Thread 280844832

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 20, as things start to heat up in the Rank Wars battle at THE MALL, and Kuga and Hyuse finally meet up to start scoring some points!

Previous Thread: >>280810028

I LOVE MALLS

FINALLY

DASHING Azuma for the funniest WT volume.

Woo, mall fight!

Earliest I've ever been.

Chapter 170: Tamakoma-2: Part 23

>>280845082
>just made escudo crush him harder
Hyuse... He's not Jin
You are never doing that to Jin

>>280845082
Poor Taichi, not even worth showing how he died

>>280845178
outdated trigger by the way.

>>280845188
Only agents with patrician taste use Escudo

>>280845188
>waste of trion
>walls, floors, etc

>>280845139
How many other teams have TWO aces?

>>280845242
>>Waste of trion
Just don't be a trionlet then

>>280845082
Kogetsu was inserted in Taichi's ass. there was no other way to kill him in that position.

>>280845249
T1 has 4 aces, so its only natural

>>280845387
I don't think Usami counts as an ACE

>>280845178
>>280845206
>Hyuse launches with escudo
>Kuga redirects with grasshopper
such a cool sequence
>Azuma dropping beacons
what a shithead.

>>280845249
Chika is the most broken ace in the maklng.
Yuma and Hyuse couldn't possibly match up.

>>280845416
T1's full roster has Jin in it so they have 4 combatants. 4 aces 2 nukes.

>>280845424
Let the man have his fun, they chose the most boring map for his "b rank skills"

>>280845460
I thought Jin was still a free agent?

>>280845480
FUCKING CANADIAN MERCENARIES ARE TOO STRONG NERF WHEN?

>>280845347
so Ema would prefer not to get close to attackers and he should be pretty fast as far as snipers go, If he doesn't want to risk in, it means no one but Azuma can snipe in melee range in b-rank unless its a setup

>>280845178
You would think grasshopper would be better for this.

>>280845415
is this legal?

>>280845438
So Hyuse can still trigger his side effect?

>>280845555
... and ema is meant to be a former a rank too.

>>280845415
this is what 18 trion does to an old & outdated trigger

>>280845586
Unlike Yuuma, hyuse has a real body.

>>280845596
yup, so I do give him major credit. I think Arafune could pull it off but only because he was a masterclass attacker, even then he would most likely pull out his kogetsu instead.

>>280845415
>that's it ban tamakoma-2 from eank wars alongside regular tamakoma.

>>280845586
Have you forgotten Jin fight? Hyuse is extremely emotional, he just knows how to keep a poker-face. Fucking leaf is boiling inside. Kage's side effect would work extremely well against him.

>>280845633
Considering Azuma doesn't trigger it either, I figured it was just a trained soldier thing
Hyuse's a prideful bastard in comparison

>>280845586
Have you seen how he’s still seething over Jin? He absolutely fights with emotion, he just doesn’t visually show it. Polar opposite of Kuga really.

i just started this and i'm having fun so far
i decided to check the current chapters for fun and what the FUCK is going on where are the monsters why is there pvp
why are they using moba items and shit
am i even gonna like all this shit if i'm enjoying the simple early monster hunting

>>280845548
So mantis is fast as fuck.

>>280845480
18 trion viper looking juicy

Chapter 171: Hyuse: Part 5

>>280845480
if this was asteroid Kage dies then and there

>>280845754
WT is a esports simulation manga first and foremost.
And it's GLORIOUS.

Why does Hyuse not have more fans?
He's one of the few good looking dudes that also looks unique (not sharing the sameface with someone else).

>>280845548
and inukai has the gall to claim kage wasn't in top form in this fight after this

>>280845548
Human blender in action.

>>280845238
Kage, your smurf team is out of a job.

>>280845754
The XCOM arc is fun but only after you get attached to at least 1/4 of the cast.
Otherwise it's 90% of people talking about strategies and people talking about people talking about strategies.

>>280845600
so Hyuse managed to fool Kage's side effect buy delaying the shots. fascinating.

>>280845847
>OH YEAH!
Honestly, we don't see too many super explicit feats of strength with Trion bodies, perhaps because the focus is on Trion bodies vs other Trione bodies, where it cancels it. Still, fun to see someone just bust through a wall, Cool-Aid Man style.

>>280845636
Kage's side effect is so busted he still should have seen the shots towards his legs.

>>280845847
Kitazone just keeps smashing those panels in this match.

>>280845798
>>280845847
Zoe doing a kool-aid man impression

>>280845415
AHAHAHAHAHA

>>280845754
if you don't enjoy autistic excel spreadsheets this manga is not for you

>>280845984
That's like 20 chapters away!

>>280845480
smug canadian

>>280845955
He did, he simply does not have the trion to be able to block completely against hyuse, it's 7 vs 18 and he was already half dead when they started.

>>280845798
>>280845847
>zoe breaks through Escudo's by just kicking them
not very durable against melee attacks

>>280846028
Should've dodged.

>>280845555
Hmm I think Oki could potentially manage, especially with the vertical space to play in the mall.

>>280846033
anon he kicked the wall of the shop

>>280845936
>rape box engaged
do you remember that laser peeler thing? yeah T2 has it now.

>>280845600
Kage scoring Yuma's arm in a 1-v-2 against two aces (plus a minor hit on Hyuston) is kind of insane.

>>280846033
No, he broke through the regular wall that WASN'T covered by escudos.

>>280846063
Oki needs to learn special tactics of
>aiming lightning properly while grasshoppering

>>280846054
Where to, the wall behind him, the ceiling above him or the two master level attackers flanking him?

>>280846079
SHOULD HAVE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE FOOT BLADES

>>280846077
Kage is very high tier fighter, his side effect blinds most to the real threat, he is fast as fuck

>>280846113
Most likely towards Yuma because he lost an arm. Having to fight one of the attackers you were just fighting who's down an arm is better than definitely getting your legs blown off because you didn't even guard them.

>>280846065
>>280846078
yeah should have read further first >>280845977

>>280845178
Enter in the anime https://youtube.com/shorts/gZDwvSPEoEE?si=VfljmbfAVr7gYc1B

>>280845977
Zoe is one of the best gunners in b-rank and he has a machine-gun but he can't nail Kuga when he is moving at close range.

>>280845548
Kage looks like he's smiling but he's actually scowling. Kino panel.

>>280846272
Grasshopper is pure bs.

>>280846079
>moving faster by using scorpion to turn himself into a literal blender
hilarious shit Kage

>>280846079
>kage the hedgehog

>>280845977
>>280846014
>Zoe did a Toki
high tier support all right

>>280846356
>>280846393
The gears start turning

>>280846356
Dude stop gaping and standing still and actually help him before you become sniper fodder, explanations can come later.

>>280845379
Teleport to avoid being separate from Kage.
>>280845936
Teleport to avoid being the escudo cage.

Teleport can help Zoe with his mobility and big target problems.

>>280846446
Incoming sekuhara.

>>280845238
War veterans vs high school students

>>280846452
Only mikumo could think of that.
Seeing WATER GOD do it too helped.

>>280845249
I assume we mean ace here as in the role (ie the main point earner), not as just their most skilled member.

Only like 2 squads that we know of fight with 2 people in that role.
>Miwa Squad (Miwa and Yoneya)
>Tamakoma 2

But a few more have 2 more with the capability to act as aces but choose to play a more supportive role instead
>Tachikawa
>Arashimiya
There's also a few A rank squads that might fight like that but we haven't seen them in combat
>Kusukabe
>Katagiri
Finally, Tamakoma 1 has Konami as their ace but Kyosuke's and Reiji's triggers means they can become the ace whenever needed.

>>280846460
there is a Kuruma with two guns out, if he tries to go for them now Ko will block and Kuruma will just annihilate him in 0.2 seconds.

>>280846463
Teleport is LoS. Grasshopper would be better even for a big guy like him.

>>280846460
A Osamu without a plan is a dead one, and Hyuse is going against his only plan. He can't afford to just throw himself in the open.

Chapter 172: Hyuse: Part 6

>>280846488
>this whole time these two shitheads are just sitting polishing their swords at each other instead of slicing Ema into bits
giga shitters.

>>280846646
and this is why its an outdated trigger

>>280846535
The 2 guns out means he has to completely rely on murakami for defense, who has both kogetsu and raygust on hand and can't use shields either, they are completely vulnerable to attack on 2 sides, which is why hyuse told osamu to go behind them.

>>280846694
yes they are but timing matters, if Ko is too close he will block any attack at Kuruma without an issue at the same time Yuma & Hyuse are still too far away from Suzunari

>>280845806
how can an esports simulation manga even be that fun?

>>280846659
It's such a shame that Senku destroys it. It would actually be ok if it could tank at least one.

>>280846757
Good MC and tactics autism.
So much tactics autism.

>>280846779
I wonder if they could tank one if they were made smaller.

>>280846779
imagine the fucking cost of that thing though. like you would need vasilisa tier trion density, so its a full trigger worth of trion per single shield.

>>280846845
BULLSHIT INCOMING

>>280846823
Let's give chika escudo then.
But her shields are already impenetrable.

>>280846762
yuma needs at least one bullet trigger. he has that remaining free slot to equip something, maybe viper too. it'd give him a lot of opportunity to close the distance when his target is defending against it

>>280845082
Alright, it was Hyuse who stuck kogetsu inside Taichi's ass lmao. Feel sorry for the guy but he should have had countermeasures.

>>280846884
Out fucking skilled

>>280846646
I feel like escudo would improve a lot if it was a box that was twice as thick and half the height. Then it wouldn't block your line of sight, so you could shoot over it like cover, and you could easily summon one on top of another.

>>280846808
>>280846779
Maybe if was set at an angle that's acute enough to make the blade bounce instead of cutting through.

>>280846884
Outdated trigger btw

>>280846884
never gets old, such a hilarious move.

>>280846884
>etc
Damn I love this fight.

>>280846926
That's a double kill if it was Scorpion

>>280846884
One more move added to the banlist

>>280846884
Superior Canadian innovation.

>>280846884
fucking neighbors

>>280846957
Osamu…

>>280846569
Nice drawing of my wife

>>280846923
>Doesn't get the kill even when it's literally thrown at him

>>280846798
>>280846845
>>280846884
>>280846923
this whole sequence is teamwork art. from Hyuse & Yuma to Osamu perfect teamwork, timing and positioning.

>>280846894
There is no countermeasure to Escudo.
It's clearly overpowered and is the ultimate weapon created by Border. Likely as a fluke, seeing as the Meeden monkeys don't even seem to realize the masterpiece they've created.

>>280846884
you get an escudo, you get an escudo, and you get an escudo. EVERYONE GETS AN ESCUDO

>>280846989
why the color change back to white? he had been doing whirlwinds before and it stayed black. or did him temporarily releasing it cause it to switch back to white? if so, why?

>>280847064
I HATE SCORPION I HATE SCORPION I HATE SCORPION I HATE SCORPION

>>280846884
>>280847029
The power system is so well explained and understood that things like this impress as if you were seeing them in-universe.

>>280847064
Nerf the shrimp

>>280846957
>Osamu steals Ko's raygust because he was about to sekuhara Kuruma and Ko couldn't bear to watch
I'd say this is a major win for team 2-trion-free-point

>>280847054
Spoilers for first time readers in the recommended videos btw

>>280847029
Ko's trick was pretty wild too.

>>280847064
Was wondering if that Escudo was gonna hinder him somehow.

>>280847044
Shut up Hyuse.

>>280847069
It changes when senku is activated, reverts back to black when it ends.

>>280847064
This move is so good for how simple it is

>>280847098
This entire T2 vs S1 sequence is the best part of this battle.

>>280847133
Damn ema, good killsteal.

>>280847098
You can see him making a raygust here.
Neat detail

Chain reaction hunting time

>>280847107
Theres always a bigger sexual harasser

>>280847064
Scorpion saves the day yet again, with a little help from escudo.

>>280847178
Thruster you fool

>>280847064
so Yuma wacks the escudo with his scorpion leg extender and that twists Ko's angle making him free food? oof if so

>>280847178
AAAAAAIIIIIEEEE NOT AGAIN!

>>280847178
>Wall snipe PTSD

>>280847195
Ko broke his raygust he's fucked.

>>280847133
Learn to finish your food, Osamu.

>>280846065
>>280846078
>American construction

A WT game like umamusume

>>280847133
Osamu was this close to another wall snipe moment, just a bit of random chance away.

>>280847098
Hyuse really likes to stab things

>>280847206
my jobber king

>>280847206
Mikumo is an eternal ibis victim.

>>280847237
Ema is no Azuma.

>>280845803
Hyuse should really fill his last slot with Asteroid or Meteor. Tricks are great, but raw power is better.

>>280846606
For what it's worth, that's a reasonable caution since Ema is former A-rank. The corridors indoor are fairly small, so rushing him runs the risk of taking an Ibis shot even if they outnumber him. It's unlikely they would lose, but if they want to guarantee a win with no injuries, it'd be better to wait.

>>280845480
Canadians are STRONG.

>>280847178
>was it Azuma
ptsd

>>280847262
I'm saying there was a 50/50 chance ema would have shot osamu first instead of kuruma, they were both standing still.

>>280847280
Neighbors are pathologically compelled to scheme. It is their nature.

>>280847293
Midgets win again.

>>280847252
prescribed treatment from his PTSD therapist

>>280847287
But he got a second shot in? Why exactly did they have him shoot, reload, shoot again, then attack? They don't have a horse in the away mission.

>>280847256
>at this range
>waiting with whirlwind
man they suck

>>280847317
Kuruma was damaged, he was easier, if he failed his shot on Osamu like he did, he would have killed Kuruma for real and that's one easy point he'd miss on.

>>280845480
>>280845415
Reminder that Hyuse has the 2nd highest trion in the series, distantly behind Chika.
Ban Tamakoma-2.

>>280847293
cause i'm free freee fallin

>>280847287
they have whirlwind equipped on both of them and know his position.

>>280847197
It's even better animated.

>>280847054

>>280847206
Should he be able to shoot ibis again this quickly? Koala talked about reloading making him vulnerable.

>>280847387
>emotionlessly shooting kids?
>yeah, that's my thing
No one ever noticed azuma was in the mall.

For someone who was about to throw the match Ema really carried this round for the Kageura squad

>>280847387
If you think you are fine but he is on the map, you are not.

>>280847357
But ema doesn't know that, all he sees are 5 dots on radar, 3 of them fighting and 2 standing still.

>>280847429
Thank you Arafune

>>280847387
Anti-sniper map my ass.

>>280847437
Doesn't he have info from his operator? They can run 3d models.

>>280847468
Our heroes and the canadian...

Chapter 173: Azuma Squad

>>280845415
why is this allowed again?

>>280847387
>fighting indoors
>both snipers use ibis
More confirmation that lightning is all but useless.

>>280847429
he got lucky with his opponents, if Azuma's shitters chose to rush it he'd die with 1 point to his name max.

>>280847431
You know what's worse than Azuma being there?
Not knowing he's there.

>>280847517
just you wait

>>280847483
she has no vision of the area, she can't know who is who

>>280847483
Operator can only add names to dots identified by their teammates, although i guess that kuruma and ko would already be marked given they never reequiped bagworm after fighting kageura and kitazoe.

>>280847517
>he doesn't know

>>280846884
Load bearing etc.

>>280847548
>and that single point came from one of Azuma squad's favortie maneuvers
>where the two attackers do fucking nothing for 5 minutes and the snipers solo kills.
ftfy Arashiyama

>>280847548
Should have grasshoppere'd osamu out the building.

>>280847064
Now that's BULLSHIT

>>280847107
That's the important thing.
Osamu is so weak that trading anything to deal with him is a loss.

>>280845977
>>280846014
>still supports kage on his last few moments
truly the best support

>>280847692
>how do you make azuma bail?
>bumrush him 9 vs 1
Truly the scorpion of the b rank.

>>280847692
>Yuba, Oji, Katori focus fire
YEAH EAT SHIT AZUMA EAT SHIT
no way that was a good match for his team, 3 rapists from all sides. Rokuro probably still died though.

What's the range for bail out in rank wars again? I honestly think the best play for Osamu would be to have Hyuse catapult him with escudo and then bail out ASAP. Even if he gets sniped on the way out it still denies Kageura squad the point.

>>280847133
Ema has has enough time to get in position, identify targets, calculate the timing and shoot a half dead guy before the two clowns made their move.

>>280847766
60 meters if I recall

>>280847766
20m I think? The good play would have been throw him in front of azuma.

>>280847766

TADAIMA

It's time right?

>>280847791
They just mentioned that such blatant point manipulation is penalty tier.

>>280847766
Azuma would have shoot him mid flight through the window and 2 walls. On that note kill would go to Azuma so maybe it was worth it.

>>280845139
>>280845206
>>280846798
Most squads can only dream of getting to Kuga and Hyuse's level of teamwork, let alone in a matter of days.

>>280847832
Yes.

Why is their team name Suzunari-1 by the way when Suzunari-2 is non existent?

>>280846884
lmao

>>280847853
Azuma is such an evil shit.

>>280847865
Maybe they exist but they're one of those don't visit HQ agents.

>>280847888
He just wants to support his kids a bit.
And stressing out the operator is fair play.
And fairer than what's coming.

>>280847794
>>280847799
nta but his plan was for Osamu to escape into legal retreat range. It wouldn't count as point manipulation even if Azuma shot him on the way out as the goal would be to escape, not to feed the point.

>>280847865
What if one day there is a two?

>>280845548
Kage was separated from Zoe, surprise attacked with "Asteroid" and Kougetsu then attacked from his blind spot by Yuma without triggering his side effect and he sitll blocked most of the damage and cut Yuma's arm.
Kage squad in the B-rank is really unfair for everyone else.

>>280847965
Yes Osamu, amazing idea.

>>280847931
Azuma has definitely trained to be able to move like a bot on the radar.

>>280847965
Here it comes.

>>280847965
Kill em all Chika

Chika will do anything osamu asks her, with a smile.

>>280848051
a reminder that Usami decided to equip Chika with meteor for this match, it was her call. All those beacons evaporated, Okudera and Koala's pants all are gone because of her. She is the best. Just the best.

>>280848051
Just, just teach chika to make some composite bullets.
Her hornets would just assrape everything.

Everyone is panicking.
I don't think a single team could survive chika.

>>280846194
>we overlooked
No Hyuse, you did, it was your job to take the kill there, not Kuga´s. For trying to save viper for Suzunari you fucked up and lost the point.

finally T2's last member enters her villain arc. No mercy from now on.

>>280848405
You'll see

>>280848353
One of the few authors that actually understands what makes portals overpowered.

>>280848353
why did I never realize that Alektor only created creatures that hatch from eggs?

>>280848426
outdated trigger by the way

>>280848405
Fixed shield might work

>>280848405
>>280848438
Asuma already did it vs kitazoe

>>280848176
Really ever since Chika took a potshot at the four agents after Osamu got wall sniped, people should have realized that it's not that "Chika can't shoot people" but rather "Chika can't shoot people, yet. But she is working on it.". As such they should have been fearing since then that "catch them in an explosion when they're in a building and can't actually be seen" was a work around she'd found.

>>280846886
Yuma doesn't seem to be that good at shooting in mid battle.
He never bothered in coyping shooting triggers until he fought against Border members and he barely used the shooting trigger when he was fighting against Vyza.

>>280848353
Hyuse will become a Zoe soon at this rate with the way Tamakoma is feeding him..

>>280848538
Aslong as he doesn't become Mai it's fine.

>>280847069
He didn't change its color, he summoned a new one without the blackening.

>>280848560
Uh oh Azuma doing something

>>280848353
So Mira' portals cant chop off objects..
hmm.. interesting..

>>280846957
Hence why you need at least 4 trion to do something in Border.

>>280848560
Azuma is in a good mood, someone is about to die

>>280848607
this is a very cute concerned Chika, with very cute pale thighs

>>280847938
If it were any other team, it could be chalked off as just a reckless escape that got cut off by Azuma. But everyone knows that T-2 is gunning for points and competing against the others for the spot, so "it'd be fine if Azuma sniped me instead so I can deny a point" can be interpreted as manipulation.

>>280848765
wuss

>>280848743
it would be a tricky thing yes, especially because the didn't do it immediately, the longer they waited the bigger the suspicion towards manipulation.

The sad thing about me is that reading all of the explanations from the commentary make the strategies and decisions make sense, but I feel like I could never come up with these strategies in the first place if I was in their shoes.
Probably why I'm really shitty at games like RTS or DoTA.

This manga makes you swap favourites constantly

>>280848793
>>280848830
Osamu needed to hear this.

>>280848743
Trying to get Osamu to bail out before trion leakage gives a point to another squad is perfectly legitimate. I think that thought should take priority in deciding if it's manipulation.
On another note, since this is Azuma we're talking about, if he got a shot in he'd probably intentionally only shoot off a leg so the point would go to Kageura anyway.

>>280848517
Then again, in the previous round she made such a blatant show of not shooting Oji that most people wouldn't think she'd be able to get over it. Not to mention nobody thinking she'd have Meteor equipped.

>>280847602
So it's Hikari's fault for not telling Ema who was who.
Thanks to Kage and Zoe, she could have identified everyone in that floor.
Maybe not Osamu since she wouldn't know if it was Osamu or the retarded duo, but it would have him 99% him anyways due to the position.

If Chika can shoot people T2 is automatically an A rank squad, right?

>>280848938
>lightning is shit they said

>>280848765
Hyuse respects Chika more than Osamu

>>280848051
BOOM
This is one is always amazing

>>280848960
Obviously
Imagine the ibis annihilation beams she could point at people. There's no shielding that

>>280848857
Yuma saves Osamu's bacon as usual. if not for Osamu's giant "worry about something I don't understand/have missed" they would clean house here.

>>280848938
>Azuma has a brick

>>280848986
He barely respects Osamu, I tend to dislike his attitude because he's always
>I know better and I'm better so I'm right
and ashihara's writing actually reinforces this.
Wish he got humbled some more.

>>280848960
More like S rank with Hyuse, and A without.

>>280847648
They are hunting dogs

>>280849042
He's gonna clonk Hyuse on the head for max BM

>>280849061
well

>>280847781
Kage is their ace, but Ema was the one who scored 2 points. Zoe stopped Tamakoma 2 from getting points. Kage survived the Taichi light trick, getting ganged by Yuma + Hyuse and heavily damaged Yuma.
Kage squad is a balanced team.

>>280849061
I mean he has respect for Chika as a combatant in a way Osamu doesn't. He babies her way too much.

>>280849103
Indeed Fucking leaf, Indeed.

>>280849110
Kage squad is just three highly skilled people teaming up, sure they look at the logs but they don't make huge complicated strats to succeed, i like them

Chapter 175: Hyuse: Part 7

>>280849093
Even in this case, if they had followed HIS plan it would have gone well because Yuuma would have been backup and they could have gone on the hunt and murder azuma right there.
I don't think he ever makes a single bad call ever since he joins, and throughout the excel arc, he feels extremely gary stuish half the time.

>>280849061
Hyuse gets humbled often enough, and it's clear with logical thinking gets skewed when his emotions get the better of him.

>>280849135
>Konami went from nothing in particular to number 1 with baby kogetsus in under a year

>>280849209
OUT FUCKING SKILLED

>>280848006
Azuma studies war tactics in his university while also doing secret investigation about trion and trigger with their labs. Outside his university, he spends time raising new kids to be fine A rank agents.
Azuma is marrid to Border.

>>280849061
It is odd that Osamu's whole thing is coming up with unique strategies but then Hyuse is often presented as his equal at it, which kind of makes you think the team wouldn't lose anything if Osamu was replaced by a better combatant at this point.

>>280848451
To be fair, there's a lot of reasons why portals are overpowered.
Being able to be anywhere at any time is already overpowered. Being able to cut anything in addition is double overpowered.

>>280849061
He's just pissed at how protective he is for Chika to the point he's willing to take the bait and fuck the team over, Hyuse wants her to become a real combatant

>>280849209
Someone has been coaxed into a snafu.

>>280849135
>If we get a lot more followers, my editor promised to let me write a manga where people die.

>>280849248
This is the actual issue, at least Yuma is more balanced.

>>280849209
lmao gottem

>>280849209
what a fucking troll, what has this guy been through that lead to these moves?

>>280849171
He is Afto's military noble elite, he was personalty trained 1 on 1 by Viza for 8-9 years, his political power is such that even Hyurein must drop him before he can deal with his master and even then didn't even kill him, probably out of fear of further escalation.
Hyuse is a giant fucking deal, he is the elite of the elite. So this is only natural, and makes his other blunders more hilarious.

>>280849135
Trion sex confirmed possible.

>>280849287
Being THE sniper.

>>280849209
just Azuma things

>>280848793
>>280849209
roru

hyuse's sloppy fucked ass

>>280849318
so who's the better sniper, azuma or that afro guy?

>Has low KDA even though you're winning
>Decide to risk it to increase KDA
>Fall into the trap and feed
Damn just like my online games

>>280849135
How fucking high are Kazama and Konami's points if she doesn't even do rank wars and he rarely does solo battles, and they are still at 2 and 3? Or maybe Tachikawa and Kazama just beat up 4th place enough that they can never become #3.

>>280849336
It’s a pompadour

>>280849289
>and makes his other blunders more hilarious.
The problem is that these "blunders" are in irrelevant shit.
Can you name a single bad call hyuse has ever made regarding battle, tactics or whatever? ONE?
Personality and fish out of the water stuff aside, he's basically perfect.

>>280848743
Nah, if he's trying to escape then there's no way to argue it was manipulation.

I forgot how many insane plays this match had

>>280849209
Look at all these Escudos man, how much trion could one canadian possibly have. Or are they that cheap to make

>>280849248
They are no equals, Hyuse is better than Osamu in both strategy and tactics, what he lacks however is the madness factor only Osamu has. Which makes the plans they come up with wildly different. The main issue in the current scenario is that Osamu will protect Chika above all else, so he cannot show that off in this setting.

>>280849373
And I mean after jin stuff, obviously.

>>280849370
has this guy ever been flustered in his life?

>>280849394
His Trion stat is 14. Horns OP.

>>280849306
>I died, blow everything up.

>>280849373
he should've bagwormed and did a tactical retreat in the final rank wars match after he got the shittiest of spawns, instead he got fucked by 6 people simultaneously. he's too overconfident.

>>280849250
look at Azuma's face holy shit
>damn
>that fucking leaf ruined my shoe
>I guess this counts as a draw

>>280849336
Toma can't wallbang, but he is the better shot.

Could Osamu potentially get a horn upgrade after visiting afto?

>>280849433
Lighting is very useful see? It can despawn so Ibis can delete someone.

>>280848388
No surprise here with how much this swine eats.

>>280849433
BAN A-RANK SMURFS NOW

>>280849444
Is he? I don't think we've ever seen Azuma TRY?
Like his finest play is basically a troll here >>280849433

>>280849448
Considering its some kind of surgery that is put into their heads that can entangle with their brains and can't be removed? Probably not, but never say never.

>>280849414
Hyuse has 18, outside of Black Triggers and Chika, he has the highest amount of Trion in Border so far.
>>280849448
No, Horns are implanted at a young age to stimulate more growth

>>280849336
On sniping itself, Toma, but Azuma is unrivalled in terms of strategy. Which means, Toma will 100% hit whatever target he says he will shoot at, but he cannot read the battle that well (Kitora got him back in the BT retrieval arc). Meanwhile, Azuma can overturn real bad fights into his squad's favor.

>>280849332
>shoots at people

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=braPj1gXAl0
Always liked this MAD of the round. Next one has a fun one too.

>>280849508
>18
Holy fuck I forgot it was that high.

>>280849332
Ban chika
Nerf chika
excel sim chika was super balanced, only thing border devs got right.

>>280849478
He has better skill and attack in his stats.

>>280849401
That's an insane score considering it's against Kage and Azuma squad.

>>280849373
>a single bad call hyuse has ever made regarding battle
none. as I sad there will be none of those from him. It is his forte, what he was trained for his whole life by the absolute best.
>Personality and fish out of the water stuff aside
but these are his blunders. When he gets too emotional and starts fighting Jin like an idiot, or when he gets his face bashed in by Reji, or when Viza has to save him 2 times in a row. Hyuse gets emotional and makes mistakes but when he keeps his cool he is the best cookie around. In the rank war setting he is not going to make any blunders.

>>280849433
Lightningchads we're finally useful!

>>280849512
>(Kitora got him back in the BT retrieval arc)
With a scorpion leg while Toma was on top of a building. I wouldn't say that implies he can't read a battle, he just didn't offer a daily prayer to the scorpion god.

>>280849554
Yeah, because suzunari is NO nino squad, that's the trifecta of evil.

>>280849518
lmfao Hyuse still seething

>>280849460
Lightning is the best doorstop.

>>280849518
STILL mad

>>280849209
>raped osamu so hard he got into bondage
>rapes operators left and right
>rapes hyuse through severe bamboozling
GODzuma strikes again

>>280849332
fair and balanced 38 trion meteor. buildings go poof

Be honest, if you were C-rank with your real life physical skills, wouldn't watching these high B-rank fights be kinda demoralizing? It's one thing to train with a gun and pew pew enemies, but then you watch the action hero shit that goes down...

>>280849336
I'd say Azuma.
Toma died to a fucking Kitora and only got one kill against Arashiyama. He is hard carried by Fuyushima and gets too cocky.
Meanwhile Azuma does shit like this like its the most boring thing ever and has the skills to casually shoot down flying bullets.

>>280849379
It'd depend on how reckless of an escape it is, and that'd be up to interpretation. Having Hyuse launch him up the atrium is certainly a way to escape, but anyone watching would think that's just asking him to be sniped, for example. They probably wouldn't want that deliberation in the first place.

>>280849569
I believe he could have no-scoped Kitora if he had caught her while checking his surroundings.

>>280849433
c-counters to this ?

>>280849632
Yup time to become an engineer and try to make something more broken than Scorpion. Unless I've lucked into being a Trion gigachad then I can make up for it.

>>280849672
Not fighting azuma.
Being more of a man and not having strong peripheral vision.

>>280849370
>get hit once
>rage quit
Azuma really is a smurf.

>>280849433
>what happens when Azuma is in a good mood
b-rank sniper btw.

>>280849672
Erm, bumrush his ass.

>>280849705
His team wanted to bail out and koala survived, so may as well fuck off.

>>280849632
I think it as follows: Olympic sports records keep getting broken each new generation, which means these youngsters have watched the previous record holder in action, and have not lost their spirit. Those among C-rank with enough resolve will watch it and learn, as those live events translate into invaluable knowledge.

>>280849448
maybe, they were working on the horns for a long time so there is a chance newer more stable horns could be implanted. Just imagine he could have 4 trion after just one little invasive brain surgery!

>>280849717
>you need yuba
>and katori
>and oji the troll
>all together to murder him (oji was 100% behind this strategy)
Nino AND kage can't go against him, together.

>>280849672
The instant you even get a whiff of Azuma start grasshoppering around in random directions.

>>280849433
Absolutely insane play.
I love this power system so much.

>>280849518
Yes you had pointers from Jin. Training, even.

>>280849781
>he actually whips out his lightning skills and shoots you faster than you can jump

>>280849518
its for life, Jin probably poked him with scorpion in improper places

>>280849823
>the cunt
>the sperg
>the simp
Ah nino squad, so deceitful.

Koala and Okudera pretty did nothing lmao. Even Taichi had a bigger impact.

>>280849568
Kage there kinda reminds me of Katori, being Ace & captain is tough shit even if he has Zoe & Nire to fix it up for him.

>>280849852
Osamu had to protect them from becoming Ema's points

>>280849789
Ikoma squad, my heroes and the only legal squad in the top 5

>>280849672
barricading yourself in escudos

>>280849769
Kage was willing but Hikari wouldn't let him

>>280849868
It's not like he's spending a lot of time strategizing

>>280849598
cute gap moe

>>280849632
fuck no, I'd want to shoot fun bullets at fast targets. it would hype me the fuck up.

>>280849885
If they actually had proper meetings before matches they would be A-rank.

>>280849894
Because kage is 100% dead meat against Azuma, he has no counterplay against snipers because he doesn't need it.

>>280849905
>normal, sword-like shape
Scorpion can do that?

Chapter 176: Eizo Netsuki

>>280849905
>a color piece with a lot more characters
Alright where is it

>>280849687
Someone on Azuma team has interesting taste in stuffed dolls.

>>280849936
It should be the all captains one that's coming soonish.

>>280849518
He got hands-on training from Jin.

>>280849931
only thing it cant do is save yuma from dying

>>280849931
No, that's just a border PR image. That's actually a modified Kogetsu.

>>280849941
Must be the resident horror movie enthusiast Mako

>>280849931
Didn't Kuga leave swordlike scorpions on Oji's corpse?

>>280849672
>counters to Azuma
Chika's meteor hitting his location while he is not looking in her general direction. that is about it.
They said it a few chapters ago but last time Azuma bailed out it happened because he was focused by Yuba, Oji & Katori. So the only other option is focus fire from several teams.

>>280846757
you wouldn't get it. now vacate the thread

>>280849947
I want one like the former tamakoma group picture with someone laughing and all happy.

The only manga that scratches my team battle itch is Kingdom. It also has a female Yuga lol.

>>280849518
Jin taught you how to do the stuck in wall trick, how to separate you from your friends and how annoyin Escudo spamming can be.

>>280849941
its Mako, the only person who rapes Azuma.

>>280849986
She's so cute holy shit

>>280849672
At that point you need to either have high IQ yourself or be in a team with someone who does. This is a chess duel, whoever blunders a move loses.

I wonder who else has Azuma-levels of strategy among A-rank? I think Fuyushima, Izumi, Kazama, perhaps Kitora, Narasaka (as sniper #2 he must know his fellow sniper well in battle).

>>280849026
Insane level of Trion, probably around 100 Escudos this match.

>>280849986
is osamu dying for real?

>>280846923
oh my god Osamu how can you fail to kill him in one hit this time jesus

>>280850018
Katagiri probably, he seems a strategic type and knows Azuma well

>>280849568
Yuma really loves his celebration rituals.

>>280849705
>>280849724
It only makes sense. He used a ton of trion making so many dummy beacons, and then he gets his foot shot off. He can't run and hide, and he's probably running low on trion at this point too, so it's extremely unlikely he can make a comeback or even hide until the rest of the match.

>>280849769
>Oji was behind
not quite, Katori doesn't work like that.
If I had to guess, Azuma got a horrible spawn point next to Katori and she saw him, then immediately charged. Yuba saw Katori charging and wanted to join in on the fun. Naturally Oji is moving there too. Once the goon squad assembled they all targeted Azuma.

>>280850014
>not actively dissing him
this is a huge step forwards

>>280850014
Kikuchihara, the closest thing Osamu has to a friend outside his squad.

>>280850076
cute midgets on the left

>>280850014
Our guy being the usual

>>280850090
>not quite, Katori doesn't work like that.
He could just gently direct her like Osamu did with Suwa squad

Kikuchihara being a genuinely nice person is still one of the best twists in this series.

>>280850014
>Hey faggot did shit today
Osamu's sole external friend

>>280850090
>not quite, Katori doesn't work like that.
Katori CAN be easily manipulated like the raging idiot she is.
A push in the right direction, maybe azuma murdering one of her cronies, should be enough to make her want to murder him.

>>280849135
So if Kageura never managed to beat Konami's score, she was somewhere above 15,000. That gives us:
>Tachikawa 45000
>Kazama: >>15000
>Konami: >15000
>Kageura: 15000 before his penalty
>Murakami: 12000
>Ikoma: 11200
>Yukimaru: ~11200 (close enough to Ikoma that someone could remember which was number 6)
>Unknown: >10000 (there are seven attackers above 10000)
Mystery number 7 is probably Yoneya, or Kuroe.

>>280850130
That's kazama, kikuchihara just likes to troll.

>>280850107
>Kikuchi had Utagawa deliver the news instead of calling her directly
Tsundere to the max

>>280850076
Kazama is so cute.
He looks younger here than Kuga somehow.
No wonder he keeps getting loads of chocolates every year.

>>280850127
Sensory side effects just make you more empathic. You hate people you hate more and like people you like more.

Yes. The Canadian gave him aids.

>>280850137
super rare shocked usami

>>280848530
Is there even a benefit to them bailing out though? It'd be their loss either way, but at least staying a fighting gives them a slim chance at gaining 1 or 2 points, and it even ended up working out like that. T-2 getting more points off of them doesn't affect them in any way either.

>>280850107
>>280850137
all he had to do was not wear a black uniform in a room of whites and not nuke everyone

>>280850147
Kazama is an admirer, not a friend.

>>280850149
The guy has a crush on Shiori so probably didn't take that much work to do

>>280850180
Knowing when to retreat is an important skill in a fight and he's acting as an instructor more than a commander.

>>280849632
Not really.
My reflexes are quite good, but I am too lazy to properly train my body (I am 10kg underweight now). But with Trion body I can probably be a mid tier B rank agent.
Even with my weak body I can do backlfips and I used to go to the beach and walk the tightrope while jumping (I don't know the name, but it's that elastic rope. There used to be some people playing with it so I asked all the time).
My aim is utter shit so I can't be a gunner.

>>280850180
Azuma is just training them to have a mindset for real battles.

>>280850180
Azuma is teaching them how to stay alive in real combat situations, not to min max b-rank war results.

>>280850169
I totally understand how you feel
Especially when the competition is so shit

>>280849672
To anyone who read to ongoing, just to remind you the absolute state of Azuma, Rindo has 65 points in his stats. Azuma has 66 and his special tactics stat is at "5" for some reason, so he is actually at 71. Pretty much all of Azuma stats are at 10 and defense is at 11 eclipsing both Reiji & Ko. yeah he isn't just a smurf, he is this stupid ass fucking thing. A-ranks will get a reminder, he will pull his hands out of the pockets.

>>280850265
His am I only here to babysit? during the excel arc gives me hope he actually enjoys the all out war exam.

He actually wants to have fun but is to apathetic to admit it.

>>280850233
Man isn't it great to have one of the most powerful people in Border on speed dial

>>280850140
Yoneya was around 9k back when Kuga first fought Midorikawa.

>>280849845
>>280849878
Izumi likes all out attacks. I'm thinking he would love to tutor Chika on how to have bullets for brains.

>>280850233
>>280850271
>>280850304
Time for Osamu to level up his most OP skill: bureaucracy

>>280849672
You have someone to back you up, hence why Hyuse and Yuma should've been together, Azuma is a master strategist and is always 1 step ahead

>>280850199
he was being a bro and giving Utagawa a reason to talk to his crush

>>280849954
is this the first appearance of swolesamu? Look at this guy

Thats right C-ranks don't believe your lying eyes

FROMU CANADA

>>280850199
>>280850388
I don't think Utagawa has a crush on her, he's just a gentleman and knows how to talk to girls. If anything she was the one who recruited him into Kazama squad

>>280850396
a fucking leaf

>>280850312
Azuma is really too mature to be just 25.
I wonder what horrors he's seen in his away missions.

>>280850140
Kuroe being even more of a wild child than Midorikawa and beating him to 10k would be funny.

>>280850454
>I think Azuma told Satori about this
Once again Satori takes the brunt

>>280850065
Kuruma is not Wakamura and he wasn't filled with Lead Bullets.

Osamu's doubt is what cost them those points.
