*Superhuman Physical Characteristics
*Combat Genius IntelligenceCheck Intelligence section for further justifications/scans
*Martial Arts and Weapon Mastery (Soshiro is an accomplished practitioner of the Squadron-Style Combat Technique, a style of hand-to-hand martial arts based on long-standing Kaiju slaying combat maneuvers,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 66 and Hoshina Style, a school of swordsmanship passed down by his clan since the Muromachi period.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 89 His close-quarters fighting ability is stated to be the strongest within the entire Defense Force multiple timesKaiju No. 8 Chapter 86Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 90 and even his entire family of kaiju-slayers, past or present.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 94 When it comes to the miniature-sized kaiju combat category for the Defense Force's neutralization exericises, Soshiro would always outperform Gen Narumi.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 57 His precision allows him to exploit the tiny gaps within Kaiju No. 10’s shell to damage the Daikaiju with as little strength as possible.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 27 Even after No. 10 had closed the gaps in its shell, Soshiro’s precision still allows him to target those closed areas, letting him weaken No. 10’s shell so that Kikoru could smash through it when she wouldn’t otherwise.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 30 He’s stated to be somewhat-versed in the Squadron-Style Axe Techniques, being able to teach Kikoru all of the techniques.Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 8 He possesses the ability to execute the Hoshina-style combat technique and has instructed Kafka on how to apply these elements to evolve the squadron-style combat technique in order to fight on par with, if not surpass, Isao’s perfected version. Additionally, this Evolved Squadron-Style Combat Technique has the ability to fool those like Kaiju No. 9, who is overly familiar with the original due to having Isao's memories, allowing the user to land a critical hit while they are confusedKaiju No. 8 Chapter 106)
*Acrobatics (Soshiro's fighting style is mostly centered on his acrobatics, which allow him to use hit-and-run strategies to debilitate his opponents before going for the finisher.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 27 Can perform the Squadron-Style Combat Technique, which requires the knowledge of the five basic types of stridingKaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 67)
*Accelerated Development (Despite his inexperience in dealing with giant-class threats unlike his captain, he is quick to adapt to Kaiju No. 10's change in size.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 14Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28 Soichiro Hoshina recalled that when Soshiro was younger, he would quickly close the skill gap between the two of them the more they sparred to the point where Soichiro was terrified and felt that he had to taunt Soshiro in order to demotivate him,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 94 despite the fact that he was hailed as the family's Ultimate IncarnationKaiju No. 8 Chapter 89 and older by five years)
*Damage Boost (In the verse, it is shown that fighting methods can bring a significant increase in power to the user, which enables them to overpower characters that are more powerful than they are.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 106 Not to mention that characters who can no-sell a person's regular attacks are openly seen evading themKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 78 and cutting through defenses that would otherwise destroy their weapon if they performed a regular attack.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 90 In addition, these fighting techniques offer a boost to speed because they are not only known for their speedKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 74 but also have the ability to blitz those who are able to respond and deflect their normal assaults, even if the user was faster than the character at the time.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80 As demonstrated by No. 10 feeling an overwhelming power flowing through its body upon its activation and being absolutely terrified by Soshiro's Eightfold Slasher,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 74 even though the other techniques were able to overpower it but did not cause the same reaction,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 27 the last technique—typically the sixth—of a fighting style is also demonstrated to offer an immense boost in contrast to the others. The evolved squadron-style combat technique has proven to be superior to that of Isao Shinomiya's perfected squadron-style combat technique, as Kafka could perform his attack far faster than No. 9's could and inflict damage that would have one-shot it if not for its inner shield, despite being able to withstand not only Kafka's squadron-style combat technique but also the impact of using Isao's perfected squadron-style combat techniqueKaiju No. 8 Chapter 106Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 107)
**Electricity Manipulation, Shockwave Generation and Limited Durability Negation via Squadron Style Combat TechniqueKaiju No. 8 Chapter 105Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 106Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 49
**Air Manipulation (Can create invisible sharp blade strikes with Hoshina StyleKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20)
**Enhanced Invisibility (The Air Slicer is an attack that even those who can perceive invisible blade strikes from his other Hoshina Style techniques, such as Kaiju No. 8, cannot detectKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20)
*Information Analysis and Analytical Prediction (Should scale above Rin Shinonome, who is capable of assessing her distance, identifying her opponents' rhythm and movements, and finding opportunities to disrupt and exploit them, which was effective against the likes of Kikoru Shinomoya as of the Kaiju Weapon Episode.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 55 Not only could Soshiro judge Kafka's development and nature from his physique and moves during their brief sparring session, but he could also identify and utilize Kafka's habits to outpredict him to the point that Kafka was unable to land a single hit despite his analytical prowess.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 21Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 66 Even though No. 10 and Soshiro was surrounded by multiple kaiju that were not only faster than it to the point of blitzing initially, predict their actions, and their Unleashed Combat Power rapidly dropping at a tremendous rate due to being out of sync with each other, both were nevertheless able to hold their own against them.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73 Predicted that his amp to 100% Full Release, the unconventional three-sword fighting style, and his new seventh technique would not be sufficient to neutralize No. 12 due to its adaptation, and enacted a triple-layered strategy in advance with Kaiju No. 10 that results in the two of them being able to outwit Kaiju No. 12 and hit it with a move that it would never anticipate receiving.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 93 Could predict a person’s movements through their tells, as shown during his kendo match with Kikoru ShinomiyaKaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 4)
*Supernatural Willpower and Instinctive Action (Characters such as Numbers Weapon Users and Daikaiju can use willpower to force their bodies to move and fight even if they are unable to control their own thoughts.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 62 With strong willpower, characters can withstand the fear instilled by a Daikaiju's aura, which is powerful enough to cause hallucination.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 45 Moreover, they can withstand the cellular strain caused by a Daikaiju's aura, where even a small amount of it can sap the strength of those who are exposed to it.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 59 It is also possible for them to move despite the fact that their bodies had not been responding to them previously, to regain their fading consciousness, and even to seize control of their bodiesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 37Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 104 after being subjected to possessionKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 36 through sheer willpower)
*Attack Deflection (In the verse, skilled CQC fighters have the ability to deflect attacks,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 47 which are typically physical attacks and projectiles, but also works on energy-based attacks as well, away from themselves by dodging the attacks and change their courses with precision.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20 This is true even if the attacks are significantly more powerfulKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80 and faster,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73 and they have the potential to kill the fightersKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 46 or destroy their weaponsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 44Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 45 if they come into direct contact with them. Even if they were to be injured, they can still redirect attacksKaiju No. 8 Chapter 111 that are powerful enough to vaporize and send them flying them on contactKaiju No. 8 Chapter 108)
*Enhanced Senses (Even without a suit, Captain-level fighters have a good awareness of their surroundings, able to sense someone sneakingKaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 69. Kaiju Weapon Episode Kikoru can react and deflect Kaiju No. 9's invisible concussive force with her senses, as No. 9 has evolved to the point where Kikoru is unable to predict its attacks through tells or experienceKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 44 and Soshiro is more skilled than her)
*Afterimage Creation (Even without a Defense Force Suit, Soshiro's speed allows him to create afterimagesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 23)
*Stealth Mastery (Soshiro's Fifth Technique is based on deception, tricking the opponent into thinking it is a dual x-shaped long range attack but it actually made of a third low attack from their blind spot.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20 Kaiju Weapon Episode Kikoru can surpriseKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 43 characters like Kaiju No. 9, who is capable of acting, fighting, and navigating without sightKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 15 or any senses in generalKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 50 and Soshiro is more skilled than her)

***Damage Boost (Through a burst of emotion, a Defense Force officer can boost the elemental potency of their rounds. Kaiju No. 9, a Daikaiju superior to Reno Ichikawa, chooses to use body shields to block Reno's enhanced freeze rounds instead of directly withstanding them,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 16 despite having previously resisted Reno's freeze roundsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 15)

**Acrobatics (All Japanese Defense Force officers are shown to be extremely agile to the point of avoiding point-blank attacks without the other person noticing,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 97Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 98 able to perform parkour,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 6 leapKaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 5 across carsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 50 and buildingsKaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 2 even with the addition of heavy equipment under enemy's fire,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 30 accelerateKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 6 without any issuesKaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 6 and make sharp turns without slowing down,Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 3 flipsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 52 that extend over tens of meters,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 101 and recover their balance.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 52 Even when surrounded by attacks from many directions, their agility allows officers to avoid them.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 62 Additionally, Defense Force officers has shown multiple times to launchKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 25 themselvesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 63 greatKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 62 distancesKaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 5 into the airKaiju No. 8 Chapter 102 and land perfectly fine without any injuries.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 31 They do not suffer any negative effects by moving in destroyed environments.Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 6 Vice-Captains and Captains are known for their inhuman movement,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20 even in the air,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 29 when compared to regular officers. In fact, Vice-Captain and Captain on Soshiro and Mina's level could run up on Giant-class Kaiju's arm and avoid multiple large punches from them whilst maintaining balance on the moving creature's arms every timeKaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28 and maintain their balance in the air even after being struck with an attack that destroyed their footing without losing their aim on their target and still manage to keep that balance whilst mid-air despite the recoil of their weaponsKaiju No. 8 Chapter 95)

**Accelerated Development (Training, Battle; Physical Statistics, Abilities. Defense Force officers with the potential or ability to scale the wall that people hit with unleash combat powers at 20-30% are able to grow far faster than a BoS Iharu that he can't keep up and are comparable to Reno during the Sagamihara Operation, the former with a mind capable of absorbing everything he studies and making remarkable gains in strength every time he trains to the point he felt invincible and his potential seemed limitless,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 61 and the latter with the ability to grow at such a rate mid-battle that people stronger than him are unable to keep up with him and were quickly surpassed.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 13Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 14Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 16)

*General Abilities
**Aura, Fear Inducement and Hallucination Causation (Overwhelming, Fear-Inducing. Users of Numbers Weapons can release a Daikaiju-like aura, which can have negative effects when others attempt to connect with the user or detect their power/presence.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 35 Numbers Weapons are created from the corpses of Identified Kaiju, whose aura is so powerful that it is automatically sensed by those capable of detection, as shown when Kafka's detection ability activates without his consent upon No. 10's transformation to its Fortitude 9.0 form.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28 Even someone as resistant to Daikaiju's aura as Kafka Hibino felt disoriented by it and had to clutch his head after Isao activate his aura which automatically activated Kafka's detection ability.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 35 Even a small amount of a Daikaiju's aura can sap a person's strength, and even if they try to resist the draining effect with the strength of will alone, they will then see the image of the Identified Kaiju, which possesses such a meancing presence that it ultimately renders the person unconscious within seconds due to cellular-level strain.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 59 Daikaiju's aura can augment a person's fears to the point of causing hallucinations, one powerful enough to have prevented Kafka Hibino from transforming until he overcame his own fearKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 45)
**Limited Corruption involving Mind, Madness, Empathy, Morality, Pain and Biological Manipulation (Corruption - Type 1 & 2, Madness - Types 1 & 2. Anybody who tries to sync with a daikaiju's massive energy and cells without proper training will experience brain stimulation that causes an abnormal spike in their neurotransmitter levels as well as transmission rate. As a result, a person's basic human nature and desires emerge. Depending on their personality, the impulse may be strong enough to destroy their body. Furthermore, the toll of this energy and cells has been noted to be sufficient to cause constant pain to the point of being unable to control their own rampant thoughts. It can also cause mental instability and make people slaves to their distorted emotions until their bodies can no longer keep upKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 62Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 63)
**Statistics Amplification (Similar to Daikaiju, Numbers Weapon Users can also harden the armor of their suit, increasing their durability.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73 With proper training, Numbers Weapons Users can experience brain stimulations that causes an abnormal spike in their neurotransmitter levels as well as their transmission rates without suffering from negative consequencesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 62)
**Reactive Evolution (A Numbers Weapon Suit has demonstrated the capacity to respond to the user's desire and instinctive nature. In Reno's case, his suit responded to his desire for more power by increasing his Unleashed Combat Power at a rapid rate surpassing anything his previous growth rate has demonstrated and even increase the effectiveness of his cold energy, allowing him to outpace a Mole Type 67 Honju's regeneration when previously he was unable to do so.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 61Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 62 In Kikoru's case, her suit responded to her desire to emulate and surpass her mother by enabling her to see her mother as a ghost from Kaiju No. 4's memories.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 79Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80 Additionally, in Kikoru's case, due to Kafka believing in her, she was able to move her body whilst under the influence of Kaiju No. 15's Mind Hack from one-neuron-like tendril, before later resisting, manipulating and destroying it despite being stabbed with three neuron-like tendrils this time as a result of her strong desire to be recognized by everyone she met in the Third and First Divisions.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 81Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 84 In Gen's case, the suit responded to his desire to not only impress but also surpass his former master Isao Shinomiya by allowing him to see the ghost of his former master in Kaiju No. 11, motivating him to such an extent that he evolved his RT-0001 weapon in the midst of battle, which even Kaiju No. 1 couldn't achieve, due to his utter refusal to let Isao go once again while he was ahead of him.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 86Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 87 In Soshiro's case, the suit responded to his desire to not lose to anyone when it comes to the blade, even to his perfect older brother Soichiro, as it is the proof of his existence, and thus, when using single blade-form, specialty of Soichiro, his attacks gain a tremendous boost in both power and speed, allowing him to harm, outmaneuver and blitz opponents that he can't defeat, much less land a single clean hit, with his usual dual-blade form like Kaiju No. 12.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 89Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 90 In the cases of Isao and Soshiro, their respective desires to protect and have fun provided them with a tremendous boost to their statistics,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 92 even more so than the boost from a Defense Force fighting style's Sixth Technique,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 74 allowing them to even hold back opponents who were previously capable of overpowering them not long ago and are constantly growing strongerKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 50)
**Instinctive Action (Numbers Weapons' abilities are shown to be capable of acting on their own even when the wielder is unable to control their thoughtsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 62)
**Air Manipulation (Numbers Weapon Users' and Daikaiju's attacks are demonstrated to generate strong air pressures that enable them to injure opponents even when the attack is blocked or countered.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 35Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 50Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 78Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 81Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 88 The attacks performed seem to be invisible to the naked eyeKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 25 with even a partial transformed Kafka Hibino being unable to see itKaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 35)
*Numbers Weapon 10-specificCheck Standard Equipment section for further justifications/scans
**Empowerment (Because Numbers Weapon 10 lacks a functional neurosync like the other Numbers Weapons, Soshiro's Unleashed Combat Power varies depending on how in sync he is with Kaiju No. 10, and can either fall or riseKaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 74)
**Additional Limbs (Numbers Weapon 10 includes a long mechanical tail,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 72 which can stretch to reach far away enemies.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 74 The tail can still be controlled even if it is severedKaiju No. 8 Chapter 93)
**Multiple Selves (Type 3. Numbers Weapon 10 was created from Kaiju No. 10's body while it was still alive, making it the first ever case of a sentient weapon as it can speak and move on its own as illustrated hereKaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73 and hereKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 74 without Soshiro's input. As a result, Soshiro Hoshina and Kaiju No. 10 coexist in a symbiotic relationship)
**Limited Telepathy (No. 10 and Soshiro are capable of reading each other thoughtsKaiju No. 8 Chapter 93)
**Greater Damage Boost (Via Number Seven: 12-Layered StrikeKaiju No. 8 Chapter 93)

*Acid Manipulation (Wearers of the Defense Force Suit are protectedKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 13 from the highly corrosive acids within a kaiju's organs that can melt through protective clothing and human skin.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 1 Furthermore, it has the ability to shield welders from the saliva of a kaiju of the lizard variety, which is of a highly acidic nature since it can melt bodies down to their bonesKaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 2 as well as ironKaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 4)
*High and Low Temperatures (Defense Force Suits protect wearers from temperatures near or below freezing, allowing them to withstand the passive freezing cold energy of Kaiju No. 6Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 59/Numbers Weapon 6.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 60 Additionally, the suits can protect wearers from high temperatures, such as super-high temperature steam, which requires temperatures above 213 degrees Fahrenheit.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28 Numbers Weapons allows wearer to withstand Kaiju No. 15’s Energy Beam at point-blank range,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 79 which is hot enough to vaporized concrete, metal and multiple Defense Force officers from a distanceKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 77)
*Information Analysis and Analytical Prediction (Despite No. 9's analytical prowess, which prevents any strike it has already witnessed from working again,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 17 Kaiju Weapon Episode Kikoru's level of skill left No. 9 unable to defend against her barrage of attacks,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 44 making her comparable to a Kaiju No. 8 who could do the same with No. 9 stating it couldn't see through his attacks,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 52 and Soshiro is more skilled than her)
*Corruption involving Mind, Madness, Empathy, Morality, Pain and Biological Manipulation (Corruption - Type 1 & 2, Madness - Types 1 & 2. Can withstand a Daikaiju's massive energy and cells, causing brain stimulation and an abnormal spike in neurotransmitter levels as well as transmission rate. As a result, a person's basic human nature and desires emerge. Depending on their personality, the impulse may be strong enough to destroy their body. Furthermore, the toll of this energy and cells has been noted to be sufficient to cause constant pain to the point of being unable to control their own rampant thoughts. It can also cause mental instability and make people slaves to their distorted emotions until their bodies can no longer keep upKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 62Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 63)
*Power Absorption (Unlike ordinary kaiju, a Daikaiju's power, which is utilized to construct Numbers Weapons, cannot be adjusted so that any human can obtain and draw from; instead, a person whose cells are compatible with the Daikaiju the weapon is produced from is necessary to sync with the weapon. Furthermore, despite employing the Daikaiju's body as the foundation for the weapon, it is not totally possible to replicate the Daikaiju's full power.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 35Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 38Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 58Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 64 It is stated that Soshiro’s Quick-Slash Techniques are not some trick that can be pull off through mimicryKaiju No. 8 Chapter 90)

*Freeze Grenades: A type of grenade that explodes a few seconds after being thrown, freezing everything in its path.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 82
*Gun(s): As a Defense Force officer, Soshiro is armed with the two types of standard gun weaponry of the Defense Force, a handgun and rifle, however, due to his unleashed combat power for marksman weaponry being low,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28 he rarely uses gun weaponry. The rifle resembled the SIG MCX VIRTUS Patrol, which is outfitted with a red dot magnifier and suppressor. Officers carried handguns that resembled the GLOCK 17 Gen4 and are outfitted with a tactical light and reflex sight. Additionally, Defense Force's gun weaponry are equipped with , a socket that houses kaiju organs with special attributes or secretions. Here are the examples of the AoE that these bullets can produce. Currently, four varieties of Kaiju-enhanced rounds are known: 
**Burst Round: Burst rounds are capable of generating explosions upon contact that are hot enough to melt bonesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 30 and vaporize the body parts, leaving naught but droplets of blood.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 1Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 108 These rounds can affect even the Daikaiju class, depending on the level of strength an officer can generate, which is usually captain-grade strength. If these rounds enter a target’s body directly through an entrance, such as a mouthKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 6 or an open wound,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 39 a series of internal explosions occur, eventually accumulating into a single huge explosion that destroy the creature from the inside.
**Freeze Round: Even if an opponent is physically stronger and larger than the user, these rounds have the ability to flash freeze them, encasing the afflicted parts in solid ice.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 72 Additionally, these rounds can also slow down the target's movementsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 13 due to the lower temperatures. These rounds have proven to be equally effective against cold-resistant enemies like Wyvern-type Kaiju, potent enough to freeze and defeat them.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 26Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 27 Furthermore, these rounds have the ability to thoroughly freeze targets' skin, rendering it less resilient than before and making it easier for strikes to shatter them, when previously they could resist multiple attacks of the same kind.Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 2
**Conductor Round: Even if an enemy is physically stronger and largerKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 63 than the user, the targets are rendered paralyzed by these rounds upon impact. Additionally, this sort of round's discharge has the potential to produce chain lightning that extends to nearby targets.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 16
**Flash Round: These rounds are essentially used as flares.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 16Kaiju No. 8 Anime Episode 4
Custom Weapon(s):- 
*Dual Blades: Marked SW-2033 and provided by Izumo Tech, Soshiro's custom weapons consist of two dual blades.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 14 Furthermore, because custom weapons are only distributed to captains, who are the strongest combatants within their division, as well as officers with exceptional combat skills,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 26 it can be inferred that they are more powerful than standard Defense Force weaponry. He is shown to have multiple swords as a backup.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 89
*Numbers Weapon 10: Soshiro's custom Numbers weapon, provided by Izumo Tech, is a special combat suit crafted from the corpse of Kaiju No. 10. This suit has light-purple scale-like armor with green outlines, a long mechanical tail, and No. 10's signature eye in the middle of the chest plate. It is the first Numbers weapon in the history of the Defense Force that has a will of its own. The suit also increases his metrics far beyond that of the standard combat suits of the Defense Force.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73
*Katana: Marked SW-1023, Soshiro uses a single katana as a secret weapon if he runs into trouble neutralizing enemies with his dual-blade form, despite this being a weapon usually wielded by his brother.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 89 He is shown to have multiple katanas as a back up.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 90
Intelligence: 
Combat Genius. Soshiro is the Vice-Captain of the Third Division of the Defense Force and a very powerful combatant, able to release up to 92% of his suit's power and thus proving that he is capable of scaling the wall that people hit with unleashed combat powers, a wall that only a few can scale, since most officers will end their careers with their unleashed combat powers capped at 20 or 30%, unable to push beyond that no matter how hard they strive or how great their accelerated development is, such as Iharu.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 14Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 16 Despite his laid-back appearance, Soshiro is quite intelligent and intuitive, as he was the only one who correctly identified Kafka Hibino as Kaiju No. 8, and one of the main reasons he accepted him in the Third Division despite failing the exam was to keep an eye on him and carefully observe his movements.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 10 As the vice-captain of the Third Division, Soshiro has shown excellent leadership skills, able to guide a whole platoon and multiple officers on the battlefield during major battles.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 12
Soshiro is an extremely skilled swordsman who hails from a family of kaiju slayers dating back to the Muromachi period.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 14 He will strive to gauge an opponent's capabilities before going all out,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 23 making full use of his sword cutting techniques he has cultivated since he was young to exploit blind spotsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73 as well as slash them with great speed and precision, as proven when he was able to bypass the toughness of Kaiju No. 10's shell by cutting through the tiny gaps within it,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 27 which Soshiro could even do when caught off guard.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 26 He also displayed his precision by cutting the shell of Gigantification Kaiju No. 10 to such an extent that characters who could not previously scratch its hide with their strongest strike could now smash it with an ordinary attack.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 30 His usual style is dual-wielding his SW-2033s in combat, utilizing the reverse grip to provide a more diverse range of strikes. According to his father, a young Soshiro would’ve been lauded as a prodigy in the Edo period, the golden age of traditional Japanese kenjutsu, due to his already extraordinary mastery in swordsmanship.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 29 While his skill set puts him at a disadvantage against large-sized kaiju, Soshiro's proficiency in defeating small to mid-sized kaiju in battle surpasses that of the Captain of the First Division, "Japan's Strongest Anti-Kaiju Combatant", Gen Narumi,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 57 even when the captain possesses RT-0001. Along with Gen Narumi, Soshiro boasts the highest level of expertise in close quarters combat within the whole Defense Force, should also be capable of repelling multiple automatic homing attacks that can outpace him from all directions.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 86Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 90 Has been stated that he been building up outrageous experience since he was a child, step by step, slowly and steadily in order to resist his own fate as being the shadow of his perfect older brother.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 90 Additionally, Soshiro's assaults can induce delayed reaction prior to the main series as a rookie officer, as demonstrated by him slicing through opponents without their body understanding they have been badly cut until it is too late.Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 2 When faced with projectiles, Soshiro’s plan is to utilizes his surroundings to his advantage to disguise his movements and move stealthily until he can get the target within range.Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 2 He could easily outskill and defeat Post Sagamihara Neutralization Operation Aoi Kaguragi, Iharu Furuhashi, Reno Ichikawa, Kafka Hibino, and Kikoru Shinomiya in sparring kendo sessions; some of these opponents had trained since middle school or had served in the military.Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 1Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 4
Captain and Vice-Captain level fighters are stated to be more than capable of defeating a Fortitude 6.4 in solo combat, even though just a Fortitude 6.4 Kaiju is so dangerous that neutralizing just one would require an entire company of general officers from the Third Division.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 7 General Officers from the Third Division possess Unleashed Combat Powers around 20-30%,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 5 making them more skilled than JSDF military officers, such as Aoi Kaguragi, who was recognized as the military's rising star when he first joined the Defense Force, not to mention capable of holding their own against kaijuKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 75 who is not only intelligent enough to predict Soshiro’s movement but is fast enough to blitz him and knock him away when using 51% of Numbers Weapon 10's power — meaning that these kaiju are more than capable of blitzing and one-shotting the general officersKaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73 — and neutralize them. In addition, he could hold his own against Identified-Kaiju Class Threat such as Kaiju No. 8, who admittedly held back in fear of harming the vice-captain,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20 and Kaiju No. 10,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 27 both whose combat abilities far exceed those of a regular Daikaiju, whose possesses fortitude levels above 8.0, because while there are just under 30 officers in the Japanese Defense Force, which should have roughly the same number of members as the Japan-Self Defense Force, and less than ten in terms of solo combat capable of fighting Daikaiju, the number drops even lower when up against an Identified Kaiju-Class Threat as they requires several officers with captain-grade strength.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 38Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 77 To further elucidate on their combat abilities, just five Identified Kaiju-Class Threats together are stated to be well beyond what the Eastern Division can handle on their own,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 77 which included the First Division, the strongest key division of the Defense Force, famous even overseas for its exceptional power.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 39
Although not his main style, he is capable of using Isao Shinomiya's fighting style, Squdaron-style combat technique, with great proficiency and easily overpowering Kafka in their sparring session, as Kafka was unable to land or dodge his strikes despite his analytical prediction.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 66 Kafka surpasses Kaiju No. 9, who possesses Isao's fighting style, due to Soshiro's mastery of a different combat technique from his family. He utilizes this technique to evolve the Squdaron-style combat technique and instructs Kafka in their efforts to surpass Isao Shinomiya, who is known as the combat technique's strongest practitioner.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 106 He is also proficient with grappling techniques.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 23Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 65Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 66
Additionally, Soshiro has proven that he is a very intelligent man, both on and off the battlefield. Despite Kaiju No. 10's unexpected enlargement, he was able to quickly adjust to its new size.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28 He can also be quite crafty and strategic in combat, as evidenced by his initial targeting of the gaps in No. 10's shell to fool the kaiju into thinking he couldn't cut the daikaiju without using a cheap little trick, but it was just a diversion so No. 10 would underestimate him and let down its guard.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 27 Can reflect on past battles to determine what went wrong and what he can do differently the next time, and can recreate them with perfect accuracy, even fully immersing himself in the memory, essentially creating a rematch within his mindscape.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 23 When he fought Kaiju No. 8 for the first time, he could tell from its movements and reactions that he was fighting a human rather than a kaiju.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 21 Just from observing Kafka's moves and physique, Soshiro could tell that Kafka had become stronger since leaving the Third Division and hadn't missed a single day of training, and also identify his habits during their short sparring session.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 66 He is shown explaining, in detail, the catastrophes that Kaiju No. 9 caused as well as its abilities to the Eastern Division of the Defense ForceKaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 57 and is able to deduce the location of No. 9's whereabouts.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 58 He also enjoys planning for the future, as evidenced by his request to Konomi Okonogi to create a new secret weapon in case Kaiju No. 9 saw his encounter with Kaiju No. 10 and devised a counter for his Dual-Blade Form, which Soshiro was later proven to be right in the form of Kaiju No. 12.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 89
As a member of the Defense Force, they are the basic knowledge that is taught to each member. Soshiro has been trained to search and attack his opponents' weak spots in order to incapacitate them as soon as possibleKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 13 because Kaiju have demonstrated a near immunity to pain and injury in comparison to humans, as they have a core instead of a frail human heart.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 38 Officers are also taught how to use the flanking maneuver in battle, whether it be singleKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 60 or against a group of adversaries.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73 He has also been taught that when facing a superior opponent, accuracy in shooting, or in Soshiro's case, accuracy in slashing, means everything.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 69 In the Defense Force, officers are instructed in various martial arts, such as kendo, judo, bōjutsu, and possibly others.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 55Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 68Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 86 When fighting airborne targets like Wyvern-type Kaiju, Defense Force officers are taught to target their wings to prevent flight via means like Freeze Rounds.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 26Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 27 Defense Force officers are also well-versed in human and kaiju anatomy, allowing them to target specific parts of the body if necessary.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 30 In terms of weapon skill, Defense Force officers are skilled enough to direct a kaiju's path to minimize casualties to buildings and civilians, isolating them so that officers don't have to hold back due to concern for the lives of others, thin out their superior numbers, or lead them into traps or ambushes.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 14Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 39Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 41 Officers are shown to be willing to use their surroundings, hide their movements, and ambush their opponents by employing methods such as using objects as cover and smokescreens generated by an attack.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 82 Adaptability is a crucial quality for someone to possess when dealing with Kaiju, as officers are assessed on their ability to take initiative and modify their skills to the challenges at hand upon joining the Defense Force.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 5 Defense Force Officers' marksmanship permits them to land headshots on targets that, according to Soshiro Hoshina, move exceedingly quickly.Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 2 In addition, officers use bullseye shooting to hone their marksmanship.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 11 When confronted with Kaiju that are either too swift or too strong to harm, officers learn to combine the appropriate parts of their standard weaponry to deal with them and not just rely on a specific weapon as it can trip one up. For example, they may use freezing rounds to slow down a Kaiju's movement while also weakening its defenses, making previously unsuccessful attacks pierce through.Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 7 When facing Kaiju, who typically dwarf humans, the initial instruction is to target the legs, as the goal is to bind them and prevent them from moving.Kaiju No. 8 Anime Episode 1
In addition to his own intelligence, due to being made from the body of a living kaiju, Numbers Weapon 10 is the only case of "sentient weapon", with the suit containing the conscience of Kaiju No. 10 and thus being able to speak and move on its own without Soshiro's inputs,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73 enabling the two to essentially multitask while on the battlefield.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 74 
When wearing a Numbers Weapon Combat Suit, wearers are stated to be a daikaiju in human form,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 50Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 71 meaning they should at least possess skills comparable to a restrained Kaiju No. 8, who could hold his own against him in a regular suit, where he is already a highly skilled kaiju slayer whose skills against miniature and midsize kaiju surpass those of the Captain of the Strongest Division in the Defense Force, "Japan's Strongest Anti-Kaiju Combatant", Gen Narumi, as he could resist an onslaught from Soshiro by dodging his blades and changing their course with precision despite being the slower of the two.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20 Despite struggling for control of his movements with Kaiju No. 10, which causes their Unleashed Combat Power to rapidly drop by the second, they were able to parry attacks from a swarm of kaiju, which are intelligent enough to predict their actions, physically superior to them and capable of blitzing them as well, all from different angles simultaneously while having no footings;Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73 however, when their movements were in sync, Soshiro and Kaiju No. 10 were able to effortlessly outclass and kill the pack of kaiju together with their leader, whose skills should be greater than the other kaiju, head-on despite being outnumbered and surrounded.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 74 Soshiro's skills enable him to hold his own for a protracted amount of time against a kaiju who not only outshines a full power Kaiju No. 10, an opponent Soshiro is stated to be unable to defeat by himself,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28 in strength, speed and combat abilityKaiju No. 8 Chapter 88 not to mention possesses greater sword skills than Soshiro's Dual-Blade Form as well.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 81 Despite Kaiju No. 12 being able to move so quickly that Soshiro would have been blitzed and killed if Kaiju No. 10 hadn't warned him of Kaiju No. 12's attack in advance, he showed that he could harm, outmaneuver and blitz Kaiju No. 12 at extreme close quarters combat with his Single-Blade Form,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 89Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 90 something he couldn't do with Dual-Blade Form at all.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 88 Even though Kaiju No. 12 adapted exceptionally quickly to his Single-Blade Form, Soshiro demonstrated his ability to combine both his Dual Blade Form and Single-Blade Form, replicating techniques that requires two swords with just a single katana, to catch it off guard and continue harming, outmaneuvering and blitzing the kaiju.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 90 In mid-battle, Soshiro devised a triple-layered strategy, which Kaiju No. 10 described it as a pretty fun idea coming from a stickler like him, to outwit Kaiju No. 12 in a situation where even a single screw-up would result in his death, utilizing his current suit condition to his advantage as it will allow Kaiju No. 10 to wield one of SW-1023 via the wires protruding from the damaged tail and effectively creating a three-sword style to first confuse the daikaiju and even after it had adapted to it, Soshiro continue to pressure it further by creating a new technique on the spot, not for the purpose of finishing the daikaiju as he predicted it wouldn't work but merely as a camouflage to hide his action of cutting off Numbers Weapon 10's tail while Kaiju No. 12 is focusing on Soshiro so that No. 10 as the severed tail can attack its now exposed core uninterrupted.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 93 The fact that Soshiro Hoshina defeated an Identified Kaiju, which requires several officers with Captain-Grade Strength,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 77 alone did not surprise his older brother and Sixth Division Captain, Soichiro Hoshina, who asserted that it would be foolish to engage his younger brother in close combat. This is because despite his lack of proficiency with firearms and has the strength of only a Vice-Captain, Soshiro is a prodigy who excels in the use of a blade and surpasses all members of the Hoshina Family, past and present, including himself,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 94 who is referred to as the family's Ultimate Incarnation,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 89 their father who was highly admired by a younger Soshiro as he could defeat multitude of Kaiju with his top notch sword skills and rise to the rank of platoon leaderKaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 3 and numerous past members of the Hoshina Family during the Meireki Era who did not have access to modern gun weaponry and thus focuses heavily on melee weapons to fight against even giant-sized Daikaiju-threats.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 66
Soshiro has demonstrated that he is a superior gamer outside of battle, trouncing Gen Narumi accidentally in a game he had never played before.
Weaknesses: Overheating can be caused by the abuse or prolonged use of the power of the combat suit, which can weaken the wearer and induce physical agony to the point where they bleed.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 30Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 63Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 3 Repeated usage of a Numbers weapon puts a lot of strain on the user's body and shaves years off their lives that could ultimately be fatal.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 44 
Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
Hoshina Style: Founded by the members of the Hoshina Family, the Hoshina Style is the school of swordsmanship and martial art passed down by the clan since the Muromachi period. This swordsmanship style involves both a Dual-Blade Form and a Single-Blade Form. Furthermore, the style possesses two main repertoire of techniques, which can occasionally be used together. With no apparent consequences thus far in the series, it is more than feasible for the officer to spam these techniques one after the other.
*Sword-Slay Technique: The Sword-Slay Technique is a style mainly centered on swing attacks, consisting of six forms, plus a seventh one created by Soshiro:
**Number One: Air Slicer: An air slash performed so swift and smooth that it is undetectable to people who can perceive his other invisible slashes, preventing the opponent from perceiving the attack even if they were fast enough to dodge Soshiro’s blades until it is too late.
**Number Two: Cross Slasher: A crossed dual attack able to target and penetrate the small gaps on the opponent's body.
**Number Three: Return Slasher: While running, Soshiro throws a twisting crossed attack.
**Number Four: Wild Slasher: An attack consisting of multiple sword slashes from various angles.
**Number Five: Mist Slasher: This attack is disguised as a dual x-shaped invisible long-range attack but is actually made of a third surprise low attack from the side.
**Number Six: Eightfold Slasher: Presumably his strongest attack prior to Number Seven, usually used as a finisher. An eight-pointed slash attack.
**Number Seven: 12-Layered Strike: A special attack that was developed by Soshiro and is only available to him. With the assistance of the tail of Numbers Weapon 10, Soshiro is able to wield three swords and unleash a powerful onslaught of twelve strikes on the adversary. This attack should be far superior to the sixth technique, as Soshiro claimed before to gaining Full Release with Numbers Weapon 10 that the technique was nothing more than an armchair thoery.

*Quick-Slash Technique:The Quick-Slash Technique is a style centered around quick-draw attacks, consisting of six forms:
** Number One: Haze Draw: A quick-draw frontal attack, performed with a swing and then a downward slash.
**Number Two: Wind-Hole: A frontal thrust with the tip of the sword that generates enough air pressure to puncture a gaping hole in the opponent's body.
**Number Three: Reverse Clap: A quick downward slash from the side.
**Unnamed Number Six technique.

*Combat Technique: Soshiro has stated that these techniques are essentially a highly guarded secret. Only members of the Hoshina family inherit these techniques. It is possible to incorporate elements of the Hoshina style in order to evolve another technique, such as the squadron-style combat technique. One of the techniques involves sinking your body into an extended stride and twisting into a spiral to add force.
Squadron-Style Combat Technique: Officers in the Defense Force who gain access to powerful weapons use specific repertoires of techniques, named Squadron Style. Going from armed to hand-to-hand combat, the Squadron Style is a Defense Force-exclusive fighting style learned and used by the officers in battle. Despite the absence of weapons, the style remains effective. Overall, most of the styles involve six techniques, each of which has been meticulously honed to slay Kaiju and is more than able to be utilized one after the other with no apparent consequences to the practitioner's body. The combat technique is one of the many techniques within this style. This fighting technique's foundation is derived from the lower body, where the user channels the power created by the legs into their fists. He should also have access to the modified techniques, as he taught Kafka Hibino the Hoshina Style Combat Technique, which evolved the Squadron-Style Combat Technique into the Variant Technique, intentionally designed to confuse those familiar with the original fighting style and deliver a critical hit while they are disoriented.
*Number Two: Force Blast: While not as powerful as when Isao used it, Soshiro can perfectly replicate Force Blast.
