Bubble Route[1] (バブルルート Babururūto) is a Treasure Tool belonged to Friagne. It renders any weapon-type Treasure Tools it touched powerless, earning itself a nickname Weapon-killer (武器殺し Buki Goroshi).[2][3][4]
Background[]
Bubble Route is one of Friagne's favorite Treasure Tools from his massive collection. It is a vital Treasure Tool he used to render Flame Haze's weapons useless, making them confused for a moment, while finishing them off with Trigger Happy.
Normally, it takes the shape of a golden coin. When he flips it, the coin leaves afterimages along with its trajectory; the continuous afterimages then materialized as a golden chain with the coin at the end.[5] The chain is considered unbreakable and when it wraps around the enemy's weapon, it negates any power the weapon holds.[3] The coin at the end of the chain also attaches to the weapon like magnet, making it difficult to remove.[2] It is also effective in attacking enemies from a distance or in disarming them before launching an attack. In the anime, the coin is about 2.5cm in diameter.[1]
It was used to wrap Shana's sword, Nietono no Shana, in a battle between Friagne and her, forcing her to move forward to attack Friagne.[2] The plan failed because Yuji came in and asked her to move back as Friagne wanted to attack her using the Dance Party.[6]
