>>282719121>Phase 2: Part 1We made it.
>>282719121IT BEGINS
>>282719199See you, Border NPC #137
I got so many chills reading this chapter.It's been 12 years since the series started...
>>282719250>>282719286CUSTOM OUTFITS FUCK YES
>>282719250>third additional rule>this battle will be won on the court
>>282719250forestbros...
>>282719286>regular people get pants>all female operators get leggings and skirtsome egghead engineer is clearly thinking with his dick
>>282719326https://youtube.com/watch?v=TJ-06FvaWbw
>>282719377>11 god fucking damn it hyuse
>>282719398which megane will be commander?
>>282719306I see trees on those mountains. It's not over yet.
>>282719169>don't take the unused triggers to keep safe>let them take it to the battlefieldIt sounds weird and important. But I have no idea how it could be.
>>282719199Oki is a good kid, that was his first thought. Border is basically sitting ducks right now.
>>282719450someone need to make a shitpost on Kodera, the potential leader/commander
>>282719250BOOOO, BORING UNIFORMS.
>>282719326All terminal locations are shown on grid? Damn, that's brutal. Even if building hide them.
i can't believe how hyped i am, even if the fighting didn't happen yet
>>282719169>Jin nerfedWE'VE GOT A CHANCE
>>282719496If an actual invasion happens, they can just stop the test and deal with it. They only need people for the handful of random trion soldiers that wander in.
>>282719585>those who don't know>those who know
>>282719585>>282719608>no sweatHe's evolving
>>282719499>>282719534Imagine if every squad had a go-getter who hit their terminal to check lol.
>>282719534They're a lot more sturdy than I thought they'd be. Gunners/shooters are basically never getting through them.This also increases the value of kills, since they're easier to secure.
>>282719534Suddenly 8 Chika Ibises to take down a terminal doesn't sound so bad.
>>282719670>the fuck is this bitch saying facekek
>>282719398There goes my call to make Azuma the commander.
>>282719686How can one trionlet be so based?
>>282719686>ironclad defense>Chika exists
>>282719286Border gave Oki his visor but they didn't give Katori her trion boobs.
>>282719731>>282719765>>282719765>All the retards who are only good at fighting are worth the least points for defeatingEbin sinply ebin
>>282719765Don't bailout early Ikoma.
>>282719670I'm surprised Ossamu nickname hasn't spread yet
>>282719809>18Nice. Almost a 40% increase on the last day.
>>282719765>taichi aura farming >ikoma being ikomaLmao
>>282719807Hey, Rokuta and Wakamura are weak and have low points
>>282719900the abomination
>>282719879Raygustchad moment is so near, bros...
>>282719670Why are the girls reacting.
>>282719483Same. I just knew it will be important later. >>282719250Spread page? Spread page?! SPREAD PAGE! >>282719534>>282719585OSAMU BIN LADEN STRIKES AGAIN>>282719670The Ouji-Osamu combo we all want
>>282719731Ema likes to judge but doesnt speak up. Truly an introvert.
>>282719927If Saki doesn’t fight, Ashihara is a HACK
>>282719927Fucking brat needs Suwa correction!
>>282719950The rapistsB scrubs could never
>>282719707Kitazoe (Tonooka) doubling with Ninomiya team., lol. Triple snipers? More like quad snipers and artillery.
>>282719169>he forgot that Jin has foresightFour eyes is off his game today,
>>282719879>>282719900>Rindo and Sawamura have their own outfits>>282719927>Raizo and Cronin get generic onesI'll take that as evidence that the former still fight semi-regularly while the latter do not.
End of chapter.Spokonbros, we're so fucking back.
>>282719950Mikumo's victims.
>>282719809KITORA!!!
>>282719833Kagami looking like an MC
>>282719990How would you counteract foresight like Jin's?
All right dudes, sexist team?
>>282720005Thanks for dumping!
>>282719521I miss Mikumo's captain pauldron so much.
>>282719927Kusakabe is worth 200 and not 220? Rigged game, call HQ.
bbs thread for this chapter from our japanese friendshttps://bbs.animanch.com/board/5689146/
>>282719927Need Saki heels on my face
>>282719927Can't wait for Saki x Osamu
>>282719731Thanks for telling nobody that info Ema. He still hasn't learned his lesson from last time.
>>282720005>Ui, pay attention to how overtly sexual all of Katori's movements are and try to imitate themBased Suwa.
>>282720032By begging Jin to discreetly use his foresight in my favor.
>>282719927Brat. Needs correction. Suwa did an awful job.
>>282719927Quiet guy with the shades is going to do some crazy shit. Mark my words.
>>282720032Artillery.
>>282720005ZERO about their trion soldiers? Ashihara blueballing readers.
>>282719950OUR FUARKING HEROES
>>282719450>>282719474>Suwa offering Kodera's name so he can get cushy laterI love Suwa bros.
>>282719927Sakisexo
>>282720113and yuiga...
>>282720061Nino can't teach that spoiled brat Ema so his A-rank colleagues will do it in his place
>>282719670Is this the setup for the moment where Katori will call him Osamu by accident and get all embarrassed
>>282720100IIRC he has a side effect that boosts his athletic abilities.
I like how the countdown timers (when visible) is progressively decreasing as we go through each squad
>>282720143It's some kind of muscle control right?
>>282719900Satoken isn't even sparkling, that's how serious things are
>>282719879My wife. Love the white coat.
>>282720168Yeah, I believe it lets him snipe while moving.
>>282720143>>282720168Precise Body Control so he can run around and snipe. I don't think they've shown his loadout, but he has to have stuff like Grasshopper for crazy mobility.
>>282719331What if there was a dude operator who wasn't even from Nova Scotia
>>282720061I don't think this is the same. Him telling them "Hey guys, A ranks are strong. Don't underestimate them." wouldn't be telling them anything they don't already know. Mikumo and those that agree with him made their judgement of how much they think that matters and simply came to a different conclusion.They'd already rejected Oji's critique, and it had more concrete reasoning than what Ema could have provided. So him voicing his opinion here was never going to alter the team strategy.
>>282719670I don’t remember this nickname at all, is Ossamu supposed to mean something? How do you even pronounce it differently from Osamu, stretch the sa syllable?
>>282720235Saki squad's loadouts were shown in BBF
>>282719879that's an interesting uh antenna/radar earpiece she's wearing... the scout i presume
>>282719121It's that time of the month.
>>282719879>FUCKING NEIGHBOR FRIEND REEEEE
>>282720128Put some more respect, that's Mikumo's fated rival you're talking about
>>282720243Then he had better like wearing a skirt.
>>282720251It sounds like "ossan" ("old man") but his nicknames don't really mean anything
>>282720235>>282720254
>>282719199It's 2040 and we still haven't seen Amo in action
>>282720262She's the only Spotter in Border, we don't know much about what she does yet
>>282719765Nono's Nonos are really locked down by that suit
>>282720310>Lightning>Egret>Shield>Bagworm>Silencer>ShieldSurely he has filled those two free slots right?
>>282720297Ah gotcha, just curious why the girls were reacting so much to it.
>>282719256I have absolutely 0 doubt in my mind that 45 chapters from now, Ashihara is going to drop serious lore on Border NPC #137 that's been secretly foreshadowed this whole time
How dead are the b ranks now ? I can see them eating shit for a while, but I just don't see them beating up most a rank squads.
>>282720351He's probably going to be one of the engineers on the away mission.
>>282720358Toma will snipe Kodera right after the battle begins
>>282719900Kako's pose is so chuuni
>>282720358Azuma will hard-carry, trust the plan
>>282719483Maybe they'll provide more hunger and trion drain resistance than the combat bodies.
>>282720398Godzuma has decided to let the kids think for themselves. He will relegate himself to being a pawn as usual unless specifically asked for help.
Are you excited for double Thruster (Custom)?
Having recently started to play a MOBA for the first time, I've realized this setup is basically a hyper version of one>Objectives that can't be destroyed instantly and allow map control as long as they stay up>long respawn times>NPC enemies that are mostly below the main fighters, but can't be ignored entirely
>>282720358The A rank squads are A rank because they have an overall higher level in skill and teamwork, but there are plenty of B rankers who can challenge them. The numbers advantage + Trion Soldiers are there to help balance things out.
>>282719927Saki is supposed to be like 9k points attacker or some shit.
>>282720334Why? Trion economy matters even more for the scenario.
>>282719121They are still on the training for the away mission……not on the actual away mission?? Was there a hiatus or something cause it’s been like 2019 since I’ve read and they still haven’t disembarked yet … makes me feel like HxH or something.
Whats the utility of an operator in a skirt.
>>282720310The mysterious silencer trigger again.
bros we finally made it outside.words trigger is finally over I'm so happy.
>>282720445I don't think that's correct. She was a gunner who quit after being outdone by Kitora, I don't believe her points were ever mentioned (though I could very well be wrong on that account)
>>282719950Yuigabros its our time
RIP dreams of forest map
>>282720481Imagine if A-rank teams win thanks to YuigaThe sheer disgust would be amazing
>>282719286these outfits are lewd!
>>282720358I agree with Osamu that they have the advantage. But I think it's going to be a lot harder to exploit it than he is anticipating. They're going to have to take a beating first to learn their lesson. And at that point there may have been too much damage done to them.
>>282720510Trees are harder to draw than building
>>282719765Why did they allowed Taichi to look cool?
>>282719686>Has a eureka moment with sweat>Opts to still group upWhat is his master plan?
>>282719585Pretty smart, why make yourself spread thin.
>>282720572He's built some kind of war crime trion solider so he's allowed to look cool.
>>282720348You'd only be familiar with it if you're on his squad or if you heard his commentary on Round 8. Ui was there with her squad, Katori had her own match at the time and Nire probably didn't go.
>>282719474Giving the most important job to the textbook herbivore man is a bad idea.
>>282720574The A-rankers might be inspired to copy their plan and either leave some terminals open or go harder on defense than offense.
>>282719765>a man denied his trion mount
>>282720574Wrecking ball. Don't just stand around waiting to be attacked. Group up and go on the offensive. The more A ranks that use that opportunity to attack your undefended terminals, the fewer you have to deal with yourself. Turn it into a race where the B rank side can burn down terminals faster due to their greater numbers.
>>282720673Was he denied his trion mount?
>>282720639Kodera will lead the B-rankers to victory and fuck Usami!
>>282719560I was feeling some autism so.Here is a pic of the teams who group up in >>282719560 and >>282719707
>>282720429If anyone mentions laning I'm going to scream
>>282719950Uuuuuh, thats T1 with Jin. I don't think you can beat that.How do they roll? Jin as a second ace? Usually their job is to enable Konami.
>>282719670Sacrificing half of the terminals will also make defending the rest easier.
>>282719169How would they even stop him from using it?
>>282719890Fucking hell, what is Rokuta good for? She's homely and flatchested, clumsy, slow, and dim-witted. Bad waifu and wife material. Ultima should of simp after better girls. Blech.>>282719927Saki surprisingly looks short here, prolly some kinda artistic error. Isn't she supposed to be a tall GigaStacy considering her haughty attitude?
>>282719950Where is Usami?
>>282720704>4 snipers>Shooter and Gunner>1 AttackerNinomiya's group seems like it's only good for holding the line.
>>282719639Waka is the hot new sweaty megane in town.
>>282720470Yeah. Silencer on a sniper? It's a laser beam across the map, how does that work.
Maybe not but you can get rid of Karasuma He's probably the weakest agent in Tamakoma-1 That's not saying much but it's still something
>>282720476They were on a QA
>>282720777Yeah, Nino can bulldoze through B rank because of his trion stat but the A rankers aren't going to be that easy.
>>282720765>Saki surprisingly looks short here, prolly some kinda artistic error. Isn't she supposed to be a tall GigaStacy considering her haughty attitude?She's 15
>>282720777He has two attackers. But yes, they are very biased towards ranged firepower. Although that could also be used to soften up an enemy defensive position.
I hope Jin bullies the shit out of Hyuse again
>>282719608Thats true, Jin foresight is exceptionally good in chaotic big fights
>>282720836Hyuse is going to be force to stall Jin like a reverse of the invasion arc trust me my uncle works for world trigger.
>>282720798I can't find any reference of her points being mentioned, only that she was better than Wakamura.
>>282720836I think Jin might get Azuma out of the picture firstHis side effect is perfect for exposing snipers
>>282720005My first priority would be to hide the food asap.
>>282720900Iko...
>>282720892He has to personally hunt the sniper since he can't tell others what he's seen with foresight?
>>282719927While I was (and still am) hoping we get to see Saki fight, I kinda forgot that Operators are invincible. So she can only die if her laptop goes, making her ‘fighting’ seem weird.
>>282720958Yeah, though others can guess since they know his side effect
>Flat angry womanletSaki was designed in a laboratory to appeal to me specifically
>>282719950Konami's thighs.
>>282720979I hope Suwa makes her cry.
>>282719670>>282719686It's odd that Oji brings up a legitimate flaw in Osamu's plan, and Osamu doesn't really have a counterargument or counterplan. He just sort of says "well, if they do that, we can still win" and then Kodera just goes along with it.
>Katori but flatWhat's the appeal?
Which poor B-ranker will be Konami's first victims? Murakami & Kuruma squad?
>>282719765I said Taichi would stop being a pussy, and it fucking came true, FUARK YEAH.
>>282720979Yuri might also be able to fight so thats potentially two combat operators on the A-rank side.
>>282721036I thought the implication was that he has a workaround but Ashihara doesn't want him to spoil the surprise.
>>282721041That's just KatoriTrion boobs don't count
>>282720979>Operators are invincibleStep 1. Hide laptopStep 2. Judo flip some poor sap into your sniper's line of fireStep 3. Armlock some dope so your attacker can chop off his headStep 4. Smug
>>282721071I mean that's what we're seeing but did he somehow communicate it to Kodera so he approved?
>>282721013>saki>flatwhat's her cup size again? c cup? dat ain't flat at all.
>>282721097Meeting's about to end, he'll shoot him an email later.
>>282720836I would personally like to see Jin and Kage fight. The most bullshit Scorpion users who also have precog(ish for Kage) side effects.
>>282720639He has actual battle experience? Herbivores are people who don't even fight.
>>282720979There is probably a loophole in which she switches to a hurtable body if she equips a weapon or something.
>>282721289>>282720979Maybe that's what the extra Triggers from the first round could be used for
Can someone remind me is the A-ranks can communicate with each other like the B-ranks?
>>282719585>fuck bailout, I'm using my real body>fuck half terminals HOLY MADMAN
>>282720979The squad would go dark with no operator on the laptop.
>>282719560>>282719585>>282719686This won't backfire.
>>282721344I assume they're bound by the same rules saying inter-squad communication can only be done while their operator is intact, or through mobile text. Everyone is assuming the A-ranks will select their own commander and for that to work they need to communicate.
>>282719950Full nelson with Maki
>>282721161She's a japanese B-cup, anon...
I wonder if you can damage the terminal by using physic. Like what if you stack lead bullet on an object / person and then drop it from the top of a building.
>>282721091>Step 3. Armlock some dope so your attacker can chop off his headGod I wish that were me (and Nono)
>>282719765>Kageura, the motherfucker, the one pulling awesome moves, costs only 50 pointsHNGGGGG
>>282720462The first half of the training exam took five years and just concluded last month, so they haven't even set foot on the boat yet.
>>282719807can't wait
We are so fucking back bros
My master plan you ask ? First, we're gonna lose surrender half of our terminals to the enemy, then we'll see...
>>282720429To me this feels like a mix of RTS and MOBA. Kinda like if Age of Mythology and Dota 2 had a child.Of course there's the X-COM component in there too...
>>282720900Seriously, fighting with those huge cube bags swinging around looks like a huge hassle unless you really need something on hand to block a lead bullet.
>>282721597The terminals are going to job in Mikumo's place.
>>282719608He remembers the lesson
>>282721561He's a male Katori, he's gonna unleash hell on the A-ranks.I hope to see some banter between the former A-rank people and the A-rank squads.
>>282721597I can't wait!
>>282719121Holy shit we are out of the boat
Numbers won't save you from T1 and Tachikawa.
>>282721706Okudera and Koala look much better since they were introduced, just look at >>282720704, I'm glad Ashihara has improved on his art despite his condition.
>>282719229>>282719250>trigger onHome
>>282719629Looks like Takakoma and Miwa/Rindou are at the back terminals. The ones speech bubbles almost hide.The engineers are at the front line so we'll see what they can do fast.And Team Saki will sneak south and roll over Mizukami's team.
>>282719936>>282720061>>282720130Lmfao nips agree too
>>282721764a decent attacker fighting defensively can maybe stall tachikawa, but T1 is monstrous. i'm gonna assume T1 is equipped with standard border weapons and not their 1-hit KO specialty triggers
>>282719731Does he? No only not a single A rank agent said anything (They actually agreed), Osamu has experience with the a rankers.
>>282720900I am wondering if A ranks also need to carry their own food rations, or if they have a home field advantage and can get food from their terminals whenever.
>>282721836No reason for them to hold back. They will be stopping in multiple neighbor countries where there could be all sorts of overpowered shit already in action.
>>282721778He was fucking dying during the invasion arc, it's been a long time since we had scribbles released
>>282720749Jin just runs jungle
>>282721836This isn't rank wars. They're getting the full package.
>>282721036He wanted an acknowledgement of a possible outcome more than a possible solution.
>>282719990Last chapter we know Osamu knows nothing about basically everybody.
>>282719620This is not sim, if you bail out you are done.
>>282721941I know but it is impressive he is still trying hard, and his neck is still fucked up which makes it commendable.
>>282719229Been a while since our last Trigger On.
>>282719585He's back
>>282719950>Konami is the only one showing so much skinWhore.
i dropped in out of curiosity since i saw a fat thread on the catalog and all i have to say is what the fuck is this manga
>>282720005Thanks.
>>282719420Like always Ko taking protagonism in his squad.
>>282719670I second that anon, what did ossamu did mean?
>>282721071Secret Osamu strat: stop A-rankers from sleeping with a 0.1 damage meteor shooting soldier.Just BOOM........BOOM all night long.Mix in a random Zoe/Chika meteor for added suffering.
>>282722131Excel autism with some X-COM battles, with a spokon structure.
>>282719833Chika looks so worried about her rice being stolen.
>>282719450Who is taking over A side? Can't be Jin since foresight. Reiji? Kazama? Maki?
>>282719765Tachi is locked in. He is gonna be the MVP
>>282721836Fortunately, even if T1 has their triggers, they drain trion like crazy which is really bad for this stage.
>>282719474>All captains talking >Except Ko and Jackson
>>282720462Shut the fuck up, bitch. We are actually hyped again.
>>282719474Foreshadowing fights?
>>282722194Can't be anyone who has been on an away mission. It'd be funny if it was Miwa.
>>282722036>Wait, the raygust can turn into a shield?
>>282722213>Delete terminal>sudoku>repeat
>>282719560>Solo squads being wiped outThats true, the best way to prevent a snowball is getting isolated, squads should work in pairs and reduce casualties.
>>282720462It is exactly like HxH except the author has a chronic neck thing instead of a chronic back thing.
>>282719928They're just weirded out by a weird nickname. They probably don't even know Osamu's first name so this is even more out of left field
>>282722194If A-ranks are also banned from picking someone who has been on away missions it should end up being Arashiyama
>>282722182>Meteor and hound were loaded in the same sideFuck, she could have had the opportunity to show us an insane Salamander.
>>282721597I BELIEVE IN MY GOAT
>>282719585COME ON ZAKI, CATCH UP ALREADY. YOU ARE EMBARRASSING EVERYONE.
>>282722194Katagiri so we get a megane showdown
Every one of these characters in this 95-man melee is important so you'd better remember all of them and their abilities.
>>282720462Five more years. Neighborhood next decade, I promise.
>>282719398>Ninomiya has away mission experienceWhen he was in Azuma squad, I assume?
>>282719670Oiji plus Osamu strong.
>>282722131A battle shonen for turbo autists who don't like battle shonen.
>Kengan, Kingdom and WT all start an all-out battle at the same timeWhat a great "timing"for my "favorite" manga
>>282722422I DO like battle shonen, WT just scratches a different itch.
>>282719686>Suggest plans>Point out flaws and possible scenarios>Final decision taken>In less than 5 minutesIf this was Jackson he would still be on choose a commander part of the meeting.
>>282719306Yeah, I expected guerrilla warfare in a forest/hills map. Dunno why.But I called Osamu's strat right.
>>282719731Yuma looks so matured here
>>282719707Its worth noting sans Konami double meteor B side has much bigger firepower and nukes.I haven't noticed this before but it seems A rankers rely more on a melee ace? Like they are much more anti infantry compared to B squads.
>>282719707>>282720704>Osamu teaming up with KageuraYes, this is the shit I wanted to see.
>>28272253210+ trion just isn't that common
>>282721819He hasn't learned SHIT.
>>282719169I wonder if they can really negate his side effect with that rule. Like for example Jin predicts that an enemy group is sneaking around to attack an unguarded terminal and chases after them, even if he doesn't tell anyone the A-rank can still sense something is wrong and let some members follow and assist him
>>282722356I will start remembering operators just as soon as they give me reason to.
>>282719950Look how OP this spread is, minus Yuiga.
>>282722601He can just use foresight to see if Kido will bust his balls in a meeting later over what he's about to do, to check if it's ok.
>>282722131You missed the story time bwo.
>>282722601If a 2nd thing comes up he can't delegate that one or warn his side that they are about to be disadvantaged.
>>282720005By the way, it's a break next month for sure. A new volume is dropping.
>>282719765>Ikoma looking at the cameraEvery time.Also, I wonder if Ashihara played 13 Sentinels. I feel like the two have a very similar vibe and this chapter made me think of the gameplay.

>>282722846YesNot sure about now but they used to have threads where they monitored our threads
>>282722935Call her cute so she gets flustered and trips over a wire.
>>282720765Haughty twintail midgets are a Japanese staple. (feel free to slaughter me for not getting the name of Saki's hairstyle exactly right)
Can't wait for some "nerf scorpion" moves, it's been years since the last one.
>>282722663well shit i guess i'll wait for the next one this actually does seem interesting in a fucked up way
>>282722988the next nerf scorpion moment will be when we learn multiple agents can combine it together

>>282722935Ah! Oh no, my pants?! Kirie Konami is ripping my standard issue Border uniform's pants to shreds with her monstrous 13 attack?! I don't understand... I don't understand, Kirie-san! What? What's that?! You have a side-effect that makes you uncontrollably horny in battle???!!!! That's unbelievable! To think that a side effect like that existed! Wow, Kirie-san is impressive for dealing with that every single mission.. ehhhh??!!!! K-Kirie-san, does that mean, to me, we'll be doing s-s-sex?!!!!! Animalistic loud public mating sex between this middle-aged man and a 1O-year old girl?! There's nothing I can do about it... her monstrous 13 attack is too much to deal with... it's all been recorded, you can see I was the victim...

>>282722426Redpill me on Kingdom, should I pick it up?
>>282723042Sounds too predictable for Ashihara
>>282723189No. It's tactics are shit. Don't get baited like me.
>>282723161
>>282719585A solid approach, in fact the only one that prevents instant death, in a quantity vs quality one cannot expect trash to hold an equal number of elites. if B-rankis were to attempt to hold team vs team A-ranks would just wipe out front-line squads with zero losses and snowball the advantage. It still will happen but at least now they might last longer, how long will depend on how good of a commander Kodera is and how well he uses the squads at his disposal. >>282719670This isn't an issue, B-ranks have ranged superiority and would absolutely prefer to be the ones attacking in this exercise. If they can get themselves into position to do so it would mean 2 things, first A-rank commander is either a retard or Jin's plant and second is that B-ranks can win.Under no circumstances should A-ranks ever be pushed/ordered into a full turtle defense.The main threat is that A-ranks split their forces in half creating a mobile strike group of 10-20 units while leaving the rest to defend - particularly trappers, snipers & low mobility units and then collapse the whole frontline from the flank all while ignoring terminals in order to completely wipe out B-ranks. If B-ranks can't concentrate enough firepower fast enough to slow strike group down it just kills them, if B-ranks divert too much attention "defenders" or rather "bait" go on the attack, with slow response timers and unreliable long range comms this kills B-ranks every time without putting any burden on A-rank's commander & units. The only counter would be for B-ranks to abandon all terminals, bundle their whole army together and fight back one node at time.Regardless the general strategy A-ranks should employ is simple, group fast units into a strike group, ignore terminals, eliminate all b-rank agents before wasting time on the objectives, exploit the quality AND quantity advantage to snowball into a fast victory by dealing with piece meal groups of B-ranks at a time.
>>282722738>>282722689>New volume during Jump Festa>Potential Season 1 remake announcement (nips commenting on Replica's VA being there)I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR DECEMBER
>>282719731edgy boy doesn't have a mouth and he must brood
>>282719936Literally me.
>>282723295>Potential Season 1 remake announcement (nips commenting on Replica's VA being there)Do not get my fucking hopes up
>>282723254Mobile strike group is basically Kasukabe's thing right? If I recall she's the one who rated highly squads that were assembled with similar speeds in mind. And the squad with a running sniper.
>>282723336They would never remake the whole of season 1. At best you'd get a major fight redone.
>>282723361Invasion arc as a movie?
>>282723189It has fun grand scale strategies that coalesce into the soldiers standing around in a huge circle while their generals have a 1v1 slapfight in the center. It doesn't have the specific flavor of autism and detail of WT's tactics but it's still pretty good.
>>282723361Just remake the Large Scale Invasion and i will be more than happy
>>282719809Katori is locked in. Its a fucking miracle that she somehow got 18 points, if only she knew that a day before she had 13 and started with like negative 10 lmao
>>282723336Here you go>>282720393She was teammates with Nino and Miwa, what do you expect?
>>282721597Terminals don't matter if you kill everyone on the enemy team
>>282723391Ah the good old days where "I was on a hill" and "there was a river" made you a tactical genius
Now that the Big Brother thing is done, I notice we lack a main antagonist like Ninomiya in B-Rank Wars. Everyone among A-rankers is rather chill with our heroes, even Miwa isn't as autistic as he used to be. What's more, A-rank participation in the Away Mission has apparently already been decided by Kido, so the whole thing is overall pretty stakes-less for the antagonist side. When it's a man-to-man conflict, you usually want there to be some weight to it, but there's really nothing there for the A-ranks.
>>282723058where are the sexy chicks then?
>>282720005i cant fucking believe we left the boats eitherman its crazy
>>282723352>Mobile strike group is basically Kasukabe's thing right? If I recall she's the one who rated highly squads that were assembled with similar speeds in mind.Yeah, they also were said to have similar tactocs as the Ouji squad
>>282719879>Momozono is nervousits over, he is getting Azumad that thing can smell fear
>>282719326Terminal 7.Luigi...
>>282723457Don't forget the teleporting armies, the meme formations, and the MORALE BOOSTS.
>>282723467They are sexy under their bad battle outfits I swear!
>>282723018It will be years, like a lot of them. Just go check the archive or read it, its great. Best manga right now
>>282720769currently she is T2's property and Yuri was the original T1 operator anyway.
>>282723361All I'm about to say is fanfiction and [headcanon] tier but ever since Toei lost many Jump series to other studios, and even Wit is doing a remake of One Piece, I feel like they are forced to try hard, and would commit to their existing IP.They redid the Galopoula section and gave us a great rendition of Round 8 which proves they want to do the manga justice.
>>282723463>we lack a main antagonist like Ninomiya in B-Rank WarsI'm guessing that will end up being Jin and Rindo.
>>282723352I can see Kusakabe blitzing the south if Ninomiya can't lock down the bridge/river in time. It's only Squad 5 and 9 down there. Then they hunt terminals and go north to pincer.
>>282723574>They redid the Galopoula sectionWhat?
>>282722131The best spokon in Jump and it's not close
>>282719950These three teams vs the rest of the map combined and maybe it would be a fair fight, maybe.
>>282723593As a matter of power-levels, sure, they're the main threats, but Nino was more than just the strongest B-ranker. You want some conflict, rivalry, character arc there. "We win" wouldn't be so good if it was, say, Azuma they were taking down.
>>282723623Season 1 ended at the very start of the Galo invasion.
So... whose head on the provisional team will be flying first?
>>282722404yes, I think Azuma squad was Asuma, Ninomiya, Kako, Miwa and 1 operator.
>>282723791That was like 5 minutes.
>>282723798Kai Minamisawa
>>282722656We all know Jin will be using his Foresight to make Osamu look like a gigabrain to get him on the mission
>>282723352Yes, Kusakabe started it and Oji picked it up from her and with that it mind I dunno why he isn't speaking out about it. Maybe he is underestimating A-ranks. If she gets herself a strike force with 15~ combat units and B-ranks are unprepared its most likely lights out.
>>282723798It's not looking good for Kakizaki. Toma is right across a bridge from Kakizaki squad, and Suwa is coming to join.Kakizaki will die so Osamu can lead.
>>282723754I didn't just mean because they're the strongest. They also have more of a personal connection to our protagonists than someone like Tachikawa. They have a reason to want to put them to the test.
>>282723754I think this will end up being more about meeting expectations of the A-Rankers than being fully about "winning" in the traditional sense. It isn't just Osamu and the gang fighting here, so we'll probably get plenty of PoVs from others who are also growing like Jackson.
>>282723798Toma, sniped by an unhinged Taichi.
>>282723969That said, it would be too on the nose for Osamu to be a leader fast. Kakizaki might die 3rd or 4th.
>>282723336You will have more Stage Plays and you will like it.
Another fun thing hinted at: The three idiots and Izuho on defense duty. Hope they can bring down a marmod or two.
>>282723798as we can see here >>282719670 Oji is directly in front of Tachikawa squad and Kitazoe is in front of Fuyushima. Both of these provisional squads are marked for death. With Oji being mega marked for death because the squad reinforcing Tachikawa's is fucking T1, Oji's position is the guaranteed mega death zone. Worst yet Ninomiya's artillery unit is too far away to assist them. Oji is doomed.Regardless I'd say someone on Kitazoe's squad gets sniped (Kai) or someone gets Izumi'd on Oji's side.
>>282719121Best part of the month, yay
>>282723463B-rank war focused solely on Osamu squad so Ninomiya was necessary as a foil. Now this is a massive test that involves everyone relevant and they will all get roughly the same screentime and important role so we don't really need a main antagonist.Maybe Osamu will get a runback against Kazama or some kind of rivalry with Kusakabe but it won't be the main focus
>>282719123So they test A rankers too
>>282724151Yes, this is an expanded version of the test that was originally for A-rankers
>>282724043Yeah when they mentioned Nasu and C-ranks, I wondered if that meant possible Nasu/Izuho interactions
>>282723798Mikumo
>>282719199Ofher branches mentioned! I was wondering wbat were they up to, didn't expect them to ignore rank wars but still have combatants>>282719250For some reason I totally expected the battlefield to be an open grassland, surprised it's a cityscape. I guess my expectations were way off, but I don't think neighborhood cities are anything like modern world. I would expect something like Takistan map from arma 2 lol, maybe more compressed.>>28271932611 in a corner, huh. Easier to watch flanks but long distance from allies. Not sure how but it's gonna be important. >>282719377Canadians cannot into metric units?
>>282720804Technically, Nino can bulldoze most A-Ranks too. It's just Izumi that can give him a run for his money in a 1v1 fire fight
>>282722194It can't be anyone with Away Mission XP. So that excludes at least Tachikawa. Fuyushima and Kazama Squads. Possibly Kako and Miwa (assuming Nino went on Away Missions as part of OG Azuma Squad, that would count those two). And if Azuma Squad 2 (Katagiri and Yukimaru) went on Away Missions as well, that excludes them too.
>>282724469Imagine if Ashihara suddenly dropped another 20 characters while showing the other branches.
>>282719474Weak choice. His performance does not deserve this support.
>>282724687He's like the Jackson of A-Ranks
>>282724749Satomi is also the Jackson of A-rank. All megane in WT go through their own dedicated phase of development.
>>282724028Man must suck your acting career ends up dropping to doing shitty stage play for anime shit.
>>282721816Does it even matter? If losing terminals doesn't mean teams will be removed, they can go anywhere.
Reminder
>>282724127Still, even in group-vs-group you want the other group to be fighting for something too, at this point the enemies could be trion soldiers except for the hype factor because it doesn't feel like they have any personal stake in this.>>282723991But no expectations have been established. We had all this A-rank commentary, and it doesn't feel like anyone has anything to prove. Even for Katori despite her low score, you didn't have any consistent focus on some A-ranks putting her down. Her issues seem mostly resolved with Jackson starting to grow too.>>282723972So it's "nice mentors who always praise us and are impressed praising us and being impressed again". There's just not much weight to it.
>>282725125psst, this is still a setup arc, we are not in payoff stage, right now the conflicts will be created for the future stage.
>>282721036If A-rankers decide to stall and prorect their terminals, B-rankers attacking them will severely outnimber them. The question would be how to get intel on what the other team is doing, which terminals will be abandoned, and how quickly A-rankers will move in to destroy them and decide that they have a point advantage.
>>282725125>and are impressed praising us and being impressed againNo. I think they're going to give the B ranks hell, particularly their T-1 babies. It's going to be nice mentors taking off the training weights and offering a real challenge as equals.
>>282724687He did alright. He got the second highest score, only beaten by the squad that was handpicked to do homework. He's just the boring reliable choice. Suwa and Mizukami pulled off huge gains with gimmicks and tricks, Kodera just worked away at it.
>>282719765
>>282719420>Do we need a commander, asks solo agentSasuga
>>282725199If there were some rivalries or conflicts to be set up, then A-Rank commentary would have been the perfect place, I don't think it's what we're going for.>>282725234I mean, of course they won't go easy on them, but it's not like they were babying them before. At the end of the arc, the senior Tamakoma members opinions on their juniors won't really change. They always had high expectations and the expectations were being met.
>>282725232The operator with the peeping side effect will probably be a big advantage here.
>>282724469>For some reason I totally expected the battlefield to be an open grasslandA lot of us were expecting to see the forest map finally, I would have hoped for a Neighbor city
>>282720005i will miss namek, it grew on me
>>282725482It would be neat if their squad made nnake-like trion soldiers for her side-effect to blend in with.
>>282720061And that's why he's 43 points.
>>282719809>Rokuta is the cheapest operator by 40 points>never operated more than one ferociously independent borderer before>now assisting the general's teamDisasters waiting to happen
>>282720393>SUBARASHII
>>282720061at this rate he won't get those chika thighs, not even the hatohara flats
>>282719927Did Kazama insist on putting his uncs in uniform or are they just more chuuni than the other faculty
>>282719900Cute Yuri clone
>Miura and Somei each worth more points than Jackson and Katori put togetherWhat a hot mess of a team
>>282721673He's going to lose the battle but get closer than they expected and earn a place on the away mission after this one
>>282725929He can even activate his bracelet and take the Galopoula Uber ride to the neighborhood kek
>>2827195852 of them are from Ikoma squad.
>>282721597Sasuga Osamu "Great Buddha" Mikumo the Sage Strategist
>>282720032I dont know but Mikumo will find out. If this doesnt end in a Jin vs Mikumo Keikaku stand off i will be disappointed.
>>282719927Operators are worth 120 points.Captains are worth 200 points.Saki is cheating the system, she should be 320 points!
>>282726035>We get another "we win" but this time Jin is the one getting cheese'dImagine the reactions
>>282725240Kodera was stashing homework though which only got found out by chance which is why they didn't take first.
>>282719833>Ninomiya not wearing a suitSomething's wrong here.
>>282719534An attacker hitting the emperium for 3 minutes has the same damage output as 7 Chika Blasts.
>>282721036Oji wasn't really saying "We shouldn't do this because they could do this" or demanding Osamu instantly have a solution ready, he was asking if Osamu had accounted for that possible scenario. Osamu's answer was essentially "Yes, that scenario is accounted for and this is still my recommended course of action". That was all that was really needed. Oji doesn't have a better course of action to take at this time to recommend. Osamu doesn't have a different course of action to take at this time if the A-ranks plan on destroying terminals then turtling. So with a general agreement that Osamu's plan is their best course of action at the moment, no one offering any alternative plans much less better plans, and little time to plan in general; Kodera accepted the plan.
>>282725280Go back.
>>282726303>Oji doesn't have a better course of action to take at this time to recommend>Osamu doesn't have a different course of action to take at this time if the A-ranks plan on destroying terminals then turtlingI don't think this is true. I'm almost certain Osamu has a plan for this. And I suspect Oji has something in mind too.
>>282721036If you don't have a better plan, then you just accept it, even with a flaw. The important thing was that the team knew about the flaw and that Osamu made the plan with that in mind.
>>282719927>reverse harem>twin tailsyikes
>>282719950bullshit triothey should at least nerf their loadouts
>>282726426Izumi can be handled with Ninomiya.Tachikawa needs to be handled with a rain of bullets.Yuiga... he is not completely useless.In T-1, I feel that Reiji is more dangerous than Jin because Reiji can fill any role depending on the situation.I don't know enough about Fuyushima team besides being the incarnation of cancer.
>>282726379>inb4 osamu makes spider lairs trigger a trap upon being cut and having chika explode the general area with metora or an ibis shotLmao can't wait to see what osamu will think of
>>282719879Rindo on Miwa's team is pure harrassment.
>>282726361You misunderstand. I'm not saying that they don't have a plan for if the A-ranks destroy terminals to get a lead then turtle up. I'm saying that they don't have an alternative first move for that scenario. Turtling or not turtling, the best first move for the B-ranks is still grouping up and leaving half the terminals undefended. Oji just wanted to find out if Osamu had considered the turtling scenario.
>>282726584its the nerf for his team
>>282719474>poor man'sWait that Jackson.>passive index found investor's 4 eyes
>>282719608>Even Jin? I gotta wonder.Kuga has a good point here. Jin had an entire area for just him to deal with, the same as Amo, and this was AFTER his black trigger was taken away.
>>282726775*during the large-scale invasion
>>282720639Nah, it's a solid choice. He's sufficiently skilled to keep an eye on things and pick courses of action in a timely manner, and is unlikely to get so caught up in doing everything himself that he won't delegate. Most of the good possible alternatives are the people he's going to be delegating things to and their talents would likely be better spent at the smaller scale, not keeping an eye on the whole thing.
>>282720032Chika with double hound
>>282726166...Actually, do we know how much Jin can ACTUALLY see with foresight? I know he managed to see the invasion pretty fine but he was also basically chilling with Hyuse the entire time. Its possible the cheese here is create absolute chaos that Jin cant completely keep track of, so one lone Osamu can thruster his ass or something to that effect. I may be too high on my own supply, but IMAGINE the panel.
>>282720032Zoe's random meteor
>>282719474Now i want the b team to lose. Fuck Kodera.
>>282719450It felt like it was building up to Osamu being commander, especially with his fat point death cost, but I'll take some extra screentime for Kodera.
>>282720032If he can't talk to anyone about his sight, then you just need to split him from the rest of his group then have something like Nino/Chika pulverize him. Just because you can see the shots coming doesn't mean you can block it forever. Though that's easier said than done.
>>282726965The only way to beat Jin is to fight like a massive retard who makes all the "wrong" low-probability decisions.
>>282727029>then you just need to split him from the rest of his groupWhat if he sees this coming and sticks with his group no matter what?
>>282719121Shit, almost missed the thread. It was not a blessed day in Britbong but at least there's new WT.>>282719585shadow commander is the real commander>>282719560>>282719670It feels like Oji is testing for something here, and there's more reasoning behind Osamu's response than has been shown.
>>282727047The problem with that plan is that Jin is strong enough to handle retarded attacks.The way to beat him is to be so good that not even his prediction can protect him.
>>282720032Overwhelming him with attacks
>>282727125Its true, Kazama and Tachikawa would had his ass once he was in the garage if he didnt have Fujin.
>>282720032Blind him via darkness or use sneak attacks that he won't see coming.
>>282719474They haven't got a decided backup for if commander is taken down. Kodera is toast and either Mikumo, Suwa or Brocoli will take over.
>>282727162He wouldn't have gone in the garage in the first place if he didn't have fujin. Foresight is bs.
>>282727172Imagine if the A-rank kills every captain except Wakamura so he has to take the mantle until one of them respawn.
>>282727012Oh thats gonna absolutely happen when Kodera gets got, but i dont see Osamu as a commander type really. He can fuckin do it, sure, but he's more of a on site kind of guy, perfect for an NCO, but not an actual commander.
>>282727184Even then, in single duels Tachikawa has a higher win rate than Jin.Sword autism is the true bullshit.
>>282726775And Fujin isn't even that busted. So being able to fight off multiple A ranks at once is still impressive. Swarming him probably works better than trying to 1v1 him. But it's still far from a sure thing.
>>282727235Jin's foresight managed to make Fujin look like a powerful BT.
>>282720639Kodera is a sniper and he can sit back and coordinate, look at it from another side>who can we spare from the combat units who is also competent enough to not do dumb shit without compromising that team's performanceUtagawa is banned, Yuma is banned.Oji is a key fighter.Kakizaki is available. Inukai is banned.Kikuchi is banned. Hana doesn't have the multitask skill.Kuruma is available. Kodera is available.Osamu is a key fighter as a Katori enabler, Suwa is a key fighter as the entire team lacks firepower.Nino is banned, Azuma is banned. Ema is mute.Mizukami's team is the dentition of mid and needs all people to not splatter on contact.Kurauchi is a key fighter with the only mid range on his team.Hyuse is an ace.With this we have Kakizaki, Kuruma and Kodera as commander options - two mid-b-tiers and a proper A-rank nerd. Suwa just picked the best option, as he usually does.
>>282727235>>282727277If you think about it Fujin is just a Kotetsu with 7 Whirlwinds preloaded. Imagine how bullshit it would be if Ikoma whirlwind was possible with it.
>>282720704KageKatoKo dominationand sweat megane bros getting carried by their A rank all rounders
>>282727383Fujin is a sniper with blade option.Faster than Lightning, more range than Egret and stronger than trionlet Ibis, with the caveat that the target needs to be on the surface.Arafune is a mini Fujin.
>>282727299Hypothetically, would Hyuse and Yuma be allowed to captain with the rules? They haven't been on an away mission after all.
The A-rank commander is going to be Saki.
>>282727527Do we know who of the A-Ranks has Away Mission experience? Aside from Top3 and Tamakoma.
>>282727012Osamu doesn't really have the necessary rank and respect from the others to be the first or even second pick for commander. It was always going to need to be someone with more seniority who everyone takes for granted is capable. So he's doing the next best thing of stepping forward to offer a strategy to consider. Some of the others likely came up with the same idea, but he made a point of putting it out there first, before Kodera asked for ideas or had a chance to start issuing any plan of his own. That puts Osamu in people's minds at their defacto strategist, to be asked when further plans are needed, or listened to when further plans are offered. Which is a good position for him to be in as if the A-ranks ID and snipe the commander, if Osamu's the commander he can't really do much else until he respawns. However if it's in people's minds that he has good plans, he won't be the one ID'd and sniped as the commander, and who ever's in the commander's spot will either look to him for plans, or at least be willing to hear him out.
>no release date for next chapterI'm scared
>>282727527She's done an away mission, that's why Midorikawa was on his own at the start of the story.
>>282720704Which group is going to take Tachikawa's squad?Which group is going to take T-1?
>>282727645It usually defaults to next month so I wonder what's going on.
>>282727684>which groupall of them? or they die. its a raid boss scenario one 5 man party ain't gona cut it.
>>282719765>brown tomboy isn't brownashihara please
>>282727684Tachikawa and B-Squads 1 and 2 are both far north. So mostly Attackers and All-rounders. Looks high risk if they made no gunner/sniper soldiers.
>>282719900my wives
>>282727690Sometimes Ashihara announces a break in advance in the author comments, maybe that's what happened
>>282719326>>282719377City...i was expecting the mysterious forest map>>282719450>>282719474would be my first pick too>>282719585Absolute madman>No sweat
>>282727780She's been in a pod with no sunlight for the past five years. Cut her some slack.
>>282727647No, she was out recruiting, not on an away mission. Different job entirely.
>>282719731>>282719765>>282719785>>282719809>>282719833/OUR/ Heroes....and Taichi
>>282727527>>282727565I guess it's either her or Arashiyama, the "no away missions" rule is pretty restrictive on the A ranks. Unless Kako also qualifies, I can't remember. The only other captain would be Katagiri, and his squad is at the bottom of A rank.
>>282720687Checked, he's low end average (5)
>>282728109Aren't designs unshackled from individual caps, just the team caps now?
>>282719879Asumi a cute
>>282728186For a corpse
>>282728097Katagiri looks like a strategic type and he's former Azuma squad so he might be a decent candidate. And having his squad in the spotlight would be nice
>>282728208The Katagiri Squad zombie lore deserves more love, even if it was the most obtuse thing Ashihara has ever written.
>>282727473They would have to be allowed. The decision is being left up to people who mostly don't know that they're neighbors.
>>282728208>>282728321Is this a room 303 joke? Never read it
>>282728321qrd?
>>282728443It's a oneshot so you might as well.>>282728499The prototype Katagiri squad walks into a mysterious mansion where weird things happen.
>>282728531Uhh... must be destroyed?
>>282726911I figured they were going to pick him, but I still don't thinik it was the best choice. My one big issue with him as commander is his squad. They don't seem very strong. I already had them pegged for fodder to build up an A rank squad. Even keeping themselves in the fight is going to be challenging enough without also having to command the whole thing. And worst of all is Rokuta. All communication to and from the B ranks' commander is dependent on the worst operator in the entire battle.
>>282726573>Chika can just shoot peopleWe're ready for a hitherto imaginable World Trigger
>>282727162They should've kept Izumi on the fight for the insane pressure he'd pit
>>282728927Kodera can make Kitora and Okudera part of Squads 1+2, keep Miura as a shield, and use Rokuta's laptop as a map and phone for strats.No point in trying to micro-manage his own squad too. Not with Rokuta as Op.
>>282727299Osamu is technically speaking the obviously most proficient commander, but he is to new for people to just trust him with command.I wouldn't say Osamu is a key fighter lmao, he's really expendable
I'd like to think a lot of squads(except Kusakabe since Saki knows how to move in a trion body) might end up needing to carry their operator for a variety of reasons like quickly retreating or quickly getting on to the field.
>>282728927in terms of raw fighting power Kodera doesn't have the worst bunch because Kitora is an ace attacker from a-rank rank 5 team, their main issue is that their operator is a room decoration but with the current arrangement she might be put on 24/7 Kodera's radio duty making her somewhat usefull. Leftover guys are all melee attackers and can just fuck off into the sunset with Kitora in charge.the real worst combat team is Mizukami's and its not close.
>>282729345I want to carry Nono
>>282719286Floaty laptop? Neat.>>282719474Ah, it has foldable arm to the backpack!
Losing half your terminals would kind of fuck your operational range. Operators have to charge their laptops at friendly terminals.
I can't believe you'd be a Border operator, rise through the ranks, learn the system, and never even try a trion body, not just take a trigger for a test run to do some backflips and double jumps, are these hoes even curious
>>282719121>leaving the gaming housebittersweet feeling
>>282719854>>282719833I thought for a moment Watergod had the least points of all captains, but there's Wackymura after all...
>>282719250We Slam Dunk now, never read that manga heard it's legendary as hell tho like Eyeshield 21 another sports manga I never read
>>282729461doesn't matter as B-ranks cannot protect their terminals even if they try. Osamu is not being severe enough, they should all group up on Nino's team and then slowly work their way out as a single army abandoning all terminals and the whole operator recharge gimmick in favor of concentrated firepower and verbal communication between tightly grouped soldiers.
>>282722601You forgot how his foresight works. Its not set into stone, he sees multiple paths and sometimes can't see shit at all. So lets say he sees a squad flanking them and runs to intercept. But it turns out the squad is doing a front attack. There is one less jin at the frontline. Imagine with others copying him how it can really hurt him.
>>282719286I kinda want to see if Katori's lack of trion boobs will affect her movement. There is that thing about the Trion body needing to be close to your human body for you to move effectively. But I guess by now that Katori is more used to her jugged up Trion body than her flat real one.
>>282729482Oh i think they've all done it, but theres a difference between trying it out once and actually knowing how to move in one. Its more likely they just had to adjust again cause they arent used it to like Combat Agents are.
>>282729756She seems quite adaptable so I'm not worried about that. The fashion disaster sapping her morale is a serious concern though.
>>282719585God I love it when Osamu turns his brain on
>>282729396Looks like the laptops are supported by a rather thin support arm coming from the back. Easiest to see in >>282719420
>>282719809>Kotori is fucking mad It just hit me, do we know if they have their usual trigger loadouts for this? Because if they don't they're gonna have to adjust to fighting differently from their typical loadouts on the fly meanwhile I bet the a rankers may even have their custom triggers active for this
>>282719854Kumagai took me a moment to remember, she's the one that's gay for Nasu, right?
>>282729962I believe they had the option of swapping their loadouts on the last day, so if they swapped anything, they would know.
>>282729827>The fashion disaster sapping her morale is a serious concern though.The jackets look good on the boys so it's karmic justice for what Miura and Waka had gone through
>>282729990She's hetero for Jin, foresight confirmed it.
>>282719879>MiwaBruh, can you imagine him picking a fight with Kuga or Hyuse here just because of his racism? also the A rankers being in all white for some reason made me think of the X-Laws from Shaman King and Quincy/Arrrancars has there ever been a group that's not antagonistic that wears all white? They even look like villains who look approachable at first glance but are really psycho killers or something
>>282719900What the fuck is Kako doing there? why is her outfit so much sexier than the others?
>>282730063>A rankers being in all whiteThey keep their original uniforms
>>282719927imagine the anime opening we get for this arc and a good chunk of the stills are this chapter It feels like it was made for seriously why are the girls doing all the aura farming for this usually the boys are the ones who should be doing poses like these
>>282729962If I recall they can actually swap between 2 loadouts. Which was why there was a discussion if Ko could sleep learn becoming a shooter.
>>282719765Looking at Oji's pose, maybe he switched to a shooter loadout. It would def help their range balance.
>>282719990You can't.
>>282730140He already has Hound in his original loadout
>>282719199Nasu mentioned!at least that
>>282719950Tamakoma aren't using their custom triggers are they? and I completely forgot about Yuri she's scary
>>282720005Hypest chapter i´ve read of anything in a while.All those years of (great) spreadsheets are paying off.We´re so back.
>>282719765>>282719900
>>282726537>Reiji can fill any role depending on the situation.And he will be the commander
>>282720005Remember this page, Remember that we were here because I get the feeling we're gonna have some rough times ahead in the coming years and maybe not all of us are gonna make it to the end
Just noticed that the A rank operators got generic outfits instead of there suits. I guess they didn't want to design 8 A rank uniforms for operators.
>>282719250>sports manga
>>282720005Last for ui cute ass
>>282730063Ashihara missed on putting the canadian engineer on their team. Shit would've been funny
>>282719950>Konami so amped up she's jumping in placeIt's over. B ranks are dead.
>>282730159Yeah, but we saw in the Kuruma-Kitazoe fight that an extra ranged trigger makes a real difference in pressure.
>>282730140I think he's just being a dork. There would be no reason for him to bring out cubes right now. Especially with trion being more precious here.
>>282727047You need to be a 20-year-old dual-wielding chuuni with grid eyes.
>>282730382Image training. Like how they talked about imagining sand or coffee for mixed bullets, Oji is posing so he can imagine splitting two cubes.I agree real cubes would be a waste.
Time to pray.
>>282719250Oh, that's where they fought Shide that time
>>282727565If Nino is excluded along with Azuma, we can assume Miwa and Kako also have Away Mission experience.As Azuma-2, it's possible that Yukimura and Katagiri might have qualified and went on the Away Missions before they split from Azuma
>>282730510The terminal's secret weakness will be gasoline and fire.
>>282730119The first OP of S2 was cool so I wouldn't mind something similar but with more dynamic poses.
>>282729741Also, his foresight can be a distraction from the present.He has actually taken Ls in the past cos he got so preoccupied with the future visions that he forgot about the present.
>>282720005we're really finally out...
>>282730656i can hear it
>>282719879Love these guys already
>>282730759>take it
>>282730324She put together a list of agents to punish during the sealed environment test and she is going to cross the names off
>>282719936If only Maki had seen this
Man, Hyuse was right, the training Border has really has crafted a fantastic enviorment especially for when actual enemies show up, you can best see it with the way the agents conduct themselves against actual enemies from the outside best exemplified in Border vs Galouhpla, Konami, Nasu and Tachikawa really surprised in that fight I had thought Tachikawa was too prideful to pull a move like he did and that Konami's nativity would mean that if the enemy could fool her despite her strength they could overcome her
>>282723128Yaba daba doo I guess
>already almost deadso this is the power of post-excel arc
Someone is totally getting sniped next chapter. I bet it's Kai.
>>282731043Homework and exams made this manga more popular than ever. It just goes to show how much people love schoolwork.
>>282731056Whoever's the most fun for Toma to snipe. Maybe Azuma.
