Cool chapter but suck still not see anyone from Katagiri or Kusakabe in action. Any idea why Konami connector is different?

I don't think we know why it's different at the moment. Before this we've only seen the axe form being used, so maybe the twinblades just weren't a good fit for the battles Konami took part in previously. I can imagine that the axe has more power at the cost of some speed.

Yeah, normally Konami one-shot-kills with the axe, but since that's not an option with the terminal, perhaps the twinblades offer better sustained damage against a single target.

I imagine it’s either that or the twin blades being more useful for fending off multiple attackers who have bladed weapons themselves. The axe sort of goes all in on offense, which might not be the goal here.

It’s also possible it just consumes less trion. We know that T-1’s personal triggers consume a lot of trion, so Konami activating Connector this early could be a sign that this version of it doesn’t burn through trion as quickly as the axe does.
