“ | Egret you're all using now is an all-purpose type with optimal firing range. It's adequate for most jobs. | ” |
–Ken Satori about Egret.[1], |
Egret (イーグレット, Īguretto ?) is a Sniper Trigger.
Appearance
Egret is a rifle with a black stock and forestock, and a stop front sight on top of the muzzle. The scope has a target dot reticle.[2]
Overview
Since Haruaki Azuma was Border's first Sniper,[3] this Trigger could not have existed until four years prior to Yūma's enlistment.[4]
Abilities
Egret has the best range of all Sniper Triggers.[5] In extraordinarily capable hands, it could hit a target from 1 kilometer away.[6] Furthermore, the higher the trion levels of the user, the more its range can be increased.[7] Egret also boasts optimal bullet speed, power and accuracy. Reacting to an Egret shot after it has been fired is regarded as a commendable feat.[8] Since very few individuals are capable of it, predicting the exact target, timing and direction of an Egret shot is considered the only way to reliably protect oneself.[9] In fact, Egret can easily break a Shield with a single bullet, unless there's a significant discrepancy in trion capacity,[9] and although a focused Shield can stop it,[9] it needs to be sufficiently concentrated, or it will be ineffective.[10] Full Guard is also capable of withstanding an Egret shot.[11]
According to Reiji Kizaki, Border Sniper Triggers are very well made, so if the wielder has good aim, they will not miss.[12] This was proven true when Isami Tōma and Tōru Narasaka managed to hit the small, shifting interstices in Hyrein's defense.[13]
Overall, Egret has excellent stats and no real flaws. Consequently, it serves the purpose of a balanced, all-around Sniper Trigger, and it is the most popular rifle in Rank Wars.[14]
Techniques
Image | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Twin Snipe (ツイン 狙撃, Tsuin Sunaipu?)[15] |
The user activates two Egrets, one through the main and one through the sub, and, after taking aim with one eye per scope, fires them simultaneously.[16] This technique can be used against two different targets,[16] or against only one for increased firepower.[17] Its only user is Ken Satori.[18] | |
Acrobatic Twin Snipe (アクロバティックツイン 狙撃, Akurobatikku Tsuin Sunaipu?)[19] |
An alternative version of Twin Snipe performed while the user is in motion and out of balance.[20] Ken Satori, its sole user,[18] was capable of killing a Trion Soldier with it while falling head-first, without using the scopes.[20] |
Users
See also: Egret Users
Egret has 17 current users,[21] one of which is a gunner - Takaaki Katagiri.[22] In fact, all users of sniper triggers from B-rank and above have had Egret in their trigger set at some point.[21] The only sniper who currently lacks one in her trigger set is Chika Amatori, who replaced[23] it with Hound.[24] This list excludes those members of branches who do not participate in Rank Wars[25] as well as the All-Rounder Reiji Kizaki.[26] However, at least 135 Snipers[27] in Border are given an Egret to practice during joint training, including C-rank trainees.[28]
The Egret user with the most solo usage points is Isami Tōma, the no. 1 Sniper and no. 4 solo combatant.[29] Another notable user is Tōru Narasaka, the no. 2 Sniper.[30] However, despite the gap in points, both were allegedly outmatched by former Sniper Mirai Hatohara with this trigger.[31] Akane Hiura also used Egret while she was a Border agent.
Trivia
- An eaglet is a young Eagle. This was the former name used on the wiki.
- Due to the two terms being homographs, Viz translates this Trigger's name as "Egret", which is a bird of the Ardeidae family.
- Its design seems to be based on Remington Model 700.
- Ken Satori is the only agent with two Egrets in his Trigger set.[18]

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Are there any branches besides Tamakoma and Suzunari?
A: Border has 6 branches: Tamakoma, Suzunari, Wataayu (綿鮎 ?), Yumite District (弓手町 ?), Hayanuma (早沼 ?), and Kuma (久摩 ?). Its personnel are mostly those who prioritise work or school and don’t aim for A-Rank (they do not participate in the twice a week Rank Wars). The branches are placed on the outer edge of the Forbidden Zone. Other than Tamakoma, the branches function as a point of contact for local residents.
