Episode 21 Story

To learn how to fight without using the power of Kaiju No. 8, Kafka Hibino trains in Defense Force martial arts under Soshiro Hoshina. It just so happened that this was the very strategy that Isao Shinomiya had perfected. During his training, Kafka's phone is returned to him, and he receives messages from his fellow cadets. At the same time, the leaders of the Defense Force are dealing with an increase in unresolved kaiju incidents happening all over Japan.
