Profile[]

Its purpose is to fight against "Godzilla", the monster which attacked and destroyed Japan's capital Tokyo countless times and is considered as “disaster" just as the "Angels" are. This is an "Anti-G Weapon" which NERV constructed with technical data feedback from the "Kiryū Series" developed by the Japan Self Defense Force in the past.

It has two modes: E Mode (Eモード?), when standing upright and G Mode (Gモード?), excellent mobility and a forward-leaning posture that specializes in tail blade attacks.[2]

Among its armaments are small blades on its spine and tail utilizing the same technology as the Progressive Knife, which can sever various objects at a molecular level using high vibration particles.

Also, it boasts a high close-combat capability with the "Anti Kaiju Battle Blades" attached to its arms.
