Really nice chapter, try trusting yourself with where you try to go since your more experimental chapters seem to have lots of positive responses to them.
...Hm.
Well, the power that immediately popped into my head was Fujino's ability, and that's pretty bullshit. If twins have an ability like that then...welp.
Taylor's unintentionally collecting all the neat powers.

No, it just means that if one of them is in the right situation, they both trigger. Shards use genetic information to determine who they should be connected to (and how), so identical twins have identical Corona Pollentia/Gemma and powers. Fenja and Menja are an example of this.

Oh I know. I was just imagining the twins with a power to warp and twist space wherever they look.
It just seemed like a neat ability to have to me. And having two people with that power is an interesting - and terrifying - prospect.
Then again, they likely don't have that power, but it's a thought nonetheless. It's like a non-Manton limited Vista I think.

Ah. Yeah, that would be scary as hell. Fujino was already pretty terrifying. Two of her... Hoo boy.
Anyways. Since powers depend on the type of problem causing distress, and shakers are usually from environmental or more abstract issues, I can say it's pretty unlikely that they would get something like that.

So you could have somebody randomly trigger out of nowhere without knowing why, because of their twin triggering? Being separated at birth (or later in life) is a thing, after all.
Hmmm.

Hm, slight question to the author. Would Taylor eventually face an enemy that sends opponents to her like Araya Souren did with Shiki?
Just an idle thought about the fate of the kidnapped twins; it could be within the capacity of the supposed opponent to kidnap them again and turn them into some sort of enemy like those who Shiki fought against in KnK canon, in a sense.
Well, Taylor is less adverse to killing in comparison to Shiki, as far as I see, but still.
But meh, simple idle musing at best. I hope Taylor gets to wear a good Kimono, though. She is entitled to that much of Ryougi Shiki's benefits (no, the MEoDP doesn't count, as it wasn't a benefit for her until she started her thing, either), so, yeah.
Feh, I am totally expecting a MIkiya-counterpart appears at some point; a complete mundane who somehow manages to pierce the best made Anti-Thinker Defense by pure mundane means. Totally a person Lisa would end up employing, I guess.
In that scenario, Lisa gets to play the Touko role; fun times!

Yes, his name is Coil.
Unlikely in the case of separated twins. As demonstrated by the failed S9000 members, the "decryption key" is based both on genetic information and memories.
Differences in the subjects with the later tend to create divergent powers if any appear at all.

No, Tinker is one of the few classifications they couldn't be, since it usually requires long-term stress or an unsolvable problem. The others that are right out are Trump (no other shards to ping off of), Master (not lonely), and Changer (problem is not inherently due to some sort of self-image problems). Shaker is also very unlikely.
Who says she isn't already?
*cough*SUPER-ILLUMINATI CONSPIRACY*cough*No, but seriously. That's quite a bit darker than I was planning on going in this story. Being forced to fight and hurt/kill two of your best friends...
Taylor would probably second-trigger if she ever found out about the real reason behind her friends doing that to her (being brainwashed and forced to fight her against their will), especially considering it'd be pushing her Emma-betrayal buttons all over again during the actual event, and then she finds out it actually wasn't their fault and she killed them for no reason.
That's prime second-trigger material.
But no, I wouldn't do something like that.
Traditional kimono are uncomfortably hot and heavy. Especially to those unaccustomed to it, and even more especially to fight in. Taylor's a practical, pragmatic girl. Fighting in a kimono is not practical.
I won't rule out ever getting her in one though. Just not fighting.

Given the way it moves and the appearance I would peg Ryougi's outfit as a yukata rather than a kimono. Of course there are problems wearing a yukata too, namely east coast winters.

I'm curious, how would Taylor deal with Siberian? Would it have extremely faint lines like Arcueid did or would she see the connection between it and its controller and be able to cut that?
That power is probably what Vista would get with a mid-battle second trigger actually.

you could give them the powers of the aozaki twins, I think that would be a high blaster rating for the blue and a master/stranger rating (sub rateings for the dolls strengths) for the position of dolls
The wiki states that Ryougi's kimono is "haute couture" in that it allows high kicks for fighting, so... with enough money, anything can be practical for fighting!
Ryougi wears them all the time, so it's highly unlikely that they're cotton yukata. Given their dual nature as bathwear, very few people wear yukata in public except for summer festivals. The underlayer is also a giveaway.

"It doesn't matter if you know you've lost the battle so long as your enemy doesn't."
So a master 9-11 and a breaker/shaker/blaster bullshit.
I can see Touko's abilities maybe, but dumping the Blue in here is asking for trouble, especialy as my best guess is that it's the 'Operation of Time' the same way the Kaliedoscope is the 'Operation of Parallel Worlds.
You don't fuck around with the Blue, pure and simple.

Well I believe Shiki Kimono was modificated by Shiki to be comfortable and to enable her to fight with her knife
...well there's a problem with that.
For one, Aoko and Touko aren't twins. Secondly, ensou already said that Master and Stranger abilities don't really fit into the context of their potential trigger, so Touko is definitely out.
Also, the Aozaki sisters magic is so much more complicated than that - especially the Blue, like holy shit there's so much more to that than I really wanna get into right now - but meh.

I would not be surprised if the Twins trigger with the opposite Manton limit of each other.
