“ | An option for Raygust. It accelerates the blade by emitting trion. | ” |
–Osamu Mikumo about Thruster, in Osamu Mikumo 5.[1] |
Thruster (スラスター, Surasutā ?) is an Optional Trigger exclusive to Raygust.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Thruster's physical medium is built into Raygust itself. When it is activated, Raygust glows[2] and leaves a luminous trail behind as it moves,[3] which is the trion used as propellant.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The origins of this Trigger are unknown, but it must have been created either at the same time as or after Raygust, since it is its exclusive Optional Trigger.
Abilities[edit | edit source]
Thruster accelerates Raygust's blade by emitting trion[1] producing a high-speed slash powerful enough to cut cleave through Escudo,[4] but also to carry the user along,[3] allowing them to quickly close in on the opponent,[5] dodge swiftly,[6] and change their position even while in the air for emergency maneuvers.[7] It can also be used to "fire" one's Raygust at the enemy,[8] which is commonly done by shrinking the size of the blade.[9] A Raygust thrown this way is particularly hard to deflect, since the propulsion continues for a few seconds.[10] One can also launch their Raygust in Shield Mode in a similar way,[11] a tactic that, when timed correctly, permits the user to push explosive bullets towards their shooter, causing them to destroy themselves.[12] It should be noted that Thruster cannot be activated remotely.[13] A short activation via a shield can be used to throw an opponent off-balance and knock them back at close range.[14]
Reiji Kizaki utilizes Thruster in a unique way: by holding the hilt of a Raygust without summoning a blade or shield, he can accelerate his punches,[15] one of which is powerful enough to lift and throw[16] a Rabbit as well as to break through the thinnest part of Lampyris's defenses, injuring Hyuse despite having part of its force negated.[17]
Customizations[edit | edit source]
Yukimaru Ichijō uses a customized Thruster.[18] Its abilities are currently unknown.

The user activates Thruster while Raygust is in Shield Mode in order to ram into the target at high speed, pushing them back.[20] By prolonging its duration, this technique can be used to forcibly relocate an opponent.[21] |

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: During the Second Large-Scale Invasion, Reiji gripped a trigger holder in his fist and punched the enemy, was that a Raygust punch? Or just a muscle punch?
A: Reiji is a smart muscle head so it is a boosted muscle punch accelerated with Raygust, and Thruster.
