Mission control.
This is Boco.
Joe, can you hear me?
I thought we'd get together next summer at our secret base
and reminisce and stuff.
That we'd be falling over laughing...
You thought so, too, didn't you?
It was our last summer holiday together,
but it was one crazy thing after another from beginning to end.
Joe, I'll do my best.
This time it's our turn to protect him.
Atmospheric pressure. Radioactivity. Clear.
Continuing descent.
There's gas accumulated at the bottom. Be careful.
Is it the same as in Indonesia?
No. It's bigger here.
Don't touch them yet.
The aim of this exploration is to work out how to collect them.
I know.
Everyone, be careful not to touch.
- Roger. - Roger.
We've landed.
Commencing close-up investigation.
What? What's happened?
What's going on? Report!
I don't know! What on earth?
Is this it?
Yes, this is it.
A bit shabby, isn't it?
It's used, but still a fine machine.
Can it reach over long distances?
Of course.
I know. Let's set up an antenna on the top of that tree.
I didn't know you could climb trees, Junichi.
You're the one who's good at climbing.
So, as usual, I've got to do it.
Help me, will you, Boco?
Okay.
It's a little pricey, as I thought.
It was 2.5 million yen when it was launched.
- You kidding? - It's a bargain.
Sounds like it.
The Apollo Program's awesome!
Cool. I'd love to go to the moon base.
What's on the moon?
Resources and stuff, right?
Did you know that the Apollo Program is a conspiracy?
Oh, Junichi's being a know-it-all again.
You read Monthly Mu too much.
It's been 20 years since the Apollo Program
switched to "moon resource development."
Resources from the moon?
It'll use up more energy to bring them back to the earth.
The only possible explanation is that there's a military conspiracy...
Yeah, yeah. Apollo is a big lie.
So are Halley's Comet and the Yoshinogari site too.
No, Halley's Comet and the Yoshinogari site discoveries are true.
Junichi, you totally...
Totally what?
Totally have no sense of humor.
But I can ride a bike.
If you're in the sixth grade and still can't, well...
You gotta learn how to ride.
I'm seriously gonna practice hard.
I'll go with you when you practice.
It's not much, is it?
I bought Mu, Wonderlife, and Maya.
They're all the same, aren't they?
Amateurs.
But what can we do?
I can't get any more pocket money this month.
That excuse about buying reference books is wearing thin, I suppose.
How about selling the old issues of Mu?
What? You might as well tell me to die.
How much more do we need?
Let's see.
8,400 yen.
We can save it by next month.
Summer will be over by then!
We can't spend money we don't have.
And I won't sell my old Mu.
Wait a sec!
You think I don't have any?
You don't usually, do you?
We'll even get some change back.
No way! How?
How did you manage this?
I robbed a bank.
- No. - I'm joking, silly.
But now we can buy it, right?
Yeah.
You're awesome, Joe!
Then let's go and buy it tomorrow!
Yeah.
So, even after Boco moves--
We can talk any time! Can't we? You said we could, didn't you, Junichi?
Yes. Let's set up as big an antenna as possible.
What's that? You need to pee?
Don't wet yourself!
But it was you who did that.
When we were in first grade, you had a fight in the schoolyard--
No, it wasn't me!
Good grief.
Actually...
What, you do need to pee?
Have you ever heard the word "delicacy"?
Delivery? You mean pizza?
For heaven's sake...
What?
So, what time shall we meet tomorrow?
- Hey! - That was quick!
You finished?
Could you come and have a look?
What should we do?
Leave it. This pond is quite deep.
But if we leave it--
If we fall and get stuck, we'll drown.
Unfortunately, I think Joe is right.
What the hell are you doing, Boco?
Don't! Come back!
It's dangerous!
Hey! It's deep there!
You idiot!
Boco!
You jumped in the deep end as usual.
Thanks.
Okay, let's go back.
All right, if we have to...
It's huge.
This is...
Shall we take it to the museum?
Huh? Why?
- This could be a new species. - Seriously?
Wait, new species? What do you mean?
It means it hasn't been discovered before.
But this one just got free, so...
See ya.
What?
It smells.
Like the toilet behind the gym.
Really?
Hey, Junichi, how about your pee?
Oh, I forgot.
It's so smelly...
You stink like a toilet now too!
What are you doing?
See ya.
Bye!
See you tomorrow, then.
When will it start?
- What? - Your summer prep course.
The week after next, I think.
So we can muck around for only ten more days or so.
We can play again when the course is over.
Really?
Yeah, we can.
You know... Just tell me, right?
Huh?
If anyone bullies you at your new private school,
I'll smash their face in.
No, thanks. I can take care of myself.
What? What's wrong with you?
It's okay. I don't need your help.
Here we go!
Stop! Stop it!
Come on!
That's dangerous!
Here we go!
See ya.
See ya later.
I'm home!
There were about 350 people living in the village,
most of whom are still missing.
The US Army stationed in the Philippines is continuing its search.
It's already been 48 hours since the US Army search party arrived.
Earlier, at the local time--
A color for each person.
Parque.
Lame.
In a jungle two kilometers from the village...
I'm home.
Hi, Mom.
- Have you seen the commercial? - What?
My ad.
They said the broadcast would start today.
I haven't.
I see.
Hey, what on earth is this? Mud all over your clothes!
Good grief. How did you manage to do this?
You were with those kids again, weren't you?
When you go to junior high, you won't see them anymore.
It'd be wise to spend your time on more meaningful things.
It's meaningful to me.
You may think you'll be friends forever, but you're just kidding yourself.
It's different in reality.
However close you are, friendship tends to fall apart with the slightest problem.
Your prep course will start soon, so make sure you prepare for it.
"I go to the prep course. They go to the video game arcade."
"A color for each person."
That's how it is in the end.
Just so lame.
The way the three villages were destroyed in the last two days is very similar.
-The most puzzling thing... - Damn, burned it again.
It'll be ready in a sec, Dad.
...is that the villages are 200 km apart from each other.
The mystery is only deepening.
Here we go.
The many houses behind me...
Jun, do you want ice cream?
- ...have all been destroyed... - I bought the one you like.
Yes, Mom.
...this scar.
Please take a look.
You can see a distinct scar as if a sharp knife ripped through there.
The local media reports that many have seen a flock of huge flying creatures.
Flying creatures?
Even if that were the case, it is very doubtful
that a claw or fang of a creature could leave such a scar...
What's wrong?
Something flashed just now.
What could that be?
At last...
Yeah.
The finest machine.
The more I look at it, the more I'm captivated.
Stop gawking! Let's go.
Here we go!
Come on. Hurry up!
Let's go in!
Okay. I'm coming.
What do you want?
Good afternoon, everybody!
It's too hot today, isn't it?
By the way, you lot,
have you paid your tax yet?
What? Tax?
The US-Japan Security Treaty.
You know it, right?
It says, "If you are in danger, we'll protect you."
- What's he talking about? - No idea.
Is he trying to get us into some religion?
So, you'll contribute, yes?
Huh?
Contribute what?
"Contribute what," he says.
They are as stupid as I thought.
Because they only eat rice?
Their brains have been deprived of nutrition for a thousand years?
Come now. Don't be rude to the Japanese people.
But it's so funny!
What the hell are you on about?
Get out of our way!
Are you from the tax office?
You don't look like it.
Huh?
Well, let's talk, shall we?
What the hell?
Can you not touch me?
Get your freakin' hands off!
Let me go!
Listen, you monkeys. Don't argue. Just give us all your money.
Behave, and I'll beat you half to death. If not, I'll beat you fully to death.
We don't have any money.
Yeah?
Joe!
Oh?
Give it back!
Gimme!
That's ours! Stop playing!
Hiding your income is a serious crime.
Give it back! Please!
Don't fuckin' touch...
That's additional tax.
Cut it out, fat bastard!
Ouch!
You puny monkey!
You fuckin' pig!
I'll beat you all to death!
They really did us over.
It's no big deal.
Do you want some Mercurochrome?
How about you, Boco?
What's the matter?
Does something hurt?
Let's get it back.
Huh?
I understand this one.
It's a joke, isn't it?
Huh? It is a joke, isn't it?
Are you being serious, Boco?
That money?
It took us a whole year to save up.
Let's analyze the situation.
To fight those thugs--
No! I can't stand it! I won't stand it!
Well, I can't stand it either, but--
It'd mean we could talk wherever we are.
That's why we decided to buy a receiver.
You've made up your mind, then?
Yeah.
Right.
Wait a minute.
If we're going to do this, we need a plan.
HOW TO DEFEAT BRODY
There's quite a few of them!
Isn't the First Interceptor Squadron stopping them?
They'll reach land at this rate!
What's the situation?
This is important information for all citizens...
Is it reliable information?
Yeah.
That fat pig is called Brody and seems to be notorious around here.
Brody...
Please evacuate to your nearest designated emergency shelter immediately.
If you don't know where your designated emergency shelter is,
call the municipal...
What's going on?
In that arcade.
When you evacuate...
Will they be there?
They must be.
Okay. Are you ready?
Yeah. All ready.
Let's go.
Damn it!
Shit!
Pisses me off.
Hey, Brody!
Huh?
"Brody"?
Looks like that's what they call him.
Wow, you're a celeb, aren't you?
Maybe I collected too much tax from everyone?
Did you hear us, you asshole?!
How can I help you?
Would you like to pay more tax?
Or would you prefer getting an additional-tax beating again?
Give our money back!
You fuckin' bastard!
Such a crime is unforgivable! Who raised you?
Listen, monkeys, I won't stop even if you cry and beg.
Junichi!
Yes!
What on earth is that?
An earthquake?
What's that?
Is that a fire?
Looks like an explosion.
They're F-15 Eagles.
The ones deployed at the base.
Flying low with afterburners fully open.
Fully equipped with Sidewinders and Sparrows...
Can it be a war?
Approaching destination. Starting search for the enemy.
Eight of them have a wingspan of over ten meters.
There are about 20 smaller ones with a five-meter wingspan.
- Target the big ones. - Roger.
There they are.
They're eating people!
Locked onto target. Using the 20-millimeter.
- Watch the line of fire. - Roger.
What?!
No way.
Both Eagles went down. How?
What the hell are they?
Birds?
But what is that light?
I want to say they're Aura Battlers, but they are probably thunderbirds.
- Huh? - Huh?
It's a bird from the legends of Native Americans.
A long, curved beak, eyes blazing like fire.
And it can hit anything at will with its thunder.
There have been many articles about recent sightings,
but I never imagined they'd attack Tokyo.
Articles?
You're bringing up those weird books now?
"Weird"? I'm offended.
What happened? Respond! Marcus! Jeremy!
Hey!
Lost the signal of both aircraft.
Cannot confirm bailout. Unknown whether dead or alive.
Dispatch all aircraft.
Yes, sir.
Where's that Foundation agent?
Unable to make contact.
They bring nothing but trouble.
General!
What's that? It'd better be good news.
Well...
Continue.
The fleet deployed off the shore of Yokosuka
has engaged a supersized flying creature.
One carrier and three destroyers have suffered major damage.
What the hell?
What's happening? How many of them?
Haven't gotten details yet.
Where's that agent and his support scientist?
They headed for the scene in the helicopter,
but I heard the fighting's so fierce they can't get near.
Apparently, in New Guinea, they suddenly started to hatch.
Aren't you worried?
The research party was an unfortunate accident.
The team took too long to contain what was found.
They can't get here, can they?
Come on. Think as a scientist.
Sorry.
It all started happening suddenly.
We've already taken that possibility into account.
That's why we're analyzing them.
Commander Sasaki.
How's it going, Major Enatsu?
About 30 giant flying creatures continue to attack Shinjuku.
The fighting between the creatures and the US fighters
has caused fires in many places in and around West Shinjuku.
Due to the difficulty of firefighting during combat,
the fire department has requested help from the Chemical Protection Unit.
At 22:00, the government held an emergency cabinet meeting
to discuss if the Ground, Maritime, and Air Self-Defense forces can be deployed.
All troops are ordered to stand ready until further order. End of report.
Do you want one?
Thank you, sir. But I'm fine at the moment.
All right.
Currently, another entity is approaching west Shinjuku.
It's believed to be the same species.
In this combat, use of missiles has been authorized.
Another entity? Isn't there more information?
We're collecting info now.
Oh! Just down there...
What is it?
No, it was my mistake.
Approaching destination. All aircraft commence attack.
Good, it works!
The other one's rapidly approaching the combat area!
We'll deep-fry it too.
Fan out!
What's that?
What happened?
The creature that flew in shot down three of our planes!
It's huge. Much bigger than the others!
Keep it at bay until reinforcements arrive!
Roger.
Concentrate all fire on the big one!
Is a thunderbird that huge?
The legend will be rewritten.
If that thing comes this way, we're in trouble.
Shouldn't we get out of here?
Let's go home.
Come on, Doug!
Shut up!
That's the world's best air force.
We're gonna win!
The Eagles...
Air-superiority fighters like the F-15
are probably not suited to this kind of combat.
The F-15 is too expensive, considering its old-fashioned design.
So perhaps they should have deployed the F-16 instead--
Hey! Have you all forgotten something?
Before I go home, I'll do you over.
Then I'll feel better.
What? You so scared of me?
Jump!
This way!
All shot down?
All the Eagles?
Message to the Pacific Rim Joint Headquarters.
From Misawa, Okinawa, and Guam.
The Pacific Fleet deployed at sea too.
Ask for all the aircraft they have to be deployed.
Yes, sir.
How about the Japanese forces?
Washington is coordinating with the Japanese government,
but it's strange.
Is that your political opinion?
No, sir. I'm sorry, sir.
Can't rely on them, then.
Another flying object over Sagami Bay!
What is it now?
I don't know. It's heading here.
- Hurry with the reinforcements! - Yes, sir!
What the hell is that thing?
Like I said, I'm certain it's a thunderbird!
I can still hear that noise!
What the hell? Another one!
Could this be the start of even more paranormal activity?
Come on. Let's get outta here!
Huh? Hey, Boco!
A turtle?
Shit! Boco, Junichi, run!
- Yes! - Yeah!
What are you doing, Boco?
They're still there!
Hurry up!
It's coming!
Quick!
Hey, wait! Don't leave me!
- Can you stand? - Hey, wait for me!
Damn it!
- You weigh a ton! - It's coming again!
That's not the turtle from the pond, is it?
It's far too big.
Uh-oh, he peed himself.
Why did you save him?
But...
We have no choice.
The supersized bird-type creature
and another turtle-like creature are fighting.
The northwestern part of the town has been trampled to ruins.
Can't we get any closer?
This is the closest we can get.
Most of the bird-type creatures
seem to have been destroyed by that turtle-like creature,
which appeared from Sagami Bay and flew in at high speed.
Can a living creature fly at sonic speed?
Well, I don't know, sir.
What is it called? The one the Japanese love.
You know, the ones in the monster films.
You mean Kaiju?
That's it.
Those Kaijus have suddenly appeared and are causing havoc under our noses.
Did they teach you how to fight these ridiculous creatures at the Academy?
Okay, that's enough.
When will the reinforcements arrive?
They'll arrive at their destination in about ten minutes.
MILK CARAMEL
Excuse me, sir.
What's the situation? Any development?
The flying creatures that devastated Shinjuku
have moved in the direction of Tachikawa.
Apparently, they are fighting with another huge creature, which suddenly appeared.
What happened to the US Forces?
One carrier and three destroyers from Yokosuka suffered major damage.
The Air Force Interceptor Squadrons were shot down. Both waves.
At the moment, the air reinforcements from the Pacific Fleet
and Okinawa Base seem to be on the way.
That's a massive cost.
Has the government ordered us out?
It's still under discussion.
I see.
Ouch, that's hot!
It's so far away, but still so hot!
No.
We can't stay here!
We've gotta run! Quickly!
That's the American reinforcements.
What on earth? Is that turtle?
Gamera.
Huh?
What the hell? Don't make us jump!
Maybe he's gone.
He's got a tough body, but he sure is mentally weak.
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
Who the heck are you?
We haven't done anything wrong!
I'm sorry to have scared you!
Could I ask you to tell me something?
Tell you what?
About that gigantic bird that attacked you. Gyaos.
Gyaos?
