Kiryuu-GINA [ Machine Dragon ]
Note: This file concerns the final design of the Mecha-Gina project, the mecha girl based on the JSDF-produced MFS-3 Kiryu. Also included are files concerning the true nature of the ‘inherent kaiju personality’ phenomenon, disguised as the so-called ‘Berzerker’ virus in public files. For files concerning the two previous Mecha-Gina machine girls, see files Jap/DKH/Kaiju-1974-75/#41-Kat and Jap/DKH/Kaiju-1993/#20-Sum.

Weaknesses If a certain level of activity is reached (either in combat or otherwise), the Kiryuu unit is known to go ‘berserk’ due to the Godzilla-derived cells in the unit’s ‘reactivating’ and overriding the units control programs.
Background Info   The Mecha-Gina project, now well known outside of the JSDF thanks to news crews being present at the previous missions employing the mechas Katsura and Sumegi, entered it’s third and final stage in the late 2000’s, with the planning of the Kiryuu unit. After the construction of the infiltration/close-range combat Katsura unit and the heavily firepower-based Sumegi unit, JSDF scientists decided to design an all-out, all-purpose combat unit fully able to obliterate targets with ranged weaponry, or tearing them apart in close combat.

The result was the Kiryuu (or Kiryuu-Gina, to give it her full name) unit, arguably the most powerful (size/output wise) combat machine ever built by the JSDF. However, early testing in controlled theatres against mass-produced, low AI mech soldiers revealed a strange fault in the unit as, during a test to see just how far the unit could push herself, she went berserk. Smashing through the walls of the testing facility and killing several observers before a close-range EMP blast disabled the machine, Kiryuu was eventually brought back to the JSDF main facilities for further investigation into this phenomenon.

Kiryuu is, like her two sister units, a half-time attendee, full-time security officer at Daikaiju High (this transfer happened after the JSDF production facilities were obliterated in a massive engagement with an unknown group of individuals: for information, see files -*Security override. Files removed. Order origination: unknown*-)

It is interesting to note that Kiryuu’s human-based AI (based on the personality of JSDF pilot Akane Yashiro), while technically younger than those of Sumegi and Katsura, has adopted the middle-sister position out of the three, as Sumegi’s AI acts noticeably younger and more childish than her designers intended. Lately, Kiryuu has formed a relationship with the superhero Mazinger Zoe, but have held this secret for fear of people’s reactions.
