* 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.

Intelligence: Gifted (She is an expert pilot of multiple advanced Mechas like Kiryu, knows complex combat techniques, how to operate a Maser Cannon, AC-3 White Heron, among others)
Weaknesses: Average Human weaknesses (Can be harmed by knives, bullets, etc). | None notable | None notable | 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).
