Who is Kaiju no 10 in Kaiju no 8?
At the end of episode 8, the monstrous cliffhanger introduced a formidable new Kaiju: Kaiju no 10.
This towering humanoid beast, first appearing in chapter 23 of the manga, boasted a menacing appearance with red, scale-like armor, sharp spikes on its back and tail, and a prominent horn reminiscent of a rhinoceros beetle.
Emerging as a creation of the monstrous Kaiju no 9, K10 is a ruthless and confident leader. It commands a pack of pterosaur-like Kaiju, known for their solitary nature, showcasing a compelling leadership dynamic.
A relentless force, K10 exudes an aura of intimidation. Its actions in the field are driven by a singular purpose, pushing it to its limits to achieve its objective.
The Third Division’s valiant efforts didn’t completely eradicate K10. Though severely damaged, its core and spine remained intact.
In a shocking turn of events, Izumo Tech, a prominent scientific organization, managed to weaponize the fallen Kaiju. K10 was transformed into a Numbers Weapon, a powerful combat suit piloted by a JAKDF member.
This dark-grey, scaly suit retains some of K10’s signature features: a long, mechanical tail, the iconic red cross-shaped eye, and pulsing green energy lines coursing through its arms and tail.
According to theofficial Kaiju no 8 X account(formerly Twitter), Kenta Miyake, a veteran Japanese voice actor known for his roles as All Might inMy Hero Academia, Mike Zacharias inAttack on Titan, and Takenori Akagi inThe First Slam Dunk movie, voices this Kaiju.
