Scissure is a Kaiju of an undetermined category. It is the fourth Kaiju to attack humanity.
Biology[]
Scissure is a bipedal Kaiju with rough, craggy skin that's pale yellow-green shade. On its forearms and back are sharp protrusions that likely protect its neck and are used as a defense. Atop its head and on either side of its face are additional spike protrusions of different lengths. Its top row of teeth is long, narrow, and close together, while its bottom row is smaller and spread across either side of its mouth.
History[]
Pacific Rim: Aftermath[]
September 2, 2014, Scissure emerges from the Breach near the contentient of Australia in a move to reach Mount Fuji.[2] It attacks the city of Sydney. During the attack, a young Chuck Hansen is separated from his mother during the attack, at one point, chased by the Kaiju itself. Eventually he reunites with his father, Herc Hansen.[1]
Scissure is killed by nuclear weaponry, its death is the catalyst for the foundation of the Jeger Program spearheaded by Jasper Schoenfeld, Caitlin Lightcap[3], and Lars Gottlieb.[4]
At the time of the attack, Jake Pentecost, son of Marshal Stacker Pentecost, is five years old.[note 1] Twenty years later, during his access to Striker Eureka's Drift Core, Jake relives the attack through Chuck Hansen's memories.[1]
Known Inconsistencies[]
- In Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero, Scissure (illustrated by Sean Chen) is quadruped Kaiju with wings on its arms and back. In Pacific Rim: Aftermath, Scissure (illustrated by Rich Elison) is a bipedal Kaiju resembling a dragon.
