The world is triggered…

New chap's out: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3897196135?fr=frs
! So mostly Yuuma and Osamu chapter. Hoped we get to see Chika doing some sniper training to get over her fear shooting humans else she cannot go on expeditions to search for her big bro.
Probably too early for that yet.
! So Kageura can "sort of" read minds. More like feel hostility and such. Still useful in the battlefield, you surely cannot sneak up on that guy in chameleon or wormbag.
! Osamu goes to Izumi for more training where he meets Takeru who seems like the big bro of the idiot trio, like seriously. XD
They talk about what Osamu got teached so far and it looks like Osamu has to beat shitty Takeru 100 times in solo battles before Izumi will teach him anything. Doubt Osamu can achieve that before the next match.^^;p-kun did some quick translation over what's happening/is talked about in there:
! - Kageura's SE is skin based. Other people's feelings/thoughts about him create pricking sensation to his skin. Different feelings give different sensations. Negative feelings are very unpleasant to him. Murakami and Yuuma agreed that Kageura's live must have been difficult because of his SE. It seems that Kageura really hates attracting other people's attention or crowded places because of the SE. Based on Murakami's description, Kageura is aggressive, has no delicacy in his words, but does not have two face, so Yuuma (who has lie detecting SE) will get along with him.
- Kageura team has no interest to be in expedition, but they have no intention to have a weaker team rank higher than them.
- Izumi calls Takeru a "baggage." Takeru is solo A class but his actual ability is only slightly higher than Osamu (implying that Izumi and Tachikawa have been subsidizing Takeru's points, most likely through team victories). Takeru might be rich and connected, considering his insult to Karasuma for being poor.
- According to Tachikawa, the team symbol has 3 swords: one for Tachikawa, one for Izumi, one for Tachikawa's second Kougetsu (LOL). Kunichika is the moon behind the swords. As long as Takeru is not capable, he doesn't deserve to be the third sword. Even Izumi (who tells Osamu that if Takeru is mean to him again, he'll take responsibility and kick him - BTW Takeru is in trion body, otherwise Izumi won't kick him) thinks that Tachikawa is being too mean to Takeru.
- Osamu unfortunately seems to be fixated on getting more destructive power instead of fine tuning his shooting skills. When Izumi asks him why he wants to learn hybrid bullets, he says that's because he was impressed with the power of Nasu's bullets when they obliterated him. Fortunately, his mentors are wiser. Arashiyama instead taught him attack strategies suitable for people with LOW trion. Osamu has learned how to open up enemies with shields and without shields, such as bagworm snipers (so they can't use shields with bagworm) and full attacking gunners/snipers. With regards to strategies against better attackers, Kitora refuses to teach him further because his level is too low to learn high level stuff. Izumi says Kitora is being cheeky, though he agrees that there's nothing much to teach Osamu at his level.
- Izumi refuses to a newbie how to merge bullets. He tells Osamu to grind for exp by winning against Takeru 100 times. (I think it's a good opportunity for Osamu to practice what Arashiyama taught him too.) Yuuma and Midorikawa had 20(?) solo matches in one hour or so, so it's possible to grind by having solo matches non stop in 4-5 days, but it's probably hard.
-
So why is Takeru on the team if he's so weak? Do Tachikawa and Izumi just use him as a decoy? Maybe he's really good on defense or something
-

Maybe family influence? Who knows, we will see his real skills soon in the 1-1 fights against Osamu. Hope Osamu can gain some victories there and doesn't need 20+ loses till he gets his first victory.^^

Oh Lawdy, I'm getting exited! The anime finally reached the B-rank wars and watching the curbstomps that were Tamakoma-2's first two matches has me pumped for what's next :D Arafune Squad vs. Suwa Squad vs. Tamakoma-2 is gonna be a great watch; I hope they step up the animation yet another notch for the highlights.
-
It was announced that World Trigger will have a new spin-off anime series premiering this October.
Gonna be an original story with completely new characters. Kind of surprising, not really sure what to think about it.

It was one match against 2 teams. Which is also why I can't wait for the next match to start where Tamakoma 2 will have to fight three teams for the first time. I'm excited as well, can't wait for Nasu's and ehr teamamtes's voices. <3

I really hope this gonna be about "Old Border" aka the times where Border was an unknown and secret and much smaller organisation with Jin, Konami and Shinoda and such as main characters! I'd love such an anime and I'm sure Ashihara has done an "prologe" to WT with Old Border so that he can retell that story sometimes later on in the main manga.
-
I don't think Toei has what it takes to make anime original content compelling. There seems to be a lack of storytellers in the anime industry…..
-
So who thinks Osamu can manage to get 100 victories against the weakest A rank Agent before the round 4 match starts?^^
-
I reeeaally hope so (The guy is a jerk and Osamu really needs to prove himself in combat and make actual progress), but somehow I don't see him pulling it off. I don't think Osamu will greatly improve his combat skills that quick, he's not very talented at combat after all.
-
@James:

hey, i noticed you usually do a quick summary of the chapters every week or so, you wouldn't happen to have one for this week's would you?

He is a spoiled jerk, so perhaps if he gets more humble (which I hope he does), he will stop being a 24/7 jerk. Also it's funny seeing him cry due the harrassing of Izumi and Tachikawa. XD
Combat is like sport, the more you do it, the better you get at it. So Osamu will learn something from those matches, just more basic stuff, like where do I move and how do i move when I run away or follow somebody who runs away, how to I defend myself against shots, how do I prepare a plan in my mind to see if I can surprise attack my opponent, etc and etc.
It's not the "cool" stuff like the composite bullets, but neccessary stuff he needs for the future before he can learn advanced techniques.hey, i noticed you usually do a quick summary of the chapters every week or so, you wouldn't happen to have one for this week's would you?
I used to, but now p-kun does summary translations so I do the lazy things and sometimes copypaste what he translated here. Here's the stuff for chapter 110.^^
! Tachikawa team war room
- Yuiga doesn't want to do any fight if it's not team based. Having to lose 100 times from a B ranker tramples his pride. Izumi drags Yuiga anyway saying that someone with pride will not act like Yuiga. Yuiga asks for human rights organization to rescue him from Izumi's abuse over his feelings (LOL).
- Osamu vs Yuga: 8 vs. 2 in 10 matches. Yuiga starts bragging.
- Izumi tells Osamu that he should realize it's not easy to put what Arashiyama team has taught into practice, huh (wow, Izumi is surprisingly a good mentor). Anyway, 2 wins down, 98 more to go.
- Osamu ponders that Karasuma and Arashiyama were right: when he's concentrating on hitting, his movement becomes stiff. Though Yuiga compares poorly to the top fighters in some B ranked teams, so Osamu thinks that his win rate can increase if he can fix his movement deficiency.
- Osamu requests 10 more matches. Yuiga, who's in positive mood, tells Osamu that he'll help his junior.
- Osamu continues to wonder why Yuiga is an A rank.
! Tamakoma
- Karasuma tells the team that Yuiga is the son of Border's biggest sponsor. When he joined, he asked A-rank team straight away. The upper echelon put him in Tachikawa's team, but it turns out to be different than he expects. (in the background, Izumi is bullying Yuiga).
- Yuuma sarcastically remarks that there's also "another way" to become A ranker. Karasuma says yes, if you want to be an A ranker in name only. Without real skill, it'll only be hard for you.
! Tamakoma (11 Feb)
- Usami laments why Chika didn't tell her in advance that it's her birthday so she can plan a celebration.
- Chika is gloomy because she accidentally told Yuzuru that she cannot hit humans. Osamu reprimands her but it is something that other enemies can speculate from the records anyway. In particular, Yuuma thinks that Ninomiya must have noticed the similarities between Chika and Hatohara. Hatohara's mentor, Asuma, must have noticed too. (So all enemies know already)
- In the next match, the team will have to work harder to make sure Chika is well hidden because it'll be open season for Chika's blood now that enemies know that Chika cannot retaliate.
- Yuuma suggests that Chika shoots enemies when the enemies think that she cannot shoot. But Chika looks reluctant.
- Anyway, there's a lot of things to do. Map choosing right will be with other team. They need to research enemy teams' fighting styles, practice some basic teamwork, and improve individual skills.
! Asuma war room
- Okudera and Koarai are debating strategy for the next match. Koarai thinks that they need to pick gimmicky map like Nasu team to beat B-1 and B-2.
- Okudera says that at the end, Nasu lost despite the map. Nasu team's strategy depended too much on luck in getting good spawning points. In a 4-way battle, the strategy has little chance of succeeding.
- Koarai thinks that they have little chance anyway.
- Okudera thinks that even if they win this match by a stroke of luck, the victory cannot be sustained.
- Mako stops them from fighting.
- Asuma asks them to put aside the disagreement for the time being and discuss their agreement. (Asuma seems very hands off, letting the team makes their own the strategy and giving only inputs.)
- Okudera and Koarai thinks that the next opponent teams all have ranged attackers. Compare this to their team, which only has one ranged attacker, Asuma. They need to select map that shuts down ranged attacks. Then their team, which has 2 attackers, will have advantage. The two intend to pick enemies one by one using combination attacks.
- Azuma smiles and says that's new. Usually the two fight over points.
- Azuma's line of sight will need heavy support from Mako, as he'll be disadvantaged too.
- Azuma asks what to do with Chika and Kitazoe, who don't care about landscape (whoa, hype, Kitazoe is as strong as Chika?). Okudera leaves this issue to Azuma.
- Azuma says he can handle the two but he requests non-gimmicky map (so Okudera wins the map debate).
- Now that the big picture strategy is set, next, they'll study the records. In particular, Tamakoma has little data. Then they'll study the map and note good places for attacks.
- Azuma reminds the 2 that "to win in strategy…" The two answers "you have to take into account the opponents ability to strategize"
- Happy with the answer, Azuma tells them to use the 4 days to make this battle into a "winnable battle."
! Kageura Team's war room
- Kageura is watching Yuuma vs. Murakami record. Yuzuru and Kitazoe come in and are surprised at this sight saying that if Kageura watches records, then it might snow later. Kitazoe is particularly moved to tears.
- Yuzuru also wants to watch the records (shyly).
! Tachikawa's war room (14 Feb, 1 day before the match)
- Osamu vs. Yuiga: 48 vs. 152. Izumi pities him and offer to lower the threshold to 50 wins.
- Osamu refuses. He realizes that even if he learns hybrid bullets now, he's not good enough to use them anyway. (Osamu has grown, I'm happy!) But the experience from fighting Yuiga has let Osamu learn how to hit with his bullets against opponents who are not too strong, so he's confident he'll be much more useful in the next round.
! Rank battle day
- Commentator: Ayatsuji, Kazama, Kako. Kako gives valentine chocolates to the first two. Kazama immediately munches on his. (he looks so small compared to Kako)
- Map: City B, plenty of high and low buildings. Line of sight for ranged attacks is not good. Azuma team probably picks this map to make it easy to close in to enemies. Weather: snow, a lot of snow piling up already. Time: seems to be night.
- Ayatsuji wonders if this will be like Nasu team's strategy: changing weather setting and aim to divide the enemies.
- Kako says that Azuma is not a gambler, so it's unlikely.
-
Spoilers for chapter 111 are out.
! CH 111 spoiler
! Battle Field- Transfer in, most teams are evenly spread across the field.
- Tamakoma and Asuma teams immediately try to regroup. Ninomiya orders his team to move individually and hunt the enemies from the weakest to the strongest. Kageura and Yuuma are single out as exception for this order. Engaging any of the two should be done by 2 people.
! Commentator:
- Asuma's team map choice is criticized for being too complicated and Ninomiya's team decision to split is also criticized (not clear by who). Kako says that the map is definitely chosen by Koarai, as this is not Asuma's style. She also criticized Ninomiya's decision.
! Battle field:
- Osamu has problems moving due to snow (uh oh!).
- It's raining meteor, thanks to Kitazoe. He doesn't care about accuracy, just using meteor as annoyance.
- Ninomiya decides to engage with Kitazoe. He tells his teammates to hunt for Mikumo team.
- Yuzuru and the team operator help Kitazoe run away.
! Middle side of the field:
- Kageura is looking for Yuuma because he interests Kageura the most (as expected)
- Asuma team plans to kill enemies starting from the weakest. Yuuma and 1 other (not specified who) enter their sniping range.
- It's looking to be a free for all battle in the middle of the field.
! Tamakoma branch:
- Youtarou, Hyuse, and Jin are watching the match.
- Youtarou complains that all enemy teams are hunting on Osamu's team. Hyuse says that it's because they are weak.
- Jin makes a bet with Hyuse, if Jin wins (that is if Osamu's team wins), Hyuse will grant him one request. If Hyuse wins, he'll do any one thing that Hyuse requests, such as returning Hyuse's trigger.
! Battle field:
- The white haired guy from Ninomiya's team faces Osamu.
! The spoilers are updated with some more details.
- Ninomiya's team operator is called Hyami (18 years old). Kageura's is Nire (17 years old).
- Ninomiya's teammates: the white haired (or blond or whatever the white drawing is supposed to represent) is a gunner, which is good I suppose, as Osamu has the most experience against gunner thanks to Yuiga. His personality so far seems to be similar to Izumi (easygoing, bad mouth). The black haired is an attacker. Names are still not mentioned in the spoiler.
- Kitazoe's trigger is a gattling gun with big barrel (another unique gun, I guess gunners have a lot of options in gun styles)
! Also additional info/clarity/correction:
- Kako criticizes Ninomiya's slow decision making (it took time for him to think before deciding to split the team). Kazama defends this slowness because Ninomiya must have been wondering why Azuma chose this map. This type of map is not Azuma's style. Kako replies that Koarai must have been the one choosing the map. This is confirmed via flashback.
- Ninomiya, with both hands in his pocket, attacks Kitazoe with asteroid. Kitazoe's reaction when he sees Ninomiya is to run for his life. Yuzuru helps him by sniping Ninomiya but Ninomiya blocks it easily. Then Yuzuru tells Kitazoe "good luck" and stops helping him. Presumably Yuzuru needs to relocate, otherwise Ninomiya's team can attack him. I think Ninomiya's black haired teammate has not been mentioned. Perhaps he will hunt for Yuzuru and we can see Attacker vs. Sniper action.
- Azuma's team is targeting Tamakoma, but as usual Yuuma is an exception. Unfortunately for them, Yuuma is the one within their range. The other person that enters the range with Yuuma is still not clarified. But presumably that's Kageura.
Looks dire for our MC team. XD
Raw's out:

! Youtarou: So who do you think is going to win, Jin?
Jin: My side effect tells me it'll be Osamu's team.
Hyuse: lol, bro….....they're weak.
Jin: Let's make a bet.
Hyuse: Ok.
Youtarou: ................are you a dumbass? Why would you bet against Jin of all people.
Jin: XD -

Jin: XDHonestly though, I think Jin gonna
! lose this bet. 2 former A teams and the Azuma team are just too much too handle for Yuuma alone. Chika won't hurt a fly and even despite his 200 matches Osamu will need an amazing plan or tons of luck to be able to defeat Ninomiya's gunner on his own. Hell, it would already be great if he manages to get away without getting killed/injured too much!
! I'd love to see Osamu OWN that blone bishie guy, but heck, that would be close to the realm of miracles for it to happen. >.<
! Or we are lucky and that dude is so overconfident against Osamu that he makes a fatal mistake Osamu can make use of with the stuff he learned from Arashiyama/his battles against Yuiga, THEN I can hope for a point victory for Osamu which alone will make Ninomiya get all "tch!" for sure!!! I'd love to see that! <3 -
! Jin's an master manipulator due to his side effect. He's not going to make a "bet" unless it'll have a favorable outcome for whatever he is planning at the end. I don't really see the benefit Jin will get out of making a bet that'll lead to Hyuse winning unless Hyuse somehow gets tricked into asking for something that helps out Border unknowingly. If Jin win's, he can ask Hyuse to help Border whenever they plan the Neighbor World rescue missions.
! Regardless of that though, even if Osamu's team doesn't win. Ninomiya has being tripping loser flags left and right. He's going to be defeated by someone (most likely Yuuma if it's not going to be Osamu) in the next Rank Battle and end up being humbled. -

What if Jin foresaw that Hyuse gonna need his trigger for whatever reason? Like another neighbor attack to which Hyuse decides to help out Border because said neighbor is like the eternal sworn enemy of Aftokrator and thus gets closer to Border by working with them and so on? A bit farfetched but then again Jin can see pretty far into the future when it is a certain event, maybe this one is certain but only if he gets his trigger and for that Jin needs a reason to make sure that Hyuse gets his trigger "on his own" and not get told to take up that trigger because Jin foresaw that he will help them out on his own will. Because then Hyuse might be so stubborn that he refuses alone to not be manipulated.
! I also hope Ninomiya loses/gets killed. I would love for CHika to be the one who delievers the kill shot but I doubt that will happen as awesome as that would be.^^ -
A four-way winter battle, loving the different setting already. I'm all up for impressive feats by Kageura und Ninomiya Squad, but I expect Asuma Squad to deliver a tactical surprise as well. Now I only need Chika getting a kill by shooting at people and Osamu at least hitting some of his shots :D
-
Ninomiya squad shouldn't be allowed to have suits, they look to cool and that's an unfair advantage. That page where all of Ninomya squad and Kuga doge the explosive shots looked so good and that in contrast to Osamu barely dodging the explosion the page before was great.
These B rank battles just keep getting better and better.

Asuma got the tactical skills to be good for a surprise or two. Really hope Osamu is able to get a kill on his own this match, Chika I dunno if she's ready yet to shoot human beings. :/

! Didn't expect osamu to go down so quickly but at least he put up a good fight. I hope this means that we are going to see his tactical side, giving instructions from the team's room.
! Also, now there's a building full of enemies… maybe Chika can do some demolition work. -

Btw it says World Trigger will be absent in issue #39. Also no WSJ next week due to Obon so we're in for a long break. :sad:
-

Their operator looks really beautiful too. <3
Hatohara must have really stood out in that team with her plain look. xD
I bet Ninomiya's squad would totally be used for advertisement in Border recruitment if it werent for Arashiyama and his squad.^^@.:Nonsh:.:

! Also, now there's a building full of enemies… maybe Chika can do some demolition work.! Honestly, I didn't either but I feared for it as it was the most realistic conclusion. And Ashihara so far always had let things happen pretty realisticly, even the invasion didn't turned into a victory where everyone was happy and crying tears of sadness and a new chapter/era was drawn that day/etc and etc. It was a hardly won battle of Border with a good outcome yet one they still had to take responsibility for.
! So Osamu getting killed first as he is the weakest agent on the field (expect Chika but Chika doesn't shoot people so everyone can ignore her) and is in a battle against A veterans and near A rank B agents.
! Guess next thing Osamu gotta learn is how to handle snipers in battle as a shooter.
! I wish Chika would shot that building with those 4 being all "YOU FUCKERS! DIE!!!" but that never gonna happen. XD! Well that was disappointing… I was expecting more of Osamu this time around. Hopefully you're right and we see him masterminding some crazy stuff from the team room, he really needs to redeem himself.
Btw it says World Trigger will be absent in issue #39. Also no WSJ next week due to Obon so we're in for a long break. :sad:
! While it was sad and I can understand that it feels disappointing, I think this was done pretty great by Osamu.
Again, what could we really expect of that guy, in a battle against an A rank veteran, all alone without support of Yuuma or Chika fighting in sucha difficult terrain? That he didn't got killed imediately, entered a building to draw this into a melee battle and had prepared an asteroid trap shows that Osamu is learning and advancing. However such basic tricks ofc do not work on somebody who must have had like a 1000 battles already and fought people like Izumi 1-1. :/
! So I see nothing Osamu has to "redeem" for as his kill was from his persepctive unexpected as Asuma shoot through an entire building not even seeing Osamu. Asuma's whole shot was based on the math his operator did and showed him via her computer. That is high tier stuff, and I am not talking about B high tier that was clearly A tier shot which proves that Asuma really had once been the leader of A 1 in the past.
! In other words, Osamu did his best as a noob, it wasn't enough. Sucks, but he will get better with time as seen with how he withstood an A rank gunner who clearly would ahve killed him a week ago in under a minute.
! It is just a very realistic approach on a weak guy growing slowly stronger. We will probably never see for Osamu a gum-gum fruit to eat to be able to kill tons of cannon fodder, we will never see Osamu with a demon inside his belly which gives him amazing power for some small-talk in exchange, we will never see Osamu having some neighbor superelite as parents, we will never see him getting a black trigger (I really doubt this ever gonna happen) coming out of a tower giving him a convienient weapon that destroys all trion upon the slightest touch and we will never see him getting the Nr1 strongest Quirk in the world for his sense of justice.
Life is one hell of an unfair bitch in World Trigger to our MC and that is how reality works: Being unfair and slow.
I mean heck, look at his points! He even lost a couple points due his training with Yuiga!
Osamu's points 4309(chot 94)→4282(chpt 112)
Whereas Yuuma got more points in that time:
Yuma's Points - Scoprion 4817(chpt 93)→5172(112)
! That's frustrating but we gotta live with that for like another 200+ chapters before Osamu reaches A rank on his own and has a book series on tricks he can use in battle against stronger opponents.Aw, this sucks. Two more weeks without WT. D:
I hope next year Ashihara is back to his full health again. :c -

The next arc is probably going to be the neighbor invasion arcs. If Osamu is getting owned now against A/B rank Border agents, he's really screwed next arc. Especially since he may even face off against some Black Trigger level neighbors. So unless Ashihara is planning a timeskip where Osamu is badass all of a sudden, realistically with these extremely poor level of progression he's going through right now he should get killed off really early. If he somehow survives it, lol at realism

! I think you mean the Neighbor Expedition arc, not Invasion Arc. Also while that one is "planned" to be early on, it can still be hindered, for example by another Neighbor Invasion on Border meaning they can't just let 6-8 A agents go on an expedition or which is also possible due the world goverments interfering with Border control over Mikado city/their trigger technology and Border needs all the strength they got to show nations with nuclear weapons that they should not take them on lightly.
! Plus even if said Arc/expedition does happen while Osamu is at this level, it would still fit the realism. Ninomiya already gave an option Tamakoma 2 could use to take part in the expedition, sort of. Have Yuuma leave the team, get A rank on his own and enter the expedition force due him having the largest knowledge of the neighbor nations of all A agents.
! Given Osamu's lack of experience and skills, both things which he can cover with enough time and training, and Chika not being able to shoot humans and so far not even trying to aim at them directly for a kill shot, the team has no snowball chance in hell to make A rank and even if then Border would never chose those two for the mission when they got people like Kazama, Izumi and Tachikawa to chose from.
! So there will be no "Osamu gonna face BT neighbor soldiers in neighbor nations and somehow survives that, lololololol" scenario as he never gonna even get there in the first place.
THAT'S the kinda realism I'm talking about.
! Osamu got shown his limit here. He will need months before he has the fundation to make A rank. Same for Chika who needs special training to harden her will to "kill" people. Expect she somehow overcomes her fear in this battle which i doubt gonna happen. Depending on how Yuuma's fight with Kageura goes, this might even turn into a battle where Tamakoma 2 loses with 0 points dropping back to like 10th rank or so. Meaning they would have to fight the same mid tier teams as before although now said teams know much more about them and will likely change their strategy in regards to Tamakoma 2 (like ignoring Yuuma/keeing him busy for a bit and kill Osamu/Chika first unlike their "we gotta focus on Yuuma then Osamu/Chika are easy game" strategy before) and said battles gonna be harder than before. -
! honestly I half expected Osamu to go out first but I thought he'd at least take someone with him. People are wishing that china would buck up and shoot at people, and honestly I think that'll happen this time around. A perfect scenario has been built right from the start for her destructive power. With one shot she could crush that building taking most of them by surprise. But maybe saumya is waiting for her to make a move? But hey the may actually lose this battle and have to try again, after more training?? Who knows.

@James:
! I think you mean the Neighbor Expedition arc, not Invasion Arc. Also while that one is "planned" to be early on, it can still be hindered, for example by another Neighbor Invasion on Border meaning they can't just let 6-8 A agents go on an expedition or which is also possible due the world goverments interfering with Border control over Mikado city/their trigger technology and Border needs all the strength they got to show nations with nuclear weapons that they should not take them on lightly.
! Plus even if said Arc/expedition does happen while Osamu is at this level, it would still fit the realism. Ninomiya already gave an option Tamakoma 2 could use to take part in the expedition, sort of. Have Yuuma leave the team, get A rank on his own and enter the expedition force due him having the largest knowledge of the neighbor nations of all A agents.

Yeah, I mean Neighbor Expediation arc. I don't really see another invansion happening so soon. We just had a 40+ chapter invasion last arc. Which should then lead into another B Rank Battle tournament again if T2 doesn't get A rank during this tournament. It'll be extremely repetitive and really hurt the pacing of the manga to have two big similar arcs one after another. If they lose here, we'll most likely get a training timeskip leading into another B Rank Battle. But then that is still repetitve since we just had a B rank Battle which has been going on for 30+ chapters. Do we really need to see another one again which basically have the same teams again? It maybe even longer since the other teams will use different strategies since they faced T2 before.
! Osamu isn't going to be left behind if an expediaton happens. Yuma is doing this whole "team" thing for Osamu and Chika. He's not going to leave the team and do his own thing like Ninomiya stated. Hell, he's only still in the Border world to help them rank up as a team so that Chika can save her brother. Yuma leaving the team will be way out of character for him. -

! Maybe there can be a small arc with Jin, Hughs and/or secondary characters, with some training panels in between. Then a small timeskip (similar to what happened before the enlistment day) to the next rank wars but skipping all the 3-team battles, perhaps using one chapter to show the recaps and some analysis from some A-rank. I don't think it will feel too repetitive that way.

! Yeah, I also hoped this would be the match for Osamu to get a point by his own efforts. Alas it was too high a hurdle with such agents exceeding those from their last mid tier battle and back then Osamu already lost against Nasu/would have lost against other agents as well in a 1-1. It would be awesome if Chika takes Osamu's early death as a motivation to start shooting at human targets but I just can't see her doing that just yet. But if she stays the way she is, she will never be chosen for an away mission even if she makes A rank someday.

Hell, he's only still in the Border world to help them rank up as a team so that Chika can save her brother. Yuma leaving the team will be way out of character for him.! Doesn't have to be n invasion. It could fugitives fleeing from a dying neighbor world asking for asyl or another neighbor nation coming to ask for trade and aid in a neighbor war. The neighborhood is vast and full of different nations, it is likely that among them are some who don't see Meeden/Earth as an invasion target but as something else. I dunno how Ashihara gonna handle this current Arc. I doubt Tamakoma 2 gonna make it to the top 2 positions to get the right to fight for a A team place. Not with two fromer A teams being in the tournament and certainly not with the level Osamu and Chika got currently. A level which I doubt they can raise to A status in the matches/weeks left in the tournament.
! I wouldn't see such matches as repetitive though given the maps are always different as well as the strategies the teams develop. Like you said, next time the mid tier teams woudl meet Tamakoam 2 they will surely handle them differently than before and seeing how Osamu, Yuuma and Chika will deal with that can be pretty enjoyable even if it is done against the same opponents they had fought a couple weeks ago. Plus the set-up could be different, for example instead of fighting Arafune-Suwa again it would be Arafune-Suzunari again or even a Suwa-Nasu-some other team which made it to mid tier level during the time to make it a 4 team battle.
! I don't think leaving the team is out of character for Yuuma, given that it is only temporarly aka for this one away missionand it is done with the agreement of Osamu and Yuuma. They need to find out information regarding Chika's brother as soon as possible and the best way to make sure that happens is if one of them goes with such an expedition to keep an eye and ear open for such information. And the only one who can do so is Yuuma.
Granted that would mean Yuuma leving the team and Tamakoma 2 losing their Ace but it could also mean that the two would have to look for a new teammate who will be the 4th member upon Yuuma's return as well as them changing their strategies due Yuuma being on an away mission.
! This way we could have two seperate arcs, one where we got chapters with Yuuma and other A ranks dealing with neighbor nations and getting information and another with Osamu and Chika staying at home, training hard to overcome their weaknesses and trying their best to keep/increase their B rank without super veteran Yuuma around to help. That could be done very interestingly if done right and I believe Ashihara would successing doing so after reading his Invasion arc. -
! just thinking outside the box here a bit! but if China has so much triton and she learned to control it! she could theoretically control multiple rifles at once right? Like have several different locations set up with rifles to go off at any given time?? Or is it you can only utilize one weapon? I forget the rules, but that would be pretty sick, and a different take on her ability rather than just "nuke'm". Also, if she could tone down the explosive power maybe she could dis arm people and let the attackers finish? Idk I'm just speculating lolol
-
! You know at this point I see this match serving as a brutal reminder of reality. The other Squads just completely exceed Tamakoma in experience and individual skill is only gonna get them so far. Yuuma will probably go down relatively early this time as well, emphasizing on the border (pun intended) that's still between them and A-rank. Yuuma can't carry the entire squad forever, Osamu and Chika need to improve their fighting capabilities, too.

! Maybe, we already know of a "double sniper" agent so Chika could certainly handle at least two guns at once. XD
What she needs would be a rocket launcher on her shoulder though, she could wipe out entire areas with such a weapon trigger!!

! Tbf, Osamu is the one you probably need the least to win a battle. Nothing against Osamu but even if Chika does not shoot human targets her landscape-changing power trion has often turned the tides of the battles. Ofc for that you need somebody to point out said spots for Chika to shoot, however Osamu can do so behind Usami as well.
So as long as Yuuma and Chika are in-game Tamakoma 2 still got a tinsy winsy chance to win which is probably why Jin made that bet. Let's not forget Hyuse said last time that Tamakoma 2 will lose as well against the stronger and more in tune teams yet they will won against the likes of Kou and Nasu.
! While against Kageura, Ninomiya and Asuma the stakes and hurdles are far higher, there is still a chance if the other three teams are too busy battling each other. The real problem for Osamu was that Yuuma got hold off. If those two had meet up before the other two attacker/one gunner and one attacker teams then Osamu might not have been finished off as Yuuma would have tried to get the attention back to him as he can handle it due his skill and experience. Without Yuuma Osamu was ripe for the taking.
! Well, the real problem are 2 things now:- how to get Yuuma out of the kageura fight because he is not needed there, he needs to get points from easier targets than the guy even Kou can't win against much.
- Asuma needs to die, like yesterday, elseYuuma cannot move freely on the field.
! And evenif they take care of the 2 problems there is still the 3 one left:
- What the hell do we do with Ninomiya who is the strongest shooter of Border?
! I still think Tamakoma 2 gonna lose this one but perhaps because the other teams also think so they might win?
Like lets say Yuuma suddenly puts his scorpion blade to his throat and tells Kageura he only gonna fight him at the end of the match after they together (due him detecting lies and him feeling aggression, they can sort of trust each other's promises) defeated the other two teams. Else he kills himself and Chika bails out and then they will drop to middle rank and then Kageura will never get to battle the "shrimp who defeated Arafune and Kou". Given how battle-crazy Kageura is that might actually work. XDDD -
I have to ask. Is this story actually worth the read/watch? I gave up around chapter 5 I think. I watched the first episode but the animation didn't wow me. Does it improve? Or is this one of those Fairy Tail level stories that's okay to read but to not expect anything of? Or is it just slow to get out of the gate?

I'd say give it another try until you get to the invasion arc, where it really starts to pick up. It does have a slow start but it finally gets rolling it's a really entertaining series, right up there with other Jump powerhouses like Shokugeki no Soma, Hero Academia and One Piece. It is definitely no where near Fairy Tail tier. I like how big and diverse the cast of characters are and also how the author has clearly thought in detail about the rules of the world and the technology that Border has developed. Also tactics and teamwork play a real big part in the fights, especially in the current arc so it feels like a cool mix between a battle manga and a sports series.
TLDR; It's really good, give it until the invasion arc for it to really get going.

Hmm. I'll give it a try again. How long til the evasion arc starts?

I think it starts around chapter 40.

In my opinion, I think things start getting interesting around chapter 20-ish though.
-
Oh man that chapter was great, now I'm sure Tamakoma-2 are going to lose here. This is big dog territory and despite his training Osamu is still too small time to hang here. I like that Osamu showed initiative in the fight and made some smart moves but the odds were really stacked against him in this fight.
Asuma really lived up to the hype, I guess he deserves all the respect he commands around border. It's a shame about the break because now I'm really invested in this battle. I predict that the last remaining Tamakoma-2 member is going to be Chika, with Yuma losing to Kageura, and she's going to at least try to get over her fear of shooting people. Maybe Ninomiya will end up in her sites and she'll try and resolve herself to pull the trigger.

The first couple chapters actually do a lot of foreshadowing. I have a feeling World Trigger may be the next One Piece… or maybe that's too hopeful.

The first episode of the anime is the worst animated, the one afterwards are better and more on the decent side and when it comes to the Invasion arc then there were some really nicely done scenes/episodes.
But overall I would read the manga first and then marathon the anime.
And no, like Black leg said, WT is anything but FT. You won't see "by the powers of my nakamas" here but failure due strength and skill and experience difference. Knowledge about your enemy and terrain can give a weaker fighter an edge over a stronger one and so on. WT is in this aspect quite realistic. Even in the latest chapter Osamu still lost, killed by a surprise shot from behind. WHich is also an aspect that actually works in WT unlike most battle shounen mangas: Surprise attacks ACTUALLY working and taking somebody out with one shot as intended instead of nearly dodging it or getting saved by somebody else before the shot/attack hits!!!@Miss:
In my opinion, I think things start getting interesting around chapter 20-ish though.
For me it was also around that point. Basically when Yuuma's story turned from "illegal neighbor immigrant hiding from border" to "becoming an agent of Border in exchange for staying".
The first couple chapters actually do a lot of foreshadowing. I have a feeling World Trigger may be the next One Piece… or maybe that's too hopeful.
I wouldn't mind seeing someday Osamu, Yuuma and Chika with some other A agents in a neighbor spaceship traveling through the neighborhood on their own for a 100+ chapters, seeing tons of worlds and all that stuff. <3
-
Looks like Toei used the extra of WT with Sakurako being an audio Otaku to get some more minutes, liked it. xD
!
Nasu got the calm and kind Onee-san voice I wanted her to have. Can't wait for her badassery in the match! <3 <3 <3
Also this week we finally get a WT chapter again and see how Osamu copes with being the first to get taken out and that so soon in-game.
-
I really love how everyone in Border adores Asuma. He is the OG Border member!

No wonder, he was the first teacher of Border and still teaches. If we get someday a timeskip I can see him being a full time Border teacher with lots of agents adoring him as he was the one who taught them the ropes of this work. :3
We got the cover for Volume 12! Nasu-san made it on the cover!
Next one probably gonna be Ninomiya or Kage. Hope this cover means we gonna see soon more of Nasu in the B-rank wars. <3
-
Raw of WT is out in case of some of you wanting to give it a look. There is also some live TL of it but I dunno if I am allowed to post that on here as well. Anyway:
! Osamu was angry but not disappointed about his sudden death, also he was mostly angry at himself for not having his wormbag on since the very start. Good to see that he didn't overexpected his own abilities, but at this rate both Osamu and Chika gonna need months till they get A rank status on their own. Chika btw was great in this chapter!
! Just when Kazama wondered why Chika wouldn't shoot the 4 other agents as they are close together in one building to get 4 points in one shot and the Ninomiya agents thinking they got it easy now as Asuma can't hit them moving around so much, Chika SHOTS her monster cannon and BOOM goes the building! Yet her shoot was too amateurish, too slow and not direct and surprising enough like Asuma one. The 4 agents managed to escape unscratched although a bit shocked because the girl shot them when they thought she wouldn't.
! Chika tries to bail out but Asuma has already entered her 60 metre range and every agent is coming her way to kill her. She runs and Osamu orders Yuuma to go help Chika escape to deny the opponent teams a point. Yuuma managed it to get out of Kage's hair and tries to stop Inuzuka, the gunner guy of Ninomiya team, but gets stopped by their attacker whatever his name is. Inuzuka shoots Chika but her shield withstands easily tons of his shots which makes him respect her trion amount/capabilities. Yuuma uses his grasshopper on Chika to catapult her forward yet the gunner is fast on her tracks, about to reach her to give her a direct headshot when suddenly he gets shot in the shoulder by EMA who protected his waifu!
! And then Kage came from above and NAILED Inuzuka to the ground. Dude ofc was peeved that Ema and Kage rather focused on him than Chika who was a much easier target but Kage just tells him to shut up and die. Chika escaped and bails out on her own while Inuzuka has to bail out as well. Ema was found by Ninomiya who carries his wormbag like a badass. When Ninomiya asks why he shot Inuzuka than Chika, Ema said he only did so because he hates his team (daw, he's a tsundere~ <3). Looks like it is personal, probably because of Hatohara.
! Yuuma is right now in the middle of 4 attackers, all alone, his whole team gone. A badass sniper waiting to shot and the kage gunner with his grenade launchers ready to go as well.
! This looks like a terrible lose for Tamakoma 2. No idea how Jin could see a victory there.
! Expect Yuuma is far more badass and OP than we gave him credit for so far and he goes apeshit crazy on everyone there! Still cannot see him win all alone against so many people who surely will gang up on him now. His only hope is that the chaos and the opponent teams fight each other too much so that he can get some kills or get out of there before he gets killed.http://www.mangamint.com/world-trigger-113?page=4
It was a badass chapter, very chaotic and tense! I love Ashihara's battle style of several people fighting each other at once, changing opponents and their battlefields quickly instead of staying in a single area for 50 chapters to fight a 1-1 to win with the power of friendship! <3
Hope the new volume will manage to sell over 200k in its first week although I guess that is too much to hope for. :) -
Really loving the current rank war battle. Kageura's fighting style is awesome.
I doubt that Kuga will win on his own, so I expect him to be defeated for the first time in the next chapter.
About Jin's bet, I can see two explanation. Either he lost on purpose to get Hyuse on his side or what he actually foresaw was a win that would happen later in the season.Btw, I've been playing the Smash Borders game on Android for the past week and it's pretty fun and really addictive.
Way more interesting than every other F2P "gacha" games I've tried in the past.
If you manage to install it (the apk is easy to find on google), here's a link to a tumblr with some menu translations. -
Yuma's going to be fighting solo with no distractions so I'll think he'll last very long unless he's ganged up on. Even then, the only ones who could catch him by surprise are Asuma and maybe Ema. But that doesn't mean he'll get nearly enough points to win. Judging by Yuma's character so far in the series, he's not going to make any careless mistakes to get points and is probably going to lean towards just surviving until a couple more agents go down. But he also likes fighting strong opponents so Kageura's presence could seal Yuma's fate
-
I really hope Kuga goes down, too, yet puts up the usual badassery beforehand. Tamakoma will make it into A-rank after the next Rank Wars, not the current one. Please, dear author, give your main cast some time to develop. Other than that, I love Zoe's random meteor and Asuma's wallbang on Mikumo!
-
I wouldn't mind Tamakoma 2 being A rank in the next rank war instead of this one if Osamu hadn't told the press he was going to go to the neighbhour world and return the people who dissapeared from the invasion. If he doesn't make rank A this time around he's going to get devoured by the reporters. I really don't want to see this happening.
