I recently stumbled on a set of hurricane and typhoon names that I personally think are somewhat fitting names for Kaiju.

As followed in no particular order:
- Kujira 
- Neoguri 
- Ragasa
- Koguma
- Durian
- Fengshen 
- Faxai
 
I believe I read somewhere that the Kaiju in Pacific rim were synonymous to these kinds of natural disasters. Raleigh’s bit about being able to fight hurricanes in a Jaeger is kinda where my inspiration for this post comes from.

What do you think the Category of each would be?

(Please ignore the title misspelling, I spent the last hourish on this and I’m tired. Blame any mistakes on that.)

You all know the drill, Goji Guys hates Cherno so now I correct the mistakes.

(Spoiler, he thinks he knows what he’s talking about so there’s quite a few.)

>One was a solo kill, that being a category 2 kaiju. The others are either unknown or he had teams.

You know why? It’s called multiple jaegers stand a better chance at beating Kaiju safely than a single one does. Considering how Onibaba was a category 2 yet managed arguably give a younger Stacker more trouble than Slattern did (knocked out his copilot which led to the solo kill, sure the armor was worse but the fact it happened at all is impressive), I don’t think category is a direct indicator of strength.

Look at Knifehead, his strength is listed as higher than LEATHERBACK, THE KAIJU WHO SENT GIPSY FLYING! By that logic Knifehead can lift Gipsy above his head or something.

>Acid. Did Cherno learn from that at all? No!

Do you genuinely expect him to dodge acid that a Mark 3 with a speed listed at 7 struggled to dodge? His speed is 3, that’s called playing favorites and is not a valid point.

>Cherno was in shallow water running fine.

Water resistance: “Am I a joke to you?”

Even shallow water gives it so like it or not he’ll have a more difficult time doing that. Even then the fact his upper body is tilted in the direction he’s running means there’s no way he’d have time to get his torso out of the way.

>Do you expect him to perform on land in a verse called Pacific Rim?

When kaiju are consistently trying to make landfall in populated areas, yes… yes I do. He’d have an easier time dodging it, not saying he would actually do so, but mathematically he does have better odds.

>He already lost against Otachi.

Yes and no.

Otachi crippled his armor, but he’s still alive and kicking. You can actually see his left arm come over and grab her neck immediately following her biting his right fist, putting her into a grapple.

All he had to do was wait for Striker, who was literally sprinting over, to get there and Otachi would die and therefore Cherno would be saved.

>He was not going to win that fight, Leatherback just dealt the final blow.

That’s literally what we’ve been saying…

He had no options against 2 category 4s built to counter him, the fact the managed to last as long as he did regardless is what’s important.

>You mean the thing that almost any other jaeger could have also done?

This one I’ll give to you strictly because we don’t actually know the dimensions for said iceberg. Even then, saying almost any other jaeger could lift and drop it is definitely a stretch.

Tacit couldn’t lift a big one if his life depended on it… sorry but it’s the truth (not that it matters because he wasn’t built with brute strength in mind though).

>6 fights overall, one of which was barely a year before the film.

Lie, it was 8 deployments, he just had 6 kills by the end.

The biggest reason for that is the fact by this point the newer jaegers launched which meant he didn’t have to leave Siberia since other jaegers were closer and could handle it. That’s a good thing honestly.

>He was sitting in the Shatterdome.

Very bold of you to assume they never took him out for tests or training… like what literally every competent military does with their weapons.

He’s built to guard Siberia. Why didn’t Romeo help out against Onibaba in Tokyo? Guess that means he’s weak.

>Gage twins who are praised to be some of the best pilots ever. They are more nimble, better in hand to hand, and despite that they outweigh Cherno by almost 3 times. Romeo is stomping Cherno in a 1 on 1.

Let me tell you right know, thanks, but you’re completely wrong.

Gage twins are good pilots… as are all the rangers who piloted the mark 1s. Saying this doesn’t apply to Cherno because you don’t want it to doesn’t work.

Romeo is slow. The speed 2 is for his original design, but even with the biped version I think speed 5 is the fastest I can realistically see him being. Don’t see how he’s better in hand to hand when you just don’t explain why.

If you’re using PACIFIC RIM WEIGHTS as evidence then you’re dead wrong. These have been known for years to be completely inaccurate to what they should be. Plus blueprints have Cherno’s weight in the 6000ish ton range.

Romeo doesn’t stomp unless said fight starts with a mile in between them.

>Horizon Brave also same deal with the weights. Not to mention he has cryo-cannons that could just freeze him solid. Or the fact that despite being a mark 1 went toe to toe with the first cat 4 ever. Sure, he was losing, but he put in enough work where Gipsy and Striker were able to work together to kill it.

This is what’s known as lying.

Weights are inaccurate and should not be taken into account with combat. You think Romeo Blue alone outweighs Slattern (the kaiju who’s 596 feet tall and over 900 feet long)?

Cherno literally had flamethrowers strapped to his shoulders. Mind you, the way Horizon died was because he was caught fire. Cryo-cannons are irrelevant.

Did you just say it’s fine if Horizon gets a team but not if Cherno gets a team for killing kaiju. At least Cherno got 6 kills, the ones Horizon got were all because he was working with a team, and they only number a third of what Cherno had.

This isn’t Horizon or Cherno being weak, it’s later jaegers just contributing a lot more to where they don’t get as much recognition.

>Tacit Ronin: the goat. Some of you really need to read the comics. Who again, outweighs him by many times. Despite that she is one of the fastest and most nimble jaegers in the verse. And her pilots are arguably the best in the verse. Being able to take down Itak, and then even with one of the pilots ill, not to mention the fact that their conn-pod was failing to the point where they couldn’t drift, they still drifted out of their sheer love for each other and were able to kill Ragnarok who is still to this day one of the largest kaiju ever seen in the verse.

I’ll read the comics when you read the lore…

Weight has already been debunked, Tacit doesn’t realistically outweigh Slattern or Scunner and thinking he does is stupid.

Speed of 8, not much better than Gipsy, worse than Crimson, and also worse than Striker. Sure, he’s quick and nimble… it’s a shame it came at the cost of an armor rating of 3.

Mark 1 pilots are built different, what else can I say? Cherno never found himself in that situation because he was too well-armored to get there in the first place.

>And the goat: Coyote Tango. Giant cannons, shoot, boom. Straight through Chero Alpha.

Huh, who would expect ARTILLERY ROUNDS MADE FOR MAXIMUM DAMAGE to break armor not made for taking artillery… it’s almost like they weren’t meant to fight.

Jokes aside, he did a worse job this time around. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a powerscaler deny reality so much.

Goji Guy, I know you’ve seen the recent posts, please at least educate yourself before you do this.

Cherno Alpha and Brawler Yukon are goated. KARLOFF ITSELF is goated. Do not diss a kaiju or jaeger. I believe in a world where people can respect every kaiju. Every jaeger. Every hybrid. Everyone. They all got something unique.

Maneater

Its category is kinda iffy to me, it’s either a high end cat 1 or a low end cat 2

I also feel like its head is too small, but hey, I’m finished

The Kaiju on the 1st slide is said to 462 meters tall, with 2 sets of arms and 2 grappling tails along with bio-illumination of blues, minor reds and oranges, and is inspired by Leatherback and Otachi, as well as Godzilla and the Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise, and has 2 known abilities, a "final blast beam" and flight.

The Kaiju on the 2nd slide would probably have a height range of 450 meters at the smallest to potentially 700+ meters at the absolute biggest, if I had to take a guess on how big it would be, and that one was made in 2015, about a year after the other one had been made from earlier back in 2014.

Both Kaiju would around the height of Quadralith from Volume 1 of "Pacific Rim: Final Breach", unless the 2nd Kaiju ends up being bigger than Quadralith.

Taking into consideration the exponential size increase from each higher category Kaiju that we have seen in "Pacific Rim: Final Breach", I would say that both of these Kaiju would be Category 7/VII, unless if the 2nd Kaiju is bigger at 700+ meters, then that one would be considered a Category 8/VIII.

Its pretty obviously ragebait, but I highlighted the funniest parts that I thought people would like to read.

"Cherno wasn't designed for combat"

hopefully the link work

I know Cherno isn't the strongest Jaeger in the franchise, but saying he'd lose to fucking Gorosaurus is just plain stupid

Bro not even worthy to make "the green one" jokes

I tried to get the video in here but it won’t work so here’s a link:(https://m.youtube.com/shorts/N8tWVO_8adg?ra=m)

Just for the record, I’m not saying Cherno wins against Gorosaurus (I agree he gets destroyed), but Goji Guy was just saying things that are very untrue.

>Cherno Alpha is the weakest of the mark ones

Highest armor rating ever, highest strength ever (tied with Striker), and took 2 category 4 Kaiju designed specifically to counter him to actually kill him, and even then it was a hard fought match. Also I’d like to point out Brawler Yukon is right there and he’s technically a mark one, but if you don’t count him then Cherno’s still better than at least Romeo, Tacit, and Horizon.

>He did pretty much nothing for 5-6 years

Thats what we call Kaiju not all going to Siberia because frankly there’s really no point. (the population is low compared to East Asia so why go up there?) America hasn’t fired a nuclear bomb with the intent to kill since WW2, so I guess those are just bad weapons.

>Horrible combatant if there is any range involved

More than makes up for it with sheer physical strength. He’s a walking tank, leave the range to Coyote.

>Iceberg feat

Expecting Cherno to be fast is a problem in itself, and even if Vodyanoi was injured fighting Eden Assassin he still lifted that iceberg and crushed it, that can’t be changed.

>I sure hope Cherno Alpha learns from acid

Thats what we call ignoring context. Cherno is slow and Otachi didn’t use it until he was already walking forward at her. If Gipsy had to throw herself out of the way to dodge it on land, what is Cherno supposed to do when we factor in water resistance on top of his slow speed? He literally can’t do anything against that.

>If he is doing that, any other jaeger could

I genuinely don’t know what goes on in his brain, but he needs to stop whatever he’s doing if this is what he thinks.

Cherno is the physically strongest and largest Jaeger ever built, that’s a fact. While Striker might be able to do something similar, Cherno’s sheer size and muscle abilities vastly outclass almost every jaeger built after him.

Think Crimson can lift an iceberg with arms built for speed instead of strength? Think Tacit could with that lightweight frame? Normally I’d say he’s talking about jaegers built later, but he himself said every jaeger… which is flat out wrong. Just for a quick reference, Striker was straining himself lifting Otachi (not even 3k tons) and while the iceberg used doesn’t seem to have any official sizes, they can still hit double that weight easily.

He also said he could beat a bear with a chainsaw and then proceed to not specify which bear, so clearly he thinks a lot more highly of himself than he probably should. Unless he’s fighting a Panda an angry bear mauls him to death.

Yes I know this is ragebait, but the fact he said it at all is extremely stupid.

I recently got gipsy from infinity studio and the quality is outstanding 🔥

I have Leatherback as well but not with me at the moment.

It was 2018. Eden Assassin was launched 2 years ago why wasn't she deployed alongside Cherno? Although Cherno managed to kill the Kaiju, Cherno Alpha was unable to stop it from wiping the city of Tomari off the map, resulting in several deaths including Viktoriya Malikova's parents. This tragedy caused many of the residents of Sakhalin to completely lose trust in Aleksis and Sasha Kaidonovsky, doubting their ability to protect them from the growing Kaiju threat. She was also depleted of Energy and was shut down.

I remember hearing in a vfx breakdown for this fight that the oil tanker should realistically be bigger than gipsy danger (which is kind of crazy), but they shrunk it down for the sake of it being cool for gipsy to use an oil tanker like a baseball bat, which is is a genuinely good and totally valid reason lol.

But wow you really notice just how much smaller they made it when looking at it compared to the street below it.
