Kaiju No. 8 (怪獣８号)

To CP. This is Alpha Two.

Point One. Nothing out of the ordinary so far.

Alpha Two, this is CP. Continue monitoring the situation.

Emergency kaiju alert.

YOKOHAMA GATE EMERGENCY UNDERGROUND SHELTER

Emergency kaiju alert for Minami, Naka, and Isogo Wards.

All those in the designated zones, please proceed to a shelter immediately.

As for the movements of the epicenter...

The target is moving from Yatobashi to Yamashitacho.

Estimated full length is 60 meters. Fortitude is a little less than 3,5.

- No thermal detection for 3 kilometers. -Roger that.

All crafts, begin shooting. I repeat.

- Begin shooting. -Roger that.

Leading target to TO.

Shoot.

Will the intimidation work?

Which division is coming?

It's Yokohama, so, the Third Division.

Geez, what a mess.

We'll be working overtime for a while.

All right, let's get to work!

Yes, sir.

Members of the Third Division, who successfully subdued the kaiju,

are welcomed by the applause of locals.

The Third Division achieved zero casualties.

- Thanks to them... -Captain Ashiro's here!

How cool!

Let us thank them with applause and cheers.

Hey, don't forget to film the victims!

Oh, sorry.

-Report back to me later! -Yes, sir!

Captain Ashiro!

Our work begins after everything has ended.

No one gives us attention.

No one thanks us either.

But it's our way of battling kaiju,

behind the scenes, away from the spotlight.

KAFKA HIBINO

Kafka! Izumo Tech wants some samples.

Thanks.

It's no good! I can't cut past the grease.

-Bring me the heat chainsaw! -Yes, sir!

Hey, wait a minute! You can't lift that yet!

It's this way! Bring the stretcher.

Don't worry, it's just the surface.

I've done this many times. Don't forget to apply for workers' comp.

Yes, sir!

The Third Division's site is always messy.

It's hard to recognize the organs.

Jesus, look at this.

Will we really finish this week?

Kafka, we're moving you.

-We don't have enough people over there. -Where is it?

The intestines.

-I don't want to! -I already got permission. Let's go!

Sorry about that!

I always hear about it, but is working the intestines that rough?

Think about it. What's inside the intestines?

HOW THE BODY WORKS

The days we work intestines...

you can't eat for days.

I'm so tired!

Those baby pandas were so cute!

How will they grow up?

I can still smell it.

Let's move on to the next topic.

Defense Force Third Division, which successfully subdued the kaiju

that suddenly appeared in the streets of Yokohama.

The leader of that division is Officer Mina Ashiro-san.

At the young age of 27,

she not only became the captain but has already defeated

hundreds of kaiju.

‪SPECIAL FEATURE: ‪ZOOMING IN ON THE THIRD DIVISION

Let's defeat all the kaiju together!

CAPTAIN MINA ASHIRO

Her calm and dignified disposition

makes her one of the most popular captains of the entire Defense Force.

She's rumored to be the next potential Division Commander.

She's definitely an up-and-coming star.

Why am I over here?

Don't think about it!

Cleaning is important work that also helps people!

I have a nice room

and can eat whatever I want.

That's enough, isn't it?

My head hurts.

It's definitely that TV show's fault!

‪MONSTER SWEEPER INC.

Good morning.

Kafka's here! Come this way!

-I'm going to start getting ready! -All right.

-Morning, Kafka. -Hey.

This is Ichikawa-kun. He'll work with us part-time, starting today.

His dream is to join the Defense Force!

That was his dream too, you know?

He's already given up, and he's a veteran here!

This is the worst!

Toku-san,

-how's he supposed to react to that? -Why...

Why did you give up?

I tried my best, you know?

But there are so many talented people.

I hit a wall to my potential.

-You'll understand when you're older... -I won't.

I'll never give up. I'll never understand until the day I die.

Not that I want to.

-Hey, where are you... -I'm getting changed.

Geez.

I thought you two would get along well.

That's unfair!

No matter how I respond to that, I'd be a pathetic loser!

Is it such a bad thing to give up?

All right, let's start.

Team Miike, continue cleaning the bones.

Keep everything intact

-and send it over to Izumo Tech. -Yes, sir!

Team Yoshimura will dismantle the legs. Everything will be discarded.

Yes, sir.

The newbies get the intestines. Come with me.

Yes, sir.

All right! Serves you right!

-Kafka, you're intestines, too. -Me too?

-This is my second day in a row! -You're good at it though.

Dammit, bring it on!

He always stands up to the challenge in the end.

If he had passed, he would've been a great Defense Force member.

Seriously?

He's suffering big time!

Same goes for me.

Hey, is that all you brought to eat?

I don't think I can eat this.

I'm sure.

-Here. -What is it...

Ow!

That's for you. Eat whatever you're able to.
