Despinis (踊り手(デスピニス), Desupinisu, Lit. Dancer ^?) is a Trigger from Galopoula used by Ratarykov.

Appearance

When activated, Despinis is similar to a backpack with 16 fissures, eight on each side.^[2] Each of these fissures holds a ring with a sphere in the center, which enlarges when the ring leaves its holster.^[2]

Overview

The origins of this Trigger are unknown.

Abilities

The user can summon up to 16 blades,^[2] which are controlled either telekinetically,^[1] often with the aid of hand gestures.^[3] The blades are very quick, capable of moving with extreme accuracy, enough to deflect a projectile.^[4] Furthermore, they allow the user to fight both at close and mid-range,^[1] and their trajectory is difficult to read.^[5] It is possible to combine multiple blades into a larger, faster one,^[6] as well as to connect them to form a chain-like weapon, or lay them flat to serve as shields.^[7]

The disks are durable enough to clash with Border's Attacker Triggers without getting chipped or nicked.^[8] However, their individual power appears to be low, since, despite clashing with Scorpion several times, they never managed to so much as crack the fragile Trigger,^{[9][10][11][12]} not even when merged into the larger blade.^[13]

Ratarykov rarely used more than 8 blades at a time. However, it appears that if the trajectory easy to program, it is possible to manipulate all blades simultaneously, such as by making them converge on a target nearby.^[3] A capable user can use Despinis to fight or keep in check multiple opponents.^[14]

Users

The only known user of this Trigger is Ratarykov.^[1]
