The Away Mission Test: Part 46

Cheers to that anon who calmly called it.

That's my boy

Tsundere ACE

>>280205234
WE DID IT WE SURVIVED BOAT PHASE ONE

>>280205099
Aha, knew it.

>>280205256
AFTER FOUR(?) LONG YEARS THE HOMEWORK IS FINISHED

>>280205211
She's the perfect tsundere wife.

>>280205099
Absolute madman.

>>280205121
I forgot the details of who wanted bonus pay or to join tho.

Katoribros our stocks are going through the roof

>4 and a half years to get through Phase 1

We are making it the real boat. I believe.

>>280205339
>Jackson made it to 5th place
>My Dark Horse Oji is in fucking last

Surely Oji foresaw the rules of Phase 2 and this is a gambit right?

>>280205339
>The funhouse in last
Please be in the combat phase

>>280205339
>Oji's last
expected, he would be the only one fine with being last, and without all the melodrama of being a bad leader.

>>280205307
Suwa-sama is the best.

>>280205386
>Surely Oji foresaw the rules of Phase 2 and this is a gambit right?
As I recall, Oji is one of the teams that should be best built for this squad. Bunch of fairly quick melee fighters, like Utagawa's squad.

>>280205182
>>280205211
Miracle of the universe

>>280205435
I mixed my words up kinda hard. One of the best squads for this phase.

>>280205390
It's weird for a dumb high school dropout like Suwa to act like he knew what a teacher's pet/honor student like Kodera is thinking.

>>280205234
it's been 84 years

>>280205277
Suwa the best, just the best.
man this team is amazing

The Away Mission Test: Part 47

>>280205594
Here we go phase 2 time.

>>280205594
it's been so long i completely forgot what's supposed to happen now
is phase 2 the last?

>>280205099
it was obvious since we know he is a flow enjoyer

WE DID IT BOYS, WE SURVIVED THE HOMEWORK ARC

>>280205211
Katori a CUTE

>>280205672
Izumi shouldn't be worth the same as that waste of space.

>>280205672
>Yuiga and Izumi considered the same amount of points

>>280205694
>let's give him all the points!
>this happens
lol lmao even

>>280205616
Called the fuck out

>>280205744
A-Rank evaluations, not captain evaluations

>>280205694
I don't want to know how much Hyuse is worth. We might be heading for gangbang territory again.

>>280205694
I like this point addition because it completely defeats my tactic of sending the trionlets forward for kills since their respawn timer is low. Osamu was in the Top-5 for A-Rank evaluation (along with Suwa) so he'll have to play it very safe in order to not completely fuck everything up.
Hoping we get a Commander Mikumo who is just giving out orders through the Operators and not actually trying to fight.

>>280205211
Awwww. Acting tsun is like an obligation to her at this point

>>280205778
Didn't Teruya get given a fuck ton of points by the A-rankers? She's going to have a huge target on her head.

>>280205709
>Just get Chika to shoot them lol
>>280205741
>Oh shit
Ashihara keeps doing this to me

>>280205741
>Melee hits can equal 8 Ibis shots from Chika
Crazy comparison. I need details. How many Kogetsu hits are needed to take down a terminal? Do scrub attackers need more hits?

>>280205339
sorry how the fuck did waka squad slingshot into 5th? were those trion engineering questions worth that much?

>>280205694
>Katori is worth 13 points
she will go on a killingspree because its more time efficient to just ignore her LMAO

>>280205741
Having Chika snipe them still seems like a viable tactic even if they're that strong. She can do 8 shots in relative safety.

>>280205652
Yes, phase two is the last phase of the test.

>>280205860
this is silly, there are already female agents
why ARE all the operators female anyway? it never made any sense

>>280205860
Kunichika my beloved, it's been so long...

>>280205741
>Using Amatori Iblis shots as a measuring stick
Lol, lmao even.
>>280205694
Hard to track how much points everyone is worth thus far right now though, we'd have to review and add that up. But I think Ashihara will let us know the values as they become relevant.
>>280205822
I think it's just that melee in general cuts through shields easier like a "piercing" property as opposed to the amount of "damage" they deal.
>>280205868
The devious 9th shot...

>>280205879
thanks, hoping this won't last as long in real time

>>280205868
>relative safety
Snipers are trained to move after every shot, sitting there and blasting 8 times is asking to die. Touma alone would probably be enough to kill her

>>280205083 (OP)
>The Away Mission Test: Part 46
>46
Holy fucking shit, I dropped it after the test started and it still continues.
We could have been neighbourhood jumping all this time!

>>280205860
So the operators can act like lead bullets and just grab people?

>>280205834
Probably, yeah. Most squads would be need spend time reading the manuals to even understand the question let alone answer it, but Hyuse can answer them mostly instantly.

>>280205838
Send Katori out with the lowest cost operator and Urushima. Perfect scout/bait/ambush team.

>>280205887
Oki doesn't like shooting girls, its his thing. Meanwhile Osamu really loves sexually harassing girls with his buckshot, just ask Nasu about it.

>>280205887
In and out of universe might have different explanations. In-universe, it might be that women tend to be better at multitasking (aka parallel processing), and they tend to have less of a stomach for or interest in combat. I believe there is one male operator somewhere. Out of universe, it's an excuse to have a larger female cast when battle shonen tend to be more male-focused. Hard to say if Ashihara was particularly against having more female combatants, or if he or an editor felt that too many of them wouldn't fit, for one reason or another.

>>280205694
Captains should also know the A-rank points, right? They got breakdowns every night on that.

>>280205974
What horrors will Taichi create this time?

>>280205887
Self-selection. The guys who join want to be fighters, trigger engineers, or quit.

>>280205989
I get why women would be more likely to be operators than fighters but it's so weird that literally all of the operators are women, you'd think there would at least be a few guys to make it believable
>I believe there is one male operator somewhere.
this would help but I can't remember it being a thing

>>280205949
yeah, Kator+ Urushima is a murdercluster, waste time get nothing, potentially lose an A ranker or two making it extremely nor worth. Dirty cheap proxy rapists. Best part is they can keep dying and re-spawning without any issues, Katori gets 10 deaths for 1 kill and she is point efficient. Unbalanced as fuck lmao.

>>280205838
This post just made me realize why the points are determined by A-rank evaluation. It's a built in natural balancer, where the people more prized will be put under extra pressure to see if they meet expectations, while those with lower scores won't be prioritized and thus have more wiggle room to show off their potential

>>280205918
Chapter 252 had a list of everyones current rankings at the end of Day 6 so safe to say that is what they'll go with.
Top 10:
Suwa: 156
Kodera: 150
Kuruma: 143
Utagawa: 128
Kon: 128
Kitora: 123
Arafune: 122
Osamu: 121
Somei: 118
Hyuse: 116

Yuma is at 113, Chika is at 62 and Katori has 13.

>>280206038
Galopola's operator is a bloke. There are no Border male operators.

>>280205860
Maybe it's because Neighbors don't tend have bail-out in their triggers? So even if you destroy an Operator's body, it doesn't matter if the comms are still active.

And if you prioritize destroying comms, it actually accomplishes the objective of depriving the enemy team of communicating with itself.

...Or maybe they don't want to encourage the habit of hitting noncombatants in general? It's not like the combatants object to fighting female combatants.

Ooh, or maybe there's some sort of exotic Operator-only Neighbor trigger that does in fact grant intangibility for everything except the comms. Neighbor triggers are more specialized, after all. It'd make sense for a dedicated ops trigger to work like that.

>>280206035
>operators can equip triggers
We know Kusakabe squad's captain/operator used to be an agent and is still supposedly pretty strong, but any other operators that might fight?

>>280206060

>>280206088
>>280206151
I wonder if since he's slotting into Kazama's team he'll be an attacker like them or if he'll change his dynamic

>>280205694

>>280206169
wait a second that means we still don't get to see Amo

Rindo is subbing for Kodera but he's probably not a sniper, so can't say for sure if they're direct role replacements.

Ashihara's likely borrowing a cliche from sports manga. Which tend to have a girl working as the team manager. Makes for a good excuse to have one chick around for what would otherwise be a sausage fest.

>>280205860
>>280205974
I love how much of the stuff from Phase 1 is carrying over into this portion. It's making all the time spent agonizing over the points actually mean something, and by now we're already good and comfortable with a lot of the little twists in this section from having them introduced across the first phase.

>>280206267
Yeah who's on duty if an invasion occurs? I guess it's just him, Nasu, and the automated turrets

>>280206307
Jin and Shinoda

>>280206124
WE ARE FINALLY SEEING RINDOU IN ACTION
FUCK YES

>>280206267
>>280206307
Jin, Amo & Shinoda should be on defense duty. More than enough if you ask me

>>280206066
Thanks a million for pointing this out. Even if things changed at all since then, it won't be by much.
>>280206089
This actually makes a lot of sense. I knew there was a reason, putting to words was tough though.

I ordered a few (mostly SFW) WT doujinshi that include Katori. Haven't received them yet, and I might not have the energy to scan them in by next thread, but look forward to it. Can't translate them myself though. Pic related being one I've been interested in for a while.

>>280206307
Low B-rank squads and unranked B-rank individuals still handle defense missions. I think a schedule in the background in a previous away mission chapter also mentioned C-ranks as taking part, but not sure how that would work.

>>280206189
>Miwa's so surprised his mouth almost formed a smile

>>280206396
Post them for next chapter in one-two months, I can translate them if I'm available.

>>280206307
If an invasion were to happen then Jin would predict it, just like he did with Afto and Galopoula

Well we'll see if anon keeps his promise and does a World Trigger storytime now that phase one is finished

>>280206248
The fat fuck in question STARTED out as an Attacker before switching to engineer.

>>280206248
We already knew that the engineer guy used to be an attacker with Raygust from some volume extras iirc

>>280206307
The lower third of B-rank wasn't good enough to invite to the test, but are likely adequate for taking out stray trion soldiers on normal defense missions.

>>280206475
If I remember correctly he put on the pounds after becoming an engineer and using his trion body to binge snacks.

>>280205616
Considering that they will still be judged per-squad and per-individual, I wonder how that'll affect things. Like, the obvious end goal is "your side wins", but they still need to make sure that they themselves stand out. They're allies, but not really allies.

Reminder

>>280205940
wait whats that small flying trion soldier?

>>280206495
He was an attacker who became an engineer and made the raygust because he was dissatisfied with the available melee options.

>>280206248
Cronin was the last soldier protecting the two royals & mother trigger on their way from their besieged planet, he also had fancy clothes meaning he was high ranked and was entrusted with this mission rather than just some random soldier who was around for it.
I really wonder how good of a fighter he is now.

>>280206124
OH SHIT

>>280205694
>>280205793
>freely selecting any remaining terminal
>no mention on any penalty on friendly kill for fast respawn
Either an oversight or batshit strategies waiting to be exploited.
I'm all but certain Mikumo will ask his teammates to kill him minutes into the combat.

>>280206495
Not just "with Raygust", he switched to an engineer specifically to create it because he fucking hated fighting against shooters/gunners.

>>280206452
Oh fuck I forgot about that. I think if we start this Friday or Saturday and do a volume a day, we'll be caught up to the latest chapters in time for the newest one. What would be a good dump time, same as the usual chapter drop?

>>280205694

>>280206648

Osamu is worth 121 points.
Katori is worth a whopping 13.
Unlimited Katori works is the plan. Literally drown them in Katori bodies. 1 kill for 10 deaths and its still worth

>>280205694
wait..does this mean that mofo has a 450 point target on his back?!

Points are for defeating members of the OPPOSING team, not for when members of the same team kiling each other.

>>280205099
Suwa my beloved

>>280206790
it begs to reason that no matter what was the cause of death the points for it are awarded to the enemy team

>>280206648
I've been waiting years for Osamu's 2-3 hour respawn time to be exploited.

>>280206088
>>280206124
But are they still worth just 100 points

Are we finally gonna get some action
after all these years

>>280205793
>>280205860
>respawn back in the ship
>operators are out in the field
How do you guys think this will work? In rank wars, bailouts usually huddle around the operator and their PC after they bail out so that they can still help out. But in this phase, the operator wouldn't be there. Do they just sit without any knowledge of what's going on except maybe comms, or there will be some kind of live feed for them to follow.

>>280206870
They should be able to text with their phones at least, but they'll probably be in the dark otherwise

>>280205182
>>280205211
Katori is Best Girl and four-eyes canon wife

>>280206868
>inb4 new volume break or neck break

>>280206868
I just want them to actually get to space. I should feel hype for this fight but I just don't.

>>280206857
he's worth too many points...

>>280206857
Sounds like spawnkilling Mikumo is the strat

>>280206978
That depends on whether or not death by friendly fire gives the opposing team points.

>>280205694
Katori just became an SSS+++ tier unit. The best part is that she is a competent combatant on top of being a literal fodder unit, pretty much guaranteed to become the MVP no matter what. Man Ashihara has planned this all out really well and now its time for the Reeetard to shine. I'm hyped.

>>280206847
It is not so when they clearly stated exactly on how to score points, and make an the example of that without leaving any uncertainty.

>>280205940
Just having 2 rabbits on each squad feels like overkill. Aside from the Chika and T-1, most squads had trouble taking down a single 1. Though maybe they've been training against it in the simulator since then.

>>280206088
>>280206124
Were the years of Excel Wars worth this?

>>280207031
Yes? Yes.

>>280207020
well we will just have to wait and see

>>280207026
I think the squads can handle a rabbit now that they know its gimmick. The custom rabbits modeled from horn triggers and black triggers were the ones that really wrecked their shit.

>>280206654
I get the feeling dump time won't matter too much the previous storytime didn't get that many readers.

>>280207096
I remember following two different WT storytimes in the past, and the second one was way faster than the first one.

>>280207026
They didn't had intel on the rabbits back then and it took them by surprise, that's why so many squads had trouble with them, just some cordination should do the trick most squads while people like Ninomiya, Chika or Ikoma can just bruteforce through their defenses.

>>280207153
I cannot remember where the previous storytime ended

>>280205793
I tried, way too cute.

>>280207258
I think it was WE WIN

>>280207346
You're absolutely right i just found it in the archive has it really been five years?

>>280205997
>12.5k trion limit for Osamu
well well well
>10k for Taichi
>11.6k for Hyuse
>11.4k for Kuga
so this is why they are adding Rindo & two engineers to the mix. Trion mounts from Taichi are all but guaranteed, but now I wonder what will others come up with. This is a long term battle so support soldiers could easily play a major role and they are not worth any points, making them easily the next best thing after Katori for the main assault force for the base pylons. Though it doesn't seem like they can respawn, so they are still significantly worse.

>>280207258
End of the Rank Wars. Don't think it covered the Katori squad fight though.

How much trion a normal agent lose when their trion body is destroyed?
How much time does it take to restore that trion?
Depending on the answer, Katori zerg rush may be a viable option.

>>280207396
Yup chapter 196 so we never got to see Katori using wires

>Forcing kids to work from 1 to 36 hours max
Literal slavery

>>280205099
500 points to Gryffindor

>>280205929
not when you have Ninomiya oniichan to protect you with focused shield

>>280207446
Dunno about the others but we've known for years that Osamu's time is short.

>>280207471
they are literal child soldiers working for a shady PMC. the fuck you expected?

>>280205838
kino

>>280205860
What if they just hide the laptops and make operators as bait?

>>280207525
So if you kill Chika she might as well be out for the entire thing?

>>280207471
Shouldn't have signed the form

>>280206346
How high was Tachikawa's attack again

>>280206169
We are out of the fucking ship, can't believe it.

>>280207560
Assuming it scales linearly and it takes an hour to regenerate one point of trion, Chika and her 38 trion are on permadeath mode.

>>280206122
Watch Mikumo come up with an insane strat that uses both him and Suwa as bait and only works once during the entire test.

>>280206248
>who ihis old sparring buddy
he was?

>>280206169

Suwa has a thing for dead pan assholes.

>>280207031
You make it sound like boat simulation arc was bad.

>>280206124
I didn't expect this much hype for the combat phase desu. This is going to be insane and I hope we're not waiting too many decades for the anime.

>>280207696
Right, thanks.
Thought 10 was the maximum.

>>280205099
Thank you /a/ for shitposting this page into existence

>>280206124
Mikumo vs Kido when
Or rather
Mikumo-Kido team up

>>280207612
It's not supposed to be fair. Think of them as Afto Black Trigger users, they have more than 4 IIRC.

>>280206346
is he an all rounder?

>>280205709
This is a fucking videogame. I don't know how exciting would it be to read but seems like a fun vidya.

>>280206061
yup, in this case it will also bite a lot of people in the butt because our little retard ball of seething fury can slice & dice her way through pretty much anyone in the right conditions and even taking her out doesn't recoup the costs to do so, meaning that unless she is a complete free kill they are actively loosing points by engaging with her at all. Its not going to be pretty.
At the same time Four eyes is boned. 121 on his free point ass is going to be miserable as it means even suicide bombing and going 1 for 1 is worth it for the A-ranks.

>>280207658
I can see the Chika hunting tactic.
6 Ibis shot against a static target doesn't seem very hard, you just need to protect her while she gets easy 500 points so eliminating her forever looks like a nice strategy.
There is no shield that can realistically stop Chika. Chika huge amount of trion means that she can last the full 36 hours without straining herself too much unlike normal people.

>>280207811
Can't wait for World Trigger official video game.
On Switch 2

>>280207696
>Sawamura >>280206579 has more range than Tachikawa and equal to Shinoda's despite being an attacked
Does that mean she can do the special Senku shit Shinoda was doing against Enedora?

>>280207836
I still wish she would just nuke the battlefield.

>>280207811
>Rank wars was basically a fancy video game
>Had a literal video game on the boat
Probably a fun read

What's the stitch on sharing Trion again?
Turn Chika into a mobile battery.

>>280207702
Quite literally the situation. Since its all about points it doesn't make any sense to try to deal with Katori unless its completely risk free or you are getting more points from other sources, because as is, any encounter with her is a point drain, she can 1 for 1 with anyone and win every time.

>>280207819
>taking the four-eye'd bait
Thats just what Suwa wants.

>>280207908
Too much sharing jams your trigger so it should only be a last resort move.

>>280207554
You capture and tie the operators up. Then use them as reverse bait.

>>280206088
Interesting uniforms

>>280207908
Gives you trion AIDS so you can't really use it reliably

>>280207926
>Suwa
MIkumo, he's the first one to use himself as bait for a strategy-

>>280207633
I've always been interested in the Operator/Captain thing and why it's not common.

>>280207836
I think this phase we are going to see Chika use Lightning or Egret to their actual strengths of fast shots/kills without being overly obvious like an Ibis shot. Since she can bagworm basically the entire match, I could see her roaming with a stealth squad like Katori/Urushima and supporting them.

>>280207736
Suwa doesn't like her. She likes him.

>>280207914
These are A rankers and Katori is sometimes too trigger happy to think things through.

>>280207928
>>280207939
Is this like a trigger or trion associated problem? Can this be solved via engineering a more efficient trigger?

>>280206104
Aside from Shiki most operators are trionlets

>>280207878
She is already over her reluctance of shooting live bullet to humanoid targets, she should just nuke the field. She is only worth 62 points anyways, being a massive lighthouse for the short moment in which she takes down a few a ranker is totally worth it.

>>280207926
In this case it doesn't matter if a-ranker dies as the point cost of taking out Osamu makes up for it. Using him as bait is reasonable but also obvious.

Can you stuff terminals with lead to destroy them?

>>280207988
if she kills 1 for 10 deaths she broke even, if she kills 1 per 5 she made bank. They need to kill 10 Katoris without loosing a single unit or getting injured to make it worth it.

>>280207865
Oh shit, she probably can do the super senku kogetsu.

>>280207996
Trigger associated, according to Replica. It's the only time it happened in the series so getting it to work as a viable strat would take resources

>>280207955
whomst've?

>>280208059
Depends on how the lead interacts with the terminal. It will bypass the shield, but if it doesn't interfere with the hardware and just sits there then you just gave the terminal some lead armor

>>280208109
Well, you're putting like 30 trion in a shitty trigger that handles 4 at most, if you widespread it across the full team it could be fine.

>>280208126
It's Ashihara's piece for the Rurouni Kenshin anniversary.

Everyone mean to Mario

>>280208204
On the other hand, nobody expected that there could be someone with 30+ trion.

>>280208205
>Rurouni Kenshin
That's one of those series where I'm always surprised when I remember it's still ongoing.

>>280208271
They both started running and ended up running in the same magazine, even!

>>280206868
2 year hiatus soon

>>280208085
to elaborate the best tactic Katori could employ would be an ambush/rapid assault with Nino/snipers cover fire and to aim not for the kills but for as many slashes as she could. Since its a 36 hour long fiesta any trion leak = death. Meaning she doesn't even need to go for kills. They are risking 13 points, any trion leak bailouts in 2-4 hours will still count to their total score. Even pulling it off once is worth major points.

>>280207914
It still takes her out of the situation for a few hours, letting them hunt others.

>>280205234
I am in disbelief that there wasn't three chapters of reactions to all of the captain's evaluations. Is Ashihara working with a new editor or something?

>>280205339
W-what happened to Oji being a dark horse and making a comeback?

>>280208425
He has Ikoma and Yuba, he'll make a come back soon™

>>280208343
Unless it's a big wound, trion leaks seal themselves shut after a bit of bleeding.

>>280208343
You'll still want to try to kill quick, because it's not about reducing the other side to zero combatants, but racking up points

>>280208425
Ikoma will cut the pillar that takes them over 5000 points trust the plan.

>>280208388
Katori is in the unique position where she should be on the offensive at all times. The risk is minimal, the rewards are massive. She slashes 2 people in the ankles = +200 points in 3 hours -13 for her own death and just like that she already made half the terminal worth, add cover fire to the mix and a few more injured while they are putting her down and its even more. Repeat this 3-4 times and she brings 2 terminals worth of points by her lonesome + some sniper time.
Katori is basically custom built for this exact purpose. I genuinely expect A-ranks to become paranoid of her down the line.

I wonder if you can make a trion soldier can opener? A small immobile one that when you reach a terminal can shatter the megashield with jacked up attack+attack speed.

>>280206648
>>no mention on any penalty on friendly kill for fast respawn
>Osamu "Hannibal Protocol Scrub" Mikumo
Oh god. Think of all the war crimes when he gets put in charge.

>>280208393
He have always said he doesn't give a shit and points are all made up.

>>280208499
He takes food debt very seriously.

Why is she reacting like that.

>>280208445
he doesn't have Yuba, only Tuji.

>>280208388
Maybe more. How much trion Katori has?
8, 9?

>>280206346
A 65 total is ridiculous.

so is this manga about competitive sports

>>280206124
Yeah the B-ranks are fucked.

It's Katori, she throws bitch fits. It scored her a date with Karasuma though.

>>280208715
She's embarrassed that what Kinuta said applies to her despite being high up in the command chain.

>>280208886
it is what it is

I fail to see how Konami and Tachikawa don't blow everyone up.

>>280208715
I can't wait for Shiki to ghost the A-rankers.

>>280208823
>so low
my guy she was in the negative points for a good chunk of the test. if anything she climbed up. otherwise just imagine, killing Katori would literally lose them points. lmao

>>280205099
I fucking love Suwa.

>>280206035
Alright, which trigger is Osamu swapping in to surprise everyone?

>>280209006
DOUBLE RAYGUST NO BULLETS

>>280209006
i think it'll first depend on whether spider wires stay on the map between respawns

Surely they are nerfing T1
What stops Karasuma from just going Geist, blowing away everyone and bailing out without giving anyone points and repeating till the thing ends?

>>280208577
She has 6

>>280208823
Naturally so she could shine in the combat phase by doing what she does best - all out attacking without any reservations.

>>280209029
Wasn't it established that it does? That's how they kek'd Katori at the end of the match.

>>280209062
They can't bail out
Unless they do the thing that other anon mentioned and a teammate lops his head off

>>280209006
FULL ARMS

Ashihara needs to be like Mikumo and cheese most of the artwork with an AI fed on his entire series' drawing style to deliver this next phase. I worry for his neck carrying all that hype.

>>280209029
we know that they stay after the agent who placed them bails out

Starmaker might actually be mildly useful in this. I don't have full faith in it, as it is absolutely terrible, but maybe there's a chance.

>>280209171
Oh that would be amazing if it works after somebody revives

>>280208527
Every melee fighter agent is that.

>>280209144
Shut the fuck up Sandro

>>280208939
Everyone else runs away.

>>280209029
The map looks way too open fieldy for Spider to work properly anyway.

Can you make a trion soldier that looks exactly like the operator's laptop to bait people?

>>280208939
GODzuma will snipe them.

>>280209140
>every 2 hours Osamu nukes a terminal in one second before running out of trion
A bold strategy.

AAAAAAAA WE FUCKING MADE IT!!!!!

>>280209115
I'm pretty sure it'll force you out if you run out of trion, you just can't activate bail out before that.

>>280208823
It was her time of the month.

>>280208791
There's our Kamikaze squad members. And Jackson. Jackson can use bagworm and sit in a trion soldier like it's a trojan horse.

>>280209006
Unironically, he might try dual Raygust after seeing how successful it was in the sims, especially since Suwa will probably let him know that he pulled in a lot of A-rank points and he'll know that he's gonna be a target. That would also add the opportunity to interact against the other dual Raygust fighter and Raido the Raygust creator.

>>280209301
>Applicants have Godzuma
>A-Rankers have Touma

I wonder if Reiji will be a frontliner or actually show off his Sniping skills.

Holy shit, what a chapter. I think the rules for phase two are really well designed and will make for entertaining combat.

>>280206169
Any specific matchups you guys are excited for?
Konami VS Hyuse?
Miwa VS Osamu?
Something else entirely?

>>280209346
Put him in a Hyuse bomber and air drop him.

>>280209378
I want to impregnate Kitora.

>>280209171
What's a starmaker

>>280209513
Osamu vs Karasuma.

>>280209297
Maybe, but I'd go for a trion soldier laptop cover with maxed armor and a shield.

>>280209518
We know, Mikumo

>>280208527
Maybe fast dogs with a Kogetsu nose. Find a terminal with no gunner/shooter and spam them.

>>280209513
Osamu vs Karasuma/Yuiga
Reiji vs Chika
Suwa vs Kazama/Raido/Kusakabe
Kage vs Tachikawa
Kakizaki vs Arashiyama
Anyone vs Jin

>>280209346
I can't wait for Mikumo to evolve from a field effect to a fucking bomb

>>280205741
Hear me out, Chika with scorpion to burrow underground and assassinate terminals.

>>280209645
Thats fucking cheating!

>>280209513

You're thinking too small. Suicide bombers equipped with Raygusts but they ALL look like Mikumo!

>Suwa 20
>Ui 15

I'm pretty sure this is pure genuine weapons grade moe, I haven't seen this shit in decades. She needs to swap teams asap and murder at least 4 Tachikawas during the combat phase so the top brass is forced to put her on the away team. it would be a massive waste otherwise.

>>280209669
She's kitora, but better for Osamu.
>bitchy tsundere wife who berates you for your low salary but melts in bed

>>280209645
Poor A-rankers will never hear it coming

>>280209716
>bitchy tsundere wife who berates you for your low salary but melts in bed
That's just Kitora though.

There's no friendly fire penalties is there? Can't they just defend Chika with a few raygust defenders while she bombards entire areas with her meteors?

I really can't wait for Kitora to find out that Mikumo pimped out Karasuma.

>>280206648
>oversight
We've had Azuma shoot Koarai to prevent him from being captured in the Aftokrator invasion, so I bet there not being a penalty is 100% on purpose.

>>280208791
>Jackson is the only worthless guy

>>280209776
But Katori is funnier

If A-rank get Ilgars won't they just drop them onto the terminals?

>>280209811
I'd be surprised if she didn't know by now.

>>280209579
Go to bed already Taichi, the next phase starts early tomorrow.

>>280209877
>needed 2 or 3 ilgars to break border walls
>chika only needed one shot
>terminal shields can take 8 shots
Might as well just send Tachikawa than wasting all those points on dozens of Ilgars.

>>280209645
Have Chika place Escudos to cover all the terminals.

>>280209877
If it can stand Chika's nuke shots then surely it can stands some Illgars right?

>>280209952
>>needed 2 or 3 ilgars to break border walls
>>chika only needed one shot
Kinuta said he strengthened the defenses after Chika broke up the walls the first time

>>280208791
Katori is the main workhorse and its not close.
Urushima is fine too but his feed per death is literally twice Katori's.
Jackson is borderline useless but maybe they can use him for early detection.
Emma is high value and should be used all the time to support any of the active skirmishes marking himself as a target for Toma, so Azuma could countersnipe.
Kikuchi has too many uses and his points hardly matter as the cost of his downtime is greater than the loss of points.
Kage is very high value and the real threat of the bunch.
Taichi should be in charge of trion soldier logistics.
Hanazaki should be helping Emma however he could.
all in all 2 high tier shankers, 2 snipers & Urushima playing assault. Looks pretty good. Operators do not matter as they are tied to their team and should not be put at risk.

>>280208815
From what?

>>280205211
Wakamura is so lucky

>>280209952
Tachikawa hiding inside an Ilgar.

>>280208939
Rindo is the biggest threat unironically. Toma is the second biggest threat. As for teams T1 & Tachikawa squad might just genocide.

The Osamu gangbang is upon us…

>>280205339
>Wakamura sudoku'd over how bad his team's score was every night
>had actual breakdown and needed to be told he sucked to his face
>ended up in 5th place

>>280209716
Katori won't berate for low salary but she would rape him in bed for it. In her case she shuts up rather than spews shit when she is truly mad. She is closer to Konami than to Kitora.

Which person would gun for our useless four-eyes in the combat test?

>>280210116
the magic of 2.4k points courtesy of QUANADA

>>280210167
Rindo, Konami. They would gun for him by mass murdering everyone else. Kazama would try for another 1 vs 1 but this time he would want an autograph.

>>280205339
>Wakamura 5th place
Wait one fucking second. Katagiri squad predicted this way back.

>>280210167
Yuiga

>>280210192
Canadian cuisine has a rather bizarre odour...

>>280210167
Katori.

Remind me again how many Canadians are working for Border? Both Konami and Arashiyama were half-canadians or something like that right?

>>280210279
Border's base is made by a mother trigger belonging to a canadian family.

>>280210279
Enough to make Miwa have nightmares about Canadians taking over Border

>>280210167
Dunno about Osamu but Hyuse is getting gang banged again, he yapped too much.

>>280210279
Four i think

>>280210279
>Both Konami and Arashiyama were half-canadians
Huh?

>>280210279
Just Cronin, Yotaro, Yotaro's sister, Yuma, and now Hyuse. Konami was involved with Border since she was a kid, but I don't think it's ever been stated she's part-neighbor.

>>280210418
If Yotaro counts so does Enedorad

Do you think they'll spring any last minute changes once they actually spawn in? In the same Special Assignment that talked about Operators going in the field, Kikuchihara mentioned having agents be unidentifiable via sight and I could see that as something to shake them up and make the operators/phones that much more important.

You know now I wonder, does Katori know about the 13 point thing? Because she doesn't seem to be fuming enough to be aware of it.
Just imagine 1 Four eyes is worth 9 copies of her.

>>280207554
They're essentially liches with their laptops being their phylacteries.

>>280210486
We'll see Katori go beyond mad if Hana gets taken out and she's worth a bunch of points.

>>280210555
Katori would want revenge but she would also be happy that Hana's efforts were recognized. If her team is doing well she doesn't care about own performance.

>>280207554
there is no communication without the laptop, 5 people would be stuck without comms & operator Info, plus operator would have to transfer any information either by texting or even manually. With the fast pace of trion combat, its just doesn't seem to be usefull. Having proper comms & operator support > any benefits using them as bait. Don't forget without operator they are blind & deaf, no radar, no map, no sight lines, nothing.

>>280210481
They're going to be wearing the masks from Ashihara's rough draft and make the opponents seem more Canadian.

>>280210401
>>280210418
I vaguely recall it was mentioned somewhere in the data books that the both of them have neighbour blood in them.

>>280210737
masks are cool

Maybe they'll forget to make the barrier 360 degrees and you can just mole claw at terminals lol.

>>280205234
Judging by how fast this thread filled up it's like the malaise fogging up the air for five years has finally been lifted

>>280210742
No such thing has been mentioned to my recollection. People have merely speculated as to their involvement with the Neighborhood because Konami was noted to fight more like a Neighbor and she was involved in Border at an unusually young age. Technically Konami's fighting style isn't unique in that Tamakoma-1's triggers in general were also noted to be more Neighbor-like, but it's still pretty odd even for Old Border that was was an active combatant as young as she was.

>>280210711
People without operators can just default into protecting the closest beacon until respawn.

>>280210737
I always thought that changing your appearance would actually be pretty attractive to certain border agents, the idea of getting famous enough that people stop you on the street sounds annoying.

>>280210895
Come to think of it, operators should have a similar respawn time as Osamu given most of them have low trion.

>>280207955
>Ashigara is a Sanosukefag
Figured

>>280210895
>defending without comms or radar
good plan.
operator bait is not worth it unless you win with it and even then you'd want them on the laptops until the end.

>>280210940
Only the PR squad and troublemakers who barge into live press conferences become popular with the general public.

>>280210940
I mean, they CAN change their appearance. Most people just choose not to.

>>280211020
she should be pretty but with what we know about trion body digestion her diet paints her as a land whale. tragic.

>>280205860
>>280206035
Wait so operators are immune to damage (if they hide the laptop) and can use triggers? That basically makes them stronger than regular agents, if they know how to fight.

What the fuck is Oji doing?

>>280211111
Assuming that they can equip agent triggers, it would probably disable their immunity, right? Otherwise, it'd be too strong. Or would it, since most operators have shit trion to begin with.

>>280211177
having fun, and with recent Ikoma stunt he is 120% satisfied

>>280211213
/ourtrionlet/ can do just fine, they just need to be smart.
He has less trion than the average operator.

>>280210940
Doesn't Konami change her trion body's hair so that classmates don't know she's in border?

>>280210486
Only captains were aware of the individual A-rank breakdown for their squad each night. Some were nice enough to share with the entire squad, but Suwa definitely kept it to himself. Assuming he actually remembers, he should have a general idea about each person's value and let them know when they start coming up with a plan.

>>280206124
Kyoko my beloved

>>280205211
That´s cute as fuck

>>280211274
I can't remember if that's a fan theory because I've also heard that it was to stop it from getting in the way or in her eyes while she moves around.

>>280211291
>Katori's anger will reach supernova right before the combat phase
I wonder if she could tank Tachikawa on rage alone.

>>280211274
Yes, that's also why she wears green in her trion body even though her favorite color is red

>>280211105
Made her trion body a gremlin because she's a fatty? Too real.

>>280205940
I really hope that the trion soldiers don't get much screentime. The characters fighting with each other is infinitely more interesting than them fighting a really tough trion monster with no personality.

>>280210940
IIRC, Ashihara mentioned in a Q&A that if the body is too proportionally different from your normal one, it'd fuck with your senses when you swapped to one or the other, so most people decided just to make cosmetic changes like Konami's hair, if at all.

>>280211537
tit boosting is apparently fine though

>>280211537
both Konami & Katori mod their boobies.

>>280209645
Trion soldiers show up on radar, yeah? Spend one team's whole budget on cheap diggers. Operator radar harassment. Scouts. Terminal assassin.
Lots of cheese strats to using the underground.

Maybe Ashihara will make most terrain rock to avoid it.

This post is just a reminder that teleporter is completely broken.
Even the counterplay of figuring out where the user is teleporting to doesn't work if you tweak how much trion you put into it to change how far you go, or if you just wear shades.

>>280205211
Cuteori...

You could still change your face a bit and leave everything else the same.

>>280205694
THE
MOST
VALUABLE
SWEATDROP

>>280211676
You most likely need some time to come to your senses after changing position so suddenly, that makes you an easy target. And eyeing your next position means you take your sight off the current situation which isn't a great idea if you're being attacked

>>280205694
I too misread this initially as being the squad captain assigned points, but Katori got absurdly boosted either way lmao.

>>280208791
Lol fighting Kage is so not worth it

>>280211784
Arashiyama starts shooting immediately after using it and it doesn't seem to have very much charge up time so taking your sight off the current scenario for an instant right before you relocate isn't a big deal.

>>280205741
eight is not that much and with cover from Azuma, Nino, Kodera, Arafune & Emma there are not enough snipers in A-rank to stop her.
Chika will just blow them up.

>>280211177
He's been preparing for Phase 2. The Dark Horse will be unleashed in the next few chapters as his Death Squad of Attackers runs rampant through the field.

>>280211886
Toma will ride a trion drone 3000m up and pop Chika from the sky. No one will see it coming.

>>280211886
It would make good bait, but it'd also turn into a shit show with most A-agents on the map rushing for her. Plus if they kill Chika, she probably has too much trion to be able to respawn.

>>280212014
Taichi is going to make a tank for Chika. War is changing and the supremacy of Trion mounts will be shown.

so which is better blowing up the further away terminals to force the enemy to respawn right infront of you or blow up the closer ones to take more ground?

>>280212014
Azuma is in guard dog position. No one snipes Chika today

>>280211987
He'll be making literal trion horses

>>280212044
Yeah that is the main perk of this clown fiesta. It forces the A-ranks to tunnel vision her position. If properly coordinated it could be the opening of the final winning play.

>>280212109
that is Taichi's job though

>>280211886
Toma and Narasaka are more than enough. Plus twin snipe and Kusakabe squad's sniper with the side effect. And given Chika's trion, she potentially has only 1 life. The last thing they would want is to expose her location and have her taken out early.

what if the map a mix of all ranked team battle map ? Like a battle royale, maybe we will finally get the forest map ?

>>280205211

he should be. fast respawn + high value target + easy target. to put it simply = he is fucked.

A-rank has 2 trappers and a spotter. This is so fucked.

>>280212259
a-ranks have T1, Tachikawa squad & Rindo. Its not fucked its rigged.

>>280211537
Konami's hair is probably battle related too, for someone who moves a lot like Konami, long hair just gets in the way

>>280209513
We might finally get Kazama vs Yuma

>>280212294
I still believe in Godzuma supremacy.

>>280212294
Fuck them B-ranks, Canadians won't be fighting fair either.

>>280212355
Yeah but can Azuma use TWO SNIPES

>>280212137
IIRC Ouji is into horse riding so it would be a neat callback

>>280212397
no, but he probably can shoot down two bullets with his one

>>280205158
He really took Jin's advice about not refusing powerups to heart

I think people are underestimating the significance of respawn times. If recovery time is linearly related to Trion number, based on Osamu's figures, Katori only gets 6-12 respawns, and any time she spends dead is a severe opportunity cost for the test takers, whose only real advantage is numerical superiority. Point denial is still a valid strategy to minimize loss, but I don't think anyone's going to be zerg rushing. She's not good enough to beat many (any?) A rankers on her own without many tries, whereas most of them could deal with her casually in a one on one and then move on to the next problem, regardless of how many times she respawns. I feel the best strategy with her is to utilize her as a deal closer, having a team of agents try to isolate and wear down A rankers, then having her go in for the actual kill where the risk is greatest, not just throwing her at foes willy nilly. I also think that the main strat for the test takers should be to maximize usage of Trion soldiers against A rankers just to tie them up, preserving their own strength for dealing with pylons, both offensively and defensively. They're the biggest point maker, they can't fight back on their own, whittling their numbers down simplifies the state of the map regarding where enemies are likely to be, and the test takers' numerical superiority means they can assault more at a time than the A rankers can properly defend. Each time a team takes down a weakly defended pylon, they go join the next weakest one, soon causing a run-away effect. The same is true on the defense side.

>>280210279
Konami we are not sure, she is at least half since Arashiyama is her cousin and they do kinda look alike.

Kinda douchey she never thanked Osamu for saving her little cousins life.

>>280209513
I cant see Konami losing any 1v1 sans throwing against anyone on B rank side.

>>280212653
Kage, Yuma, Murakami. They are not favored but its possible.

>>280212653
I'm practically certain she won't have her custom neighbor-like trigger.

>>280212653
>I can't even imagine Konami losing.

>>280206124
CANADA POWER.

>>280206124
Gotta say these uniforms are pretty dope

>>280212788
Yuma has like a 7/3 split on normal triggers. She just has more experience.

Kage maybe, he is a wild card, being a child soldier one would think she wouldnt trigger his side effect but apparently only Azuma doesnt, maybe she is too emotional.

Murakami lmao. He is just not that good, he got curved by Yuma before the download, his skills are just above average without the cheat code.

>>280212914
Also this is 1v1, she got the two best supports in border so she can run rampant. I would avoid T1 at all costs.

>>280212902
Very true. I'm surprised he designed a new outfit when he could easily have reused the default C-rank uniform and recoloured it, but I'm glad he did.

>>280212976
I think that's what Shinoda was wearing when he fought in the invasion

>>280208946
I'm honestly surprised that no one ended up with negative points. Would've made for some fun suicide shenanigans.

>>280212914
Murakami is better than Yuma though, the R3 victory was a miracle and Yuma still had to double-team him with Hyuse in R7

>>280209513
Taichi vs Cronin

>>280205741
What about lightning bullets?
Chika should just shoot a barrage of comically slow bullets and disappear before they start hitting

>>280213176
He is not better, he can just read Yuma inputs, he is not as good against new people or just someone who is straight up better.

>>280212464
>only real advantage is numerical superiority
Chika, Nino & Hyuse. Together they can kill anyone from range and even wipe out entire squads with well timed barrages. As far as raw trion goes these 3 are unmatched.
>oportunity cost
Any unit that is contributed to an assault must produce at least its value, better yet its value + something on top. In this scenario B-units are dramatically inferior to A-units, yet on average have just 20-30% lower cost and relatively similar queue time.
If they want to score by killing there is no better unit than Katori, high stats, extremely low price point, the return is x10, risk is 1/10th of an average unit. Keeping her in the reserve just doesn't make sense as that is the real opportunity cost, each time Katori is not in battle they are missing a coin flip that could give them 100-200 points at the cost of 10. Basically Katori is a token they must use any time its off cool down.
>I feel the best strategy with her is to utilize her as a deal closer, having a team of agents try to isolate and wear down A rankers, then having her go in for the actual kill where the risk is greatest
Naturally they shouldn't just blindly throw her in, a comprehensive plan for each assault making sure the odds of success are stacked in their favor is essential, but the fact is she is the best tool for all high risk engagements because she reduces said risk dramatically just by nature of being so fucking cheap. One doesn't simply wear A-ranks down. they will kill them. The team they send into melee, will not come back, they all will die there, either from getting decapitated or from trion leaks. This is why all powerful low price units are premium. They make these suicide engagements work.
Ultimately all this cute shit is irrelevant, if B-rank artillery goes down and it devolves into an all out brawl all bets are off and their lives are forfeit. A ranks will exterminate them.

>>280206088
What's that hand gesture by Canadian? Does he wield a shooting trigger?

>>280213112
Only Katori & Urushima had the pleasure of having negativu pointo but I feel like kinder a-ranks weren't too happy to anyone in the dumpster, so they were bound to be saved from it.

>>280206124
All tamakoma agents have experimental triggers, right?

>>280205761
>>280205860
How do they made that controlled environment? Couldn't they just put the enemy there and trapped them indefinitely?

>>280213708
I think he's resting his hand on a sword handle

>>280205974
Good to see the points amount to something in the end

>>280206346
I wonder why do old agents have such high trion values when the whole point of teaching agents from young age was to develop their trion
Border is kike what, 9 years old? He should've been 25 when he was first exposed to trion.

>>280213915
This might be connected to how Border was formed innthe first place. E. g. the Old Border members were initially kidnapped people with high trion who learned to fight in the Neighborhood, maybe in a relatively friendly nation so they would from an alliance and be allowed to go back, this would explain how they got the knowledge and technology in the first place

>>280213915
Trion is random, even a nobody can have big values. They are all survivors too, huge trion might have helped

>>280214042
its over

>>280207819
Osamu will never respawn and will exclusively communicate with entire B-rank force via messenger

>>280207955

Even if they did, there's no way the rules would've made them worth negative points. Floored at 0, for sure.

I looking foward to what cheese tactic he's gonna come up to compesate. He's fucked, but he also have some nice tools (respawn timer, trion soldiers)

Also, maybe the original border where all outliers in trion departament

>>280214663
>anon doesn't check his spam emails

>>280214663
did you not read last months chapter?

Chika is a relatively cheap unit, but can't respawn.
I fully trust Ninomiya to wield that weapon of mass destruction in a spectacular way.
One caveat is that Ninomiya is playing a raising sim first before a strategy game so he will try to have Chika raise her score so he will try to keep her alive as much as possible.

>>280209006
Time for Osamu to equip a version of nikokyra that can be placed on the floor

>>280214755

huh, then how come they still have a hard time with them?

WT dump is going to start tomorrow at the usual release time. It'll be a volume a day until we're caught up, and then the last few days will be dumping the last few chapters, which should line up with the newest chapters release

If suicide doesn't give points, I can imagine Osamu using a trion hungry trigger, fire it once then kill himself and respawn fully charged 2 hour later.

>>280215036
Because they don't have a way to forcibly transport them into it. The one time it worked was when they raided their base and was tricked into it as a stalling tactic

>remember what day the new chapter comes out

>>280215038

I wonder if Osamu will go for the food burning strategy.
It's 36 hours so they can survive without food, but fighting on an empty stomach is pretty hard.

>>280215925
That's how they take Raizou out of the picture

>>280216027
and Kakos cat.

>>280207633
I miss Shun.

>>280216134
Shun died a hero.

>>280207836
I think it makes more sense to use Chika in an anti-personnel role. She only has to kill 5 regular agents to equal a terminal. It seems a lot more feasible to do that without losing her than giving herself away 9 times to besiege a single location. And her taking out agents could even help attackers get close to and destroy a terminal.

>>280208085
I seriously doubt she's going to be able to respawn that many times. Her low value is extremely useful. But she still can't be completely reckless.

>>280216280
She and Ninomiya could easily artillery strike clumps of squads surrounding their operators or terminals. It'll be interesting to see how they use her after she's gotten over shooting people.

The point values, for those interested.

>>280208527
If you can reach the terminal then you can just cut it down yourself. But a small mobile one to sneak up to a terminal and cut open its shield might be useful.

>>280216391
Chika, Nino & Hyuse are B-ranks iron fist, the super heavy artillery that can decimate pretty much anyone in one volley.

>>280216398
I bet the A rankers will regret giving such a low score to Katori.

Is the anime worth watching?

>>280211274
>Doesn't Konami change her trion body's hair so that classmates don't know she's in border?
No, as I recall they know she's in Border. She just lets them think that she's an unremarkable operator, rather than one of their top combatants.

>>280210240
incredible

>>280216391
And they have the threat of Azuma and Ema countersniping anyone who tries to take them out. Their squad is practically purpose built to clear an area for other squads to move in.

>>280216632
Do you like filler? Do you love QUALITY? Then you will LOVE world trigger season one. Season two was okay.

and so we pray

>>280216887
Amen.

>>280215104
It was a big chapter.

>>280212072
Cutting off pockets of terminals. It makes reinforcing at them a much less desirable prospect but if no one does then they'll be lost.

>>280214689
Halfway done with the screening process.

>>280216398
Another thread?
I feel like this one went pretty damn fast

>>280212072
just blow up anything that is poorly defended

>>280212464
I think Katori's best use is as an annoying guerilla fighter. Investing a lot of resources into hunting her down isn't worth it from a points perspective. But if you don't deal with her she can do a lot of damage. But I agree, suiciding isn't really an option thanks to the respawn timer. I don't think there are any trionlets that would have short timers that aren't also worth enough points to make that non-viable.

>>280217098
Does nighttime /a/ even read world trigger?

>>280216887
Every day of every week I pray.

>>280217098
Sure.

>>280217124
Taichi, Hanzaki and Broccoli have relatavely low trion

>>280216398
Why is Urushima so low anyway? I don't remember him doing anything to tank his points like Katori or Ema.

>>280217379
I don't remember him doing anything great that gives him point.

>>280217379
Easy way to show he isn't a team player. Presumably he made some errors offscreen.

>>280217379
extremely bad rep because his pet operator onahole has 1 brain cell, he is completely unapologetic about it and loves making money.

>>280217411
Yeah, but he's the second lowest. There's lots of people who were just sort of there that have OK scores.

>>280217379
I don't remember him doing anything.. at all, i do remember him being unfriendly towards Kuga because he couldn't read the questions or something like that

>>280217569
he cooked rice with Yuma and told the kids not to bother Shiki too much, he also warned someone on Kodera's team about his wife's disability before it got to it, which prodded Yuma to somewhat happy over it, as Urushima proved to be a half decent person.

>>280216398
>Oji got a high score but the rest of his squad did bad
>Mizukami got a bad score but the rest of his squad did well
What did Ashihara mean by this?

>>280217711
The dark horse's plan is slowly unfolding.

>>280217699
Yeah, I only remember him being fairly cooperative despite his reputation. I'd have thought he would have done OK points wise because of that. Were the A ranks also judging them on homework performance? Was he being really lazy with that or something? Or was it really just him being nakedly greedy that bothered them all that much?

>>280217773
bad rep isn't that easy to overcome, he didn't stand out too much so no points for him

>>280216855
>WT anime is done by toei
>any new seasons will be aislop
Very unfortunate.

>>280217773
From what we see it can only be his attitude that caused it.

>>280217818
>>280217834
Well now he'll get a chance at revenge. I hope he and Yuma go on gleeful assassination spree together.

>>280217773
Most of the points were used as merits instead of demerits so I think most of those demerits went to Water God and Wakamura.
Urushima probably didn't do anything that grabs attention.
How the A rankers give points was also an evaluation for them and they didn't do it very well from the management point of view due to this.

>>280205793
>even in bailout nino keeps his hands pocketed

>>280217868
Utagawa's team is stupidly strong, they will score some a-rank ass for sure.

>>280217953
Does it while sleeping too.

>>280217938
Urushima started with -7 so he ate quite a few demerits just for existing, most of them most likely went to Katori who had a whopping -13

I bet the Canadians will bully the shit out of operators.

>>280218030
T1 will bully the Canadians. So it evens out.

>Suwa is startled when he finds out Raizo has coined the lobby

I remember that some JP fans were theorizing that Raizo and Kusakabe were ex-Suwa Squad

yeah but no way katori is only 25% the threat kageura is either.

>>280218070
*joined

>>280218050
T1 will bully everyone. I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to deal with them. And they're worth the same points as everyone else.

>>280218070
if my memory doesn't lie to me Raizo was called chubby thunder by Ashihara. The guy might be stronger than you'd expect. Like way stronger.

I can imagine a bullshit strat of Chika raining bombs around the terimanl (asteroid or meteor, I don't remember which was the nuke) while Kaga and Katori rush in to destroy it.

>>280218105
>And they're worth the same points as everyone else.
this is the most hilarious part. literal raid boss scripted loss battle and even if you somehow win using everything at your disposal you get 10 gold, 1 exp and a bottle of piss as your loot, and in 6 hours the raid boss respawns.

>>280218202
If it's Konami's piss then it's worth it.

>>280218202
At least Reiji should be down for a while. Konami is complete bullshit, though.

>>280218275
nah, the real bullshit is Rindo who isn't even a captain and is worth 100 points. lol, lmao
