SHINKURO

THE CRACKED TRUTH

[KAIJU PROFILE: CLASSIFIED]

Designation: SHINKURO

Pronunciation: SHIN-koo-roh

Name Origin:

• SHIN (真 / 新 / 神): “Truth,” “New,” or “Divine,” depending on kanji context.

• KURO (黒): “Darkness” or “the Hidden.”

Full Semantic Translation: “The Divine Birth of Living Truth Through Darkness.”

Entity Class: Ω-Class (Cognitive-Anomalous Entity)

Current Form: II — Parasitic Emergence State

Containment Status: UNCONTAINABLE

Engagement Status: ACTIVE

Current Evolutionary Phase: Mask Fractured / Rift-Bound

Known Alias: The Cracked Truth

First Sighting: Sector 4-R (Zone 4, Atlanta, GA)

Event Tag: The Fourth Fold

Responsible Agency: Unavailable — FTF INTEL LOCKOUT ENACTED

[PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS]

• Height: 376 ft / 114.6 meters

• Mass: Undeterminable — shifts based on emotional resonance and collective psychic load

• Physiology:

  
  

  • Composed of necro-carbon exo-flesh and parasitic ash-veined musculature

  • Body emits thermal fractures and mild radiation from Rift core

  • Facial structure obscured by fractured skeletal mask with single ocular lumen

  • Wings currently in vestigial stage — theorized to fully materialize in final evolution

    
    

[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES]

• HIVE PULSE

  
  

  Emits a low-frequency psychic wave that reactivates buried memories and collective trauma responses within organisms across a wide radius.

• COGNITIVE DISTORTION FIELD

  
  

  Creates memory fragmentation, identity dislocation, and temporal hallucinations in victims exposed for more than 5 minutes.

• VOICE MIMICRY

  
  

  Utilizes deep-vocal mimicry to repeat emotionally significant phrases from victims’ past, often weaponizing unresolved loss or guilt.

• ANCHOR CLAWS

  
  

  Capable of penetrating reinforced matter and destabilizing neural tech barriers; believed to target electro-spiritual structures rather than simple mechanical systems.

• GUILT ECHO

  
  

  Induces time-loop mirroring — subjects re-experience emotionally significant events trapped in recursive trauma cycles.

[PSYCHIC SIGNATURE RANGE]

• Zone of Influence: 4.3-mile radius (active phase)

• Secondary Residual Effects:

  
  

  • Sleep paralysis

  • Audio hallucinations

  • Episodic dissociation

  • Phantom memory bleed

  • Spontaneous emotional collapse (recorded in 61% of survivors)

  
  

[THREAT ANALYSIS]

• Military Engagement: All conventional weaponry deemed ineffective.

• Psychic Shielding: Partially resistant to Level-6 resonance dampeners.

• Containment Attempt Record: 5 failed.

• Global Kaiju Risk Assessment: RANK RED (Unstoppable, Evolving, Infectious)

[KNOWN WEAKNESS]

None currently confirmed.

However, encrypted FTF Archive Nodes suggest possible suppression through the “Convergence of Three” — a theoretical psycho-spiritual resonance alignment known only to FTF inner circle operatives.

Further intel pending activation of Banisher-Class Entity (UNCONFIRMED / DEEP DORMANCY).

[LORE REPORT: FTF INTERNAL FILES]

“He doesn’t kill you.

He shows you the version of yourself you were hoping to forget.”

At exactly 03:17 AM, on a stretch of cracked pavement in Zone 4, the Rift pulsed — not with sound, but with memory.

The Fourth Fold didn’t rupture the earth.

It ruptured reality.

Shinkuro didn’t arrive in fire.

He arrived in regret.

What rose from beneath was not a beast.

It was a god of unspoken things — constructed of silence, sharpened by shame.

He is the fracture in your timeline.

The monster inside your mirror.

He is not yet in his final form.

[FTF CLASSIFIED WARNING]

If you see Shinkuro… it’s already too late to run.

You don’t survive him.

You remember him.

[FTF ENDORSED INTEL – RELEASE STATUS: APPROVED]

This is only Form II.

The Mask is broken, but not gone.

Form III will not whisper. It will roar.

[CLASSIFIED INTEL: RIFT ACTIVITY DETECTED]

Surveillance teams near Sector 4-R have confirmed anomalous seismic pulses beneath the Black Fault.

Audio logs captured a low-frequency signal not heard since Shinkuro’s last emergence.

“The mask is breaking again.”

Stay tuned for the official Arrival File…

Shinkuro is coming through the Rift.
