This analysis is the result of work by the science team of the Defense Force Third Division, which specializes in neutralization missions. The information that forms the basis for these hypotheses and analyses was gathered by the Defense Force's intelligence teams, as well as cooperative civilian organizations. STATUS OF PURSUIT The Defense Force made attempts to gather more information to prevent further damage, but failed to discover the target. Yojo neutralization teams gathered at the hospital to form a pursuit force, expanding their search radius, but failed to discover the target. The Defense Force designated this Kaiju a long-term neutralization target and gave it the designation "Kaiju No. 8." It was designated a nationwide pursuit target, and became the first Kaiju that the Defense Force ever failed to neutralize. SECOND ENCOUNTER The second encounter occurred during the Sagamihara Neutralization Operation performed by the Third Division. After the defeat of the fungal-type Kaiju, the mission had shifted to neutralizing the remaining Yoju. At this point, communication was lost with several rookie officers. As biological monitoring systems went offline as well, their unit began to search for them. Members of the search party discovered two of the officers who were experiencing communication failures, as well as a humanoid Kaiju. Immediately afterwards, a mysterious shadow launched an attack at the officers, which struck the humanoid Kaiju instead. The mysterious shadow escaped. The humanoid-type, which remained, was identified as Kaiju No. 8 due to its physical description. An attempt was made to neutralize it, which failed. The unit recovered the two wounded officers, and another unit initiated a pursuit of Kaiju No. 8. It may possess the ability to enlarge the size of its entire body. * Descriptions of a mouth large enough to swallow a person whole and octopus-like legs indicate that it may possess transformational abilities. 00:12.743 --> 00:14.493 Kaiju No. 8... 00:23.753 --> 00:26.583 He felt... strangely human. 00:28.213 --> 00:32.513 And then there's No. 9, which could speak and disguise itself as a human. 00:34.973 --> 00:37.053 What's happening to the Kaiju? 00:43.893 --> 00:44.773 Vice-Captain! 00:46.523 --> 00:49.403 I'll do my best to be able to help in the fight. 00:50.943 --> 00:53.533 You can have 1% of my expectations. 01:00.033 --> 01:01.243 I can't let him down! 01:02.543 --> 01:05.373 Okay, I've finally taken the first step! 01:06.913 --> 01:10.003 Time to get some sleep so I can be ready for tomorrow. 01:10.963 --> 01:13.253 Getting rest is part of the job, too... 02:58.583 --> 03:04.973 Episode 9 Raid on Tachikawa Base 03:33.143 --> 03:35.063 Operation room, what's going on? 03:35.403 --> 03:38.113 We're seeing dozens of Kaiju inside the base! 03:38.323 --> 03:42.573 It appears the Kaiju have attacked us from the air! 03:43.493 --> 03:48.833 Estimated fortitudes 6.1, 6.3, 6.2, 6.5... 03:49.083 --> 03:50.493 Each and every one of them is... 03:51.003 --> 03:52.453 K-Kaiju! 03:53.043 --> 03:54.373 ...Honju class?! 04:10.263 --> 04:11.103 This is Hoshina. 04:11.353 --> 04:15.103 Captain Ashiro is away, so I'll be giving the orders here. 04:15.443 --> 04:18.483 Anybody who's on night watch, take battle stations. 04:18.813 --> 04:20.903 Get the off-duty officers here, too. 04:21.113 --> 04:22.863 All hands, prepare for combat. 04:22.863 --> 04:23.653 Roger! 04:23.653 --> 04:25.613 Lure as many as you can into the training area! 04:25.823 --> 04:27.993 Make damn sure none of them get off the base! 04:28.913 --> 04:31.993 But we're not hearing any reports of damage from outside the base... 04:32.833 --> 04:34.003 That can't mean... 04:35.873 --> 04:38.793 Are they after the base itself? 04:40.713 --> 04:41.923 What's going on? 04:43.423 --> 04:44.803 The base... 04:45.383 --> 04:47.513 is on fire! 04:50.013 --> 04:51.723 Wyvern-type Kaiju? 04:51.723 --> 04:53.893 Those things are bad news... 04:57.643 --> 04:58.903 Wyvern types? 04:59.443 --> 05:02.653 But then... that means something's not right. 05:05.073 --> 05:07.533 Get anybody who uses a rifle together at the base's center. 05:07.953 --> 05:09.493 We'll lure them in and shoot them down. 05:09.493 --> 05:10.123 Roger! 05:14.583 --> 05:15.753 Vice-Captain! 05:16.003 --> 05:17.793 Kafka!
