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 going through Volume 19, with the full squad of Tamakoma-2 now fully assembled and ready for the next Rank Wars match

Previous Thread: >>280785011

>>280810028 (OP)
let's goooooo

Oh yeah, the FUN volume.
Man this one rocks.

>>280810028 (OP)
Very cute Taichi in the background.

Chapter 161: Tamakoma Branch: Part 4

Finally time for the mall

>>280810137
Considering the level of the last two if you are speaking the truth then I'm in awe already.

>>280810392
He is just like I was fr fr.

>>280810392
oh no, Reiji is just another simp

>>280810402
Honestly, this is, BY FAR, the funniest fight of the bunch.
Ashihara outdoes himself and I laughed a lot, especially *that scene*, you'll know which one.

>>280810521
>Jealous of a kid
Geez, it's bad.

>>280810269
poor Reiji

>>280810437
FROMU CUYANADA

>>280810521
imagine got cucked out of your crush and your cute student by the same kid

>>280810664
pretty sure osamu hasnt done it yet

>>280810028 (OP)
Murakami is the Knight of Border.

>>280810560
yeah, top tier is just hell. either kage/azuma or kage/nino or nino/azuma every match. cancer

>>280810720
he has his full set for about 16 volumes now...

>>280810623
4 man squad is unfair.
>b-but-
4 man squad is unfair.

I still don't understand why didn't the cat put an upper limit here, what's stopping me of getting three operators, nine agents and just stomping everyone?

>>280810805
He put a hard cap. 1 operator and 1 to 4 combat agent per squad.

>>280810745
:>

>>280810521
>>280810745
Reiji's IQ dropped by about 80 points the moment she walked into the room. Women are terrifying.

>>280810437
There you go newfriends, this is why people joke about Canadians so much in these threads.

>>280810829
>no I'm not seething and I don't have escudo ptsd

>>280810705
cute interrogation

>>280810856
Then all teams except Ikoma and Tamakoma-2 are fucking stupid.

>>280810805
you can have 1 to 4 agents in your squad. a-rank rank 2 squad only has 2 members for example and they are by far the most toxic team to face in the border.

>>280810796
just joking about how osamu rank B body just kinda appear with raygust already equipped

>>280810521
Hyuse meets his uncle for the first time

>>280810927
Wingman Chika

>>280811000
>giving him Kido's room

>>280810925
Well its hard to find 4 people you tick with who are also competent combatants. So for most teams the situation is different, they are getting stronger with their close friends and are not in the rush, if someone competent comes by they will pick him up, otherwise let it be.
Osamu doesn't give a fuck and just wants more firepower here and now.

>>280810596
Ikoma squad holding up despite playing against cheaters
My heroes

Chapter 162: Tamakoma Branch: Part 5

>>280810745
cute

>>280810596
>T2 gained a bunch of points stomping noob
>Ikoma had to fight the top tiers for an entire season
>same points total

>>280811000
welp

>>280810925
Teamwork matters and less members make it easier for operators to do their jobs.
Everyone wanted to recruit Yuma and Hyuse because they were good.
You don't want to recruit an average C-rank graduate shitter.
Some C-rank are already in an unofficial squad and plan to make one once they reach B-rank like the idiot trio.
Azuma is in a squad just to teach new agents.

>>280811042
the explanation of Miwa's lead bullet

>>280811044
No it's not.
Let's be honest. Cat has a pass because WT is simply awesome, but he just didn't want to add more characters to an already overstaffed cast. That was a bad call he should've limited teams to 3 at the same time, wich means you can have 4 people or more on your squad but they have to be benched during Rank-Wars.
Then this next fight we could have had any combination plus Hyuse.
Tbh I think the most fun would've been Hyuse/Kuga/Mikumo.

>>280811161
>already like her from years ago
>still no progress
Reiji is doomed

>>280810925
How come 3 top teams have less than 4 people

>>280811161
>Reiji was like that for a long time
oh no, she actually will never touch his pocket raygust, don't even think about thruster. Its doomed.

>>280811203
The thing is that he stated the 1 to 4 combat agent and 1 operator per squad at the very beginning of the rank wars. It's not something he pulled just to add Hyuse out of nowhere.

>>280811203
There are quite a few a-rank teams with 4 combatants. Katagiri, Arashiyama, Kusakabe. Even in b-rank we see teams with 4 people rise up. Its not per chance or because he didn't want to add more.
When Hyuse showed up he was immediately asked to join by Koala.
When Yuma showed up he was grabbed by Kako.
Suwa was joining C-rank recruitment test to scout potential agents.
Border doesn't have enough solo c-ranks who can make it in B-rank. Its an actual issue.

>>280811115
They start with bonus points based on last year's placement. Ikoma started with 13 I think.

>>280811120
before he lost his smile and optimism

>>280811343
>they went to live in a farm in the neighborhood

>>280811236
>Kido looked like that
yeah, this sets up the the tone pretty well.

>>280811236
We couldn't protect that smile.

>>280811416
>there are still unknown black triggers in Border
heh

>>280811203
Four people on a squad was established way back at the start of the series with Arashiyama and Miwa squads both having four agents. Benching one of them during the rank wars would make no sense.

>>280811380
>>280811416
and this is how a wholesome old guy with a large smile becomes a cold child murderer

>>280811455
Amo's BT exists. there might be more but even that alone would cover it.

>>280811236
Kido, back when he still had his smile and optimism.

>>280811042
Does this mean that if you bailout in a closed room, it wouldn't work and you'd be trapped?

>>280810958
To add insult to the injury Toma has like, what? Three Triggers equipped?

>>280811042
Poor Taichi...

>>280811528
4 if you count double shield. Egret + bagworm + double shield.

>>280811587
Bullying Hyuse is the best part of him joining and it never stops until the arc ends

>>280811587
>the weak should fear the strong

>>280811161
Loli Konami ToT

>>280811528
This madlad only needs an Egret, a bagworm and 2 shields to sow chaos.

>>280811587
>Hyuse making Kitoraface
kek

>>280811662
>>280811588
Tbf Toma probably uses bagworm a lot, so it 6 trion he probably needs the extra slots for bonus trion.

>>280811662
and his captain who replaces his legs and counts as an entire fucking army. Цhen Fuyushima is missing Toma's pompadour gets easily separated from the rest of his body.

Chapter 163: Yuzuru Ema: Part 2

>>280811223
A rank 1: Tachikawa, Izumi, Yuiga (shitter) and Kuchikawa. 2.5 fighters (1 operator, 1 attacker, 1 shooter and 0.5 gunner).
A rank 2: Fuyushiyama Shinji, Isami Touma and Maki Risa. 2 fighters (1 operator, 1 trapper and 1 sniper).

>>280811816
bigger kazama

>>280811816
>6 years + of simping
For shame, reiji.

>>280811416
The spiky haired kid squatting is Amo's BT I bet.

>>280811783
lmao

>>280810925
Having 4 people means people will team up on you more.

>>280811816
>Ashihara doesn't want to add more characters
kek

>>280811627
the rare Hyuse vein pop

>>280811528
Fuyushima also only has 4. Switchbox, chameleon, shield, and bagworm tag. Two guys with one full set of triggers between them are the 2nd strongest squad.

>>280812015
>unconscious ntrman

>>280811907
Who made Amo's black trigger was actually answered in a Q&A a while ago. It was Tetsuya Umesaki, the guy next to Mogami.

>>280811935
Natsume-chan is growing nicely

>>280812015
>>280812045
This is why ikemen should be hated

>>280812012
Switch-box is more broken than scorpion. calling it "one trigger" is a big mistake

>ashihara preparing his 2 year long hiatus with nice sol antics

>>280812054
>not that your squad would ever reach top tier to fight us
a little too far there, oki

>>280812107
cute agents doing cute things.

>>280810664
Sorry Osamu, it is a neighbor-only meeting.
>>280810747
There's the possibility of a 4-squad match too which is even more of a nightmare.

>>280811974
>>280812015
Oki is being sincere here, with no ill intentions. fucking simp.

Some of you have real mental problems.

>>280812140
Can you blame him? Cap on he's the hottest agent in border.

>>280812140
It's Oki's fault for being handsome

>>280811816
>A tall Kazama appears

>>280811380
>>280811416
This begs the question of what happened to those 3 allied nations. We know Yotaro's original world is gone, but what about the other 2?

>>280812173
Cap off he is Nikumo so yeah, third Torimaru.

>>280811042
>Severance but takes place in Border
Would be cool ngl.

>>280812219
>Azuma: totally fair and balanced b rank agent

>>280812120
absolute chad meeting... and Ema.

>>280811627
nerf grasshopper

>>280812219
Auzma is fair and balanced in b-rank.

>>280812292
Ema can be pretty chad when he's not carrying spaghetti around, but that's a problem not even Reiji can fix

>>280812341
not really, when he isn't spilling his spaget all over he is edgy and moody.

>>280811816
I hate neighbors. Give back these lives. Give back Kido's smile.

>>280812341
>Reiji
of course a simp won’t be able to fix another simp

>>280810805
>>280810925
Yeah I've tried going through the B-Squads to arrange them into full squads for almost half an hour now, but it just doesn't work.

The only ones I could imagine disbanding are: Kazikaki squad
Fumika to Nasu's squad.
Tomoe to Oji's squad.
Kazi to Suwa's squad.

Then Suzunari with:
Taichi to Azuma's or Arafune's.
Kuruma to Yuba's.

But Ko, I don't know where to place.

>>280812377
last match was whatever but I remember him radiating coolness in this next match

>>280812053
I assumed it was him, based purely on the hairstyles.

>>280812369
>thinking T2 needs you to throw the match
little shit

>>280812189
Smiling Kage looks really nice.
>>280812219
>shrimp demoted to an insect
lmao

>>280812120
kageura no okonomiyaki ga ichiban na no wa kawaranai.

>>280812219
And here we get an explanation for why Kageura was hiding from Azuma despite being immune to normal snipers.

>>280812369
is everyone on border a simp?

>>280812418
that is just his edgier side, Ema's cool moments always have the edge to them. doesn't feel as natural as Yuma's casual murder, Kage's blending or Ko's zone.

>>280812505
Osamu isn't, that's why he's a madlad

>>280812514
he's not bald?

>>280811120
Who's te Tachikawa-but-bed-hair look-a-like?

>>280812252
>Kage spilled the beans
>Ema staring bullets at Yuma
small Ibis energy

>>280812514
Hanzaki doesn't get an invite...

>>280812569
chad manlet vs. simp manlet

>>280812537
Arafune is actually good looking

>>280811961
Yeah, if it was one squad vs another then obviously you'd want as many people as you can get. But they're always multi-squad free for alls so squad cohesion, operator workload, and the risk of feeding extra points are worth considering.

Chapter 164: Tamakoma-2: Part 20

>>280812606
>ninomiya checking camera angle to make the snowman for the audience
this fucking guy

>>280812558
Hokari & Arafune are older members & Hokari often does better in training than Arafune himself. Hanazaki is most likely girding his sniper points. Ashihara had given him the bonus of training diligently, so he is most likely busy. Knowing Arafune he would invite every time.

>>280812607
Of course he's good looking, he's the Hollywood Action Sniper.

>>280812053
>Serious face + spiky hair combo
Yeah the thing must be a disgusting nuke in a horrifying armor or some shit like that, a total edgefest.

>>280810925
From what we've seen, most teams are willing to take in a 4th man if they are competent.
It's just that there's only so many B rank agents who wouldn't just be carried without providing meaningful value and just becoming an extra point for other teams.

>>280812606
>Tachikawa rape correcting Miwa
Wish we could see that

>>280812513
agree to disagree then, I always like how all of kage squad has this casual air to them, even when facing nino

>>280812569
>big scorpion aura
>small ibis energy
oof

>>280812053
Ah, that would've been my second guess.

>>280812660
Yeah, I think that makes sense.

>>280812606
>Kazama being on the other end for once
kek

>>280812606
Starmaker sounds like it has the same limitation as lead bullet and needs to be combined with another trigger. Given that all it really does it mark someone, it really does seem extremely niche and pointless most of the time.

>>280812606
>Are there any operators with side effects?
>yes.I'm hoping to show that one of these days.
oh man. how long ago was this? lmao Pray for Ashihara, just pray.

>>280810437
Did Ashihara intend it to be funny for neighbors to call themselves Canadian?
Or is it just gained in translation?

>>280812781
Are you retarded?

>>280811663
Kek, git gud scrub.

>>280812606
>I thought she was his older sister so we are even
lmao

>>280812775
>>280812801
Based Toma not falling for Chikas good girl act.

>>280812801
SASUGA

>>280812801
>>280812825
The biggest difference with Hatohara

>>280812642
>>280812666
with how stuck up he is, pursuing Chika will be pure hell. Just imagine what Torimaru could do to him by accident.

>>280812721
this applies to Zoe & Kage, not Ema. Ema uses his head and thinks his actions through, too serious which is what I call "edge".

>>280812859
>It's like zero and one - completely different numbers
Like how Hatohara's Attack value is 1 and Chika's is 2.

>>280810829
>I was thinking about what Tamakoma-2 is lacking at the moment.
>And concluded that it was lacking fucking bullshit.

>>280812775
>>280812801
He knew for quite some time. I think the big training when she was shooting like there was no tomorrow was when he became sure of it.

>>280812960
Gangbang

>>280812189
Cool so Kage is on good terms with Toma too.
Must mean that Toma is an honest upfront kinda guy.

>>280810028 (OP)
>you are approaching me?

>>280812825
Yup, the difference between Hatohara & Chika.

>>280812781
Even funnier that they are all Canadians who use Greek names and words.

>>280812513
Ema is more moody than edgy. He's not as ice cold as Yuma, but he's still pretty casual and natural with his coolness.

>>280813017
Canadians are a mysterious race.

>>280812986
>Osamu sitting behind Kido's desk
>Yuma giving him a report
fascinating imagery

>>280813053
time is a flat circle.

>>280810473
Wouldn't be surprised if that's how rindo recruited reiji into tamakoma, he is underhanded like that.

>>280813059
Goodbye bailout hello meteor

>>280810469
>young master
now that is foreshadowing

>>280813053
They're even wearing the same thing >>280811120 except Osamu's sweater is black

>>280812960
Kageua Squad squad I think is my favorite.

>>280813059
ONE DAY
IT WILL HAPPEN
I WILL LIVE UNTIL IT HAPPENS
EVEN IF IT TAKES ANOTHER DECADE

>>280813059
Foreshadowing is a narrative device in which a storyteller gives an advance hint of an upcoming event later in the story.

>>280813059
>>280813089
Yup, Four-Eyes’ custom trigger loadout when he becomes A-rank will definitely remove bail out

>>280813086
>Military recruiters
>Same run-of-the-mill COD esque ads
>Border
>"We got cute girls everywhere!"

>>280813146
Don't do it OP

>>280813032
>>280813059
the chapter that foretells the emergence of Osamu bin Bailout the not friendly neighborhood warlord, we don't know when but we know that it will happen, someday.
the Chekhov's cookie dough.

>>280810745
Even chika wants to tease reiji...

>>280813174
DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE

>>280811042
>Fujin probably doesn't have a shield
There's still hope.

>>280813174
Azuma always with the "all acording to keikaku" face, sasuga.

>>280813086
he absolutely would

>>280812941
dont forget Ema is on team goofy off along side Touma during sniper drill

>>280813243
He's having fun seeing his cute retarded kids.
Azuma is basically a glorified babysitter.

Chapter 165: Osamu Mikumo: Part 16

>>280812890
Kek. Man I miss my fatzo bro. Dude was funny.

>>280813242
WHY THE FUCK DID THIS FOUR-EYES KEEP WINNING VALENTINE POLL?
WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY MEN HOTTER THAN HIM!?
ARE FEMALE READERS BLIND?

>>280812960
>kage entire squad ditch their cute operator
demote them to C rank next season

>>280813059
One day bros, one day.
We all will make it there for sure, just keep praying.

>>280813242
Handsamu wins again.

How many years between this chapter and the next, OP?

>>280813122
Kageura was my favorite until last volume.

>>280813174
>Kageura squad watching logs
lmao
>Azuma enjoying his new good kids
look at his satisfied smile, finally free from moody shitheads

>>280811120
Half those people are dead.

>>280813204
>Thank you for reading World Trigger! Please look forward to Ashihara's next work

>>280813282
Gonna start calling him Azumama or Azumom. Okudera seems to be actually well-behaved, meanwhile Koala is the problem child kek.

>>280813338
His second squad looks ok, it's the katagiri one, it looks *normal*

>>280811816
I just realized Jin's glasses came from his mentor

>>280812521
Yuma and Chika also aren't simps.
Hyuse is, unfortunately. I wonder how that'll affect the team's performance, since the object of his simpering isn't even on the same planet.

>>280813204
>Chika has her Ibis out
>is smiling
yup. she likes this.
don't forget, currently her main weapon is lightning+lead bullet and the default training trigger for snipers is Egret, yet she uses Ibis while grinning like an idiot.

>>280813371
it's Dadzuma

>>280813153
>osamu gets killed during rank A rank war
>has to do the walk of shame to the exit door
>with the entire audience watching him and live commentary

>>280813303
He loses the multivote, but wins the single vote.
He just needs a timeskip.

>>280813303
here is a spoiler for you. his rank 1 is forever
>WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY MEN HOTTER THAN HIM!?
Torimaru doesn't have that many clones, its like 3.

>>280813415
>Four-Eyes
>feeling any kind of shame
>at all

>>280813273
Toma not Touma, Toma is too bad in melee to qualify for that name.

>>280813415
Kazama would cum on the spot, I bet.

>>280813469
>>280813415
After the pliers incident, "Trigger Off", the press conference and trying to recruit Jin, he can't be any more shameless.

>>280813323
all these years later Osamu still can't figure out what is bugging him so much

>>280813405
>caring about another person is simping
Your brain is broken.

>>280813517
and the worst is yet to come

>>280813517
Yup, also, if Four-Eyes drops Bail Out, he can take Meteor which can combine with Spider

>>280812606
Yoneya is such a nice guy

>>280813483

She looks like she hunts shotas.

>>280813561
>Azuma watching Osamu on the scoreboard

>>280813527
I've made a collage of Yuunichika from last volueme.
She was just too cute.

>>280813483
Look at this shit. Even with Glasses he is Tsuji tier when sweatdrop isn't there. Osamu is actually very handsome.

>>280813059
Osamu has the chance to do the funniest thing.

>>280813606
>he knows
Good thing Azuma nerfs himself, first thing he would do is murder 4 eyes.

>>280813174
>>280813204
And this was where the series went on hiatus for two years.

>>280812228
Betrayal, they probably were the reinforcements and didn't answer the call for help

>>280811746
Note how kuga is a neighbour but sleeps in with friends, but osamu sees no one unless it's for a purpose.

>>280812801
as expected from no1 sniper

>>280813527
Hiyami's clone.

>>280813602
What does Hyuse look like in-universe?
Does everyone think he's white?

>>280813800
Taichi fight go!

>>280813561
Inukai really loves doing this

>>280813826
Women think he’s handsome

>>280813826
he is described by others as handsome and he passes as CYUNAYDIYAN, so probably

>>280812771
It's basically only Suwa's squad who gets a niche use out of it, it seems. Their clustered short range formation makes them vulnerable to sneak attacks so they can try to clip a sniper or other stealth attacker who's running away or distracted outside their effective range to neutralize the threat they can pose in the future.
I think it might be more useful combined with a lightning sniper though, letting them mark people in addition to their regular damage. Since a sniper already reveals their position when shooting, losing bagworm for the marker just before making the shot isn't a big deal.

>>280813830
ENTER
THE MALL

>>280812859
I really love this conversation, also it only took Tomo a few training sessions and watching a rank match to get to the root of the issue

>>280813634
>so they are getting a major reinforcement?
>that is kinda insane.
bro you have Azuma on your squad.

>>280813830
Kage not knowing anything everyone else at border already knows is one of my favourite gags.

>>280813059
who needs Bailout when you can TRIGGER OFF

>>280813722
The cat has written his crush on Chika well.

I fucking love THE MALL

>>280813943
Daisuke Ashihara - The Mall

>>280813670
Yeah, like a wall snipe, or bullets being shot out of the air, or the upcoming bullshit.
>shits on someone's head
>consider this a learning experience
he sure loves his job

>>280813826
You know how asian girls are for blonde white dudes?
That's it.

>>280813722
>Nire down
instant loss

>>280813754
I love Ko's attitude.

Chapter 166: Tamakoma-2: Part 21

>>280813943
There seems to be plenty of anti-sniper set-ups.

>>280814052
Surprised Ninomiya didn’t make it into top 5 of Valentine poll since he looks like the type women would love

>>280812960

I'd love to see Azuma being a captain in a good team.

Its not that easy

This is the biggest simp ever, he is just smart at it.

>Q.128: Arafune called Kizaki by his last name 8 months ago but now calls him by first name, did he seek teaching from him or became his disciple for his goal of becoming a perfect All-rounder?
It seems likely. At that point, Arafune started emulating Hokari and started weight training, so there was the rumour within Border that he ‘received a muscle baptism’.

>>280812537
Motherfucker, I'm pretty sure he already removed his cap once before.

>>280815483
And this is still the weekly serialization part so it's what he stacked up during the hiatus.

>>280812890
Hikariiiiiii!

>>280812801
You can switch the damn thing mid-path? Is this why Viper is considered the hardest to use?

quite a few people don't like him too much but its mostly a-rank salt.

>>280815719 meant for >>280815487

>>280815716
he is talking about lead bullet, not viper. Viper is hard to use because at full potential you have to trace trajectories for every bullet you fire each time you fire.

>>280813174
Oh boy what a cliffhanger. I'd sure hate it if my neck exploded right now.

>>280813403

>>280811873
Yuiga is -1
He's a free point for whoever fights the Tachikawa squad

>>280815716
No, as I recall it's a mistranslation. He's saying that she's already shooting people and just needs to turn off lead bullet before she shoots, not that she should be shooting and turning it off while the bullet's in the air.

>>280813059
That thing is a life saver, I think it's fair. So that's the reason anons are saying Osamu will turn off his bail out.

>>280814202
It encourages use of meteor which means more people are gonna have wire cleaners.

>>280815858
Imagine if he ad 4-5 trion instead of 2.

>>280815944
If Osamu had more Trion he would be nowhere near as resourceful as he is now, his current mindset was born of his limitations.

>>280813830
Battlefield is a mall. Give me my bombs Mako!

>>280815974
Now imagine if he couldn't get killed as to not expose his trick.

>>280813865
Border should develop a 3d radar.

>>280813754
They're lucky Ko wasn't there when Hyuse fought Ikoma and the others.

>>280814555
Speaking of close range sniping, would Ibis be worth it? treating it as a mid range shield buster.

>>280813989
It won't be easy to do a wall snipe, but you know, Azuma. Be careful.

>>280814388
I think this is a good show of what Ema mentioned regarding B Ranks being 'dilligent' agents.
Most teams assumed snipers would be waiting outside, but Ema and Azuma both end up inside, taking the risk to try and contribute to points

>>280813865
Come on Border, even San Andreas figured out the 3D map thing in a simple way back then.

>>280815844
Pretty funny how this happened shortly before the popularity poll

>>280814318
>Let's give Chika a Meteor.
Usami wants blood today.

>>280816187
She couldn't have known.
No one had tested that shit yet, even if they saw her hounds.

there is actually a 3D map which Jackson uses quite comically in the last battle

>>280814438
>those instinct of yours are important
I like how the author is pointing out Osamu's worry with another team.

>>280816108
And it's not you can't snipe inside a building like that. In fact, it would be harder to predict where you're going to get shot at from. This and the forest map would basically be high risk high reward maps for snipers, not counters.

>>280816033
Enhanced Radar is a thing, its a full blown trigger.

>>280816391
I think that sees through bagworm at the cost of using more trion. Regular radars can do 3d, but it's probably just a matter of that being harder to look at in the heat of battle vs a 2d map.

>>280816345
the main issue that most snipers are goofballs in melee and don't have reflexes to shoot fast moving targets up close

>>280815716
Viper is a hard thing to use because you can only set the path before firing it and you can't change it mid path. And Nasu uses double Vipers (not composite).

>>280815775
I was implicitly asking if you can change Viper's trajectory mid-path. Guess not.
>>280815854
Okay, cool.

>>280816463
viper+viper composite must be wild

>>280812606
based kazama
no cutelet rage or whatsoever
so chill and cool

>>280816504
If Viper composite were that much stronger, then Nasu would use it instead of using 2 Vipers at the same time. Double Viper is crazy enough.

>>280816504
What would that even do? I somewhat suspect that it does allow changing trajectories mid flight since that's the only way you could make viper more vipery.

>>280816575
That would explain why Nasu doesn't bother with Viper + Viper and prefers to use Birdcage (Double Viper).

>>280816504
>someone shoots at you
>bullets stop right in front of your shield before swerving perfectly and blasting your ass
Some Looney Tunes shit.

>>280816444
That sounds way too op for one slot. If that is the case it literally must have to be paired with bagworm tag or everyone would run it.

>>280816575
Maybe it allows the projectile to split/combine mid-flight? That feels very vipery and isn't something that can be done normally.

>>280816575
Changing trajectories mid path would actually be pretty strong
>Make that same bullet repeatedly enter and exit the body for more damage

Fucking why? It really is the worst trigger.

>>280816683

How much can you modify your trion body? There's Konami and Katori, but those are cosmetic changes. Imagine putting your trion supply system around your crotch to fuck with people.

>>280816683
You can just do a Nasu and make spiralling bullets using 2 separate Vipers.
It makes sure to fill a trion body with enough holes to find the cores.

>>280816829
I've always been interested in the idea of making your trion body's eyes wrap all the way around your head to give you 360° vision.

>>280816829
The only trion body we've seen that didn't have its supply system located where the heart is, was a black trigger. So it's probably not easy to vary the location much.

>>280816884
>You can just do a Nasu
kek
bruh its not easy to make that bullet trajectory even if you have like 5 minutes, since that thing clamps from all sides, converges on top & bottom and then twists without crossing. its one hell of a chore

>>280816683
It would be really useful. But I imagine you'd have to stay locked in on both vipers to continue controlling it. That'd be a very high committment attack that would leave you completely open. So, if that is what it does, it would make sense for it to be so rare.
>>280816677
I hadn't thought of that, but that would be good too. Launch a big fuck off death bullet and if the person dodges it explodes into a bunch of small ones to catch them.

>>280811042

Taichi is a retard, if you are an outstanding agent they won't delete your memory

>>280816912
That will fuck with your brain more than anything. Maybe a side effect can fix that?
>>280816923
Borboros is also interesting, since there's only one instant kill weak point instead of the usual two and it can make a shell around the core sturdy enough to block normal bullet trigger.

>>280817007
A lot of its members are kids. For them it'd be no different from playing a sport in school and not trying to go pro. Most of the adult members are engineers or in mamagement. And border works with both the government and private sector. As long as your separation was amicable enough to not get mind wiped, you'd probably be able to find a job through those connections.

>>280817136
>That will fuck with your brain more than anything. Maybe a side effect can fix that?
I think it would be massively weird at first, but with practise you'd get used to it.

Regular viper bends at an angle, viper + viper must be the one she used against that neighbor girl that traced a more fluid path.

>>280817462
That was still a regular Viper.

>>280817306
Thinking about it, any decently powerful shooter fucks him up. They're never going to voluntarily get close enough to him for the gas attack, they're going to very quickly figure out what his deal is with his core, and pretty much any combination of hounds, vipers, and meteors kills him.

I feel like it’s hard to really convey just how hard Viper can be to use through manga alone.

>>280817644
Suwa's shotguns failed to do any damage to the core, you would need Nino or Izumi.

I think we're gonna need a second thread.

>>280817764
doesn't matter, in fact its worse for the shooter, time to shoot is much longer than time to gun. The only thing that matters is trion discrepancy and Enedora will have more than anyone in the border not named Chika. He will most likely survive any single barrage and then counter. With how Borboros moves all shooters die to it in a direct battle.

>>280814306
he considers him A-rank in team battle later so after putting Osamu through the wringer, Hyuse truly comes to respect him

>>280817749
>decently powerful
I'd add Nasu and Hyuse. The former for precision, the latter for raw power. A spread like shotguns is good for finding the core. But a concentrated hit is better for killing it. Good shooters can do both.

>>280817797
To be fair, I think we could've done it in one thread if OP didn't take a mid-thread hiatus.

>>280817941
you can't complain that OP is giving the authentic experience.

>>280817889
He's simply too retarded to be trusted.

>>280817929
If you are a Shooter who can do funny Viper thingy, you are better against Enedora than a Gunner.
The spiral of death looks to be quite effective against his moving core ability.

We seriously need to know Jin’s trigger list without Fujin

>>280817992
Are gunners not able to use Viper?

>>280818021
Presumably it's a standard double scorpion loadout with one or two escudos. He was never shown using anything else.

>>280814438
Azuma's mentees are guaranteed to do well even if they look like scrubs now. future A-rankers

>>280817937
Finding the core is useless without starmaker, so they'd need that too.

>>280818045
They can, but they can't program the path on the fly.
The bullets Gunner use are preset before creating the Trion Body while Shooters can modify their bullets before firing.
What this means is that the Viper a Gunner use will always move in the same path and the bullets will come one by one (hence why many of them use assault guns).
On the other hand, Shooters can create the Viper flying path before firing and having a lot of bullets on standby so they can all fire together at the same time.

>>280817937
core is tiny and it moves, it is shielded to the point that gunner triggers don't do shit, its also invisible inside the liquid body, with how he created more and more dummies its likely that he could have used said dummies to thicken up the core shielding by creating several layers of them, how are you going to hit it and would a single bullet that hits it be enough to destroy it?
I'd say Nino's gimlet might have a chance but it would require luck. Hyuse might cut it if he does viper art but he only has one viper, Nasu is 7 trion and this disqualified on the spot.
From long range its downright impossible, in melee high trion with good bullet is mandatory. Shooters have horrific matchup against this.

>>280818045
Yes. That's what Miwa shot through Mira's portal to hit her and Hyrein. They wouldn't be able to change up the parameters of the bullets. But I don't think it's been said how much control they have over the trajectory compared to shooters. Same with hound tracking.

>>280818125
>What this means is that the Viper a Gunner use will always move in the same path and the bullets will come one by one (hence why many of them use assault guns).
I was under this impression for a while too, but this page suggests that gunners can also program whatever they want in the moment.

>>280818219
Meteora spam would work.

>>280818256
Hey, you are right.
It's not a Shooter exclusive thing, is just that most agents are not good enough and the ones who are good happens to be Shooters.

>>280818256
So the only disadvantage of gunner compared to shooter is no composite bullet?

>>280818301
It would only work if you are Chika.
Meteora are not good at breaking hard things.

>>280817992
>If you are a Shooter who can do funny Viper thingy
You are Nasu or Izumi. There are 4 good shooters in the border, 2 of them don't use viper.
No one but Nasu can do what Nasu does. Izumi might be able to copy but he doesn't play with viper to that extent. core is tiny and can be moved however user wants, it will just move through it or worse, take the hit and ignore it, no more than 1-2 bullets will be able to hit the core even if it sits directly in the middle of that barrage because of the bullet to core size ratio.

>>280818333
And not being able to customize power/range/speed on the fly.

>>280818338
From how it looked, it's seems that all the bullets can run through the entire body. Enedora has to move his core so it only gets hit once or twice.

>>280818333
I don't think Gunners can adjust the parameters of their shots during combat. Also, you can't use the cube to do stuff like setting wire mines.

>>280818106
>>280818219
Viper can weave through multiple cores. And the only thing Enedora blocked was dispersed shotgun fire. So a big boolit from Nasu has a good chance of breaking it.
Most important though is the existence of salamander, tomahawk, and just straight up meteor. The guy lost to air conditioning. Nuke him.
Shooters are the closest thing he has to a counter among border triggers.

Borboros vs Viper is just Undertale.

>>280818333
Gunners can do composite bullets.
A gun can carry 2 bullets so you can make a composite, but it will mean that gun can only fire that composite.

>>280818333
no bullet stats and you can't do volleys as you can't create and split suwas

>>280818333
You also can't adjust range, power and speed at all.
You apparently can make a composite bullet gun (which sounds broken), however we don't know if firing it would leave you defenseless, but we do know that if you made such a gun then it can then only fire that composite and nothing else.

>>280818456
>Q.146: Can Gunners use composite bullets?
If they set it in the gun trigger they can, but that gun then becomes ‘a gun that can only shoot the composite bullet’.

>>280818334
I'm not saying only one shot would do it, but spamming it would eventually break it.

>>280818413
the core is about the same size as bullets, bullet tower was made in a way that prevents bullets from hitting each other, stay in one place = get hit by maximum 2 bullets.

Enedora died because he's too prideful to run away from the Meeden monkeys. Falling back is a legit tactic.

>>280818456
It won't leave you defenseless because a gun trigger has the bullets as an accessory for the gun and it doesn't take a trigger slot.

>>280818333
A shooter can shoot machine gun fire of tiny, fast, long ranged but weak asteroids. And then they can launch a close range powerful blast of big asteroids. And they can do it with one trigger. For a gunner that's two separate guns.

>>280818488
I mean that Nasu can make a bullet whirpool in which each bullet goes through the entire body.

>>280810362
she's looks like an older Teruya
>>280810521
Good taste Reiji

>>280818515

>>280811816
RIP cute twintails, what a loss

Finally back, going to try and finish this all in one thread

Chapter 167: Suzunari-1: Part 2

>>280818509
I wouldn't assume that personally. Composites are really strong and if a gunner could ignore their main weakness I think at least one person in the story would use one.

>>280818429
>Viper can weave through multiple cores
and how will it see them? viper isn't homing, its a planned trajectory, Enedora moves very fast and jiggles the cores around. Unless you split your cube into 100 bullets+ you won't have the bullet saturation necessary for it, but if you split it into a 100 bullets he will tank it while yawning, if you split it into 9 sure kill bullets he will just dodge.
The only current shooters that would be able to do shit to him would be Nino & Izumi with gimlet hailmary spam, even then its a hailmarry.
>the existence of salamander, tomahawk
too slow and still too slow.
>meteor
won't do shit unless Chika

>>280818540
7 trion. either not enough bullets to hit if she makes them deadly or enough bullets to hit but they won't deal damage.

>>280818565
Well yes, but that's two different triggers. A shooter would have to have two different ones to shoot asteroids and meteors as well. But a shooter can shoot a big slow bomb meteor or a bunch of tiny fast fire crackers, or something similar to what Zoe shoots all with one trigger. Whereas Zoe's are just that one set of parameters per gun.

>>280818632
Yup, operator burden doesn't matter until it does and you no longer see enemy sniper sight lines, positions and radar.

>>280818752
Scorpion is fair and balanced

>>280811497
Kido did nothing wrong
>>280811587
Kutenami

>>280818769
Guy with Jin's glasses

>>280818733
Scorpion can do that!?

>>280818823
I love taichi.

>>280818772
>>280818797
>see target
>shoot target
now this is a proper gunner

>>280818733
The range on that is crazy. I'm guessing he has good Trion since he also has a side effect.

>>280818769
The picture with all the names is >>280811816
Jin's master is the guy with sunglasses next to Shinoda.

>>280811935
For a C-rank 41th place is crazy good

>>280818867
7 its well above average

>>280818901
She's genuinely pretty good and she's being mentored by the best, so he can tell she has a bright future ahead.

>>280818884
Azuma and Mikumo would just break these games in half, I feel.

>>280813059
Weird to think that bailout handicaps agents by calling dibs on their trion.
Theoretically a C-rank trigger has more focused firepower than a B-rank trigger.

>>280818917
People should troll the operators more often.

>>280818973
No they shouldn't fuck off Azuma!

>>280818963
Bailout doesn't make your other triggers weaker.

>>280818973
it must happen a lot in a-rank as a lot of them have 4 members in their teams. Katagiri even has a dedicated operator rapist.

>>280819007
They really want to kill that four eyes.

>>280818995
That and styling on people is his only joy in b rank wars.

>>280818884
Okudera is just messing with the operators.
Of course she understood quickly. She must be thinking that strat is damn annoying.

>>280819007
judging by this we can deduce that Okudera is pretty shit attacker.

>>280819037
operator rape claims another victim

>>280819092
Azuma's boys only really work well as a pair

>>280819067
>instead of breaking glass, Hyuse cuts his way in
lmao this fucking leaf

>>280819092
Azuma is purposefully gimping them to give them more room to grow.
Poor kids don't even have subtriggers.

Chapter 168: Suzunari-1: Part 3

>>280819058
It's because she's 2nd gen Azuma squad

>>280819158
They have subtrigger, not subtrigger weapons.

>>280819153
Not even to be silent given he shatters the glass all the same

>>280819098
>>280819163
lead kogetsu soon hopefully

>>280819098
The CHUUNI blade.

>>280819092
But I thought it's because Raygust is really good

>>280813174
Reminder: This page came out just 2 chapters befora a 2 YEAR hiatus

>>280819163
Me? I'd make my kogetsu a very obnoxious neon pink

>>280819158
They can request triggers case to case, like earlier on they asked for meteor and grasshopper because of the stage.

>>280819239 (me)
or was the chapter we went on hiatus with, not sure

>>280819264
>please ner-ACK
Shitty blade that breaks in one shoot.

>>280819163
There is literally zero reason why everyone's Kogetsu isn't a non-glowing black blade.

>>280819136
>from 2015 issue 50 to 2018 issue 47

>it felt like funeral
pray for Ashihara, idiot cat got himself crippled while giving us high quality entertainment and keeps trying hard to this day.

>>280819297
Except that glowing laser swords are COOL

>>280819196
Yuitsuka's clueless face is very cute

>>280819136
Dumb cat almost did a Togashi.
Indefinite hiatus as an emergency response was a good idea.

>>280819136
Good guy editor, forcing Ashihara to stop and attend to his health before it was damaged beyond recovery.

>page 10
We're not going to make it.

>>280819236
Zoe managed to shield Kage without having a proper line of sight. He is stupidly good, just look at that shit.

>>280819412
We can if we remove bail out from the thread

>>280819412
I'll just go until the thread dies and make a new one

>>280819335
Interesting stats. Yuma does better against Kage than he does against Ko, and Ko gets shat on by Kage.

>>280819158
But they do

>>280818646
You are massively overestimating Enedora's speed. The main body moves slow enough for Hisato to get an attack in. And Nasu has shown more than enough control to where she could use a handful of powerful bullets to completely fill every inch of a trion body.
Also, I'm not sure how he's supposed to tank meteors when he can't tank a stiff breeze.

>>280819468
How do you overcome this?

>>280819468
Best defense is a curtain of bullets

>>280819468
>tracing ninomiya

bros, I don't know if we're gonna make it

>>280819364
>Downsides? HE'S FAT
Slow down there Inukai

>>280819601
Should have done some trion body adjustment. I f some characters can add fat you can remove it too.

>>280819601
Fatshaming is an American thing.
