Who is the mysterious Colonel Sagami, leader of the band of kaiju tamers who call themselves the Light of E-RDE? What role did he have during the final battle against the intergalactic kaiju? These questions linger over the struggle for Mishima Mall as Tetsuo and his newfound friends fight to protect their home. The answers may reveal uncomfortable truths about the kaiju invasion of Earth, and a connection between the colonel and Tetsuo…
After the battle with Colonel Sagami and VIERDE, and fearing an attack by the kaiju in Tokyo, the leader of Mishima Mall determines that the settlement must move. Tetsuo volunteers to scout a possible hideout that Nayuta, a member of VIERDE, says he discovered. Can Tetsuo work with people who were his enemies just the day before? With a new paranormal kaiju lurking in the frozen wasteland, he’ll need all the allies he can get!
Femlar, a man-eating kaiju controlled by Nadare, attacks Mishima Mall just before the survivors relocate. With Tetsuo out of the cockpit after a misunderstanding, Nayuta pilots a damaged Yukio to engage Femlar alongside Ao and Land of Men, but the childlike kaiju may be too much for them to handle. When all seems to be lost, a strange beckoning cat may prove to be the key to unlocking Yukio’s final form—but at what cost?
The vast power source found within Yukio’s final form gives humanity a glimmer of hope toward securing Earth’s safety. But on their way to a new village, Tetsuo and Yukio encounter a giant robot. What’s more, this robot looks exactly like Yukio, but with black hardware! Will this unknown machine prove to be friend or foe? Then, Earth’s icy battle heats up as one of the strongest kaiju smashes its way toward Tetsuo’s crew from belowground!
After Tetsuo and his crew narrowly escape an attack from Gold Coast, one of the strongest kaiju around, they head toward the Australian continent to retrieve the Ultimate Body, said to be the key to saving humankind. There, Tetsuo learns of Hitohira’s tragic history as a member of the original TRUE E-RDE. Tetsuo is also reunited with his father after ten long years, but not all reunions are happy…
Humanity has finally obtained its trump card in the form of Snowman Pandora, and its power seems to overwhelm even the continent destroyer Gold Coast! However, just as Tetsuo and Yukio try to ride the momentum and secure their win, Gold Coast unleashes his true power. With defeat looming, Tetsuo begins to fall into despair, but his friends help shine a light toward victory!
