— In-game description

If you are looking for his Hungry Shark World version, see Shin Sharkjira.
Sharkjira is a male kaiju shark added in Hungry Shark Evolution update (July 2019). He is a Kaiju-shark that can shoot Atomic Breath from his mouth and walk on two legs while on land. He has a max size of 15 (previously 25) meters, and a max health of 400 (previously 650 before the Shark Invaders update). When playing as Sharkjira, buildings appear on the beaches with the humans, which can be crushed by Sharkjira instantly. The large cavern rocks can also be obliterated by this shark. Sharkjira has appeared throughout the Hungry Shark Franchise in different forms. He exists in HSE in his original state and evolved form Magmajira while he appears in HSW in his mutated form as Shin Sharkjira. He has two rivals, the first being Mecha Sharkjira which appears in HSW (a robotic kaiju), (also Sharkjira's first appearance in another game) and the second being Behemoth (who is also a Kaiju like Sharkjira) which appears in HSE, while still continuing their rivalry in their evolved forms as Magmajira and Behellmouth respectively.
Abilities[]

Unleashes a powerful Beam of Radiation
- Atomic Breath: Sharkjira possesses a primary ability that causes prey to burn upon contact and instantly kills any enemy sharks. Prey that have been burned yield double points.

Unleash the power of exploding toxic radiation!
- Toxic Waste Explosion: Sharkjira's atomic breath can cause toxic waste barrels to explode, resulting in the destruction of everything in the surrounding area and earning the player double points for any kills. This action also earns the player the "TOXIC BOOM!" accolade. To complete the "Ocean Cleanse" mission, the player must detonate 10 toxic waste barrels.

Rises up from out of the water, almost reminiscent of a certain scaly kaiju, starts walking, destroying everything in his path, leaving a path of destruction in his wake.
- Walk, Stomp (Destroys Buildings): Sharkjira, which bears a resemblance to Godzilla, has the ability to walk on land, destroying buildings and squashing civilians.
Sharkjira is capable of breaking rocks, a feat that is shared by every other shark above Moby Dick. Sharkjira stands apart as the first shark to be able to destroy toxic barrels and walk on land. On top of that, small and huge buildings spawn only when you use Sharkjira, along with other land-based sharks such as Magmajira and Behemoth.
Appearance[]
Sharkjira is a big bulky shark with two rows of large protruding black plates on his back that gradually decrease in size the further along the tail they go, with a fin consisting of huge cuadal plates. He appears to have darkish blue, almost purple, scales, while the underside having white scales with a tint of blue. Sharkjira's eyes glow a neon blue and a mouth with a cavity of similar color and large fang-like white teeth. He has two distinct fingers as claws, and three toes on each foot. When walking on land, Sharkjira heavily resembles Godzilla.
Skins[]
Skins are items that when equipped change your sharks appearance. Sharkjira’s skins are:
Pros:[]
- Very fast (In water).
- High health (400 health).
- Can destroy buildings (exclusive to Sharkjira).
- Can kill all prey items instantaneously with his Atomic Breath.
- When equipped with the Shark Vortex, he has a very big radius.
- (Mostly) Easy missions.
- Can kill Abysshark, Kraken, Luminite, Behemoth and Sharknarok with Atomic breath outside a gold rush.
- Immune to toxic barrels.
- Immune to torpedoes if facing them head-on.
Cons:[]
- He has massive health drain without Jira-Chan
- When equipped with Fireworks and/or jetpack it can be tricky to walk on land.
- The Shark Vortex does not work properly when Sharkjira is on land.
- Slight delay when swimming onto land.
- Such as other sharks with laser beam-like abilities, killing stronger enemy sharks with these abilities doesn't give any points nor coins.
Tips[]
- Use your ability during gold rush at the right time. It can get you massive amounts of points and coins.
- You should not kill a stronger enemy shark with your Atomic Breath, as it wont give you any points nor coins, just kill other prey with your Atomic Breath instead that will activate a Gold Rush.
- However, if a stronger shark is about to bite, use atomic breath to kill them.
Missions[]
Most of the missions are easy to complete, even without accessories or babies (Ocean Cleanse, Atomic Breath), while some missions are nearly impossible to complete (Shark Ex Machina) without accessories. Some missions are modified missions of the Big Daddy, i.e Shark Ex-Machina (Chopper Chomper), Grill Bill (Canned Snack), and Alpha Predator (Crab Surprise).
