What are we supposed to do now...?
One day, a Kaiju with the highest Fortitude in history appeared in Japan. Its Fortitude was 10.3, making it virtually impossible to subjugate. Despite desperate attempts to maintain hope and defeat it until the very end, subjugation proved impossible. With almost every unit on the brink of annihilation, fewer than 45 personnel remained when the dust settled. Hoshina Soshiro, Narumi Gen, Ashiro Mina, Shinomiya Kikoru, Hoshina Soichiro, and a few others were the only survivors, and even they were in critical condition. Soshiro was at risk of losing his right arm. Soichiro was at risk of losing his left arm and right leg. Narumi was blinded in his left eye. Ashiro suffered a fatal abdominal wound. Kikoru was at risk of losing her right leg and suffered from excessive bleeding. These were just the major injuries; their overall condition was even worse. Japan was already devastated, and the Defense Force had lost all public trust and support. Just as everyone's last shred of hope was being replaced by despair, the Kaiju self-destructed. Given its Fortitude of 10.3, any officers caught in the blast would have died instantly. Some were buried under the rubble of surrounding buildings caused by the explosion. Even though they survived, and even though the Daikaiju was gone, the fallen comrades would never return. The lost trust and public support were gone forever. With Japan in ruins, there was nothing left to protect. Not the fellow officers, not the peaceful streets of Japan, nor the shattered trust, faith, and public sentiment toward the Defense Force. About three months later, the Defense Force was finally disbanded. There was no trust left, and since that Kaiju appeared, only weak ones that could be defeated even with low released power emerged, making the organization's existence meaningless.
The captain of the First Division, known as the strongest in Japan. He usually lives in the captain's office, but he is a typical otaku whose room is a mess of trash, filled with his hobbies of gaming and plastic models, leading a degenerate lifestyle. He is a man full of flaws, such as performing a dogeza to his subordinate Kikoru to borrow money when he runs out from shopping, or skipping meetings by ignoring Defense Force summons. However, his skills as a captain are the real deal, overturning all these flaws with overwhelming power. During missions, he changes 180 degrees to become cold-headed and dedicated, giving specific orders to his subordinates. GS-3305: The bayonet Narumi uses as a weapon. It is several times larger than a standard bayonet, featuring a blade that burns the cut surface simultaneously with the strike. Numbers 1 & RT-01: A suit made from the remains of Kaiju No. 1 and lenses crafted from No. 1's retinas.
The vice-captain of the Third Division of the Defense Force. A member of the Hoshina family, a lineage of Kaiju executioners dating back to the Muromachi period. In the Defense Force, which primarily uses long-range weapons, he uses swords as his main weapon due to his low released power with firearms, employing Hoshina-style Subjugation Arts in combat. His combat suit release rate was 92% early in the series, the third highest at the time, showing incredible speed that Kafka described as 'not human movement.' He usually has a smiling face, but it's hard to see him smile now. He speaks in a Kansai dialect, as he is from that region. SW-2033: The two swords Soshiro uses. They are about the length of short swords, sharp, and highly durable.
The captain of the Third Division of the Defense Force. Hibino Kafka's childhood friend. After their village was destroyed by a Kaiju when they were young, she vowed to become a Defense Force officer with Kafka. While Kafka failed to join, she passed and rose to the rank of captain through pure skill, boasting a record of subjugating hundreds of Kaiju. A sharpshooter who snipes large Kaiju from a distance. Her released power is 96%. She appears cold and taciturn on the outside, but she is actually very considerate and has a kind personality that treasures her subordinates. T-25101985: A massive portable cannon with incredible power. Used to take down large Kaiju, it is powerful enough to blow them to pieces in just a few shots.
The daughter of Defense Force Director Shinomiya Isao and former Second Division Captain Shinomiya Hikari. She is called the greatest talent in history, having skipped grades at the California Subjugation University to graduate as the youngest valedictorian at age 16. She is arrogant and has high pride, but also possesses a kind heart that values her comrades. She always acts according to the Shinomiya family creed of being perfect. Numbers 4: A suit made from the remains of Kaiju No. 4. The only Numbers suit with flight capabilities and the fastest of them all. AX-0112: Kikoru's dedicated weapon, a battle axe. AX-0113: The battle axe Kikoru uses after AX-0112 was destroyed.
The current captain of the Sixth Division. A pivotal figure in the Western Division, said to be the Western equivalent of Narumi Gen in the East. Evaluated as the perfected form of the Hoshina family and the next head, he was the standard his younger brother was compared to since childhood. However, at present, while his overall combat power is higher, he seems to be surpassed by his brother in close-quarters combat. Perhaps due to his teasing when they were young, they are currently out of contact.

A comprehensive overview of the Defense Force and Kaiju!
One day, a Kaiju with the highest Fortitude in history appeared in Japan.
Its Fortitude was 10.3, making it virtually impossible to subjugate.
Despite desperate attempts to maintain hope and defeat it until the very end, subjugation proved impossible.
With almost every unit on the brink of annihilation, fewer than 45 personnel remained when the dust settled.
Hoshina Soshiro, Narumi Gen, Ashiro Mina, Shinomiya Kikoru, Hoshina Soichiro, and a few others were the only survivors, and even they were in critical condition.
Soshiro was at risk of losing his right arm. Soichiro was at risk of losing his left arm and right leg. Narumi was blinded in his left eye. Ashiro suffered a fatal abdominal wound. Kikoru was at risk of losing her right leg and suffered from excessive bleeding.
These were just the major injuries; their overall condition was even worse.
Japan was already devastated, and the Defense Force had lost all public trust and support.
Just as everyone's last shred of hope was being replaced by despair,
the Kaiju self-destructed.
Given its Fortitude of 10.3, any officers caught in the blast would have died instantly. Some were buried under the rubble of surrounding buildings caused by the explosion.
Even though they survived, and even though the Daikaiju was gone, the fallen comrades would never return. The lost trust and public support were gone forever. With Japan in ruins, there was nothing left to protect.
Not the fellow officers, not the peaceful streets of Japan,
nor the shattered trust, faith, and public sentiment toward the Defense Force.
About three months later, the Defense Force was finally disbanded. There was no trust left, and since that Kaiju appeared, only weak ones that could be defeated even with low released power emerged, making the organization's existence meaningless.
Having lost everything in an instant, they are now scattered. Among them, Guest stares blankly at the ruined streets before discovering a shelter.
Yes, like they said, I copy-pasted from Namuwiki and had to cut it down, so the tone might change suddenly or I might have skipped some spaces. I even had to skip one of Ashiro's weapons... I mean, it was over 2,600 characters... T_T
I worked hard to shorten it, so if it's uncomfortable to read, please leave a comment. I'll try to edit it. This was the creator. Thanks!
Oh no, what should I do? The creator is out of ideas and doesn't know how to start this. T_T
