Chapter Summaries

Natsuki used a mechanical light disc to kill Raijin and Leatherback, while Knifehead approached Shatterdome Base. As an unidentified man watched the base, Raleigh and Mako Mori prepared to face the Kaiju in a deep-blue Jaeger.

• Shaolin Rogue hurled Raijin into Leatherback, and Natsuki told Crimson Typhoon to buy him a few seconds.
• Natsuki broke apart Shaolin Rogue's right arm and formed a spinning disc of machinery and light.
• Crimson Typhoon used Leatherback as a pivot to evade Raijin and leave the two Kaiju tangled together.
• Natsuki launched the mechanical light disc, which sliced through Raijin and Leatherback and flew into the sky.
• Knifehead surfaced near Shatterdome Base as a slick-haired man watched and planned to take it.
• Raleigh and Mako Mori stood ready in a deep-blue Jaeger as Shatterdome Base's gate opened.

Raleigh and Mako Mori defeated a mechanically altered Knifehead while Eureka Striker deployed to join the mission to the Breach. As the teams prepared to proceed, the Breach expanded again and two Kaiju emerged, including a Category V.

• Raleigh and Mako Mori fought Knifehead while Cai Tiantong warned that Eureka Striker was nearly ready, and Raleigh told the others to send it to rendezvous with Natsuki.
• Marshal Stacker ordered Eureka Striker deployed and directed the mission to continue toward the Breach on the Pacific Ocean floor.
• Raleigh and Mako Mori spotted machinery and electrical arcs beneath Knifehead’s skin and suspected it was the Knifehead from five years ago, converted into a machine.
• Raleigh and Mako Mori used Gipsy Danger’s Plasma Cannon to destroy Knifehead, while Eureka Striker departed with its nuclear bomb loaded.
• Crimson Typhoon and Shaolin Rogue collected the Kaiju corpses as Natsuki praised Raleigh, then the command center reported that the Breach had expanded and two Kaiju had emerged, one Category IV and one Category V.

Marshal Stacker sent Gipsy Danger to reinforce the Jaegers facing two approaching Kaiju, while Zachary Lyman plotted to exploit the conflict between rival transmigrators. Natsuki deliberately destroyed Otachi’s corpse so he could claim he needed a fresh Kaiju body, then prepared to fight Abomination and Poison Woman.

• Marshal Stacker ordered Crimson Typhoon and Shaolin Rogue to avoid engaging the approaching Kaiju and sent Gipsy Danger to rendezvous with them and Eureka Striker.
• Zachary Lyman concluded that transmigrators were influencing both the Precursors and the Jaeger forces, and decided to let them fight while he prepared his own plan.
• Natsuki retrieved Otachi’s headless corpse, then learned that Category IV Abomination and Category V Poison Woman were less than five kilometers away.
• Tang Wei Hu warned Natsuki to conserve his stamina and follow Marshal Stacker’s order, but Natsuki claimed he needed a Kaiju corpse to pass through the Breach.
• Natsuki fired a thermite round at Otachi’s corpse and burned it, then pointed to Abomination and Poison Woman as convenient replacements.

As the Jaegers fought the Category V Kaiju Abomination and Poison Woman, Newton reported that the enemy had learned of humanity’s plan and prepared an army to ambush them inside the Breach. Marshal Stacker decided the mission could not be stopped and entrusted humanity’s last hope to Ultraman.

• Abomination attacked Crimson Typhoon and Shaolin Rogue, but Natsuki charged in and knocked it into the sea with a sweeping kick.
• Poison Woman roared at Abomination and then lunged toward the approaching silver-white Jaeger.
• Hermann told Marshal Stacker that Newton had Drifted with a Kaiju brain, and Albert realized Newton had built a Drift device himself.
• Newton entered the command center and revealed that the Kaiju knew the plan, had prepared an army, and would swarm the humans inside the Breach.
• Marshal Stacker concluded they could not abort the mission and decided to leave humanity’s fate to Ultraman.

Gipsy Danger and Eureka Striker joined Crimson Typhoon and Shaolin Rogue to fight Abomination and Poison Woman, while Raleigh insisted that Xia let the others fight alongside him. After Shaolin Rogue severely wounded Abomination, Young Hansen chose to accompany Xia into the Breach, and Eureka Striker set out with Abomination's corpse.

• Gipsy Danger and Eureka Striker arrived at the mission coordinates, and the four Jaegers faced Abomination and Poison Woman together.
• Raleigh and Crimson Typhoon engaged Poison Woman while Eureka Striker and Shaolin Rogue fought Abomination underwater.
• Raleigh told Xia that the others would handle the Kaiju so Xia could enter the Breach, and Xia agreed to leave the battle to them.
• Shaolin Rogue struck Abomination with a knife-hand attack and detonated munitions inside its body, badly wounding it.
• Young Hansen apologized to Xia for his earlier prejudice and insisted that he and Old Hansen accompany him into the Breach.
• Eureka Striker handed Abomination's corpse to Shaolin Rogue and headed toward the Breach with the Hansens.

Old Hansen and his son entered the Breach with the dying Abomination and found themselves surrounded by the Precursors’ vast Kaiju army. As the Jaegers were disabled and the Kaiju attacked, a radiant giant appeared and began slaughtering the creatures.

• Old Hansen and his son carried the Abomination through the Breach into the Precursors’ hollowed-out world.
• The Precursors revealed their enormous army of Kaiju waiting to attack the Jaegers.
• Old Hansen and his son tried to detonate the nuclear bomb, but Leatherbacks disabled both Jaegers with EMP attacks.
• A swarm of Kaiju descended on the disabled Jaegers as the Precursors watched.
• A blinding light burst from the one-armed Jaeger, and a toothed wheel of light tore through the Kaiju and destroyed Precursor structures.
• The radiant red-and-silver giant appeared before the Precursors, its blue crystal glowing and its eyes shining like the sun.

Natsuki, appearing as Ultraman, slaughtered waves of Kaiju in the Precursor stronghold while Old Hansen and Young Hansen celebrated his power. Yochi and the Archbishop-Class Precursor believed they could survive until Ultraman’s three-minute limit expired, but the battle continued to turn against them.

• Natsuki set the disabled Eureka Striker down safely among the ruins and began killing the Kaiju surrounding it.
• Old Hansen and Young Hansen recognized the giant who had saved the marshal and Raleigh, then cheered as he avenged humanity’s losses.
• Natsuki fought off successive waves of Kaiju, using punches and rings of light to kill or scatter them.
• Yochi told the Archbishop-Class Precursor that Ultraman could remain active for only three minutes, and they decided to hold out until his time ran out.
• Natsuki charged into the next Kaiju swarm, hurled one Category IV Kaiju into others, and pierced more enemies with twin crescents of light.

A giant wielding the Specium Ray devastated the Kaiju and the Precursors, shattering their forces and society. Yochi escaped to a Kaiju Factory and transferred his consciousness into their strongest Kaiju, preparing to fight the giant once three minutes had passed.

• The giant used discs of light to cut through Category V Kaiju, and Young Hansen recognized the attack as Shaolin Rogue’s low-energy version.
• The giant formed a cross with his arms and swept the Specium Ray across the battlefield, destroying Kaiju and Precursor buildings.
• Yochi fled before the beam struck, while the archbishop was buried in rubble and discovered that his servants had died or scattered.
• Yochi reached a Kaiju Factory, injected himself with a syringe-like instrument, and ordered the Precursors to awaken their strongest weapon using his genes.
• Yochi transferred his consciousness into the enormous Kaiju and prepared to kill the giant after the three minutes were up.

Yochi unleashed a Category VI Super Kaiju against Ultraman, believing the giant was nearly out of time. Ultraman easily repelled the beast, and Yochi tried to survive for the final twenty seconds of the transformation.

• Ultraman's Spacium beam destroyed the Precursors' structures across the space.
• A Category VI Super Kaiju burst from a ruined Kaiju Factory, and Yochi prepared to use it against Ultraman.
• Yochi charged, but Ultraman caught the Super Kaiju by its tusks and kicked it into the rubble.
• Yochi discovered that one of the beast's secondary brains had shattered, then tore out damaged organs.
• Yochi ran through the rubble, trying to last the remaining twenty seconds until Ultraman's time ran out.

Natsuki’s Ultraman defeated Yochi’s super Kaiju despite the three-minute limit, then began hunting Yochi after he escaped the wreckage. Yochi spotted Ultraman looking toward him as he tried to withdraw.

• Ultraman spun through the air and kicked Yochi’s super Kaiju across the ruins.
• Yochi grabbed the Eureka Striker and held its pilots hostage, but Young Hansen detonated its nuclear bomb and the Hansens escaped in pods.
• Ultraman shielded the escape pods from the blast, then remained active after three minutes because he was not on Earth.
• Ultraman destroyed the super Kaiju with a Specium Ray, while Yochi survived beneath the rubble and resolved to warn Quake.
• Yochi prepared to withdraw, but Ultraman turned his gaze toward him.
