"The Moon has many faces." - Nobuhiro Watsuki
The Moon-Fang Buso Renkin Satellite 30 (月牙の武装錬金 サテライト30 Getsuga no Busō Renkin Sateraito Sāti) is the Buso Renkin of Moonface.
Appearance[]
Satellite 30 takes the form of a small yellow and silver crescent moon shaped knife, styled after a deer horn knife with two crescent-moon shapes at the base.
Powers & Abilities[]
Moonface Replication
Moonface Replication: The Satellite 30 can split Moonface into as many as 30 separate bodies that can fight as a unit. Each of the bodies are the same as the original so even if one remains, it can be divided into 30 bodies again. Since this uses a large amount of energy, only a homunculus such as Moonface could use it. Each of the copies have different heads, shaped like the different phases of the moon. These are the known names for some of Moonface's copies (in order of appearance):
- Moonface "Nijurokuya" (ムーンフェイス〝二十六夜〟 Mūnfeisu "Nijūrokuya")
- Moonface "Sengetsu" (ムーンフェイス〝繊月〟 Mūnfeisu "Sengetsu")
- Moonface "Mayutsuki" (ムーンフェイス〝眉月〟 Mūnfeisu "Mayutsuki")
- Moonface "Hihaku" (ムーンフェイス〝朏魄〟 Mūnfeisu "Hihaku")
- Moonface "Kangetsu" (ムーンフェイス〝観月〟 Mūnfeisu "Kangetsu")
- Moonface "Nijusanyamachi" (ムーンフェイス〝二十三夜待〟 Mūnfeisu "Nijūsan'yamachi")
- Moonface "Gyokko" (ムーンフェイス〝玉鈎〟 Mūnfeisu "Gyokkō")
- Moonface "Kagen" (ムーンフェイス〝下弦〟 Mūnfeisu "Kagen")
- Moonface "Mangetsu" (ムーンフェイス〝満月〟 Mūnfeisu "Mangetsu")
- Moonface "Shingetsu" (ムーンフェイス〝新月〟 Mūnfeisu "Shingetsu")
Weaknesses[]
- The more copies Moon Face makes, the harder it is for him to coordinate complicated moves.
Trivia[]
- The "role title" of this Buso Renkin is "Getsuga", which literally translates to "Moon Fang". This, along with Secret Trail and Sword Samurai X, are the only Buso Renkin whose "role titles" are entirely in Japanese. All other Buso Renkin have names spelled with kanji but read as (sometimes broken) English.
- Nobuhiro Watsuki says that he got the idea of Satellite 30 from the character Agent Smith from The Matrix Reloaded.
- Watsuki notes that the Moon Fang refers to the type of blade found on several Chinese weapons and is not the proper name of a weapon. The houtengeki, goshukou, and shiboenouetsu all have moon-shaped blades.
