After 100,000 years...
A live specimen...
I had the Gene Research Team make this.
This will boost survivability enormously.
What was the name of that bird?
The one that flew higher and faster than anyone else
and opened up a new world.
Jonathan Livingston Seagull?
That's the one.
This is that bird.
What an ugly face.
Just like Aunt Nora.
No.
Why?
This is all wrong.
It's our summer break.
We decided to buy a radio.
We saved up for it.
Joe...
Where's Joe?
Why isn't he here?
This is all wrong!
Isn't it?!
I'll be going now.
I'll use my connections to find a different job.
Wait! Where are you going?
Let go! I have to find a place where I can get a signal.
What about Gamera? You're not gonna save him?
He saved you too!
I know you won't listen, but I'll say it anyway.
Calm down.
The both of them saved us.
Gamera and Joe.
Please.
Help us.
It's over.
There's nothing I--
No!
I don't want anyone else to die!
I'll do anything!
So save him, please!
Give it up.
You'd be dead if it weren't for Joe!
What's wrong with you?!
I'm just a negotiator!
Take my advice.
You should get to safety first.
What about you?
Even if you run now, they won't let you off the hook.
What?
You can't escape them. They can kill you whenever they like.
I have a proposal for you.
Are you negotiating with me?
Gamera is our best defense against the Foundation and the Kaiju.
Are you sure you don't want to save him?
Yeah, exactly!
Gamera is on Boco's side.
He'll do anything to keep Boco safe.
You've seen it too!
Junichi...
Brody...
Boco...
We don't want anyone else to die either.
You're not the only one.
There have been no new sightings of the Kaiju,
the monsters that previously wreaked havoc all over Japan.
The government's handling of the situation has attracted growing criticism.
Most notably, search and rescue operations...
No news coverage of Yonaguni, huh?
We can use one of our squadrons.
Are you crazy?
That's a felony.
Excuse me, sir.
There's someone here to see you, sir.
What has my son gotten himself into?
I'm sorry, but I cannot tell you anything.
But...
I'd take all of my men with me to look for my son if I could.
But I can't.
There is a force beyond our understanding working behind the scenes.
One wrong step, and I'll be court-martialed.
I see.
How is Gamera?
His signal is fading.
It must be about to die.
But the child with the code and the negotiator are still...
Gyaos will find them.
Once he eats those children...
The purification will finally begin.
Well then,
let's discuss the next millennium.
Don't worry. It won't devour everything.
The chosen ones will survive.
The rest isn't that important.
The Eustace Foundation is a global charity organization.
It has strong ties with the UN.
To think they were using the Kaiju to destroy mankind.
Gamera's power and potential should be obvious from the recordings.
He's our best bet if we are to defend Japan against the Kaiju.
But can we even control it?
Besides, it seems to be on its last legs.
What if we utilized Japan's cutting-edge technology
to give Gamera the best medical care?
The third troop will deploy on the hill to the north.
The first and second troops will deploy along the beach.
All units, get in position now.
- Major Enatsu. - Sir?
Aim all turrets towards the sea.
Shouldn't we aim at the turtle, just in case?
No, the sea.
Then we wait for further orders.
All units, turn your turrets seaward.
They invited you, too, Professor Suzuki?
I'd say almost every researcher involved in biochemical weapons defense
has been contacted about this.
They briefed me on the way here, but...
Yes, they briefed me too.
This may be beyond my capabilities.
I didn't think it was possible for a creature like this to exist.
I'm sorry,
but I really don't think we can help.
You haven't even seen his medical chart.
I can't make any promises.
His size poses a significant challenge.
I understand this is a big ask.
Here.
This is orylium.
It seems to be the source of the Kaiju's energy.
Orylium?
It brought a mummified Kaiju back to life.
I don't know how, but I saw it with my own eyes.
Perhaps you can use it.
We have to run a compositional analysis first.
I don't know how long that will take.
We gathered Japan's leading researchers to form the best medical team.
You understand what this means, don't you?
You mustn't let Gamera die, no matter what.
What have you found?
Over 100 broken bones and lacerations,
as well as excessive bleeding.
His skin is too hard for surgical intervention.
We're looking into possible emergency treatments
while we analyze the orylium, which may be our silver bullet.
Good work.
Attention, everyone.
The aim of this top-secret operation is to protect the giant turtle-like creature.
Stay vigilant and be ready to act at the first sign of danger.
We will do everything we can to protect it.
In this operation,
we'll refer to the giant turtle-like creature as "Gamera."
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.
It was so hot.
We were drenched in sweat.
Our hearts never stopped pounding.
We met a man with a weird hairstyle
and a beautiful but despicable woman.
We quarreled
and made a weird friend.
We got on a helicopter
and a humongous ship.
And to cap it all off, we even rode on a rocket!
Wasn't that amazing?
Joe, I'll do my best.
This time it's our turn to protect him.
Well?
Answer me!
You promised!
What about my bike lessons?
You said if someone bullies me, you'd smash their face in!
Right?
Answer me!
Why won't you answer?
Joe...
Come on, Boco.
Boco...
Yeah.
I know.
We placed over 100 contact points on Gamera to monitor him.
We're monitoring pulse, luminance,
contact distance and angle, heat--
Sorry to interrupt,
but can we skip to the conclusion?
All right.
The orylium may be a power device
that generates and amplifies energy with incredible efficiency.
A power device?
The luminescence observed on his skin
is caused by this piece of orylium affecting the orylium within him.
If we can control its effects in some way--
His pulse is weakening.
What about cardiac massage?
It'd take hours just to cut him open!
Wait.
Maybe we can use electric shocks.
Calculate the joules needed for a creature of his size.
Okay.
Gamera...
You mustn't die...
Boco?
The orylium was in some kind of cage.
It glowed and gave off a loud metallic whine when close to Gamera.
Yeah, I remember that too.
Now that you mention it...
What's gotten into them, Mr. Tazaki?
They always act like this when they're onto something.
Yes.
The orylium was inside something like this.
Does this help?
Well,
maybe it's a kind of coil.
It was placed on top of the shell like this.
And then there was a really loud metallic sound.
Sound?
Resonance...
resonance amplification!
Analyze the orylium's natural frequency.
Measure the electrical wave and the sound wave.
Right away.
That was exactly what we needed.
We may be able to save Gamera now.
We did it!
We sure did!
Gamera.
It would appear that Gyaos is on the move.
But these signals...
The cells are dividing too quickly,
but self-propagation will return to normal once it consumes the code.
That said...
I wouldn't call it a gull.
More like an ugly duckling.
In that case,
it can turn into a swan.
Okay, it's done.
Start the current!
Starting now.
It's responding.
Adjust the frequency slowly.
I'll shift it upwards by 1%.
Professor Suzuki, any change in his vital signs?
There's a drastic increase in blood cell production.
It's working, Dr. Matsui!
Amazing.
Does this mean he'll recover?
It's a miracle!
His body is regenerating rapidly.
He'll be back to normal within three to four hours.
Seriously?
We did it, Boco!
Yeah, we did it!
Yeah.
Unidentified object spotted in the sea. It's moving west-northwest.
The signal suggests it may be a giant creature.
It's approaching our fleet!
Here it comes.
A giant creature?
There's still other Kaiju around?
We have permission to engage, right?
I've already informed the prime minister's office.
Go ahead.
Orders from HQ.
The unidentified creature approaching the convoy along the coast
has been classified as a hostile entity.
Use all your firepower to destroy it!
Depending on the outcome of this attack,
we may have to provide cover fire.
All units, load your turrets and standby in your current position.
All missiles hit the target!
Good! Is it dead?
Signal on the sonar!
Target is still moving. It's rapidly approaching our fleet!
What?
Ships one and two are severely damaged!
Ships three and four are lightly damaged.
Attack ongoing.
I don't believe it. It hasn't even been ten minutes!
Ship three has suffered major damage! Ship four is sunk!
What the hell is that?
No way!
That's...
Gyaos!
Didn't Gamera kill it?
It's so much bigger than last time!
Listen up.
Don't let it get any closer to Gamera.
Our tanks have to stop it.
All units, prepare to attack! Aim at the creature moving in the bay!
Fire!
Incoming! Take evasive action!
All units, begin diversionary tactics!
Concentrate fire on a single point!
Attack incoming! Evade!
Continue the diversion! Aim at a different point!
Incoming!
Hold on!
That reaction...
That must be its weak point.
Concentrate fire on the back of its head and the base of its neck!
It's working!
We can win this!
Target is retreating!
That's a great strategy.
Maybe we can beat it after all!
All units, fan out!
It'll breach the line of defense!
I'll distract him.
Get all units to regroup!
Sir?
I can't let any more of my men die.
We're in danger too. We should retreat.
But...
We have to retreat in order to regroup.
Very well. Let's retreat.
What?
What? We're giving up after coming this far?
I see.
They told us to retreat.
If only we had another 30 minutes...
Sir, the helicopter has arrived.
I'll wait until everyone has evacuated.
But...
I can't just abandon them!
Exactly!
Gamera just needs a little more time!
Mr. Tazaki, I entrust the children to you.
Get them to safety immediately.
Hey, where'd he go?
I'll protect Gamera!
A boy is heading toward the lighthouse at Uganzaki!
That brat...
What the hell is he thinking?
What's wrong?
He's trying to be a decoy!
What?
Hey, wait!
Damn it!
That idiot!
Over here!
Don't go near Gamera!
What's going on?
Look at his vitals. Blood flow, pulse, body temperature...
All vital activities are rapidly increasing!
Hey! Over here!
Damn it!
Gamera!
Gamera.
Please don't let Boco down!
Damn it!
I can do it too.
I can protect--
You shouldn't have come.
Your wounds aren't healed yet!
Junichi! Brody!
Boco!
Did you think we'd let you go alone?
Try doing that again, you brat.
I'll sue you! I don't care if you're a kid!
Gamera!
Hey! Move aside!
Gamera's in trouble!
You can't do anything for him!
Orders from HQ.
Retreat immediately.
Regroup at the second line of defense, to the east.
- Quick! Retreat now! - I repeat. Retreat immediately.
Regroup at the second line of defense, to the east.
What's the situation?
Most of the ground troops are moving south via the west route.
So Gamera saved us again.
Wait. What's that tank doing?
Commander! What are you doing?
Retreat! We've been ordered to retreat!
Sir, you're almost out of ammunition!
I'll fire the killing shot into his mouth.
Come on!
Open your mouth!
What made you change your mind?
She knocked some sense into me.
I see.
Is that what you expected me to say?
So, you'd rather lose your son to avoid getting court-martialed?
Well, when you put it like that--
I'll testify for you.
That's ridiculous--
I don't care if they execute me!
I know I'm being unreasonable.
Even so...
I have to do something to save my son.
That's one determined woman.
Man or woman, it makes no difference.
Concentrate fire on the target! Don't stop!
Now! Fire!
Gamera! Get him!
Gyaos has been defeated.
We're running out of options.
Yes. You're right.
- We should report this, sir. - Later.
We have to confirm the safety of all personnel first.
Sir, are you injured?
No. I'm fine.
He's not dead, is he?
He's tougher than that.
Gamera!
We still
have Gamera.
S-Gyaos injected two kinds of RNA viruses into Gamera.
The viruses carry a special genetic code.
It reverses the changes made to Gamera's genetic configuration 10,000 years ago.
Gamera will be under our control again.
- Gamera! - Stop!
That thing isn't Gamera anymore.
We have to run.
No.
Are you crazy?
You'll die!
I trust Gamera.
Gamera! Over here!
Look at me!
Gamera will never change.
He's not like the other Kaiju.
Gamera...
No...
Don't...
Gamera, stop it!
Gamera!
Why?
Why do I have to lose Gamera too?
What's going on?
- What's that? - High level of energy detected?
Has Gamera started multiplying?
The time for purification has come at last.
My last summer break came to an end.
I don't really remember what happened next.
Next thing I knew, it was morning.
Mom and the others had come to the island too.
Even then,
I still couldn't believe that
Joe wasn't with us.
The Kaiju that terrorized Japan
have not appeared since the end of last month.
The government's giant-creatures task force
has decided to lower the alert level.
As restoration efforts continue at a rapid pace,
life in the affected areas is slowly returning to normal.
Hiroki! Have you done your homework?
I'll do it later.
What about your winter classes?
Like I said, I have things to do.
Honestly, that boy...
Was he always like that?
You're late!
Let's get it done quickly.
Sorry!
My copies of Mu and Wonderlife are in here.
What? You're not getting rid of them?
Are you crazy?
They'll be worth a ton in the future!
Wait, really?
I think I tore one just now.
What?! I don't care how you do it, but get me a replacement--
I was joking.
That's not funny.
It's a shame we have to say goodbye to it.
Yes, it's full of memories.
We can always come back.
Guys, it's already 3:30 p.m.
Let's hurry.
Boco!
Just a second.
Hey, dude!
Well, good riddance to you.
Show some respect.
Who do you think helped sort things out with the police and government?
It was your fault in the first place.
Tell that to the Foundation.
Speaking of the Foundation,
are you sure the UN investigated them?
They've been dealt with, but let's just say it's complicated.
Anyway, it's none of my business now.
Now, if you'll excuse me...
Summer break doesn't go on forever.
Everyone knows that.
But I pretended not to notice.
I always said, "See ya later."
But Joe, you knew all along
that this would end one day.
Actually, there's something I want to show you.
Joe,
you and Gamera protected us.
So this time,
it's our turn to protect him.
Books, newspapers, telephone, television... In short, all forms of media.
Money, securities...
Personal data, monitoring systems...
If only everything I needed could fit in the palm of my hand...
I know you've thought about it too.
A device we've been dreaming of. The stuff of science fiction.
Well, our company has successfully developed
the microcircuits and batteries necessary to make it a reality.
This is a communications device like no other.
Imagine having the world at your fingertips.
It's the ultimate device.
Mission control.
Boco, can you hear me?
Boco!
Are you there?
It's me! Can you hear me?
Boco!
