Kaiju Physiology (Kaiju No. 8)

==Summary==
In the Kaiju No. 8 series, enormous creatures known as "Kaiju" are portrayed assaulting cities and people all over the world, with Japan being termed “The Land of Kaiju” since it is the nation with the highest monster emergence rates. They exist in a variety of sizes and shapes, and each one of them has a unique set of characteristics, with some of them being more humanoid than others. Every kaiju has a core, which is their vital organ and weakness, located inside their body. However, because every kaiju is of a distinct sort, the core's placement varies according to the type of kaiju.
Every single kaiju gets their abilities from their “Uni-organ”, which is an organ that contains their particular abilities. It is extremely uncommon to come across kaiju that are identical to one another since, despite their shared characteristics, each kaiju boasts a unique set of talents and powers. Super strength, proliferative abilities, and high degrees of tenacity are among the powers that the majority of kaiju share. Not only can some of them fly, by wings or otherwise, but the more advanced ones can even learn human language and use it to communicate.
It is unknown about the mechanisms behind Kaiju emergences, but studies in recent years have given credibility to the theory that the immense energy and strain produced by faults in the planet act upon underground substances and nearby plants and animals to produce Kaiju.
Humanity has established a military force known as the “Defense Force” in order to counteract the danger that these beasts present. This organization is capable of assessing a Kaiju's power and threat to civilization based on its energy emissions, after which a “Fortitude Level” is assigned. Kaiju are then categorized power-wise based on their fortitude level.
While the most prominent and threatening Kaiju that emerge are called “Honju”, or “main beasts”, the creatures that accompany them when they emerge are called “Yoju”, or “residual beasts”. Furthermore, the word "Daikaiju" is used to refer to the Kaiju that are generally considered to be the most powerful that have ever existed.
However, the Neutralization Bureau will give a kaiju—usually a Daikaiju—a numbered code name for identification if it is determined to be extremely strong or difficult to neutralize. The term "Identified Kaiju" is frequently used to describe these kaiju. Kafka Hibino, the series' protagonist and the first unneutralized target since the Defense Force's founding, is referred to as "Kaiju No. 8" for this reason.
==General Abilities/Resistances==
===All Kaiju (Yoju, Honju & Daikaiju)===
Every kind of Kaiju has the following abilities and/or resistances:
<tabber>
|-|Abilities=
*Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Kaiju are beings endowed with incredible strength—a single blow can break an adult male human’s bonesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 1 and/or give them internal damageKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 6—and durability. Even the smallest of their kind can burst through concrete wallsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 6 and cause infrastructural damage just by racing forwardKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 12 with such force that it can be visible from tens of meters distant.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 2 Depending on the potency of their skin and/or bones, Kaiju have the ability to stop bulletsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 34 such as burst roundsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8: B-Side Chapter 6 from Defense Force Officers and static electricity,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8: B-Side Chapter 7 as well as prevent sharp weaponsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 25 such as chainsawsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 1 from cutting through them in an effective manner.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 55 Furthermore, it is said that Kaiju do not possess a heart like a human or even an animal but rather something that is referred to as a core.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 34 This core is not only strong enough that Kafka manages to still live despite taking direct damage which cannot be said for a human,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 37Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 38 but it also provides Kaiju with resistance to attacks that are designed to target a heart. Without specialized gears, it is heavily implied that it is impossible for normal humans to harm Kaiju without using kaiju powerKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8: B-Side Chapter 9)
*Longevity (When compared to humans, kaiju are capable of aging at a far faster rate, which allows them to reach their primeKaiju No. 8 Chapter 85 before they are able to remain in their prime for as long as hundreds of yearsKaiju No. 8 Chapter 104)
*Acrobatics (Stated that there is a difference in jumping powers between humans and kaiju as shown with Kafka and Reno.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 1 Thanks to this difference, kaiju are more than capable of jumping higherKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 19 than multi-story buildings.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 86 Even a Kaiju wannabe such as Bakko could travel from building to buildingKaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 30 as well as maintain its balance in the air even after being struck with an attack that destroyed their footing and still manage to keep that balance while mid-air despite the recoil of weaponsKaiju No. 8 Chapter 95)
*Bodily Weaponry (Kaiju are equipped with teeth that can let them biteKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 1 through otherKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 21 living thingsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 2 or house foundationsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8: B-Side Chapter 6 and stop bladed weapons,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20 as well as vicious claws that are capable of tearing through concrete wallsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 2)
*Biological Absorption (Kaiju are capable of consuming other living creatures and converting them into energyKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 26)
*Limited Acid Manipulation and Corrosion Inducement (When handling Kaiju, people must wear protective clothes due to the acidic nature of its biological fluid, yet a concentrated quantity has the potential to burn through such gearKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 1)
*Energy Emission (When utilizing kaiju power,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8: B-Side Chapter 9 one are capable of generating electricity that not only destroy one's surroundingsKaiju No. 8 Chapter 82 but can also hurtKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 39 and paralyzeKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 37 those who come into contact with it)
*Surface Scaling (In the same way that officers of the Defense Force are able to stickKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 25 and run on vertical surfacesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 61 without being affected by gravity due to their suit, Kaiju ought should be able to perform feats that are comparable to these. Kaiju No. 8Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 99 and Kaiju No. 10Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 26 provides additional evidence in support of this)
*Forcefield Creation and Damage Reduction (As stated here,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 76 all kaiju are capable of projecting a shield, which can cover the entire body.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 94 It should be possible for kaiju to concentrate their shield on a single spot to increase its efficiency there and so lessen damageKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 7 since the Defense Force Suits' shield functions because of the kaiju cells and muscle fibers)
*Self-Healing (Kaiju are stated to possess restorative abilities,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 21 which the Defense Force utilizes to create technologies that allows one to recover from deep injuriesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 7 or major organ damageKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 37Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 38) and Regeneration [Low-Mid] (As a wannable Kaiju, Bakko is shown capable of regenerating lost limbs and holes blasted through his torso,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 103 so other Kaiju should be able to do the same. Kaiju are more than capable of regenerating destroyed organs, such as their uni-organ.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 7 As a Kaiju’s Fortitude level increases, the faster their regeneration capabilities increases.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 61 Additionally, it is shown that depending on how fast a Kaiju’s regeneration is, then they are capable of withstanding ice-based attacksKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 61 that freezes an adversary both externally and internallyKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 60)
*Life Creation via Biological Manipulation (Upon maturing and entering their breeding phase, Kaiju are capable of creating Kaiju of their kindKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 12 from their bodiesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 14)
*Enhanced Senses
**Telescopic and Neutral Vision (Due to the enhanced senses of a Kaiju, Kafka is able to see from afarKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 19 and perceive invisible slashesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20)
**Enhanced Smell (Kaiju are implied to have heightened senses of smell, as evidenced by a professional cleanup worker cutting himself to divert a kaiju's attention away from his daughterKaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 70)
**Enhanced Awareness (Even though its consciousness is contained within Numbers Weapon 10, and it is facing in the other direction, Kaiju No. 10 is aware of its surroundings and can thus detect approaching threats.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 74 Furthermore, despite the fact that the Crustacean-type Kaiju was hiding inside the home, it was able to detect Kikoru Shinomiya and attempted to sneak attack her when she drew close to it.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8: B-Side Chapter 6 Additionally, since Daikaiju possesses the ability to hide their eyes and still locate their target,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 15 it can be assume that is the case because kaiju can sense where their opponents are)
**Enhanced Hearing (When Kaiju possesses rudimentary eyes or no eyes at all, their sense of hearing becomes hyperdeveloped to make up for itKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 5)
*Underground Mobility (Through sharp appendages or other special means, Kaiju of different kinds are capable of burrowingKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8: B-Side Chapter 6 through the ground,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 12 allowing them to cause damageKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 2 to propertiesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 41Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 42Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 43)
*Fragrance Manipulation (Due to a Kaiju’s bodily fluid and gas, the Defense Force has to create masks that help protects an officer from these substances. It is implied Kaiju releases a foul odor and it is demonstrated that the intestine is so foul that even with a double gas mask and face mask, it is powerful enough to make one on the verge of vomiting and lose their appetite, and plugging one’s nose only makes it tolerable rather than stopping the scent.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 1 Additionally, the Defense Force's masks are designed to protect officers from Kaiju's bodily fluid and gasses)
|-|Resistance(s)= 
*Power Absorption (It is said that a flesh-and-blood human cannot obtain and draw power from a kaiju's uniorgan unless it is first adjustedKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8: B-Side Chapter 9)
*Unconventional Information Analysis (As shown here, in order to sense a Kaiju’s vital, it requires a different means of measurement than that of a humanKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 10)
*Acid Manipulation and Corrosion Inducement (Kaiju such as Kafka could run through Kaiju No. 9's Gamma duplicate without being affected by its organs' potent acidsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 46. The Defense Force Suit, which are made of Kaiju cells and fibers, could shield welders from the saliva of a kaiju of the lizard variety, which is highly acidic 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, which are made of Kaiju cells and fibers, 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 FahrenheitKaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28)

===Daikaiju Only===
The Daikaiju are the greatest Kaiju to ever exist, and thus retain all the abilities and/or resistances of regular Kaiju. In addition, they have the following abilities and resistances: 
<tabber>
|-|Abilities=
*Greater Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Daikaiju’s physical capabilities are shown to be even greater than those of a regular kaiju; as opposed to breaking the bones and giving internal damage to those weaker than them, a Daikaiju is capable of simply pulverizing them, bone and all, regardless of their greater size,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 8 reducing them to just red rainKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 2 or skin.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 98 The Japanese Defense Force does not possesses the capabilities or means to physically restrain a Daikaiju,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 34 as opposed to Honju and Yoju,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 5 and only has very few officers that are capable of taking them down, let alone single-handedlyKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 38)
**Environmental Destruction (It is implied that powerful kaiju are capable of generating emergence-induced tsunami with strength, and as Daikaiju are believed the greatest kaiju to have ever been, they should be capable of this level of destructionKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 1)
*Sound Manipulation (Daikaiju are capable of bellowing, which is powerful enough to create shockwave.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 36Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 111 In addition, even after they have been severely weakened to the fortitude level a typical kaiju possesses, their roar is capable of producing such an overwhelming pressure that it can shake a military bunker deep underground, generate wind pressure despite being sealed behind a containment device, and instill terror in people who are weaker than themKaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 56)
*Aura involving Fear Inducement and Hallucination Causation (Overwhelming, Fear-Inducing. All Daikaiju can release an 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)
*Extrasensory Perception (Precognition, Enhanced Sight, Life Detection and Power Reading; Daikaiju are shown capable of sensing energy from vast distances as well as see if they are a threat or not,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 83 in fact Kaiju No. 9 was able to monitor and direct its kaiju creations across the entirety of Tokyo.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 76 Their sensing is quite precise; they are able to identify a target’s exact location, even if they are in an undetectable space, and shown a glimpse of what the target looks like and about to do.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 2Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 15Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 19 Kaiju No. 9 demonstrated to be able to sense the death of its Kaiju creations.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 96 It is through sensing a target’s energy that the Defense Force was able to predict movement pattern/teleportation,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 79Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 94Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 95 sense an opponent’s threat level,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 8 as well as sense if an opponent is alive or deadKaiju No. 8 Chapter 85)
*Reactive Evolution (Daikaiju-class Kaiju have demonstrated the ability to improve themselves in combat in a short span of time, going from getting trashed near the beginning of a fight to matching them in skillsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20 before eventually overwhelming them in powerKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 36Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 37 and speed.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 26 Additionally, Daikaiju can adapt to an opponent’s techniques in order to minimize its prowess; Kaiju No. 8 was initially paralyzed by Isao's paralyzing electrical-like energy before overcoming it in seconds, Kaiju No. 9 being unable to tag Reno initially because of his analytical predictionKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 15 but eventually adapted to itKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 16 and become effectively immune to it to the point Kikoru stated that it is unpredictableKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 44 as well as Kaiju No. 9 being able to adapt to and resist Iharu’s Conductor RoundsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 17 when initially they could paralyzed the DaikaijuKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 16)
*Greater Regeneration [High-Mid] (Daikaiju possesses a greater regeneration than that of any other kaiju, as shown when Kafka, who haven’t been drawing out the power of Kaiju No. 8 at all,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 46 could easily regenerate missing limbs,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20 even in his partial transformed state.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 35 As long as the core is not severely damaged or destroyed, Daikaiju are able to endure any form of injury, regardless of how severe it is,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 51 because they are able to regenerate their complete body directly from their core.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 36 This has been demonstrated on multiple occasions.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 17Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 43Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 45Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 47Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 48Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 79Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 84Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 87Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 90Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 93 Additionally, Daikaiju are shown capable of speeding up the rate of their regeneration so much so that it allowed Kaiju No. 10 to hold his own against Mina Ashiro, the Defense Force's Strongest Super-Giant Class Kaiju Killer, and prevent her from reaching its core until she gotten assistance to even the odds.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 30 Upon regeneration, the severed body parts are stated to dissipateKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 21 but last long enough to be used as a potential distractionKaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 36)
*Immortality 
**Type 2 (As long as their core is still intact, Daikaiju can survive wounds that would typically kill a normal human, such as losing their lower bodyKaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 53 even when their regeneration is impaired. Furthermore, despite having its chest cut open wideKaiju No. 8 Chapter 93 or having its body sliced into several pieces,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 84 Kaiju No. 12 and Kaiju No. 15 respectively shed very little blood as a result of the injuries, when a normal human being would have already passed away due to the loss of blood. Kaiju 15 demonstrated to be completely fine being a head for several chapters before finally regenerating from its injuriesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 81Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 83)
**Type 3 (As long as their core is still intact, Daikaiju are able to continue to regenerate from wounds that would normally be fatal. This is demonstrated by the fact that Kaiju No. 15 was able to continue to regenerate after being reduced to a head for a number of chapters;Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 81Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 83 however, when its core was damaged, it was unable to regenerate itself after being reduced to a head once more and ultimately passed awayKaiju No. 8 Chapter 85)
**Type 8 (Even after having their cores destroyed, Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 85 which usually results in their demise just like with any Kaiju, Daikaiju such as Kaiju No. 10 have shown that they can regain consciousness once again as long as their cores are reassembled, demonstrating that they are reliant on their coresKaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 56)
*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. In particular, Daikaiju can even keep fighting despite being decapitatedKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 50 and suffering from a broken spine,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 36 even though the head is home to all the body's major sensory organs and a broken spine can paralyze a person for life. Unless the kaiju exert control themselves, their bodies are capable of having a mind of its own, as shown by Kaiju No. 8Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 2)
*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)
*Possibly Self-Sustenance [Type 1] (As a Daikaiju, it should be comparable to Kaiju No. 9, who is believed to be hiding within the Marianna Trench,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 58 which has very low levels of oxygen. Additionally, Daikaiju are perfectly fine with having a broken neck,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 18 even though an injury such as that has a profound impact on the breathing)
*Shapeshifting, Body Control, and Elasticity (One of a Daikaiju’s greatest asset is their ability to manipulate their body as they see fit dependent of their level of skill, allowing them to possibly sprout wings in order to fly,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 52 change the shape of their body to focus on defense,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 51 change body parts to resembles weapons like cannonsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 46 or blades/sheath,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 81Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 90 grow in size,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 49 bulk up muscles to increase striking strength,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 49Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 81Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 86 etc… Capable of morphing any portion of their bodies, such as turning their tongue into a long-reaching capturing weaponKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 2 or creating jawsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 51 from anywhere.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28 They are more capable of spawning multipleKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 16 appendagesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 44 and limbs,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 93 organs,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28 and even mini sentient creaturesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 2 from their bodies. They can even shapeshift parts of their bodies into tentacles,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 2 allowing them to physically extend their reach.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 47 Even without turning their bodies into tentacles, it is also possible to extend body parts such as a tail.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 107 Daikaiju can also bendKaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 18 and twist their bodiesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 2 with no ill effects, allowing them to perform self-mutilating attacks and thus bypass them being left open after a missed attack.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 36 Capable of discharging all sorts of stuffs from their body, such as piss,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 2 venom,Kaiju No. 8: Relax Chapter 2 heat,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28 etc. Additionally, Daikaiju can manifest or hide their facial features, as shown hereKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 15 and hereKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 80)
*Enhanced Senses 
**Multiple Vision (Due to being able to spawn multiple eyes,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 28 and headsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 44)
*Statistics Amplification (Daikaiju, in particular, can use Hardening to strengthen their defenses even further, as Kaiju No. 8 implied that with Hardening, he could better withstand Soshiro's attacks that could easily cut through his regular skin.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 20 Kaiju No. 9 even implied that if it could utilize its hardening, it would be able to better withstand Gen’s attacks with RT-0001.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 53 Additionally, it powerful enough to protect Kaiju No. 10 temporarily against Mina Ashiro’s T-25101985,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 30 a more powerful weapon than T12510 that allows her to shoot right through the core of even a giant-class kaiju’s thick flesh and bypass the need to expose it firstKaiju No. 8 Chapter 95)
|-|Resistance(s)= 
*Greater High and Low Temperatures (As a Daikaiju, it should be comparable to Kaiju No. 10, who rode on the back of a Wyvern-type Kaiju as it flew 8000 meters off the ground, which has a temperature of -34.6°F around those altitudes. Not to mention, it was able to withstand cremation temperature and is completely unaffected by it.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 24 Futhermore, a Daikaiju like Kafka could withstand the beams from Third Wave, which could vaporize that of Defense Force Officers.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 98 As a Daikaiju, it should be comparable to Kaiju No. 9, who is believed to be hiding within the Marianna Trench,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 58 where the temperature ranges from 1 to 4°C. A Daikaiju like Kafka could withstand being near Reno Ichikawa without being affected in the slightest by the passive freezing cold energy of Numbers Weapon 6Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 100)
*Ice Manipulation (When a freezing round, which cause flash freezing, hit an average Kaiju, the freezing spreads across a wide area instantly,Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 10 but this is not the case for DaikaijuKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 15)
*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 up.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 62Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 63 Daikaiju are able to withstand the pain with no problem, unlike Numbers Weapon Users who can pass away due to the accumulated severe toll of energy and cellsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 59)
*Greater Power Absorption (Unlike ordinary kaiju, a Daikaiju's power, which is utilized to construct Numbers Weapons, cannot be adjusted so that any human can use them; 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 powerKaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 35Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 38Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 58Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 64. Even if a compatible user were to gain a number weapon, it does not necessarily mean that the effects will manifest, even if the weapon has a high sync rate with the user’s cellsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8: B-Side Chapter 12)
*Possibly Poison Manipulation and Density Manipulation (As a Daikaiju, it should be comparable to Kaiju No. 9, who is believed to be hiding within the Marianna Trench,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 58 which is noted to contain extraordinary pollution level and has a depth of 11,034 meters deep)

==Weaknesses==
All Kaiju possess a core, which is their vital organ and weakness, inside of their body;Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 13 if the core is damaged, a Kaiju’s ability to regenerate will be hamperedKaiju No. 8 Vol. 6 Chapter 47Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 56 and given the fact that Kaiju such as No. 12 are capable of regenerating even after being struck by a sword, the damage to the core must be greater than that in order to prevent the process of regeneration from occurring.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 94 If the wounds they suffer are grave enough, Honju and Yoju won’t be able to regenerate easily.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 7Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 103
