Kafka's Cleaners observe from a distance as he and the Defense Corps battle a Honju. They wonder about the new recruit from an earlier episode. This recruit attacks Iharu with a projectile and transforms into a Kaiju. Reno and Iharu recognize him as the Kaiju that attacked Kikoru during the enlistment. The Kaiju vows to capture one of them. Reno tries to contact a troop officer but fails. The Kaiju explains the reason to him and attacks Reno, who manages to avoid severe damage thanks to Kikoru's advice.
Reno orders Iharu to call for backup. As Iharu flees, he reflects on Hoshina's words about superior combat prowess and compares his stagnation to Reno's growth. Determined, Iharu turns back to save Reno from the Kaiju's attack. The Kaiju declares that they must defeat him to escape. Despite their efforts, the Kaiju injures Reno. Meanwhile, Ikaruga informs Hoshina about the lost contact with Iharu and Reno. Kikoru tells Kafka that the sentient Kaiju is present.
The Kaiju continues trying to harm Reno, but Kafka appears in his Kaiju form and decapitates the enemy. Kafka carries Reno to safety, who feels guilty for trusting Kafka's transformation. Still, Reno hopes for Kafka's safety. The Kaiju reattaches its head and tests a projectile on Kafka to capture him in a grand battle. Kafka mercilessly beats down the Kaiju and exposes its core. The Defense Force troops spot Kafka and aim their weapons at him.
Kikoru defeats a Yoju and recalls Kafka's plan to follow Reno and Iharu. Kafka believes he can sense the Kaiju despite the chaos on the battlefield, transforms, and asks Kikoru to handle things. Word spreads that Kaiju No. 8 is on the battlefield. Hoshina dispatches a neutralization team there. The Kaiju regenerates, now understanding Kafka's power, and vows to kill him next time. It attempts to injure two soldiers, but Kafka shields them as the Kaiju disappears. Kafka retreats into an alley, where Hoshina finds him.
Hoshina announces that he has found Kaiju No. 8, unleashes his combat power, and swears to destroy Kaiju No. 8 by the end of the episode.
