Powers and abilities

  • Kaiju Physiology (Daikaiju)
  • Large Size (Type 2; Shown to dwarf that multi-story buildings. It is at a similar height to the Supergiant Kaiju, which should be larger than the 150-meter Kaiju that was only referred to as just a giant-sized Kaiju, as shown by its size when Mina fired Keraunos against it compared to the Supergiant when Mina also used Keraunos)
  • Incorporeality (Its true form is stated to be like the Mysterious Larva, a Kaiju with no physical form of its own. Mina Ashiro demonstrated that no matter what she did, her attacks had no effect on the Daikaiju, as they simply reformed from all of her attacks, even though it is shown possible for those within another consciousness to physically interact and cause harm toward each others)
  • Animal Manipulation (While the full extent of its capabilities are unknown, this Daikaiju seems to have some kind of mental influence on Kaiju, as shown with Kaiju No. 9, a frail yet intelligent Kaiju, guiding it to where it was hiding and leading to their first encounter)
  • Aura (Explosive; As shown here. Its presence can bring destruction to the environment)
  • Multiple Selves and Supernatural Willpower (All types; The Daikaiju of the Meireki Era is a amalgamation of the mind, soul and body of hundreds of Kaiju that not even No. 9 itself could control, even though it can manipulate thousands of Kaiju across Japan, as well as being able to separate themselves in order to overwhelm an adversary with numbers. Due to being fused with many Kaiju, there are a seemingly endless number of cores in its body acting as decoys. When the Daikaiju of the Meireki Era was disappearing after its death, multiple souls are shown within Kafka’s consciousness and on the outside alongside the grudge spirits that were melded with him)
  • Greater Passive Aura involving Statistics Reduction, Fear Inducement, Hallucinate Causation and Madness Manipulation (Type 3) (As the amalgamation of hundreds of Kaiju, the Daikaiju of the Meireki Era should be capable utilizing hundreds of different aura, which does not include its hosts, which would make its aura more potent than that of a typical Daikaiju’s)
  • Greater Limited Corruption involving Mind, Madness, Empathy, Morality, Pain and Biological Manipulation (Corruption - Type 1 & 2, Madness - Types 1 & 2. As the amalgamation of hundreds of Kaiju, its energy and cells should now scale much higher than those of a typical daikaiju)
  • Forcefield Creation and Damage Reduction (As shown with Kaiju No. 9, a Kaiju gain access to multiple shields upon fusing with another creatures, and as such, the Daikaiju of the Meireki Era should have hundreds of shields, and this is not including the shield(s) the Daikaiju acquired from its hosts)
  • Enhanced Senses (The Meireki Era Daikaiju is able to perceive the grudge spirits swirling around Kafka and even recognize that they are the warriors it murdered 400 years ago)
  • Possession (They have demonstrated the ability to establish a symbiotic relationship with others by bonding with them and entering their body. While the Daikaiju of the Meireki Era is usually dormant within in its hosts, if their core is destroyed, the Daikaiju of the Meireki Era will take full control)
  • Additional Limbs, Enhanced Senses and Bodily Weaponry (After having taken possession of random Kaiju and Kaiju No. 9’s body, it is shown that features of its true form transfer over, as such they always have 8 arms, a long tail, and numerous eyes. With its many arms, it was able to simultaneously capture the blades of both Gen Narumi and Soshiro Hoshina. By manipulating its long tail, the Meireki Era Daikaiju could employ it as a long-range weapon that could destroy buildings with ease or grab and toss adversaries away. The Daikaiju, with its countless eyes, could track Gen Narumi's movement when he’s using RT-0001 and Evolved RT-0001, which allows him to not only disappear from those he deployed it on, as well as slow down his perception to the point that the world seems frozen, but statue them as well to the point of automatic homing attacks/defenses not registering his attacks or presence)
  • Biological Absorption involving Paralysis Inducement, Sleep Manipulation, Shapeshifting, Fusionism and Cloth Manipulation (If a target is completely consumed by the Daikaiju of the Meireki Era, they quickly become unable to move and feel themselves fading away as they progressively break apart until they are absorbed entirely by the Daikaiju, all of which are effective against consciousness of Mina Ashiro. This works even in a host’s body as shown with Soshiro Hoshina’s ancestor. As shown with Kaiju No. 9, upon absorbing a target, they essentially fuses with the target, even if it is weapon made from a corpse, gaining access to their abilities as well as their memories, not to mention being able to shapeshift to match the target’s appearance and spawn their clothes at will)
  • Stealth Mastery (Soshiro stated that the Kaiju’s attack is incomprehensible, despite his skills/senses as well as having knowledge of his own Number One Air Slicer and Kaiju No. 9’s projectiles, and not to mention Soshiro stated that the key to the fight is Number 1’s retina even though the Defense Force is more than capable of sensing different types of attacks before they happen thanks to an officer’s drones)
  • Text Manipulation, Deconstruction, Forcefield Creation and Non-Physical Interaction (With just a thought, Meireki Kaiju can manifest shining runes onto tangible and non-tangible targets like air. It is more than capable of manifesting multiple runes around them to act as a barrier against attacks, as shown when Soshiro's projectiles were dissolved, reducing the air attacks, which should be intangible, into smoke-like substance upon hitting them, and allows it to use its invisible blades in an omnidirectional manner, all of which serving as a mean of protect that even Kafka, despite, having the speed advantage and smaller body can't get break through and need the assistance of RT-0001 to find an opening—however, in a host body's, it requires gestures, but in its true form, it is passively created to the point that as a target approaches the Meireki Kaiju, it will spontaneously manifest in front of them. Daikaiju Abilities are shown to work even on inanimate objects, as shown when No. 9 was able to fuse with Isao Shinomiya and obtain Kaiju No. 2’s power despite No. 2 being converted into to gauntlets and a combat suit)
  • Spatial Manipulation [1 Layer with True Form], Durability Negation [1 Layer with True Form], Accelerated Development, and Invisibility [2 Layers] (When the Daikaiju of the Meireki Era blinks after placing a rune, it will generate an invisible blade, a long-ranged spatial slicing that is not only unperceivable to Mina Ashiro but also cut the space of wherever the rune is occupying before said blade extends beyond the initial area, both in size and range. When the Daikaiju perform this technique, Mina recalls Kaiju No. 9's cryptic message that no matter the era, no matter how strong, no one can escape from it, heavily implying a level of durability negation. It doesn't necessarily need to place a rune on a target as the slash cut the space of the general area of where the Daikaiju is looking the attack at and beyond. When in its true form, its attacks are stated to grow in force, forcing No. 8 to find a way to dodge them or he'll never get near him, despite a time when, in a weaker form, No. 8 could withstand the attack with no worry even though there was a power difference, implying that Kafka doesn't believe his compressed shield is capable of protecting him anymore. Meireki can place its runes on the actual body of its targets, despite said characters possessing forcefield that can be projected away from the body. Only having knowledge of its invisible blade as a mean of attacking, Soshiro deems Meireki as a threat worse than Kaiju No. 12, whose gimmick is the ability to adapt to one’s physical attributes and skills)
  • Mind Manipulation [1 Layer], Soul Manipulation and Non-Physical Interaction (Incorporeality; Through its invisible attacks, the Daikaiju of the Meireki Era was able to harm the Mysterious Larva directly, who is not only resistant to mind manipulation due to being resistant to Daikaiju’s cells and energy, but is also fused with Kafka Hibino on a mental, physical and spiritual level when it had taken control over Kafka’s body after his consciousness was forcibly removed, even though the Mysterious Larva is stated to be a Kaiju without a physical form, although it has shown capable of physically interacting with Evolved Kaiju No. 8 without the need of the invisible attacks, and never before did it get affected from the actions of other characters, which included itself)
  • Regeneration Negation [2 Layers] (After forging a better bond with Kaiju No. 8, Kafka has shown able to rapidly regenerate the damage done by Daikaiju of the Meireki Era’s Invisible Blade, when last time, Kafka could not regenerate the damage it inflicted on him despite being conscious and possessing Hardening, which implies that the Daikaiju of the Meireki Era’s Invisible Blade can halt regeneration)
  • Breath Attack, Shockwave Generation, Danmaku (In its True Form, the Meireki Kaiju can release a shockwave from its mouth that unleashes a barrage of invisible blades within the area. These same shockwaves are shown whenever True Form Meireki Kaiju uses its blink version of the Invisible Blades as a result of its the increase force, meaning that the blink version can target multiple areas with one line of runes)
  • Mental BFR and Paralysis Inducement [1 Layer] (Placing these runes on a living creature not only traps the target's consciousness within the Meireki Era Daikaiju, but also paralyzes their physical body, keeping them in the same position even in mid-air and preventing them from responding to any stimuli until the rune is gone. This is capable of affecting Kaiju No. 8, who possesses a resistance to Paralysis Inducement. It has also work on characters like Soshiro Hoshina and Mina Ashiro, characters who possesses resistances to Paralysis Inducement due to their supernatural willpower)
  • Teleportation (Is capable of teleporting in order to avoid attacks)
  • Levitation (Capable of suspending itself in mid-air)
  • Explosion Manipulation (One of its many abilities is to energize a body part, imbuing it with the capacity to then create explosions)
  • Self-Destruction (Shown here, however it is shown to be unharmed afterward)
  • All of Kaiju No. 9's Powers, Abilities and Intelligence (It is stated that Meireki Era Daikaiju has gain access to No. 9’s intellect and powers, making it more powerful than when it was 400 years ago)
  • Breath Attack, Danmaku and Homing Attack (Due to No. 9 absorbing Isao who possesses Kaiju No. 2’s power, the Daikaiju was able to release Main Bursts from a mouth to attack the enemy from afar-the only different is that Meireki Kaiju can shoot dozen of blasts that are larger in size while changing trajectory, a feat which Isao and No. 2 were unable to do, which allow the Meireki Kaiju to eventually catch Kafka Hibino even though he could react to and dodge the energy blasts. Its Main Burst could holds its own against Mina Ashiro’s energy blast despite a late start and would have eventually overpowered it)
  • Greater Sound Manipulation and Necromancy (It is shown able to use Kaiju No. 9’s ability but on a much greater level, being able to revive every single Kaiju, which include the Identified Kaiju, that had been killed during the No. 9’s Cataclysm across the entire country of Japan)
  • Information Analysis and Precognition ([2 Layers]; Prior to his adaptation during their fight, Gen Narumi stated that his inescapable attacks are not landing on the Kaiju as their actions are producing multiple futures that causes his Evolved RT-0001 to not function properly, this is despite Gen being able to see not only target’s but his own as well, not to mention the signals from the hundreds of Kaiju within Meireki Daikaiju is interfering with Gen’s Basic RT-0001. Additionally, if one was to try and find its core, they will have to search through the seemingly endless amount of decoys within its body, making finding the “command center” difficult)
  • Greater Corruption involving Mind, Madness, Empathy, Morality, Pain and Biological Manipulation (Corruption - Type 1 & 2, Madness - Types 1 & 2. As the amalgamation of hundreds of Kaiju, the Daikaiju of the Meireki Era could withstand itself and the cells of the Daikaiju inside its body as well)
  • Regeneration Negation (2 Layers; Upon acquiring control over Kaiju No. 9’s body, it could instantly regenerate all of the damage inflicted by Berserk Kaiju No. 8 unlike the original owner)
  • Human Technology/Kaiju Abilities (Kaiju with a Fortitude above 10.0 are said to symbolize the end of human civilization, and as such, human technology is ineffective against them, so much so that the Defense Force's detecting technologies—capable of detecting vitals, discovered enemy weaknesses, combatants' physical and mental health, locations, number, strength, movement pattern/teleportation, etc…—are unable to work on them, as shown when they are unable to measure their fortitude level, and it is also mentioned that the Defense Force's current weaponry are unable to neutralize these creatures, which are all derived from Kaiju—these weapons include the Numbers Weapons that are crafted from the corpses of Identified Kaiju to allow certain humans to replicate their abilities. It is shown that attacks such as the Main Burst are ineffective. This would also means that nuclear weapons are inefficient against them, such as the Tsar Bomba, despite the intense heat, radiation and sound they produce. This would also include weaponry utilizes by Mina Ashiro would not be able to fully neutralize it despite her possessing Durability Reduction due to her unique talent)
