Shin Godzilla (シン・ゴジラ)

We just spotted a pleasure craft

drifting offshore of Haneda.

Recon and intercept. Over.

Roger that.

We've got the vessel in sight.

From here, there's no apparent hull damage.

She's called "The Glory Maru."

Requesting owner information now.

In the meantime, we're going aboard.

We're now on board.

Hello? Anyone here?

There's no one on the flying deck.

No sign of life.

Just some personal effects.

No traces of an incident.

Maybe a fall overboard?

Vessel's vacant. We'll prepare a tow.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hey, stop!

Here's all the info we have so far.

That eruption caused a leak in the Aqua-Line.

As a result, water is pouring onto the auto lanes.

A liaison office has already been set up,

and an emergency order issued.

And where's the PM?

He's arriving in 28 minutes.

We'll need intel. Downstairs.

Right.

First report confirmed at about 8:30 am.

A leak occurred in the Tokyo Aqua-Line tunnel

near the 2.5 kilo marker.

Seawater entered from a fissure...

Update me as you get info.

Right.

...damaged by the flood.

Emergency crews are currently on the scene.

Hamanami Coast Guard efforts are being

stymied by the steam cloud that's in the bay.

The Aqua-Line is still closed both ways,

and safety alerts have been issued throughout the region.

Status report, Mr. Koriyama?

We have a total of five confirmed collisions

in the tunnel so far.

Was it an earthquake that caused the flooding?

We're awaiting the seismic readings.

Could it be related to that strange sea eruption?

We don't know that, not yet at least.

We've got aerials!

An underwater volcanic eruption, maybe?

If so, it's a strange one.

Coast Guard six-nine-one reporting

continued steam eruptions in the bay.

Undersea visibility is currently zero

because of all that churning water.

When the PM arrives, I'm suggesting

a unified initial response.

We'll need to reorganize.

FDMA disaster task force

is currently assembling.

Third Regional Coast Guard HQ

has sealed the bay. As of now, there is

no sea or air access to the area.

A coastal evacuation advisory

has been issued to the public.

Attention! Please evacuate

the premises immediately!

For your safety, please follow police instructions

and evacuate to Kisarazu!

What's happening? Is someone hurt?

This way, and watch your head!

Cool, a slide!

Stay calm.

Heading to first aid.

This place is awesome!

Ow, my feet hurt!

You know, I bet I can sell this footage

to the news.

What was that noise?

C'mon, let's go.

Something's up there.

Please stay calm and seated...

This is bad.

Look, this is starting to freak me out.

Hey, what's that?

What? Wh-Where?

I see it, too.

Sir, the PM's arrived.

We haven't been able to ascertain the cause

of the tunnel rupture yet.

Never mind the details.

How many fatalities have there been?

- None. - Then things

aren't as bad as they could be.

Still, there's a secondary disaster risk.

I've cleared your schedule so that you can attend

an emergency meeting in five minutes, sir.

Well then, let's get there.

Obviously, some type of undersea thermal discharge

has occurred, but do we have any ideas as to its cause?

The meltdown of an unidentified

nuclear submarine perhaps?

There's no way. The bay's too shallow

for a sub so that would be impossible.

We believe the fissure was created by magma steam.

Something that was released by a new undersea volcano.

Um. Excuse me, sir.

While we did initially believe that, further study has shown

the epicenter to be shallow and just steam,

so we're now confident that it's not volcanic activity.

You should have shared that info with me sooner!

Sorry, sir.

Another idea forwarded is a new,

large hydrothermal vent.

Yeah, that must be it.

Come on. A vent directly above the tunnel?

Past geological surveys would have uncovered it years ago.

Well, maybe it was simply overlooked.

The cause... is something on the sea floor.

Something, eh? Like what?

A colossal creature, sir.

There's some footage of it online.

That's absurd. People probably just saw

a big whale spouting.

The sea is boiling.

No living creature could survive those temperatures.

We've been scouring online videos, Prime Minister,

but we've yet to find any conclusive evidence

of the flooding's cause.

Look, time's a wasting here, people.

How about a process of elimination?

I agree. The cause is a new volcano,

or a large thermal vent. It can't be anything else.

Then we need to plan our general response,

ladies and gentleman. Therefore I suggest holding

a cabinet meeting immediately. Prime Minister?

Yes. Good idea.

In that case, let's move to the main conference room.

We have to stay on top of this situation.

Yaguchi.

Listen, you're going to have to toe the line

on their decision. Don't stir things up, okay?

I just think that we should consider every possibility.

You're a rebel. That's good,

but the guy who got you here isn't one.

Got it? Take my advice.

I'm happy to report that all those injured

in the tunnel are receiving care.

In order to prevent any further accidents,

fireboats and helicopters have been mobilized in the bay.

They stand ready to respond. Who's next?

I am. Regarding the Tokyo Bay coastal region,

we're currently at evacuation preparedness level one.

Due to possible debris and ash from the previous incident

and any potential future ones, we're considering

the possibility of grounding all flights out of Haneda.

Please forgive me. I was just handed a correction.

It's been decided to definitely ground all flights

out of Haneda to ensure citizen safety.

No flights will be going in or out until further notice.

In regards to the undersea volcano-induced

flooding of the Aqua-Line Tunnel,

it's fortunate that no toxic gases whatsoever

have been detected thus far.

A team from the Meteorological Agency has been mobilized.

As has a group of experts from the Coast Guard.

And both are now currently on route to conduct

a thorough investigation of the cause.

Everyone. I've been notified that eruption activity

is dying down rapidly!

Huh?

Is it over?

No big deal, I guess.

Sir. With all due respect,

I must reiterate the presence of a large marine creature...

...as a possible cause.

Yaguchi, this is a serious matter. Not some joke.

I agree. This is a ministerial meeting after all.

Don't make a mockery of it.

And with no time frame for restoration,

we can expect...

Sir? There's been another incident.

Turn on the TV.

Sorry! But we have to suspend this meeting!

The TV! Turn it on now!

It's unbelievable! Look at

the size of it! I... and I doubt anyone else...

has ever seen anything like it before!

A few minutes ago, this strange...

Wh-What is that thing?

- A tail? - It appears so.

I guess Yaguchi's "joke"

is no laughing matter after all, huh?

This meeting's adjourned! All cabinet heads, please,

let's assemble in the Prime Minister's office right away!

Eyewitness News chopper just...

So what is this thing?

"Giant Unidentified Lifeform," sir.

That's what we're calling it for now. But, um...

That name, it will more than likely change

since we're currently compiling a list of
