As Reno is overwhelmed by Kaiju No. 6's power, Iharu encourages him and attacks the beast. At that moment, Iharu uses his special powers to fight in an amazing way. This shows that he has the same abilities as Jugo Ogata. Iharu and Reno rely on each other, and this helps them work better together. This makes them stronger, and it helps them win.
