Basically, my question is, does >!Nishinomura have their own Break and Seal counter?!<

Because we know that up until 400 years ago they were "dedicated to producing chosen twins", so they must have expected to have Break and Seal and some point, but despite that, Sayuu was in posession of Higashimura at that point, because the Higashimura lord had the jade necklace.

So, do you think they have their own counter, something equivalent to Sayuu? If they do, my hypothesis is that it would be something like "up and down", based on the expression 上下左右. Which, thinking about it, could apply to Heaven and Earth, Misasagi's tsugai. And speaking of Misasagi, his coulouring looks too much like Right and Left. I would wonder if he himself was the counter if Jin's bullet hadn't graced him (because we know Right and Left are inmune to bullets).

Or maybe the Nishinomura twins wouldn't get Break and Seal but something else altogether and they have the counter to that? The prophecy Asa recites does say "in an eastern village", it says nothing of Nishinomura twins.

Thoughts?

When I first started reading the manga I thought it was weird that every time Asa mentioned the missing parents we'd get a panel of Jin with his expression half or completely obscured whether or not it was him or Asa actually talking. I was suspicious of him for a while, thinking that he had something to do with the parents dissapearance; then after seeing all his actions to protect Asa that suspicions vanished.

Then we continue on with the manga and we find the main lead to the whereabouts of the Twin's parents are Magatsuhi--Ivan's daemons. Not necesarily Ivan, since every time he talks about the parents it sounds like he's bluffing. But the swords had the blood of Mine and Nagisa, and were the ones to tell Asa where to find her parents. Also they are daemons that can teleport people, which would make that airplane disappearance possible.

And you know who's the only character except for Ivan that has ever been seen using a sword in modern times? Jin. (Against Right and Left in that first fight in the parking lot).

Rn Jin is missing, which would make it even more compelling if we found out something bad about him and the twins had to confront him later when he came back.

The only hole in this idea (which I'll admit is a big one) is that Magatsuhi doesn't get along with other tsugai, and Jin seems too attached to Scavenger to leave them to use another tsugai even if it's just for a while.

Thoughts?

Edit: I forgot to add! I also found suspicious that the first example of use for Scavenger he gives to Yuru is bypassing security with material for a hit or terrorism. You know, as you would when boarding a plane.
