Japan, known for its high kaiju-emergence rates, faces the constant threat of deadly monster attacks. To combat this menace, the Japan Defense Force (JDF) has been established as a dedicated military organization. Among them is Kafka Hibino, a young man who has always dreamed of joining the JDF and becoming a kaiju-corpse cleanup man. However, his path to fulfilling his dream takes an unexpected turn when he undergoes a remarkable transformation.

Kafka's transformation into a kaiju himself presents a unique challenge. He now possesses the strength and abilities of these colossal creatures, but he also carries the burden of their destructive nature. Despite this newfound power, Kafka is determined to use it for good and join the JDF in their mission to neutralize kaiju.

However, his journey is not without its obstacles. Renos, a fellow kaiju-corpse cleanup man, has been training with the Numbers Weapon, a powerful tool that allows him to control and manipulate kaiju. Renos has made rapid progress and has become a formidable opponent, leaving Iharu, another member of the team, feeling somewhat overshadowed.

As the JDF prepares for a live kaiju-combat field test, Renos is ordered to participate. Iharu, determined to catch up to Renos and prove his worth, shifts his focus to improving his own skills. However, their neutralization mission takes a turn when an abnormality strikes Reno, forcing Iharu into action to save his friend and protect the city.

Through their trials and tribulations, Kafka and Iharu learn to harness their newfound powers and work together to defend Japan from the threat of kaiju. They face formidable opponents, overcome personal doubts, and grow in strength and courage. Their journey is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and determination in the face of adversity.

In the end, Kafka and Iharu emerge as heroes, using their unique abilities to save Japan and protect the world from the menace of kaiju. Their story inspires others to embrace their differences and work together for a common goal, proving that even the most unexpected transformations can lead to extraordinary achievements.
