Shakhan's Gear[]
Shakhan's Gear is an unnamed white and yellow Gear is used by Shakhan during his attempt to infiltrate Ft. Jasper, as well as during his attempt to destroy Fei and his friends at the Ignas Gate battle.
Manufactured by Solaris, it is larger than a typical Gear, with a spherical antigrav pod in place of legs, a shield on one arm and a Seal-claw on the other. It uses a siphon-tube to draw power from the Gate, after which it is capable of Seal ether attacks, normal physical attacks and a special physical attack with Seal-elemental damage, which can be negated through certain Gear accessories.
Trivia[]
- Page 93 in Perfect Works has a kanji conversion error in the name of the Gear's first equipped weapon, using the kanji "内臓", which literally means "internal organs" whereas the correct kanji is likely either one of two options: 内装 or 内蔵. 内装, meaning "interior design" or "built-in"; this kanji pairing's kana, "ないそう", is only one dakuten away from 内臓, "ないぞう". This instance would have likely been caused by a typo before kanji conversion. 内装 can also be found elsewhere in Perfect Works on page 98 in Swordknight's second equipped weapon name, which is another type of Seal-Engraved Shield. Or it could be 内蔵, meaning "built-in" or "equipped (with)", which written in kana is exactly the same as 内臓: ないぞう. This instance would be caused by an incorrect kanji conversion chosen rather than a typo before conversion.
