Personality[]
As they name would suggest, the Double Mind twins' possess a telepathic link which means they not only share a single personality but also speak at the same time about the same things. They appear frank and direct, speaking in a controlled manner and acting calm and composed in front of the Tatsumi brothers while carrying out their plan.[1] However, they're also shown to lose their cool when faced with unexpected situations, such as the trap laid out by Sharyuu's group in the cave.[2] They show reverence and respect to Baron Sue and particularly Dandy Lion, referring to him as 'king' and following his orders to the letter.[2] They seem to share the Tatsumi brothers' animosity towards other twins, although it's unclear if their intent to kill was genuine or merely a part of the plan to attack them.[1] Like all the other war criminals, they hate war and will gladly forfeit their own lives in order to eradicate it.[3]
Relationships[]
M2222[]
Due to the connected nature of their minds, the twins' relationship is hard to define, though they appear serve as a support system for one another, backing each other while they were separated and in confinement, and after their reunion, they appear to be inseparable.[1]
Appearance[]
W2222 and M2222 are fraternal twins, their appearances differing quite a bit. M2222 is a tall and built boy with a rounded face, big round black eyes and slightly curly blonde hair styled in a bob haircut, covering his right eye. He is shown wearing a white sailor uniform with a black belt, a blue collar and cuffs and a yellow ribbon, alongside a matching hat. He also wears simple black boots, and his belt buckle is a golden roman numeral Ⅱ, signifying the symbol of Gemini.
Background[]
The Double Mind twins originate from an illegal human experiment conducted by a certain military organization with the objective of creating a perfect soldier. Considered failures, they were moved to separate facilities and their existence was concealed. Surviving by encouraging each other through their telepathy, the organization eventually fell apart and the twins were rescued from their imprisonment (W2222 by a revolutionary army and M2222 by an NGO). Serving their time separately as warriors, they eventually had an emotional reunion on a battlefield. They became wanted as war criminals for the theft of an aircraft carrier and a nuclear submarine, which they committed for unknown reasons.[1]
Abilities & Equipment[]
- Telepathy (
精神感応 , Seishin Kannō): The Double Mind twins have powers of telepathy resulting from the human experiments conducted on them since birth. Their minds are constantly linked and they can communicate with one another at all times, regardless of the distance between them[1]. Additionally, they are capable of remotely controlling machines, as they were shown to control the aircraft carrier and nuclear submarine used in the air strike on the twelve warriors' fortress[2]. - War Hammer (ウォーハンマー, Wō Hanmā): M2222's weapon of choice. Although called a war hammer, it looks closer to a morning star, its black metallic shaft attached to an iron ball fitted with multiple blunt spikes. The handle takes the shape of a number of small spheres stuck to one another. The star-shaped weapon matches his sister's Crossbow, which is decorated with star-shaped ornaments.
- Nuclear Submarine (
原潜 , Gensen): A nuclear submarine stolen by M2222, which landed him on the most wanted list as a war criminal. He is shown controlling it remotely with his telepathy[2].
