That's what you'd expect to see from Director Shinomiya's daughter.

She'll be a big shot in the Defense Force someday, that's for sure.

And a ray of hope for this country.

I was perfect, wasn't I, Daddy?

Now, time to go back and laugh at Kafka Hibino a fourth time...

Kikoru Shinomiya was every bit the monster everybody said she was, right?

Yeah.

She sure showed me up, just like she said she would.

But thanks to her, we made it to the end.

Now we just wait for the results.

Yes...

What?

What's going on?

Senpai, let's get out of here!

I was barely able to protect my heart by focusing my entire shield on a single point...

I can still fight!

What the hell are you?

You're still moving?

It can talk?!

What's going on with that skin of yours?

There, there. I'll let you handle this.

It's a Kaiju, but it's intelligent!

What's going on?

Die!

Make sure you chew before you swallow.

Something's wrong!

Abnormalities detected in 2016's vitals!

What's going on? What's happening out there?

I don't know!

But we're picking up live signals from the Kaiju they already killed!

What?

Those Kaiju shouldn't be able to come back to life like that...

We have an estimated fortitude for the revived Honju!

It's 6.4!

It's more powerful now?

You'd need a whole company to handle that.

The only ones here capable of taking that thing down fast would be...

Activate remote shields for all examinees.

Yes, ma'am!

Send back some of the drones and get me a camera feed.

Hoshina, we're heading out there.

...me or her.

Roger.

Emergency. Emergency.

Examinees are to immediately evacuate to the nearest shelter.

I say again: examinees are to immediately evacuate to the nearest shelter.

Evacuate?

I can't evacuate...

If somebody doesn't stop this thing,

lots of people will die!

Stop the bleeding with Kaiju muscle fibers.

I can still move. I can still fight!

When I'm on the battlefield...

Nobody dies!

Be perfect, for the sake of this nation's future!

I need to be perfect!

I won't lose...

Kikoru-chan, you're amazing!

Your name's at the very top!

Kikoru Shinomiya

Kagari Tojo

Ryota Tokiwa

Kazuma Miyakawa

Haruka Kobayashi

Jin Saito

Tokyo Neutralization Middle School Acceptance List

That means you're number one, right?

Yes! I was the top scorer!

Wow!

Risa.

Daddy!

Congratulations on passing, Risa.

Don't pat me on the head like that, Daddy! It's embarrassing!

I'll buy you that present, just like I promised.

Really? Hooray!

Bye, Kikoru-chan!

Let's go get yakiniku to celebrate your hard work!

I told you there was nothing to worry about.

I always had faith in you, son!

Kikoru-sama.

The master will be home today.

I'm sure he'll be quite pleased.

Yeah!

You got the top score?

Of course you did. Who cares?

Rejoicing over a single success will only lead to failure next time.

Get ready for your next goal immediately.

Kikoru.

Always be perfect, for the sake of this nation's future!

And for your late mother's sake, as well.

Yes, sir...

I won't lose!

Never stop moving forward!

I can still fight!

Never let anyone be better than you!

Even with one arm, as long as it can move, I can...

Be more powerful than anyone else on the battlefield!

I can still fight!

No...

Honju sighted!

Kikoru Shinomiya is nearby, and injured!

The Honju's severed offensive uniorgan has regenerated!

It's condensing energy for an attack!

Crap...

Will we make it in time?

I'm done for...

I'm sorry, Daddy.

I couldn't be perfect.

I'm sorry.

You did a great job, Kikoru!

What are you doing here?

Because you worked so hard, everybody was able to evacuate!

Now leave the rest to me!

What the hell was that explosion?

Damn it!

Get a move on!

Get your asses into the shelter!

A signal flare?

You can run there, right?

Y-Yeah.

He's guiding our evacuation, huh?

That's why he's the JSDF's rising star!

Kafka-senpai...

Emergency.

Examinees are to immediately evacuate to the nearest shelter.

Senpai, let's get out of here!

The Honju came back to life!

Don't head that way!

Shinomiya is fighting it right now!

I told HQ!

Everyone get out of here! That's an order!

Senpai, you heard that, right?

He's already gone!

He's not going to transform, right?

He's not, right?

If he turns into a Kaiju right now, he'll be killed for sure.

No, he'll do it!

At times like this, he doesn't hesitate at all...

What?

What's going on?

You're a Kaiju?

Kikoru.

Please! Please!

Please don't tell the Defense Force about this!

Please!

I'll tell you more in a bit.

I only need a sec to kick this thing's ass.

So just relax and get some rest.

I'm detecting a mysterious ultra-powerful energy source near the Honju!

It might be a new Kaiju!

Another one?

Do we have visual?

The explosion knocked out our comms network.

We do not have visual.

Wait, is this number right?

Fortitude 9.8?

Impossible.

The blast must've scrambled the measurement system.

R-Right?

Otherwise it'd be one of the most powerful Kaiju in history!

Sorry. I'm running out of time here.

So I'm cleaning you up...

with one punch!

Let's see you come back to life after that!

N-No! Just kidding!

Please don't come back to life!

Don't scare me like that!

Who is this guy?

A Yoju?

Looks like you'll be okay.

I'm glad you're safe!

But let me say one thing.

You can't put yourself in danger like that!

You too!

Ichikawa! What are you doing here?

You ran off while my back was turned,

and sure enough, I find you here, transformed!

I was thinking maybe I could just transform a part of my body.

But when I saw the Honju I was like, "No way!"

You need to be more careful!

Shinomiya!

Ashiro and Hoshina have arrived at the scene.

What is this?

What would you have to do to cause this?

I've seen this before somewhere...

Captain Ashiro, I can't find any of the examinees.

This is the operation room.

An additional three examinees have arrived at Shelter 6.

It's Kikoru Shinomiya, Reno Ichikawa, and Kafka Hibino.

They're safe, huh?

All examinees are now accounted for.

Roger.

I'll admit that Kikoru Shinomiya is strong,

but she can't have done this...

The Kaiju coming back to life, and then this blast zone...

There's a lot we don't understand.

Bring in an investigation unit and a disposal unit.

Hoshina and I will wipe out the remaining Yoju.

Roger.

It's like what we saw three months ago...

Are they linked in some way?

I'm glad to see you're not as badly hurt as I thought.

I'm back in the hospital...

Shinomiya's condition is looking good, too.

They're using the Defense Force's best tech to treat her, supposedly.

Why does she get better treatment? Let me in on that!

Oww!

'Cause you only have a few fractures.

It was all over so fast.

It's been ages since I went up against people so incredible,

and it reminded me...

Chasing your dreams means there's always someone out there

who's beating you at the thing you care about most.

Senpai...

But it's also so exciting that you don't really care!

It helped me remember that!

And I have you to thank for encouraging me.

Thanks, Ichikawa.

Captain Ashiro?

What are you doing here?

I'm told you carried Shinomiya to the shelter.

Thank you for your help in rescuing her.

Goodbye.

Mi...

No, not yet.

I'll talk to her after I become an officer!

Just watch me, Mina!

Daddy, I couldn't be perfect...

I...

Daddy?

Oh, just stay there.

Vice-Captain Hoshina.

We dealt with all the Kaiju that revived.

Fortunately, nobody was killed

thanks to you taking down the Honju.

Is that not what happened?

I'm glad you're safe!

No, I defeated that Kaiju.

Kokubunji Tokyo

During a Defense Force selection exam,

an unusual incident took place, with Kaiju suddenly coming back to life...

There were several injuries during the incident, but zero fatalities.

Radio

The Kaiju that came back to life were defeated by members

Zero? Zero?

of the Third Division who were present during the exam...

No, no, no. No way there were zero.

Or is one of these "Captain" people that strong?

Kaiju No. 8 remains at large,

and the Bureau of Neutralization is enhancing security...

No. 8? What?

Um... this is how you answer a phone, right?

Hey, where've you been?

Breaktime's over, you know.

Uh...

Don't you "uh" me. Get back here.

Right.

I'll be right back.

Sheesh. Humans are so particular about time.

Sorry, sorry.

I had a bad case of diarrhea.

You had us all worried, you know?

Tell someone where you're going before you hole up in the toilets, new kid.

Sorry, Toku-san.

Hey, I heard there was an accident at the exam site.

Seriously?

Oops.

Are Kafka and Ichikawa okay?

How careless of me.
