The team is finally assembled.

>>280794900 (OP)
Completely fair and balanced. Just like scorpion.

>>280794975
Just realized that Hyuse has yet to discover the wonders of Scorpion.

>>280795142
No, he knows. He used it to kill Yotaro.

>>280795142
He's been watching the T2 matches, he's seen Yuma's bullshit

>>280795142
Scorpion is bullshit, but Hyuse is a human, not a monkey like Yuma.

>>280795226
>Hyuse is a human
Anon, I...

>>280795291
Are you saying canadians are not like us?

>>280795291
Canadians rights!

>>280795226
Anyone who resides in meeden is a monkey by default

DAY OF THE RAKE WHEN?TOO MANY FUCKING CANDIANS IN BORDER!

>>280795393
who let the crab out this time?

>>280795393
Big words for a rad.

Miwa won't like this...

I know that Tamakoma rotates the day when they cook, but why Tamakoma 2 never cooks?
Konami is curry day (Yuma's favorite day I bet).
Reiji is meat day.
Jin is hotpot day.
Karasuma is italian day.
Rindou is Hamburger day.

>>280795393
Not of it has horns.

>>280795904
Do any of the T2 members even know how to cook?
I can't even imagine what Hyuse would prepare.

>>280795904
maybe the older members like cooking?

>>280795904
I would not trust what Yuma or Hyuse cook to be safe for human consumption.

>>280795904
because they are busy training & dealing with rank wars. also
>Yuma's cooking
fried meat, probably burned
>Osamu's cooking
he buys takeout
>Chika's cooking
2 tubs of rice

>>280795904
They're still in kouhai status. When they're expected to start having meal prep days that's when you know that shit is finally getting real.

>>280792333
This remains one of the sickest moves Yuma's pulled off desu. Just...

In the middle of the battlefield literally falling apart, casually use Grasshopper on a piece of flying debris to make a dude trip mid-air. Who /does/ that, man?

His years of battlefield experience really do make him one of the biggest threats around.

>>280795995
Nah, osamu helps out with cooking for phase one of the away squad test. So at least he can make something with instructions, but chika yuma and hyuse are hopeless.

>>280796142
Everyone can use grasshopper, almost nobody can master it like Yuma.

>>280795995
I wonder if Chika's love for rice is due to its high calory.

>>280796142
It's my favorite one. It exemplifies the absurd level of resourcefulness and situational awareness that sets him apart from the other smart characters with clever ideas.

Yuma should really pick up spider himself. He has years of experience with his Chain seal, and it means he can set himself up.
>ignore Osamu to chase Yuma
>Osamu sets up wire zones
>ignore Yuma to chase Osamu
>Yuma sets up wire zones

>chika's focus shield is the size of her whole body
Fair and balanced

>>280795974
Osamu knows how to cook.
Chika knows how to make rice.
Hyuse knows how to eat like a savage.
Yuma loves to eat Konami's chicken curry (favorite food).

>>280796494
How is that thing a focused shield?

>>280796485
Narratively, Yuma won't pick spider because it will make Osamu useless.

>>280789071
when was this

>>280796529
Yeah, it doesn't even cover the most important part, her thighs

>>280796494
Have you tried not being a trionlet?

>>280785184
AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Talking about shields, are Afto shields stronger or it's because they are ahead on the shield tech line?

>>280797129
That smile.
Now that I think about it, Chika is always smling while shooting and when she is runs away after shooting.

>>280796485
Nah, right now Kuga is extremely important in either stalling enemies for wire setup or scoring kills in chaos. Enemies aren't going to approach him if he sets up the wires himself, they'd ignore him and go after the two weaker links who would be defenseless.

>>280785184
Seems like the chillest squad by far.

>>280786593
He can do that with an overhead cut? I thought it's a quickdraw sword technique.

>>280797377
I think what he did was activating senku by drawing his sword. Holding off the Senku until it's overhead and finish the activation by doing the overhead slash.

>>280786661
He's probably a kendo guy or something. It's not mentioned in his profile last volume though.

>>280796494
If she ever goes the infamous Meteor + Meteor composite bullet she would create a portable ICBM.

>>280797129
Lightning's smartphone screen is so helpful.
Ibis and Egret could never

>>280797466
It's mentioned that he learend Iai techniques from his grandfather.

>>280797471
I think that non trionlets can guard against it if they see it coming by activating double fixed shield.
Kitora, Yoneya and Osamu will die, but the rest should be fine.

>>280787091
Kek, the other teams look like sweating tryhards compared to these guys. The chillest of all chills.

>>280796485
He should get a custom trigger that lets him recreate the one he had in the neighborhood, but with the blade being capable of scorpion bullshit.

>>280797377
It's just a trigger that can be activated during any swing. I don't think we've had an explanation why they sheathe and then draw it. My guess it takes some type of mental focus to use and an Iai technique helps with the process, which explains why we don't see consecutive uses of it other than Shinoda.

>>280797599
Kai didn't give a shit about the loss and was cheerful as always. Iko and his team are such gigachads.

>>280797109
More trion from horns. And less trion used up for other things.

>>280797129
is it possible to edit the caution to cute?

>>280797599
And they are a top tier squad.
It's not as if they are lazy, but they are clearly in it for fun and are stronger than all the other B-ranks (Nino and Kage doesn't count).

>>280787286
Broccoli guy is the shadow commander, pretty neat.

>>280796494
That's just because she's small, don't worry about it.

>>280787493
KWAB

>>280797744
Suwa's focused shield covers only his head.

>>280787751
DOUBLE KWAB

>>280797762
Yeah, but Suwa has a giant cube for a head.

What is the optimal Trion body size? Small seems good cause better shields and harder to hit, but taller people get better reach and longer legs.

>>280797683

>>280797708
Yeah, I think an important part of their strategy is to divert attention towards Ikoma and Kai (and Oki since he's good-looking I guess), while Water God is the brain and moves the pieces as he does in shogi.

>>280791515
Brutal.

>>280797917
Thank you.

>>280766568
>Konami likes ugly men
Does this mean rindo is ugly?

>>280797917
Good work with the screentone, that stuff drives me nuts when I'm trying to make edits.

>>280797926
Funny how the story has put some attention on people who are afraid of hurting others because they imagine the gorefest, then you have stone cold killer moments like this and realize Border enables people to do so.
I wonder if we are gonna see mentions of war crimes being commited by A-Rank teams

>>280797917
Goddamnit I was too slow

>>280798092
I'll take this one too.

>>280797873
Since all trion bodies have superhuman strength, I think small is superior. The greater mobility, smaller target, and greater shield coverage more than make up for the lack of reach. Especially when you don't even have to use a melee weapon and two of the three have a way of massively extending their reach to the point that the difference of shorter limbs is negligible.

>>280792051
Oooh, Scorpion on the right and Bagworm on the left. He's switching from warrior to assassin.

>>280797873
Smaller is almost always better.
The only time when being taller is good is if you're an attacker, but even then the extra reach is negligible.

>>280798159
You are faster if you are bigger since your legs are longer.

>>280797129
The demon sees you

Yuma has one slot left in his Main Trigger, right? What would you think suits him best, were he to choose something?

>>280798415
He'll get Konamis experimental option and we'll see a connector boosted scorpion.

>>280798415
Teleporter.

>>280797980
He is in the middle of popularity.
Konami goes to an ojou sama school.
Konami spends a lot of time with Jin, Reiji and Karasuma.

>>280798415
Chameleon, seems good for Scorpion users if you have the Trion

>>280798379
The super strength means everyone can move as fast as their coordination will allow. Yuma is a shrimp and he's fast as fuck. On the other hand, grasshopper is stated to launch lighter people farther and faster, which should translate to greater acceleration in general even with normal running and jumping.

>>280798545
Longer legs means longer strides so you are faster as long as you grasshopper is not in play.

>>280798415
A shooter trigger that isn't Meteor

>>280798651
Scorpion is a shooter trigger for Yuma.

>>280798415
Custom Grasshopper once he reaches A rank.

>>280798528
After thinking about it more, I think Spider would have some potential too. It's sorta like a shitty Chain seal, so it'd be easy for him to get used to it. Also, he could pull off some wacky tricks with Scorpion.

Haven't been keeping up since like volume 3, how many people are new readers? And how much of the discussion is just trion posting?

>>280798816
>how many people are new readers?
Given the volume of questions that are obviously answered in later issues, we've got a few new anons here. A few were filtered by Osamu's weakness.
>And how much of the discussion is just trion posting?
Borderchan is more than just a meme

>>280798816
Discussion is honestly running the gambit. Trigger rankings/discussion, loadout critiques, team comp mock fights both from existing characters and custom anon squads, endless arguing about Katori Squad group dynamics

Wasn't following the daily, did you guys just open afterparty thread for every volume?
I thought yesterday was special because of fucking four eyes

>>280798936
I think it started with round 4

>>280798936
I think it started from a storytime thread couldn't finish a volume so OP made a second thread
Then anons just decided to have an afterparty every day

>>280798936
It started with the wall snipe bullshit.

>>280798862
>>280798901
Sounds like a grand ol' time. I should really catch up then.

>>280786872
This is fucking brutal.
Yuma is small and fast enoough to hide in the middle of chaos without Chamaleon, then he uses Bagworm to hide from radar and assassinate someone when they never expect it.

>>280786735
>>280787808
Lying in the battlefield. The worst thing is that even if you know that he is lying (side effect), you still don't know what bullet is.

>>280795649

>>280799199
Now we just need an extremely racist neighbor to appear in the upcoming Away Mission arc.

>>280799305
Forgot to add: I know Enedorad exists, but I don't think he will join the ship. But if he does I will laugh real hard at the potential banter between him and Miwa.

>>280799305
>Neighbor who suffered because of Rinji's (and maybe Hatohara's) war crimes
Yes please

>>280799199
>With Fujin you can kill anyone you want.
Okay, this is being delusional.

>>280799367
Enedorad is going to aftokrator he wants his black trigger back afterall.

>>280799305
A racist neighbor girl who bonds with Miwa through racism...

>>280799485
N******r and M****n romance.

>>280798415
Another Scorpion
>But he can't activ...
ANOTHER SCORPION

>>280799404
Yeah what does he think Fujin is, Scorpion?

>>280799433
A rad with Vorvoros sounds equal parts funny and scary.

>>280797980
Konami doesn't like ugly men, that's not what the chart is suggestion. It's saying she cares more about a guy having a good personality over him being a pretty boy.

>>280766568
I'm surprised Usami wants someone well behaved, you'd think she'd want someone to fool around with.

Even the anime thinks Fujin sucks

>>280800408
Fujin-chan doesn't suck when Jin uses her, which is 99% of her screentime anyway

>Just have foresight and Fujin doesn't suck, i swear!!!
Fujinkeks...

>>280800408
Fujin-chan is the best sucker. She sucks every agent in the base.

>>280800573
But it's true
Fujin-chan's range is extreme long
Only someone who can see future can use her to her potential

>>280798862
>>280798901
I really do love how much discussion WT prompts.
Borderchan threads are some of my favorite on /a/.

>>280800134
If you want to mess with someone, the best targets are the retards and the meek.

A person died to make that shitty trigger btw

>>280800601
The higher-up pretty much let Jin use Fujin-chan again and again anyway
Only the elite Jin can turn her into a dangerous weapon

>>280800603
Jin could probably get better results if he used a sniper trigger, shitty Fujin can still be blocked by regular shields

20 trigger users, maybe more.

>>280798714
Wouldn’t he just switch back to his black trigger when he becomes A rank?

>>280800603
It seems pretty fast. Enough to essentially be a weird sniper trigger. And at super long range the reload thing wouldn't be as much of an issue. If it didn't get stopped by shields it would be pretty good, if niche.

>>280800669
No because then he'd be S Rank and kicked out of Tamakoma-2

>>280800669
No, being a BT user makes you S rank and no longer eligible for joining a squad for rank wars. Not even T-1 can compete in them thanks to their busted tamakoma triggers.

>>280800645
Fujin has a better range than Egret, more durable and lighter than a Kougetsu and it can imitate a Senku if there are walls nearby.
Problem: Having better range than an Egret is only useful for specific situation in which you need an operator to give you the specific coordinates.
Being lighter than a Kougetsu doesn't give you that much of an advantage, for strong people the difference is negligible.
Senku is stronger (albeit harder to use).

>>280794900 (OP)
What a nice team.
Let's remember that Osamu and Kido made the implicit decision to deal with Hyuse just before reaching Aftokrator.

Jin with Fujin vs Viza with Organon, could be an interesting fight.

>>280800793
>Problem: Having better range than an Egret is only useful for specific situation in which you need an operator to give you the specific coordinates.
Which isn't the problem for the elite Jin
>Being lighter than a Kougetsu doesn't give you that much of an advantage, for strong people the difference is negligible.
Again, Jin prefer light blades which was why he made Scorpion
Fujin-chan x Jin is the one true ship of WT

>>280800826
Stalemate. Jin has zero reason to approach Viza. But Organon can definitely block Fujin blades and can clear out the area around it to limit its ability to attack.

>>280800826
Viza wins. That thing is a raid boss.

>>280797864
heh

Why was the Ikoma doodle a Star Platinum

Border Trigger doesn't seem that bad compared to the Neighbor's.
Each Border Trigger by itself is weak, but they can combine mutiple of them making them very flexible.
We only saw Neighbors using like 3 triggers together at the same time instead of the massive 8 that Border can use.

>>280799199
He'll fall in love with a neighbour when he gets saved by one after getting injured in a warzone.

>>280794900 (OP)
this team is such bullshit

I expect Four Eyes's future Tamakoma loadout to remove Bail Out
That shitty megane seems like he would do just that

>>280801110
Yeah, a full border trigger can be pretty strong and versatile. If you compare Ranbanein to an agent with high trion, not even horn level, like Ninomiya, the difference is not that great. And that's without even considering bailout.
And people talk about lambiris being basically every border trigger in one. Well, that can already exist and it's called full arms.

>>280801419
But they are nice enough to give you Mikumo as a free point

>>280801448
Border trigger firepower is weaker, but they are more versatile.

>>280801459
4 eyes will tie you up with wires and touch you all over the place wit his asteroids before you get his point.

>>280792379
>won Valentine poll
>won favorite character poll
What do women see in this lame four eyes?

>>280801459
That's what the four eyes want you to think and before you realize you will be rekt by Kuga or Hyuse

>>280801582
Even if you don't think that, you still get rekt, like Oji.

>>280801110
The thing is even if you have a huge technological advantage regarding triggers.
That's not quite enough to make a disparity in combat (regarding small number of units) without the trion to fully take advantage of it.
Galopula cleary had more advanced tech with
>Portable means to summon trion soldiers and control their behaviour to an extent
>Capability to visually change appearance on the fly
>Lead bullet but acts like viper and can be used defensively
>Tunnel creating trigger used to enter the base

But didn't feel like border was suffering a heavy tech disadvantage.
That was feeling was much more prominent against Afto.
>>280801448
>like Ninomiya, the difference is not that great
Ranbanein was capable of firing shots as deadly as Ninomiya's whilst being significantly more maneuverable flying about and also handling sniper fire.
It's a pretty big difference its like if you took Ninomiya and gave him mobility like Yuma, the ability to do as much damage as In full attack while shielding and nullified the effects of things like lead bullets.

>>280801710
To be honest, Ranbanein trigger (Keridon) looked stronger than Fujin. I know it's a horn trigger, but a horn trigger shouldn't be stronger than a Black Trigger.

>>280801710
Ninomiya can also handle sniper fire. Boy has some beefy shields. It's true he doesn't have anything comparable to Ranbanein's mobility. But, in keeping with border's design philosophy, his ranged options trade raw power for versatility. It would be easier for Ninomiya to fire on Ranbanein and score a hit without exposing himself than vice versa. And Ninomiya has more trion than Reiji. So, if he had the coordination for it, he could actually have Yuma's mobility with full arms and some grasshoppers.
All this with no horn boost and the substantial trion burden of bailout. Aftokrator is hard carried by high trion values. Meanwhile border is managing to squeeze value out of people like Yosuke and Kitora.

I just want to say that WT threads on /a/ are always bangers, and the storytime is no different. Thank you fellow /a/utists. Can't wait for the storytime to reach excel arc.

>>280801442
I know this post is joking, but maybe we will see the "gate" bailout that Galopoula uses in the near future? It seems more convenient and perhaps consumes less trion.

>>280798415
Skanda or whatever it's called. And he programs it manually every time.

>>280802043
I would think it uses more trion, but it's entirely possible it would only use the trion from the base receiving the agent instead of the agent's. In that case, the agents just have to power the bailout battery beforehand, and can use their FULL POWA on their loadout itself. But that's just speculation.

>>280802043
>>280802097
As much as they were complaining about the "new trigger" I think it eats up comparable trion to bailout.

Thread theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTY273b-238

>>280802032
I love these threads, even in the most dramatic (Katori squad discussion) moments, it still is comfy.

>>280802146
Ah, that's true. Still, with how Afrokraftor had something like that with their black trigger, I do think it is possible to offload the cost to the base, even if Galopoula doesn't have that yet.

>>280801561
Osamu is the successful result of "I can fix him".

>>280801964
>Aftokrator is hard carried by high trion values
I feel like that does their triggers a disservice. Afto designed their triggers around the fact that they have high trion values to make the most of it.

Ranbein would not have been as much of an issue as he was in the invasion if he had even something like full arms.
Because even if you slotted in a grass hopper you're still significantly less mobile (not to mention full arms would just add weight that makes grasshopper worse performing) and much more prone to attacks (you can't remain airborne for long under constant fire as trion bullets will delete grasshopper).

I got curious about what World Trigger fans like in Japan and the best way to figure out is porn.
90% of World Trigger porn is yaoi.
Are we reading a manga for girls?

>>280802457
Anon, 100% of shonen manga with primarily male characters are consumed by women.

>>280802457
The thing is that the male audience of World Trigger are autsists who nut over excel and theorycrafting most of the time compared to the women. (Keyword: MOST) That includes us. But also >>280802535

>>280802457
>90% of World Trigger porn is yaoi.
hopefully there are koala/oku doujins in there

>>280793738
Agents also gain points as part of doing well on missions like during the invasion, right? So Tachikawa's 45k probably includes all the away missions. It's hard to think he got that high just from fighting other people considering the diminishing return on points.

>>280802352
I actually think grasshopper is superior to the general issue Afto flight trigger. They're not really able to change directions and move out of the way of stuff very quickly. They seem to have a lower top speed than at least a small person like Yuma or Shun. They can't boost an ally out of danger. They can't launch other objects. And I'm fairly certain theirs eats through trion like mad. Ranbanein's is better, mostly in terms of speed. But he still got trolled by a spastic 14 year old with 5 trion and less than a year of combat experience.
But yes, they definitely design their triggers the way they do to take advantage of their high trion values. I just think the result of that is that, pound for pound, they don't get as much out of their warriors and their trion as border does.

>>280797864
>Q.072: Trion cubes were called ‘Suwa’, but what does Suwa-san think of this?
He’d feel bad for Kitora or Chika if they were to be teased for it, so it doesn’t really matter if it’s happening to him. But Kazama’s getting a beating. Is what he’s thinking.

>>280791445
>>280791472
>>280791495
>>280791515
Oji can beat Osamu with only one hand while focusing his Hounds on Chika.

>>280802803
In close quarters 1v1 combat Grasshopper is definitely better, but flying allows you to go high distance (beyond snipers) and bomb their strategic locations.

>>280802274
? There was nothing to fix.

>>280797471
> Meteor + Meteor
We never see that kind of bullet

>>280801110
Also, Border Triggers have bailout.
Which, as we find out next volume I think, costs a ton of trion just to have. Every Border Trigger is nerfed inherently in terms of combat just for the ability to fight another day if you lose.

>>280802457
World Trigger managed to completely dodge the main shonen audience of teenage boys and instead grab every single other audience.

>>280802702
Other people get mission points too. And despite the constant influx of points from training sessions that the other anon mentioned, the scores for what is considered good remain relatively stable. Which tells me that Tachikawa is siphoning off most of those extra points. Points work their way up through the lower ranks until they get to his A rank buddies where he feeds on them.

>>280802803
it's a difference between explosive speed and more precise control, you cant exactly hover with grasshopper nor doing fine curve nor braking

I think it’s clear that Osamu needs to do more solo rank wars
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want him to score or anything like that.
I just want Four-Eyes to be able to defend himself better to buy more time
Take this Oji match for example, the experience of dodging and defending in solo rank wars would do wonder

>>280803325
That popularity graph that was posted the other day had world trigger at a pretty even split between male and female with a relatively young audience. I think teenage boys can appreciate the tactical esports fight autism.

>>280802457
>80% of relevant characters are male
>Main heroine is a cute tiny girl with thighs and nothing else
Perhaps

>>280803382
Being in the middle in a big survey like that one actually is a strong indicator. WT is a phenomenon in Japan and it seems here in the west people haven't realized so.
>>280803051
I am investing on Kashio. He's the newest one of the squad and I hope he can grow and bring something good in terms of synergy

>>280801442

>>280801061
It's actually iron ikoma word play with (tatsu)hito, tetsu is iron in Japanese

>>280803206
With the zero sum way trion bullets work, I think if you were to get outside the range of snipers, your own attacks on targets on the ground would also do minimal damage. And no one other than Ranbanein, whose trigger came with extra flight capabilities, flew up all that high. They just floated around easily within reach of people even without grasshopper.
>>280803367
Hovering is overrated. Even grasshopper users get shot out of the sky by snipers or, as in this match, cut down with senku. To stop moving is to invite death. That's why Ranbanein's was better since he could actually maneuver fairly well and at a good speed. But it was still not as nimble or versatile as grasshopper. Skilled grasshopper users can approximate flight. Ranbanein cannot approximate pinball no matter how good he is.

>>280802457
its one of its charm.
WT has a very wide variety of males from age bracket, personality, and appearance.
not to mention, Ashihara takes care of his characters very well. pretty much everyone in his large ensemble of cast isn't a throwaway compared to any other series out there.

Next anime season when?

>>280802457
WT doesn't exactly have many prominent female characters, there's mostly just Chika and she's hardly popular with either males or females. If anything I mostly see women 'like' Chika by proxy because they like how Ema acts around her.

>>280803589
I can see your point if it is a strict 1v1 but I would bet on a squad of afto flying soldier covering each other against a squad of grasshopper everytime, air supremancy is way too important in war game

>>280794900 (OP)
man i wish ashihara would release a new updated edition of bbf at every end of the arc.
it's pretty much free money at this point.
include some pin up images of agents on their off time and copies will be sold out instantly

>>280803589
>With the zero sum way trion bullets work, I think if you were to get outside the range of snipers, your own attacks on targets on the ground would also do minimal damage.
we already had trion landmine, trion cube bomb dropping is possible

>>280802457
At least we got pic related from aiue oka and 2 doujins from Eromazun (Ma-kurou) but it world trigger some faggots here

>>280803284
Considering that Asteroid + Asteroid increases piercing, Meteor + Meteor would probably increase the explosive power. If Chika made it, it could probably wipe out a small castle.

Ah this is cool, I didn't know they had an orchestral performance. Battle theme sounds hype live.

Other than Yuma, Jin and Inukai, who else at Border has a villainous aura to them?

>>280802457
I always check WT doujin when I go to Japan and there are some weird combos and a lot of gen compared to the proportion of R18. I got a few T2 gen, Mikumo+Katori, Jin+Hyuse, something with Ikoma, Kuga and Satori, Kage and Inukai and then a 3 way Zoe Kage and Inu for morbid curiosity.

>>280802457
T2 is Chika's harem, all 3 of them are hot dudes who will protect her to the death. You are welcome.

>>280805219
Chika's most popular pairings are with Ema and Nino though

>>280805280
because they are her most recent additions. Chika's harem is huge

>>280797693
They are also mostly out of region recruits and not locals.

>>280803378
he doesn't have time for this, yeah he needs to but he just can't get there in time. so its better for him to devote most of his efforts in other directions while keeping in mind that he must grind wherever he has free time

I can fix Rokuro

>Hyuse's master is a woman

Holy shit

>>280805966
Tsukimi Ren younger sister uses it and she's in the lower B rank.

>>280804151
I suppose he will do another one once he's done showing off all a-rank teams and urushima.

>>280806595
Can't wait for Urushima's (probably huge simp) backstory.
Dude is a legitimately strong agent from the looks of it, but everyone hates him for obvious reasons.

>>280803906
>Next anime season when?
More likely than you think
The entire first phase of the Away Mission Selection Test can easily fill a 12-episode cour

>>280806609
Wakamura and Hyuse would be even worse animated.

>>280806692
At least the animation would look pretty most of the time since the arc barely had any action

>>280804192
Those would get shot out of the air with substantially less trion than what went in to them.

Here are some serious chapter discussion threads from JP World Trigger fans if you're interested

>>280806811
Suwa with his hair down looks like a completely different person, if it wasn't for his sideburns I thought he was Kuruma.
Almost as bad as Yuba magically becoming an ikemen when he lets his hair loose.

>>280806806
it would look rad as fuck though

>>280806741
I think they will have to expand the battle sim segments quite a bit to keep things interesting.

>>280806867
You are getting 13 episodes of people doing homework while chibis blow up and you WILL like it.

>>280806867
>>280806884
There's one last rank war match from Nasu and Katori squad at the start. It will be fine

>>280803943
>Kitora

>Kumagai
>Kako
>Kirei
>Kumagai
>Katori
>Teruya
>Obishima

And that's just female fighters with speaking roles off my head, not counting nameless fighters or operators. By shonen standards, world trigger has a massive amount of prominent female characters and treats them well, especially considering that jump editors told him to avoid male vs female fights.

>>280807107
Some of those are REALLY tertiary characters.

>>280807114
Ashihara often gives more depth to tertiary characters than many mangaka give to their main characters...

>>280805896
I don't think he has the mental capacity to do shooter cubes effectively.

>>280806741
Isn't toei all aislop now?

>>280805896
He needs to learn how to be a good flanker before getting shiny new toys.
At most, getting a meteor is a good idea.

>>280807322
Honestly, I think he's just not suited for his kit.
I don't even know why he wants to be shooter/gunner.
With his skills, he should ask Oji help for houndmaxxing and putting pressure so Katori can do her job better, and probably add spider to his kit since it's basically free and he has some map analyzing skills.

>>280807354
Hound + Asteroid seems like a great mix for any agent that isn't a big fighter themselves. Asteroid for a simple straight shot, Hound for anyone out of your league to at least apply pressure.

>>280807397
I honestly hope Ashihara's payoff for the huge shit this arc took on him is worth it, it's basically wakamura's version of the wallsnipe.
This is shonen and he will deliver, I feel.

>Oji squad didn't generate as much excitement as Katori squad
Was the 2-year hiatus right after this really THAT painful?

>>280807505
Katori is just a toxic dramafest.
Oji is the super stable team and only oji stands out because he's a fun dude.

>>280807114
nta but that anon just listed out combatants, quite a few female operators have much bigger roles. Sakurako, Ui, Shiori and the operators who are not as prevalent still get to do things once in a while, like Hiyami or Kon.

>>280807505
Katori is fun. Oji is just edgeless Osamu

>>280807354
>I don't even know why he wants to be shooter/gunner.
I usually just assume most gunners are not coordinated enough to be attackers, not smart enough to be shooters, lack the temparemant and skills to be a sniper, but are still good shots and have enough big picture thinking to act as supports. While I agree with some other anons that have said he might be an OK sniper, it does seem like he has the most aptitude for being a gunner.
He just needs to learn better positioning and situational awareness so he can be a better support. That's not really something new triggers will fix, but throwing on spider wouldn't hurt.

>>280807505
Katori squad is so dysfunctional that is fun. There are also many people who are like Wakamura and they either hate him or try to absolve him of everything.
There are a lot of Katori simps who also try to absolve her of everything.
Then there is Hana who is listened by everyone but does nothing to fix the situation which is funny.

>>280807505
I like the Ikoma Oji match more than the Kakizaki Katori match. But the latter is much easier to argue about due to how controversial Katori squad is.

>>280807671
The Oji match had way better plays, mostly from Oji, because Ikoma got super cucked in plays.

>>280807760
Mizukami was adapting to Osamu and Oji's play constantly while leaving the major choices to Ikoma.
Ikoma wants something, Mizukami gives him the plan. Ikoma's squad tactics were decent.

>>280807779
... and then he got a brick to the face.
Can't say he doesn't deserve it.

>>280807760
Ikoma squad is entertaining even if they're not making sick plays.

>>280807809
They are strong enough to not need sick plays.
Minamisawa is an idiot, but strong in a 1vs1. Not on an ace level, but he is still a master class.
Ikoma is a senku master.
Oki is an ikemen.
Mizukami is a good tactician who can hold his own in combat.
Super Cute Mario knows when her idiots needs to retreat so the squad is fine as long as they listen to her.

>>280807885
>They are strong enough to not need sick plays.
And they got anally raped by them.
Had Oji not gone for the yuma kill I feel Ikoma would have lost to Yuuma with both legs.

>>280807885
>Oki is an ikemen.
This doesn't help in battles whatsoever

>>280807901
It makes everything feel nicer.
Also the girls at border know his best fit.

>>280807901
Women hesitate to kill him.

>>280807901
Weren't you listening? It means he can get away with shooting girls.

>>280807949
Oki refuses to shoot girls. We know for a fact he could have offed Chika, he chose not to.

>>280807993
he's good looking so it's okay

>>280807993
Time to get some lessons from inukai on shooting defenseless kids even if they match is done and points won't even be affected.

>>280807895
Points don't always tell the whole picture. Ikoma and Mizukami had figured out how to pretty much entirely invalidate the wire zone without opening themselves up to sniper fire. And they had Oki stalking Chika anyway. It didn't end up mattering because of the three way free for all, but T-2's strategy was just simply not that effective against Ikoma squad.

>>280808025
Ikoma is just a good counter to wires. with Mizukami being their weakest link as a pure combatant they are solid all around.

>>280808003
>defenseless
Between hound, shield and her massive trion advantage if anything she should have gotten the kill.

>>280808148
Chika believes human beings are good!
Lesson learned.

>>280807114
Yes, but that doesn’t really change his overall point that there are a lot more female characters than just Chika. Some of whom are fairly prominent, like Konami who consistently places like third in popularity pollls, and Nasu and Katori who are B-rank captains who get a fair bit of focus.

>>280808148
in that scenario she was completely defenseless.

>>280808168
Girls I know who like World Trigger barely cares about the female characters.
The ones they like are Konami, Katori (as a character) and that's it.

>>280802457
Smooth-brained cavemen are scared of spreadsheets, so we're left with the few intellectual men. Then the rest, probably the majority, are fujo because of the pretty boys.

>>280808183
>encase self with one shield trigger
>still strong enough to resist gunfire
>houndo

>>280808254
There are yumes too
Chika is their self-insert

>>280808258
Inukai wouldn't defend himself and he knows what he did. girl was sweating bullets from stress, literally in no position to even think about shooting anyone, she was just sitting, breathing, contemplating what she had done.

>>280808254
>>280808190
>>280802457
World trigger fans are almost evenly split between the genders (look for it slightly above the 30 year old line), So i guess guys are in it for e-sport autism, girls being cute and interesting worldbuilding, while girls are in it for boys being passionate about their interests, the past history between the characters, and a cast so massive one of them probably matches their preferences.

>>280808258
Inukai had no reason to call her, he could have shot her without her noticing.
Chika was tired and exhausted from her first kill and she also knew that Inukai could have killed her, but decided to congratulate her. Unlike her teammates, Chika is not evil.

>>280808411
Forgot image

>>280807505
Recent chapters have thrown up more questions about Katori squad and cast doubts on assumptions many of us made for years, so it's natural there's been very active discussion there.

As we know, Border is mostly full of hypercompetent teenagers who seem very mature, so a dysfunctional team is a nice change.

>>280808428
not quite, unlike her teammates Chika has shame but she is still very evil. The girl smiles through the entire battle.

>>280808428
>>280808593
Both of you are wrong. Fighting to win is neither evil nor shameless. It's simply the truth

THAT CHIKA GIRL NEEDS RAPE CORRECTION FOR ENTICING ME WITH HER SHINY DELICIOUS THIGHS! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

>>280808651
T-2 are not evil. But they are the villain of everyone else's spokon story.

>>280808691
Shut the FUCK up, Ema

>>280808651
she is not fighting to win, she is fighting to turn her enemies into lead statues, because its funny. I'd imagine she giggles every time her targets cuts off their limbs to escape.

>>280808702
Ema's life is hell as he is forced to watch. let him cope

>>280808697
T-2 has 2 N******r, a nuke and a sekuhara.
One of those N******r was responsible of killing and kidnapping members of their team and the shameless sekuhara king recruited him just to win.
T-2 is beyond evil.

>>280808738
Osamu thinks of her like a sister, Yuma's only love is scorpion, and Hyuse is Hyuse. Ema has a clear shot.

>>280808751
T2's fighting style is a mix of bondage, petrification, public harassment & disembowelment. Hyuse was the only normal murderer in their ranks until Jin gave him constriction/encumbrance fetish and he started doing those escudo things to people.

>>280808841
you were warned.

>>280808860
Shibari and Molestation.
Guro.
Petrification.
Kabeshiri.
Yuma is the only sick fuck in their evil group.

New Ikoma squad merch. Super cute Mario!

>>280808959
Now this is an otome game squad.

>>280809005
Maori with the energetic shota, the funny stone faced guy, the ikemen and the smart manipulator. The 4 of them calling her Super Cute Mario every single day.
Super Cute Mario is living the life.

>>280791645
This thing is not a meteor.

>>280808841
>Ema has a clear shot.

>>280808933
nothing can be done, she is small and cute, capable but somewhat inexperienced and surrounded by people who need & rely on her while also being protective and caring. too delicious of a target

Chika is for Osamu.

>>280809386
Osamu is for K*T*R*

>>280809403
She only wants Karasuma anon.

>>280809439
I'm told there's quite a line.

>>280809005
>one good looking guy
kek.
Kinuchika's original squad is the real otome-game thing. Kusakabe's current squad also counts.

>>280809439
Karasuma is for Konami.

>>280809462
If only there was a way to skip it...

>>280809491
Kitora would seethe once she realizes that she could have gotten her ideal date if she was nicer to Four eyes.

>>280809513
Someone should spread the rumour that being nice to him gets you closer to Karasuma.
Osamu's harem life would start.

>>280809439
Hairstyle & glasses are the only differences, otherwise clones and Osamu haven't reached his peak yet.

>>280809610
That's Ashihara's sameface syndrome at work, especially early on.

>>280809481
>Kusakabe
Other than Shun being cuter than Kai, I think Mario's got the better selection. I don't remember who Kunichika had.

>>280809439
Well too bad Karasuma is only for his part-time jobs

The only romance that Ashihara seems to take remotely seriously is Ema's crush on Chika. Everybody else is treated as a joke.

>>280809733
She had Tachikawa, Izumi and Karasuma.
Top tier picks.

>>280809749
Nino's is treated seriously.

>>280809749
The moment Nino stepped up to support that ship, I knew Ashira would never allow Chika with anyone else.
simps like Ninomiya and Ema are lame though

>>280809788
Ninomiya is treated as a serious cuck.

>>280809811
Nino isn't a cuck. Nothing is set in stone yet. That's why he wants to hear Hatohara's reason from the person herself

>>280809733
>I don't remember who Kunichika had.
Izumi, Karasuma, Tachikawa.
As for Kusakabe, Ryuji is good looking and the running sniper was a former athlete with decent enough face, Shun is a shota puppy as for the last guy, well, he is a sports guy, so the only issue is his face and manners. I'm positively sure if Saki tells him to jump, he would first do it and then ask how high, so it might work out. Girls love to have this type around but not touch them.

Any girl with at least one of them in her harem is a winner. Also, Ashihara is into pettanko. Kitora was supposed to be a flattie and Nasu is a flattie.
>Q.295: Please tell us which characters you view as a hot man, handsome man, beautiful woman, or beautiful girl when you draw them.
People like Torimaru, Narasaka, Arashiyama, Kitora, Ayatsuji-san, Nasu-san, and Ninomiya.

>>280809787
Those are good picks in terms of pure attractiveness, but they're limited when it comes to archetypes. She had two aloof cool guys but no puppy dog or smart, calculating type.

>>280809836
yeah, except the fact that she has Rinji's triplets inside of her. it is over Nino, it really is.

>>280809836
Hatohara, why did you leave me for another man?
Would you have the guts to do that?

>>280809898
I would piss myself laughing in the dumb lion actually takes this route. He would outdo Katori as the biggest clown in border.

>>280809898
The best part is that she KNEW nino would get in deep shit, abd that he's still be into her in Case they ever meet.
Huge woman moment.

>>280809836
Dude, Nini is the King Cuck. His 4/10 girl ran off with a random older guy into a different dimension.

>>280809898
Nino does

>>280809348
Chika looks good here with Hokari, I'm surprised at the lack of fanart showing her with other snipers.

>>280809403
Careful or you'll jinx it, anon

>>280809788
By Nino.

>>280809922
As Ninomiya told Ema in chapter 236, he was already planning to ask Hatohara why she left him. But actually doing it is another story

You'll soon realize Hatohara leaving is quite literally the impetus for most of the shit that goes down in the story.
Also that Jin knew.

>>280809981
I don't see anything wrong here.
There is also 琥太郎 (Kotarou).
We have Kitora and Katori (surnames).
Koutarou and Kotarou (names).

Dump starting
>>280810028
>>280810028

>>280809804
Even before Nino, Ema's squad, Toma, and Izuho also had his back. But I do agree that Nino not only supporting it but going out of his way to do so made it a sure thing. I think it's cute, so I'm all for it.

>>280809924
Funnily, we haven't had a woman moment with more devastating consequences than this one.
Ashihara likes to write his girls composed and rational.

>>280810071
>Composed and rational
Katori Yoko is a composed and rational woman?

>>280810033
When you think about it, if Jin wanted to stop Hatohara he could've easily done it, there's no way, there's no way he didn't saw Hatohara atleast once since he's in HQ most of the time and the Ninomiya squad at the time was A-rank

>>280810060
I will wait until at least 1 chapter is updates.
Thanks dump anon.

>>280810090
Dude knows everyone.
But Hatohara leaving is the whole reason Osamu joined.

>>280810112
Cucking Ninomiya was extremely important for the sake of the world.

>>280810090
No Hatohara leaving means no Rinji leaving means no Osamu and all that entails.

>>280810129
Yep , ntr was part of his master plan.

>>280809871
all 3 are super competent omega elites but this is it.
Karasuma is a teasing guy who is actually a giant softie, he is poor and was his squad's maid, cleaning after them and maintaining the place, brunet, younger, looks = SSS++.
Izumi is all out attacker, charges into things and laughs it off, despite being smart goofs around with Kunichika, blond, younger, looks = A+.
Tachikawa is an aloof, somewhat gloomy retard who lets his crew have fun but turns into a different creature the moment battle is out, light brunet, older, looks = A-.
yeah, she is no Chika who can roll out the fucking list that includes every fuckable male in the border, but its easily the best set.

>>280810087
Every rule has an exception.
>>280810090
Jin wants to start colonies in the neighborhood. He needs those meeden bloodlines to subvert many kingdoms.

>>280809836
>Rinji managed to teach Hatohara how to shoot people
Absolutely ninotriggered

>>280809989
No no, asking that is one thing, the route he has right now is pretty resonance for a stuck up faggot he is. but the
>AIIIEE WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME FOR ANOTHER GUY!!!!!!????????
is something completely different.

>>280810087
yeah, when left to her devises she is almost reasonable.

>>280810090
If I remember correctly there was a period of time when Jin wasn't visiting HQ at all and it was for a few years. There is a chance it wasn't planned and just slipped by him. Since low % futures that surprise him do happen.

>>280810303
Everything will depend on how Ashihara depicts them, if he goes the "protective brother" that may save Nino's face. But if he indeed planned on him to have a crush on Hatohara, ntr posting will never stop.

I think Rinji is dead. And that the circumstances of his death lead Hatohara to blame herself because she couldn't shoot people. She's either a depressed full pacifist or brutal terrorist.

Ninomiya squad was the ultimate otome squad, three pretty boys and Hatohara is the most basic woman imaginable
You can't more otome than that.

>>280810225
Rinji's pet looks so different now.... How could this happen????

>>280810090
I'm not so sure seeing Hatohara once would automatically give him the update about her leaving for the Neighborhood. Especially as he probably wouldn't have seen anyone else with her, so things would be more cloudy for him, like when he could tell Osamu would lead him to someone who'd explain the irregular gates but didn't know that would be Yuma or what the explanation for the irregular gates was.

That said, if he did know Hatohara was leaving because of his side effect, he probably saw futures where things were worse for Border if she stayed than if she left, so despite being confused as fuck as to why, he didn't intervene to keep her from leaving.

>>280810408
Yes, protective brother is the way. Especially if Nino had dead relatives. However if it even slightly nudges towards a relationship thing, Nino's life as a human being is over.

>>280810416
There are 2 women in his squad, their operator Hiyami Aki.
She used to be unapproachable, but slowly melted to the point that Tsuji is fine with her.
Hatohara was the protagonist of a student council anime.
The serious prez with his non nonsense attitude, but kind.
The serious looking guy but is shy and cute.
The smiley guy who hides his mean thoughts with flowery words.
The competent girl who is her only female friend in the group

>>280810526
I'll be surprised if it goes the protective brother route given the narrative Ashihara has set up, like Nino's involvement with helping Ema being a parallel.

>>280810558
Hiyami moggs Hatohara pretty horribly, if she is the MC it could work. Inukai-Tsuji combo is hot stuff.

>>280810629
You don't get it.
The student council has the top tier girl, but the ones the boys simp for is the 5/10 girl who has a super specific talent.
