Episode 7 Story

The half-destroyed Yukio faces a fierce assault from Hercules (Sui no Ken), a powerful Kaiju that emerged from beneath the snow. Tetsuo puts up a desperate defense, but he is gradually driven into a corner by the enemy's overwhelming power and calculated tactics. In this dire situation, the method Tetsuo chooses to break the deadlock is... his very first attempt at communication!

Introduction

"Yukio, I’m going to make a friend."

For shy young Tetsuo,
the only friend he’s ever known is the giant robot Yukio.
Together, they defended humanity as its “saviors,”
standing against galactic monsters that invaded from space.

A decade has passed since their final,
desperate battle for humanity’s survival.

When Tetsuo finally returns to Earth,
he finds a world transformed into a frozen wasteland—
an icebound planet now known as Snowball Earth.

Carrying the promise he once made to Yukio deep in his heart,
Tetsuo takes his first steps into this strange new world.
