Kaiju No. 8 (怪獣８号)

Kaiju No. 8.

I picked up strange human-like traits from him.

In addition,

No. 9 can speak and look like a human.

What's going on with kaiju?

Vice-Captain!

I'm going to work hard to contribute!

I'll keep my expectations at 1%.

I want to meet his expectations.

Finally, my first step!

I'll go back to sleep to prepare for tomorrow.

Resting is a part of work, too!

ORIGINAL WORK BY NAOYA MATSUMOTO

Operation Room! What's going on?

Several dozen kaiju have appeared inside the base!

Judging from the situation,

Kaiju are attacking from the sky!

Estimated power is 6,1.

6,3, 6,2, 6,5... All the kaiju are...

A kaiju?

Honju class!

It's Hoshina. Captain Ashiro isn't present.

So, I'll be giving out instructions.

All night security officers, get into combat.

Send out a dispatch to off-duty officers as well.

-Everyone, get prepared for combat. -Roger!

Try to lure them to the training ground.

Don't let a single kaiju escape the base!

No damage reports from the outside.

Could it be...

their target is this base?

What the hell's going on?

The base is a sea of fire!

Wyvern-type Kaiju!

Those are troublesome.

Wyvern-types?

If so, there's something wrong with them!

Place the officers good at shooting in the center.

-Let's lure them and shoot them down. -Roger!

Vice-Captain!

-Kafka, you're safe? - Yes, sir.

-Something bothers me about these kaiju. -Report.

About ten or so wyvern-type kaiju are reported in a year,

and they all share a common trait.

They only act on their own.

But these guys are acting as a group.

Yeah. That means there's only one possibility.

There's a force strong enough to lead these prideful wyvern-types.

Something acting with purpose,

with high intellect.

They have a super powerful leader.

Target found.

I'm hanging up, Kafka.

Are you the strongest one in this base?

This one speaks human, too?

Captain's not here, so I guess it would be me.

I see.

It's decided, then. You'll be my prey.

Estimated fortitude of the honju has been calculated! 8,3!

It's a Daikaiju Class!

-Ikaruga, can you hear me? - Yes, sir!

You take the lead to defeat the yoju.

First priority is civilian harm prevention

-and protecting the main office! - Roger!

I'll take care of the honju.

You dodged it, huh? You've passed.

I have to be the one to take care of this one.

All right.

Now, the annihilation

has officially begun.

The yoju are responding to him?

I knew it. This base was the target.

He's crazy strong, like a meteor!

If I take that attack head-on, it's the end of me.

His exterior's harder than No. 8!

Shoot!

He's unharmed!

Retreat! Shooters, change the bullets to Oscillator Rounds.

Don't shoot the front!

This voice... Is this Hibino?

Aim for the back. This kaiju

is the same type recorded in the Year 03.

-Senpai? -Is that Old Man?

I couldn't reach you. I was worried.

Sorry. I was talking to Vice-Captain.

Forget that. Aim for the back!

They're often attacked when flying, so their frontal skin is tougher.

Their core is in their back.

Their backs have minimal toughness

to maintain their light weight for flight!

Great work, Hibino!

Split in two. Keep them distracted in the front and shoot the back!

Roger!

-Stay back. -I'll take the lead, thanks.

I'll be the bait.

Go around, Haruichi! You owe me one!

As expected of him.

Combat Power, Maximum Release!

The kaiju are working together?

- We can't get behind them! -Same here.

- There was kaiju interception. -What?

What should we do?

If we can't get behind them, how can we shoot their backs?

- There's another way. -Shinomiya?

What is it?

I could...

overtake them from the front...

with my immense power!

TACHIKAWA BASE BASEMENT WEAPONS STORAGE ROOM

A weapon made especially for me?

I thought only captain-ranked officers got them.

That's usually the case.

In light of the situation, we decided to give you one.

The strength and number of kaiju is abnormal this year.

We've decided to add you to the core force of the base,

as someone with the third-highest combat power.

Shinomiya. Starting now, annihilate kaiju as the Number Three,

after the captain and vice-captain.

The power's okay, considering it's a prototype.

If I had any complaints,

it's that it looks too rugged and doesn't suit me.

She crushed it from the front!

All right, kaiju.

Now that I'm on the battleground,

no more playing around.
