>>287188900>>287188923I can't help but feel like Kazama has taken a leaf out of Kuga's book fighting like this.
After 4 years in the boat Ashihara forgot how to draw momentum and fights again.

We are so back after the spreadsheet arc bros!!!
>Have chika ran around sniping objective with her OP attack statsSurely Kodera can come up with something this basic by himself? This is the author dumbing him down just to put mikumo on pedestal.
>>287189433discount hyuse+chika combo
>>287189272Lewd.>>287189783>Three cheers for Taichi and his horse dog mounts.He's definitely been the MVP so far.
>>287189643>Using Switchbox traps>Against a unit with Chika riding, who has a Danger Sense side-effectYeah, that wasn't going to work.
>>287189125>fired up to get back in combat phase after her blunder>first blood'dBrutal reality check
>>287189795Kodera himself would have probably used the two to fight off the blitz that they're currently still getting fucked over by. It's just a different perspective with different tradeoffs.
>>287189795Kodera is less creative and more risk-averse, so the idea of having Chika and Nino by themselves was maybe not good in his mind. Mikumo nudged him to accept that idea.He's the kind of guy who would play safe in chess matches (slow openings, control the center, move his pawns as a wall), while Mikumo is asking him to use the knights in a batshit insane way.
>>287189554It's just... stiff fit no reason.
>>287189795He likes his standard but safe tactics, so sending two high value units deep into enemy territory seems like a strat that's outside of his box.
>>287189795I can buy this. Osamu is more informed about the mounts because Taichi explained to them personally. And he's quicker to think how to use Chika since it's what he's been doing all the time.
>>287189795Anon, you may think it's a simple strategy, but it actually has a lot of layers>destroy a dome to both make her presence known and rescue the cornered agents>unknown on the radar with great mobility>making her a bait with a competent agent white knighting her>forcing the other side to focus on her with their eyesight instead of radarWearing down the tower is just a means.
>>287189952Also yeah, having Chika's location known is a risky move, the kind of move that Kodera wii not think of.
>>287189916I guess drawing complex fight scenes with interwoven attack patterns firing off among multiple combatants is going to take a few more months of practice and neck therapy. In the meantime I really enjoyed Katori vs. Raizo.
>>287189783So Osamu is threatening to stall with 99% of the team, while an invisible and fast Chika-Nino unit wreck all the terminals? Interesting way to try and force a response.
>>287189272>>287189300Is this Double Thruster?
>>287189952Yeah, the eyesight thing is good. Nino and Chika are already tricky to handle with a small force. And now they're fast and hard to find.
>>287189454>mobile artilleryMore OP than scorpion.
>>287189370...me?
>>287189395girls hate him
Now that we saw our chubby thunder in action, what are your predictions for Yukimaru's combat style?
>>287189819Isn't Nino's bigger than Hyuse?
>>287189795This is less a matter of complexity than it is risk. Chika and Nino are both the B ranks' most important strategic edge. Any successful strategy will be built on them. Losing them early without them doing much is pretty much an instant defeat, especially with their longer respawn timers. And Osamu just sent them alone behind enemy lines without backup or protection.This is an incredibly risky move and it doesn't even create a win condition. This is just to pull pressure off the agents trapped in the museum. No one who isn't insane (like Osamu) would ever do this.
>>287189866Doesn't her spidey sense only work on neighbors?
>>287188806Looks like kino is back on the menu, boys.
>>287189783Next week can't come soon enough
>>287189952>with a competent agent white knighting herI didn't see Ema there

>>287189525This page has been up for 1 hour and no one has made the LA CREATURA joke. 4chan is truly dying.
>>287190544Hyuse has more Trion but Ninomiya is the better shooter.
>>287191321We've become desensitized after seeing her tumble through the air, sagging jowls and all
>>287189757>clippity cloppity we're blowing up your property
>>287188859This is sort of like a midpoint between an attacker and shooter trigger.
Schizo-tier theory here, but maybe Ashihara also cut down on the action this chapter because of WT-festa later this month and maybe he's drawing some art for the event. Maybe even something related to the reboot announcement.
>>287189594Not the pupper!
>>287190552>doesn't even create a win conditionThey're literally blowing up the terminals
>>287191321we're used to her abominable form.
>>287191429>terminalsCan't even blowing one up.
>>287190577It's been explicitly stated to work on Trion soldiers (when they were just called "neighbors"). But she has a good track record of being able to detect snipers aiming at her. >>287189594We even see it here- even though she puts up shield after it leaves the barrel and is in theory detectable, the reaction speed would have to be ABSURD if the side-effect was off the table.
>>287189783Yuba bros, why is Taichi shining brighter than us...
>>287188818>>287188900>More autism with trigger usageI kneel, Ashihara-sensei
>>287189795Nah, Osamu has in field experience with Chika and plenty with Nino. He knows what they can do and how to use them better than the commander.
>>287190552>This is an incredibly risky move and it doesn't even create a win condition.I wouldn't say it doesn't create a win condition. Destroying all their terminals is a win condition, and if they ignore Chika+Ninomiya she can probably wipe all their terminals in 10-15 minutes. It's a threat they can't ignore and isn't easily dealt with seeing as Ninomiya isn't an easy target, and Chika's shields can tank her own meteora explosion and her hound will be a nightmare if she's getting accustomed to shooting people. Osamu's tactic here might not just "buy time" for the museum people, but collapse the A-rank team's entire blitz as they have to divert significant talent and numbers to deal with the duo. Put another way, Osamu's basically telling them "You want to ignore defense and go all out on offense? We can win quicker than you can if you do that." With the big question being what's the plan for extracting Chika and Nino from enemy territory if Arashiyama does divert enough resources to take them out.
>>287191429Everyone knows the A ranks are not just going to stand there and let them do that. Them being pursued is the entire point. And because of how the shields work, shooting at them is the least efficient way of taking them down. They'd be lucky to destroy one before getting mobbed and/or sniped. This is not a strategy intended to win the match. It's damage control to try and steal back some initiative after losing it all to the A ranks' opening.
>>287191321Too much shit happened for me to creaturapost. I'm still processing the fact that after Teruya, Kai and Koala are bailing out.
>>287191658>Chika's shields can tank her own meteora explosion Do that and she is dead, the A team are elites for a reason>her hound will be a nightmareAlready down a leg.The plan is mainly for seizing the initiative (offense) so they are not being one step behind (defense), they know full well the A team will counterreact.Anon here usually think Chika is a surewin card, but in reality, she is palying against people way above her level.
>>287191658Yeah, if Chika's Ibis reload speed is <8 seconds, she can down a terminal in one minute. Same speed as 3 Hyuses.I don't think we have numbers on Ibis reload speed, but who would bet it's more than 15+ seconds?
>>287191658If your strategy only wins if your opponent does literally nothing, then it isn't creating a win condition. The A ranks aren't even all in on offense. There are two squads and a bunch of rabbits in reserve. And the A ranks don't even have to kill Nino or Chika. Just sufficiently threatening them such that they can't attack the terminals without getting themselves killed is enough. Which is not a high bar considering it takes 8 "hey look at me, I'm right here" shots fired at fixed targets with known sight lines.And in the meantime, the B ranks' main force just lost all of their heavy firepower. Especially if Hyuse hasn't arrived at the front yet.Osamu never intended this is as a way to actually win, because he is smart enough to know it wouldn't work. It's an emergency measure to minimize damage from the opening attack and preserve the B ranks' numbers advantage. And even as that it's a huge gamble. Now maybe with some other crazy idea that prevents the A ranks from pursuing, it could work. But, as it is, this is a diversion.
Chika + Nino need someone else. I feel like they need two attackers to back them up in case someone gets close to them. I am thinking they will be targeted by Katagiri and Kusakabe. Therefore someone has to stop Midorikawa from chimping out on them.
>>287188878Look at that absolute unit double shielding without a care in the world
>>287188900>>287188923Oh how I missed Scorpion bullshit
>>287188957>>287188976Okay, which attackers can just 1v2 like that? This isn't even fair
>>287189006Yeah sadly the actual choreography is way below the peaks like the bridge or mall fights
>>287189916His always been super stiff, early WT action was always bad. I was actually surprised the last two rank battles he got rid of his stifness, Yuma and Hyuse vs Ko choreography is actually pretty good.He hasnt drawn action in years.
>>287192056"if you ignore this I win" is literrally win-condition. It's best kind of diversion - you have to spend resources, time and attention to deal with it or you will literally lose the game, not just some of your army like getting into ambush. And problem is if you don't pull enough resources it won't go away, you'll just waste them, but if you overcommit, you get troubles at the front-line. They are an Oracle harrasing drones on minerals.
>>287189125Golden child not so tough after homework phase is over
>>287189454
>>287192261By a tired chess analogy, Osamu has the knight keeping the enemy's king in CheckIt's an easy Check to get out of, but it's putting pressure on one area of the battlefield and forcing the opponent to spend resources to counter it
>>287192287This is Zakis fault for training her wrong.
>>287188806>he gets his fucking leaf triggerBro how is this fair.
>>287192403I hope Ashihara won't make my boy Kotaro job like her.
>>287192261>"if you ignore this I win" is literrally win-condition.No it isn't. That would make every single conceivable attack a "win condition". Think about "we win". Not only was that not relying in Nino to ignore Osamu, it specifically involved baiting out particular responses. If this ChikaNino thing were coupled with something else that made responding to it especially difficult or was baiting out a response to take advantage of with something else, that would be creating a win condition. If it's just forcing the A ranks to divert resources to blunt their attack and let the B ranks get their footing then that is not a win condition.
>>287189209Is this man actually using Raygust like a lightsaber and just...turning it on and off? How can one man be SO BASED.
>>287192455He has Utagawa looking out for him he should be fine.
>>287189272https://youtu.be/oXp8Th41rBs?si=Pz5OX3lv4j8eWbHW
>>287192455Nah, he's going to do some cool stuff with Yuuma before he dies.
>>287189300The B-rank Wars meta really is years behind
>>287192261>"if you ignore this I win" is literrally win-condition.Everyone, even the 4 eyes who planned move this knows full well they are not going to ignore. Heck, they even predict what Chika is gonna do before she shoots a terminal.Let's see the facts from this chapter:>2 top hard hitters going solo into enemy territory without any backup (yet)>the terminal they shot needs another 6 or 7 hit to be down, assuming they keep hitting it>Can only shot if there is no pursuer>their mobility is already down a legAll in all, it's not a winning move, but a trade off move to gain the initiative.And remember, there is no respawn option for both of them if they are taken out.
>>287189783>>287191658Arashiyama's going to send T1 after them isn't he?
>>287189433>>287189454This is such an overpowered combo
>>287189594Fuckin' Toma
>>287189693For a second I thought Nino installed a robotic trion arm.
>>287189617>>287189643So that's what a Trapper does
a lot of b-class are gonna job, no way around it
>>287189709NOW THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE
>>287189749I'm starting to think the gremlin is mentally retarded.
>>287189783Mister Propaganda looks unfazed. A-ranks are picking up the advantage next chapter.
>>287192795He says he only takes shots if they will hit. And he means it.
>>287192251Ko vs Yuma in R3 has some great stuff too. Also Kuma.
>>287191932>Already down a leg.Anon meant Hound bullets, not the horsedog.
>>287190542Seeing as you can clearly combine double Raygust blades or shields, I'm gonna wishlist for a but and say he does the zweihander thing.
>>287191658>Chika's shields can tank her own meteora explosionAnon, please don't be naive, you literally see Chika still taking damage even with her shield out in this chapter, they know how to deal with her. The only way she can be an actual threat is by making use of a surprise factor, and that card is gone.
>>287190542Massive doubled up blade with rotational thrusters that can pierce the heavens
>>287191658It puts me in mind a bit of Hinata from Haikyuu, who for a big chunk of the series contributes mainly by being an excellent decoy for the other teams' blockers, but the reason he can do that is because he's a genuine scoring machine if left unattended. This strat isn't actually terribly efficient for dealing with all the terminals, its main purpose is to ease the A-rank blitz's pressure, but the A-ranks can't afford to ignore it.
>>287189433Don't let all this action distract you from the fact that Toma is on team horse.
>>287192742Well, do we know what the respawn timers actually are? It could be possible that Chika come sback in the last 2 hours or something if she dies right now. Hell, Ninomiya could come back halfway through.If i was Arashiyama i would just send snipers after them to harass. They are already down a leg, one lucky shot and the dog is dead and thats their mobility GONE. Sacrifice a terminal or two and make it back by sweeping the injured B rankers and pushing the offensive advantage. Locking down Nino and Chika takes out an artillery piece, its worth the trade off.
>>287193013>you literally see Chika still taking damage even with her shield out in this chapterAre you blind?
>>287192744>Tamakoma-1 was listed as "A rank 0" in the team spreadsIt's such a cool flourish every time
>>287193106>Shield out against the bullet>the target still taking the hitIf it does not prevent the intended damage, then having a shield is useless.
>>287193212Toma doesn't hit targets he knows will be blocked. He went around the shield to hit the mount.
>>287193253yes, and that's why I said they know how to deal with her.
>the spotter is on the same side as Chika and NinoOh no.
>JammingPlease tell me they do not have a pocket jamming model, that combine with chameleon seems like a broken combo for snipers.
>>287192545the virgin scorpion vs. the chad raygust.
T-there's no break next month, right?
>>287193093We just know that it's higher when the trion is higher, and past statements indicate that it'd take Chika around a day to recover. Theoretically she could get taken out now and come back in the last few hours, but that doesn't mean much if the battle is over in just a few hours. >They are already down a leg, one lucky shot and the dog is dead and thats their mobility GONE.They can't count on them having only one mount(which they probably should have two), and Chika can return sniper fire while Ninomiya guards. Or Ninomiya can return fire while Chika guards. So getting that lucky shot is easier said than done, and isn't guaranteed to halt them.
>>287193498Don't forget to pray
>>287193498Get your prayer reps in. Pray enough to annoy the father above into transferring the neck pain from Ashibara to your least favourite politician
>>287193404I think it would be the least useful for snipers. Snipers already attack without being seen without chameleon. Dropping chameleon to shoot wouldn't be that different from popping up out of cover. And they'd still give away their position when they shoot.But an attacker or gunner being both invisible and off radar would be a nightmare to deal with. Even Jackson would be a threat like that.
>>287189318Raizo set the standard for Double Raygust. I swear to god if Yukimaru disappoints me and doesn't at least do shenanigans of this level, he's getting put on fraud watch.>>287191282Look, I get that Raizo's a fatass, but this is World Trigger, not an NTR
>>287193568The thing is their advantage is in their number, and they sacrificed it with this small team, so having 2~3 agents persuade/neutralize them, potentially blocking them out of the game, is really not idealHaving the top 1 sniper being the first to eye on them only makes matter worse.
>>287193720Would be cool if Yukimaru uses them as claws and has some sort of custom trigger that gives them flexible shapes.
>>287193568Yeah, thats why its a lucky shot. The real benefit of sending the snipers after them is purely to lock down their capability to fire at terminals for free. Sure, they can just guard and fire back, but thats gonna wear them down trion wise eventually. Even if its Chika. and it removes their capability to become a real threat as an artillery piece later in the match.
>>287193667Chameleon can still be spotted on radar. With this thing, they become a ghost, as it's not a trigger. So all they have to do is choose a location, then pop it off and snipe, then ghosting again.
>>287193781it already has flexible shape
>>287193850They're already ghosts. They all live in bagworms and are far enough away and sneaky enough that basically no one sees them before they fire. So switching to chameleon and trion soldier jamming doesn't change much for them. It would let them reposition more quickly because they wouldn't have to sneak. But that's also at the cost of high trion consumption.In comparison, a gunner that can reposition without anyone being able to tell where they went and are about to fire from is very different from a typical gunner.
>>287188923I recognize this strat.
>>287193986The thing is bagworm can't save you from the attackers after you are spotted if you failed your shot.This jamming thing is basically their bagworm, exept it does not cost them their trion(?).
>>287189194>>287189209Did the shield spin or did he use thruster to spin himself?
>>287194094>Thruster:On.
>>287189525The trion soldier tech, such as this jamming + high agility mount is an incredible advantage for the B rankers.
>>287193274Fair enough. The way you wrote it made it seem you meant Chika personally taking damage rather than her current setup.
>>287194065>bagworm can't save you from the attackers after you are spottedIt sort of does, though. As long as they're a decent distance away, the combination of bagworm and breaking line of sight with normal non-chameleon concealment is enough to get away.I'm not saying this combo is useless for a sniper. But it would change things the least for snipers.
>>287193404Never mind the snipers, I want to see this illegal combo applied to attackers.
>>287189433GET ON MY HORSEMY HORSE IS AMAZING
>>287189300>>287192680>Spin to WinThat's casual meta.
>>287193858Right, I wanna rephrase it as: Have Yukimaru preset some claw shapes so he can quickly alternate between them. Just saying it would be a bit disappointing if he also has sword and shield combo. Since Raygust basically is a handle with custom blades, it'd be real fun to see someone exploiting that versatility in a fast-paced fight.
>>287189300>>287189424https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19qpqjebafg
A pocket jammer would be good for more than just the chameleon combo. A shooter could do composite bullets while staying off radar. Same with Chika's lead lightning. Even just being able to fight with both trigger slots while off radar would be an advantage against neighbors that can detect trion but don't have instant communication like Aftokrator.
>>287189757>>287189783Too basic for Osamu. What is he hiding?
>>287195267Ema in bagworm following right behind them.
>>287189795Kodera is rather risk averse, which makes sense given he's not (yet) a captain, even though he's a tactician. Also one of his mistakes from the Sealed Environment phase was not using his teammates more, so he's obviously trying to correct that. He's in charge of a huge number of people in the combat pharse, so it makes sense that he's isn't micro-managing everything solo and is looking for other people's input in tight situations.
>>287189300lmao how do you even counter this shit as an attacker
>>287189757>>287189733Can't Chika trion transfer to Nino for a massive attack?
>>287192487And this specifically involves baiting out a particular response: spreading out the A rankers. NinoChika aren't going to stick around to fight whoever goes after them, the only reason they took a second shot is because there was no movement. Once someone moves to pursue them they'll run to another terminal. Arashiyama needs to cast a wide net to surround them, otherwise they'll just run from terminal to terminal taking potshots.
>>287195716Embrace the all-rounderpill and equip hound/viper so that when Raizo has his arms raised you turn him into cheese by delaying bullets.tl:dr do what Hyuse did to Kage in the mall.
>>287195716Senku should work just fine. But other raygust users and all but the most mobile and tricksy of scorpion users probably wouldn't be able to do much.
>>287189783I bet Arashiyama will complete the pincer as planned. Maybe redirect one or two distant squad towards rear terminals. That would force Chika and Nino to target terminals near the river or slow them down with a fight. If they choose the river, A-rankers can rabbit back when it's useful and crush B-rankers until then.
>>287188818>tentacle swordHonorary nipponese.
>>287195841lol, it would be funny if they cast a net and surround NinoChika, then Nino pops an Ilgar and they just fly away.
>>287191393>>287188859They should make a whip out of this.
>>287195841They are not going to send an entire search party after them. They don't need to. One, maybe two squads at the most. That would still be enough to weaken their attack, which is the whole point. But it's not enough to totally disrupt them on its own. If this remains the status quo, Chika and Nino eventually get hunted down without the main A rank force ever breaking. And then the A ranks just regroup their whole mass again and win.There either has to be another element to this plan or Chika and Nino will have to withdraw before the heat gets to be too much.
>>287196220The provisional squads get to reform their battle line, and it blunts the A-rank blitz. Assuming a couple of A-rank squads go to hunt Ninoka, and the other nearby provisional squads push forward to assist, that opens up a new front and the provisional squad's numbers advantage matters more
>>287189783>Osamu sweating>Arashiyama isn't
>>287193986Wait, what's the difference between bagworm and jamming? The latter is AoE?
>>287196220You can't send only one squad against Nino being supported by Chika.
>>287195267Osamu had to make this up on the spot, he needs prep time to make something intricate.
>>287189643>Ninorare getting a romantic horse ride with Chika while she clings to himEmabros...

>>287188976So much for the attacker killer>>287195716Pinball!
Your reminder
When does he become the main target for A rankers ? They cannot counter his advanced tactics, gotta send in some assassins...
>>287197327Arashiyama will realize he's the madman behind Chika/Nino taliban tactics and will send a high-mobility agent to hunt his ass down..
>>287197327He's gonna be hiding in the backline all day so not until the end of the exam
>>287197388Konamis is going to fucking murder four-eyes
>>287190603fuck you for reminding me WT used to be weekly, I'd almost forgotten>>287192403I think she's the one training him anon...
>>287197422Knowing Osamu, he's most likely gonna use himself as bait
>Another chapter of Ko and Rokuro doing jack shitImpressive.
If Chika's Ibis does 136 damageHow much would a concentrated Meteora do?
>>287197530Under normal circumstances, absolutely. He'll just be bait later on than usual because of his high point value.
>>287196506You can when they're A rank. T-2 1v1'd Nino and his squad without Hyuse or wires. The horse dog is the thing that might necessitate more manpower due to the mobility it gives them. But Toma already diminished that some.
>>287188818a melee trigger with a function like that is really fucking weird. Also insanely deadly in 2v2s, but a bit weaker in 1v1s
>>287188900>>287189125Kazama has been doing more and more Kuga-like things, its crazy. Those two haven't even talked on screen, right?
>>287198513>perpetual chibi has a manlet stalkercute
>>287198513The only time I can remember Kazama talking to Kuga is right after fighting Mikumo. Kazama has definitely watched every single match Tamakoma-2 was a part of for Mikumo and ended up getting ideas from Kuga.
>>287198513It's a reawakening of the true number 1 manlet
>>287198513Wouldn't be surprised if Kazama uses Mantis in this battle.
>>287198513He's the rank 2 attacker, he's always had some Scorpion tricks from what I remember
>>287198513They did talk on screen after Kazama beat the dogshit out of OsamuKazama also has a track record of stealing Kuga's moves
I don't think the finger cutting blade is from Yuuma. Has Yuuma even done that? Yuuma has also never done a scorpion spring, but I could see that one being inspired by him, at least in spirit.
>>287198952On a side note, this panel is reassuring regarding the quality of the fight once the anime reaches the current point. One of the best fights Toei ever delivered for this manga.
>>287190603We'll be lucky if we have one chapter next month broGet those prayers up right fucking now
>>287189454Chika's talented and powerful knight
>>287189057Come on Yuba! Do something Yuba!
>>287189300Wouldn't fatties last the longest in a trion body because they eat more?>>287189341Is saltori even worth fighting, you don't get many points>>287189433>>287189454What is better than nuclear missile?Nuclear missile on a motorcycle
>>287195250I mean, we know Yukimura has a custom Thruster, so he'll probably show off in some non-standard way.
>>287199450>Is saltori even worth fighting, you don't get many pointsIt would still be nice to get her out of the way.
>>287189525>hands not in his pocketsNot my Ninomiya.
>>287197103>suddenly I want to see Nino cuck EmaIt is more likely that Yuma cucks him, Nino is too autistic for relationships, although the offspring of Nino and Chika would be god tier>>287197327Literally one guy is all that is needed to take him down, Osamu is just going to be really far away from the battlefield
>>287199499he's fuckin driving
>>287188859Having to sheath it every time is rough. Gen'yo seems better overall.
>>287188976I like Tachikawa's powerlevel here. He doesn't instakill, but he's definitely strong.
>>287197605Probably a lot of damage, but sniper triggers heavily specialize in long ranged combat, if you want to one shot terminals you are going to have to get close. Lets say theoretically the Ibis takes 1 minute to refire, that is still going to kill terminals very quickly and force the A-rankers to respond
>>287189795>MIKUMO! I need a crafty plan, stat!>I dunno, just have Chika blow stuff up or something, that's what I usually do.
>>287199763We can just bomb them?Osamu for president, Canada has been a pain in the ass for far too long
>>287189643Trapper stocks dipping after years of inactivity. Hopefully they do something big this match.
>>287189757>falling for bait
>>287199546Chika is not brown enough for Yuuma.
>>287196373>>Osamu sweatingLiterally meaningless.
>>287199926The teleportation is also a trapper thing, and that's been very effective. Trapper stocks stable, creatura stocks falling.
>>287190542Flight or he is constantly moving around jumping off of walls and stuff. His thrusters are customised after all.
>>287197327Do we know if he went with two Raygusts yet?
>>287199588Not an excuse for the chuuni king.
Teruya, my beloved…
>>287200308jobbed
>>287197697>T-2 1v1'd Nino and his squad without Hyuse or wires.They needed the element of surprise and to catch him completely off-guard. It wasn't a replicable thing.
>>287192150It's Urushima's time to shine.
>>287200321It's not jobbing if you're killed by the no.2
>>287189795It’s not that he can’t think about it, it’s that he would never risk it. In this case he’s purposefully deferring judgment—that’s the move, not the particular strategy. He’s saying “I would never do this, so I don’t know how to gauge—from among all the things I would never do—which has the least risk for the most return”. Since Mikumo does seem to have that skillset, he’s simply putting the “risk assesment + strat” in his hands for one move.
>>287189209I still can't tell if Thruster always only ever goes in the direction you point the Raygust in or not.
>>287191565So it works on maybe trion energy thing and not "danger" per se?
>>287195716I think there used to be a martial arts manga where they counter spinning attacks
>>287200530Could also just be another application of foresight that is far more limited in scope than Jin's.
>>287189300Osamu needs to pick up a second raygust ASAP
>>287200662True. Shield is for pussies.
>>287189788
>keyboard playing cat
>>287201287That thing is not a cat...
>>287189209>>287189272its hard to see, but is Raizo holding both Raygust together so that the blade "fuses?"
>>287200132>Osamu>Two raygustsDon't spend all your trion at once
>>287201442When he blocks with them he inserts the end of one into the hole of the other to seemingly merge their shields. But other than that, they remain separate.
>>287201592It doesn't consume Trion unless it breaks or uses Thruster, I think. Either way watching him try to lug two giant bludgeons around would be hilarious.
>the away mission
>>287188900________ ___ __ ____
>>287201911It does cost some of his trion budget just by taking up a slot, ideally Osamu would drop all the gunner triggers and go for double wires
>>287197103>Nino cucking EmaNot when a certain freckled pigeon girl is still somewhere in a neighbor world
>>287202063Scorpion can do that!
>>287195383>just follow and watch as chika and nino ride off togetheremabros...
Taichischolars how we feeling?
>>287188900https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcfqNqKayS0
Fucking Ashihara man, I swear if this was intentional...
>>287203088Easily justified by it being the closest. But Nino definitely enjoys it.
>>287188806Holy shit i'm in time for a thread.
>>287203458We also need a thread for the festival in like two or three weeks, we might get a trailer for the reboot and other goods.
>>287200426It is by definition jobbing if you fail for the purpose of demonstrating the opponent's power or ability
>>287199926Ninomiya was a high A-rank, he's seen this shit before.
>>287188923>>287188957Are the A-ranks deliberately trying to cripple them since it's early in the match and they'd have time to respawn? Meanwhile attempt opportunity kills on trickier opponents like Yuba and Teruya.
>>287203998Isn't that how attackers should fight opponents that outnumber them? It just makes sense to cripple your opponents, handicap them, make them leak trion, and quickly move to the next target.Plus Tachikawa takes sword autism lessons, which likely helps him to outfence any B-rankers.
I suspect Osamu's scheme is deeper than its immediate strategic value. The fight at the museum could be seen as a microcosm of how a conventional battle would shake out. At every step the A ranks were more prepared, their worst engagement was a draw, and they were able to inflict damage while taking none in return. The B ranks did achieve their immediate objective of retreating their ranged fighters, but at the rate they were going they would get chipped away to nothing.The B ranks have no chance of winning a normal battle. And I think Osamu is taking this opportunity to try and make a normal battle impossible.
>>287204120Definitely, he has to go guerrilla war if he wants to win. This is an asymmetrical conflict, Kodera cannot effectively command these people because he has not dipped himself into the current B-ranks (he may have been B-rank a while ago but he got promoted). Meanwhile Osamu, in his perpetual weakness is in his element. I like how Ashihara finds ways to teach that "weakness" isn't necessarily so.
>>287204332IIRC he joined the Miwa squad just as they became A-rank so he might've not seen the B-rank wars at all
>>287188859Huh, what will happen if this is combined with Ikoma's superb sword drawing technique? Discount Senkuu?
>>287188900>>287188923They work as springs now?! Grasshopperbros, what the fuck is this bullshit?
>>287189125It's over for her. I was sure it's going to be Yuiga.
>>287189125Teruya continues to get done dirty. Is she a stand in for someone in real life or something? lol >>287189300I've waited years for a Raygust GOD.
>>287189209>>287189272>>287189300FOR ALL THE FAT MEN IN THE WORLD!
>>287189643I thought traps had to be placed ahead of time? Here it looks like they can just be arbitrarily generated anywhere on a grid.
>>287189454Artillery's here, baby.
>>287190627Stop posting and get sniping, Ema.
>>287198471Neighbor triggers are funky like that
>>287204841It looks like they're branching off from one another. So maybe the first one has to be placed and more can propagate from it? That's probably why it's said to be a trion heavy role. Because I can't imagine doing that is cheap.
>>287205112Sounds like Fuujin with extra steps.
>>287202710Euphoric. Enlightened by Taichi's intelligence.
>>287204402Oh shit, that's more of a reason for him to embrace the cheese. Funny thing, I think Kodera will be the newest addition to Osamu's growing friend circle.
>>287202608>Hey Nino lets ride off into the sunset and bomb China>Gladly, the Chinese are our second worst neighbours
>>287205453Fuujin is a sniper cosplaying as a blade. If I were Arafune I'd be annoying the shit out of Jin just to have him lend me the BT for a while.
>>287189170>aaiiieeeee save me four-eyes
>>287205906but kodera is also a four-eyes
>>287196373People need to give Osamu's sweat glands a break. He's been overclocking his brain since the neighbor induced-coma.
>>287206042that just means they've got eight pairs of eyes to work with more is betterer
>>287196373Osamu sweats in about 95% of his panels
>>287206081>eight pairs of eyesDid someone say spiders?
>>287188859So the Scorpion vs Kogestu debate is actually just a competition between showers and growersBravo Ashihara
>>287206081Eight eyes? Like a spider?
>>287197103B-rank aces being A-rank level individually is nothing new. Ninomiya is the no 1 shooter, even. But as we're seeing play out, being A-rank isn't just about individual combat prowess (though it certainly helps). Much less deadweight on each squad, for starters, Yuiga notwithstanding. Having the wherewithal not to punch your superiors helps too. But I'm thinking the unique loadouts and custom triggers will make the biggest difference.That said, I'm wonder how the likes of Katagiri or Kusakabe squad would do when dropped on a random B-rank war. We know Tamakoma-1 or Tachikawa Squad could 1v3 easily, sure, but what about the relative normies?
>>287197327Waste of resources really, he's not gonna be Spidering in this environment, he can contribute tactics from base if killed, and with >2tr he probably respawns in ten minutes. I guess they could try and farm him for points, he's like third highest value in B-rank or something.
>>287197697Well, it's not like they went in for a fair fight, it was a matter of tricks and traps. And that smug bitch Inukai got away, too.
>>287192744Or the team with the spotter.
>>287204841>>287205112I'd guess it works similar to Escudo and gets increasingly expensive the farther it's sent out.
>>287188900SCORPION HATE

>>287206187>B-rank aces being A-rank level individually is nothing new. Ninomiya is the no 1 shooter, even.Ninomiya was demoted you know, I would say the average B-rank ace like Katori is not on the same level as Ninomiya

>>287188818Another moon sword.
>>287188818>>287188859I appreciate that this is actually the weirdest sword we've seen and not something too ordinary. >>287189125Kek. Feels like we only ever heard about how good chameleon was without seeing it in real time so that's nice. Half the benefit of it is distracting people/overloading them with info. >>287189433Ah, I love Touma.
>>287189783I would've just doubled down on the blitz and wipe out B team. There's no way Chika and Nino has enough trion to down 7-8 terminals and now that you know where they are, it's a lot easier to just steamroll the B ranks first.
>>287202154It look like Hatorara is grabbing Nino's ass.
>>287203624Nice, we're eating good
>>287206590>bigger trion tank means better skillIzumi is the no1 Shooter.
>>287206590>>287206187>Ninomiya is the no 1 shooterSure, if you are only counting points farming.We all know izumi is the better shooter, even Ninomiya knows it.
>>287207140Izumi is more skilled in a team setting. Nino is the better 1v1 duelist.>>287206844>There's no way Chika and Nino has enough trion to down 7-8 terminalsChika can shoot all day. The A ranks definitely can't just let them do whatever they want. That said, I agree with you about doubling down on the blitz. This response by Osamu shows just how dangerous the unknown trion soldiers can be. But right now, with the exception of the Taichidog distribution mission, the B ranks haven't had a chance to group up and share their soldiers and information about them. Each B rank squad is as ignorant about one another's capabilities as the A ranks are. So it is in the A ranks' interest to extend that window for as long as possible and do as much damage as they can while it's still open. That way by the time wacky, hard to deal with trion soldier strategies start being used the manpower disparity will be too steep to overcome.For dealing with Nino and Chika, send Kusakabe squad and half of Miwa squad (Narasaka and an escort) to intercept them.
>>287207038Why wouldn't she be? Nino's rocking that perma-clench.
>>287188900Another chapter, another Scorpion hack.
>>287192795Probably the least damaging shot he's ever taken but it still did something.
>>287188900The idea that a seasoned, straight-forward fighter decides to get silly with an ability by seeing other younger guys (Kuga, Kage) use it is super refreshing
>>287207373Good point.
>>287206844>I would've just doubled down on the blitz and wipe out B teamThat's why she blew up the museum first; to allow the B ranks the opportunity to get out of dodge.
>>287189525Stealth bomber mode
>>287189783You're thinking that but you know the A ranks have rabits and didn't think of the catapult strat
How many ibis shots can Chika do before running out of Trion?
>>287192227It is the number 1 and I don't think either opponent is even master rank.
>>287189272No one commenting on how Katori screws up Raizo's charge with wires to the leg.
>>287192404I think even black triggers are "fair" if you're simulating fighting in a neighbor's home turf. Foreign triggers should be expected.
>>287208656If all sniper triggers use an equal amount of trion then she can shoot enough to destroy all the terminals several times over based on the Reiji sniper training.
Seems like a good time for the rare starmaker to be in use again to bypass the jamming.
>>287189433We desperately need to see Yuba on one of those doggies with gun in one hand and a lasso shaped scorpion in the other.
>>287192357>>287189454why the fuck did ikoma do a backflip?
>>287209612Never let them know your next move.
Calling it now, jammers are going to win B team the entire match.
>>287208869 That’s assuming they all cost the same though. Ibis is way heavier than Egret/Lightning and Chika specifically spams Ibis because she can afford it. Even with her freak reserves, Reiji’s training numbers were in a controlled range setting, not mid-war with shields up and people shooting back.She could probably pop every terminal once without sweating, yeah. “Several times over” starts depending on how much she’s overcharging each shot and whether she’s forced to tank hits. Trion pool isn’t the only bottleneck, positioning and mental limiter are way bigger factors for her.
>>287189300My favorite thing about World Trigger is how creative the characters can be with the tools they're given, who would of thought you could even do that?
>>287210597>depending on how much she’s overcharging each shot?
>>287188859This is just Viper in sword form.
>>287206844You have to address them though or whenever they put the B team in a pinch she can just flip the board by shooting their way.
>>287204841Well, it is a bridge, makes sense for it to be trapped ahead of time. It's a major choke point.And the chaining is probably just bulk activation, instead of mashing buttons for each individual spike, she activated the chain.
>>287208869Aren't training rooms infinite trion?
>>287210677Raizo did design the thing
>>287211152I don't think the Tamakoma ones are, or you could probably turn off the setting. Reiji mentioned that she could run out of trion eventually.
>>287206451The "can of beans" phenotype
>>287195740Ibis is more effective. Nino should give a massive load to Chika.
>>287207220Izumi is more skilled but Nino is stronger because of his higher trion. Plus their positions are different, Izumi supports the ace while Nino is the ace.
>>287202710Never doubted my lateral thinking boy
>>287189525The A-ranks are already getting surprised by a single custom trion soldier. The B-ranks should have more up their sleeve too.
>>287212047The problem is that B ranks weren't allowed to prepare. They barely know what trion soldiers they have and haven't prepared any squad compositions utilizing them.They need to come up with something on the spot and it will be hard to find time to do that under relentless a ranks assault
>>287212047Not every squad has a genius like Taichi.
>>287209612...I don't think that was a controlled move
>>287208709I didn't even see the wires...

>>287212716>Chika quad-shot ibisJesus christ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTlYyxvwOJE
>>287212786Imagine this on Chika
>>287211008Mai was playing Tarkus on that keyboard
>>287206345No, he still is. Only B-rank no. 1.>>287206366Nino is a standout, but there's plenty other examples. Ko, Kage and Yuma are all better than almost all A-rank attackers, and Ikoma is up there. Also Godzuma the smurf. But all of them are aces who carry their teams. In the Doylist sense, the reason for this is probably just that melee fights are by far the most appealing part of combat, that having high-level fighters that Yuma can't just statcheck is necessary to keep the tension, and that this way the (top) B-ranks aren't felt as a letdown after spending the first act of the manga was spent with A- and S-ranks.In the Watsonian sense, the top B-ranks are already noted as being within spitting distance of A (they're even called the A-rank reserves) and Nino and Kage have the top 2 spots on lock, so there's a hard gatekeeper effect (like Amai Mask in OPM). But the takeaway is that having a top-class fighter is not enough to get a team to A-rank by itself. Hell, the entire B-rank wars arc arguably underscores that, considering that even though Yuma gets most kills, T2 didn't break past the top until Osamu figured out how to get the most out of Chika and himself *and* got a second top-class fighter on the roster.
>>287189733>>287189757>do it again bomber Chika
>>287192404>>287208719I think the more worrying thing is thay this strongly implies Tamakoma-1's custom triggers are on the table. They're all Trion guzzlers so probably saved as a trump card for later, but using them against B-ranks is just mean. Well, maybe Karasuma's Geist will actually get to do something this time.
>>287212716It's funny that Kinuta bitches about that when a ton of A-ranks customize their triggers. It's arguably one of the bigger advantages they have over the B-ranks in this fight, too.
>>287213892I was under the impression that novel modifications were a time consuming process, more so if they wanted to mass produce it. Best they can do with no turnaround time is manufacture guns that match the user's preferred specs.
>>287213749Katori is also clearly stated to be a freak of nature. She’s definitely A-level, idk what other anon was on about. Yuba, Nasu, too, are clearly at the level of A rank agents. Not every A ranker is Tachikawa.
>>287213858The only hope is that Cronin was too unfamiliar with using Border triggers in combat, so they let him have his tentacle sword to not drag the A's down.
>>287206366>if you aren't as strong as the no.1 shooter you're B-rankRIP Izumi.
>>287206047Osamu's sweat glands need to compensate for the previous arc. The lack of sweat he had during the XCOM board game was uncanny.
>>287208709Everyone was too hyped to focus on the details, like >>287209612 which I also didn't notice.

>>287212616The A-ranks used the noise from both the explosion and from the debris falling to hinder Kikuchi's side effect.
Tell me more about World Trigger and whether I should read it. The only exposure I have for this franchise was pic related.
>>287215611>Tell me more about World Trigger and whether I should read it.You know all those really shitty tropes associated with shounen manga? >Powerlevels/creep>Special Chosen MC>Cast bloat/lack of screen time for side characters Yeah none of that its there infact it had more incommon with sports manga we're teamplay and tactics override everything else. Be advised if you're the type of person who reads manga for shipping and melodrama you won't find it here in fact its sometimes hard to remember that the bulk of the cast are high-schoolers.
>>287215707>we're*where
>>287212616Kikuchihara is a kazama fanboy, he won't stop him from shining.
>>287200662Osamu is a shitter.He's way more useful as an annoying shooter rather than a pathetic attempt of an attacker.
Recently (and by that I mean between chapters) I found this youtube channel who recuts the rank wars to omit all the commentary.

>>287208709I don't consider that much of a surprise anymore. Katori learned from one of the best.
Did nobody seen those jap videos of the last couple chapters ?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D58yduTqWlU
we're going to need a chart to keep track of who bailsout
>>287210597She spams ibis because hers is uniquely able to shape the battlefield and she couldn't shoot people so that was the next best thing. And even if she can shoot people, being the only artillery around is still a huge advantage. But all of the sniper triggers dump trion in to one particular parameter. The whole reason her lead lightning works is because the shots are so absurdly fast that even when slowed down by lead bullet they're normal speed. It'd be a hitscan weapon normally. And to get the most out of her egret she'd have to account for the curvature of the Earth.I do think it's possible the different sniper triggers do have different trion costs per shot based on their rate of fire. People have spammed lighting shots like it was a gunner trigger while ibis shots are always delivered slowly one at a time. So they may have a sort of magazine where ibis only produces one shot in the same trion as lightning does like 5.
>>287211152Some of them are. That one wasn't.>>287210709He did design viper too. He basically split that trigger into scorpion and viper.>>287213892The A ranks are border's real soldiers. The B ranks are reservists and future A rank trainees. It makes sense he'd be more willing to dedicate resources to squeezing performance out of the people being sent to the neighborhood than on anyone else.
>>287188900Kogetsu could never
>>287212974That's essentially just giving Reiji's Full Arms trigger to Chika. >>287208709It's not the first time she's done it, so it's just kind of part of her skill set at this point, and doesn't automatically draw comment. I do appreciate that you can see the wire cubes while she's charging in >>287189194
>>287213749Hyuse and Yuma don't really count, they basically won all their ranking matches and got to the top of B-rank in 1 season of rank wars, their neighbourhood experience is equivalent to being A rank, meanwhile you have squads like Katori's who have been hardstuck on the ladder for a while. Azuma is an A-rank, Kageura also formerly A-rank, Ko has an OP side effect he can beat any A-ranker with enough practice. A-rank can poach an ace from the B-ranks if they really wanted to but Nino and Kage are problematic, Yuma only got scouted by Kako squad because his name was convenient. I would say there is not enough information to go on, while the weakest members of A-rank are at the level of a C or B rank the average A-ranker mogs most of B-rank.>>287214428While she has good instincts she is clearly lacking in several ways, no A-rank team would want her as she is right now, she is too lazy she is basically the opposite of Osamu in many ways
>>287215611It's a spokon disguised as battle shonen. Focus on tactical battles between competent, skilled and intelligent teams, mostly. Very unique.
>>287218954Wow that's good
>>287212289Not what I expected but kinda accurate. I've over estimate Kitora.
>>287209422>lasso shaped scorpion>It should be possible AIIIEEEEEEEE
>>287222765A scorpion mantis lasso would be really flimsy. Good for snatching heads, but not for actual lassoing. They need to develop a trigger that is just scorpion, but the attack power can also be modified inversely proportionally to the durability. So turning it totally blunt would would make it durable enough for you to stretch it out pretty far for utility purposes. And making it so flimsy that it can only be as big as a punch dagger would make it hit harder, possibly busting shields.
>>287219157Some nip probably is working on it already.
>>287223845Pretty easy chart right now. It's just Teruya.
>>287223535For a lasso you would just need to make it out of the same stuff as raygust shield mode, though maybe a little lighter.
>>287224049Just saying it will get bigger later on
>>287223535Specializing it on just being a lasso (really, a multi-purpose grappling tentacle) would probably be better. Programs like letting it modify power/durability on the fly cost trion (Gunners get the "refund" converted to 20% more range than Shooters IIRC) and reaction time so if you lock it to just inversely proportional length/durability you could save resources.
The real question is, when is Yuba finally getting his cowboy hat?
>>287225389>Programs like letting it modify power/durability on the fly cost trionTrue. It would be weaker, either in power or durability, than an identically shaped scorpion. But a scorpion shaped kogetsu would be weaker than the real thing and scorpion is still overpowered. Being able to more finely optimize it would probably make it stronger in practice since it would mean being able to put trion towards precisely what you need at any given time. It would definitely be harder to use, though. It might be the sort of thing you'd see in a Tamakoma trigger.
>>287225853That feels like it's going back in the direction of Fengari so yeah.
>>287189125Nooooooo my waifu>>287189300So this is the power of the raygust...
>>287225502When he rides his own trion soldier.
Any news on the anime?
>>287227364Not yet
>>287227364In three weeks maybe if they tease it during WTfes
>>287212716Couldn't you technically use senku to stab too?
>>287227364I can't wait for Ema and Azuma to countersnipe enemy A-Ranks targeting Ninomiya and Chika. Would be very Osamu/Chika-ish, for Chika to volunteer for dangerous assignments and Osamu to use the "VIP" squad members as bait so the less important members can clean up. Not that Ninomiya's squad is anything but VIPs except Ema.
Can't wait to see le running sniper man. Also have we even seen what kako's weird bubble shots do yet? We've seen them before but not actually being used I don't think?
>>287188806>Missed World Trigger dayWild, they can release on this day of the week?
>>287189194>Mikumo! Do the thing!
>>287217311Cool share, thanks anon
Here's a question. Would you even want an anime for the next organizational psychology arc?I know there's probably a few autism anons here like me who appreciate space brothers but I don't think it would get much traction.
>>287231198I want it.
>>287231198You mean homework arc? Yes definitely. Jackson's mental breakdown would be especially entertaining animated.
>>287231360
>>287231360I hope the season 1 remake gets more anime only newfriends for the theoretical season 4 so I can see some fresh reactions to the Jackson murder episode
>>287231436The problem with a remake from beginning is that the opening arc is so bland and generic. It's a shame the intro takes so long to ramp up until something interesting.
Everyone in this always looks so stiff..
>>287231423Jackson, and half of the thread, getting specifically targeted by a kill sat was fun, but the jokes kind of belie that Hyuse then immediately built him back up, letting him achieve a measure of enlightenment that had been eluding him.Honestly, it's a really good sequence. Anons talk a lot about this or that piece of manga inspiring them, but it's rare to see just flat out, genuinely good, practical, psychological advice like this. Determination in following it through is key, of course, but it's easy to get lost in the weeds of a problem and forget that you CAN improve a small bit at a time.
>>287231456The adaption itself being better will help at least. Maybe I won't have to give the addendum of "maybe you'll want to read the manga until xx chapter" when I try to recommend it to people.
>>287215611its fun to watch (skip the filler arc tho), its fun to read till the homework arc (but we're past that now) and its fun to imagine scenarios like could Hyuse with his Aftokrator loadout beat Tachikawa
>>287189757Wasn't Tokieda left handed? He's handling his rifle the other way.
Sooner or later Kodera's gonna add into the mix orders of someone other than Mikumo: either to design a small but meaningful plan (like moving the squads in a crafty angle for example), throw off Arashiyama's intuition or just both. That's what I want to believe, and of course, too many cooks can botch this game.Dibs on Watergod, broccoli's gotta apply his shogi wits in one or another way.
>>287200462this. kodera specifically stated he predicted that ashihara considers him predictable, so he is intentionally deferring the decision.
>>287232073Oji also really needs an opportunity to dispel the fraud allegations.
>>287232634I'm betting one of the ways this happens is with some really clever trion soldier. Probably not Taichi levels of impact, though.
>>287189643Ema bros? Jiji and now this shit???
>>287189783He is not even fazed, like he was expecting an Osamu tactic.
>>287189952>>287190214Drawing their eyesight like this makes me think it's a setup for the B-rank snipers. They're mentioned as being in position and we just got a scene of how bad visual/radar confusion can be for someone on the defensive. Putting the A-ranks on the back foot with a distraction that can't be ignored even when it's this obvious is setting up for a wall snipe.
>>287212047B rankers had like 4 days to tinker with them.
>>287189783My guess is the A-rank will use Rabbit to throw Miwa and some supports to stall Nino and Chika while the rest keeps fighting. Miwa's lead bullet is counter to those with high trion because it ignores shield
>>287233084What if it's to sneak someone else across the river? While everyone is paying attention to Chika someone else could slip across unnoticed with the dog's jamming. I don't think it could be anyone stuck in the museum, which would rule out a lot of the really useful options; Katori would have been a good pick I think. But Kage is over there. Maybe him and a sniper? Drop the bagwormed sniper off before doing mantis cavalry charges at terminals. When someone comes to intercept thinking it's just him the sniper can ambush them.>>287233369Arashiyama should make sure to tell Miwa that this Chika thing is clearly Osamu's plan. It'd get him all fired up, both because he doesn't like Osamu in general and because he'd take it as him overruling his kouhai.
>>287225062bets on first A rank team jobber?
>>287233798Either someone we've never seen before, or a big name like a tamakoma member.
>>287233798Raizo sniped by Azuma. He's rusty, he's a big target, and Raygust is worse at defending against snipers than regular shields since it can't be deployed quickly at odd angles. He's also already gotten to do a cool thing and isn't a character that's likely going to be super important later on, so him not getting any more screentime for a while isn't a big deal. Sniped by Azuma specifically so that he doesn't look like a fraud.
Rank them.https://tiermaker.com/create/world-trigger-standard-border-triggers-16897278
>>287234303I thought Raizo actually does spar. The fat is from overeating in a trion body not being a bum.
>>287232634Oji has fraud allegations? He was easily the most impressive fighter in his match against Iko and T1, he both outmaneuvered and beat the brakes off Osamu.
>>287235133scorpion>the rest
>>287189643>not showing Chika's arms clinging onto Nino's waistMissed opportunity, Ashihara
>>287236473She should have put her hands in his pockets for him.
>>287236614he can' be a dork with both tachikawa and kako around
Thread needs more Ikoma
>>287221454Yeah, that's my point. There's several unique circumstances, but the takeaway is that practically every upper (and most middle) B-rank squads' aces are easily on par with most A-ranks. You have to get to like, Suwa squad to find one that doesn't. Leaving Yuma and Hyuse aside, since they're smurfing Black Triggers that promote in their first season, and even discounting former A-ranks Nino, Kage and Godzuma, you still got Ikoma, Oji, Nasu, Yuba, Ko, Arafune and Katori. The takeaway is that it's not like every A-rank agent is superior to every B-ranker, but the teams themselves are what matter, you don't promote individually after all. With that into account, it shouldn't be a suprise that most B-rank aces can go toe-to-toe with most A-rankers.
>15 y.o is an adult in AftokratorImagine
>>287236103His whole squad was handpicked to perform well in the combat stage of the test. If he doesn't put out results here, that's going to look really bad for him.
>>287231198I think the battle sims could be fun to watch animated. Plus the VA cast in World Trigger is just so good, just to hear the characters speaking with each other would make the anime worth making.
>>287231423Kek
>>287231505Just like the author's neck
>>287232073This made think...Why is there no communications jamming Trigger out there? Imagine if all the scattered squads couldn't talk with each other, it could cause some quite fun to watch chaos, though realistically it would affect the B squads a lot more.
>>287237087Explains why Osamu looks so MANLY these days, he's just Neighborhood Adult now.>HanzakiHmm, I get the feeling that he's gonna survive the entire battle to show off his energy-conserving nature.
>>287218954cool chapter recap
Is this love?
Time to start praying.
Jackson will be MVP
Never forget
>>287242120Chair my beloved
>>287236103NTA but Oji's temp squad wasn't one of the brightest teams during the excel phase. IIRC they placed below average in the rankings.
>>287237436Platonic, probably, but there. She's textbook tsundere.
>>287242120>that trion soldier with its guts exposedyuma showing off his child soldier experience
So ive heard this mango has strategical fights. Is it true? Because if so then im reading it.
>>287242842There's a big emphasis on tactics, skill and cooperation between team members. There's (mostly) no haki or power level stuff to speak of.
and so we pray
>>287243513Amen.
>>287242120>XCOM Hidden Movement SFX
>>287242191They ended up in last place. And they had a reverse Mizukami going on where Oji had a good individual score but the rest of his squad had bad ones.
>>287242191Oji built his squad with that expectation, he didn't give a fuck.
>>287188859It looks like fuujin
>>287237087>follow Ashihara on twitter to boost his recovery rate
>>287188900I give up. I do not know how may ways one can use Scorpion
>>287189125What an honor, genuinely
