The episode's official synopsis:

 Japan faces daily threats from kaijus. Kafka Hibino, who wanted to join the Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force, gave up his goal and began working at a kaiju-specialized cleaning service. While feeling melancholy over his pledge to combat kaijus alongside boyhood buddy and leader of the Defense Force Unit 3, Mina Ashiro, Kafka encounters Reno Ichikawa, a junior aspiring Defense Force member.

Kafka aspires to one day follow his promise to his childhood friend Mina to join the Japan Defense Force and fight alongside her.However, while she is out neutralizing kaiju as Third Division captain, Kafka is stuck cleaning up the wreckage of her engagements. When a surprise rule change renders Kafka eligible for the Defense Force, he chooses to try out for the squad again. There's just one problem: he's on the Defense Force's neutralization list under the code name Kaiju No. 8.
