Top 10 Strongest Kaiju Defense Force Members in Kaiju No 8 Ranked

10. Kafka Hibino (Kaiju No. 8)

Our protagonist, Kafka Hibino, presents a unique case. In terms of standard combat suit Force Output and physical fitness, Kafka falls short compared to his comrades. However, his secret identity as Kaiju No. 8 grants him immense power. He can transform into a Kaiju with incredible regenerative abilities, superhuman strength, and the ability to morph his body.

While his human form struggles to utilize the Combat Suit effectively (reaching a mere 1% Force Output), his Kaiju form allows him to devastate Kaiju with ease. Kafka’s true strength lies in this duality, making him an unpredictable and valuable asset to the Defense Force.

9. Eiji Hasegawa

Eiji, the Vice-Captain of the First Division (considered the strongest division), is presumed to be a highly skilled combatant. He commands the First Division during battles, allowing Gen Narumi greater freedom to strategize.

Unfortunately, details about his combat style and equipment, particularly his massive metal battle suit, remain shrouded in mystery. However, considering the First Division’s reputation, Eiji can be assumed to possess exceptional strength and leadership qualities.

8. Iharu Furuhashi

A young officer in the Third Division, Iharu Furuhashi is a rising star. He consistently ranked first in his class, proving his exceptional talent. Iharu’s fighting style is characterized by explosive bursts of power. He possesses a rare ability called “Flash Adapter,” caused by a unique brain structure that limits his ability to maintain a high Force Output for extended periods.

However, this translates into a rapid and overwhelming fighting style, allowing him to unleash bursts of power reaching 42% in mere seconds, even fluctuating back and forth unpredictably. Captain Ogata compares his potential to his own and believes Iharu can become a great soldier. With ongoing training to master his unique ability, Iharu has the potential to surpass even Leno Ichikawa. He has recently achieved a stable Force Output of 88%, showcasing his growth and solidifying his place as a valuable member of the Defense Force.

7. Kikoru Shinomiya

Kikoru Shinomiya, the daughter of esteemed Defense Force veterans, is the tritagonist and a member of the Third Division. Despite being a rookie, her combat prowess is undeniable. She can single-handedly neutralize hordes of Kaiju with minimal effort, earning praise from her superiors. Her exceptional skills and remarkable Force Output potential make her a future pillar of the Defense Force. Kikoru wields a personal weapon, a privilege usually reserved for higher-ranking officers.

She utilizes Numbers Weapon 4, granting her enhanced physical attributes. This allows her to spar with Gen himself (also wielding a Numbers Weapon) and eliminate Kaiju with a Fortitude level of 7.0. Numbers Weapon 4 also enables her to fly at high speeds and even temporarily match the strength of a powerful Kaiju like No. 15. Interestingly, the weapon allows her to see her mother’s ghost through the memories of Kaiju No. 4. By mimicking her mother’s movements, Kikoru’s combat prowess reaches even greater heights.

6. Jugo Ogata

The remaining Captains of the Defense Force shroud themselves in a veil of mystery. Captain Jugo Ogata leads the Fourth Division. While readers haven’t witnessed him in combat yet, his position demands exceptional strength and respect from powerhouses like Mina Ashiro. Similar to Iharu Furuhashi, Jugo possesses a unique ability – his Combat Suit’s Force Output experiences significant spikes depending on his emotional state. When passionate about the battle, Jugo unleashes a surprisingly high amount of power.

5. Leno Ichikawa

The series’ deuteragonist, Leno Ichikawa, embodies immense potential. Recognized by Soshiro Hoshina as a future Captain, Leno has already displayed impressive feats. He possesses incredible speed, surprising even the agile Kafka. His reflexes are equally remarkable, allowing him to dodge Kaiju No. 9’s lightning-fast attacks. When wielding Numbers Weapon 6, his speed reaches even greater heights. Leno’s fighting style revolves around manipulating ice.

Numbers Weapon 6 allows him to generate and control vast amounts of ice and freezing energy, mirroring the powers of the deceased Kaiju No. 6. He can use this ability to freeze opponents with a touch or solidify his footing by creating ice beneath his feet. His growth is evident – he can now freeze entire hordes of Kaiju in a single attack. While not yet at the pinnacle of strength, Leno’s potential and ever-evolving skills make him a force to be reckoned with.

4. Isao Shinomiya

The former Director General of the Defense Force, Isao Shinomiya, commanded absolute authority. Though past his prime, he earned the title of “the strongest soldier” in the organization’s history. Despite his weakened state, Isao displayed immense strength, holding his own against the berserk Kaiju No. 8 and nearly bringing down Kaiju No. 9.

Utilizing Numbers Weapon 2, Isao harnessed Kaiju No. 2’s abilities, generating devastating sonic booms and potent electrical attacks. Isao was a master of close-quarters combat, his honed martial arts techniques forming the foundation of the Defense Force’s fighting style. His prowess allowed him to overpower Kafka with ease and engage in a fierce duel with Kaiju No. 8. Even with a single arm, he could trade blows with the formidable Kaiju No. 9.

3. Soshiro Hoshina

Soshiro Hoshina, the Vice-Captain of the Third Division, hails from a long lineage of Kaiju slayers – the Hoshina Family. This heritage translates into his exceptional swordsmanship. With his custom-made blades or his katana, Soshiro delivers swift and precise strikes, carving through Kaiju with deadly efficiency. His skill is so profound that he is considered one of the Defense Force’s top blade specialists.

Notably, Soshiro possesses a remarkable ability to adapt his fighting style mid-battle, as showcased during the fight against Kaiju No. 12. As a Vice-Captain, Soshiro can unleash a high level of power from his Combat Suit, reaching 92% in the standard version. However, pushing this limit can cause overheating. While wielding Numbers Weapon 10, he can unleash a “Full Release,” utilizing the suit’s full potential.
