synopsis:

Riveting scenes of destruction and psychological warfare between man and a hiveminded alien force continue in this all-new animated feature film.

Years have passed since Kazuki led a team of young pilots to terminate the alien’s home base. Tatsumiya Island is close to recovery, but the scars of war and loss remain with the survivors—and peace remains a distant dream. With Soshi still in its clutches, the enemy attacks using human’s own military tactics against them. A mysterious messenger offers an ultimatum for coexistence like a backhanded olive branch: surrender the island’s core for assimilation or die. Determined to save his best friend and their only home, Kazuki risks the loss of both body and mind in an explosive battle over the fate of humankind.
