Defeating Gigabolt Man-O-War grants Thunder Dancer to X, Raikousen to Zero, and Plasma Gun to Axl. His weakness is the Crystal Wall, Rekkyoudan, or Bound Blaster from Earthrock Trilobyte, which briefly stuns him. A boss attack rematch with Gigabolt Man-O-War later occurs in the Gateway stage.

| Man-O-War is involved in urban power supply, an unexciting job that has left him somewhat lazy and bored with his lifestyle. |
Behind the Scenes
Nomenclature
| Language | Name | Origin |
|---|---|---|
| Japanese | Gigabolt Dokragen (ギガボルト・ドクラーゲン) | "Dokragen" is a portmanteau of three Japanese words: "doku" (毒) meaning venom, "kurage" (くらげ) meaning jellyfish, and "kurāken" (クラーケン) meaning kraken. |
| English | Gigabolt Man-O-War / Gigavolt Man-o-war | "Man-O-War" refers to the man-of-war, a jellyfish-like hydrozoan. There is some inconsistency in his English name. In Japanese translation, the "b" sound is often used in place of the English "v" sound, leading to different outcomes. As neither option was settled on, most text in Mega Man X8 calls him Gigabolt, while the game's cutscenes call him Gigavolt instead. |
