Gigabolt Man-O-War, or Gigavolt Man-o-war, known as Gigabolt Dokragen (ギガボルト・ドクラーゲン, Gigabolt Dokragen^?) in Japan, is a Reploid from Mega Man X8 based on a jellyfish that supplies energy to Megalopolis. When he became a Maverick, he started causing chaos and stealing the energy supply of Megalopolis to Sigma, and the Maverick Hunters pursue him in the city with the Sirius Ride Chaser to stop him. After receiving some damage, he lands and fights against the Hunters.

[edit] Strategy

When the boss battle is on, he'll normally send electrical bolts and miniature versions of himself. After losing part of his life, he'll Overdrive and use his Thunder Dancer and strike the platform. He's weak to the weapons obtained from Earthrock Trilobyte: Crystal Wall, Rekkyoudan and Bound Blaster.

[edit] Trivia

• In the English version, he's called "Gigabolt" (with B) in his introduction and "Gigavolt" (with V) in conversations and in the ending credits. That may be because there is no difference in the pronunciation of "V" and "B" in Japanese.
• "Dokragen" is derived from "kurage", Japanese for jellyfish.
• If the player enters the Dynasty stage again after defeating Gigabolt Man-O-War, he's replaced by a New-Generation Reploid copying him.
• The Dynasty stage is located in the southwest of Australia (it may be an artificial island).
• Gigabolt Man-O-War is the second boss fought in his own stage before the "real" boss battle. The first one being Jet Stingray, who is fought while using the Ride Chaser. It is interest to note, both reploids are based on marine animals. It could also be thought that Gigabolt Man-O-War is technically one of the strongest Mavericks because of this.
