00:00Even with almost nothing left of it, we're still getting a fortitude reading of 5.7 off this thing.
00:12Finally awake, are we?
00:15Morning, number 10.
00:30Hey, simmer down. You know I can still kill you.
00:38Swordsman, I knew you were different from the others. I only wish I could have beaten and consumed you.
00:47Try to be careful, Vice Captain. There's no telling what he'll do.
00:51Let's get straight to the point. There's a particular kaiju we call number 9.
00:56And you're going to tell us everything you know about it.
01:03Yes, as you wish. I can begin by telling you that it created me.
01:11Created him?
01:12If you would have me speak further, you must take me out of this place and fight with me.
01:26Are you made of body or of soul?
01:34Waiting for your peace to lose control?
01:41Are you holding on or letting go?
01:46You try to hide it, but you know you can't run from yourself.
01:59Do you dream of hell?
02:01A dream of hell?
02:02If you can't run from yourself.
02:06Do you see the darkness where you dwell?
02:10Come on, come on.
02:11Sometimes I fear for your soul.
02:18You can try to hide it, but you know you can't run from yourself.
02:27You must take me out of this place and fight with me.
02:57Couldn't if I wanted.
02:59With your core that damaged, there's no way to get you back in fighting shape.
03:03Not that.
03:04I'm aware of the state I'm in now.
03:07I'm not asking you to face off with me again.
03:11You have the technology to transform my body into a weapon, yes.
03:16I wish for you to wield me in battle.
03:25Give me your body.
03:28Let me fight once more.
03:31It wants to be made into a weapon?
03:33That's dangerous, Vice Captain.
03:35There's no precedent for turning an intelligent kaiju into a weapon.
03:39We have no idea what effects it could have on the wielder.
03:43Our battle was so exhilarating, like living the most vivid dream.
03:50Yeah, for you.
03:51For me, it was boring as hell.
03:52I'm not fooled by your words.
03:55I sensed it as we traded blows.
03:59The joy of risking your life to a worthy foe in combat.
04:05We are alike.
04:07I know you understand.
04:11The urge to push the limits of your ability to battle a powerful adversary, be they human or kaiju.
04:25I'm gonna need a minute to think.
04:27Don't go anywhere.
04:38Okanogi.
04:40Did you hear what that absolute freak just said to me in there?
04:43Who gets that excited about fighting?
04:44He's way scarier now than he was when he was trying to kill me.
04:47I am so creeped out.
04:50I so don't want to go anywhere near him ever again.
04:52I'm opposed to it as well.
04:54It's never been done.
04:55We have no idea what that monster's planning.
04:58It might actually take over your body.
05:00The thing is, he is genuinely ridiculously strong.
05:10And our only lead on number nine.
05:15Well, worst case scenario, I'd die.
05:19Captain.
05:21I'm going to agree to his condition.
05:25Understood.
05:26I trust you to make that call.
05:28I'll ask HQ to proceed with weaponization.
05:32Jeez.
05:33I never asked for a deranged fanboy.
05:41Start talking.
05:42You accept my terms very well.
05:46Let me be clear about this.
05:49You're the weapon, if not the wielder.
05:52I'm going to be the one who's using you.
05:54Got it.
05:57Huh?
06:00Vice-Captain Hoshina is coming here?
06:02Yes.
06:03For a conference on the number nine situation.
06:08Vice-Captain Hoshina.
06:12I still owe him an apology.
06:14For keeping my identity hidden from him for so long.
06:18And Nadami?
06:18Where is he?
06:20Last I saw, he was heading off somewhere with a bunch of the platoon leaders.
06:23This is going to be a pain.
06:28Why is that?
06:29Tokyo is split between the first and the third.
06:31So there's competition.
06:33The public is constantly comparing them.
06:35Which leads to a lot of head-butting.
06:37Jurisdictional disputes.
06:39Bruised egos.
06:40They really don't get along.
06:44Hoshina.
06:46You're just strolling onto my turf.
06:48And what the hell makes you think you can get away with that?
06:50I'm honored.
06:52Captain Nadami showed up to greet us in person with skits and props.
06:56Well, since you asked, we are here on direct orders from headquarters.
06:59So feel free to report back to your gamer cave.
07:02I never approved a visit.
07:03We don't allow bowl cuts or squinty eyes on this base.
07:06So see, that's two violations right off the bat.
07:09Oh really?
07:10Are you sure my haircut is the actual issue here?
07:13It feels like it might be something else.
07:15Like all those times back in small kaiju combat training when I mopped the floor with you.
07:24Captain!
07:25Hey, what the hell did you do to him?
07:27You were right there, you tucks.
07:28And what was that stunt you pulled in Suganami last month?
07:31That was our kill, jerk!
07:32How dare you take down a kaiju on first division turf!
07:35The oju were spilling over in the mitaka.
07:38We had to push him back and the honju was in the way!
07:40You still gotta call it in and get permission before engaging!
07:43You so-called elites never change!
07:45We defend the country, not your reputation!
07:48Let me set one thing straight right now!
07:50Hoshina may have beat my kill count in small kaiju neutralization,
07:53but I am still tops in literally every other category!
07:56Forgive me if I'm misremembering.
07:58Didn't Captain Ashido beat you in long-range kills?
08:00Hushina may have beat your kill count in small kaiju neutralization, but I can't defend you when you walk right into it like that!
08:09But you just shut up!
08:10All of you shut up!
08:11What I'm saying is that I don't like you, so get the hell off my back!
08:18That's enough of that.
08:19Good afternoon, Vice Captain Hasegawa!
08:26Soshiro, good to see you.
08:28Mr. Hasegawa, it's been a while.
08:31We're ready to start the leadership conference.
08:34Right this way.
08:44Everyone is here.
08:53We will now begin our discussion on how the Eastern Japan forces can enhance our defenses against kaiju number nine.
09:00Hey, Narumi!
09:02I will catch a train and come slap you if you start yawning mid-meeting!
09:06Count on it!
09:06Unclench, musclehead.
09:08If my body's telling me to yawn, I got a right to yawn, we all agreed.
09:13Don't waste your breath, Jura.
09:14This is par for the course with him.
09:16We all know his only redeeming value is killing kaiju.
09:19You shut up, Boshiro!
09:21That was like ten times worse than anything she said!
09:24Kais, please.
09:25We barely see each other, so let's all try to get along.
09:28We're having a conference in your sake bottles right there in the frame!
09:32Oh, sorry.
09:34Everyone settle.
09:36Now I get to wrangle these knuckleheads.
09:39So, Shiro Hoshina, let's keep it brief.
09:42Roger.
09:46We've recently come into some new information regarding kaiju number nine.
09:51And to summarize, what we're facing now is too big for any single division to deal with.
09:58Where'd you find this out?
10:00Interrogating number ten.
10:02He talked willingly and we were quite shocked by what he had to say.
10:05He told us that he was a creation of kaiju number nine.
10:11So that fortitude 9.0 monstrosity was created by another kaiju?
10:16Correct.
10:17The takeaway here is that kaiju number nine presents us with an enemy unlike anything we face to date.
10:22A kaiju capable of creating novel types of kaiju and incredibly powerful ones to boot.
10:28Number ten then expanded on that point.
10:30I am a prototype and I wish to test myself against those that will soon succeed me.
10:40A prototype powerful enough to get a number!
10:44At full muster, we estimate the defense force is capable of simultaneously neutralizing up to five identified class kaiju.
10:52In any scenario involving kaiju of fortitude 9.5 or up, that number is going to be even lower.
10:58If we consider the possibility that number nine is capable of creating high fortitude kaiju in far greater numbers,
11:05we have no choice but to cooperate across division boundaries.
11:08If we cannot, the nation falls.
11:24A kaiju engineering new species of kaiju?
11:27That seems a bit out of the blue. Is it possible number ten is lying?
11:32We can't rule it out.
11:35However, if you'll take a look at the data we've compiled, you'll see kaiju emerging in greater numbers,
11:41many of them previously unseen breeds. Annual average fortitude has increased from 2.6 to 4.8.
11:47That all corroborates this new intel.
11:50As you're all aware, our understanding of the science behind kaiju emergence is still in its infancy.
11:55But at this time, the best supported theory is that the process is linked to tectonic fault lines.
12:01We believe kaiju formed through the repeated buildup and release of energy in the Earth's crust,
12:05affecting nearby mineral and biological matter.
12:08And by manipulating this process, kaiju number nine can control its outcome.
12:13Leads on its location.
12:15It changes form and moves between multiple bases of operations.
12:18We can't pinpoint it right now, but we can assume that creating multiple identified class kaiju
12:23would require it to capture a vast amount of energy,
12:26which would most likely put it somewhere along the boundary between the Eurasian and Philippine sea plates.
12:33Somewhere deeper than humanity can reach.
12:37That's far too broad of an area to search.
12:40If that's the case, even tracking the thing down could take years.
12:44Are you saying all we can do is sit back and wait for it to make a move?
12:47According to what number ten tells us, number nine can access the memories of humans it's consumed.
12:53We believe that when it took Director General Shinomiya, it gained his knowledge of the Defense
12:58Force's capabilities.
12:59For this reason, we'd like to propose a months-long force-wide initiative.
13:06To implement surprise factors before number nine takes action.
13:10Any takers?
13:12Surprise factors?
13:13Exactly. It knows everything we can hit it with, but it knows nothing about what we've still got waiting in the wings.
13:20The untested. The imperfect. The unpolished gems.
13:24Those with the greatest potential to grow in the little time we have.
13:27The development of the next generation is the key.
13:31And most of all, we need someone to use the secret weapon we've left dormant.
13:36An officer capable of wearing number six.
13:39Numbers weapon six?
13:41The most powerful and most dangerous tool in our arsenal.
13:48The one-time king of Kaiju. Against the upstart on the throne, yes.
13:54Then you found a suitable candidate?
13:57Maybe. A cell sample from one of our rookie officers has shown signs of synchronizing with number six.
14:04No neutralization university record. Average grades on the entrance exam.
14:09Outside of his own division, he's completely unheard of.
14:12The one-time king of Kaiju. And his name?
14:25Iaru! Get down!
14:27Iaru! Get down!
14:31Is Reno Ichikawa.
14:53One of our youngest talents.
14:55And growing incredibly fast.
15:00So our new transfer is a candidate for the number six suit.
15:04Oh, hell.
15:05I guess this is what I get for suddenly becoming important at work, huh?
15:08Right, Toko?
15:10You're on duty, sir.
15:13You could cut me a little slack here.
15:15I just got a ton of responsibility dumped on me.
15:20It'll crush me if I don't get a chance to loosen up.
15:23Well, you still seem to have the composure to casually pluck your nose hairs.
15:28I'm not joking.
15:29It's heavy.
15:33Kaiju number six.
15:36Walking apocalypse with a fortitude of 9.6.
15:39And it came at us with an entourage of Hongju classes in tow.
15:44Truly, the king of Kaiju.
15:50Even though I was still just a student at the time, the terror of that day is burned into my memory.
15:55Under the command of Captain Hikari Shinomiya, a combined force intercepted number six at Odawada.
16:02The first division converged on their location later.
16:04Many lives were lost, but the threat was neutralized.
16:09Its visage etched itself into the hearts of the nation.
16:12Oblivion marching on Odawada through a freak snowstorm.
16:16The image of despair.
16:19And they want us to strap the thing to some kid too young even by booze.
16:24Oh, come on. That monologue was worth a drink.
16:26It was not.
16:30Ichikawa reporting.
16:34They're... they're giving me number six?
16:44So you do know about them.
16:46The numbered Kaiju weapons, I mean.
16:49I've never seen one for myself, but I know that they exist.
16:52I see.
16:53Listen well then.
16:56In the right hands, any one of the numbers weapons has enough power to neutralize a Daikaiju unassisted.
17:02But between the toll they take on the body and the increased frequency of frontline deployment,
17:07they come with a high mortality rate.
17:09Half of the users don't make it out of the force.
17:16It's said that number six is the most dangerous weapon of all, to its target and its wielder.
17:21As a sworn officer of the defense force, this isn't appropriate for me to say, but as a man I feel I have to.
17:29I would encourage you to refuse this offer.
17:32I heard that Kafka accepted.
17:46He'll fight for the defense force as Kaiju number eight.
17:50But then, what happens to the dream he had?
17:53Who's going to save him?
18:10Well, Ichikawa, what'll you do?
18:13We'll only be connecting the arms, but it is still-
18:15Captain Ogata, please start the test.
18:21He's got the right look in his eyes.
18:26Activating numbers weapon six.
18:32Form assimilation, neural synchronization all clear.
18:35You've been just using the arms.
18:45It's like it's sucking all the strength out of me.
18:50Don't give in!
18:52Toko, dear.
18:54Have a stretcher ready.
19:05Don't give in!
19:24Did I?
19:25Is that-
19:35Oh, I see now, sir.
19:43This must be what you've been fighting every day.
19:54Renno!
19:56Renno!
19:57Renno?
19:59Hey, Renno!
20:00You're awake.
20:08That is a relief.
20:11Where am I?
20:12Medbay.
20:13You're safe.
20:15So I guess this means I wasn't able to link up with number six.
20:19Do you see what you're dealing with now?
20:23The terror of being the one to carry a numbered kaiju weapon into battle?
20:27Captain?
20:30You put on a few pieces of that suit and it put you in here.
20:34What happens when you wear the whole thing?
20:37I'm gonna say this just one more time.
20:39So listen.
20:41You should turn it down.
20:43Honestly, I agree.
20:44I've made my choice.
20:48I want to do it.
20:52No hesitation.
20:55That's dangerous.
20:56If this is where his head's at when he takes number six to the front line.
21:02This kid most likely never makes it out of his teen years.
21:09The thing is, I don't think hearing me say that's gonna change his mind.
21:12You get a trial period of one month.
21:18Then I'm sending you out on a mission.
21:20I need to witness this for myself.
21:23So show me that you have what it takes to wear number six on the battlefield.
21:37All of the voices tell you lies
21:48While you're in the shadows Building castles in the sky
21:54Feels like you won't ever find
22:00Something more just hoping for stars to align
22:06But I can see behind your eyes
22:14All your beautiful colors
22:19All of the shades you never knew
22:26You've got a heart full of wonder
22:32And I see magic shining through
22:38Inside of you
22:41Ooh, colors
22:47Ooh, beautiful colors
22:54All your beautiful colors
22:58And our guest today...
23:04Hey, Bullcut!
23:06Since when are you allowed to run a radio show on the bank?

23:10Or unwashed gamer grime here in the studio
23:12That's the last time you ever talk to me like that
23:15Because if you can't say tongue twisters faster than me
23:17I get to take over your show
23:19Where did you come up with that one exactly?
23:21What's wrong, you scared?
23:23Little city center kitties nibble kibble
23:25Beat that
23:25Kafka's many medical mysteries mystify the medical ministry
23:29Go
23:29Kafka's many minimal mysteries...
23:32Oh, what?
23:33Can't do that one?
23:34You good, Captain Narumi
23:35Thanks, everyone
23:37Till next time
