Nutcracker
CharacterNutcracker is a one-of-a-kind chimera quinque named after the ghoul defeated at the Auction. Combining both the bikaku and koukaku kagune of that same ghoul, it holds an S rating and served as a weapon of the young investigator Ginshi Shirazu.
Overview
Nutcracker is a chimera quinque, a rare kind that fuses more than one kagune type, and it draws its name from the notorious ghoul brought down during the Auction Raid. The weapon was crafted from both the bikaku and koukaku kagune of that ghoul, earning it an S grade.
Role
Because it merges two kagune types, the weapon counts as a chimera model, and its full set of abilities was never completely shown. The one trait it demonstrated was a sudden, violent expansion on contact, powerful enough to tear an opponent apart. Shirazu called on it just a single time before his death, and where the quinque wound up afterward is unknown.
