The Taikioku Wear (たいきょくの服, Taikyoku no Fuku) is a type of equipment available in Suikoden.

The Taikioku Wear is a very powerful piece of end-game equipment. It is the best kenpo-type armour available in the game. The name means "opposite" or "antipodal", in reference to its dual-colour and Taoist symbolism.

Information

These strange clothes of foreign make is comprised of two heavily contrasting colours; black and white. This is meant to represent the virtues of yin and yang. Although it appears to be a normal kenpo, it heavily reduces the amount of damage the wearer takes and even increases the speed of the person wearing it.

During the Gate Rune War, the Rock Buster monsters of Seek Valley could sometimes be found carrying this garment.
