Vulnificus (バルニフィカス Barunifikasu) is Levi the Slasher's axe-shaped Device.
It is initially introduced in The Battle of Aces as a copy of Bardiche Assault, having identical appearances except its main color is dark indigo with blue gem. However, as there is no notable AI, it is not known whether Vulnificus can also be classified as an Intelligent Device.
Name[]
Its name is derived from Vibrio vulnificus, a type of rod-shaped bacteria.
Appearances[]
Alternate continuities[]
Vulnificus primarily appears alongside its master in the portable continuity.
It is also adapted in the Brave Duel continuity as Levi's Brave Duel Device (see Vulnificus). Its basic designs are revised according to those of Bardiche Assault in The MOVIE 2nd A's, with extra designs added as additional forms (e.g. Hyper Slicer Form).
In the movie continuity, Vulnificus appears as Levi's Device in Reflection and Detonation with significant changes in design. Instead of a copy, it is a modified arrangement based on Bardiche Assault.
Forms[]
In The Gears of Destiny, it is not known whether Vulnificus has a standby form like Bardiche Assault's Standby Form, although Levi is sometimes seen in her Slash Suit but without Vulnificus. On another hand, its three battle forms are referred to by Levi therein. As Levi acquires her personal magic color, the mana blades of Vulnificus also changes from golden to aqua blue.
