Kaiju No. 8 The Game – The Weapon Within
The story is set in Tachikawa Base. During a warehouse cleanup, two items were discovered: a Greatsword that was once prototyped as Kikoru Shinomiya's custom weapon but was scrapped before practical use, and a prototype "Ax" created during the development process for her current custom weapon. When Kikoru Shinomiya visited the Third Division for training, Soshiro Hoshina challenged Kikoru to a sparring match using these weapons.
Hoshina shoulders the Ax while Kikoru wields the Greatsword. As they fiercely trade blows with unfamiliar weapons, Hoshina poses a question to Kikoru that she is "critically lacking one thing"—what could it be? Keep a close eye on the two going all out during training in this Special Event story! In this Special Event, you can earn:
- A new Home background
- Up to 1,500 Dimensional Crystals
- The event-limited ★4 weapon "Ax-Bison 91" (Ax)
- Dimensional Crystals can be obtained from quest clear rewards, mission rewards, and from the event item Exchange Shop.
