So, not many know this, due to Janus’s past not being included in WA3, but Sniper Shark XR, the bayonet ARM he wielded up to the end of Chapter 1, wasn’t originally his; It was passed down to him by Keziah, his big sister figure seen in the Japan-only manga short at the end of the Complete Guide.

Keziah was, according to Word of God, a person who embraced justice, which made her just like Virginia.

So this random headcanon popped into my head sometime ago while I talked about it with a friend.

Keziah learned how to handle the bayonet from her father, who passed it down to her sometime in her life years before she met the young Janus. This is a parallel to Virginia learning how to use ARMs thanks to her father, Werner.
