Replica can use the powers of Yuma Kuga's Black Trigger. He also seamlessly
wraps himself over Yuma's left arm when he activates the Black Trigger.

Also, the Trion soldiers Replica creates (like the Rabbit he gated in to help
Osamu in episode 31 "Osamu Mikumo's Determination") can also use Kuga's
trigger powers.

Is Replica part of the Black Trigger, or is he an independent component which
shares the power?

Is Replica part of Yuma Kuga's Black Trigger?


Replica is an "autonomous Trion soldier", which implies that Replica is made
entirely from Trion. Since he can split into smaller Trion soldiers, it would
imply that his state is not solid but more like liquid. This would explain how
he merges with Yuma's Black Trigger mode armor - he probably dissipates into
Triton particles smaller than can be seen with naked eyes and integrates with
Yuma's armor.

When Yuma is in combat mode, he shares Trion with Replica, allowing Replica to
perform trigger functions. Since triggers are small computers that really just
perform complex calculations using Trion and then output the result, we can
assume Replica has his own trigger, which is used as a node for Yuma's Black
Trigger.

This is all speculations on my part, though.

Kuma still has his black trigger. As a damaged trigger body is completely
repaired when the user's Trion returns, the above could be reversed merely by
having Kuma use his black trigger. Also Replica is frequently summoned without
the use of the black trigger. While this is not all outright stated and so
could easily be overruled by writers later, having the autonomous Trion
soldier and the black trigger be part of the same thing is contradictory to
the way triggers behave.
