"Knowledge and rules of thumb are not everything, but they do help in making quick decisions."

- Replica giving advice to Yūma in  Yūma Kuga.

Replica (レプリカ) is Yūma Kuga's guardian and a recurring supporting character of World Trigger. It is a self-described "multi-task Trion Warrior" created by Yūma's father, Yūgo Kuga.

Appearance
Anime= Manga= Replica resembles a rabbit head and is black in color. It has two white slits for eyes and a thin purple line of light across its body resembling a mouth. It also has two appendices on the top of its body which resemble rabbit ears, and two other, foot-like appendices on the underside of its body, which seem to serve as landing support, but were never seen in use, as Replica is always floating or flying.

Personality
Being Yūma's guardian, Replica always provides advice for him, telling him what's right and wrong. However, he does not interfere in Yuma's direct decisions as it believes Yūma's choices are his own. It also assists him in battles, like when preparing certain seals for Yūma and making Yūma's attack more complicated.

Yūma Kuga
Replica is Yūma's guardian, so it is very protective of him. It also frequently gives Yūma advice and helps him in battles.

Osamu Mikumo
Like Yūma, Replica trusts Osamu. It serves as a link between the two of them, and like it does with Yūma, it frequently gives Osamu advice and sometimes helps him in battles.
