Held captive by the Defense Force, Kafka Hibino endures a brutal interrogation at the hands of Director General Isao Shinomiya. Blinded by a personal vendetta against all kaiju, Isao violently tests Kafka's humanity, completely disregarding the fact that Kafka saved his own daughter, Kikoru. As Isao rips a piece from his body, he condemns Kafka for the simple instinct of self-preservation, seeking to provoke a monstrous reaction. Kafka's fate now hangs in the balance, subject to the unyielding judgment of a powerful man who sees him not as a hero, but as the very type of creature that shattered his past.
