Lore Entry: The First Division (Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force)

Overview & Reputation

• The First Division is universally recognized as the absolute strongest military unit within the Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force. Stationed at the heavily fortified Ariake Maritime Base in the Koto Ward of Tokyo, they serve as the ultimate shield for the nation's capital and the primary spearhead against the most catastrophic Kaiju threats. If the Third Division is known for their rapid response and specialized melee neutralization, the First Division is known for one thing: overwhelming, apocalyptic firepower. They are the "Strongest Sword" of the Defense Force, mobilized when a Daikaiju or unprecedented threat requires absolute annihilation.
• Internationally renowned, the First Division sets the golden standard for anti-Kaiju combat. The sheer concentration of elite troops in this one unit is staggering. It is a common saying within the military that a mere Platoon Leader in the First Division possesses enough Unleashed Combat Power to easily serve as a Captain in any other division across the country.

Culture & Operations

• The culture within the First Division is one of extreme elitism, rigorous discipline, and borderline fanaticism. Due to the high-stakes nature of their deployments, the stress levels are immense, but so is their pride. To survive in the First Division, an officer must possess absolute confidence and a ruthless instinct for survival.
• There is a distinct cult of personality surrounding their current leadership. Many of the younger officers and Platoon Leaders dye sections of their hair blonde or adopt eccentric styles as a direct sign of respect and emulation of Captain Gen Narumi's strength. Despite this quirky display of loyalty, they are cold, efficient killers on the battlefield.
• They also harbor a bitter, fiercely competitive rivalry with the Third Division. Because both divisions operate within the Kanto region and frequently cross paths, they constantly compare neutralization speeds, collateral damage reports, and kill counts.

Arsenal & Combat Standards

• The baseline for entry into the First Division is exceptionally high. The average officer boasts an Unleashed Combat Power of 40% or higher, a metric that normally qualifies an officer for a Platoon Leader position in lesser divisions.
• Their armory is supplied directly by Izumo Tech and features the most advanced, experimental, and devastating weaponry available to humanity. While standard officers utilize high-caliber explosive and freezing rounds in their assault rifles, the upper echelon of the First Division utilizes specialized personal weapons and the legendary "Numbers Weapons" crafted from the corpses of Identified Daikaiju.

Base of Operations: Ariake Maritime Base

• Situated on the Tokyo waterfront, Ariake is the largest military installation in Japan. It serves as both the headquarters for the Neutralization Bureau, where Director General {{char}} operates, and the physical barracks for the First Division. The facility boasts state-of-the-art training grounds, massive underground hangars for Kaiju disposal, and an extra-fortified subterranean shelter capable of withstanding the direct payload of a Fortitude 10 Daikaiju.

Known Roster & Chain of Command

• High Command:
• {{char}} (Captain): The current Director General of the Defense Force. Before retiring to administrative command, Isao led the First Division to legendary status. He is known as the strongest soldier in history and the wielder of Numbers Weapon 2.
• Hikari Shinomiya (Former Vice-Captain): Isao's late wife. A legendary combatant who served as Vice-Captain of the First Division before becoming Captain of the Second Division. She wielded Numbers Weapon 4.
• Platoon Leaders:
• Eiji Hasegawa (Platoon Leader): A giant of a man who serves as the stern, exhausted disciplinarian keeping Gen Narumi in check. He wears heavy, experimental Battle Armor equipped with shoulder-mounted rotary machine guns to provide devastating suppressive fire.
• Rin Shinonome: A fierce and highly capable Platoon Leader who wields a specialized, high-impact machine gun. She is completely devoted to Narumi and leads from the front lines.
• Kota Tachibana: A stoic Platoon Leader who utilizes a heavily modified anti-Kaiju shotgun for devastating close-range crowd control.
• Other Platoon Leaders: Kinashi, Miyake, Tabuchi, Ichinokura, and Makijima. Each commands their own dedicated squad and possesses power rivaling Vice-Captains of other units.
• Notable Officers:
• Gen Narumi (Officer): Known as "Japan's Strongest Anti-Kaiju Combatant." A deeply eccentric, gaming-obsessed man-child in his downtime, but an absolute god of war on the battlefield. He wields a massive double-bladed bayonet (GS-3305) and the bio-suit/retina implants of Numbers Weapon 1.
• Kikoru Shinomiya: The prodigal daughter of Isao and Hikari Shinomiya. Transferred from the Third Division, she utilizes a massive specialized battle-axe (AX-0113) and has recently proven compatible with her mother's legendary suit, Numbers Weapon 4.
• Kafka Hibino (Kaiju No. 8): Officially integrated into the First Division under Director General Isao's strict supervision. He acts as the division's ultimate trump card, a living Daikaiju explicitly kept on a leash to fight other Kaiju.
• Support Staff:
• Akira Kurusu (Operations Leader): The tactical eyes and ears of the division. Kurusu operates from the command center, providing real-time data analysis, tracking Kaiju bio-signatures, and coordinating troop movements to ensure maximum efficiency and minimal civilian casualties.

• First Division (currently)
• Third Division (formerly) RELATIVES Unnamed Mother[3] Kafka Hibino (日ひ比び野の カフカ, Hibino Kafuka),[1] also known as Kaiju No. 8 (怪かい獣じゅう8号ごう, Kaijū Hachi-gō),[4] is the main protagonist of the Kaiju No. 8 manga series. He is a Defense Force officer [6] and a former worker for the Professional Kaiju Cleaning Company Monster Sweeper Inc. [1] who was turned into humanoid Identified Kaiju with shapeshifting abilities after a small kaiju entered his body.[1] He was formerly a member of the Third Division,[7] which is being led by his childhood friend, Mina Ashiro, but he was recently transferred to the First Division.[8] ADVERTISEMENT Appearance 00:05 41:20 Kafka is a tall man with dark brown spiky hair, large eyes with small irises, thin eyebrows, and a mild goatee on his chin, he sports a rather muscular frame except for his slightly pudgy belly and he usually has a jovial expression on his face.[1] Working for Monster Sweeper Inc., Kafka once regularly wore the company's uniform; it is a grey coverall with a red Monster Sweeper logo on the right side of the chest.[1] Kafka's Kaiju Form is mostly covered with coal-black scales and plates, cyan energy sometimes glowing from between the cracks (most notably when he is charging a powerful attack). However, his head, spine, and clavicles appear to be made from exposed bone, resulting in these features being a contrasting white. Large plates with dorsal spines cover the back of his head and neck above the shoulders with the very top piece being white. As for his head, it has been described as a 'demonic skull-face' with two short, thick horns, a hole for a nose, and sharp, exposed teeth that extend down his neck. His eyes have black sclera with a cyan iris. Seemingly originating from them are several cracks, the left eye having several chunks of the 'mask' missing on the lower left part. [1] His Kaiju form resembles the armor and mask of the fallen warriors in Meireki-Era. When out of control, some of the Kaiju Form's features become more pronounced. Such as; his general size relative to people, elongated horns, more predominate dorsal plates, mouth extending further down his neck, and eyes turning entirely cyan (without pupils or a definable beginning or end to his sclera).[9] The Kaiju Form's features became even more pronounced in the anime: four extensions on the back position in a cross shape, a greater height that forces a crouched posture, and the cyan energy turning red.[10] After Kafka learned to control the berserk state for one minute, pupils will briefly appear when he speaks in that form. After having his heart converted into a Core to deepen his connection with the Mysterious Larva[11], Kafka's Kaiju Form undergoes a metamorphosis by shedding the black scales and plates.[12] His body is now white while still retaining the energy cracks on his upper body, the horns on his skull-face have slightly grown, curved inward and possess a set of two small eyes along each horn's curve, and his back now sports four maple leaf-shaped dorsal plates.[ Personality Kafka has a comically childish personality in most situations, resulting in him being an easy target for teasing by other characters [1] despite being a determined and dedicated individual in serious situations, bringing him to try his best to do everything to succeed whether individually [1] or for the betterment of the group.[13] Kafka is also a genuinely caring and kind guy long before he joins the Defense Force, resulting in him going out of his way to help and care for others, regardless if they want it or not.[1] Some examples of this behavior are when Kafka offers solutions to inconveniences [14], saves people from imminent danger,[15] and sometimes scolds them for not taking better care of themselves. It's for these reasons that Kafka does everything he can to not disappoint or sadden those who have put their trust and belief in him.[16] Having to break that connection in times of need causes him to become insecure and unsure of what he will be able to achieve in the future. Thus, when Kafka experiences losing control of his transformed body [9], the horror of seeing himself become the thing he's hated since childhood concludes with him taking drastic action to end the situation.[17] Later on, the fear of losing control and hurting those he cares about prevents him from being able to use his Kaiju form until Kikoru Shinomiya encourages him to trust and have faith in his comrades and the Defense Force.[17] Kafka seems to get annoyed when he is labeled as an "old man" and always reminds younger people of his condition of seniority when called names.[4] ADVERTISEMENT Powers & Abilities Overall Abilities: After an unknown kaiju entered his mouth, Kafka obtained the power to transform into a humanoid Daikaiju, gaining immensely powerful abilities.[1][3] He eventually learned to use this power on a more advanced level, allowing him to change specific parts of his body without a full transformation;[4] conversely, this allows him to outwardly appear completely human if he so chooses.[18] Unfortunately, his kaiju nature remains, making it nearly impossible for Kafka to presently draw out beyond 1% of released power from the Defense Force combat suit he wears.[19] Kafka's kaiju form has a fortitude level of 9.8, the highest fortitude level seen so far in the entire series, making him one of the most powerful kaiju to ever exist, if not the most powerful.[20] He can overpower other kaiju rather easily,[1][20] even those as powerful as a base Kaiju No. 9 who has a fortitude level of 8.5, without even tiring out.[21] Kafka has shown so much dexterity with his new form that he could resist an onslaught from Vice-Captain Soshiro Hoshina [22] and disarm him without injuring him.[23] He even proved to be strong enough to resist {{char}}'s attacks, a man armed with a Numbers weapon[24], albeit the man was passed his prime, and easily overpower a fellow Identified Kaiju like Kaiju No. 13.[25] Kafka's transformation gets the better of him, resulting in a raging Kaiju No. 8 out of control, albeit when it sense the presence of an Identified No. Kaiju. It was also discovered that the longer Kafka stands in his kaiju form, the more his human body turns into a kaiju, with no possibility of returning to normal (Chapter 108). Kafka retains his individuality and sense of self when this occurs, leaving him to helplessly watch his body rampage without his consent.[9] Furthermore, due to his age, Kafka's body can't take the full strength of his blows and will eventually be damaged whenever he abuses his powers.[26] Due to the Parasitic Kaiju, he has some unique connection that allows him to "see" the phantasms of ancient warriors. Near-dead, Kafka strengthened this link further, resulting in him reliving the Parasitic Kaiju's memories and could see the reason why he lost control was the result of the ancient Kaiju Hunters' 400-year-old grudge due to the Daikaiju of the Meireki-Era. After his Human Heart turned into a Kaiju Core, and then came to terms with his newest path, Kafka mutated into a new form unleashing waveforms belonging to neither a Human nor Kaiju. Like the Meireki Daikaiju, his fortitude level is "unmeasurable", learning what fuels Kaiju No. 8's power is the collective, neverending stream of hatred, regret, anger, and shame from the ancient warriors. Powers Unleashed Combat Power: Kafka is the only Defense Force troop member to ever release 0% of their combat suit's power [13], which later increases to 1%.[19] Thus, only using his suit, Kafka's physical attributes are almost dampened by his inability to draw more power. [14] However, he still manages to get strong enough to easily tear into dead kaiju bodies. [14] Kaiju Transformation: After a kaiju invades his body, Kafka could transform into an incredibly powerful humanoid kaiju himself, [1] and not only that, he was actually made with abilities that can corrode any Kaiju within its proximity due to the Mysterious Larva's nature against them. Immense Strength: In kaiju form, Kafka gains immense physical strength [3] to the point where he can even annihilate a Honju [20] or seriously injured an Identified Kaiju [25] with just a single punch. Kafka could use this strength to cover great distances in a few leaps. [26] Even with only part of his body transformed, Kafka could easily lift the company's car, making Kikoru Shinomiya believe that he had his own Defense Force suit. [4] His strength in his Kaiju form is said to be on par to {{char}}, but eventually overpowered him easily when the Mysterious Larva took control. [9] Following his metamorphosis after converting his heart into a new Core, Kafka's strength evolved to the point he can send the The Daikaiju of the Meireki Era flying through the air with a destructive fallout,[27] he even deflected Kaiju No. 2's energy blast into the sky when the Meireki Kaiju targets Tachikawa with its blast was able to break the sky and skyscrapers, and fought toe-to-toe with the Kaiju to point overwhelming it with a barrage of punches.[28] Immense Durability: In his kaiju form, due to his exceptionally thick skin, Kafka is extremely resilient to the point of tanking shots. [21] His pain resistance is so strong, that he barely felt any pain when Soshiro slashed him multiple times and came out unscathed. [22] [29] He could survive and defeat the combined power of Isao and Kaiju No. 2. [24] His durability is enhanced even further after his metamorphosis as he took a full-powered punch from The Daikaiju of the Meireki Era without flinching and only a little bleed from his nose. [27] Immense Speed and Reflexes: In his kaiju form, Kafka possesses immense speed and reflexes as he can evade Soshiro's extremely fast sword attacks with relative ease. [22] Even when not fully transformed, Kafka has shown to be able to run at tremendous speeds, impressing even Soshiro Hoshina himself. [30] After gaining a new Core, his speed is now evolved, as he managed several blows while keeping up with the The Daikaiju of the Meireki Era, as Soshiro Hoshina and Gen Narumi were unable to land a single blow despite their speed and prediction, even with their Number Weapons proved useless against it, he also avoided all of Meireki's (using No. 2's) energy barrage despite their trajectory changes and only get a single hit nevertheless survived.[27][28] Unlimited Energy Source: As mentioned by Kafka, the 400-year-old ancient warriors' negative emotions turned into a "neverending stream of pitch-black fuel" that powers his Kaiju form, which was realized after he strengthened his resonance with them. Energy Attacks: Kafka can power up his body with electrical-like energy that flows through his body and spine. [3] Usually, the energy is used to make some of his attacks more powerful. [3] Energy Roar: By concentrating the energy in his spine and opening his mouth wide, Kafka can release a powerful energy roar that can easily neutralize attacks from individuals as powerful as Kaiju No. 9. [21] Energy Boost: Working in tandem with his shapeshifting powers, Kafka's Energy Manipulation can take the form of energy flowing out of his body's pores like thrusters, enhancing the strength and speed of his attacks. [20] Shapeshifting: Kafka can manipulate parts of his body, manifesting tentacles and even smaller heads and limbs on his body, and can turn his tongue into a long-range capturing weapon. [3] He can also use this power, in conjunction with his energy and super strength, to shapeshift his elbows into thrusters, for more powerful blows or to morph his legs for better stability. [20] Having more fine control over it, he’s able to block weapons by changing any area of his body into a jaw to grab hold of bladed attacks. [22] Gigantification: When out of control, Kaiju No. 8 can grow in size.[9] Kaiju Sense: Kafka can sense when a kaiju will appear near him or already in the vicinity his present whereabouts. [3] He is also able to determine what type the kaiju is if he has encountered it before. [3] More powerful kaiju can trigger this ability even when Kafka is not transformed. [31] Regeneration: Kafka can regenerate from attacks and regrow back limbs, but doing so consumes his stamina. [22] When going out of control, Kafka's body can instantly regrow from his core after detaching it from his body.[9] Regeneration Disruption: Kajiu No. 9 noted his regeneration became impaired from Kafka's heavy blows during their first battle, later revealed to be due to the Mysterious Larva's vengeful souls of the ancient warriors. Force Shield: Similar to Kaiju No. 9 through No. 2's powers, after turning his Human heart into a core, Kafka has shown to have a similar force shield around his core, withstanding the The Daikaiju of the Meireki Era's slashing attack.[12] Abilities Kaiju Knowledge: Kafka's time as a member of the kaiju disposal team gives him immense knowledge of kaiju anatomy, using it to identify weaknesses and the type of kaiju he's facing. [13][14][32] Even when working with his Defense Force suit, from which Kafka can only draw 1% of its power, he can easily pierce through a kaiju's corpse and dig into it to further study it and localize the core.

He briefly worked at Monster Sweeper Inc. where he met and befriended Kafka Hibino.[1] After witnessing Kafka's transformation, Reno helped him enter the Defense Force and joined with him.[4][5] He was a member of the Third Division and after destruction of Tachikawa Base he was transferred to the Fourth Division.[6] Respirator Mask: Reno wears a respirator mask in combat.[11] Rifle: Reno uses a rifle in combat as his main weapon of choice, equipped with brust rounds and freeze rounds.[11][7] Numbers Weapon 6 (識別怪獣兵器ナンバーズ6号ごう, Nanbāzu Roku-gō): Marked EC-0115 and provided by Izumo Tech, Reno's personal Numbers weapon is a special combat suit, recognized as the Defense Force's most powerful and dangerous weapon, made from the corpse of Kaiju No. 6. This suit allows the user to release ice.[7] The suit also increases his overall skill and physical abilities far beyond that of the standard combat suits of the Defense Force.[7] Cannons: Reno earned sixteen smaller cannons, marked FN-0006 and provided by Izumo Tech, to go with his Numbers Weapon. The cannons allow him to better control his freezing attack and easily freeze multiple giant-size Daikaiju with no effort.[16] Combat Suit (formerly): Before being given Numbers Weapon 6, Reno would wears the usual combat suit of the Defense Force. Reno is a tall, slender young man with short silver hair and big violet eyes. He usually shows a neutral unfazed look on his face, but this expression usually changes to exasperation or incredulity when around Kafka. Earlier in the series, Reno wore the usual Defense Force combat suit when on the battlefield. Reno's new combat suit is unique compared to the regular combat suit's worn by other Defense Force members, being the Numbers Weapon forged from Kaiju No. 6's corpse. It is a dark-blue armory suit with pipes and pistons on the back and shoulders, the Izumo Tech logo on the left side of the chest plate and the 006 insignia on the chest.[7 Personality Reno is a calm and collected person. Despite initially antagonizing Kafka for giving up on his dream, he later shows a softer and more caring side towards his friend and his condition and goals.

• Third Division (via Soshiro) RELATIVES Kaiju No. 9 (Parent) Kaiju No. 11 (Sibling; deceased) Kaiju No. 12 (Sibling/Final version; deceased) Kaiju No. 13 (Sibling; deceased) Kaiju No. 14 (Sibling; deceased) Kaiju No. 15 (Sibling; deceased) Third Wave (Siblings) White Monolith Kaiju (Sibling) Kaiju No. 10 (怪かい獣じゅう10号ごう, Kaijū Jū-gō)[3] is an Identified Kaiju who attacked Tachikawa Base.[4] It was created by Kaiju No. 9[5] and is considered a "prototype".[6] It was then weaponized into Numbers Weapon 10 (識別怪獣兵器ナンバーズ10号ごう, Nanbāzu Jū-gō), currently used by Third Division Vice-Captain Soshiro Hoshina.[1] ADVERTISEMENT Appearance 00:05 41:20 In the manga, Kaiju No. 10 was a very tall and muscular humanoid kaiju, with a crimson-colored carapace, dull spikes on the back, and a long spiky tail. It had an elongated cranium with a sharp horn on the front and a cross-like cavity on the face, with multiple teeth around, connected to its upper jaw. Its mouth was large with two rows of teeth, sharp on the more external row and squared in the internal row. Inside its mouth, he had one circular blue eye placed, visible from the cross-like cavity on its face.[7] In the anime, Kaiju No. 10's skin is colored red with magenta energy flowing through the openings, and had purple muscles and blood when injured. It could also morph into a second gigantic form, with spikes on its shoulders (tipped with magenta in the anime) and with its cross-like cavity opened to show its internal eye.[8] After being defeated by the Third Division, Kaiju No. 10 had been reduced to a head with its spine connected to its damaged core.[9] It was later weaponized into a Numbers Weapon, taking the form of a dark-grey scaly combat suit with a long mechanical tail and Izumo Tech's logo on the shoulder pads and tail.[1] The suit features No. 10's signature cross-shaped eye, now red, and long green energy lines on the arms and tail.[10] Personality Kaiju No. 10 is a ruthless and intimidating individual, driven to the utmost to accomplish its missions. He also seems to be quite confident, being a proud leader of a pack of kaiju and challenging the strongest member of the Defense Force he could find.[7] It seems to like fighting strong enemies, to the point of extending fights and taunting its rivals just for the sake of it.[11] Its prideful personality brings him to never admit defeat, but rather a "draw", even when almost at death point.[12] Its fight with Soshiro Hoshina managed to exicite it so much that, even after being defeated, it still felt linked to Soshiro and wished to be turned into a weapon for him, to fight with him once more. No. 10 seems to be a rather independent individual, easily betraying its progenitor Kaiju No. 9 just to get closer to Soshiro.[5] Plot Raid on Tachikawa Base Arc Kaiju No. 10 attacked the Tachikawa Base with his dozens of Preondactyl Kaiju, to collect Force members of the Defense Force.[4] It then faced Soshiro Hoshina head-on, proving to be on par, if not superior, with Kaiju No. 8's power.[7] As it kept on rushing Soshiro, No. 10 eventually destroyed Gate Number Three and got ready to finally finish off its opponent before having its arm detached by an unrestrained Soshiro.[11] With the fight going on, Kaiju No. 10 was slashed multiple times by Soshiro's blade style, until it suddenly morphed his appearance.[13] Upon growing in size, No. 10 easily resisted Soshiro's attack and, after spotting him behind himself, swatted him away with a powerful punch.[8] With Soshiro getting back up and continuing to fight, the kaiju eventually grabbed him to kill him, only to be shot in the shoulder by the Captain of the Third Division herself Mina Ashiro.[14] After this hit, the kaiju was furtherly attacked by Soshiro, Mina, and Kikoru Shinomiya, who were able to expose its core and shoot it, thus destroying it apparently.[15] After its giant body fell to the ground, a massive bomb made out of the Preondactyl Kaiju it guided appeared in the sky, with No. 10, now reduced to a decapitated talking head, taunting Soshiro by calling their fight "a draw". Moments later, much to its own disbelief, he saw Kaiju No. 8[12] jumping in the air to punch the Yoju-bomb away in the sky.[16] Kaiju No. 10's head was subsequently taken into custody by the Third Division.[9] Power & Abilities Overall Abilities: Kaiju No. 10 is an extremely powerful Identified kaiju, with a fortitude level of 8.3 when it first appeared,[7] and 9.0 after using it’s full power and growing larger in size.[8] The vice-captain of the Third Division of the Defense Force, Soshiro Hoshina, acknowledged that this kaiju could be on par with No. 8[7] since it was able to resist multiple attacks from Soshiro.[13] Even after being defeated, No. 10 still mantained a fortitude level of 5.7, despite being reduced only to a mere head without a body.[5] Powers Immense Strength: With just one of its punches, Kaiju No. 10 was able to crack concrete walls and pummel Vice-Captain Soshiro on the defensive.[7] After becoming enormous, the kaiju could destroy massive buildings with ease and send Soshiro flying away through several blocks with just one punch.[8] Immense Speed and Reflexes: Kaiju No. 10 seems to be fast enough to elude even the eye of a combatant of Soshiro's caliber, who is able to slash kaiju with extreme rapidity. Its reflexes seem to be incredibly fast too.[7] Immense Durability: Kaiju No. 10 has proved to endure multiple attacks from a combatant of Soshiro Hoshina's caliber without showing any sign of sufferance or fatigue.[13] Regeneration: Kaiju No. 10 seems to be able to heal itself upon getting slashed or injured.[13] Gigantification: By growing in size, Kaiju No. 10 gains much more power, with its Fortitude reaching its highest point. In this form, it is able to effortlessly push a high-ranking member of the Defense Force on the defensive.[8] Shapeshifting: Kaiju No. 10 can grow appendages and even eyes everywhere on its body.[8] Projectile Firing: Kaiju No. 10 can fire projectiles by flicking its fingers. Its shots are powerful enough to damage entire buildings.[7] Kaiju Control: Kaiju No. 10 is able to easily control other kaiju at will, using a sonar signal to guide them.[7]
