The star is Gen Narumi, captain of the Defense Force's 1st Division — known as "Japan's strongest anti-kaiju force."

This is the tale of anything-but-peaceful "weekdays" stirred up by the strongest man. Animation by Production I.G as in the main series; Gen Narumi voiced by Koki Uchiyama. Streaming from Fall 2026.
