00:17.750 --> 00:19.410
<i>She can hit them?</i>

00:19.410 --> 00:20.590
<i>From Tachikawa?</i>

Mina Ashiro!

01:11.700 --> 01:13.430
<i>Next round, loaded!</i>

01:19.770 --> 01:21.680
Incredible.

01:21.680 --> 01:24.420
She's more powerful than Narumi 
against the large ones.

01:24.660 --> 01:28.780
She's the only person in Japan...
no, the entire world,

01:28.780 --> 01:32.600
who has that much firepower
at her disposal.

01:35.040 --> 01:38.440
Only one target left in the Ooizumi area.

01:38.440 --> 01:42.290
Only one more shot before barrel 
erosion reaches stage two!

01:42.290 --> 01:43.370
It's fine.

01:52.890 --> 01:55.470

Heading inside! Let's clean this place up!

02:24.210 --> 02:26.160
Wow! Wow!

02:28.610 --> 02:31.770
Well? Did you see that, Kaiju?!

02:31.770 --> 02:36.750
This is the power of Captain Kafka's 
vice-captain, Mina Ashiro!

02:36.750 --> 02:38.080
<i>Captain Kafka?</i>

02:38.080 --> 02:40.010

of the civilians into the shelter!</i>

02:43.330 --> 02:44.400

02:46.120 --> 02:50.210
Alpha area, Delta area,
 and the Ooizumi area are all clear!

02:50.210 --> 02:53.450
We're getting reports of successful 
clears from all over the city!

02:53.450 --> 02:55.500
We can keep this up...

02:55.880 --> 02:56.850
No.

03:00.370 --> 03:01.580
Not yet.

03:01.580 --> 03:06.100
No. 9's disaster isn't 
going to end this easily.

03:06.400 --> 03:07.860
And something's not right.

03:08.170 --> 03:12.160
Are they really trying to hit 
humanity's critical facilities?

03:12.160 --> 03:15.610
They don't seem that 
focused on destruction...

03:16.050 --> 03:17.110
Yeah.

03:17.110 --> 03:19.440
They're after something else.
 I'm sure of it.

03:22.160 --> 03:25.900
I'm surprised I didn't see No. 8...

03:25.900 --> 03:31.380

reveal most of their pieces.

05:19.250 --> 05:20.730
What's going on?

05:20.730 --> 05:21.550
Hey!

05:22.420 --> 05:24.320

05:26.910 --> 05:28.650
So that's its move.

05:44.380 --> 05:47.640

That's on the order of No. 10...

05:54.900 --> 05:56.140

06:04.730 --> 06:06.190

06:06.970 --> 06:10.050
<i>Massive Kaiju in Tachikawa and Ooizumi as well!</i>

06:10.450 --> 06:14.790
No... they've all got fortitudes above 9.0?

06:14.790 --> 06:16.450
That's enough to get their own numbers!

06:16.740 --> 06:18.500
Attention all officers.

06:18.620 --> 06:19.620
<b>Kaiju No. 11</b>

06:19.060 --> 06:24.420
We will now designate these Kaiju

<b>Kaiju No. 12</b>

Kikoru Shinomiya...

06:27.860 --> 06:29.870

06:30.760 --> 06:35.760
This is much more than the 
eastern divisions can handle...

06:44.050 --> 06:45.560
Everyone, retreat!

06:59.040 --> 07:01.580
We've lost vital signs for six officers!

07:05.980 --> 07:07.580
That's right.

07:07.580 --> 07:11.080
Of course you could dodge that, Kikoru-chan.

07:11.420 --> 07:13.340
<i>So that was its plan.</i>

07:13.650 --> 07:15.690
<i>Tachikawa, where Ashiro is.</i>

07:15.690 --> 07:18.170
<i>Ooizumi, where the First Division's

07:18.170 --> 07:20.840
<i>Hoshina. My idiot student. Me.</i>

07:21.250 --> 07:24.770
<i>Their goal wasn't to attack any facilities.</i>

07:25.070 --> 07:26.770
<i>It was to split us up...</i>

07:27.030 --> 07:29.520
and kill our strongest members!

07:29.520 --> 07:30.770
No!

07:31.120 --> 07:33.920
<i>This is worse than I feared.</i>

07:33.920 --> 07:39.280
<i>A numbered Kaiju normally needs multiple 
captains working together to defeat it.</i>

07:39.720 --> 07:42.990
<i>They can't be defeated alone.</i>

07:42.990 --> 07:48.360
<i>Especially not by a rookie 
who's still in her first year.</i>

07:48.790 --> 07:54.270
<i>I could send Hasegawa, but there aren't 
enough officers here to defend the base...</i>

07:54.270 --> 07:56.040
<i>What do I do?</i>

07:56.700 --> 07:59.050
<i>You listening, idiot student?</i>

07:59.050 --> 08:03.560
I'm sure you're smart enough to realize 
we can't send anyone to back you up.

08:03.840 --> 08:05.810
You defeat that thing.

08:09.310 --> 08:10.780
<i>I've always...</i>

08:11.730 --> 08:15.750
<i>I've always had someone else 
save me when it really mattered.</i>

08:16.610 --> 08:22.910
<i>I've never been the one who defeated 
the really strong enemies.</i>

08:24.240 --> 08:25.460
<i>Idiot teacher.</i>

08:27.330 --> 08:29.800
That's been the plan from the start.

08:32.420 --> 08:34.290
Eighty-four percent?!

08:35.270 --> 08:38.100
At that level, she could easily be a captain.

08:38.100 --> 08:39.540
Now that's impressive.

08:40.200 --> 08:41.060
<i>Let's go.</i>

08:41.060 --> 08:43.390
Now the real fight begins.

08:43.390 --> 08:45.680

08:56.960 --> 08:58.950
Kikoru Shinomiya-chan.

08:58.950 --> 09:00.620
Beginning neutralization.

09:06.610 --> 09:09.040
I'm a little surprised you dodged that!

09:09.310 --> 09:10.800
<i>Don't let her intimidate you!</i>

09:11.330 --> 09:12.950
<i>Go on the offensive!</i>

09:21.850 --> 09:23.230
<i>Number Two!</i>

09:24.470 --> 09:25.450
<i>Number Three!</i>

09:26.090 --> 09:27.540
<i>Number One!</i>

09:28.010 --> 09:29.140
<i>Number Four!</i>

09:29.580 --> 09:31.000
<i>Number Five!</i>

09:31.600 --> 09:32.780
<i>I'm scared...</i>

09:32.780 --> 09:34.460
<i>One slip and I'm dead!</i>

09:35.060 --> 09:38.320
<i>But I'll keep pushing forward!</i>

09:40.660 --> 09:42.080
Amazing...

09:42.390 --> 09:46.830
She's stronger than anyone else 
has ever been in their first year.

09:47.120 --> 09:51.340
Her talent surpasses Isao, 
Hikari, and even Narumi.

09:51.650 --> 09:52.630
Yes.

09:53.030 --> 09:55.370
Officer Shinomiya will, without doubt,

09:55.370 --> 09:59.400
be one of the most important members of 
the Defense Force in the near future!

10:00.260 --> 10:02.050
<i>But still...</i>

10:21.880 --> 10:24.160
Full power shields!

10:34.460 --> 10:36.260
<i>She's beating me...</i>

10:37.710 --> 10:39.330
<i>She's penetrated the shields!</i>

10:39.330 --> 10:41.490
<i>Damage to ribs and left lung!</i>

10:52.500 --> 10:54.490
You're wasting your time, Kikoru-chan.

10:56.100 --> 10:59.730
That tiny axe and your weak strength...

11:04.000 --> 11:07.240
can't even scratch me.

11:07.540 --> 11:10.000
<i>She doesn't just know about Shinomiya-kun.</i>

11:10.720 --> 11:12.680
<i>She resembles her too.</i>

11:12.680 --> 11:13.950
<i>This is...</i>

11:28.610 --> 11:30.560
I know how you work.

11:30.560 --> 11:36.830
Your eyes can read the electric signals 
in my body to predict how I move.

11:36.830 --> 11:41.040
But you can't predict the flow of water.

11:49.660 --> 11:52.070
This thing makes me damn mad...

11:57.320 --> 12:01.950
<i>I never thought I'd see somebody 
beat me in a battle with blades.</i>

12:04.190 --> 12:06.750
A Kaiju ultra-specialized 
in close-range combat.

12:06.750 --> 12:08.540
Just like Vice-Captain Hoshina,

12:08.540 --> 12:11.640
it's laser-focused on killing
 the thing in front of it!

12:11.930 --> 12:16.940
It's like it was created just 
to fight the vice-captain!

12:17.430 --> 12:19.810
<i>That's right, Okonogi-kun.</i>

12:20.570 --> 12:25.860
Animals. Insects. Bacteria. Viruses. Kaiju.

12:26.320 --> 12:31.720
Humanity has always learned to 
defeat its foes by studying them.

12:32.320 --> 12:38.670
And perhaps, for the first time in history, 
someone has studied to defeat us.

12:40.670 --> 12:42.220
These things...

12:43.780 --> 12:49.960
were designed simply to 
destroy the Defense Force.

13:06.740 --> 13:08.310

13:09.560 --> 13:13.620

13:10.270 --> 13:12.150
Um, coming through...

13:14.230 --> 13:17.360

13:17.980 --> 13:18.950
Yeah.

13:19.290 --> 13:20.510
That's great.

13:21.640 --> 13:23.080

<i>Areas designated for evacuation 
are Ooizumi, Chofu, Tachikawa...</i>

13:33.020 --> 13:35.710

some kind of mistake.

13:35.720 --> 13:38.140

13:38.140 --> 13:39.910

13:41.330 --> 13:42.800
Really?

13:45.390 --> 13:48.340
If this is true, we're doomed!

13:48.340 --> 13:50.550

14:07.990 --> 14:09.870

<i>Any agents who are still standing, 
take the wounded and get out of there!</i>

14:34.980 --> 14:38.140
The surrounding three kilometers
 are now an "approach with caution" zone.

14:38.140 --> 14:42.010
If your unleashed combat power 
is below 60%, stay away!

14:54.560 --> 14:57.520
Keep going! It's safe inside!

14:57.520 --> 14:59.910
Bullshit! Of course it's not safe inside!

14:59.910 --> 15:01.030
Just keep moving!

15:01.030 --> 15:02.270
It's over!

15:02.270 --> 15:03.940
No cutting in line!

15:03.940 --> 15:05.350

15:10.680 --> 15:13.610
Th-Thank you!

15:19.080 --> 15:20.330
It's okay.

15:24.070 --> 15:26.900
Nobody can beat the Defense Force!

15:27.880 --> 15:29.940
Oh my...

15:29.940 --> 15:33.000
The Japanese Defense Force is super-strong!

15:33.000 --> 15:35.510
They'll beat those Kaiju in no time!

15:36.070 --> 15:39.640
Let's see who can be the cooler

17:46.010 --> 17:49.390
<i>Unleashed combat power, 73%!</i>

18:05.860 --> 18:07.480
<i>I wanted to get stronger...</i>

18:09.210 --> 18:10.770
<i>Become a captain...</i>

18:11.550 --> 18:12.760
<i>Get him...</i>

18:13.510 --> 18:15.630
<i>Get Captain Narumi to notice me...</i>

18:25.380 --> 18:28.230
As a platoon leader of the First Division.

18:29.560 --> 18:31.810
As one of his men...

18:32.610 --> 18:35.270
Being trusted with the front lines...

18:36.810 --> 18:39.060
is what makes me proudest!

18:50.880 --> 18:52.740
<i>I can't win this fight.</i>

18:54.550 --> 18:58.540
<i>But I know he can.</i>

19:00.210 --> 19:02.720
<i>So as a platoon leader...</i>

19:08.250 --> 19:10.920
<i>There's only one thing I can do.</i>

19:15.260 --> 19:17.920
I know this won't kill you, right?

19:18.260 --> 19:21.270
If you want my life, you can have it!

19:21.710 --> 19:27.000
<i>That's to buy every second I can... 
learn everything I can...</i>

19:28.800 --> 19:32.910
<i>And pass the baton to Captain Narumi!</i>

20:01.790 --> 20:05.570
<i>No... I can't be thinking like this...</i>

20:07.840 --> 20:10.940
<i>I'm a platoon leader of the First Division.</i>

20:12.240 --> 20:15.670
<i>It's my responsibility to give 
my life to protect the country.</i>

20:17.220 --> 20:21.300
<i>I can't be thinking like this...</i>

20:24.140 --> 20:25.900
<i>I know that, but...</i>

20:29.240 --> 20:31.460
I don't want to die...

20:59.590 --> 21:02.520
Why are you here?

21:03.520 --> 21:06.640
I'm sorry, Platoon Leader Shinonome.

21:06.640 --> 21:09.480
My orders were to stay in the rear.

21:13.250 --> 21:14.640
I'm not following them.

21:18.760 --> 21:21.020
No... Hibino...

21:21.630 --> 21:25.960
We can't lose you here...

21:26.530 --> 21:27.770
Get back...

21:27.770 --> 21:29.950
Thank you for your concern,

21:35.190 --> 21:36.530
but don't worry.

21:37.060 --> 21:38.360
I'm not going to lose.

21:39.500 --> 21:43.420
I'll take care of him.

21:47.340 --> 21:49.820
<i>Kafka Hibino... No.</i>

21:50.750 --> 21:52.190
Kaiju No. 8.

21:54.210 --> 21:55.510
Joining the fight.
