On multiple occasions, Seigi's tattoo is described as "triggerless" (this is
the wording used on Crunchyroll). The first time we hear this is near the end
of episode 1, around 22:08. However, when Seigi is talking with Izzy and Tom
on the school roof in episode 2, Izzy tells him that his tattoo is triggered
by blood.

It hardly makes sense for a "triggerless" tattoo to have a trigger. What's the
deal?

(At first glance, this seems like a translation mishap, since the Japanese
word in question is _mugen_ , and I don't know of any way to get from there to
"triggerless". But perhaps there's a good reason for this - I've only seen 3
episodes of the anime to this point, so I'm not very knowledgable about _Taboo
Tattoo_.)

Why is Seigi's tattoo described as "triggerless"?


The manga refers to it as 無鍵 or "keyless." The anime [uses the same
term](http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/tabootattoo/episodes/) (see the Ep. 3
summary).

As for what these keys refer to,

> There are actually 4 Void Makers and they are the keys to the Tattoo Ruins.
> It seems that every Void Maker needs a host to become a "key." So apparently
> Seigi's Void Maker had no compatible host prior to him, thus making it
> "keyless."

His trigger however seems to be blood.

Seigi's Void maker has no other compatible host( _For now because of the fact
that he's the only known host that is compatible with it_ ).. So that makes it
keyless. And the reason why the Void Maker looks like it has a trigger(
_[Blood](https://taboo-tattoo.fandom.com/wiki/Seigi)_ ) because the Void Maker
Simply loves blood.. and Seigi uses blood as a trigger( _Even though it's not
necessary_ ) because he doesn't know how to activate Void Maker without it.. I
think
