In celebration of the end of the Homework Arc, we're doing a daily dump of World Trigger volumes to catch everyone up

Today we're doing Volume 15, where Aftokrator's Vassal State Galopoula makes for a daring invasion tactic to infiltrate Border's base and destroy their away mission ship to delay their efforts

>>280690024
So basically Aftokrator isn't sure if Fujin is a black trigger or not, but definitely considered it a threat worth warning about.

>>280690024
>can be blocked by basic shields
Fujin sucks ass.

>>280689976
>abandoning a puppy as cute as Hyuse

>>280690248
Yep.
Afto only saw the end point of the attack from Fujin, and that alone isn't enough to be certain that it was a black trigger.
But they probably thought it was worth considering it to potentially be one given they had no idea where it came from.

>>280690466
>>280690487
Given how little WT trucks in it otherwise, this designated girl v girl fight stands out as kinda weird.

>>280690360
Fuujin has the unfortunate luck of being a good guy weapon and being tied to Jin who has the most OP side-effect. If it was too strong, it would become an obstacle to the story.

Yoneya got tired of missing the neck shot whenever he does the trick

>>280690726
It's not even a scorpion thing.
It's using Genyo which is actually a Kogetsu exclusive optional trigger.

>>280690695
I wonder whether Genyo came before or after Scorpion. It could be that Jin was a Genyo user and created Scorpion based entirely around that idea, or Kogetsu users started bitching about Scorpion and demanded an add-on that could do something similar.

>>280690810
Does someone use it on their normal kogetsu?

>>280690845
We know Miura has it equipped, but never seen him use it.

>>280690248
Yeah. Fujin is so bad it's hard to tell that it's a black trigger in the first place.

>>280690579
Would you guys consider these arm shield weapons better than Raygust, Kogetsu (no Senku) and Scorpion? They seem pretty limited.

>>280690644
Unfortunately Koskero has a 9 in trion and this is one of his few triggers, so I assume it's too much for Osamu. Also raygust is practically tailor-made for Osamu so he's a guster for life.

>>280690982
It seems like they're most similar to raygust but in a fixed hybrid mode that is both shield and weapon. I'd say they're comparable to senku-less kogetsu. Which is to say, not very good.

>>280690982
Feels like a sidegrade to Raygust. Probably weighs less, but it doesn't cover your whole body. Then again Raygust also has the thruster.

>>280691093
Attacker 1-4 in the same fight

>>280690599
If this also neutralizes bullets then it's pretty busted.

>>280691169
is he using his slime as a cane?

Looks like he reshaped his arm thing from the colour of it.

Someone post the Amo Osamu comic

>>280691436
she does that elaborate pattern over her head so she probably doesn't want to be surrounded by Suwas

>>280690380
probably only Hyuse's master considers him cute at all

>>280691537

Suwa is the best, just the best.

>Idk man, just put attacker 1 to 4 in there, I am gonna take a nap.

If only Suwa's name started with a K and he was about 10 years younger, then she'd be ok with cubes.

If i recall Nino and Kako are part of Azuma's 1st squad?

>>280691784
Yes, Miwa too and they all got a personality issue. Azuma too dotting.

>>280691784
Yeah, Miwa as well
Azuma nurtured 3 A-rank captains in one squad, that's how good he is.

>>280691784
Yeah.
Nino
Kako
miwa
Azuma deserves a parade after putting up with that and delivering competent agents.

>>280691871
Kazama probably leaped to avoid stepping sounds. Must be hard.

>>280691837
>>280691871
>>280691902
I love when they do this

>>280691871
Sorry, a certain Meeden elite is a bit too broken

>>280691814
It's probably better to look at it the opposite way: Azuma was able to tard wrangle three bad personality young agents who all had enough commanding aura to make their own squads later. Makes you look at his current rookie shitters a bit differently.

>>280691980
One way to stop trion leakage.

>>280691998
His current kids are actually the 3rd gen too, the 2nd gen also made it to A-rank but as a team

>>280691537
tsutsumi being friend with kako is first mentioned in her profile back in the thunderstorm fight, I love how ashihara keeps track of all of the agent relationship

Dump break for food

>>280692081
Maki.

>>280692081
I do like that it feels obligatory to call her her full name every time.

>>280691537
I still like this little gag of Kitora poking her head into the panel and being shocked as Inukai casually gets along with Futaba.

>>280692343
Serves her right
Maybe she should reconsider how she acts

>>280692343
Futaba doesn't like bitches

>>280691850
Azuma also taught Miwa's operator, who taught some others A ranks. Azuma tactic school runs this place.

>>280690579
What's with that circle in the 3rd panel? Mistake in the volume release?

>>280691747
oh no, she is okay with cubes, she just gets so shy from all the attention they start flying in weird directions

>>280692081
Risa Maki, the bitchiest of sexos

>>280692439
Yep. There are a couple of those around this part of the series. They were erasing Japanese sound effects and redrawing for the english release. Someone erased, missed some redraws, an editor sent it back to them with the errors circled, and they missed some of the circles.

>>280692343
which implies that Kitora is a much bigger bitch than Inukai. my god what a creature

>>280689976
Did he say this inside the base in case Border was recording their convo?

>>280692639
you should assume that they are using trion communication and Border didn't hear shit

>>280692631
Inukai is pretty chill though, Kitora has a perma bitch face

>>280692631
Kitora is a bitch outwardly.
Inukai wouldn't think twice to shoot a heavily wounded Futaba in the face, but he acts nice.

>>280692690
Inukai is the guy who will smile, wave a hello and then mag dump you while you are waving back, all while still smiling.

>>280692686
Trio convos have double-border bubbles, which weren't used in that page.

>>280692724
That would only happens if your name is Taichi, which if it is then i'm so so sorry

>>280692727
I know which is why I said "assume", Ashihara can be pretty specific about these things so there might be several different encrypted communication methods.

>>280692761
actually he prefers to do this to little girls so Futaba is in fact in danger.

>>280692761
I mean, Inukai did kill Chika for literally zero reason

>>280692761
That's exactly what he did to chika
COMPLETELY unnecessary.

>>280692782
Nah they use the bubbles here >>280690695.

>>280692821
>>280692826
A point is a point.

>>280692782
>there might be several different encrypted communication methods
That's true, but if he wanted to show that he could use a new bubble style to show it. It does make sense for them to tell border that they wouldn't be responsive to hostage negotiations, not just because they want to complete the mission fast but also because it's better for them not to even see a potential captive in case said captive somehow makes it back to Afto and tattles on them.

>>280692843
because there they are actually using non verbal trion communication. what I sad was trion based encryption.

>>280690576
there was a mangaka interview (not ashihara i think) that explained the shounen audience is just not as receptive to female vs male combat. it's not impossible but it's just harder to make "right" for the viewers. once you realize they all know this, a lot of manga match-ups make sense.

>>280692934
>A point is a point.
immediately after that
>hey boss since point doesn't matter anymore can I clock out early today

>>280692934
>a point is a point even if you don't need it and it's over
Inukai, pls stop.

>>280692950
intentional disclosure is another possibility but then they would choose a different place for it.

>>280691387
I don't think so, since Tsuji has it too. Probably just weird Ninomiya fashion sense.

>>280692821
>>280692826
He acknowledged her as a warrior

>>280693056
Nino himself doesn't wear it himself oddly enough.

Friendly reminder that the Act Age/Ichi witch artist used to draw WT porn.

>>280693012
well he was ordered to remove chicken form the table and he did just that. order completed, job done, time to wrap it up no need for overtime if its unpaid.

>>280693053
Such as? They can't exactly announce it before they start the mission, and if the point of the disclosure is to avoid seeing the captive at all then it's better to do it sooner rather than later. Immediately after being discovered inside border seems like the earliest chance that doesn't fuck with their mission in any way.

>>280693101
I'm going to need to see proof, sir

>>280693009
Why the fuck would they waste time doing that when they have telepathy?

>>280693154
She deleted it all

>>280693200
Raygust is strong.

>>280691980
>>280693155
What was the plan if an arm wasn't conveniently cut off for the gun to go on?

>>280693250
It can probably go over an uncut arm too.

>>280693200
>beam is weaker than senku

>>280693250
Can probably still attach it. Trion is like jelly.

>>280693174
because it could be running passively, as for why, I dunno, convenience? >>280693147
directly under cameras making sure they are heard and we would get comments from borer people watching it

>>280693381
This moment is done better in the anime.

>>280693250
He'd just hold it with both hands. The fact that the gun can just fuse onto a limb is not that strange, in rank wars people have their limbs cut all the time. So it's almost expected that some triggers from nations that had them for longer will come with a functionality that mitigates limb damage.

>>280693200
I wonder how that compares to the Chika cannon?

>>280693238
>>280693288
this is why tanking is a high skill tactic, he didn't block, he deflected the blast into the outer wall.

>>280693438
Senku would've cut right through Ko.

>>280693250
His crab has like 6 legs and he has a full set of those trigger mods on his back. not an issue

>>280693497
it gets blocked by scorpion, sorry bro

>>280693250
>tom savini.jpg

>>280693392
If such a thing existed it would be mentioned here where he talks out loud >>280693115

>>280693235
goody ass trion dog - 1
Rank 4 attacker - 0

Why doesn't multiclaw guy use his free hand for something? does their loadout also abide by 2 things out max so the claw arms and cannon are it?

>>280693466
These arms seem pretty useless outside of blocking blades.

>>280690140
>Similar to Shinoda
OMG we are fucked border bros who can stop him?

>>280693633
lol
lmao even

>>280693553
Senku damage depends on precision. A tip hit can bisect a suiciding ilgar. It can definitely slice right through both a scorpion and a shield mode raygust.

>>280693712
Ikoma's whirlwind got blocked at the pinnacle of its arc. Its by far the fastest senku. sorry bro

>>280693633
He used it to hold still from the recoil of the shot he fired at the hangar >>280693155 , not to mention he nearly had Tachikawa if Konami didn't save his ass.

>>280693101
Didn’t someone look into it and find that wasn’t exactly true? Or they figured out somethint

>>280693011
Indeed. There's a now ancient comic from some western animators where they got shown the raw data that little boys like fights and little girls like romance and it was incredibly blatant in their focus group reviews.

It's something of a shame, in a principle sort of sense in the constraint it imposes on stuff, but this is the price you pay for the big mainstream audiences.

>>280693288
It did end up blasting through the shield and way into the reinforced wall. He was just able to deflect it a bit anyway.

>>280693775
Failing to kill someone and making it so you can shoot a separate trigger without falling over isn't much of anything.

>>280693235
Dog with a knife solos Raygust

>>280693011
I’m pretty sure Ashihara mentions something about that in this volume.

>>280693751
You're conflating speed and precision. The shorter the activation time, the longer the range. But that doesn't increase damage. Hitting with the tip does that. Tachikawa exlicitly says "too close" about his senku against the crab. And he wouldn't even consider the possibility that senku could damage it if scorpions could reliably stop it.

>>280693924
>second invasion Suzunari is without Murakami
now that I think about it Kuruma's evolution now makes a lot of sense, he figured it out from all the invasion experience as back line gunner.

>>280691371
whats skanda called in the raws?

>>280693011
Yuma seems to get away with killing girls. He slices up Akane, stabs Kitora, and shanks his brown, tomboy, future gf twice. I suppose it's a bit different since it's "not real", but they're pretty explicit kills.

>>280694094
it breaks the scorpion and the damage still goes through but it reduces is dramatically and prevents the clean cut.

>>280694114
Kako has very long arms.

>>280694094
NTA but iko did hit kuga right at the tip, the three oji's squad right behind him didn't get hit, and it still went through both of kuga's scorp and slashed his main body.
raygust can definitely block senkuu tho since it is developed later as a competition to kogetsu, no point of that if the shield form still job to senkuu anyway

>>280693546
Konami thighs

>>280693011
funny how it works because umefujos like abusive boys, they just have to be hot

>>280694241
I still don't get the point of translating idaten to skanda, they're both equally nonsense words to an English speaker.

>>280694094
In general senku should be impossible to block with two scorpions. That Ikoma scene is a rare fuck up from Ashihara. The only explanation is that Yuma was simply at the very edge of Ikoma's range because Ikoma messed up his distance so it only cut Yuma a little.
Ko's senku can easily cut through five of Hyuse's escudo later and Yuma and Hyuse are still forced to dodge it after that, and Ko is just a regular senku user not an expert like Shinoda, Ikoma or Tachikawa.
Escudo's whole thing is being tough to break and ccorpion has the worst durability of any attacking triggers all the way down at D so it should break instantly.
Senku is also never blocked by a border trigger once in the whole series outside of that one outlier. Every single person dodges it because it is impossible to block.

>>280694489

>>280694525
Nice side effect. Can read manga while shitposting without losing focus on either.

>>280694525
>can use both sides of my brain side effect
That’s cool

>>280694489
>>280694525
>gets solved after a single attack
No wonder no one else uses it.

>>280694447
density wise scorpion should be better than escudo, with senku you only need to stop its momentum for an instance, and that what scorpion does. escudoes are just not dense enough to do it and so they get cut without any issues.

>>280694489
>idaten can be easily countered by anyone with an attacker trigger
>attackers already have an advantage in close combat over shooter and sniper trigger users
What is the point?

>>280694684
Surprise attacks.
Or give it to Nasu and let her input the trajectory as she sees fit.

>>280694684
Easier said than done I suppose, not to mention she was very obvious with its use.

>>280694631
Escudo is made for pure defense and scorpion is made for offense and is notoriously brittle. That scene is just a small mistake from Ashihara.

>>280689641 (OP)
It started already?
I haven't finished my reading of previous volume!

>>280694640
>the living room interior changes from season to season
this makes me shudder.

>>280694684
It's good against trion soliders that don't have the same adaptability as humans. It's probably still pretty good against humans as well, as you've got to both have seen it before to know what's coming, and have the reaction time needed to prepare the counter.

>>280694684
It's only easily countered if you can predict the path being taken.
If, instead of using it for direct attacks (barring surprise attacks) you use it for positioning, you'd remove the easily predictable path.
It is also a good tool to actually close the distance and put an attacker into their optimal range against a shooter or sniper.

>>280694784
escudo is an outdated legacy trigger made to combat ranged fire. scorpion is the new uber hotness. there is no mistake there, it just comes down to density.

>>280694784
Not really, Scorpion is brittle in comparison to other attacker triggers.
But it can still withstand an attack from a kogetsu, while an escudo will get cut up by one even without senku
Escudo is just strong enough to withstand bullets not strong enough to withstand attacker triggers.

>>280693687
If Border is truly in danger, Kido will finally fight.

>nasu's part
Oh yeah I'm excited for THAT

>>280694623
A rank gets to use the experimental/prototype shit.

>>280694901
he will use the forbidden sarary man trigger, stapler-nunchaku

>>280694740
Are they friends now?

>>280695050
Kitora fucking wishes

>>280694883
>>280694888
By this logic, every single time someone uses a senku anyone with two scorpions can block it and only recieve a small scratch and anyone with Kogetsu could just block it with no damage as Kogetsu has a durability of A while scorpion has D. This isn't how anyone acts in the manga though. Every single person at border dodges it and Yuma himself never tries this again against Ikoma even though it works perfectly the first time, instead he tries to dodge it and it gets him killed.
Saying that all the attacker triggers can block a senku just seems to completely contradict how people actually deal with in the manga so I assume it's a mistake in this one isolated scene. If it happens again I'll accept it, but senku comes off as totally unblockable in every other appearance to the point where the isolated scene feels like a mistake.
Even Yuma says that Ikoma's senku was "longer than what I saw in the logs" implying that he was at the very edge of it rather than the scorpions stopping it midway.

>>280694878
Must be the suckiest of the galo triggers (Not including the one that barely gets to do anything).

>>280694705
>>280694740

>>280695485

>>280695531

>>280695421
amusing how this one guy's theme is "jeez our enemies sure are awesome"

>>280695666
he really doesn't like fighting

>>280693260
despinis :DDD

>>280695357
It would be easier to block, especially for raygust, since it has to slash across you.

>>280694458
>>280694489
Idaten seems like it has the potential to be broken. If the activation/flicker time isn't a hard cap, imagine a skilled user using it as an instant gap closer.

Same with Teleporter, really. It's said to be near instant. I don't know why more attackers don't use these optional triggers. Instantly teleporting into close proximity and Scorpioning them would be dirty.

>>280695725
Dude doesn't really have the best luck when fighting indoors.

>>280695711
yes for raygust no for scorpion, the timing is too tight and you have to use both and guess the angle correctly.

>>280695753
Engineers, please. Osamu needs this.

>>280695767
Teleporter makes a noise apparently and has a cooldown.

>>280695753

>>280695850
>lube stops lead bullet

>>280695850
interesting that the slime shield can trigger the lead bullets

>>280695824
A few second cooldown for a 30 meter gap closer would be retarded in any video game. And that's just for long distance, the cooldown is less the shorter.

>>280695767
They're still in testing so only A rankers have them

>>280695790
You know where it's coming from based on where they're holding their sword. Most are even polite enough to go into an iaido pose and telegraph that it's coming horizontally from their non-dominant side.

>>280691125
OMG! it's Konami! The Cutest!

>>280695893
Maybe there's a brief second or two where you can't use another trigger where a skillful attacker could hear you appear behind them and kill you instantly. It does seem really strong.

>>280696033
LOOK AT THAT RANGE

>>280691203
so Raijinmaru was a horse, not a capybara

>>280696033
Chatting while fighting, definitely a bad idea.

>>280696033
It's time for /a/ to apologize to Fujin

>>280695949
range is more than 10 meters, unless its point blank a minute angle change can mean a hit on the head torso, legs or the guy on the other side of the street, with two scorpions you can only cover one area and you better be precise, also while they can pop out of anywhere you still have to use both hands and manually position them with less than a second to do it.

>>280695981
I'm sure teleporting uses a shit ton of Trion

>>280696033
And with this Fujin finally proves that it's worth about as much as Toma or Azuma with a sniper.

>>280696105
Miwa must be ecstatic

>>280696033
>>280696062
and this is why our dear Fujin-chan is a black trigger. she might weak and slutty but clapping some crappy neighbor form the other side of the city is one hell of a flex

>>280696033
>>280696076
I'm sorry, Fujin.

>>280695949
if it is that telegraph just dodge it man, you keep your hand free for other stuff

>>280696173
Thats Fujin-san to you.

Jin probably new about their new bailout function by this point. Interesting that he wouldn't mention it, but presumably it ties into his "have to carefully manage info or people will take bad paths" thing. Especially since he ends up angling to ally with them.

>>280696100
You're comparing this against shielding a sniper shot where you have to figure out the correct few inches of surface area to shield over your entire three dimensional body. Picking the correct few feet to block on one side of your body is baby bitch mode in comparison. And and with raygust you can cover every possiblity if your stance is compact enough.

Neighbors at least have books.

Rate my "mobile sniper" loadout

Main
>Egret
>Shield
>Teleporter
>Grasshopper

Sub
>Hound (Gun)
>Shield
>Bagworm
>Chameleon

I was thinking in using Lightning first but i got the idea that i could modify Egret to sacrifice range for speed like Mikumo did with Asteroid (in his case it was power for speed) and if can't then i'll just add Lightning back, tho it would make the loadout a bit overloaded IMO.

>>280696479
shield you can pop anywhere at will with a thought is just way easier than physical moving two blades in the right place.

>>280696185
If we're operating under the assumption that they can be blocked then dodging it is more dangerous than blocking. A raygust can cover almost your entire body even while standing upright, and kogetsu can cover your vitals. Jumping or ducking is taking the exact same gamble that they're going to swing center mass, only if you're wrong you're dead instead of injured. And jumping gets you shot by snipers.

>>280696595

If you want to make your dream trion loadouts, at least randomize your stats here

Just so it's fair.

>Eh Jin told us not to worry about it
Poor Reghi, never stood a chance

>>280696794
Back to the main event.

>>280696787
actually its slightly better than I stated because my blind ass didn't see the second shield, you'd still burn trion like mad but at least you don't have a death-wish. all in all its extremely trion dependent build that requires high skill to utilize properly, as you would not only need to juggle several mobility triggers but also do your sniper duties.
tl.dr. if you have enough trion to burn into thin air, just be a shooter and shoot people to death with funny bullits.

>>280696761
Our guys have future sight, but even without it everyone would have realized this was just a desperate bluff

>>280696761
Honestly, Jin's foresight aside, they've got a pretty good reason to not fear him. It's just on trigger user and a few small trion soldiers making what's pretty blatantly a diversionary attempt. Plus he's pretty obviously not a black trigger user, or he'd be directly active in the attack and doing a lot more damage. That's not a "drop everything and follow him" threat, that's a "divert a couple of people" threat at best.

>>280693546
Konami is too strong GG

>>280697106
one trigger user can level a city block in a few minutes, with all civilians becoming red mist

>>280693546
Thats why Konami is Tamakoma-1's ACE

>>280697163
for that senku worshiper, here. Vasilissa takes a direct hit from perfect distance Tachikawa's senku and it doesn't do shit. Vassilissa is a normal trigger.

>>280697245

... that takes a fucking black trigger or konami's super special trigger to break (which surprised him).

>>280697261

Manlet bros...

>>280697270
yeah, normal triggers are like that. also Konami doesn't have a "super special" that would be shit like Lambiris, she has neighborhood standard.

>>280697245
His trigger is special and he believes only a black trigger has the power to break it in most combat scenarios.

>>280697073
I see, didn't think these >>280696679 would consume that much trion. Do they specify the cost of all weapons and such somewhere?

>>280697432
No only poll he wasn't first, popularity or valentines was the second valentines one.
Shame he's not the "face" of the series.

>>280697211
If he was that powerful and equipped with a trigger good for that, he'd be doing more in battle, not hanging back doing little to nothing. And I didn't say he was no threat, I said he was a minimal threat. They've got two squads outside on standby, they can divert one of those squads or even just a couple people from those squads to deal with him if need be. No reason to have a bunch of people stop mopping up trion soldiers to follow him.

>>280697489

>>280697396
Why is Kazama always so high up
Do the people like shotajiji

>>280697489
Yeah watch s2 as accompaniment to the dump since it's actually quality instead of QUALITY.

>>280697542
It's much better than season 1

>>280697554
Most fuckable border male bar none.

>>280697597
t. phantom hag

>>280697542
Yes. It beats out most action anime too because the choreography is actual choreography and not a bunch of effects and random bs. You get the occasional moment that looks a little off, but overall it's extremely solid.

>>280697457
Scorpion goes through concrete like its paper, senku cuts buildings apart in a single blow, meteor obliterates entire streets. half of border's triggers are enough to cause an instant massacre, This guy was chosen for away mission, he should have trion to spare by default and he has an army of trion soldiers with ranged weapons on his side. A few minutes and the kill count would be in the thousands.
He is absolutely a serious threat but they already have him covered so they don't need to move, and I didn't imply that in any way because narration already explains that they have teleports setup there.

>>280697396
CHADsamu.

It's weird that we don't see more neighbors with side effects. We haven't seen many in total, sure, but I'd expect side effects to me more common in the better soldiers. Only having one from both invasions combined is too few.

>>280697673
My personal headcanon is that giving someone horns makes it impossible for them to have a side effect which is why none of the Aftokrator neighbors had one.

>>280697457
You mean why isn't he personally holding the fort like Koskero or Wen So was?

>>280697542
Yeah, season 2 and 3 are good

>>280697673
It's probably just a writing flaw. Introducing neighbors with useful side effects would complicate the encounters. And if it wasn't useful it wouldn't be worth the time introducing an effect.

>>280694489
JOBBER! SOMEONE TAKE HER OUT OF HERE

>>280697454
no direct costs but even bagworm is a noticeable drain over time, most battles just don't last enough to care. we also know that Kazama squad has special uniform that reduces chameleon trion drain at the cost of increasing total trion body cost and they are all attackers, if they had to do it it implies a lot.

>>280697755
Despinis seems kind of shit. Kazama figures it out in one encounter.

>>280697673
It's not like side effects are necessarily useful for battle. Yuma's side effect is only useful in combat if someone tries to lie to him as a bluff. A lot of work was needed to make Kuchihara's hearing useful. Murakami's side effect is useful for training, not directly in combat. Amo's side effect is good for telling if enemies are strong or weak, but that's about it.

>>280696595
I'd see this as more of a safe sniper geared towards not dying. A sniper's main use for most of these would be escaping if found or avoiding countersniping. Definitely egret over lightning since one of its main benefits, being a weapon you can fight with at closer range, is already covered by hound. Both grasshopper and teleporter are probably overkill. Although, I get the appeal of both. Grasshopper is more efficient for actually moving around, while teleporter is a better escape tool.
Potentially good with the right team and higher than average trion/10. Probably best used by being super aggressive and more willing to take shots since it's made to deal with the subsequent pressure.

>>280697815
It's like Osamu's sekuhara bullets

>>280697859
who is the manlet now?

>>280697859
The Kuga feint

>>280697853
True. He just needs his own Kuga to actually get the kill.

>>280697815
flying blades that can take a hit and still stay around for another pass, probably don't burn too much trion either. seems good.

>>280697890

>Ko is getting mobbed by dogs

>>280694878
Ninpo! Kage bushin no jutsu!

>>280697718
That's possible, but since they are supposed to enhance trion capabilities if anything I would expect side effects to be more likely. Or maybe your headcanon is real and the horns forcibly change side effects into being trion (and sometimes compatibility) boosts.

>>280697758
>>280697821
Good point, it's hard to weave irrelevant side effects into invasion plot lines in a natural way. I just hope we get to see more neighbor side effects when we see more of the neighbor worlds.

>>280697890
>>280697914
Kazama really likes to dismember things. Just like with that poor rabbit.

>>280698080
Yep, that's my wife.

>>280698034
>but since they are supposed to enhance trion capabilities if anything I would expect side effects to be more likely
This is the thought I had and where I realized it was weird that none of them had one and guessed it was the horns messing with or blocking it.

Jin was right again.

>>280696076
sorry Fujin-chan

>>280697721
More or less. They're at least directly engaging the enemy. If Reghi had greater combat power than them, he'd be doing as much or more than them. Instead he's kept to the rear and seems to be doing nothing more than controlling the trion soldiers.
So he wants to be a huge threat that causes Border to redeploy their defense force that's currently stomping the main offense of trion soldiers, but from Border's perspective even without Jin's foresight, they have no reason to believe that he's better in a fight than either of the two they've already defeated, and the small number of small trion soldiers isn't impressive either. If they don't have any traps along the way to handle him, he warrants no more than diverting a standby squad if they want to be through.

>>280697226
"Beard guy" it's like he's channeling Nino for that name

>>280698473
they didn't tell about Yonea as he wasn't worth a report. Guacamole has sent out trion soldiers to observe the enemy and Yonea was the strongest one they saw.

>>280698375

The lead bullets were only there to create lead cube traps. One slot was empty for more trion. Raygust (shield mode) and thruster to ram and throw fists.

Katori.
Taichi.

>>280698884
Forgot Azuma, he's the best.

>>280694684
How much trion does it cost?
If it's not too high, then a gunner or sniper using it for kiting isn't such a bad idea.

>>280695753
Osamu would see this trigger and salivate at how many ways he could be a pain in the ass with it.

>>280693209
Surely somebody would've saved it, no?

>>280699209
I'm still hoping he gets slime trigger.
>make someone slide headfirst into some asteroid mine

>>280699010
Futaba has 6 trion and she spams that shit. Either she is very dumb or its of reasonable cost. However she is also an attacker and doesn't need to shoot bullits so her combat trion expenditure is pretty low.

>>280689657
Tachikawa despiction is a drunk cat coming back home with some gift.

>>280696033

>>280698789
>Leaving in the original SFX and putting the translation next to them looks better in my opinion, even without adding silly errors.
Depends on how it's typeset. I've seen official translations where the typesetting put the translation next to them in small font and that was fine. I've also seen official translations where the typesetting put the translation:
-next to them in the same size font
-making sure not to cover the Japanese SFX, even though that often left them covering more of the actual art
-thinking it was a great idea to put the English SFX in between the two halves of a Japanese SFX that'd been split apart.. covering up whatever the Japanese SFX had been split to avoid covering up.

As you can imagine, the second way of doing it is far more annoying than either having only english or only japanese SFX.

>>280696356
