It's been a few years since the last one, and with the Homework Arc now at an end it's a good time to refresh on everything that's happened, so we'll be doing a daily dump of the volumes until we're caught

>>280233767 (OP)
lurkin

>>280233767 (OP)
Anon you're doing one chapter daily or what?

>>280234004
Volume a day

i was just thinking about starting world trigger yesterday

guess the time is now

>>280234006
I remember the days when they were called NAVERS

>>280234070
Damn he's so tiny here. And this is only four months before the events of the most recent chapter.

>>280234034
I really need to read this with a character guide open. I wish each character had a hyperlink I could hover over to remind me of their name and bio, I find WT to be almost Claymore tier difficult to keep track of.

Chapter 2: Yuma Kuga

>>280235073
>Bridges

>>280234597
>>280234621
These guys got saved by the portal

I forgot just how different Yuma is early on.

>>280234054
I still occasionally wonder while reading World Trigger if Mikado City isn't fake and it's really just another neighbor world because the national government/international situation just makes no sense. But I don't know if it's "it's just a shonen, relax" kind of not making sense or Twilight Zone not making sense.

Chapter 3: Yuma Kuga: Part 2

>>280236203
Cute npc

Chapter 4: Osamu Mikumo: Part 2

>>280236909
>I can do t-ack

Chapter 5: Yuma Kuga: Part 3

>>280233767 (OP)
Ah yes volume one also known as the great filter.

>>280235933
I've read it as a mix of "it's just a shounen so relax" and "Border has insane PR". The one thing I wonder about is how far the memory wiping rabbit hole really goes.

>>280236472
so much for the shitty homing beacon

Chapter 6: Arashiyama Squad

>>280238089
best wingman

>>280237002
WELP

>>280238206
Our heroes and K*t*r*

>>280238689
They do get permission

>>280238833
Now THAT'S a fucking wingman

Chapter 7: Ai Kitora

>>280238912
For new readers all rounders shoot things and stab things. It will get explained in another volume.

>>280238998
Attention whore.

>>280234070
The only evidence you'll ever find that Osamu is not actually a 25 year old man

>>280237805
I've been wondering if the trion gland is actually extradimensional rather than "invisible".

End of Volume 1

>>280239653
Thanks for dumping

>>280234034
Is the dark haired guy behind Jin is supposed to be proto-Reiji? I think the guy behind Shinoda's shoulder is supposed to be proto-Kiriyama.

>>280239955
I think you're right about both

>>280238512
>>280238613
>>280238689
Kitora, first antagonist of the manga, all because she didn't like that Osamu got a little bit of praise for doing something frankly impressive for a C-rank agent. Even though the alternative was likely him and other students just fucking dying before her squad got there.

>>280239955
Might be Kazama's brother

>>280240372
Shouldn't he already be dead by that point?

>>280239653
Thanks OP
It's always novel to see Yuma being a little punk and more sorta amateur art. Everyone looks more age appropriate.

>>280240372
He should be dead at this point. As far as we know, all deceased Old Border agents died in the war prior to the invasion. It being Reiji would also explain why Reiji's hair color is different between the old photograph and the present. Ashihara needed *someone* to match the guy in the background, and picked Reiji over his other option Kido.

>>280239335
>how do you do fellow kids

>>280239539
It's implied that the neighbors rip them out and turn them into fuel so there's some kind of physical element to them

>>280239306
I just realized, Kuga’s confused by the idiom here, not doubting her.

Ah, the parts of world trigger that weren't tactics autism, they are almost nostalgic.

>>280241367
The editor is a hero who saved WT from turning into axebait by asking Ashihara to move the autism ahead of schedule.

>>280239653
thank you anon

im not going to reread this shit until they actually go to one of the border coutries

>>280242230
Just one (1) more arc, anon.
BELIEVE IT

>>280238833
This was the panel that stuck me when I first read it. It so clearly shows the author understands the difference between a weak protagonist and a useless protagonist, and until it was pointed out, even I had missed it

Can't wait for all the bullshit scorpion can do hopefully it gets some reaction from any new readers

>>280239653
Thank you for posting.

>>280236631
osamu used to be so much of your typical headstrong shonen protag

>>280245156
He and Yuma both changed quite a lot. Some of it is obviously character growth. But I also think Ashihara also just changed his mind about what sort of characters he wanted them to be.

>>280238512
worst KTR

>>280241842
I think it would have been interesting to see more day-to-day city life but given the collapse of Ashihara's health it's probably just as well that the slow burn track was abandoned, axe survival aside.

>>280233767 (OP)
kinda nice that Suwa is on the cover too.

>>280245414
You cheeky fuck

>>280239335
And Reiji's regimen training works wonders, from scrawny kid to a swole 25 years old salary man in 4 months.

Testing

>>280234326
Ah yes, the original idiot trio.

>>280239691
>designed after a chicken
what does that even mean?

>>280245239
Kotaro is the best

>>280245156
He still is, but nowadays he channels it all into the goal he decided for himself.

>>280242230
Don't worry
We'll have another storytime by then

>>280247700
His hair is as fluffy as a chicken's body.

>>280239691
>he didn't start out as a shorty
We were almost robbed of greatness.

>>280248102
In this manga we respect short kings.

>>280248102
I'm having a hard time believing that a tall person kicking someone's legs is controversial in a shonen manga.

>>280249009
>kick
he broke it, still not that controversial, though maybe its an 11 thing.

>>280233767 (OP)
Cool, it's today.

>>280249009
I think he's saying Yuma would have come across as too much of an edgy cunt if he was full sized doing that sort of stuff. Him looking like an 11 year old makes it easier for him to pull off being friendly and playful even after fucking people up like that.

>>280249288
Cute child soldier would feed burgers.

>>280249091
>>280249288
I guess a broken bone would be a huge deal in a series where sustaining three measly puncture wounds is a sentinel event, but it was hard to tell it was that kind of manga at the time.

>>280234034
Who's the runt? Is that Konami?

>>280250235
Yes it is.

>>280234684
The idiot leader actually has good trion reserve on him.

>>280235393
A million yen, not bad. I guess his father stashed some money in Japan just in case.

>>280235596
Dumbass should bring him so he can learn how to order food.

>>280237766
Replica looks like he's smirking in that fourth panel.

>>280238369
Cute little sister.

>>280238998
Kek, that's why she's in the PR squad.

>>280245414
KEK, YOU FUCKING NIGGER!

>>280233921
The first few volumes are such a slog to go through. Did you guys expect it to get the axed within 20 chapters back then?

>>280239742
Thanks for dumping.
>the readers might not like her personality, so her bust size was increased to counterbalance that
I'm actually less interested in her because of that. With that personality, the flatter they are, the greater the breast envy.

>>280235073
Mikumo doing the
>pushes up glasses
pose there looks very out of character

>>280251307
Konami & Katori are both flat as trion cubes so it should even it out

>>280238089
Interesting to see Osamu make a gag face like that, he doesn't often do it at all any more.

>>280238720

>>280239108
This is some premium tsun

>>280252147
Because nowadays no one teases him like Yuma did there. Even with Katori its more about avoiding getting ground to dust.

>>280252232
Oh you ain't seen NOTHING yet

>>280252279
Oh I have, but it was funny to be rereading and seeing Kitora whip out the immortal tsun-line (Even if she's 100% tsun for Osamu right now. Even later her dere is very icy.)

>>280252232
more like third rate refurbished after existing through 5 clearance sales, getting lost behind the racks for a year and being half eaten by the rats.

>>280252372
Kitora doesn't have dere, even her crush on Karasuma feels like a gig.

>>280247710
based
you just know he's the true heroine from the vol1 cover alone with how large his appearance is.
appearing twice to boot.

>>280247710
not many are aware but just like there are two K*tor*s there are also two Kotaros

>>280239742
Thank you for posting.

Is she really just that talented?
I can't blame anon for thinking that she's a half-neighbor because of her competence in battles at that age.

>>280234070
Is he just sitting there with his eyes closed?
Is he asking to be bullied?

>>280255787
>Is he asking to be bullied?
It's Osamu. The answer is yes. Obviously. It's what he was made for.

>>280234267
>Mr. White Knight
I remember the guy said "Playing hero", wonder which translation I read back then.

>>280234286
I wonder if the former-agents were doing fine in the outside world.
Especially the A-ranks...

>>280234326
Yuma...
>>280234348
In hindsight, Mikumo really is an exceptional guy.

>>280234414
When was the last time cutie-sensei show up in the manga?

>>280234435
My boy Kuga sharing his wisdom...
>>280234450
The guy in the middle back looks like a shonen mc.

>>280234474
Mikumo...
>>280234501
Why is there no camera? Even if the zone was prone to be destroyed, they could put some in the outside looking into it.

>>280256101
When was the last time anyone even went to school?

>>280234524
My cold-hearted boy.

>>280234731
>>280234758
I remember being genuinely surprised that Osamu was the Border Agent when first reading this. Yuma had that hallmark "weirdo who is part of an organization" vibe.

>>280234556
>>280234597
Would Replica know to stop him from going too far?
Perhaps Mikumo will try, only to be tossed aside for being powerless.

>>280234708
>>280234731
>>280234758
My captain, stepping forward before anyone else.

>>280234788
Mikumo is totally treating Raygus just as a sword.

Did he get hit because there's no intent to kill?

>>280236008
Osamu standing up against bullies.

>>280236042
Oh, he still got moves despite having one of his leg broken.
A good trion, too.
If not for his personality, he might become an agent.

>>280233767 (OP)

>>280236603
>for people who, for some reason, salivate over trivia
Fans.

>>280256480
He just hasn't figured out how roads work yet.
>>280250543
Did he stash it in Japan or did he bring it with him to the neighborhood? I think Yuma would have a hard time finding something like that.

>>280236758
I can't believe this used to be weekly.

>>280236874
Again, why no mask?

>>280237375
Raygust didn't exist when Yuma's dad left, right? So him shaping the blade like that must have been his preference rather than a pre-existing setting.

Yeah, I was expecting Yuma to recruit Osamu after seeing his heroism or something like that.

>>280238571
>>280238613
I love her so much.

>>280235073

Does the WT world just have a different set of zodiac signs?

Girl, you're the face of Border.
The PR team.
Give some fan-service, please.

Another step in Mikumo's legend!

>>280236203
>>280236228
Reminder that he's talking about Canada.

>>280239154
Aw, she's jealous.
>>280239192
Yuma coming with facts and logic!

>>280257445
Yep. I'm not sure why. But then I guess that kind of autism is to be expected.

>>280236253
It's wild to think that Neighbors wouldn't be known worldwide. To the point where someone has to ask if someone else knows about them.

>>280239230
>>280239263
Kitora is acting her age.

>>280239381
Jin's a hack.

>>280239455
I wonder how's the selection for the trion soldiers that come out.
Surely it's not randomized.
But it being deliberate requires THEM to know who they're dealing with, which is doubtful since they still don't know about Jin.
But the Ligar is such a counter to Kitora at this time that I couldn't help but think.
Or is she just that unlucky?

BIG.

>>280238833
>>280242916
I feel like this is why Osamu works and a certain other protagonist whose story starts with him rushing into danger to save someone doesn't.
This also continues throughout the whole story. Osamu never feels strong, but he also never feels like dead weight.

>>280241254
Idioms and sarcasm must be extra confusing for Kuga, even compared to other alien characters because someone is saying something blatantly, obviously untrue, but his side effect doesn't kick in.

>>280257592
I love anything that, even subtly, takes a hatchet to dumb zodiac/bloodtype shit. It's sort of a different joke, but it's great in Medaka Box where you get everyone's bloodtype and it's literally exactly the same one for everyone in the manga.

>>280239691
Unfortunately, this volume only had a mere 42 Osamus without a sweat drop.
No golden Osamu for me today.

>>280259515
I'm not gonna name names, but Deku is a nickname.
Yes, it's Deku.

>>280237373
That's me desu. Even the Invasion arc had me drop or forget WT.
Seeing the Rank Wars storytime is what pulled me in.

I remember world trigger because it was the only show I connected with a guy on IRC.

Starting new volume dump a little early today. Started a new thread since this one is almost dead and doesn't have enough images for a full dump. >>280263555

See you there.
