“ A high-speed cut...! ”

–Yomi about Idaten, in Galopoula 8.[1]

Idaten (韋(い)駄(だ)天(てん) Lit. Skanda ?) is a prototype Optional Trigger.[3]

Appearance

When in use, Idaten leaves a luminous trail after the user moves.[2] Its activation is signaled by the body of the user starting to flicker.[4]

Overview

Since Idaten is a prototype approved by HQ,[5] it may have been developed only recently, likely at Kako Squad's request.[6]

Plot

B-Rank Wars Arc

Futaba Kuroe used this Trigger to defeat multiple Idras.[2] It was initially successful against Yomi, but the latter soon identified its mechanics and wounded Futaba.

Abilities

Idaten propels the user at tremendous speed along a predetermined trajectory.[4] This Trigger is particularly effective when used in conjunction with Attacker Triggers, as it allows the user to blitz through their enemies and cut them before they have a chance to react.[2] Aside from targeting multiple opponents, the patterns can be set in order to strike the same one multiple times from different angles.[1] They also allow for a high degree of accuracy, enabling the user to strike the enemy's vitals.[7] Furthermore, users who have taken too much damage to walk can still use Idaten to move.[8]

The movement is so fast it cannot be processed by the brain, not even while inside a Trion Body.[4] However, this extreme speed can tip off an analytical opponent, allowing them to understand the mechanics of this Trigger and come up with adequate countermeasures.[9] In fact, the user is unable to move freely after setting the pattern,[4] which makes them extremely vulnerable to damage if blades are placed in their path.[10] Furthermore, the flickering of the user's trion body when this Trigger is activated can alert the opponent of the fact the user is attempting to utilize it.[4]

Users

The only user of this Trigger is Futaba Kuroe.[3]
