Or so it seemed.

Nowadays it's all dead.

It's shown at a late hour,

Too late for most...

Yes, the 'dead' hour

Yes.

1 million viewers?

I remember when we reached 2 million!

The viewers will come back,

I'm sure.

I don't know.

Where do you go from here?

It's all changing.

I hear that the monsters are all

in the central region.

There are a lot of electricity

wires there.

I really want to go to there.

How many places are left in this country?

Nowadays,

We are running out of places left

to fight in.

But, we still have the castle of 8 Princes,

that hasn't been used for a while.

Always historical sites?

At the beginning of the century we

had 52 places to fight.

52 places?

In all.

More choice.

What can you do to change things,

to improve the ratings?

Some people say you are a monster?

Yes, I am a monster.

The general term is 'monster'

I am fine,

with this.

A 'monster' to me is

not always a bad thing.

We must choose our words carefully,

Today we can use this word freely,

The conotations aren't so bad.

Yes, a 'monster'.

During the old times,

people didn't think like they

do today.

I am sure of that.

Are you sure?

Really?

So you say...

It's depends

on how you think about it.

How do you feel about working

for the military?

Your opinions?

Well,

This doesn't interest me at all.

I occasionally hear comments,

but I take no notice.

What I do is a tradition,

from ancient times.

It is certainly very complex

The end result is that,

monsters and humans resist

each other.

Only when

one of them is dying

do the humans or monsters

understand the other culture

I have no hatred of humans

Are you scared of anyone?

Uncertainty scares me,

or this new generation!

We are just products now.

Last of the things that cannot be controlled.

Todays generation just wants

to clean up everything.

The children?

The children...

Yes, the children

I am not so sure.

Can we come in?

Bear with me,

Just wait here a moment.

Okay.

I am the 'King of Pain'

That...

crew is filming me,

Can you let them in?

He says it's okay...

Hello.

Hello.

In the beginning...

I am ready.

The costume

It changes the shape of the body,

He feels it.

Yes, he feels it.

Right

He always looks like that.

Yes, Yes

Recently,

he has been more aggressive.

He was more solemn before.

He is changing,

For quite a while now,

Yes, a while.

The ceremony must be done right.

How do you know if it's allright?

Well, what I mean is,

as he grows - he changes.

He's very unpredictable.

Does he transform here?

Not always...

From time to time.

Does he prefer it here?

It must be done correctly?

That is vital.

Are you scared?

Does he worry you sometimes?

No...

because they are a good team.

Sorry, Sorry,

can you start again?

Okay.

Okay, ready now.

Sorry!

The beginning...

I am ready.

Please stand back.

Do you think he is cursed?

Cursed?

A curse is something...

that doesn't have a positive meaning.

I'd say it's a...

gift.

It's hard to say,

Go on...

A curse...

A curse...

can be used to serve justice also.

His heart is honest.

Who said it was a curse?

Well, we all have our own personal

viewpoint.

Everyone thinks that they

are usually right.

I thinks that that he is

a man of justice,

but,

what exactly is justice?

In todays world,

these definitions

become blurred. What is life?

Your life?

My life? Whose so-called life

is the standard?

it's all a process.

My own life is here

Iife

still...

from generation to generation

we continue the last one,

that progression is 'life'

To say that the ones self

is the only life?

Or death...

Will only I die, when I close

my eyes for the last time?

This is very important.

Which one is more important

is another matter.

But if I compare death to life,

then life is certainly

the most important.

Life is hard,

People

get die all the time.

To ignore it is foolish,

It's all we have.

Animals also think

in this kind of way

Even monsters...

He must find a safe landing spot

before he jumps down.

If he is successful he will prosper.

This is the survival mentality

that drives the monster.

Please do not cover your chest.

What a hero!

What a hero!.

It's starting...

Thanks

Thanks

It's starting,

Does the 'King of Pain' come here often?

Yes, when his schedule allows.

He drops in.

Sorry, what is your relation to him?

Me?

Just a friend.

We were childhood friends.

We have known each other for

so long now.

This is the true test of friendship.

What do you think of his work?

It's very tiring.

I've seen him grow,

and transform

into the giant.

it looked so painful!

A lot of people let fame go

to their head,

But not him.

He always wants

to please and help others.

Ms Mulberry,

How old are you?

What do you think,

Guess how old?

30...s

30's?! You divided in two!

It doesn't matter whether you

know or not,

Just don't say I am 20 years old

Age is important to a woman.

I'm sorry.

Ms Mulberry, are you coming too?

Come with me, right?

I should slap you!

Thanks.

Okay,

Be careful!

Ms Mulberry, be careful!

See you tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Young ladies, how many of you

entertained him tonight?

Him?

Yes.

Yes, how many?

7 or so.

She is still learning,

Don't compare!

Your pronunciation?

Yes, It's better now!

Say 'President'?

'President', 'President'

'President'

'President', 'President'

'President'

Hey! You shouldn't be here!

Spring

Anyone?

Hello,

I am the 'King of Pain'.

Yes...

This is for you.

He is in room number 3.

Okay.

Has he been here long?

His Grandfather?

About three years

Are you surprised?

He leads an active life.

What he can do is very unusual.

Yes, that's one way of saying it.

He's quiet,

He is older now.

Yes, he is.

Your grandpa can be difficult?

It's tough to feed him,

or give him his medicine.

When he was younger

he took a lot of different drugs.

Maybe more pressure from society?

How did your father die?

Very tragically,

my father died

when he was still very young.

His death came about...

because he...

wanted to be bigger.

but he over-worked himself...

and died abruptly.

His generation was different,

in the fourth generation

the elder of the house

couldn't connect with their sons.

They reminded them of the

ageing process.

Well, that's my guess.

Do you think everything is bigger now?

Can we deny it?

We sometimes forget the consequences,

which are bigger problems.

as a result...

intelligence is slipping away.

Our brains are bigger.

No.

Hello.

-Your Grandpa has escaped.

He fled the hospital

Tokyo Tower Under Attack!

What do you think?

This is...

this is a problem of the

fourth generation

The generations are irrelevant.

I don't know what to do,

We will lose all our sponsors.

I'm sorry for the 'sponsor',

but what can I do?

What are you saying?

The sponsors pay our salaries.

I really don't know...

That's why you are the manager!

Me?

The fourth generation?

You are also the fourth generation?
