The first few chapters of Kaiju No. 8 stood out for their brilliant use of humor, but they also served to warn us of Shinomiya's undoubted talent when it comes to fighting kaijus, causing him to quickly position himself as the most promising candidate in the Defence Forces.

When testing the outfits worn by the members of this institution, Kikoru managed to achieve a surprisingly high power release percentage for a mere aspirant. This did not go unnoticed by Soshiro Hoshina and Mina Ashiro, who They decided to bet especially on her giving him a new weapon in the form of a giant axe that can accumulate energy and release shock waves, making Shinomiya an option to consider in direct combat against medium-sized kaijus.

Soshiro Hoshina and Mina Ashiro are also considering Kikoru Shinomiya as the third most powerful person in the Third Divisionsurpassed only by the vice-captain and the captain. In addition, Shinomiya has a strong fighting spirit that is only marred by your fear of failure.

Director Isao managed to adapt and master the powers of this kaiju thanks to the exo-arms he uses to fight, which allow him to deliver powerful blows and shock waves to enemies at medium distance.
