Sōgetsu/Connector

"Konami's guiding concept is "firepower". By creating a connected Trigger, the power in one strike dramatically increases. It's for short-term battles, ignoring trion efficiency."

- Replica

Connector is a prototype Optional Trigger exclusive to the Tamakoma Branch. It is Kirie Konami's personal Trigger.

Appearance
When it is activated, the tip of the handle of each Sōgetsu disappears, and from both emerges a green and white, flat parallelepiped. When the two touch, a green light is emitted from the point of contact and the weapons begin to merge and quickly transform into a large axe.

Overview
Like the other Tamakoma-exclusive Triggers, Connector was developed from technology Takumi Rindō brought back from the Neighborhood. It is currently considered a prototype not approved by Border's HQ.

Large-Scale Invasion Arc
Konami combines the Sōgetsu to easily bisect the Rabbits she is pitted against. She then attempts to fight Viza, but to no avail as he simply dodges or deflects her attacks. When he sends the Trion Warriors to the city, she uses Sōgetsu to cut them down, with help from Arashiyama Unit and Kako Unit.

B-Rank Rank Battles Arc
Konami merges the Sōgetsu to fight Gatlin using powerful blows. She uses it to bisect both Gatlin and Tachikawa.

Abilities
Connector is an Optional Trigger exclusive to Sōgetsu. It can combine two of them into an enormous axe. The power of the connected Trigger is much higher than that of its individual components. However, Connector consumes a large mount of trion, which renders it unsuited to long-term battles. To circumvent this problem, it is sufficient to deactivate Connector when the axe is not needed. Like other Optional Triggers reserved for Attackers, it can (and must) be activated while two Sōgetsu are in use. Due to the superiority of this Trigger over standard ones, its user cannot participate to Rank Battles.

Users
The only user of this Trigger is Kirie Konami.
