Lantern
CharacterLantern is a bikaku-class quinque belonging to the investigator Taishi Fura. Fashioned from the kakuhou of the ghoul Uruka Minami, it carries an A+ rating and represents the very first ghoul that Fura managed to bring down in the field.
Overview
Lantern is a bikaku-type quinque that holds an A+ rating. The weapon was produced from Uruka Minami's kakuhou, marking it as the product of the first ghoul extermination Taishi Fura ever completed.
Role
As a bikaku model, the quinque draws on that category of kagune and traces directly back to Fura's earliest confirmed kill. Owning the weapon did not immediately grant him command of it, and for a stretch of time after gaining it he was unable to put it to use.
