Amatsu
CharacterAmatsu is a chimera quinque wielded by investigator Akira Mado, a rare weapon that fuses two different Rc types, bikaku and koukaku, so it can shift between a piercing blade and a lashing whip, and it stands as the first chimera quinque to appear in the series.
Overview
Amatsu is a chimera quinque belonging to Akira Mado, notable as the first weapon of its kind to appear in the series. It is built from two separate Rc types, bikaku and koukaku, and takes on a different shape depending on which is drawn out.
Role
In its armored, koukaku configuration Amatsu becomes a short dagger suited to close-quarters combat, able to run an opponent through, and it proves particularly effective against winged ghouls. In its tailed, bikaku configuration it extends into a long whip that resembles a kagune, dealing heavy damage from short to medium range and packing enough force to hurl a ghoul outright, which makes it handy against ranged or heavily plated foes. The weapon has earned a reputation for both power and durability.
