Overview

Ranking among the tallest and bulkiest of the exosuits, Ta Koshin Jo is a superheavy weight model worn by a Kur until Bamora brought it down. Standing roughly four meters high in the form of a large mecha, it dwarfs most other suits in the lineup. Its name keeps the octopus dish convention, taken from tako shinjo, a deep fried octopus dish, and its motto is power is power. The design carries a strong resemblance to Metal Gear REX.

Function

In its original configuration the suit mounted rocket launchers along its sides for heavy bombardment. After Okarun damaged it, those launchers were swapped out for gatling guns and a fresh pair of legs, letting it pour bullet fire onto targets. Its sheer scale and firepower mark it as a frontline blockade unit, able to barrage enemies and bar their path forward.

Notable Users

An Advance Unit Kur piloted Ta Koshin Jo. After the team reached Earth chasing Bamora and clashed with Okarun, Aira, Jiji and Momo, the yokai power user destroyed the suit's firearms, forcing the rebuild. When the Family moved to stop the Kur from summoning their fleet, Ta Koshin Jo and Jet Booster Exosuit Kur blocked Momo and Rokuro at the warp gate, raining bullets on them, until Bamora ambushed it with her exosuit's gigantification and invisibility and blew it apart. It also appeared during the invasion of Sumer beside Takonoka Ru Patcho and Ta Komeshi, helping wipe out the final Sumerian battalion.
