Cat 6 like Breacher.
Thought it was a category 7 but a category 6 also seems right
Same.
Probably a category 6. If thats a category 6, image a category 7 lol
Breached is also a Cat 6.
I keep it under imaginary category.
Ignoring the questionable decision that The Black made by literally inventing a Category 6 out of nowhere, Mega Kaiju would be Category 5 for the simple fact that higher categories do not exist.
Why is that ? Well simply that the Serizawa scale used for scaling Kaiju only goes up to 5 (which is why Breacher’s category is very questionable.)
Great argument! Unfortunately, we can just say more categories were added between PRU and The Black.
Que trollface
That would be a possible answer, if it weren't for the fact that The Black cannot be canon to the main continuity of movies due to the extensive amount of plot holes and inconsistencies it has with it.
Seriously, the people that try and make The Black canon to the main continuity are pulling off so many mental gymnastics it's almost sad:
Why is there an "Horizon Bravo" that's a Mark IV when Horizon Brave is a Mark I so there cannot be sister-Jaegers of a different Mark because Marks are based on year produced and not their abilities ?
"Well maybe they redid the chassis after which means that it makes sense for it to be a Mark IV, even if it was clearly stated that all Jaegers are different because the PPDC doesn't want the Kaiju to adapt to them easily !"
Why is there a pristine Mark III Jaeger standing in a random place when Pentecost clearly said that he brought all the Jaegers that were left to Hong Kong in PR1 ?
"Well maybe they just forgot/lost it lmao ! It's not like Jaegers are priceless military equipment that'd be followed day and night by the military !"
Why are the Precursors suddenly able to open Breaches almost anywhere and everywhere they want when they needed a specific Breach or unique Jaeger/Kaiju hybrids in the past to do so ?
"Well something something technology progression !"
Why is there a freaking Category VI when it's clearly explained in the lore that the Serizawa scale goes up to V and Mega Kaiju was never given an official classification and that Breacher was visibly shown to be both smaller and weaker than Slattern, a Category V ?
"Well they must have updated the scale for absolutely no reason because Breacher was the first Category VI so it couldn't have been because circumstances called for it !"
If the Precursors could just send hundreds if not thousands of small Kaiju like the Rippers to take over the world instead of massive ones like the other Kaiju, why didn't they do so before ?
"Well something something they couldn't !"
And I could go on and on...
Point is, The Black cannot be from the main continuity as the first movie or even Uprising (and gosh knows Uprising has a crap ton of inconsistencies/inaccuracies) so that argument isn't really valid. It was just a questionable choice on their side to add Breacher as a Category VI which is a bit of a minor bummer given The Black S2 was great, much better than the first one.

i love reading all of that text and then just seeing a nerd emoji. i dont know why but its funny
No need to be so emotional about fiction. "Canon" or not fiction is fiction and arguing about what's "Canon" and what's not is as irrelevant as anything can ever get. Not only it's the ultimate irrelevant debate but it's plain childish and completely meaningless. If something's good people gonna love it, if not then people wouldn't give half a F about it and saying "Canon is better than non- Canon" definitely wouldn't change their minds. The difference between the ratings of the "Canon" Pacific Rim: Uprising vs the ratings of the "non-Canon" Pacific Rim: The Black is the proof.
Category VI
Someone seriously made him an NFT?
Maybe the Precursors were right...
Why not
Because NFT’s are a scam
Well that's terrible but they made its model look cool. But i wonder who the hell will pay that much money just for a model?
In the novelization of the movie it’s mentioned that the Mega-Kaiju is a cat V, in some promotional material he is labeled as cat VI, and the director of the movie Steven DeKnight said it was category 13.
Conflicting things on this but prob 13 like the director says. Atlas Destroyer went toe to toe with a Cat 6 and wasn't immediately bodied like the ones in uprising are so cat 13 makes a bit more sense for the Mega Kaijus strength
Atlas never managed to land a hit against breacher, only pushed him once. Breacher was unharmed till loa decided to self destruct.
Loa :’(
Ig by toe to toe I mean more so that the Mark 3 Jaeger was not immediately torn apart like the Mark 7 Saber by the Mega Kaiju. So the mega kaiju being cat 6 wouldn't make sense with those durability scales etc etc
I think that might because breacher was enjoying giving atlas a beating, you can see for example that he didn't aim for the head at first, even if he had chances and we see he had enough strength to destroy it with ease, as he did with the arm.
I agree mega Kaiju should be superior to VI though, 13 sounds too stupid to me but I would be ok with it being a cat VII
Mega Kaiju also didn't go for the head on saber but it didn't stop it from getting torn clean in half. Iirc the Kaiju that make mega Kaiju are cat 4, 4 and 5 so they added up to 13. But yeah idk what we're really discussing here my main point is that mega Kaiju is way more powerful than a cat 6 giving more credit to it being a cat 13 despite ur cat 7 preference
Tho tbf the black really FUCKED up Pacific rim lore more so than even uprising. (I say that from a world building stance not a good storytelling stance I hated the story telling in uprising)
Cat 13 for sure. Aint no cat 6 or 7 beating up 4 mark 6 yeagers with ease at once.
Bracer phoenix is a mark 5
It would be pretty up there
Mega category
Category Chungus
Depends where you look, it could be 5 or 6 according to the movie/novels, but if you ask the director it’s a cat 13
Mega
6
Category 5
Its cat 6
Because mega kaiju is 3 kaijus, if 2 of them are rank 4 and one is rank 5, ez 4+4+5=13 rank kaiju
Mega Kaiju doesn’t exist. There’s your answer. But if it did, on a scale of 1-10 it’d be bitch category 13.
7

I thought it was strange that Otachi was easily able to crush Crimson Typhoon's head in the first movie, but Breacher (which is 2 categories ahead of Otachi) wasn't able to rip out Atlas Destroyer's head. Also as we saw in the end of the first film, Slattern (the Cat. 5) survived Striker Eureka's nuke but, Breacher wasn't even able to survive Atlas Destroyer's detonation. I think that there were lots of flaws in there being a Cat 6 in the series, however, it is said that a kaiju's category is decided on the amount of Kaiju-Blue it possesses in it's body instead of it's skills and capabilities. That being said it is possible for the amount of Kaiju-Blue in Breacher and Mega-Kaiju's bodies to over exceed the category 5 criteria.
category thirteen because
thirteen is unlucky for four robots
and four robots can take down a cat six
Probably cat 6
They probably add it as category 6 after the movie end
cat 6
It is technically considered cat 6
