‘Kaiju’ or the mysterious Monsters that attack the cities and kill people all around the world in the series. All of them have different features while some may look almost human. The smaller monsters are called Yonju and the one who leads the pack and the slightly bigger ones are called Honju.

Next in Daikaiju, specialize Honju whose magnitude increased to 8.0. Last but not least are the identified Kaiju who are not easy to kill and their magnitude increases up to 9.0. That’s why the Neutralization Bureau gives them codes and numbers to identify them.

10. Kaiju No. 14

This was one of the Kaiju from the nebulous grey area and was designed by Kaijo No. 9 to counter some defense task force members. The most they wanted to counter was ‘Mina Ashiro’.

This monster can fly in the air, shoot beams, and even use teleportation which makes him dangerous. His task was to cause damage while being teleported so that Mina would have trouble dealing with him.
