In [[Chrono Trigger]], Masa and Mune are first encountered in the [[Denadoro Mountains]], during the quest to find the Masamune. Initially appearing as children, Masa and Mune chide the party for seeking the blade, pointing out that humans never seem to understand the sword's true purpose, and generally see the Masamune as a prestigious or powerful weapon. Masa is a slightly more childlike personality, whereas Mune is more philosophical and even slightly cynical. The children transform into their natural forms (cloaked figures with pointed ears and yellow skin) and engage [[Crono]] and his allies as a test of their mettle. Masa and Mune use the [[X-Strike]] dual-tech throughout the battle. | |||
When one of the twins has taken enough damage to fall, the battle stops. Masa and Mune observe that Crono and his companions are serious about their convictions, and that only [[Cyrus]] had ever made it this far in their test. They then fuse into a single, massively muscled creature and attack once more, making extensive use of wind techniques during the battle. During the fight, the creature will periodically charge up a vortex attack that can be dissipated by Crono's [[Slash]] Tech. | When one of the twins has taken enough damage to fall, the battle stops.

It is unknown how exactly Masa and Mune became the living spirits of the Masamune, as the twins predate the creation of the sword. One possible explination centers around [[Enhasa]], the Zeal city of Dreams. When Crono plunges the [[Red Knife]] into the [[Mammon Machine]] (the event that creates the Masamune), Mune whispers to Crono that they (Masa and Mune) embody [[Melchior]]'s dreams. It is possible that Mune was not speaking figuratively; instead, he was explaining that, as a Guru of Zeal, Masa and Mune were literally manifestations of Melchior's powerful desire to help humanity. | It is unknown how exactly Masa and Mune became the living spirits of the Masamune, as the twins predate the creation of the sword.

==Chrono Cross== | |||
In [[Chrono Cross]], the brothers (along with their sister Doreen) return as avatars of the Masamune. Though less central to the game's storyline, the Masamune remains a powerful, though corrupt, weapon. After defeating [[Dario]] during a sidequest, Masa and Mune will appear and reveal that the evil power which corrupts the weapon was allowed to enter because they were sleeping. Their big sister Doreen appears and, after chastising the boys for allowing this to happen, she fuses herself into the blade, along with the brothers and [[Serge]]'s original weapon, the [[Sea Swallow]]. This creates the [[Mastermune]], the most powerful weapon in the game. | In [[Chrono Cross]], the brothers (along with their sister Doreen) return as avatars of the Masamune.
