Summary of the story
In 2013, colossal extraterrestrial creatures known as Kaiju commenced emerging from an interdimensional portal, referred to as "the Breach," situated at the depths of the Pacific Ocean, and launched attacks on coastal cities. In response, humanity constructed enormous robots, named Jaegers, which are co-piloted by two or more individuals who share a mental connection through a process called "Drifting," enabling them to share the mental strain of operating the machine.
In 2020, brothers Yancy and Raleigh Becket piloted the American Jaeger, Gipsy Danger, to safeguard Anchorage from a Category-3 Kaiju, codenamed Knifehead, which inflicted severe damage on Gipsy, resulting in Yancy's demise. Raleigh vanquished Knifehead and steered Gipsy to shore unaccompanied before collapsing. Raleigh, traumatized by the loss of his brother and the stress of operating alone, resigned from the Jaeger program.
Five years later, global leaders resolved to terminate funding for the Jaeger program and substitute it with coastal defense walls, as the frequency of Kaiju attacks was escalating, and Jaegers were being destroyed more rapidly than they were being constructed. Although the walls were swiftly proven to be ineffective, the remaining Jaegers were relocated to Hong Kong under the leadership of Marshal Stacker Pentecost, who intends to attempt to obliterate the Breach using a tactical nuclear weapon, despite previous unsuccessful endeavors.
