Final Fantasy VIII description

Cutting Trigger (カッテングトリガー, Kattengu Torigā?) is a recurring gunblade in the Final Fantasy series, associated with Squall Leonhart. It is a blade with a firing mechanism that boosts Squall's attack power when triggered with the right timing. In games where "gunblade" is not a weapon type, Cutting Trigger is classed as a sword.

Cutting Trigger has a vivid red blade whose shape and coloring resembles the Ragnarok starship.
