01:31.063 --> 01:34.653
<b>Episode 8   Welcome to the Defense Force</b>

01:40.453 --> 01:42.443
I'll be the one to...

01:48.683 --> 01:50.003
<i>What do I do?</i>

01:50.343 --> 01:54.623
<i>I can't use my fists against
 Vice-Captain Hoshina!</i>

02:02.533 --> 02:04.353
That seemed to work.

02:04.603 --> 02:07.853
<i>No, I won't survive this 
if I try to hold back!</i>

02:17.283 --> 02:20.513
<i>He's so quick, I can't harden my body 
to protect myself fast enough!</i>

02:22.783 --> 02:26.523
<i>He may not be stronger, but he's a hell 
of a lot faster than the humanoid Kaiju!</i>

02:27.723 --> 02:32.253
<i>The first time I saw Kikoru move, 
I thought she was incredible.</i>

02:32.873 --> 02:33.713
<i>But...</i>

02:33.823 --> 02:35.883
<i>He's on a whole other level!</i>

02:37.203 --> 02:40.733
<i>He's not even moving like a human!</i>

02:44.283 --> 02:45.793
<i>I dodged that!</i>

02:45.793 --> 02:48.433
<i>What is this? Some kind of 
slashing attack I can't see?</i>

02:48.843 --> 02:49.933
Core located.

02:58.403 --> 03:01.703
<i>Not that I'm human, either.</i>

03:02.283 --> 03:06.623
<i>Now that I've done it, I can tell that 
regenerating uses a lot of my stamina!</i>

03:07.083 --> 03:08.793
<i>I can't take too many hits like that!</i>

03:11.003 --> 03:12.463
<i>Wait, seriously?</i>

03:12.923 --> 03:15.333
<i>I'm not exactly joking around here.</i>

03:15.843 --> 03:19.943
<i>He's probably at least Fortitude 8.0.</i>

03:19.943 --> 03:22.553
<i>That'd make him a Daikaiju.</i>

03:23.163 --> 03:26.863
<i>But what's this weird feeling 
I'm getting from this fight?</i>

03:29.933 --> 03:31.243
Well, it doesn't matter.

03:47.403 --> 03:48.623
<i>Those invisible slashes...</i>

03:48.903 --> 03:50.253
<i>And a double attack!</i>

03:53.333 --> 03:54.703
<i>No.</i>

03:54.703 --> 03:56.703
<i>The double attack was a decoy!</i>

03:57.333 --> 03:58.563
Mist Slasher.

03:58.883 --> 04:00.553
<i>A triple attack?!</i>

04:00.553 --> 04:01.773
<i>Gotcha.</i>

04:03.593 --> 04:04.603
The blade...

04:04.933 --> 04:06.493
The blade's stuck!

04:07.473 --> 04:08.913
<i>That was close.</i>

04:08.913 --> 04:11.983
<i>That was stronger than I expected, but...</i>

04:12.193 --> 04:16.313
<i>After he saw my core, 
I knew he'd aim for me there!</i>

04:16.483 --> 04:17.313
No!

04:37.073 --> 04:39.833
Yikes. I let it get away.

04:44.843 --> 04:46.143
<i>Reporting.</i>

04:47.933 --> 04:51.643
Kaiju No. 8 has escaped.

05:02.183 --> 05:03.963
<i>Kaiju No. 8.</i>

05:04.283 --> 05:05.823
<i>Kafka Hibino.</i>

05:06.523 --> 05:09.523
Now leave the rest to me!

05:22.913 --> 05:27.063
<i>Is it really okay for me to believe in him?</i>

05:32.613 --> 05:34.453
I'm back...

05:36.393 --> 05:39.073
Sorry, I must've worried you.

05:39.773 --> 05:41.943
I wasn't worried!

05:41.943 --> 05:45.053
And I have more than
 a thing or two to say to you...

05:45.723 --> 05:47.033
Hey!

05:50.533 --> 05:54.023
Sorry... I let it get away.

05:54.893 --> 05:57.353
The one who hurt you...

05:57.353 --> 05:59.793
I-I don't care.

06:00.183 --> 06:01.763
I'll kill it myself.

06:04.873 --> 06:08.243
Hey, where are you going? 
You're in terrible shape.

06:08.503 --> 06:13.433
Ichikawa and Iharu were 
horribly injured... I have to go.

06:15.233 --> 06:17.683
And even if you went, what could you do?

06:18.993 --> 06:20.783
They'll be fine.

06:21.843 --> 06:26.603
The Defense Force is starting to 
use Kaiju regeneration in its tech, too.

06:26.873 --> 06:29.403
You should worry about yourself instead!

06:29.403 --> 06:33.323
Not only did the other officers see you,
you made contact with Vice-Captain Hoshina!

06:33.323 --> 06:36.213
They could easily find some clue 
that leads straight to you!

06:53.203 --> 06:55.313
It's rare to see you this down.

06:57.723 --> 07:00.893
Cripes. You've caught me in 
a really embarrassing spot.

07:00.893 --> 07:02.963
I'll take a photo to remember it by.

07:02.963 --> 07:04.403
Please don't!

07:05.213 --> 07:09.073
So, was Kaiju No. 8 strong?

07:11.013 --> 07:13.553
I'm assuming it's a Daikaiju.

07:15.173 --> 07:19.643
That would make it the first one
 since Fukuoka five years ago.

07:20.203 --> 07:24.253
Fortunately, there've been no casualties 
due to No. 8 these past few months.

07:24.783 --> 07:28.253
It doesn't seem to be the type 
to attack people indiscriminately.

07:28.863 --> 07:30.963
<i>Yeah, that's the strange feeling I had...</i>

07:31.813 --> 07:35.083
<i>Why did No. 8 attack
 my weapon instead of me?</i>

07:35.403 --> 07:37.553
<i>Nothing about that battle made sense.</i>

07:38.163 --> 07:39.723
<i>The way it moved and reacted...</i>

07:40.093 --> 07:44.023
<i>It was more like fighting a human 
than fighting a Kaiju.</i>

07:45.163 --> 07:47.163
For now, get some rest.

07:48.343 --> 07:49.743
I'll take care of this.

07:50.813 --> 07:52.593
No matter what type of Kaiju it is,

07:52.963 --> 07:55.163
it's our job to neutralize it.

07:56.103 --> 07:57.993
<i>Well, she's right there.</i>

07:57.993 --> 07:58.883
Roger.

08:00.953 --> 08:03.223
<i>Captain! Vice-Captain!</i>

08:04.573 --> 08:06.583
You're too loud, Ikaruga.

08:06.583 --> 08:07.683
What's wrong?

08:07.923 --> 08:11.213
<i>Sorry. I learned something 
I thought you should hear.</i>

08:11.643 --> 08:14.003
The Kaiju that attacked Furuhashi and Ichikawa

08:14.003 --> 08:18.353
appears to have been the same humanoid
 type that appeared at the exam site.

08:18.563 --> 08:20.623
When they found it,

08:21.483 --> 08:23.233
<i>it had a human form...</i>

08:40.493 --> 08:41.403
Hey!

08:42.643 --> 08:44.663
Hey, are you deaf?

08:44.663 --> 08:46.033
Out of the way!

08:51.353 --> 08:52.283
What?

08:59.073 --> 09:00.353
What?

09:01.843 --> 09:03.923
Hey, say something!

09:16.113 --> 09:17.423
<i>Breaking news.</i>

09:17.423 --> 09:19.863
<i>After the latest incident, the Defense Force</i>

09:19.863 --> 09:24.013
<i>has designated the humanoid type that
appeared at the exam site and Sagamihara</i>

09:24.013 --> 09:26.283
<i>as a long-term neutralization target,</i>

09:26.283 --> 09:29.323
<i>giving it the codename Kaiju No. 9.</i>

09:29.663 --> 09:35.043
Now, how do I kill Kaiju No. 8?

09:35.603 --> 09:37.673
Oh dear, oh dear.

09:38.763 --> 09:42.683
I'll need to remain hidden 
until I get used to this body again.

09:52.923 --> 09:54.323
He's awake.

09:56.953 --> 09:57.763
Hey.

09:57.763 --> 09:59.893
You awake, partner?

10:03.443 --> 10:06.783
Senpai, I'm glad you're okay.

10:10.653 --> 10:13.473
That's my line, dummy.

10:13.843 --> 10:17.163
Also... thank you.

10:17.163 --> 10:19.603
For saving me and Iharu-kun.

10:22.593 --> 10:24.393
Why are you thanking the old dude?

10:24.393 --> 10:26.853
Iharu-kun's in the same room?!

10:26.853 --> 10:29.633
It was Kaiju No. 8 that saved us, right?

10:29.633 --> 10:34.483
Well, he found the Yoju reproductive organs, 
and that was a huge help, right?

10:34.623 --> 10:37.123
Oh, good point.

10:37.123 --> 10:39.033
Thanks, old dude!

10:39.033 --> 10:40.363
S-Sure thing!

10:40.583 --> 10:44.093
Why'd the Kaiju save us, though?

10:44.973 --> 10:50.043
He was so strong.
 He knocked No. 9's head clean off!

10:50.043 --> 10:52.963
For a Kaiju, he was pretty damn cool!

10:53.133 --> 10:55.663
I wish you could've seen him!

10:57.563 --> 10:59.903
Hey, why are you blushing, old dude?

11:01.523 --> 11:02.653
Blushing?

11:02.653 --> 11:05.233
He's got the same dumb look 
on his face he always does!

11:05.233 --> 11:06.483
Very true!

11:06.483 --> 11:08.643
We're so lucky it was Iharu-kun...

11:08.643 --> 11:10.323
You don't need to hit me so hard.

11:13.773 --> 11:16.273
<b>{/an8}Furuhashi & Ichikawa</b>

11:13.773 --> 11:16.273
<b>Congratulations on Leaving the Hospital</b>

11:16.353 --> 11:19.653
Congratulations on leaving the hospital!

11:20.663 --> 11:22.613
Wh-What's this?

11:22.793 --> 11:24.913
A celebration for our 
first successful mission!

11:25.173 --> 11:27.933
We were waiting for you
 to get out of the hospital.

11:28.663 --> 11:30.703
Okay, let's get started.

11:38.003 --> 11:42.723
Your course of A6-grade marbled
 Japanese Black Wagyu beef!

11:42.723 --> 11:44.483
A6?!

11:44.483 --> 11:46.003
Is there an A6?!

11:45.513 --> 11:47.103
<b>*There is not</b>

11:47.323 --> 11:52.193
We could never serve less than the finest 
at a party organized by Haruichi-sama.

11:52.193 --> 11:55.773
I remember asking for the cheapest course.

11:55.773 --> 11:58.363
You can pay the standard prices.

11:58.363 --> 12:00.073
Really? Lucky us!

12:00.363 --> 12:03.033
Just who is Haruichi?

12:03.033 --> 12:03.873
What?

12:03.873 --> 12:06.353
You didn't know when you asked him
to put this together?

12:07.243 --> 12:07.993
That's right.

12:08.383 --> 12:11.463
He's the heir to Izumo Technologies,

12:11.463 --> 12:13.993
the largest anti-Kaiju arms 
manufacturer in the country.

12:14.243 --> 12:17.253
The place that makes 
the Defense Force suits?

12:17.253 --> 12:20.923
Yeah. He's got way more wealth 
than even my family.

12:21.083 --> 12:24.133
So that's why you asked me to find a place?

12:24.373 --> 12:26.043
That's right.

12:26.043 --> 12:29.573
You said you wanted everybody 
to get a good meal, right?

12:29.893 --> 12:31.643
And he's perfect for the job, huh?

12:31.643 --> 12:32.443
Yeah.

12:33.743 --> 12:37.193
So yeah, excellent job 
on your first mission.

12:37.603 --> 12:39.943
You don't get many days 
when all your batchmates

12:39.943 --> 12:41.463
are off at the same time.

12:42.273 --> 12:44.123
So have a lot of fun!

12:44.393 --> 12:45.353
Cheers!

12:45.783 --> 12:48.943
Cheers!

12:52.523 --> 12:54.753
Yeah, this is so good!

12:54.913 --> 12:57.483
...blew his head right off! It was amazing!

12:58.523 --> 13:02.063
I've never seen everybody looking so happy.

13:02.403 --> 13:05.073
Thank you for putting this together.

13:05.473 --> 13:07.573
Don't speak too soon, Ichikawa.

13:07.573 --> 13:09.263
The show's about to start.

13:10.113 --> 13:11.413
What do you mean?

13:12.803 --> 13:15.703
And you're too busy trying 
to show off to help your team!

13:15.703 --> 13:17.603
And you make everything personal!

13:17.603 --> 13:20.843
You're the one person on this team 
who has <i>zero</i> right to say that to me!

13:20.843 --> 13:25.173
I don't count, 'cause I'm 
just that damn good!

13:25.173 --> 13:26.493
Guys, don't fight...

13:26.803 --> 13:31.243
You always do things your way
 and neglect the basics.

13:31.243 --> 13:35.443
And you do things so by the book,
 you can't keep up when we work together!

13:35.443 --> 13:37.083
I have to slow myself down, you know.

13:37.373 --> 13:38.713
These guys too?

13:38.713 --> 13:42.623
So anyway, Izumo...

13:42.623 --> 13:45.143
You sure you guys' suits ain't defective?

13:45.143 --> 13:47.543
I couldn't even defeat
 a single one of those jerks!

13:47.543 --> 13:49.223
Draw out more of its power, then.

13:49.223 --> 13:51.143
Not you too, Senpai!

13:51.143 --> 13:52.833
Hey, you're with the comms team, right?

13:52.833 --> 13:55.693
We kept losing communications 
during the mission!

13:55.693 --> 13:59.083
You're the one who kept going inside 
radio interference areas without telling us!

13:59.083 --> 14:03.883
We've told you that if you give us 
advance notice, we can work it out!

14:04.353 --> 14:06.723
Oh no! It's everywhere I look...

14:07.923 --> 14:09.593
But isn't this...

14:09.973 --> 14:11.453
You've noticed, huh?

14:11.923 --> 14:16.083
<i>They're all talking about the mission now.</i>

14:17.593 --> 14:21.363
<i>After their first mission, 
they've all seen what they're lacking.</i>

14:22.723 --> 14:26.053
<i>That's right. It's not just me.</i>

14:26.983 --> 14:29.033
<i>Everybody wants to be stronger.</i>

14:31.383 --> 14:33.353
What did you say, asshole?

14:33.623 --> 14:36.123
Show some respect for your elders!

14:36.123 --> 14:38.793
I only respect people stronger than me.

14:39.123 --> 14:40.563
All right, it's on!

14:40.563 --> 14:43.903
I'll show you who's boss!

14:44.103 --> 14:47.393
I'm tired of listening 
to your whining, you know.

14:47.393 --> 14:49.323
That's my line, jerk!

14:49.503 --> 14:51.753
You don't listen, do you, girl?

14:51.753 --> 14:53.873
You've got no right to say that to me!

14:58.183 --> 15:00.413
It's a yearly tradition.

15:04.883 --> 15:08.493
We were so happy you reached out 
to us, young master.

15:08.803 --> 15:11.863
I thought I'd never see you again.

15:11.863 --> 15:13.753
Don't say that, Dojima-san.

15:13.993 --> 15:17.763
I just wanted to make sure 
everybody had a nice meal.

15:18.443 --> 15:20.893
So, about your father...

15:25.403 --> 15:27.373
I haven't talked to him since then.

15:28.103 --> 15:30.323
I see.

15:30.323 --> 15:32.053
I'm sorry for worrying you.

15:33.443 --> 15:36.913
Dojima-san, today's meal was incredible.

15:44.313 --> 15:45.713
<i>Did he hear that?</i>

15:46.283 --> 15:47.283
Bathroom.

15:53.673 --> 15:57.183
<i>I guess he's not the nosy type.</i>

15:57.923 --> 16:01.393
Okay, calm down, everybody.

16:02.383 --> 16:05.483
Time to make an announcement.

16:06.353 --> 16:07.283
Announcement?

16:07.753 --> 16:09.243
Kafka Hibino.

16:10.343 --> 16:15.923
You saved a lot of lives during the mission,
 and that got you noticed.

16:16.443 --> 16:18.593
So you're getting promoted to full officer.

16:24.053 --> 16:27.283
Welcome to the Defense Force's Third Division.

16:31.683 --> 16:35.263
Yes!

16:41.383 --> 16:42.573
Senpai!

16:42.573 --> 16:43.903
You did it, old dude!

16:43.903 --> 16:45.443
Don't call me that!

16:45.443 --> 16:47.313
Time to give him a victory toss!

16:47.313 --> 16:48.563
Great idea!

16:48.563 --> 16:49.983
Grab him, guys!

16:49.983 --> 16:51.343
You help out, too!

16:51.343 --> 16:52.433
Don't drop him!

16:52.433 --> 16:53.733
It's a good night.

16:55.973 --> 16:58.963
If I can stop us from losing 
a single person, I want to.

16:57.833 --> 17:14.153
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

17:09.213 --> 17:11.943
Yeah, I agree.

17:26.933 --> 17:28.163
Kafka Hibino.

17:29.403 --> 17:34.113
As of today, as of this moment,
 you are no longer a cadet,

17:34.343 --> 17:36.483
but a full-fledged Defense Force officer.

17:39.383 --> 17:43.103
I swear to give everything 
I have to the fight.

17:45.673 --> 17:48.683
A-Anyway, I'll be going...

17:51.283 --> 17:52.663
Don't get too excited.

17:55.443 --> 17:59.293
You're a long way from being 
able to fight by my side.

18:02.523 --> 18:05.353
<i>So Mina does remember!</i>

18:06.563 --> 18:09.353
Yeah, just you wait, Mina!

18:12.153 --> 18:16.083
Give me fifty push-ups for failing 
to address a superior by their title.

18:16.473 --> 18:18.323
I did it again!

18:19.233 --> 18:20.883
Kaiju No. 8...

18:20.883 --> 18:24.773
and No. 9 need to be discussed at HQ,
which requires my presence.

18:24.773 --> 18:26.223
<i>Whew...</i>

18:26.253 --> 18:31.273
I've put Vice-Captain Hoshina in charge, 
so ask him about the paperwork.

18:31.483 --> 18:32.083
Roger!

18:32.963 --> 18:36.963
And... it was Hoshina who 
recommended you for full officer.

18:37.203 --> 18:40.523
Of course, it only happened because 
of your success in the last battle.

18:40.813 --> 18:42.723
<i>The vice-captain...</i>

18:43.083 --> 18:44.743
Live up to his expectations.

18:45.893 --> 18:46.633
Roger!

18:58.093 --> 19:01.443
I guess that's enough for today.

19:02.243 --> 19:06.113
I don't want another lecture
from the vice-captain.

19:14.393 --> 19:16.193
The training room?

19:16.603 --> 19:18.193
At this hour?

19:18.893 --> 19:21.883
Who forgot to turn the lights off?

19:34.253 --> 19:37.453
<i>The vice-captain? What's he doing?</i>

19:43.193 --> 19:44.933
<i>Mental imagery training?</i>

19:48.913 --> 19:50.623
<i>But the way he's moving...</i>

19:52.783 --> 19:55.423
<i>He's not just doing ordinary training.</i>

19:55.833 --> 19:59.143
<i>He's recreating his battle with me!</i>

20:09.373 --> 20:12.523
Oh, Kafka?

20:12.523 --> 20:15.323
You're here way too late again.

20:16.843 --> 20:20.483
What about you? Why are you here so late?

20:21.763 --> 20:23.573
Working out a strategy for No. 8.

20:24.043 --> 20:28.163
So I can slice him in half with 
a single strike next time I see him.

20:30.413 --> 20:32.883
I screwed up at the start, you know.

20:32.883 --> 20:36.373
If I'd gone all in right off the bat, 
I could've chopped his head off.

20:37.993 --> 20:39.423
And...

20:39.753 --> 20:42.323
If I'd used skill six instead of skill five,

20:42.323 --> 20:44.343
I could've sliced him 
and his core into ribbons.

20:46.843 --> 20:48.223
You're getting way too scared.

20:48.843 --> 20:51.313
No normal officer could handle that thing.

20:51.313 --> 20:54.463
And No. 9's probably close to as strong.

20:54.903 --> 20:56.103
So...

20:56.983 --> 20:58.723
I've gotta handle 'em myself.

21:02.513 --> 21:05.033
<i>He really is amazing.</i>

21:05.363 --> 21:09.623
<i>He's not just trying to keep 
civilians safe, but us, too!</i>

21:10.593 --> 21:11.683
Vice-Captain!

21:13.483 --> 21:16.523
I'll do my best to be 
able to help in the fight.

21:19.293 --> 21:21.353
Don't get so cocky, fool!

21:21.353 --> 21:24.223
I don't expect a guy 
with 1% power to be helpful!

21:26.603 --> 21:29.183
B-Bye...

21:29.803 --> 21:31.003
But, well...

21:32.603 --> 21:35.333
You can have 1% of my expectations.

21:38.123 --> 21:40.003
I'm heading back to the office.

21:40.003 --> 21:41.173
You get to sleep.

21:41.533 --> 21:42.203
Roger!

22:06.133 --> 22:08.913
Initiate descent.
