Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure at this point the police still think that Kuuga is just another monster. One that seems to be killing other monsters, but a dangerous monster nonetheless that might turn on them at any moment. They don't know he's really a human. They have no idea why he's killing the other monsters. So him blowing up city blocks is just terrifying to them. None of the other monsters can casually level an entire block with one kick, so he's arguably more dangerous than the other ones.
So, two things.
First, it's hard to say exactly what the feelings are of the police as a whole on Kuuga. We mostly view the police through Ichijou, since he's in charge of the Task Force. He's as high up the chain as we usually get. It seems, based on the many,
many
briefing scenes with his boss, that they're okay collaborating with Kuuga on a regular basis. They don't know he's a dude until this episode, but he's definitely on the team. Kuuga's looped in on their communications, he gets to take charge when he shows up on scene, and they're letting him get his equipment managed by folks like Enokida. It definitely reads in this batch of episodes that the police reaction is down more to the press asking (reasonably!) Hey Did Number Four Obliterate An Entire Neighborhood Last Week.
Second, most of my beef isn't that the police shouldn't be wary of Kuuga. They probably should be
significantly more wary
of a poorly-trained part-time chef having the singular ability to defeat an unending stream of powerful monsters, and that was before he was
accidentally levelling Tokyo
. It's mostly a problem with me that a) the alternative to Kuuga in-story is nonexistent, meaning a ton more folks are going to die alongside a ton more cops, and b) the resolution lacks any sort of Damn It Chief He Gets Results that you'd expect a story like this to have to have. Like, the
premise
is good, exploring what should be wholly understandable police ambivalence to Kuuga, but the
execution
is lacking.
I hope that makes some sense! I don't know if it does! Thanks for pushing back so I can try and articulate my feelings better!
