00:00Previously on Kaiju Number 8, I'm Reno Ichikawa.
00:04On my way to joining the Japanese Defense Force, I met Kafka Hibina,
00:08a senior co-worker at my part-time job, chasing the same dream.
00:13He'd given up on that dream once before, but he was ready to give it another try,
00:17when suddenly, he was transformed into the monstrously powerful Kaiju Number 8.
00:22But even as the Defense Force declared him Public Enemy Number 1 and tried to hunt him down,
00:32he concealed his new identity and took their entrance exam.
00:35And after a lot of hard fights and near misses, we were both able to join.
00:41As of this moment, you are no longer a cadet, but a full-fledged Defense Force officer.
00:46I swear to give myself, body, and soul to the mission.
00:50Through grueling training and deadly battles, Kafka proved his worth as part of the 3rd Division.
00:55One day, his secret was exposed.
00:58Kaiju Number 8 revealed himself to save us, and we did all we could to repay him.
01:04In the end, the Defense Force chose not to execute him, but as of this moment, he remains in custody.
01:10I am not Kaiju Number 8. My name is Kafka Hibina.
01:15The rest of us have just been redeployed with other divisions,
01:18and we all have faith our comrade will be released one day.
01:22But for now, here's a story set during our time in the 3rd Division,
01:27on one of our rare days off.
01:29Are you going to be okay, sir?
01:42Are you going to be okay, sir?
01:42Surely you knew if you kept gorging yourself, it would make you sick.
01:57I was stressed eating because of the track and field meat we have this weekend.
02:00That's all?
02:01Now your digestive system's stressed too. Are you happy?
02:05Help me, bro.
02:07Alright, fine. I bought you a few things to try here. Let's start with water.
02:12Oh!
02:21You'd better not be fantasizing about some ill-advised Kaiju stomach remedy right now.
02:26I wish you could enjoy this nice weather, sir.
02:46But you have no one to blame but yourself.
02:48It's the perfect day to be off-duty.
02:50Oh, hey! You and Reno have the day off tomorrow, huh?
02:56Yup. You too?
02:58Looks like most of our class is free for once.
03:00You're right.
03:01There's this place I've been dying to go!
03:03Oh, really? Tell me!
03:04I think it's quite now.
03:05How about we just go?
03:07Gonna ask someone to go with you, old dude?
03:09No way! Why?
03:11So Vice Captain Hoshina is off too?
03:13Don't see that very often.
03:16Anyway, nothing to do but enjoy myself.
03:18Better get to it.
03:20I'm gonna make it a good one.
03:41I started training before I even realized it.
03:43All I've been doing is working out lately.
03:45What are you even supposed to do with a day off?
03:50I wonder how everyone else is spending their time.
03:56Huh?
03:57You gotta be kidding!
04:07You don't know how to spend your days off!
04:09You're still young, aren't you?
04:11Have some fun!
04:12You're on your own today.
04:13But I'll teach you how to party as soon as I get the chance.
04:16Thank you?
04:18So, that means you've got something going on today as well, Vice Captain?
04:25That's right.
04:26And I'd better be on my way.
04:28Uh...
04:29Reno?
04:35What are you doing?
04:38Nothing much.
04:39What's that?
04:40A toolbox.
04:41I was about to tune up my ride.
04:43Is everything cool with you, bro?
04:44The Vice Captain didn't need anything, did he?
04:47No.
04:48But it did seem like he had something important to take care of.
04:52Yeah, he's a mysterious dude.
04:53Could be anything.
04:55He was in a rush.
04:56Maybe he's meeting someone?
04:58A lady?
04:59Uh, no.
05:00It didn't feel like that.
05:01I wonder what she's like.
05:03Think she's hot?
05:04You're not listening.
05:05It's strange, though.
05:07He seemed real serious.
05:09I know.
05:10He must be doing extra training while he has some spare time.
05:13That could be the secret to his strength, if I'm guessing.
05:16Nope.
05:16He's still a man with needs, right?
05:18I'll give you all the love you want.
05:21I think that's just your fantasy, actually.
05:23Nothing personal, but I don't think he's the kind of guy who...
05:26Come on!
05:27The man can fall in love if he wants to!
05:29I don't disagree in theory, but I doubt that's what's going on here.
05:34Not today, at least.
05:35You want to bet on it?
05:36The loser pays for dinner.
05:38Huh?
05:39Iharu, I'm starting to think this is a bad idea.
06:04Yeah, well, it's the only way to settle the bet.
06:07Can we drop that?
06:09We could get in serious trouble for telling the vice-captain like this.
06:12What happens if he spots us?
06:14He won't, because we're wearing helmets!
06:16Live a little, man!
06:18Yeah, but...
06:19You're doing anything anyway.
06:21Consider this a lesson in how to have fun!
06:24Busted.
06:24Yeah, look!
06:26Huh?
06:27He's going into the parking lot!
06:34This is my favorite rat!
06:36Hey, Captain Ashiro.
06:44Mission complete.
06:46I have obtained the top-quality, limited-run dried squid snacks you requested.
06:53Splendid work, as always.
06:55I thank you, and the nation thanks you.
06:58Dried squid?
07:00That's so lame!
07:01I wanted something juicy!
07:03Then again, working with Captain Ashiro is not bad.
07:05I'd buy her some squid!
07:08Well, any way you slice it, you lost the bet.
07:11He wasn't going to see his girlfriend.
07:13Sure, but...
07:15I didn't say girlfriend, I said lady.
07:17So I'm the winner, just be-
07:19Lady is irrelevant!
07:20She's his boss!
07:21That doesn't count!
07:22Hell yeah!
07:23I'm so sorry I troubled you.
07:25I know you don't get that much time off.
07:27But the item was a high-priority target for me.
07:30No big deal.
07:31It was on the way to where I'm headed, and it only took a second.
07:34Anyway, I'll drop it off later.
07:35Bye.
07:36Bye.
07:36Bye.
07:42All right, then.
07:44I can't say I'm excited for this, but it's time.
07:52Does that mean this was just a pit stop?
07:55Lucky you.
07:56Guess the bet hasn't been settled yet.
07:58Come on, let's tail him.
07:59Here!
08:00Now, here!
08:01I don't know why they won't stop.
08:09I don't know why they won't stop.
08:10Something wrong?
08:17Whoa, where'd you come from?
08:18Funny story.
08:20We got a reservation for lunch, but it looks like we're gonna miss it.
08:23I can't seem to get a taxi for some reason.
08:26Huh.
08:27I'll take you.
08:27Oh no, we couldn't ask you to do that for us.
08:31It's fine.
08:32Hop in.
08:33Really?
08:34We appreciate it.
08:35We owe you one, sir.
08:37Look at this.
08:39Thank you, guys, Captain.
08:50You all have fun in there.
08:55Thanks, Captain.
08:56It's jump scare.
09:05What do you think of this one here?
09:07The design is cool, right?
09:09And I think it'd go great with the fire pit.
09:12Yeah.
09:12They should give the camp some atmosphere.
09:14I'd say it's a wasteful purchase.
09:16It doesn't seem durable or functional.
09:19Also, you can't carry it in a backpack if you need to.
09:22Huh?
09:23You have to be prepared for any circumstances.
09:26What if we need to transport it for days at a time through an unforgiving environment?
09:30This could be a matter of survival.
09:32Uh, I think you might have misunderstood the concept of a camping trip.
09:37Got a second?
09:52Whoa!
09:53Where did you come from?
09:55Here's a little tip for you.
09:58Buy it used.
09:59You can get an older model for even cheaper.
10:02There's a huge market out there.
10:04Oh, I see.
10:05Nice to know.
10:07Good luck bargain hunting.
10:22Thought he had us.
10:23Can I take your order?
10:24That's her story.
10:25I'm sorry.
10:25Oh, I see.
10:26Oh, I see.
10:27I'm sorry.
10:27No, I see.
10:28Oh, sorry!
10:28I'm sorry!
10:30Oh, oh, I see!
10:33Oh, I see!
10:38Oh, I see!
10:40Oh, I see!
10:41Yeah, I'm so sorry!
10:42Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
11:12wait what this is it bro the end of the mystery what are you two gawking at
11:37you don't have to be that surprised do you minasei and igarashi too what a coincidence
11:45we were all just out getting lunch together and you guys are not gonna believe this
11:51guess who gave us a ride to the restaurant sorry we already know
11:57you've been tailing the vice captain all day long lucky this isn't america
12:07he would get sued for poking into his private life
12:09boys never grow up do they wait where's kafka hibino isn't he off today as well
12:16oh checked on his schedule were you hoping it might run into him
12:21how rude honestly i have to tolerate that man's stench every day i'm glad to finally be free of it
12:28what are you doing not them two
12:32you're tailing the vice captain wow color me surprised i didn't take you for a stalker
12:41i just stumbled upon these buffoons how dare you i could be so vulgar be quiet
12:46i'm assuming nobody noticed you on the way here
12:57i doubt it i mean who's gonna notice little me right
13:01i'm assuming nobody noticed you on the way here
13:08i doubt it i mean who's gonna notice little me right
13:14you think you're funny huh where are the goods
13:19all business huh
13:22he's making a trade that dude's huge
13:31looks right to me
13:38i'll be going on ahead then you know the time and the place better not let everybody
13:44down
13:59huh what the heck did we just witness this is kind of freaking me out
14:04hey hey let's all calm down those big cases in his trunk
14:08they looked like the ones we used to transport equipment
14:12do you think he's selling on the black market
14:16that would be crazy
14:19more and more kaiju have been showing up right
14:22which means more money is needed to fund our defenses
14:25maybe that's what it is
14:27maybe he's selling our old tech to the underworld
14:31in order to find further weapon development
14:33just a theory though
14:35i mean seems unlikely now that i think about it
14:41that would be way out of character for the vice captain
14:43he's doing all this stuff for us
14:45don't you see
14:47cuz he doesn't want us to get our hands dirty
14:49that damn fool
14:51wait i think you're taking my theory a little too seriously
14:54the defense force is a symbol of justice
14:58we'll just have to set them straight ourselves
15:00yeah
15:01you're right
15:02shiomi and venner
15:03don't tell me you're agreeing with them
15:05this conversation is pointless
15:07i know
15:08i'm glad you agree with me
15:09at least someone is talking some sense
15:11if he is actually guilty then he needs to be appropriately punished
15:15but first we have to ascertain the truth of the matter don't you think
15:18never mind
15:19i'm done
15:20wait a sec
15:21he drove off and we weren't looking
15:23hunt him down
15:25no no no
15:28no no
15:40where did he go
15:51where did he go did we miss any suspicious buildings or abandoned warehouses
15:56at this rate he's gonna become a criminal isn't he if he did it then he'd already be a criminal
16:02right although i really doubt that's actually what's happening let's stop bickering we need to
16:12vice captain what a shame you witnessed the handover
16:21what happened why would you do something like that it's wrong you're one of the good guys
16:31it's too late you guys should never have followed me here
16:35we're partners so that means we're all in this thing now
16:43there's no way you let us down so enough already okay just stop it please
16:51oh i'm confused what were you doing
17:11we can't thank you enough for the generosity you've shown us vice captain you're the greatest our
17:16first attraction's a big hit children love the mina ashino sniper experience

19:27today that correct huh he must be lying in his bed right now wait this medicine you just gave
19:33me where did you buy it at the department store while i was acquiring those snacks he had us spotted
19:39right at the start he's truly a dangerous man i am so glad this place has been catching on lately
19:46it helps to bridge the gap between the defense force and the everyday civilians out there
19:50and the people who visit today may well turn into the recruits of tomorrow
19:54fair enough still i would like to be more optimistic i hope that by the time these kids are grown
20:02we won't even need the defense force anymore that's the real goal
