>>28197022810/10 chapter
Missed you wt, felt like forever
I thought it's tomorrowBless Ashihara
>>281970236Engineers going to solo RWs is something I headcanoned for a long time, glad to see Ashihara thinks alike
>>281970352>>281970385her reaction is everything i dreamed bravo Ashihara.
Was disappointed when I saw only one chapter today, but it's 37 pages, so it's pretty much the same as usual, just in one chapter format.Overall one of the best chapter for this arc.
holy shit Suwagod best captain
>>281970741Oooh, asking the important questions here
>>281970778look at that panel full of future megane victims
>>281970517This was a bit of an awkward insertion. One page and that’s it, it felt like there was meant to be another.
>>281970960"Taichi" is on the move...
>>281970960I just felt it was kind of a follow up to Mikumo's thoughts. >Here's Taichi thinking about the same thing, you've seen what he's done before, you can probably guess how it goes, stay tuned for the reveal of trion soldier mechas or some shit
>>281970228We are so back
>>281971109He's a good big brother.
>>281970352>>281970385knew she'd be told, even better than the reactions in my head
Its been so long since i was actually on time for a thread, it feels good bros.
>>281970385I foresee this face getting put to good use.
>>281970656please no more Ko >>281971109changed my mind, I'm marrying Ikoma AND Oki
>>281970236Indeed Osamu you FUCKING DIPSHIT
>>281970916>>281970952>>281971109>>281971134Border war orphanage info was not something I expected this chapter
>>281970236Osamu really paid no attention for however long he was in Border pre-Yuumasince, even putting that aside, if even Katori's noticed the two of them this means Osamu paid 0 attention to Rank Wars
>>281970416Would Katori take out Torimaru if it comes to it?
>>281971267It makes sense too. Hell, i bet Kido tells himself he's going to coax the kids into border when in reality he's guilty as fuck and wants to make up for it.
>>281970352Yeah...
>>281970960I took it as a hint that Taichi has something very unorthodox in mind. Even beyond just wacky designs.He looks really serious there. Like he thinks what he's about to propose would be controversial.
>>281971274To be fair, he wouldnt even have access to most of this information Pre Yuuma. Like how was he, a C rank, gonna see a solo engineer doing rank wars? He wouldnt encounter the guy.
>>281971109Aww that's cute
>>281971250It became more likely that Urushima is a kill stealing bastard because Rokuta needs money for the orphanage kids.
>>281971275Oki is handsome, has a nice personality, is caring and homely.What the fuck is a shoujo romance target doing here?
>>281971353C ranks watch Rank Wars tho...
>>281971366>>281971392>>281971417BEST CAPTAIN
>>281970352>>281970385Imagine if they can just run Katori at the opponent to trade 18 points for 100, insane value, but of course it's not gonna be that easy
>>281971353C ranks mingle with the real agents and watch their rank wars. But he wouldn't know anything more than what Katori and Oki mentioned here even if he had done that.
End of chapter.Suwa made an entire fanclub right under Mikumo's nose, what a bro.
>>281971441Respawn timer makes that non-viable. Her being worth fewer points just means it's not as worth it to hunt her down specifically. But she still can't afford to be suicidal. And if someone is trying to take out the whole squad then the individual points aren't that important.
>>281971204I expect this to age like fine wine.
You are minding your own business and suddenly a 13 attack monkey rushes your way double wielding meteor.Whats the counter play.
>>281971441The big question is how long is her respawn timer? If she can die and respawn three times a day suicide strategies might work. If she's out for a day each time you're wasting a good unit.
>>281971567Chika shields.
>>281971504I didn't expect this kind of chapter. A welcome one though.
>>281971475Our tin can home since covid is finally ending...
>>281971567Btw everyone thats replacing someone has cracked up stats. Shinoda, Ikoma and Kyoko are the only Kogetsu users with this much range, not even Tachikawa has 3.I know Ikoma has autismo Kogetsu but I think Shinoda and her secretary have a special Kogetsu, they don't extend the blade, it just suddenly throws lasers.
>>281971475How long is the fight going to be, again? I don't think worrying about food expiration date should be an issue at all. Food can easily sit at room temperature for a while before you actually get sick from eating it.>>281971504Evil... is on the move
>>281971567she looks like she's weak to wires
>>281971421Yeah, the actual matches. Not the 1v1's that happen all the time at border HQ. Like no one was actually watching Hyuse 1v1 half the attacker pool, they had to keep asking how good he was.
>>281971656Ops, forgot pic.
>>281971567rape
What's the appeal of this manga?>The Away Mission Test: Part 48>Part 48What the fuck
>>28197167536 hours, plus eating food in a trion body is a 100% absorption bonus since nothing goes to waste.
>>281971782cute boys and girls doing cute things
>>281971782we're having our pre-boat arc.
>>281971782People like me who make spreadsheets with 48 tabs just for fun.
>>281971751I can't believe Suwa is the weakest among the 4 alcoholic devas.
>>281971782Nigga you literally read medaka box, you know the appeal of autismo.
>>281971801>36 hoursThat's literally nothing, I've eaten pizza at least twice that old. Then again, they're packing white bread sandwiches and pizza is a high salt low water food.
>>281970385just fuck already
>>281971835I cannot wait for this dude and Katagari? The dual raygust guy to fucking style on people and teach Osamu some tricks. Bro needs to figure out how to sword better at some point.
>>281971782the appeal is spending an entire month autisticly theorizing about whether a character is showing up in an upcoming battle due to individually counting the numbers of participant and noticing they're one short, and then be vindicated as the characters use that exact same reasoning to come to the same conclusion, and then get blindsided by a side character showing a compelling new side to them that lets you rereading the entire series to see the signs that allude to that newly-shown sidethis shit fucking rules, man
>>28197183599% sure we have Kronin stats too.
Reminder, another chapter closer to them reuniting
Very good chapter. Also I’m the guy who mentioned scanning some WT doujins/fanbooks. Only got around to doing one, still planning on doing the rest that I got.https://e-hentai.org/g/3493411/9fd3a8cef0/
Someone post a good pic of Azuma's head. I have a promise to keep
>>281970289This implies he does know how she fights against neighbors. That would still be useful. Spill the beans, you dumb ikemen.
>>281970289Do you know anything 4 eyes. Pretty quick to ask favors but barely interested in people
>>281972011god bless
>>281971546Katori going down on Mikumo five times!
>>281970320Kudos to that anon who counted.
>>281970602Naruto training arc type moment
>>281971360I like how no matter what lore gets revealed about the two, Urushima always feels like a doting boyfriend for Rokuta.
>>281970602>>281970577No way this doesn't backfire.
>>281970656Reiji is right, train your body and mind will follow.
>>281970709they say ignorance is bliss
>>281970778oh look, Ashihara finally said "sports" in this sports manga
>>281970448>>281970482I love when the characters go through the same thoughts as we do.
>>281970854Whoa, Osamu character development showing (actually caring about the situation of people around him and not being bullheaded/selfish)
>>281972295He absolutely cares about the situations of others. His relationships with Yuma and Chika inform a lot about what he does and how he acts
>>281971866I dropped it though >>281971832>>281971976So unless you have weapon grade autism, this isn't really for you huh?
>>281971977Even if we completely remove his command stats, Rindo is a fucking beast.
>>281971134>makes it look like he works at mcdonald'sThanks for nothing brats.
>>281971977How the fuck are they letting this man into the test. He's fucking broken how do you even beat that?
>>281972367>weapon grade autism.Yup, pretty much.There are no weird powerups nor nakama powah. It's all about stats that can't get sudden boost (MC stats is the lowest between the named charcters), how to use terrain, the weapons peculiarities and psychological warfare.Also, a lot of bullying to characters who lose against MC-kun, because you have to be utter shit to lose against him. It's the only thing that appeals to non autist fans.
>>281971250So basically Border = Outer Heaven
>>281972460Challenge him to a fishing contest for an easy win.
>>281971275Alright can someone explain to me what larger-than-life hero means? I always feel a little bit down when i'm hearing the shrek song that parts come out
>>281971275Arashiyama too good. Doesn't he have a huge-ass family?
>>281972463>It's the only thing that appeals to non autist fansThere was that one time Replica made his own black Rabbit clone. Shit was cool as fuck.
>>281972502derp, that's how I know it's time to reread World Trigger--my brain finally slipped up. Of course Arashiyama is the big famous leader of Arashiyama squad/Konami's cousin. I was thinking of Torimaru
What does Ashihara have planned for Ikoma squad? He's clearly been using this arc to build them up.We had Captain Mizukami and Mario being one of the more prominent operators as she helps salvage her trainwreck of a team. Now we've got Oji playing with orphans. Ikoma himself had already gotten a lot of attention in rank wars but he still got the red freesia thing. Kai is the only one that's still basically an extra. But he even he got a little bit of attention this chapter.
>>281970385Everbody loves my wife
>>281972501A superhero who's so amazing he could only exist in fiction, not in real life. But the existence of trion is real life to them so Oki is falling for Border's PR tactics.
>>281970656So Ko is obviously about to receive some sort of buff.
Why is this manga always so wonderful.
>>281972558I bet nothing, is just that Ikoma's squad are fun to write about.They are the epitome of the bro squad + Mario, like the FFXV boyband + Iris.
>>281971504Praying for Ashihara
>>281972367It's more that it's a series that directly rewards your investment. You don't have to spend months theorycrafting between chapters, because the characters will also be doing that, but it's gratifying to see that the author is doing his own work. It's for people who appreciate seeing consideration of the world and setting, where the story emerges gradually from those parts interacting, rather than something where the story is designed forefront and all the polish is put into everything directly facing you
>>281972618The prayers are working.
>>281971546
>>281972366unless he doesn't, remember his lecture from Kitora?I'd say he cared about what he cared about UNTIL that lecture, otherwise he was very willing to get in people's way/be spoiled/be greedy
>>281972678You're doing gods work, anon. Brilliant Edit.
>>281971160Jesus Christ is the asshole intimidating.
>>281972705The lesson from Kitora wasn't exactly that being greedy was bad, it was that is bad for Osamu because if he gets everything for free, he gets too desperate to not fail people's expectations of him since he is wasting everyone's good will.People like Osamu performs better in a mutual benefit relationship instead of only getting helped.
>>281971567Call her cute
>>281971250Ntr gods?
>>281972786That giant plastic scar that's taped over his hairline is not to be underestimated.
Huh. Ikoma squad are good kids. Makes me feel bad about how I approach and do in my life.
>>281970626I think one of the extras or something mentions Ko trying to mimic Ikoma senku right?
>>281972814it was much more straightforwardly about politeness and also his rudely questioning his betters (hence he bows after it)
I can't fucking believe in this chapter we got the answer to two questions nobody ever asked but god damn they just got solved.Why wasn't Ikoma squad present in the invasion, they were on another precinct on the orphanage.Why was Osamu so late, he wasn't, Suwa made everyone show up earlier.
>>281971782A lot, there's a lot of appeal. I wrote a long-ass review on it almost a decade ago on the appeal. Uhhh basically"Really believable""Protagonist who is weak and stays weak and improves at a realistic pace (FUCKING SLOW)""A very large amount of heart and pathos without being fucking obnoxious about it""Teamwork that ACTUALLY matters""Insanely good fight choreography""Funny as hell""Like 200 characters or something and most of them are memorable and feel like they're living their own lives"
>>281971504>>281971475I miss the room already.... It was part of my monthly life for years now, it was so comfy.
>>281971475I swear Border agents are so fucking spoiled? A Sandwich? Is this a field trip? You want food that's small enough to be portable but nutritious and filling. A sandwich is gonna crump when Konami asteroid your ass.I would try to hide the food somewhere and hope nobody steals it.
A request from a previous thread I forgot I had in my folder until today
>>281971275Death flag vibes
>>281973048ehhh be fair to them, they're school kids and a few university aged young adults, not Steve1989MREInfo
>>28197309010/10
>>281971504RESOLVED AND DETERMINED.
>>281971449>>281971417I'll miss this squad.
>>281970352>>281970385Okay, which A-rankers can Katori reliably solo assuming she gets a 1v1?
>>281973048damn school kids don't want to eat hardtacks
>>281972367Nobody who drops medaka box is a friend of mine.
>>281971675
>>281973090I was expecting the Code Lyoko theme song, but this is good too.
>>281971656Kyouko can probably do the Senku thing Shinoda used for Enedora.We've never seen Ikoma's stats so we don't really know how much range he has
>>281972965>Like 200 characters or something and most of them are memorable and feel like they're living their own livesThere's NO WAY this is true I remember reading assclass ages ago that only had ~40 characters and even then making them all memorable was impossible
>>281972460They never said that the B-ranks winning was a requirement to pass the test.
>>281972460Maybe he's getting relegated to sniper role since he's replacing KoderaIf not, then guess it will be a massacre
>>281973385Memorable is saying a bit much for some of the characters involved, but they tend to feel distinct enough.
>>281973186I was thinking the non-aces. But going through them, I'm not so sure. Like obviously she could fuck up a sniper or spotter if she caught them. But I'm not even sure she could reliably solo Arashiyama, Yosuke, or Midorikawa.
>>281973385idk, back when it was maybe half of those I managed to make an absurd relationship chart based on the characters we knew with little extra research. Characters are often packed with information or can be seen doing this or that. I'm not saying "it's 200 favorites", but I'm definitely able to remember nearly everyone in the series just by looking at them.
>>281973243
>>281973103Having a food generator in your pod was also a boon. Hell of a crutch in hindsight, but not everyone is going to be away from home so I guess there wasn't a reason to put them through artificial starvation.
>>281973385As a huge fan of both series, AssClass was a basically warmup for WT's massive cast.Not every character is made equal, since some get meager crumbs of spotlight (Miura the air guitarist and most of the WT operators) while others get entire chapters dedicated to their backstory. But regardless I enjoy the grounded approach both series take in terms of characterization.
>>281973385There is literally honorific autism or small phrases that you would overlook and have them make sense literally 150 chapters later just because our mangaka is just that much of an autist.Like I think Inukai talks about teaching or something literally 200 chapters before Jackson arc
B side has a chance but they need to pivot to their A ranks agents. I know Azuma dislikes the idea but he needs to take command over the entire operation, no if or buts. Kodera is smart but too wimpy, Kage squad are useless, Nino is too much of a manchildren and Kitora is too much of a stuck up.
>>281973385It's true. World Trigger has a big advantage over AssClass in this respect because it is a proper battle shounen with a well developed and autistic power system. What triggers people use and how they use them helps differentiate them and make it easier to remember who they are. This is especially noticeable in the case where it is absent; operators.
>anon missed the story timeOhnonononono.
>>281973673It's also a lot longer with over 250 chapters and counting. AssClass had less chapters and much faster pacing, so it had a lot less screentime to work with.
>>281973385World Trigger manages to do a lot of legwork with their team set-up. Since they move around as distinct groups, you can usually identify a character as "the X guy from Y squad" before you're fully familiar with them as individuals
>>281970881>I can afford to put food on the table either wayThis is a 17 year old by the way. Everyone always sounds like they're in their 20's.
>>281971504
>>281973243>Both on their fornite arc>Sandro uses ai and doesn't care >Our autistic mangaka endures through his broken neck
>>281973756Yeah, that too. Poor Kurahashi got her arc skipped. But the fighting styles thing is huge.Nigewaka probably has more characters, their names are way harder to remember, and many of them die after only one or two appearances. But I've still found them easier to remember because their different weapons and fighting styles help to differentiate them.
>>281973925>>Sandro uses ai and doesn't careIs that allowed?
>>281973850Some agents are really poor or are orphans. Japan has other culture around part time jobs during middle and high school too. They don't kick you at 18 like america but they do work earlier.
>>281974005Many of the side characters in Elusive don't stick in my mind like they used to, but maybe that's because I haven't re-read the series like I have for WT and Matsui's other works. I even got multiple Miura clan members mixed up in the most recent chapters, and they're supposed to be important as far as supporting cast goes.
well it's time to guess what new war crimes Taichi and Osamu have created.
>>281974163They are 100% going to use those vehicles he made for Snipers. They're lucky that the A-Rankers can't use them too or we'd have the guy from Kusakabe squad who has the Precise Body Manipulation side effect riding around pulling Godzuma shots.
>>281973673Yeah, I barely remember the operators.Usami because she is part of Tamakoma.Rokuta because she is the only one who can't do parallel processing.Mario cute.Nono because of her nonos.Hana because of Katori squad mess (and the origin story behind her gloves).And that girl who is the only operator captain, but I don't remember her name.
>>281973204There's gotta be at least one Border Agent who can appreciate weaponized bread and all the puns that come with it.
>>281974365Ikoma, hardtack senku.
>>281970681>>281970709Pure as the driven snow
>>281971782Juggling the actions of 100+ characters does that.
>>281973385Like 3/4 of AssClass's kids were reasonably memorable.
Beautiful chapter full of gems:>Ko might start using compound bullets, would be a fucking menace since they are all about practicing and learning, thanks to Kurauchi's explanation>Taichi fully focused may turn out to become a menace, the absolute madman.>Kai is just a good, pure guy with sword autism, like Tachikawa but without the edge. Then we see the entire Iko squad are like that and we get some more lore about the orphans from the past invasion.>Osamu being supported by Suwa and the rest of the squad, inspiring him to put all his effort towards his objective.>>281973243I remember a couple of anons saying Ashihara is the anti-Sandro in one of the storytime threads. Is Sandro that shit at writing?t. never read Kengan
>>281972460I think they're playing with kids gloves unless it's Amo instead of Jin as number 40.
>>281974734>Ko might start using compound bullets, would be a fucking menace since they are all about practicing and learning, thanks to Kurauchi's explanationLmao he is gonna flop, he wants to do compounding live with not even shooter training.
Imagine if Rindo goes for a mobile sniper build with Grasshopper for Miwa squad
>>281970517Now listen up: we wear our Trion soldiers as battle-armor.
>oji chapterThanks Ashihara, boy is a blessing.
>>281974798Is my reasoning too far stretched? Here's what I have thought:Ko jobs during the first part of the exercise, sleeps to replenish trion, and then comes back as a menace. This would hint back to his matches against Kuga, both because he lacks inuition as he himself recognized and this might be the opportunity for him to grow in that sense, but also because he would take a nap and come back knowing better how to fire bullets. It would also enhance his squad as he can be an all-rounder (another reference to his friendship with Arafune who wants people to excel in multiple roles).I know this is fanfiction-tier, but Ashihara's writing enables me to be this autistic.
I still don't really see how Ko using composites is a good idea since he'll need both hands to do it. Him dropping Raygust to make those will leave him open and no one else on the team is good enough to cover him except maybe Kurauchi, but then you might as well just cover Kurauchi while he shoots off since he actually does it frequently.
>>281974116>I even got multiple Miura clan members mixed up in the most recent chaptersAssuming you're that anon, didn't you just not realize that the clan head was the kid from before? That's pretty understandable considering he wasn't a named character and looks completely different.Besides him, the younger brother Hachiro was the only surviving, relevant Miura.
>>281974749Why not both?
>>281974163I wonder if the shoulder mounted autoturret will be a thing.
>>281974955Well Kuma is specialized in defending shooters but yeah, this makes little sense when they already have two shooters. I think Kurauchi was just spitballing there since Kou can do pretty much anything
>>281975009You mean they lied about the player count or someone is mysteriously absent to make room?
>>281974734You know how Ashihara is autistically detail-oriented and ensures that even minor characters and throwaway lines matter and are taken into context going forward? Sandro is like a kid playing with toys, forgetting and tossing them aside and picking them back up whenever he feels like. Compare that with largely dropping what made Ashura great (the individual fighters, their combat styles and character dynamics) in favor of what he's absolutely shit at (toothless villains and nonsensical, self-contradicting plots) and his artist not giving a single shit anymore and you get Omega.
>>281974921Compounding as described in this chapter is more of an intuition or feeling rather simple movements, Ko won't be able to shot and his team will underperform because nobody got a brain in there except their operator
>>281975108Halfway into the match Amo comes in as a stage hazard.
>>281975047Just turret? Why not have a shoulder mounted Shield? Or combine them small trion soldiers with dummy beacons, or Radar cloaking?
You know guess what Nino visualizes when doing composites.
>>281975183I just remembered the particular suggestion in the initial brainstorming.
>>281975108>they lied about the player countThis. Including Amo is the sort of thing best done as a surprise. And if he was included, I don't think he would necessarily even be strictly on one side or the other. I'd throw him in as a natural disaster to fuck with both sides.
>>281971504Thanks for reminding me why I don't like Mikumo
>>281975263Are natural disasters a thing in neighbor words? Isn't everything artificial and made with trion? Why would they use trion to make natural disasters?
>>281975202All of his friends in a big group hug. Including Hatohara.
>>281971888Trips of Truth
>>281970228>WT chapterYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
>>281975321It was a figure of speech. One thing everyone needs to be prepared for is the sudden appearance of black triggers, such as freshly created ones. Having Amo go berserk and ruin everyone's plans would give both sides some practice with that.
>Izumi makes compound bullets in secondsI like how the more worldbuilding we get, the more impressive some characters become. I love this style of writing where nobody is outright praised but you just get it from past chapters.
>>281975178He has one spot left in his main trigger side, I feel even if he fails at compound bullets he could complement his style with meteor or hound. It would relieve pressure from Kuruma, especially because given their dynamics, the latter should be the shield and protect his ace, not the other way around. Just like how Hyuse was right in that he and Yuma should defend Chika while she spams her attacks, and not vice versa.
>>281975119Lmfao sounds like he shat all over his fanbase, I feel sorry for his readers.
>>281971250Urushima's orphan wife...
>>281975652He can't and he won't get shooting much less compounding during the march, especially in a 36 hour marathon where trion is scarce.Ko is an idiot who made a team with no idea in mind and instead of just winging it and crunching he should be playing for his strengths. A bunch of defensive oriented agents which is great in a 36 hour battle.He also needs two slots for compounding.
>>281975526He did also outright invent compound bullets, right? It's Jin and Raizo tier>I'll make my OWN special bullshit!but just with a high skill floor. I wonder if near the end of the series we'll get Osamu designing his own new Trigger.
>>281972929That was what she stated openly, but her dialogue after he left clearly implied that she mainly did that because she didn't want him to feel any more indebted or obligated than he already was.
>>281970236Doesn't this page imply Cronin created scorpion? Or at least, I guess he and Jin are co-creators.
>>281975910Yes he helped Jin make scorpion.
>>281975714You have no idea.>>281974734I think that was me, in WT characters can job without their value being diminished, it just makes sense. In Kengan fighters win based in how long was their previous win or whoever is higher in the pecking order
>>281975910Cronin and Jin are Scorpion parents.Cronin also created Viper and Hound.Fucking Canadian.
>>281970289It is pretty embarrassing to know nothing about the people you basically share a house with.
>>281975865ngl that sounds very headcanon when we're talking about someone as formal as Kitora
I think Taichi is going to create communication units.Considering it's him, though, there will be something extra. What could it be?
>>281976031Anon, she said it herself.
>>281976031Not really...? What did you take from their exchange back then, anon?

>>281976276>Mai bails out from hunger within the first five minutes
>>281972678she'd destroy him>>281976080That adds up with the discussion before cutting to Taichi. If they have more joined up comms they'll have a big advantage over the A rankers.Then again, it's Taichi, so maybe he'll make trion vending machines that dispense poison drinks.
To stretch the transition from Mikumo even more, what if Taichi's idea of communication units were using wires?
>>281975047Oji's idea is too broken
>>281975047Shoulder mounted radar jammers. No bagworm? No problem.

>>281975833I feel he naturally grasped that Border Triggers are limited versions of what you can find in their neighborhood and one day he was like "Huh I guess you could technically just combine bullets". Especially after fighting Lamvanein he probably realized that Tomahawk is kind of a weak version of one of Chelidon's functions.

>>281973048>A Sandwich? Is this a field trip?The previous phase was about managing spreadsheets so it shouldn't be surprising that this next phase is a business trip. The food has to be decent.
>>281975943Anon you are right, I just realized: As an example Tachikawa has been cut multiple times (vs. Jin, vs. Gattlin) and even then, he is the Number 1 attacker, people in Border see him on a pedestal, and whenever he appears in a fight, opponents (and readers) take him seriously.
>>281971250>orphan to child soldier pipelineIsn't that a bit fucked up?
>>281976080>>281976505For some reason I see Taichi going with suicide bomb soldiers. Like putting a weaker Ilgar and a Marmod together, or Rads as mobile proximity landmines.
>>281977258It means that they are given extra benefits. They can join high education or high education + Border.
>>281977258Kido wants more Miwas in his faction.

>>281977673This cat I swear.

>>281971977>>281972460At this rate I'm fucking surprised they didn't let Shinoda in the test, or even Amo with his Border Triggers.Jesus Christ, they already have Tama-1 (presumably with their customs), Rindo, Jin, and Sawamura (to say nothing of the autistic buzz-saw that is Tachikawa).
>>281971417YeahI'm team Suwamu all the way.The other KTRs can just fuck off.
Alright fuck it I'm giving this a shotAnime or manga? Do NOT say both

>>281972678considering their relative physical stats this kills four eyes, ground to dust. RIP
>>281978796Mangaif you're bored or want more anime slop, you can watch s2 and s3 AFTER you've read the corresponding manga arcs
>>281978573Kai best boy. He just needs to stop rushing into fights.
>>281978796Manga, but... World Trigger will be at Jump Festa Red Superstage this year, maybe we can get a remake of S1. Otherwise I guess they will announce S4.
>>281973186depends on her loadout and the setup but quite a few, Katori is basically a second Miwa, the main issue are the guys she outright can't do shit against and they make about half of her potential enemies. Unless she overdelivers its going to be a major struggle.>>281973462Midorikawa is a big deal hot shot and an ace attacker, he is also someone who would easily handle wires so he is a stat check counter. Yonea might be doable if the situation is right.
>>281979176I wonder if they would try to fit all of the invasion arc into a movie
>>281975202Making snowmen.
>>281971417Suwa's the best captain no question
>>281977258its what you do in the real world if you are a rising new power and don't have proper backing. its a habit of all people in power for the past 10 000 years for a very good reason
>>281975202Sex with Hatohara?
>>281975202probably something chuuni like casting a kamehameha or yin and yang move, the specifics would depend on his favorite anime
>>281970352final points are quite a bit higher, especially with Katori, she managed to go from 13 to 18 in one day. Major pointage % wise.>>281970385she is such a treasure
>>281970289>>281970236God damn it Osamu!
>>281978796Manga absolutely, anime is supplemental at best because of how much they fucked up the initial run
>>281970320>>281977114I bet those years playing rugby made the business director a beast
>>281979914>I might not know many things, but I know what I must do.
>>281975047It'd be cool to see a Reiji Full Arms vs a trion soldier Full Arms.
>>281971441A ranks have set up this for themself.
>>281970952>B-000Damn, I wanted to know what rank they were at that time
>>281971109No wonder Oki said that he would hesitate to shoot Chika
>>281977673Jesus Christ. Ashihara, I kneel. Again.
>>281980459Must be before their Rank Wars debut, Osamu was B-000 too in the beginning
I wonder if Oki not being a Mikado local makes a difference with his reaction to the orphans.
>>281978796>2014 ToeiNot the anime.
>>281971648I'm glad this is remembered as the Homework Arc and the Excel Spreadsheet Arc rather than the Social Distancing Arc.
>>281980793I think that's why they were sent to the orphanage in the first place since the locals already understand what they fight for.Weird that Osamu hasn't heard about the orphanage before, sounds like it should be a common knowledge in the city
>>281980884I mean it's the opposite to stuff them in a small space and the rigging to make people who dislike each other pair up.
>>281980921>I think that's why they were sent to the orphanage in the first place since the locals already understand what they fight for.That's why Minamisawa isn't with them I think
>>281972558They'll stay behind on Earth and this will be last time he'll be able to show them in any meaningful way
>>281970952Isn't Border kinda using the city civilians as bait? Even if they can force a spawn point near the base, neighbors are only bothering at all because they want to abduct people. Wouldn't it be more logical to keep Border in a desert or something, far from any possible civilian targets completely?
>>281970656Hmm, not sure what this is building up to. I don't think they have access to combat triggers right now, so Ko would have to practice something new during the match, which seems risky.
>>281975202
>>281976276That's actually really believable, considering he suggested poisoning the operators during Rank Wars
>>281978796Unironically both, just because the VAs are top notch
>>281981099If it was in a remote location it'd be much harder to recruit students. Also the supply logistics would be harder to deal with, especially considering that Border isn't backed by the military or government.
>>281978796I enjoyed S1 but I would never recommend it to someone trying to get in the story. I know a decent number of people gave up on it when it first aired. Read the manga, and if you like it go back and watch S2 and S3
>>281979348>Midorikawa is a big deal hot shot and an ace attackerYeah, but isn't Satomi their actual ace? A-rank squads are stacked.
>>281970952People say Oki is just megane-less Osamu. But I think they look different. And Oki is cuter.
>>281980921>Weird that Osamu hasn't heard about the orphanageAt this point, I'd be more surprised if he had heard about something like that. He probably wouldn't have even known about border if Rinji hadn't told him about it.>>281981158Ko jobbing. Their squad already strikes me as fodder to show off the A ranks we don't know as much about. Having Ko trying something completely new and different like that just makes it even more likely. I'm skeptical he'll even get it down after inevitably getting killed and getting to take a nap. But he'll probably have some other helpful realization instead.
>>281970320Wait does this imply Netsuki and the Tanuki are combatants too? That I'd love to see.
>>281973385This upcoming fight has 95 characters split into two uneven teams. We add up the remaining characters from Border (upper management, remaining agents that we have seen), plus the neighbors (Afto + Galo + our resident neighbors), and we definitely have like 110 characters right now.
>>281970681>>281971109Ikoma has a good eye for people
>>281979400My dream would be for Toei to use the guy who animated the Goku vs. Broly fight in World Trigger, those POV cuts were absolute kino.
>>281981667Kusakabe is ranked fourth for a good reason. Getting harassed by Satomi on top of dealing with Midorikawa has to be a nightmare. Saeki has double escudo (and I know anons want to see Katagiri with double Raygust but I believe double Escudo is just as cancer) and fucking whirlwind on top of that. Then as you escape these three battle autists you get sniped by a mute chad with a side effect. THEN turns out they are highly coordinated because the operator is the captain and had combat experience so she knows her shit and has skin in the game.
Since they’re glazing the supers this hard they better make a flashy aura impact at game start. Otherwise it’ll just look like they’re holding back.
>>281981667Kusakabe squad is not a fair team, it was created from malice and seethe. It has anywhere between 2-4 aces with a run & gun rank 1 gunner, run & gun running sniper, former captain ace all rounder Ryuji and half sentient meth monkey with two daggers. They are holding rank 4 and all teams above them are pure concentrated cancer.
>>281979348Nah, Midorikawa is not nearly as good as Yuuma and I believe properly motivated Katori is at least on Yuuma's level, otherwise how the hell her squad was a top bracket regular
>>281982806>but I believe double Escudo is just as cancerThat's in Jin's loadout too, so yeah absolutely.Honestly every A-rank team sounds like cancer to fight against.>Katagiri with his gimmick loadouts + spotter probably fucking up all your potential sniping and tactics>Miwa's lead bullets, double sniper harassment and Yoneya's troll spear>Kako seems like she fights dirty in general, especially with access to a trapper and Kuroe's super speed attacks >Zoe destroying the terrain and giving Kage free reign to abuse his busted side effect>Arashiyama's full all-rounders with teleporters, wires and double snipe gimmick>Hatohara destroying your weapons while Ninomoya the terminator and his bodyguards gun you down one by one>Kazama stealth tactics + super hearing bullshit>Fuyushima squad is literally built around being cancerous >Izumi's instant bullshit bullets backing up the no.1 attacker>>281983228In general it seems like the big difference between A-rank and B-rank is that B-rank squads are mostly built around a single ace while A-rank squads have multiple agents who can take the role. Kageura squad seems like the only A-rank squad that was entirely built around their ace.
>>281982980Neither Cronin nor Raizo feel like a rushdown type so they shouldn't get to the contact line in the early stages. Kusakabe, Toma, potentially Sawamura & trion soldiers should be the opening act. Rindo doesn't need to aura farm as he is death incarnate and anyone who rolled him just dies, with 6 in his mobility he also doesn't feel like a rushdown type. Sawamura has strong jobber aura.T1 are pretty slow with mobility 7 across the board, Konami with her 10 being the sole exception, if she wanted to she can get there on time but knowing her personality she would most likely wait it out to pick her targets. Rip to all those pure HQ teams, should have snatched at least one Tamakoma member to avoid instant death.Tachikawa with his 8 could also show up early but being Izumiless on Ninozuma battlefield isn't a good idea and Izumi is bullet brain slug with a stunning mobility 5 on his stat sheet
>>281982980>>281983699I'd put money on it that the fight starts with Toma insta-sniping some poor fuck
>>281983577Something about getting sniped by Toma while avoiding Fuyushima's traps must be tilting as fuck. Same vibes about dealing with Kako, Futaba, and la creatura.
>>281982135They aren't. The assistant director needs to be a combatant to protect them precisely because of that.
>>281983798not even the funnies thing about about Fuyushima, once you get to Toma he just teleports to the other side of the map with a clear sight line to the current position and he can keep doing it all day.
>>281983769Management probably has a bet going for who that person is.
>>281983699Cronin being scorpion means it's possible for him to be rushdown.
>>281983769
>>281983948He's probably a scorpion + viper all rounder. Which sounds like an absolute pain in the ass to deal with.
>>281983699You might be right about Cronin, he was a bodyguard and also Kazama likes being close to his teammates, but he also can be a pain in the ass given he created Viper and Scorpion (along with Jin), he likely has them in his loadout. Raizo is Kazama's friend so they got good synergy and I bet Raizo asked him to be his sparring partner to test and improve raygust.Sawamura might be a better Kitora so definitely not jobber but out of the four special agents yeah she sounds as the weakest. Nonetheless she's enabled by Arashiyama et al.T-1 are absolute mega cancer with aids given Jin will take the helm. His weakness is being overwhelmed by a skilled opponent so I'm thinking Kuga + Katori or a similar duo, thinking back during the BT retrieval arc. At least he doesn't have Fuujin but now he has three broken teammates, so whoever is taking him on needs snipers and gunners/shooters.also>captcha
>>281971782>What's the appeal of this manga?It's fun
>>281983936You just know they have practiced Toma instantly aiming towards the previous spot right after he teleports and securing a kill. Squad #2 must be able to pull off some insane shit.
>>281982135>netsuki>combatantlmao he went out like a bitch boy from a single uppercut from kage you think can protect his sorry sissy ass in a fight?spit
>>281983948former high ranking royal guard, potentially best of the best of his nation, theoretically he could be one of the scarier ones but that would depend on how much he relaxed with age if he kept on diligently training someone will get a reminder
>>281983798>>281983936I imagine a good chunk of their points each season are survival points from their opponents ragequitting
>>281983892So it's a mistranslation then? It's meant to be she protects the upper management when the director goes into battle, not upper management protecting the director.Makes a lot more sense considering the image.
>>281978796The two latest seasons of the anime are good, don't even think of watching the first season.
>>281984291>So it's a mistranslation then?I wouldn't be surprised
>>281984034If he were to act like if Yuma and Hyuse were put in a blender, yes, then he will be annoying as fuck. As a neighbor his fighting style must be efficient yet ruthless.>>281984349Viz strikes once again.
>>281984366Cronin had a single backsword looking thing as his weapon of choice, unless it was a regal decoration and it seems to be more in line with a kogetsu so his scorpion style would differ wildly from his original training.
>>281984503He probably fights more like Kazama and Yosuke than like Yuma.
>>281984349hopefully someone tells them before they fucking print it.
>>281984591lollmaothey will print it as is even if you tell them
>>281974978I re-read the chapter and the cheat sheet and now I understand my problem, he looks like he went through a 20 year timeskip rather than a 10 year one so I did not make the connection. It's like a reverse Ashihara situation where he looks way older than he's supposed to be.
>>281984591
>>281984651I'm sick of this shitty company
>>281984648>a 20 year timeskip rather than a 10 year oneAnon... It's been 17 years.
>>281984651Bring back the previous translator. Or TLanon. Or even mangapanda, at least those were funny.
>>281984767It's over. I've been had by my inability to read and the slow aging process of the Elusive Warriors.

>>281984096Second phase is going to end with Jackson still recovering in the box and everyone in else in this image still on the field. I can't wait.
>>281973175Don't worry, we've got five more years with them during the combat phase of the test.
>>281984912>this arc hinges entirely on Katoriyes, canonically this is also the case
>>281971475wow, we really were stuck in that room since Covid kicked off weren't we? How time flies
>>281971160>>281971134>>281970916>One mandatory visit>Implication that most squads/agents don't revisit>No Gifts>Leadership shows up oftenNot gonna lie, this is unusually strange to me. what's up with it?
>>281985310they're preparing for the Gu ritual
>>281985024>>281983769Jackson being insta-sniped by Toma at match start.
>>281985310You can't have someone to visit the orphanage willy nilly on a whim. It just gives useless expectations on the kids.
>>281985413Wonder why Kido was okay with Oki being there then
>>281985451You can get away with anything if you're good-looking
>>281985451It's clear that Oki is not going to visit on a whim nor spoil them. He is giving them a good time by acting normally instead of pitying them.
>>281985310That just sounds like the grown adults care about the kids and would like the younger agents to care too. But they're teenagers and young adults so they largely do not. No gifts is a more complex issue. The nicer agents would feel obligated to give them stuff, probably to an inappropriate degree. And others might feel guilty if they didn't too, which could easily spiral out of control. You don't want people blowing loads of cash to bury the kids in more gifts than they can use. You also don't want to create a pity party where the kids start viewing their status as orphans as means of manipulating gifsts and favors out of people.The best way to handle it would be specific dates throughout the year to bring them presents.
>>281983769>>281985409Jackson is an unlikely target even if Toma has him on his scope. Toma goes for high value targets only, with the current rules I can't see him going for anyone but 120+ marks. With that Suwa & Kodera squads are his most likely targets as two highest value squads on the b-side.He could also try to go for Azuma.
>>281984995Exactly, as an example:>Someone comes across Tachikawa, e.g. Nino>Flashback to Nino being salty about him, and viceversa>T-2 comes across T-1>Flashback to both talking about each otherAnd this ad-infinitum.
>>281970352Kek, she's amusing. I've warmed up to her.
>>281985734>one of Toma's sniper buddies>worth a lot of pointsYeah, Kodera is fucked.
>>281970320>>281982135I'm kinda wondering about the translation here. I think it should be the HQ Director is responsible for guarding the rest of Upper Management
>>281985898Toma is a coinflip between bounty hunter or "fun" targets regardless of value... Kodera counts as both and he has Rokuta as his operator. If he is smart he should start crying right about now.
>>281970352Honestly it's even funnier if Suwa's kept the numbers from her the whole time and they weren't just released
>>281986072Katori would get suspicious and throw a tantrum.
>>281985310Some good ideas in this thread overall, but I also think they want to avoid potential attachment from the kids to agents that may die in an invasion or away mission.
>>281970626>>281970656Right, Ko is basically running with an EXP multiplier instead of Monkey King's bullshit ability to copy moves.
>>281970709Based.
>>281986048>>281985898In addition you can recall what he said to Narasaka about Jin and how snipers should try and get the easiest objectives. He will also go for operators because they're low-hanging fruit for a seasoned sniper, and there are at least three operators worth 100+ points, including Ui.
>>281971109>wahahaDidn't expect that kind of laugh from Oki.
>>281976505>Then again, it's Taichi, so maybe he'll make trion vending machines that dispense poison drinks.Tachikawa would fall for it.
>>281971160No gifts? Why? Are they training crack troops and regulating their food or something?
Who should get sniped at the opening of the match to make it interesting?
>>281986072A rank has been dumping on Katori since day 1 and Suwa never said a word.
Did you guys know that there's a Youtube channel that compiles 2ch reactions for World Trigger? Can be helpful if you're studying Japanese.https://www.youtube.com/@worldtrigger_reaction/videos
>>281986242Well he's from Osaka
>>281971475>trion bodies' stomachs can handle spoiled foodHuh, I wonder if it can handle poison to some extent.
>>281986353Kage. Taichi gets a kill in return.
>>281971504Thanks for dumping.
>>281986389
>>281972011Godspeed. Need more WT doujin.

>>281973673Now that you mention it, I'd mistake Arafune for Oki or the other way around if I don't remember Arafune as the sniper who's good with sword and Oki as the hopping sniper.>especially noticeable with operatorsThat's a good point.
>>281986389Lel the desire to age up the characters is universal
>>281986353I would laugh really hard if someone strong like Nino or Azuma gets shat on early and morale starts crumbling.
>>281977673I fucking kneel Ashihara, holy shit.
>>281986882>That one nip commenting about the huge-ass difference in mental age between the 21 year olds and 20 year oldsFucking kek

>>281977629>orphan to operator gf pipelineI don't see a problem.
>>281986882if they make osamu older he'll never get more trion...
>>281987196The madman is even updating lore from squads we have never seen nor we give a shit about. I feel like he has to have a shit-ton of excel files in his pc or some insane database and he writes a bunch of storylines simultaneously
>>281987628
>>281987628not another pigeon...

>>281987738Neighbors in Border are multiplying like indians in a tech company, I guess Miwa is right in his /pol/ rage.
>>281987758It's cool.
>>281987787Uhh... Bryan Adams?
>>281986353Osamu. It shows that the A-ranks are aware of individual point spreads and will actively hunt the high-value targets, while also revealing Osamu's point-cost to the rest of the test teams and sow discord because some will argue that he should stay back or not even respond, but Osamu will do so anyway because he needs to score well.
>>281987881>>281987787>Brian walks up to the other "Canadians">"Hey, you guys wanna eat some poutine?">All of the neighbors stare at him clueless as fuck
>>281987974Hyuse would say yes.
>>281987787>>281987974If you want to keep up the illusion of being Canadian, you better at least know the basics of Canuck-ing.
>>281987994>>281988062I want to see neighbors reacting to a moose, I know Yuma thought Santa was some creepy ass dude kek.
Fucking canadians
>>281986389>If it weren't for the double shotgun, Yuba would have never used dual pistols, and as a result Ikoma senku might have not been born, it's a turning point in history.300IQ argument, truly Suwa is the best captain.
>>281972011>That busty Kumagai pageA toast to you anon for posting, I hope you have a good day.
>>281970916I wonder if Hana spent some time there? I can't recall what information we have on where she lived/lives after the invasion. >>281985310Probably a combination of pragmatism and guilt. Agents get sent to visit to give them a more personal encounter with the cost of failure to protect people. No point in requiring more than one visit as they'll either get the lesson or they won't. Most don't revisit as they're attending school, training at Border, and trying to otherwise live their own young lives on top of that, and simply don't have the time. No gifts is to help limit favoritism, avoid financially pressuring poorer agents, and keep the kids from expecting gifts from all Border agents, or from feeling too indebted to Border. Leadership visiting often is probably a combination of guilt and making sure things are running smoothly. Technically those kids lost their families because Old Border failed to prevent the invasion, stop it fast enough, and possibly even caused it by taking custody of the mother trigger and sheltering the surviving royals. Old Border also recruited a bunch of kids and got most of them killed in the war. So Kidou probably wants to make sure the orphans their failures created are being taken care of, and they have good options in life, including other than Border. >>281988151Now I want to see a trion soldier moose.
>>281987918I feel like after "we win", a decent bunch of A-Ranks are aware of Osamu and will try and go after him.
>>281988822Doesn't helps that Mikumo gives so many points and spawns quickly.Literally asking to be farmed by A-ranks
>>281985310Border kids acting their age, I guess. Most teens wouldn't care enough to revisit, and Oki really only did it because those two kids happened to tell him they didn't think he would. Gifts would place an unreasonable and escalating obligation on any agents who do visit and don't bring anything. The adults have a higher sense of responsibility and thus visit more.
>>281989240>Osamu's new strategy: Switching between chameleon and bagworm as fast as his trion body can manage to erase his presence.
>>281989240Even if he can spawn quickly because his trion body regenerates faster, it won't mean that his trion will recover too. From context, trion recovery speed is the same for everyone. Osamu needed a whole night to recover his cute and tiny 2 trion.Basically, Trion body reconstruction depends on the trion level, the lower the faster, but trion recovery is the same for everyone.
>>281989497pretty sure we have word of god that it takes Osamu like 1-2 hours from 0 to full. The trion regen isn't a % its a flat rate. Bigger buckets take longer to fill, Osamu's tiny teacup gets done in real fast.
>>281989864Ashihara said that trion body recovery rate depends on max trion, he didn't mention the trion recovery rate.Trion recovery rate is implied in this excel arc. Osamu was out of trion in the middle of the test and he didn't recover in the middle, he had to eat and sleep properly to fully recover in the morning.
So for how many years now has this manga been nothing but people sitting around a table talking?
>>281990265>he didn't recover in the middleHe couldn't. You can't recover trion while still in your trion body. And staying in your trion body at all times when not bathing or sleeping was one of the few hard rules they were given during the homework phase.
>>281988822>>281989240Yukimaru definitely wants to fight Tamakoma-2 after he was told what they did to Nino. He's also the Dual Raygust guy so I could see him making a beeline for one of them.
>>281990663it sells more than the entire current WSJ lineup btw (minus OP and HxH of course)and you will rike it
>>281990663Hey, they don't just talk, they play video games, take tests and get graded too.And it's great.
>>281990888He will be completely dissapointed if the one he fights first is Osamu.
>>281990992They also learn valuable life lessons.
>>281970236>upgraded scorpion>upgraded>scorpion>upgraded scorpion
>>281991217Now it's even MORE fair and balanced!
>>281991217There he's got the Kazama style scorpion. So that's probably what he was testing. The hollow blade allows it to extend faster in exchange for being even more fragile. Theoretically the custom scorpions like that and Kitora's should be things that anyone can do. But I'm guessing that changing it around all willy nilly requires more thought than it seems, which would justify the alternate default shape of these.
>>281970352>>281970385This is definitely a good thing for Katori.She's on par with A-rankers individually, albeit not in terms of teamwork, and her score doesn't reflect that at all.Like she said, she's probably not gonna go down 5 times, so there's no way she's worth the trouble of going after.
>>281991217This is going to be the weapon to completely conquer every Neighbor nation.
>>281991217I'm amazed how scorpion mindbroke everyone here>>281990888>gets happy at the prospect of a good fightYukimaru is a gigachad.
>>281990888He's gotta fight (destroy) Osamu at some point in order to impart his raygust wisdom.
>>281970416>eat crowHeh...
>>281970320>womp wompfuck you
>>281970656Why is Ko doing this now, at the last possible minute?Or not even at the last minute, but he's planning to do it during the match.Do Ikoma and Tachikawa just refuse to let him trace them under normal circumstances?
>>281993524Ko clearly said that it's him the one who can't do it. Basically, it's not that they don't let him trace them, they are so exceptional that Murakami can't trace them.
>no WT last month >forget that there might be one this month>check and it got released todayfuaaark yes>>281970352heh
>>281993285I hope Yukimaru just crushes him outright using 2 raygusts to fully teach him how it's done
>>281993705The question is, how does he use those two raygusts? The obvious answer is sword and shield but remember, its got scorpions molding capabilities. The man might be a fuckin freak and just swaps weapon types constantly.
>>281971567flash her my p*nis
>>281989864It's probably a mix, I'd find it hard to buy Osamu charging at the same rate as chika flat but it being a square cube type of deal where she has 50 times his recharge and 2500 times his capacity for 50 times longer to be back at full I'd believe it.
>>281991217He's an engineer "upgraded" here could well mean "2.1% increase in trion efficiency at cost of 0.2% loss of durability".
>>281993914doesn't really matter how Yukimaru does ithe just needs to absolutely humiliate Osamu using itOsamu becomes very self-aware whenever he gets mogged hard.like how he chose to recruit Jin when he got wall sniped by Godzuma,he'll be kneeling in front of Raizo/Yukimaru to teach him how to use Raygust the proper way.
>>281993914>uses a connector and combines his Raygusts into picrel
>>281991217How do you think it got so busted if not for regular updates?
>>281971109Where does this place Oki in the fujo pecking order?
>>281977258I don't think they're gonna be child soldiers.The child soldier thing Border does seems more like a temporary thing out of necessity.You can only train your trion as a kid, and there's not enough adults to fill out their ranks.I think that in another generation, no operational agents will be minors, with minors being strictly trainees until they're old enough to become proper soldiers (if they want).
>>281971475>I'm almost sad to leave this little tin can of ours behind.Crazy. They've only been in there for a week, but somehow it feels a little longer...
>>281991217As pissed off as it would make me in terms of Rank Wars, Border is also a military organization and I can't be mad about my allies having better weapons.
>>281977673Two layers.First layer planning, second layer doing.That's part of what makes WT work so well. He'll give us a chunk of information outright without worries about us predicting what it means because he doesn't try to outsmart his audience.Which makes it all the better when he actually does outsmart his audience.
>>281970681>>281970709>Kai's the only Ikoma member who hails form Mikado, the city where it started all>he's this easy-going and innocent
>>281995310when your options are seethe and die or have fun and die you just have to make a choice. Kai made his a long time ago
What was the most popular fan art after this chapter?>21-year-old agent x 21-year-old engineer>Kai x Kikuchihara>Oki x Osamu>Oki x orphan shotas
>>281986389there's a handful of these channels, while I don't know jackshit about moonrunes, at least I get to understand their funny headcanonsalso here's this video where they tried guessing the last 3 members per away squad by rolling a d6, you need to see how Oji and Suwa's teams ended uphttps://youtu.be/AwCg-k7LmJw
>>281995850Handsome rapechad Oki secretly fucking the timid and submissive Rokuta, NTRing Ultima.
>>281970352>even the fish is surprisedlmao
>>281970385katori's face and expression here kinda remind me of that mega milk chick for some reasons...
>>281996663kek, I didn't catch that
>>281975730>Urushima became a solo operator that goes for money bounties so his orphan wife/useless operator could have food on the table and the the chance to repay her debts to BorderUrushima, you're too cool man, stop
>>281996663Is the fish coming out of a banana?
>>281985310>No GiftsDiscretionary gifts could cause a lot of problems with favourtism, undermine the orphanage's rules and disciplinary process, plus cause attachment issues to vulnerable kids. Seems overkill at first glance, but places like this are already a difficult environment to manage.
>>281986072He's a good tard wrangler and knows she needs motivation through rage to give her best. I don't think the date promise would make her better in combat, she's so far pulled her best moves when underestimated and pissed off.>>281986290Nino...>>281986389Thanks, this is handy (and funny).
>>281971782Basically, Osamu is the fucking GOAT. See:>>281971392That's my goat.
>>281971567Hide behind Tsuji and Kurauchi
>>281978558Suwa's skill seem to be more fitting for a manager / directive position anyways, he is great at judging and managing people. Not everyone needs to be a solo fightfag maniac.
>>281986882>Katori Yoko 16 years oldI lol'dKatoOsa videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN7tjDVLPoY >>281998323Agreed, he's got the shrewd insight and strategic thinking to handle PR, HR and business relationships really well. And he can take a punch better than Netsuki too. A tag team of Suwa and Osamu could probably negotiate peace on Afto.
>>281972110Of course there was an anon who counted
>>281971504Thanks for the dump.
>>281972487heh
>>281993914Makes more sense to dual wield raygusts than kogetsus like Tachikawa. You could do alternating thruster attacks for a really fast, oppressive, mobile offense. And you could still turn one into a shield at any time if necessary.
>>281986389I remember when Kaguya was popular and good nips would come here to see our reactions. I remember this one YouTube compilation where an anon mentioned WT and a bunch of nips were surprised a westoid knew what WT was, they probably think its not popular here? Not like they are on the wrong.Do they know about us? Since we are WT fans strongest
>>281973090based, i love that hat and i love azuma
>>281977673It's one thing to give every side character deepest lore but it's really, REALLY impressive to hint at it early then come back to it in a way that isn't forced or annoying. Similar example I remember he said he came up with Yuba's design at the start of the series but waited 18 volumes or whatever because he thought the design was too intense to be in the story early for a minor character.
>>281986389I'll check it out, thanks.>>281972011Good man
>>282000814It's pretty rare to find someone with the combination of enough autism to plan things out to that extent and the restraint to hold on to it for years until it's appropriate to reveal it.
>>282001744I think it's less restraint and more the same autism that prevents you from doing stuff that wouldn't feel right
>>281995473>>281995310Oh great, another riaju like Kakizaki and Tomoe. I'm actually happy for him though, I thought he would finally get mad at Kikuchihara
>>282001744I sometimes see autistic groundwork laid out which ends up hastily revealed because the manga gets the axe notice. Feels bad.
>>282002185Yeah, that's always sad.
>>282002298This could've been Ashihara without a good editor. Hattori deserves to have a WT themed statue built in his honor.
>>281995857Impressive that these guys nonetheless hit the nail multiple times, like Oji squad literally being the same (which statistically is like winning a lottery). Same with Miura, Okudera and Kitora in the same squad, but I guess the restrictions about who can be in a given squad make it statistically likelier to have these coincidences.More comments because I love speculating on shit like this:>Kuga still with Utagawa but now Shiki has to open up to Oki, I guess his big brother aura could help. Teruya would never be mindbroken by the water god but Kuga might have awakened the fightfag fires in her.>Zoe would be the chillest squad with zero drama, but they would have been weak>Lmfao at Suwa's squad being the same except with a second leader. Azuma + Suwa would have been too broken, but I guess they would have tardwrangled Katori earlier.>Kuruma's saintly vibes might not have triggered Kage, but I guess Kai would have. Along with Koala, all three are fightfags though so they might have pulled off interesting shit during the sims.>Kodera would have struggled without Kitora, maybe Hisato and Ema would have had some tactics/strategy growth with Arafune, but we would have no Hato backstory or Ema/Chika interactions.>I wonder how Tono and Tomoe would have responded to Nino's commanding. I guess he would have given some hints to Chika about Hatohara and her brother.>I guess water god would have shared more information with Kitora because she's reliable and can pull shit off no matter the stakes.>Lots of potential drama between Ultima, Hyuse and Kikuchi, some headaches for Ko. But good performance in the sims ig.>Taichi + Jackson would have been a disaster waiting to happen. Yuba might have whipped them into shape, but no epic comeback for discount megane.
>>281993914Ever played against Double lances in dark souls/Elden ring? Like that i guess
>>281994334>>281994660Gentleman, Please. I can only get so erect.
>>281984903Just don't accept the challenge
>>282000814The Away Test has really been good about showing off things that were mentioned in the extras/Q&A like Kagami's sculpting and Sayoko having a Side Effect.
>>282002359I know the wsj threads are shitting on Saito nonstop but I cannot be mad at the guy who helped saving Ashihara's neck. I am glad the cat has been blessed with many good editors, including the zoomer he's working with right now, without him we wouldn't get chapters like this one.
>>282002976What are they shitting on him for? Also whos the current editor, bro must be based to be on WT as a zoomer.
>>281970228>Only one chapterIt's not enough
>>282002976I used to enjoy wsj threads for the axebait but the shitposting eventually became too much for me, haven't checked it out in over a year
>>282003367Ninomiya seething hard for Tachikawa is loved even in Japan.Osamu full of hearts, he has a fanclub.
>>282003274Because these people don't understand numbers and think he ruined the magazine, despite the fact that physical media are declining overall given young people prefer tiktok and web-based content. They also ignore that he has kept Kagurabachi a decently successful series, in contrast with the previous EiC who wanted to kill it.The new editor Ashihara's working with is named Takuma Yui, the cat talks about his editors including him in some of the volume extras.
>>281970228Suwabros, Kazama is bullying us...
>>282003992No wonder Suwa put him on the shit list.
>>282003992>>282004013>Depressing, nasty personalityThe cube was seething as he typed those words kek
Don't forget to pray
>>282004169I am praying. And sending thoughts and prayers to the anons who missed the thread again.
>>282003900>The new editor Ashihara's working with is named Takuma YuiYui already left
>>282004531Thanks, man I need to update my shit
I hope the jump festa thing won't put him out of commission
