Kikoru Shinomiya went to great lengths to vouch for Hibino’s life, pleading directly with her father, Isao. However, a chest x-ray revealed that Hibino already had a kaiju core, which made him more monster than human.

To ascertain Hibino’s true nature, Isao attacked him to gauge his control over his monster form and determine if he would retain his humanity as Kaiju no 8. For this test, Isao wielded the formidable Numbers Weapon 2.

Numbers Weapon 2, a dual gauntlet paired with a specialized combat suit, was crafted from the remains of Kaiju no 2, one of the most powerful monsters ever faced by the Defense Force. This Kaiju nearly obliterated Sapporo in 1972.

Isao Shinomiya was the only member of the Defense Force capable of handling Numbers Weapon 2, highlighting his elite status among the JAKDF’s top soldiers. His expertise with Numbers Weapon 2 earned him the reputation as the strongest fighter in the Defense Force’s history.

Under the relentless onslaught of Isao’s attack, Hibino was forced to fully transform into Kaiju no 8.

In this form, he lost control of his body, and the Kaiju that had infected him at the beginning of the series resurfaced, incessantly commanding Hibino to kill.

In Kaiju no 8, Numbers Weapons (also called Kaiju Weapons) are powerful combat gear crafted from the remains of defeated Kaiju. Developed by Izumo Tech, these suits harness the deceased Kaiju’s strength and abilities.

Numbers Weapons are powerful enough to take on even the most dangerous Daikaiju-class monsters. However, wielding them comes at a cost.

Not everyone can use a Numbers Weapon. To function effectively, users need to be compatible with the specific Kaiju essence within the suit.

Synchronizing with the Kaiju energy triggers a surge in the user’s brain, potentially amplifying negative emotions and risking injuries.

Some users have reported seeing ghosts of the Kaiju from which the weapon was made, and occasionally the previous wielder, creating a connection between their memories and the new user.
