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 up.

Today, we're continuing the Invasion Arc with Volume 8. One of the humanoid neighbors is down, but more remain, and the fork in the road that could lead to Osamu's death grows ever closer...

>seven black triggers 13 years ago
Wasn't it 13 black triggers? Did the translator swap the numbers?

>>280466509
Seems like it

Chapter 62: Aftokrator: Part 2

>>280466640
I wish I had dates for when each chapter was published.

>>280466669
There’s a hiatus chart with that information hidden somewhere within my WT shitpost folder.

>>280466811
How many shows do you have folders for

>>280466831
Not many, just my favorites. But in terms of shitposts by volume WT is the biggest one.

Chapter 63: Invasion: Part 12

>>280466997
Miwa: Siscon for the win.
Karasuma: Ikemen for the win.
Arayishama is Ashihara favorite character?

>>280466972
Noooooooo

>>280467021
>no human
What is he implying?

>>280466669
The wiki is pretty good for this
https://worldtriggerwiki.com/wiki/Aftokrator_2

>>280467170
>>280467190
We get it, he has a bigger power level than that. But if you don't want to show it, then don't give it to him at all.

>>280467263
>using wikis
Get a real computer.

>>280467334
>>280467355
ENTER

>>280467276
Not showing it first chance doesn't mean that he shouldn't be given it at all.

>>280466509
Happens more often than you'd think with this series. Excel arc had one example of fucked numbers at least once every 2 chapters.

Chapter 64: Invasion: Part 13

>>280467276
It's just to reassure that he isn't only a jobber and does have cool stuff that he hasn't shown off yet.

>>280467377
>happy that she ranked 6th
Not high enough. She needs to be in the top 5 minimum or editors will say "no more fighting for her".

>>280466972
This was mosty decided by their difference of technology and firepower.
Organon is a cheat weapon.

Chapter 65: Invasion: Part 14

>>280467095
Doing damage until the very end.
Reiji is definitely one of the top agent in Border.

>>280467792
>you can transfer weight seals on contact like a virus
Now that is OP

>>280467589
When is Jin going to leave the story? I don't like omniscient characters in my anime.

>>280468049
After this arc he’s going to be benched for a decade.

>>280467226
Maybe there are some Trion Soldiers sturdy enough to tank 1 Organon attack or a Trion Soldier with automated defense that activates when an attack gets close.

>>280467459
I don't think that losing against a Black Trigger that is considered a national treasure is jobbing.

>>280468074
>benched
Not good enough. He needs to die. Of course that won't happen because the kiddies like cool characters who win every fight with a detached attitude.

>>280467377
The cutest got 3rd place.

>>280467402
So Boost seal is 強.

>>280467746
Reiji is great.
Separate Konami and Karasuma so they don't get wiped out together (thanks to Jin's advice, but he did it without raising suspicion).
Stall 2 enemies alone.
One of those enemies has a cutting edge technology while the other is a Black Trigger.
Damage the Black Trigger user.
Correctly analyze the Black Trigger in a short period of time.

>>280468130
Jobbing is fundamentally about losing to build up another character and show how strong they are. Reiji died to show how OP Organon is.

>>280468140
Close, it won’t happen because the author likes convenient characters that make writing scenarios easier. Even with him gone detached, cool characters are a dime a dozen in this series.

>>280468369
Freed from the cube and back to battle

>>280468049
He is not omniscient. He can't know everything after all. He is also a huge troll.

Chapter 66: Invasion: Part 15

>>280468593
It's a cool looking scene that's for sure
>>280466904

>>280468563
>Calls others monkeys
>Doesn't know about simulation tech
Kekaroo

>>280468563
Suwa is one of the best captains between the B-ranks. He quickly trolled a Black Trigger user and confined him in the training room.
The combat abilities of his squad are all above the average, but none of them are strong enough to change the tides of a battle so they are cursed to remain in B-rank forever though.

>>280466735
>Now I have an excuse to recall him
Is this a mistranslation of "excuse to leave him behind"?

>>280468836
Could be that "him" was supposed to be more vague. He might have been talking about reclaiming the black trigger.

>>280468757
>Any idiot.
Enedora is dumber than an idiot. Retarded caveman.

>>280469127
>we

Chapter 67: Invasion: Part 16

>>280468200
the first of many bullying scenes

>>280469099
Was that his side effect

>>280469234
Yes.
Viza said that he has to defeat Yuma quickly in order to capture the C-ranks.
Yuma detected that it was a lie, which means that Viza is not trying to defeat him. The reasonable conclusion is that Viza is stalling Yuma.

>>280467402
Kinda weird that Mikumo called him Kuga here, is that what he always calls Yuma?

>>280469234
Yes. Viza was lying about having anything to do with capturing the "baby birds". He's just stalling.

>>280469152
Tachikawa and Tsukimi are childhood friends.
Glasses are tied to their identity.
Double sniping was for aesthetics.

>>280467272
man.
lambyris is a very good support trigger

>>280467377
how is kazama so high?

>>280467589
>ptsd starts

>>280469476
Izumi makes 16 asteroids.
Osamu makes only 1 asteroid and is so weak that defending is not even needed. Also, Osamu's accuracy is shit because he couldn't even aim it at that eye thingy.

>>280469476
You didn't even hit the target Osamu

>>280469515
>Instantly retreated when he sensed danger
Smart Rabbit

>>280468369
>suwa back to his humanoid form
meh
he was much cuter before

>>280468697
>>280468563
best KTR btw

Chapter 68: Aftokrator: Part 3

>>280469691
Fucking Osamu, you turned her into a bigger target.
You should have just took her hand and run away instead of playing hero.

>>280469719
He likes dogs. As expected of the loyal child soldier.

>>280466972
So much for the strongest squad

>>280469957
Oh shit

>>280469957
THE STRONGEST BLACK TRIGGER

>>280469755
It probably didn't matter. They can't stray too far from Karasuma and the A ranks or one of the rabits would just break away and wipe them out. And once it looked like all the rabits were going to be destroyed Hyrein would have come out anyway.

>>280469984
>Baby birds
>Golden goose
>Egg Crown
>Lots of birds
What's with this guy and birds?

>>280469770
Gimlet damages a Rabbit. Chika's Asteroid blows up a Rabbit.
Not gonna lie, Border was very stupid in not using Chika effectively.
I know that there are rules and all that, but since it's a private company, they should have made some exceptions for her.

>>280470177
Damn, 6^3 cubes, nice going dude

>>280470240
fucking four eyes is high on trion

>>280470220
You can also notice how he made the cubes smaller.

>>280470254
First reality check.
His newbie tactics only work against mindless robots.

>>280470318
fucking 4eyes..

>>280470318
The cubification is such a freaky effect, it's like they're melting.

Chapter 69: Osamu Mikumo: Part 8

>>280470346
I'm sorry, but Jin definitely doesn't count as a main character.

>>280470346
Yotaro is always in battle mode. As expected of the most powerful man in Tamakoma.
Konami since the old Border. Now I am curious about Konami's parents.

>>280470457
>>280470482
Izumi is a good guy

>>280470512
Atleast she's easier to carry as a cube

>>280470542
When you think about it, this cubification technology would be extremely useful for away missions

>>280469868
He was going solo against 2 elite opponents.
The weaker elite was wielding a cutting edge tech weapon while the stronger one is one of the strongest soldier of his country and wielding a cheat weapon.
Reiji did well in that battle.

>>280470570
Cute school uniform Shun.

>>280470403
I feel the same way but Ashihara insists on it.

>>280470545
Here it is, when he's pushed to the corner, his good points come out.
He didn't hesitate to order A-rank agent.
>>280470570
If he still has Chika, a single use of Thruster would get him to the destination.

>>280470403
>>280470655
He ALWAYS see the futures.
I can't wait for Jin's perspective.
Better yet, a Day of Elite Agent's work.

>>280470637
>>280470669
I remember this scene in the anime. Slideshowing through every single character took up a solid minute of airtime.

>>280470758
>it goes through
Really? I had to check it twice.
It must be an injury from before.

>>280470637
I just picked up this series and I still can't remember who is who, though the current simulation arc has made several more characters stand out

>>280470785
Osamu make good expressions when he's desperate.

>>280470798
I think he is still using Chika's trion.

>>280470855
No way, it can copy those things too?!!
Black Trigger is broken.
I can't imagine the trion cost, though.

>>280470855
Replica is OP

Chapter 70: Invasion: Part 17

>>280470900
Black Trigger also gives a sizeable trion boost.
A good Black Trigger can raise someone with high trion to Chika's level.

>>280470876
But Chika is a cube now.
Is it transfer and not just connecting?
How does he contain the trion, then?

>>280470980
I think it's just leftovers. That would also explain the wide shield he made to block the magnetic bullets (those bullets are weak so even Osamu's shitty shield can block them).

>>280470732
Is this the only time he uses Thruster like this?

>>280467398
It was the translator fault, Ashihara is too autistic.

>>280466812
Second time Hyuse gets bailed out. Sloppy sloppy.

>>280466869
Old man feels the most shounen character so far, holding back, acting corteus. This is war old man.

>>280471374
Job job jobbity job job
This will never, ever change for all his verbal beatdowns

>>280469868
If Konami is worth a squad a black trigger is worth a multiple squads at worst.

>>280471411
Is that three senku kogetsu?

>>280471480
Kogetsu can do that?

>>280471480
Ah, now I understand why Tachikawa would want two kogetsu.
This guy is a monster.

>>280471340
Only opened the training room by sheer coincidence.
And he dares to call others monkey.

End of Volume

>>280471538
>the countdown
My favorite thing in this arc.
You can feel the heat, especially for THAT moment.

>>280471559
>Izukacha
Who?

>>280471185
And yet he still hasn't understood that he can just turn around and walk out the door.

>>280471595
>there's at least 26k autists in Japan

>>280471595
God I want to fuck Kazama.

>>280467846
>He can just push the weights out of his trion body

>>280471466
His one is special.

>>280471461
You can see how dangerous Enedora is. Viza's Black Trigger is stronger than Enedora's.
Hyrein is avoiding cornering Border because he is afraid that a few will sacrifice themselves to become a Black Trigger.

>>280471607
Horn cancer, please understand. He used to be a good kid.

>>280471656
>I'd like to draw his past
WT's spin off? Is there any?

>>280471722
There's an anime filler arc about a neighbor world if you are interested...

>>280467869
Kuga situation is so bizarre. He is basically a mercenary, he has probably killed before for countries like Afkto. (Or maybe he has a no kidnap policy?). Still he is risking his life for a world he hasn't been even a couple of months in.

Is this his father's burder? Does he like this place that much?

>>280470798
The underside is its weak point. If Osamu can thruster slash through a Marmod then piercing a rabbit in the right spot shouldn’t be a problem either.

>>280468200
It begins.

>>280471764
He said he travelled around, but I doubt he went around doing merch job and squashing innocent people.
More likely he just helped resistance movements.

>>280471076
End of Round 8 he chucks it at Inukai before their final attack

>>280470209
She just joined, she barely knows how to fight at this point

>>280468667
It's probably an issue of where neighbors use trion. There's probably not enough to go around for such tech to be considered.

>>280471656
Hyuse can't sleep on his back. Ergonomy is important for design..
Viza is nerfed due to age. Fucking monster.
>>280471694
Arafune, the Hollywood Action Hero. Yeah, I also noticed that he always has a scene of jumping from an exploding building.
Ayatsuji can break Kido's Aizen mode.
Mikami is the "prince" of a shoujo manga. The A-cup doesn't help.
Kunichika, another talented retard. E-cup retard.

>>280471711
>become a Black Trigger
I'd be willing to bet that one of the neighbor planets with erratic trajectories was the result of that.
Just imagine invading a country, winning, and then being unable to return.
>>280471741
>s1 anime
>filler
No.

>>280471595
based Kazama
very cute for yumes/hags
very cool for boys

>>280469984
ENTER THIS ABSOLUTE CHEATING SHIT

>>280469984
The real question is, can he summon an ostrich stampede if someone shows him what an ostrich is?

>>280471971
For a Black Trigger, it has a very glaring weakness.

>>280471072
So does Kuga have access to magnets now?

>>280471764
He's made a bunch of friends on Earth and wants to help/protect them. It's not really that complicated.

>>280471711
Who'd be willing to become a black trigger anyways, i'd understand some actual soldier willingly sacrificing but most of border are just teenagers, some even kids.

>>280467933
Four-eyes supremacy

>>280471764
He stuck around to defend that one neighbor country out of a sense of duty to a few people he liked even though their leaders were cunts to him. He's basically doing the same thing here but with more nice people and fewer cunts.

>>280472109
Kageura, he reek of self-sacrifice.
Jin, too, probably would be when he sees himself dying and see a far future where the tech was developed enough to reform a black trigger into a person.

>>280468369
Rollercoaster of emotions. From your captain might be kidnapped and die.

>>280472227
The moment when he turns into osamu's black trigger and we get full display or the insane shit his future sight was
It will happen, I swear on ashihara's future grave.

>>280472220
Kido tried to gut him despite being his father best friend.

>>280472280
Kido is an overly emotional prissy bitch like ninomiya.

>>280472109
Jin, Shinoda, and Kido in general. Basically anyone if their personal friends were threatened.

>>280472269
>insane shit
Grown up Yuma, confident Chika, and Kitora beside Osamu who wear director suit, with real BORDER behind them.

>>280472308
Can Kido even use triggers? Did he used to be a combatant?

>>280472347
You missed the pic of Osamu Ai and their two kids on his desk.

>>280472280
I said fewer cunts, not none. Those neighbor guys were talking about how they'd rather he died instead right in front of him. And they didn't have racism as an excuse.

>>280472347
>Kitora

>>280472350
I'm assuming all old Border members were trigger users.

>>280472370
Fuck meant Osamu Yoko.

>>280472109
One of the higher ups like Shinoda or Kido, maybe even Rindou
It only takes one black trigger to completely turn the tide of battle.

>>280471874
It's just a common sniper thing later. Snipers have to hustle once their position is known and freefalling is faster than using stairs.

>>280472387
Honestly, I can't see Katori falling for Osamu.
She's too much of a bitch.
However, I can imagine her running into Wakamura a year or two later after their squad disbanded and being charmed by his mature look.

>>280471711
If worst comes to worst they would just call in Amo who would flatten the entire Aftokrator invasion force. Gravity goes through worm holes.

>>280472350
>cool eye scar
>named Masamune
There's no way he wasn't a fighter.
Also, I forgot Rindo. He'd be another very likely black trigger candidate. And Azuma and Reiji too now that I think about it.

>>280472370
Fuck meant Osamu and Mira.

>>280472480
That's for his secret second family after Mira told him she just raped him in his sleep.

>>280472109
Jin, Kido, Shinoda and Rindou would be willing to become a Black Trigger.
I don't know if Sawamura has enough trion to become one, but I bet she is also willing to become one.
Maybe Miwa, but I doubt he knows how to become a Black Trigger.

>>280467846
Weird that he can use a black trigger AND the fancy defense cloak that Afto soldiers wear.
Must be one of the areas where Border engineering is behind Afto and other neighbors. Border needs one for their Fujin user.

>>280472501
Is Hyrein really scared of her...

>>280472109
Once they start seeing their friends dying, I'm sure many would go hero mode

>>280472528
I'd never caught that before. And he doesn't even have horns so it can't be related to that.
I've never really understood why they can't put a trigger over another aside from trion consumption. Yuma does it.

>>280472882
What I don't get is why they haven't invented portable trion batteries to artificially increase trion capacity.

>>280469957
>>280469984
They should've ended this invasion arc earlier and brought this guy in after a cooldown period.

From what I can see, the best way to conquer without new Black Trigger being made is to have a slow but steady win until midpoint then quickly go into full power to immediately secure a win.
It must be hard to conquer other nations in the Neighbourhood without bringing a good amount of Black Triggers to counter new unexpected ones.

>>280472935
Border is not retarded, the moment they have a break they are giving Chika an actual trigger with Bailout

>>280472928
Maybe they don't have that technology yet.
We can see how Osamu's Trion Body starts glitching a bit later.

>>280472959
>the best way to conquer without new Black Trigger being made is
through diplomacy, economics, and subversion.

>>280469476
>dodged the cat girl's Ibis but not Mikumo's Asteroid
Weakumo...

Does anyone have the full story of what happened to the mangaka anyway? The older scans had the volumes with commentary in them so I got a vague picture of what was going on, but the newer chapters had different scans which excluded those so I never really got the full story.

>>280472959
Aftokrator doesn't want to conquer meeden, they just want to steal C-rank agents to use as trion batteries

>>280473070
Some really nasty neck illness, cervical spondylosis I think.
Then he got a deal with jump and moved to square, where he's far and beyond top dog of the magazine.

>>280467276
If you're a first time reader, you'll understand when you see Karasuma use his trump card later. It's in the same vein. They say they are the best squad, it's actually more like they boast the most offensive power.

>>280469664
Chika on the path of the All-Rounder.

>>280473112
Has he managed to keep a consistent release schedule at least? I know he moved to monthly, but haven't really followed the series after reading it through a while ago.

>>280473097
Due to how insanely difficult is to conquer them, both militariliy and politically.

Given that the Neighbourhood was in a state of perpetual war, I couldn't help but think that someone was perpetuating that state because they wanted more black triggers to appear.

>>280467933
It's refreshing to see that MC-duo gets both first and second position. Pretty Sure osamu never lose his crown.

>>280473203
More or less, he still takes breaks/reelases only 20 pages a month every now and then, but it's borderline monthly for the most part.

>>280473203
>Has he managed to keep a consistent release schedule at least?

>>280473196
Chika will beat Arafune to the next perfect all-rounder

>>280473230
Honestly, it's just like togashi, he should have seriously considered getting an artist, doing rough drafts for an artist to fix into 40 monthly pages isn't THAT demanding.

>>280473260
>perfect all-rounder
That's Reiji.

>>280473203
Moreso now than at the beginning of his return, thanks to plenty of prayers

>>280473307
He's saying she'll become one before Arafune does

>>280473329
His final stretch in jump after the hiatus is still my favourite part of WT in general.
The mall fight is super fun and the final round has the perfect ending.

>>280473348
Unlikely, can you imagine Chika doing a senku kogetsu?

>>280466812
this is the best use of the wires
>>280471374
well the shitter is up against Reiji - the best all rounder in border, its just not that easy to fight Tamakoma and not get your ass immediately obliterated, in a way its impressive he only died twice.

>>280473425
Even if she fucks up the timing I feel she could just level a whole city.
Ashihara should have done
>every trigger in border used by chika
specials, just to see the maximum output they have just like her huge ass meteora

>>280466869
>take cover
yeah, as if that is going to help

>>280473425
Ema would coom on the spot and ask her to slice him off

>>280473196
>Defenses stronger than Border's walls
>Ammo might as well be infinite
>Each bullet has the power of a mini-nuke
We aren't ready

>>280473425
No need. No one can stop the scorpion hedgehog.

>>280466949
hornless grandpa with a National treasure

>>280473425
Senku is more about drawing speed rather than Trion

>>280473477
They should just give her one, drop her in the middle of the enemy field and tell her to spam shit.

>>280470372
>>280470391
Well, so much for being invested in Chika as anything but a plot device. Her last moments before this were being used as a battery for Osamu to leech feats from.

>>280469868
the issue here is Viza's relative power level.

>>280467303
Good wikis are good, the problem is "fandom"

>>280470403
He's a character backported from the mangaka's previous attempt to get a series going. He's absolutely a main character.

>>280470422
Why are we supposed to keep track of the Rabits?

>>280467070
this is why Reiji was sending Torimaru & Konami away the first opportunity he got. He knew it was a losing battle.

>>280473520
The manga isn't over, anon. I personally think she's become the best written character.

>>280473558
Nowadays, jin would have been kept as the mc and everyone would clap.
Osamu would be the wacky sidekick with some development.

>>280470637
Guess he was running short on deadlines if he had to recycle art like this.

>>280467070
this must be very frustrating

>>280466923
>Not many, just my favorites
How is that possible? I have thousands of favorites

>>280470855
How many more powers is Yuma's Black Trigger going to get?

>>280467145
a reminder, Lambiris is not a BT

>>280473520
You know this manga keeps going, right? It doesn't stop here.

>>280471307
So he's just completely unhittable AND regens from all damage.
I get it, this guy is unbeatable at the moment. Did we have to spend this long getting that across?

>>280473686
∞

>>280473606
Don't worry. Her character arc is about growing stronger. She is the one character with the potential to be the strongest one.

>>280473777
Japanese kids are notoriously slow and miss plot points repeated ad nauseam often.

>>280473751
Same with the other guy's trigger. Afto triggers seem to swap the simplicity and modularity of Border's set for a single multifaceted ability

>>280467904
>my attacks won't hit him...?
you better get used to it, you are fight against the Elite.

>>280473686
>>280473808
There will be a limit and then it will become like a Border trigger, he can choose which ones he wanted to equip.

>>280467211
I wonder if these goofballs will eventually be avid Tamakoma supporters

>>280473836
Aftokrator is also technologally superior in regards of trion technology. There is a reason why Enedora keep calling Meeden as monkeys.

>>280467235
>>280467259
So Chika's side effect can track individual trion sources and it doesn't matter if they are soldiers or trigger users.

>>280471512
He could've just leapt onto the roof, superjumped/grappled to the point above where Enedora was, and then attack straight down to enter.

>>280473539
Fandom the concept, or Fandom the wiki engine?

>>280467468
I really love how Viza presents himself

>>280473836
Border biggest strength is their numbers, in that sense building generic triggers anyone can use is simply better.

>>280468200
he got stuck in the walls, just like the waifus of the hentais that I watch, imagine Konami stuck in the walls

>>280473901
>*hostile trion sources
I'm on the side where most side effects weren't fully understood yet and they're actually much more broken.
She's perfect candidate for a Mother Trigger.

>>280473813
Then just show recycled art of Enedora regenning every time people discuss how ineffective their attacks are.
Plus this is a guy who can just slice everyone into ribbons from inside their own bloodstream like Metallica in Jojo. You're not overcoming that bullshit on the fly without pulling out something equally bullshit. The manga probably should've ended this invasion arc within 15 chapters.

>>280473995
And Border also gives A-ranks the right to mod their trigger.
Which is great at making specialized units for top tier elites and a way to create more useful weapons if their mod ends up being a completely new user friendly weapon like Scorpio-chan.

>>280472528
Kazama's squad has uniform that enhances chameleon by reducing its trion drain, so the border is trying.

>>280467276
>>280467459
>>280473120
This is exposition + a joke, while using another character to foreshadow a new ability, so it doesn't come out of nowhere for the reader. This author has said multiple times that he likes predictable written, because he thinks that is good written. He doesn't like authors that changes plot points because the fans figure it out.

>>280471764
He really likes Osamu and he actually had lots of fun the few days he got as the border agent.

>>280473112
>where he's far and beyond top dog of the magazine.
WT volumes are always on the top 10.

>>280474104
>This author has said multiple times that he likes predictable written, because he thinks that is good written. He doesn't like authors that changes plot points because the fans figure it out.
I have PTSD from playing the Kiseki franchise. If anyone ever pulls a "Holding Back", it makes me want to shank someone.

>>280467904
so Jin himself doesn't know which actions are the most important to minmax the future, he can only make educated guesses based on what he sees

>>280471764
Yuma is a good guy who repays kindness with kindness.
Yuma likes many people in this world now like the Tamakoma bunch.
He only dislike a few people like Kitora, Kido, Tanuki and Nezu.
Yuma is suicidal, he wants to die and Osamu gave an extension to his life by giving him the mission to save Chika.

>>280473667
Probably. Jin sees the future, but may be missing information because he hasn't seen everyone involved. And just because he knows what the possible futures are, doesn't mean he has a safe, reliable way to switch to a good future every time.

>>280468067
and now Lambris became a chameleon, lmao what a busted fucking trigger

>>280474213
Jin sees the many possible futures and has an educated guess about which are the more probable ones to happen.
A big part of his way to set the future is trusting that his friends win their respective battles.
For example, he was surprised when Ranbanein was defeated. He knew that it could happen, but from Jin's reaction he didn't expect that they could win so fast and with minimal loses.

>>280468000
>>280468171
uhh, who is the bad guy here? Because I'm pretty sure if you post these two out of context, its Jin every time.

>>280474285
Shame Hyuse has a terminally low mental stat and is super weak to provocation.

>>280474285
From Hyuse's phrasing, it seems that the stealth function is more effective in a dark environment.
Also, Hyuse is using Aftokrator's cutting edge trigger. Even his horns are more advanced.
Sadly for him, Jin is his hard counter, not only because of his side effect, but because Jin's trolling is extra effective against ultra serious guys like him.

>>280468200
I wonder if he is wiggling his legs on the other side

>>280470119
Birds are extremely important. He understands that.

>>280474328
No surprise tehre, a lot of people think that Jin is evil.

>>280474372
Ashihara was ahead of his game with wall stuck (male) porn.

>>280468171
And this is where Hyuse realizes that Hyrein is about to backstab him.

>>280468445
based Suwa shitting on useless A-ranks

>>280474372
Oh absolutely. And I'm sure it's very cute.

>>280474328
Border fighters in general can be very anti-heroic at time. Sneak attacks, ganging up, outright lying, bullying poor defenseless ace heroines

Just picked up the series and read to the latest chapters. Seems most people hated the simulation arc which has gone on for years but it was fine reading it in one go. Looks like I just started at the right time then since they're getting back into action now.

>>280474475
It's a hard to go through arc in real time.

>>280468710
Suwa was perfect for this job, you can almost see Enedora boiling alive

Extreme lack of Konami in this volume.

>>280474205
>If anyone ever pulls a "Holding Back", it makes me want to shank someone.
He wasn't "holding back" the kid doesn't know what he is talking about, Reiji decided that using that power was not the right strategy and he was right you will see why in the future. Terrible idea to go all out when the enemy is so mobile and has shields.

>>280474461
The Arashiyama squad is probably the most "Hero-like" squad around, which makes since since they are the PR squad and want to look good to the citizens.

>>280474475
I think hate is too strong a word. I'm a fightfag and I still enjoyed it. But I'm also happy we're moving on to the next phase. I think of it similarly to Made in Abyss' village arc.
But you are right that you picked a good time to pick it up.

>>280474205
Jin told him he was gonna lose, the whole point is buying time and his special trigger eats a crap-ton of trion, he wasn't beating a black trigger even with his secret weapon.

>>280474205
At least Reiji wasn't holding back here.
His job was stalling those two and we know that Tamakoma's special triggers aren't trion efficient so he shouldn't use them.
Reiji was also making a lot of different attacks to try to figure out how their triggers worked.
Reiji is a smart beefcake.

>>280474506
I can imagine that yeah since this series seems to have gone from weekly to monthly. I did find myself actually getting immersed and reading all the text though, typically I'm just a lazy speed reader who skims through dialogue when it gets way too wordy
Also Madoka a cute

>>280469152
>the only perfect all-rounder who can also snipe is Reiji
how not very all round of them

>>280474662
good taste

>>280469302
Shun is the number one Jin fangay

>>280469476
that headgear cat is one hell of a creature

>>280469755
well you shouldn't blame Osamu for this one

>>280474633

>>280474639
When has energy efficiency ever mattered yet?

>>280474592
I just read it on reupload sites and the comment section for most of the recent chapters were filled with fightfags bitching about how they were still on Namek 3 years in. The recent chapters where Hyuse laid it out on Rokuro were well-liked though

>>280469719
>drawing
fascinating

>>280474835
>Gets cubed
That's worse than losing.

>>280470048
>trigger that creates Suwa clones
op

>>280474846
It actually matters in World Trigger.
That's why a Shooter never fires huge cubes unless they are Chika.

>>280474857
Blue...

>>280470607
he is so motivated he is even using thruster like a normal human being.

>>280471694
Would why Ashihara "casually" mentioned these underaged girls' cup size? Creepy and leery as fuck. No, being autistic is no excuse for this underage sexualization/objectification.

>>280474857
In her defense, she was the first person to get cubed like that. No one saw how it happened to Suwa. He just got eaten and was a cube when they opened it up.
Shun was able to bail out while being cubed. But he already knew it was coming.

>>280475111
Go back to twitter lmao

>>280475019
I haven't seen it matter yet. Nobody's ever run out or come short of energy to use an attack.

>>280475217
SOON

>>280471656
>One of the most powerful characters in world trigger
that is grandpa for you, an old hero wielding a national treasure and a bunch of shitters he has to tardwrangle

>>280475321
He's also basically the only one taking it seriously.

>>280475321
How many times has he saved Hyuse in this mission?

>>280475217
>I haven't seen it matter yet.
Characters are constantly talking about how much Trion they need to use

>>280475339
The rest are al thinking it's going to be easy because they have ojisan with them.
Just look at Ranbanein looking so calm and confident when he heard that Vyza was fighting against a Black Trigger.

>>280471694
thanks for the dump

>>280475339
He spent like 5 chapters not attacking at all because he was "stalling for time" (for an attack that leadership didn't approve of). That's not taking it seriously no matter what this manga wants you to think it is.

>>280475411
>That's not taking it seriously no matter what this manga wants you to think it is.
How is stalling for time, not taking it seriously? This happens even in real life.

>>280474475
dont bother with other sites.
WT discussion in the west started here on /a/ and is it still the best place
and more importantly, it pretty much retained its sales and reader base in moonland

>>280472452
Katori is much less of a bitch than Kitora, its not close. Katori never said a single bad thing to Wakamura after she gave him command even when he lost them the fight by being a complete dingus. Kitora would boil him in his own skin.

>>280475411
The rest of his team is
>a retard
>a bigger retard
>a bully victim
>overconfident asshole
>bitch too busy not bearing Osamu's kids

>>280473097
actually even that is a side objective, lmao. Afto is one hell of a nation.

>>280475358
Exposition =/= consequences.
Nobody in this fight sequence over a dozen chapters long so far has shown to have been exhausted from the constant fighting.

>>280475492
They are lucky we can't just launch nukes at them.
Who cares about trion when you can just poison their lands and rivers forever.

>>280473203
to the best of his ability, may he stay healthy and not overwork himself too much

>>280475411
>for an attack that leadership didn't approve of
That's not what he's stalling for. Viza is a team player and is doing exactly what Hyrein wants him doing.

>>280470391
Osamu, baka! Reiji is gonna kill you

>>280475411
Hyuse tagged the baby bird's minder.
Viza can leave the bird chase to his allies at that point.

>>280475411
Stalling for time was the strategy. Their mission goal is not to defeat Border agents, it's to capture the C-rank agents with the new hidden mission of capturing Chika.
If he fights offesnively, there is a chance of getting injured.
The Trion Soldiers are going around kidnapping people, his job is to stop the opponents from stopping the kidnappers.
Killing them is an easy way, but that comes with the risk of injuries and revealing his abilities.
He already revealed too much in his fight against Reiji and even got his leg injured, hence Yuma is able to fight him now.

>>280475512
>>280475248

>>280475458
Katori also gets very depressed when she sees her teammates underperforming because she feels it's her responsibility to protect them. A bit too haughty, but understandable because her team are made of weaklings.

>>280475512
Lack of trion doesn't exhaust the fighter, it makes them unable to fight.
Those who don't need to worry about their trion are the melee fighters who are not Konami.
Those who need to worry about their trion are the ranged fighters not named Chika.
You can see how Yuma stopped using the lead bullets due to using it liberally at the start.
You can also see how Kitora stopped spamming her bullets.
Trion is more like ammo than stamina.

>>280475544
>If he fights offesnively, there is a chance of getting injured.
Aren't the point of Trion bodies to take injuries without them being lasting?
And how is going all out to neutralize the stronger Border agents not an advantage if your goal is to capture the weaker ones?

>>280475341
at least 3 times because if Yuma went for Hyuse, it would be an instant pop.

>>280475629
she is just moodier Konami and that is amazing.

>>280475782
Now that I think of it have they ever fought it out? I kinda want to see Hyuse seethe at him in the next arc

>>280475763
Trion Bodies don't have repair function and a hole means trion leakage.
Vyza is currently weakened because his moves were seen and lost a leg.

>>280475763
if his trion body goes poof it will take too much time to reconfigure it. being active > being removed from the scene.
Remember how Kazama told Sasamori and later his crew to get the fuck away? Once you get popped your fight is over.

>>280475834
with border triggers Yuma shits on Hyuse because grasshopper. we don't know how much of win lead in a 10 round match he has but its enough to make Hyuse grumble, should be at least 2 or 3.

>>280475763
Because he can't be sure that he'll win. He's against a black trigger. If he goes on the offensive he runs a greater risk of being immediately defeated and then letting Meeden's black trigger catch back up to the baby birds. What he's doing now has the greatest probability of success in helping to capture Chika.

>>280475763
Losing your trion body here means death or capture.
Bail out is a Border exclusive technology.
If an Afto soldier loses, their real body will appear like what happened to Ranbanein.
Honestly, Bail out is one of the most busted trigger in the series.

>>280475411
BTs are a very, very big deal. Holding one back when the enemy doesn't have many is good enough. On top of that you can never be sure if BT doesn't do some retarded shit on top of what it already does so when fighting BT you have to be cautious or you will risk instant death. Viza is taking his time with Yuma for many reasons.

>>280475913
I'm hyped to see either Yuma or Hyuse getting trolled to death by one of Osamu's strategies and I hope it happens.

>>280474475
>>280474592
>>280474848
I really dislike the "most people" when used in online discussions. How can we truly know that? Consider a show with a million fans. Even if 70% of them post online, only 10% of that 70% post frequently. And of that 10%, perhaps only 8% disliked a particular story arc. Maybe these 8% might post dozens or even 100+ times per day, while the 2% who liked the arc might only post once or twice a week because they have other things to do in their lives. Can we honestly say "most people dislike it?" Online conversations are created by people with a lot of free time and 0 obligations in the realworld. Using the internet to understand or know real world opinions is a mistake and almost always wrong.

>>280475763
Trion bodies "bleed" just like real bodies, you can "die" of trion loss which is essentially bleeding out, when you get an injury after a while it will stop leaking trion

>>280476028
Wakamura's simulation win rate against Suwa's 7 is 0.

>>280476028
They're fighting the A ranks, not one another. They're still on the same side.

>>280475970
>Losing your trion body here means death or capture.
Mira can just pluck defeated soldiers out at any time. Like what happened with Ranbanein.

>>280476096
What happens if she gets shoot by a sniper?

>>280476096
Still a risk not worth taking.
Is not as intantaneous as Bail Out. Imagine if Mira or the defeated soldier gets attacked before she closes the gate.
We know it won't happen because this is shounen manga so having kids killing defenseless people is not a good look.

>>280476096
That was honestly just Azuma being merciful. It's unlikely Mira could get up a portal in time to redirect a lightning shot to Ranbanein's head.
But Viza would be safe since it's just him and Yuma out there.

>>280472347
>and Kitora beside Osamu
do you mean Katori?

>>280474258
I wonder how many parallel futures he sees at the same time, If its like 50+ its a genuine curse

>>280476310
Border wife vs legal wife vs Afto wife vs the rest of his homosexual harem
The true rank wars.

>>280476310
Can you imagine Katori in a managerial position?

>>280476169
I thought triggers from Border didn’t do damage to actual bodies.

>>280473070
>Does anyone have the full story of what happened to the mangaka anyway?
like Togashi his back hurts

>>280476139
Her power level is higher than theirs.

>>280476366
They've gotta have a way to turn that off. They definitely kill neighbors on away missions. Hell, they were planning on killing Yuma.

>>280472347
if he doesn't do the very funny thing by jumping in afto's delicious milf completely not ready for his 2 trion gland, then he either becomes a second Kido and effectively marries Border or Osamu bin Bailout and if its the later he wouldn't be in the border but rather out there terrorizing the neighbors as a friendly neighborhood warlord.

>>280476400
>like Togashi his back hurts
He was a complete retard for pushing his body to a breaking point!

Someone please post the page about sleeping and taking care of your health from that legendary mangaka(I can't remember his name, sorry)

>>280476169
If normal border agents can just shield through a sniper shot just knowing their position then a war veteran like Mira can easily redirect a bullet at them

Thread ending, please post your favorite WT fanarts.

can't. my absolute favorite is he happiest family, the second favorite is canadian brazzers and the third one features Ktr. so have this, its also pretty good.

>>280476538
Ikoma will score the most beautiful girl in Border.

Those are usually egret shot. The whole point of lightning is to be fast enough to catch people unaware. Which would be even more likely against someone unfamiliar with border triggers.

>>280476499
He was a complete retard for starting HxH. He knew that anything he did would never be good enough next to the slew of better artists around him, yet he refused to ask for any artist to work with him because he's too fucking proud of working all by himself.

>>280476538

>>280476608
That's a lesbian.

>>280471409
In the Q&As Ashihara implies that he was very much a hotblooded shounen hero type character in his youth.

>>280468563
Okay I heavily dislike this. Its called "Simulation Battle" but that cannot be it. We have two options

1) Everything is simulated as a VR kind of scenario using trion as its source but that cannot be it because it doesnt make sense a simulation can affect the real world. (Unless nothing they are doing is actually harming Enedora)

2) The room is actually powering up Suwa and everything in the room. But then why call it simulated? Also it doesnt make sense because then you could revive agents that bail out unless it only works inside the room but it seems just too convenient.

>>280476628
Too tall.

>>280476676
It's a room that gives you unlimited trion while you are in it.

>>280468757
That seems like a huge security oversight.

>>280476676
It's powered by a bigger hack than black trigger.

>>280476676
bruh do you read? this was explained during the tamakoma house chapters like 30 chapters ago. the room imitates effects produced by trion without using trion.

>>280476538

>>280476628
Kazama-san...

>>280473070
He explains it fully in a commentary from a later volume.

>>280476754
As expected of A rank, Suwa already passed out.

>>280476538
cube nun

>>280473751
Lambiris is supposedly quite tricky to use though, to the point where it might be nearly as exclusive as a BT in regards to the number of people capable of using it.

>>280476831
I bet that Nasu and Izumi could use it. The two of them are Viper experts after all.

>>280476169
I mean it is war but clearly their goal is resources, no need to make it a blood feud.

>>280476608
I will retaliate by posting this image. May god have mercy on your soul.

Looks like the cat has the same side effect.

These 2 are super interesting, I feel like they will become Osamus new team(even if is a temporary team)

I found a lot of world trigger japanese edits today.

>>280477836
Operator who can't handle multiple tasks at the same time.
All rounder who is the only fighter in his squad, hungry for money and protective of his operator.
If there is no love story behind them, Ashihara is a hack.

>>280473070
I think he initially broke his wrist and the strain of working through the pain exacerbated the spondylosis. He was also overweight, which added to his suffering.

>>280476538

>>280473682
I don’t have that kind of time or interest anymore.

>>280476538
The strongest squad.

>>280469234
There's a visual cue- Yuma's pupils are normally white, whenever they turn black he's detecting a lie.

>>280478168
The best use of his side effect was ninomiya's "no, osamu is just a shitter and he poses no danger" by a mile.

I think I'm just gonna have to treat this like the Jojo storytime and start getting up earlier.
Not a lot of series are worth it, but World Trigger is.

As a historical note, Ashihara's health was collapsing while drawing this arc and he was strongly considering ending the manga after the invasion arc was resolved. So thinking about how to draw things out probably wasn't on his mind at the time.

lets be very clear. Yugo is the real cheater here.

I like that Mikumo isn't "weak but skilled" which would just be indistinguishable from being strong.
He really can't 1v1 anyone. Not without a solid plan and some luck.
