In 2013, gigantic monsters called Kaijus emerge from an interdimensional portal called “The Breach” at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean around Guam. In the first three years, the Kaijus wreak havoc on coastal towns along the Ring of Fire, such as San Francisco , San Jose del Cabo , Sydney , Manila and Hong Kong . Humanity responds by building massive robotic machines called Jaegers , to fight against the foreign threat. Each Jaeger is piloted by two or more people, who are connected by a neural bridge in a process called “drift” to share the mental stress of driving the machine. If the first models allowed the victory, the monsters come back stronger and in 2020, the Jaeger undergo a wave of setbacks. On the eve of the defeat, when the Jaeger program has just been abandoned, in 2025, the forces defending humanity have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes: Raleigh Becket, a former pilot still traumatized by the death of his brother during a clash against a kaiju and Mako Mori, a rookie who has never been to the field, having lost his family who was killed by a kaiju. In German), simultaneously controlled by two pilots whose minds are connected by a neural bridge. To fight the kaiju , extraterrestrial creatures emerging from an interdimensional breach near the geological fault at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in August 2013, a new kind of weapon was designed: giant robots , called the Jaeger (“hunters”).
