==Summary==
Kiryu (機龍, Ki ryū, meaning "machine dragon") is a cybernetically-enhanced mecha. Its mechanical body was built around the remains of the original Godzilla and was later reanimated by the Anti-Megalosaurus Force for the sole purpose of combating the threat posed by kaiju such as Godzilla.
Built around the skeletal remains of the Godzilla that attacked Tokyo in 1954, Kiryu was an advanced cyborg designed to defend Japan from the kaiju that frequently menace it, particularly the current Godzilla. Kiryu first saw action in 2003 when he was deployed to battle Godzilla when he surfaced at Hakkeijima. However, Godzilla's roar awakened the original Godzilla's restless spirit attached to Kiryu's skeleton, causing the machine to go berserk. Kiryu was recalled and his programming altered so this incident could never occur again, then was sent out against Godzilla a second time when he landed in Tokyo. Kiryu fought Godzilla to a draw, leaving him with a gruesome chest wound and himself losing an arm. Kiryu was rebuilt over a year and sent into combat with Godzilla again when he returned to Tokyo. Kiryu fought alongside Mothra and her twin larvae and finally triumphed against his organic counterpart by reopening the wound on Godzilla's chest. The original Godzilla's spirit took control of Kiryu once again and chose to sink himself in the Japan Trench with the immobilized Godzilla and deactivate rather than kill another member of his kind.

Range: Tens of Meters physically, Dozens of Meters with Absolute Zero Cannon. Several Hundred of Meters with beams and missiles
Standard Equipment:
*Two Type-90 Maser Cannons
*Triple Hyper Maser Cannon
*Twin Laser Cannons
*Wrist-Mounted Blades (Can conduct electricity)
*Spiral Claw
*Type-0 and 4 Railguns
*Wire
*Back Unit
*Rocket Boosters
*Shoulder-Mounted Rocket Launchers (Each contains six rockets & eight heat-seeking missiles. The launchers can themselves be fired off from the shoulders once emptied as a last resort)
*Absolute Zero Cannon: Kiryu's most devastating weapon is the Absolute Zero Cannon. Stored in its chest behind a trio of folding panels, the Absolute Zero Cannon fires a ball of energy that flash-freezes its target to Absolute Zero, thereby causing it to disintegrate under the weight of its own mass at the atomic level. Forty percent of Kiryu's power is devoted to using this weapon.
Intelligence: Varies when human-operated. Average when berserk (Controlled by the consciousness of the original Godzilla, Kiryu should have comparable intelligence. In Godzilla: Tokyo SOS, Godzilla's spirit took control over Kiryu again, but instead of going on a rampage like previously, it decided to peacefully go to the ocean instead of killing Godzilla.)
Weaknesses: Powered by a quintessential DNA computer that may cause Kiryu's "Godzilla side" to take over when Godzilla is placed in danger. Because it has limited power reserves, Kiryu can only be in action for at most two hours or less when the use of Absolute Zero is involved (Absolute Zero Cannon uses up 40% of Kiryu's total energy supply) | None notable; in Tokyo SOS, Kiryu doesn't have a "battery life" anymore, as he could keep going for as long as he needed.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Kiryu ▾=
*Twin Maser Cannon: Kiryu is equipped with the Type-99 Double Maser Cannon or Twin Maser Cannon a Maser Cannon mounted inside his mouth. While the cannon's output is relatively low, the Twin Maser beams possesses 240% of the destructive power of the Type-90 Maser Cannon. The cannon is powerful enough to harm Godzilla if targeted at his face or chest wound.
*Triple Hyper Maser Cannon: When Kiryu was repaired, his Absolute Zero was replaced with the Type-4 Triple Hyper Maser Cannon. While this attack was undeniably less powerful than the Absolute Zero, it proved crucial in defeating Godzilla, as Kiryu used it in conjunction with his Type-99 Double Maser Cannon to strike Godzilla's chest wound after it was reopened by the Spiral Claw, which critically injured Godzilla and left him helpless as the Mothra larvae encased him in silk. The hatch covering the Hyper Maser is equipped with claws that allowed Kiryu to restrain Godzilla and carry him out to sea.
*Absolute Zero Cannon: Kiryu's ultimate weapon is the Type-3 Absolute Zero Cannon, also known simply as the Absolute Zero, equipped in his chest hatch. As its name suggests, this weapon fires a beam that instantaneously freezes the target to absolute zero, the lowest theoretical temperature of -273.15 degrees Celsius or zero kelvin, at which all atoms cease movement. Because of this, a target struck by the Absolute Zero will be instantly frozen on an atomic level, smashing its atoms and causing it to collapse under its own weight. The Absolute Zero consumes 40% of Kiryu's energy reserves, and as such cannot be used heavily in combat.
*Physical capabilities: Kiryu is a capable brawler. His techniques include open-hand strikes, tail whips, powerful throws, and a high-speed flying ram which sent Godzilla soaring through the air yet left Kiryu completely unharmed.
*Super Speed: He proved agile enough to duck under a blast of Godzilla's atomic breath, then leap over his head to deliver a counterattack. His pilots also used his jet boosters to help execute a spinning throw and evade another atomic ray.
*Flight: Thanks to his rocket boosters, Kiryu is equipped with limited flight capabilities. He can change direction in midair by rotating his rocket boosters and using his tail like a rudder to steer. While in flight, Kiryu has the capability to use his momentum in combat by ramming into opponents. He can only fly for a short period of time due to the strain it places on his power reserves, so he is usually airlifted into battle by AC-3 White Herons.
|-|Battle Gear Kiryu ▾=
*Maser Blade: A small Maser Blade is stored inside each of Kiryu's Type-0 Railgun gauntlets. Kiryu uses this blade to stab Godzilla and deliver a strong electrical surge directly into his body.
*Type-0 Railguns: These railguns are relatively low-powered compared to Kiryu's other armaments, and they are typically used as preemptive strikes and in conjunction with other weapons. 
*Multipurpose Guided Missiles: Kiryu's Back Unit is also equipped with small ballistic homing rockets which are fired from its sides. In Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, these are Type-95 470 mm Multipurpose Guided Missiles.
*Multiple Interlocking Rockets: Kiryu can fire large Type-87 680 mm Multiple Interlocking Rockets or MRL 2 Mk. IV rockets from the front of the shoulder-mounted cannons on his Back Unit.
*Back Unit: Kiryu is equipped with a Back Unit, which possesses dual rocket launchers and boosters. Kiryu can fire two different types of rockets from the Back Unit, while the boosters grant him improved flight capabilities and the capacity to propel himself forward into an enemy at great speed. In Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, after the Back Unit was damaged, Kiryu jettisoned the Back Unit and sent it flying at Godzilla, which pushed him backward before he finally threw it to the side.
|-|Modified Type-3 Kiryu ▾=
*Spiral Claw: When Kiryu's right arm was replaced following his 2003 battle with Godzilla, he was given the ability to collapse his right hand into a rotating drill called the Type-4 Anti-Beast Drilling Device, also known as the Spiral Claw. This attack proved devastating to Godzilla when Kiryu used it to pierce the scar on Godzilla's chest and rotated it, reopening the wound and causing Godzilla immense pain.
*Type-4 Railguns: These railguns are relatively low-powered compared to Kiryu's other armaments, and they are typically used as preemptive strikes and in conjunction with other weapons. 
*Wire: Modified Type-3 Kiryu can deploy extremely strong metal wire from his body to bind another monster in conjunction with the claws on his chest hatch and allow him to transport it over long distances.
*Back Guide Missile Unit: In Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., the Back Unit was modified to specifically function as a guided missile. Kiryu was able to launch each half of the back unit at Godzilla separately. While Godzilla shot the first half down with his atomic breath, the other half collided with Godzilla and exploded, which succeeded in knocking Godzilla to the ground.
