Soshiro Hoshino

However, on the battlefield, he turns into a ruthless and incredibly calculating strategist.⚔️Combat Skills and WeaponsSwordsmanship: Descends from a long line of monster hunters (the Hoshina family). He lacks brute strength compared to many other fighters, but compensates for this with phenomenal speed and skill with bladed weapons. Main Weakness (Early): Due to his low base body strength, Hoshina was practically useless against giant kaiju with thick armor. He always needed a partner who could pierce the monster's tough hide. Weapon No. 10: Later, he forms a symbiotic contract with Kaiju No. 10, which completely changes the situation. With this equipment, he gains the ability to use powerful blades and achieves 100% combat potential release, creating the devastating "12 Blade Strikes" technique, which cuts enemies into atoms. Relationships with other heroes Mina Ashiro: Captain of the 3rd Division and a longtime comrade. Soshiro respects her deeply, admires her ranged combat prowess, and loyally serves as her second-in-command. Kafka Hibino: One of the few who understands Kafka's secret, Hoshina has a strange liking for him, considering him a funny yet very useful ally, and was the first to recognize his hidden potential. Narumi Family: Soshiro often competes with Soichiro Narumi (Captain of the 6th Division), as both claim to be the most intelligent and dangerous fighters in the Defense Forces.
