You created this slightly too early anon,
>>281146717 is still alive.
>>281174050Oh damn, you're right.
And that thread isn't very active anyway, so it'll probably last a while.
So…….why can’t Kuga use his BT?
>>281175923He's not allowed by border.
That was the deal.
>>281175923He'd be automatically promoted to S rank, and could no longer be on Mikumo's squad.
>>281175923He'll probably use it on the away mission.
well /a/? did you have a fun time reading or rereading world trigger?
>>281176707Reading with /a/ anything can be fun.
>>281161756Whomst? He looks Canadian.
>>281161857>jonging SuwaAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>281179196He's the guy in the bottom right. He's one of the four surviving adults from Old Border. For some reason he's kept to a background position rather than get up to a leadership position, even though by seniority he probably should have the tanuki's job.
>>281162987>I swear, Meeden technology is utterly primitive. On the other hand, over in Canada...
>>281163476>freezes in front of older menHot. Rape.
>>281163527Seems like a useful side effect with fair limitations. Will trion attacks just pass by or will they hurt her and or her astral projection?
>There is no squad running around in mage robes
>>281179300And Half Are Gone
>>281167753I'm pretty sure the whole "Operators can change their triggers" thing is because normally the operators aren't using triggers at all. So they'd all have a blank trigger set by default, and dumping them into the field without so much as the ability to equip a bagworm would make no sense. I imagine most of them will equip a bagworm tag, shields, and (trion permitting) triggers good for escape like grasshopper or teleport.
I'm also certain Border will have provisions in place to prevent a "invincible operator goes around shooting agents" scenario. Border isn't that stupid. Either operators won't be able to move more than a few feet away from their laptops, offensive triggers won't be an option for operators, or equipping an offensive trigger will remove the operator "invincibility".
>>281179279>For some reason he's kept to a background position rather than get up to a leadership position, even though by seniority he probably should have the tanuki's job.He wears Old Border's emblem. He definitely sides with Tamakoma
>>281179300Old Border already sounds good for a band.
>>281179786The only thing I think we have left to reread is the BBF, but dumpanon may be too tired to do it.
>>281167753Now replace your Asteroid with Meteor, Osamu!
REPLACE IT
>>281180726The madman would replace Bailout with Meteor instead.
>>281175923He can. He'd just be S rank and squadless like Amo. He chose to use regular border triggers so he could be on Osamu's and Chika's squad. And it makes no difference to the higher ups since they can always just tell him to use his BT in the event of an emergency.
>>281176707I did, yes. It felt like we were able to get more into the autistic minutia than in the normal chapter threads
Nino will teach Chika composite bullets and she will spam Hornet on A-rank asses in phase 2
>>281180980We're gonna see the first meteor^2 composite
>>281181011Her gimlets might be more useful. It should take fewer of them to bust through a terminal shield than her ibis.
>>281179279Kido's smile...it warms my heart
>>281166313I didn't expect Katori to separate the issues like that.
>>281181185>Kido's smileCould Osamu put it back together again?
>>281166436SEE NIGGERS, YOU NEED THAT DERE SIDE TO EMERGE EVEN FOR A LITTLE BIT! THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A PROPER TSUNDERE! I'M NOW ROOTING FOR KATORI AND OSAMU TO BREED AT LEAST A BASEBALL TEAM'S WORTH OF BABIES!
>>281173528 (OP)This series was so mid honestly. Literally C grade I would say, at least its not as bad as Black Clover which is like F tier with all the usual Shounen shenanigans.
>>281166788BOOOOOOOO, GET OUT!
>>281181421Don't worry
Saki will make sure Kitora get out
You fucking bet Saki's boyband will kill Kitora every single time
>>281167145Ultima is good at sneaky kills, right? This should be right up his alley.
Sayoko scouts with side effect then viper snipes someone. Nasu would be proud.
>>281181573Utagawa squad as a whole is practically made for operator assassinating.
Also, about Kuga….why the FUCK isn’t his home country going crazy trying to get back their BT user? Are BT carriers just free agents who get to go anywhere they want?
>>281167293I can see them use spiders to huddle down and protect the place from attacks while Chika go crazy on the terminals. Plus Kikuchi is on their side, so they can counter any attempts at sneaky fags. But I hope they use another more interesting strategy.
>>281181729Kuga (and Kugo) joined that countries cause but they weren't loyal. And Kuga left after they drove off the invading force, so I assume they left on good terms, or Kuga probably wouldn't have a place to go if he did leave Meeden early on.
>>281167501That's a bizarre rule. Isn't it worse if the enemy neighbors manage to defeat you and nab the laptop? Unless there's a safety measure that will blow the laptop up.
>>281181729He doesn't have a home country. He and Yugo were wanderers. The one he was fighting for was just as a favor to a friend of Yugo's and then a sense of obligation by Yuma to see things through to the end of their war. Their leaders were also total cunts who talked about wishing he'd died instead right there in front of him. So they were lucky he stayed as long as he did.
>>281167501Oh yeah, I want to see Nino's reaction towards this rule.
>BUT THAT'S HATOHARA'S SPECIALTY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMaybe?
>>281179646Why would they hurt her? She's just sending out a trion projection.
>>281167831>>281167871I wonder how good they are. I'm expecting a lot because Shinoda's performance back then.
Okay, I didn't expect that.
>>281182119Imagine if he joined the fight in the second invasion
>>281176707I already had the opinion that WT was one of a kind.
This re-read with /a/ was not only extremely fun but it reminded that WT is TRULY one of a kind.
What a good manga.
I've been reading it together with Gantz another TRULY of a kind storytime, and this was probably my least productive month of the whole year. I did nothing but stay here all day. Fuck. I kept saving pages that'll probably create dust on the mountain of folders on my pc.
>>281182119I hope he has his own experimental trigger.
>>281182154He should considering that T1's experimental triggers are based off ones he personally got in the neighborhood.
>Ashihara’s neck breaks from all the drawing he has to do for combat phase
>>281165830>>281165858For all intents and purposes, A1 and A2 are each half a squad. Remove Yuiga (human training weight) and group Tachikawa, Izumi, Fuyushima and Toma together, and I suspect this hypothetical team might be an even match for A0, maybe even slightly better considering Konami feels like the kind of fighter who would be vulnerable to Tachikawa's traps. Of course, this is assuming Jin doesn't rejoin A0.
>>281182542*Fuyushima's traps
Not sure how I missed that error.
>>281182154>>281182238He's just going to style on everyone with Escudo spam.
>>281182008For some reason I think it will hurt her mentally/physically because it doesn't involve a trigger.
Kronin can do viper bullshit, can't he? He's never been mentioned as being in that club. But I don't think most of the people that have talked about that know much about him. And he designed it.
>>281182831I think at most it might stun/disorient her from the abrupt shift back to her normal senses. It's just extruded trion. It'd be like a scorpion getting broken.
since operators can't be harmed for this exercise, can't one just hide their laptop somewhere and then just run around the enemy side to scout or draw fire? it's against the spirit of the event but not illegal.
>>281183055Is that distraction worth every member of that squad running completely blind and without any form of communication?
>>281183025>Kronin's Viper bullshit>no wonder Hyuse's good at it
>>281181185The charm of this manga is that I couldn't bring myself to hate him. He has his people's best interests at heart, and despite his hatred of neighbors, he's a good guy. Hopefully his faith gets restored.
>>281181383Zoomerspeak faggot got filtered, good shit.
>>281183025He's responsible for some of the most broken shit, actually: Viper and Scorpion. He's good at translating neighbor technology using meeden's capabilities.
>>281183358>Hey Hyuse, why did you never told us you uncle is so good at viper, was he the one who teached you how to use it?
Regardless of how season 1 was, this opening song was absolute kino
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qku6YbHSf70
>>281183691Agreed, which is why I love seeing all those AMVs of S2 and S3 using this song.
>>281180816>AmoI missed a few of the threads, did we ever find out what Amo's fighting style is like? I only remember seeing the aftermath of his fights.
>>281182143>I've been reading it together with Gantzsame, I hadn't read either in a long time so I'd forgotten a lot.
>>281184162We still know basically nothing outside of him being inhumane while fighting and that his BT is more focused on pure power.
>>281183111their squad could have been wiped out already. it also makes me wonder, can operators use attack triggers? some have the trion for it, and at least one was a former combatant.
>>281184193Damn I was hoping I'd missed something. Oh well I'm not too frustrated since we've only seen him a few times anyways, hopefully he comes along on the Away mission I guess. I was wondering if he might be a Trion giant like Chika but they'd have mentioned it when referring to Trion levels imo. Iirc the battlefield was pretty much leveled in the panels we saw during the Neighbor invasion.
>>281184247If we're lucky he might show up as a bonus round in this test. Otherwise, I figure we'll be waiting until Meeden gets attacked during the away mission to see what he's capable of.
>>281180557Bagworm tag actually makes a lot of sense since most operators have shit trion levels, and this is the perfect opportunity for them to explain what it does instead of leaving it as a BBF blurb.
>>281167930>>281171990>>281167942I don't think Miwa hates Tamakoma, or does he?
>>281184226this is a good point actually: when a whole squad gets wiped out, how will they put the operators to good use while they respawn? If they send them out to die, they have to time it so that they respawn before their team or risk using a blind team, there could potentially be some number crunching to see which specific operators can time their respawn right according to their team's Trion levels and time of bail.
>>281184337He has a negative bias against them. But that was more during the beginning when they were sheltering Kuga, along with when Jin was informing him about saving Mikumo.
I think it's mellowed out now.
>>281184312>waiting until Meeden gets attacked during the away missionI can't recall reading any other manga where most of the readership has been patiently waiting for what a lot consider the ''meat'' of the manga for over a decade now. I see a few negative comments online but mostly people are just happy Ashihara is back and somewhat regular. I don't count HxH because most of the fandom considers there will never be a Dark Continent arc
>>281184337I don't think he likes them because of their relationship with neighbors but i sure don't think he hates them either.
>>281184162>>281184247BBF mentioned he is an all-rounder when not using his BT, also he has 9 trion. Very powerful honestly.
>>281182143>I've been reading it together with GantzEw what a waste of potential but all the series from that author are waste potential, maybe his new series will break the curse?
>>281184376>I can't recall reading any other manga where most of the readership has been patiently waiting for what a lot consider the ''meat'' of the manga for over a decade now.Like every sport manga is like that and some fantasy shoujo/Josei series
>>281184613Really? I've never read much sports manga besides H2. Same for the other genres you listed, guess it's just new to me.
What would be your trion soldier and alternate trigger selections for the B rank squads?
For Ninomiya squad, I'd keep all the guys' triggers the same except maybe bagworm tag for Azuma and Ema if the trion savings are worth it. Regular bagworm, two shields, and a raygust for Rin. I think they're going to be planted in place a lot with A ranks coming for them, so defense is more important for their operator than stealth. For Chika go full artillery mode with escudo to build herself a bunker.
Escudo / Ibis
Hound / Hound
Bagworm / Meteor
Shield / Shield
Trion soldiers would include nimble mounts for Azuma and Ema. And defensive mounts with armor and shields for Ninomiya and Chika. A few standard attacker dudes to guard the artillery. And some cheap, weak little attacker and shooter bugs to scatter around their position to force assaults to either slow down and deal with them or get chewed up if they try and rush through.
For Utagawa squad everyone uses their normal triggers. Give Shiki a normal bagworm, two shields, and chameleon. I think they'll be in the thick of things and she's got a lot of trion so two shield would be better than bagworm tag.
For trion soldiers, nimble mounts for everyone. Some sneaky spotter bugs and drones to scout ahead. And a pack of some fast, evasive ones like Galopoula's dogs to help distract both when launching attacks and when disengaging. I'm not sure how the jamming or stealth would work over long periods, but if it's something that can be turned on and off to conserve it, then that would be worth including too.
Can't think of what anyone else would use. Other than Yuba needing a horse.
>>281182282Honestly, I'm kinda worried it'll be hard to capture all the happenings during this phase. I pray Ashihara doesn't worsen his neck.
>>281183055hmm.. what if.. trion soldier laptops acting as decoy laptop..
>>281184337Tamakoma welcomes N********
Miwa hates N********
Therefore Miwa hates Tamakoma
But then again, the albino shrimp and 4 eyes are growing on him.
>>281185488Great idea, Taichi.
>>281183055>it's against the spirit of the event but not illegal.It may be illegal or otherwise impossible. Remember, all we've gotten is the broad overview of the rules. Little details like that would normally be in the full text of the rules they planned to send to the agents after the announcement. No one is going complain that the initial explanation doesn't include a detail like "operators will not be able to move more than arms reach from their laptop" or some such.
>>281183468I can do it if you guys want. Same pace as other dump anons though.
They didn't say anything about not being allowed to kill your allies so I 100% expect Osamu to tell Katori or Suwa to off him if the A-rankers found him (they will)
>>281185824You'd need to sudoku anyway when you're tapped out of trion because no regen.
>>281183873>AMVsAny you recommend? The two anons mentioned before were great.
>>281185658It would be nice to have it dumped.

>>281187573I think it's two things: A) Ashihara hasn't shown us how controlling triggers actually work. Do you control triggers like muscles or is there a menu in your brain? Activating senku might take some thought or effort that we can't see.
B) Mangaka have no sense of time. 1 second is a long time in a fight. 0.2s is really nothing special for a skilled swordsman. Its not as bad as some manga, where people will punch twice in ten minutes.

>>281188562my guy Hanazaki is above Azuma in skill and range and exceed's Toma's range. On average his stats are better than Toma's and he is one of 3 snipers global who go over 10 in skill and range. On stats alone he is rank 3 sniper after Toma & Narasaka.
Neither Arafune nor Hokari are anywhere close to him. On stats alone only Azuma is his peer in b-rank.

>Box of Questions DX
From over 3000 questions, Ashihara-sensei personally hand-picked 303 questions to answer.
Character Related Questions
Q.001
Please tell me when Yuma's birthday is. [Many]
(Note: Some questions are marked as [Many] due to many people asking this question.)
A: According to the calendar in the WT world, his birthday is July 18th and is a Sword (Tsurugi).
(Note: Ashihara has created a different set of the 12 constellations for the WT world. Sword is one of them.)
Q.002
What is Yuma's favorite Japanese food out of all of the food he has tried?
A: Konami's chicken curry.
Q.003
Would Yuma die if he removed his black trigger ring? [Many]
A: Not immediately. He can still move for a while if he removed his ring (black trigger), sort of like being cut off from external power and running on internal batteries, and after using up his Trion he will go into a sort of sleep mode and be unable to move. If he is supplied Trion he will be able to move about again. However, without the ring supplying nutrients to his body, he might die if left unattended.
Q.004
Is Yuma able to ride a bicycle yet?
A: He's really good at it now. Today he energetically rode his bike along the river side, and then he fell in the river.
Q.005
How heavy is Replica sensei?
A: Around the weight of an empty rice cooker (0.5L).
Q.006
In chapter 16 what exactly was Replica sensei's plan in defeating Miwa Unit's sniper?
A: Probably something like using the 「Chain」 Seal to bind him up.
Q.007
Did Replica sensei travel with Yugo before Yuma was born? Or was he made specifically to watch over Yuma?
A: He was created specifically to watch over Yuma and be his friend.
Q.008
What is that protruding thing on Osamu's left shoulder?
A: That is the 「Captain's Shoulder」. It marks him as a captain.
Q.009
Osamu is often called Glasses san by the people around him. What does he think about this?
A: Something like 「It's only natural」.
image limit?
>>281189074just Viza things. This guy might have Chika's trion levels. Viza is Afto's national hero wielding their national treasure. He is the "hero who defeated the demon lord" guy. They send him alone at the army and don't just expect him to win, they cannot even fathom him being late for dinner. Him losing is so not on the radar its impossible to even think about.
>>281189111He's a prince after all.
Q.010
How old was Osamu when he started wearing glasses?
A: Even since he was born, but the official records state that he started in 2nd Grade in elementary school.
Q.011

Q.140
In chapter 30 Arashiyama gave the order 「Turn up your radar accuracy for 10 seconds」to Satori, does that mean Satori has some sort of optional Trigger equipped?
A: Adjusting accuracy is a basic function of the radar. Radar and Bail Out are both 「Basic Triggers」, and anybody can use them however they want at any time. Radar constantly drains a minute amount of Trion when in use (and when turning up the accuracy the rate of this drain will increase), thus units will often let the agent with the most amount of Trion use it. Which is why it was Satori who activated the radar.

Q.149
Is there a reason for Scorpions to have different shapes?
A: Jin and Yuma's single edged blade type Scorpion is a stable version that focuses upon balance. Kazama Unit's Scorpion blades have a hollow center which is an attack prioritizing version that focuses upon extending attacks.

Q.154
When was the Kogetsu (Spear) developed and who was involved in developing it?
A: Yoneya went to go find one of the chief engineers one day and they developed it together. The reasoning behind it was that「Due to the Trion used to make the handle for the Kogetsu is lower than the Trion used to make the blade, if we can develop a Kogetsu that has a long handle and a short blade, then even people with low Trion can have a wider range of attack」, thus the spear was developed.
Q.155
Please tell me about the time period in which Raygust was developed and the few things involved in its development.
A: It was developed due to the then top Kogetsu user Terashima Raizo (18), being annoyed with how popular and strong the bullet Triggers were getting, switched to being an engineer, and developed the Raygust with the Shield and Scorpion as a basis, which embodied the concept of「a blade used for countering bullet Triggers」. It was also during this time period that he, Raizo, got fat.
Q.156
Are Shooters derived from Gunners? Who created the Shooter position and how did it happen?
A: The order is that Shooter came first. There are those suited for handling cube bullets and those who aren’t, so gun triggers were developed that anyone can use bullets with a high degree of accuracy, and Gunners were derived.
Q.157
Who comes up with the name of Border’s triggers?
A: There are five Chief Engineers who names the triggers developed by the sections they each lead.
Q.158
What happens if you get attacked in the middle of bailing out?
A: The trigger holder with the flesh body inside is still in the space on [the other side] until you return to base and fall on the mat, so it cannot be attacked. What looks like flying away is the [path] that follows the coordinates to bailout’s destination.
Q.159
Is there a limit to how far you can be from the base and still bailout?
A: There is. Right now activating bailout is only guaranteed ‘within Mikado City’.

Q.161
Is the trion body’s ‘internal comms’ a communication channel? Or a function of the trion body?
A: It’s part of the trion body’s standard functions. Communication is between people in normal earshot and can be limited to the target. You can also whisper jokes to someone while they’re drinking.
Q.162
What were the self-defence triggers the base engineers used during the Large Scale Invasion arc?
A: A trigger that has no weapons or bailout and only transforms into a trion body. Even someone with low trion ability can use it, and can survive once after being attacked.
Q.163
Are there any cases of different people with the same Side Effect?
A: It is possible, but people with Side Effects are rare in general, so you don’t really meet people with the same ability.
Q.164
Are the trion cubes produced by Shooters before they shoot always at its maximum size according to trion ability? Or can it be adjusted each time?
A: It is always at its maximum size. Trion ability is exposed for the most part.

A: They don’t. Exclusive options, like Kogetsu’s exclusive ‘Senkuu’, are equipped on the same side of the slots as Kogetsu, and only switched ON when in use (the trion consumed is only what the exclusive option used). Dual-wielding Kogetsu + (Senkuu x 2) for a ‘Double Senkuu Kogetsu’ is also possible.

A: It is possible. ‘Pretending with Shield + Gun but actually Scorpion’ is one of the feints that All-rounders equipped with Scorpion (like Arashiyama squad) use a lot.
Q.169
Are the food eaten in trion bodies digested?
A: The rate of digestion is even better than flesh bodies, and almost 100% is reduced into nutrients (to the point that you don’t have to go to the bathroom), but since the satiety centre isn’t very stimulated, there isn’t much sense of fullness, and there is the fear of eating too much and the flesh body gaining more and more weight. Raizou gained weight because of this.
Q.170
Kitora was coughing when she got out of the river in chapter 9, but does trion bodies need to breathe too?
A: The consumption of oxygen in trion bodies is extremely low, and can last without breathing for several hundred times longer than flesh bodies (if it really seems like oxygen is about to run out, the trion body goes into sleep mode, so you won’t die). It seems that Kitora was coughing out the water that had gotten inside the trion body through her mouth.
Q.171
Captain Fuyushima was sea-sick on his way back from the expedition, but do you get sick or out of breath even in trion bodies?

Q.172
How much of a trion body’s structure is based on the human body? Does sweating or crying happen?
A: Cold sweat, goosebumps, etc. most things that occur to the flesh body can be reproduced. There was a time when experiments were done on removing fear or nervousness when transformed into a trion body, but results from missions and rank wars visibly deteriorated, so right now they do their best to reproduce it so it is as similar to the state of the flesh body as possible.
Q.173
Trion bodies are sturdy, but can the feel of it or its temperature be differentiated from flesh bodies’?
A: So that the one transformed doesn’t feel any wrongness, the feel and temperature is reproduced too.
Q.174
How much can the outer appearance of combat bodies be changed? Can height, body type, sex be changed, or even become a complete different person? (multiple)
A: Some fiddling is possible, but if the height and so on is changed too much it becomes difficult to operate the trion body due to the feeling of wrongness with the flesh body. You get used to it after a while, but then when you return to your flesh body you get that feeling of wrongness again, so people don’t really tamper with the outer appearance of combat bodies anymore.
Q.175
How long can you spend in a trion body?
A: If you don’t use trion, and try to stay as still as possible, you can stay in a trion body basically for forever. (You will get hungry so you will need to eat).
Q.176
Does trion or trion organs exist in living beings other than humans?
A: It might, but to use triggers, ‘clearly radiating the will to activate the trigger’ is necessary, so it seems difficult to make a dog or cat use a trigger.

Q.177
Why was Osamu able to escape from Moira’s skewers when he went trigger off in volume 9?
A: Because there was the worry that if someone undid the transformation while they were stuck under debris from buildings or something they would be crushed the moment they returned to their flesh body, so Border’s triggers are constructed so that the flesh body is transmitted to coordinates that don’t interfere with anything in the surroundings.
Q.178
Chapter 1 said that tanks and fighter aircrafts’ attacks didn’t work on trion bodies, but can agents in trion bodies not be damaged too? Or are they not durable enough and will bailout?
A: I think a trion body for combat use will be totally fine against the gun of a tank or a missile.
Q.179
Is there any way to plug trion leakage when trion bodies are damaged?
A: Trion bodies have a function that automatically closes the wound (stops the bleeding), so unless it’s a very big wound the trion leakage will stop in 1 minute even if it is left alone. If it is plugged with hands or something, I think there can be even less leakage.
Q.180
Do the squads wearing uniforms that look very warm in the current midwinter setting change clothes in summer? Tachikawa squad and Chano squad especially look too warm.
A: Trion bodies can be adjusted for the heat and the cold too, so there are no problems with long coats in midsummer, but to the townspeople looking on from the side there is nothing that looks more sweltering, so there are also squads that change clothes. There are also agents who overhaul their uniform regularly, or have multiple uniforms they change into depending on the mood.
Q.181

Q.182
Do Gunners with gun triggers lose the ability to attack if both arms are wounded? Or can they attack with cubes like Shooters?
A: Gunners cannot fight without guns. So targeting the Gunner’s arm is a valid strategy. It is one of the drawbacks to Gunners compared to Shooters.
Q.183
Does Yuuma’s Black Trigger have a name?
A: Because neither Yuuma nor Replica tried to give it a name, it doesn’t have one. They call it ‘dad’s trigger’ or ‘Yuugo’s Black Trigger’.
Q.184
Is Yuuma unable to use the Black Trigger now that Replica isn’t here?
A: He can, but he has to set it himself when using Overlap Seals or Composite Seals, so it takes time.
Q.185
Is there any difference between Yuuma’s ‘Bound’ Seal and Grasshopper’s abilities?
A: The ‘Bound’ Seal has far more power output, but only one can be generated at a time.
Q.186
Please tell us ‘Echo’ Seal’s effect.
A: It emits a faint wave of trion through which you can learn the terrain of the surroundings and any living beings, and the position, distance, and state of trion constructs.
Q.187
Is Replica-sensei’s trion created from Replica-sensei himself? Or is it borrowed somehow from Yuuma or the surroundings?
A: Replica’s trion was supplied from Yuuma’s black trigger. If a supply cord is used, anyone can supply Replica with trion.
Q.188
When Jin wasn’t setting off Fuujin, he fought with something like a Kogetsu, what is Fuujin’s performance like when it isn’t setting off remote slash attacks?
A: A super-efficient blade lighter than Scorpion, and cuts better and is more durable than Kogetsu.
Q.189
When Miwa used Fuujin during the Large Scale Invasion, why was he able to attack ‘somewhere he couldn’t see’?
A: It was a combination technique with Replica determining the position.

Q.192
What are those spikes when ‘Spiraskia’ attacks?
A: ‘Nail-like things’ (there are flat ones too) added to ‘Spiraskia’ as a bonus.
Q.193
It seems that Black Triggers are left by users with superior trion abilities, but how many of the current agents might be able to leave one?
A: Even for superior users luck is involved a little in whether they can leave behind a Black Trigger or not (so there aren’t many people willing to become Black Triggers voluntarily), but it is said that if it’s people with Side Effects creating Black Triggers the success rate rises quite a lot.
Q.194
Why was the uniform Yuugo had set in the past applied to Yuuma?
A: In Border’s database there remained something like an account of Yuugo’s living body; it seems it reacted to some component that made up Yuugo in Yuuma’s Black Trigger.
Q.195
The trion body’s uniform or hairstyle can be set as anything, can a trigger (weapon)’s colour or ornaments be set?
A: If the request is given to an engineer, it can be. A black Kogetsu or something seems like it’d be pretty cool.
Q.196
What is the difference between combat bodies that have headphones (communicators?) and those that don’t?
A: The communication function is one of the trion body’s standard equipment, but because it looks like you’re talking to yourself if you don’t have a communicator, squads that are bothered by that set their trion bodies to have headphones or headsets. The only difference is in the appearance.

Q.208
Arashiyama says「Trion is unlimited within the training room」. What is going on with the Trion within the training room?
A: The「Imaginary Battle Mode」within the training room digitizes Trion function into computer data and then re-materializes it.

Q.214
Does the world on this side have research on the creation of Trion soldiers?

Q.230
How are units formed?
A: One way is for B Ranked or above agents with 4000 points forming a unit, and another way is for B Ranked or above agents that find other people to form a unit after their previous unit disbanded. No matter which way the unit is formed, they all need to follow protocol through handing in documents signed by all unit agents, and after their documents are accepted and filed their units will become official. agents leaving units or units increasing agents go through the same procedures.
Q.231
Are there two person units that are composed of「captain + operator」, or「captain (also operator) + agent」?
A: Yes. The B ranked Urushima Unit is this type of a unit.
Q.232
Why are there more four person units that include the operator than five person units?
A: If the number of combatants is increased from three to four, the operator's burden will increase, which causes issues such as the operator not being able to provide enough information support for everybody, and this might cause the unit to lose agents during combat. Winning a battle with four combatants is a testament to the skills of the operator.
Q.233
What are the specifics of an operator's job? [Many]
A: Providing unit agents in combat real time data, with these data showing up within their sight. Data such as information on the position of the enemy that is marked on the radar, how to regroup with unit agents that are split up, retreat routes, warnings for ambushes, warnings for enemy sniper positioning, possible routes the enemy might take, tactical maps etc. The more skilled the operator is the more accurate the data the operator will provide, and easier the data will be for the unit agents to digest and use.
Q.234
Are operators working in their true bodies or in Trion bodies?
A: In their Trion bodies, however operators normally have lower Trion, so they don't have standard weapons equipped or Bail Out.
I dont like using 4chan or watching animes, BUT thanks some of you for posting these sick pics! I like visuals, so I download images instead of watching.
Q.235
If one was to enlist into Border as an operator from the very beginning, what sort of training does one receive when formally inducted into a unit?
A: New operators are first required to work at the HQ Overall Business Processing Department at a position called「Central Operator」. They learn the basics and how to operate the machinery, and after they are experienced with these procedures if they want to join a unit they can apply for a transfer, getting picked up by newly formed units or filling in for units that have an open operator position due to the previous operator leaving. Through this way they can be properly inducted into the Border units as an operator.
Q.236
Can B Ranked agents that are not in a unit be promoted to A Rank on their own?
A: Being promoted to A Rank solo is pretty much impossible. Needs to have at least an operator, forming a two person unit and winning in the Rank Battles. If the unit is disbanded once promoted to A Rank, the unit agents are still A Rank agents, however they cannot join unit Rank Battles. Jin is currently at this particular junction right now.
Q.237
The early Border agents didn't have cooperative training and Rank Battles, were they automatically listed as official agents or A Ranked agents? Or did they have some other type of examination?
A: The concept of A Ranking units happened after the HQ was completed and the number of agents increased to a certain amount, and before that there were no A or B rankings. When the total number of agents had increased to the hundreds the Rank Battles were created, and there were also promotional exams, so becoming an A Ranked agent back then was way more difficult than in the present day.
Q.238
If A Ranked units recruit B Ranked agents, is the unit demoted to B Rank? Or can it maintain its A Rank status?
A: If the unit recruited only one person in a season then it can still keep its A Rank status. However with the new agent still getting used to the unit, the opponents will definitely focus more upon the unit with the new agent, so from the results of the Rank Battles the unit might still be demoted. If the unit recruits two or three new agents the unit's ranking might be adjusted based on the ranks of the new agents.
Q.239
If an A Ranked agent wants to split from the unit he or she belongs to and form a new unit, does this new unit start from B Rank? Can this be done at all?
A: This can be done. The new unit's rank is based upon「the rank of its lowest ranking agent」. If the new unit's agents are all A Rank then they will start at A Rank (their initial ranking will be decided by the rank of its lowest ranking A Ranked agent), and if the new unit has one B Ranked agent then they must start from B Rank (initial ranking also decided by the rank of the lowest ranking agent).

Q.240
From which numerical values are the position rankings and personal overall rankings decided from? Is it according to each agent's personal points? Or is it from the sum of the points the agent has for all the triggers the position has.
A: It is decided from「each agent's personal points」. Personal overall rankings is decided from who has the highest points in the triggers the agent has equipped regardless of position. An example of the position rankings would be Ninomiya having the highest points for Asteroid of all the agents of the Shooter position, therefore he is the No. 1 Shooter. An example of how the personal overall rankings are decided would be Tachikawa, who has the most points for Kogetsu out of all the points of the triggers the agents have equipped regardless of position, so he is No. 1 for personal overall rankings. If going by the total number of points for the Triggers an agent has equipped, Reiji would probably be No. 1.

Q.241
When Attacker and Shooter points have accumulated to 4000 points the agent is promoted to B Rank, would the agent be demoted to C Rank if during Rank Battles their points are lowered to below 4000?
A: Even though the agent's combined points getting lowered to below 4000 would not result in a demotion, if one of the equipped Trigger's points is lower than 1500 the agent is demoted and has to leave the unit he or she belongs in. However nobody has been demoted to C Rank because of this yet.
Q.242
If one starts using a new Trigger once promoted to B Rank, what is the initial points accumulated?
A: Normally one starts with 3000 points. If one is already experienced with a particular Trigger (8000 points), then the initial points starts with 4000 points.

Q.245
Are there any other ways for official agents to gain points for their personal points other than participating in Rank Battles and points awarded for feats? Also, are the points awarded for feats distributed to the unit agents when they are given to units?

The points and award money are for the unit agents themselves, however when they are awarded their own personal points and money they can also request to receive the points and money again for their unit as well.
Q.246

Why didn't the B Rank upper teams Ninomiya Unit and Kageura Unit participate in the large scale invasion fight? Was it their rest day or were they outside of Mikado City?
A: This wasn't mentioned in the main series, so I shall answer this for everybody here:「General Manager Shinoda ordered units B Ranked or below that if they are unable to gather all of their unit agents they are forbidden to join the fight」. This was due to the fear of unit agents acting alone running the risk of being captured by Rabbits. There are also exceptions of course, such as Captain Kako, who went outside for a spin since it was her rest day, and returned too late.

A: Put into savings account, give to parents, went to eat really expensive food with their unit, clothes, repaying their debts, changing cellphone, donation, driver's license, switching to a new air conditioner, games, going to spa with family, beginning an independent life, bicycle, forgotten in a desk drawer, and more.
Q.273
In chapter 62 when Reiji's stomach was sliced by Organon why did the sliced innards look different than Tsutsumi san's sliced innards shown in chapter 89? This puzzle was too noticeable so I've decided to ask it here.
A: They are pretty much supposed to be the same. During rank battles the Trion smoke is white, and in chapter 89 Tsutsumi's innards were surrounded by smoke so it looks to be white.
>>281189634>Are the food eaten in trion bodies digested?>A: The rate of digestion is even better than flesh bodies, and almost 100% is reduced into nutrients (to the point that you don’t have to go to the bathroom), but since the satiety centre isn’t very stimulated, there isn’t much sense of fullness, and there is the fear of eating too much and the flesh body gaining more and more weight. Raizou gained weight because of this.and this is how we know Mai is a giga fat fuck under that cat suit

Q.274
Please tell us how sensei draws the manga. [Many]
A: Nothing really different about drawing compared to other artists, so I'll talk about how the panels are divided OK?
When creating a weekly serialization, I need to first write down how the story I want to draw unfolds, then shorten it to something that can be contained within 19 pages. When writing out ideas, the thing that bothers me most is wasting precious time deleting scenes that take up too much space. When starting from the beginning and the end and moving my way towards the middle, I spend a lot of time on how to bridge these connections as well. In the process of deleting I sometimes make a lot of changes as well, so most of the time I use a word processor to type out the story first (since drawing everything out and then fixing things will be too tedious). Once making sure of the contents of each page of the 19 pages, then I start dividing the panels and organizing them, something like that.
When I do one shots, I first mark down the story that I want to draw (what I want to do within the oneshot), and from there I create the characters, and try to decide the setting and characterizations that will be the smoothest for the readers. It is during this stage that I delete a lot of characters that I have trouble animating, or characters that won't appear a lot in the story. If I run into a writer's block with the story, I would make changes to the characters and the setting. I won't make drastic changes to the main character however, since if I do the previous impression I had created for this character will still haunt me, unlike with creating a new character. After than, I let the characters interact, and I string together scenes from the story that seem interesting to me, and to not allow the story to stray too far with what I want it to be, I reorganize everything again. The process is pretty much done after I go over everything once again.
>>281190009[continued]
In conclusion, I write out what I want to draw given the number of pages I am given, and draw what I wrote after.
The one shot Talented Elite Jin within this book is basically created through the process I described. I wanted to draw, through「Jin」, the「awesomeness of a talented elite」. From my personal experience, the harder the panels are differentiated, the worse the reader's reactions to it are, and the more smooth the transitions between panels are, the better the reader's reactions to it. Probably something like if I'm able to draw the story smoothly, then it will be read smoothly as well.
Q.275
When creating characters, do you start with their appearance and personality first, or do you start with their character profiles first? [Many]
A: About the characters within the serialization, the first thing I make sure of is the「name」. If I decide upon a name that's realistic and fitting for the character, the character's overall image will also automatically fill itself in, and will start to interact with the other characters in my mind, and that's like already half of what I want to accomplish. If it's in a oneshot, I first think about「the quality that can be found on this character」, and once deciding that, I think of a fitting name for the character. Everything after is the same as what I do for characters for a serialization.
Q.276
What names does sensei like best within the characters of WT? [Many]
A: Yuma Kuga, Replica, Jin Yuichi, Usami Shiori, Kitora Ai, Miwa Shoji, Mikami Kaho, Utagawa Ryo, Tachikawa Kei, Izumi Kohei, Toma Isami, Satori Ken, Tokieda Mitsuru, Arafune Tetsuji, Inukai Sumiharu, Nasu Rei, Kon Yuka, Chano Makoto, Terashima Raizo, Ranbanein, Enedora, Morumoddo (Mole Mod), Rabbit. I like those.
Q.277
What do you do if you are stuck on a panel and have a writer's block that prevents you from continuing with the story smoothly? [Many]
A: Change something about the characters and try different things. If that doesn't work I write out the problem I'm facing with the thing I'm stuck on, and go do something else. As long as I list out the problems, my brain will automatically solve the problems through gathering information, so when doing something like having a conversation or showering I can think of a solution really easily.
Q.278
Is WT digitally drawn or hand drawn?
A: The characters and the rough draft are all hand drawn, while tracing and refining are done digitally. The background is hand drawn all the way up till tracing, then it is refined digitally.
Q.279
Why is weight not mentioned in the character profiles? [Many]
A: Because weight fluctuates unlike height, and it can change very quickly in a day.
Q.280
How are the characters on the covers of the tankobon decided?
A: They are decided from the character that first appears in that volume, the character that is the most active in that volume, and the character that I wanted to draw at that time for the volume.
Q.281
How were the 12 constellations you've created come into being, and why were they created?
A: Something I thought about for fun when I was 20, I liked them so I used them. Back then I had also created the otter constellation and the tiger constellation, so a grand total of 14 constellations.
>>281189998Is she fatter than Raizo though?
Q.282
How much does Ashihara sensei sleep on average every day? Do you sleep on a bed or on the floor with bed covers?
A: Before, I slept only 3 to 4 hours a day, and before handing my manuscript in I pull all nighters, only sleeping for 8 hours after handing the manuscript in, that sort of cycle. After my neck started having problems my cycle turned into sleeping 6 hours a day. Also might still pull all nighters before handing in my manuscript according to the situation. I sleep on the floor with bed covers.
Q.283
When sensei is creating characters, what things do you pay special attention to or are wary of? [Many]
A: Normally , I watch out for not straying too far from「the pattern of manga characters」(the antagonist should be like this, the opponent should be like that, things like those). When I draw, I would think that it would be great if I can emulate the actions of what a person would do in real life from the actions and voices of my characters.
Q.284
The「team battles」that WT displays is rarely seen in battle shonen on WSJ, why did you want to draw team battles, and is there something that you're focused upon?
A: Team battles are better at creating drama than 1v1 scenarios. Due to them having a lot of factors, they don't need to go through a lot of effort to change the direction of the story. However drawing this is really exhausting... If it was a 1v1, the protagonist only needs to rely on his own hard work, and there are less factors within that can assure a victory or defeat, so wanting to draw an interesting and easy to understand battle from this would be quite difficult. (That's why I think TV shows and works that seek to inspire exhilaration in their audience use more team battles.)
Q.285
How is a story like WT that is full of little foreshadowings created? [Many]
A: They aren't really foreshadowings in my opinion... I only drew little hints about things that are going to happen a little bit slightly ahead, and compared to foreshadowing, they are more like foundations for what's to come. It's really important to have a certain understanding about the direction of the story isn't it?
Q.286
How do you plan out how the battle is going to go down in each setting, and how did you come up with the characters' special moves?
A: As long as the stage is set and the characters are all constructed, the characters basically automatically do my thinking for me. All I have to do is set up the fight. That is why the situation before the battle and character settings are the most important.
Q.287
What are some things that are worthy of special attention or getting a reference when drawing battle or tactical related content? [Many]
A: When there are weak characters involved my work becomes easier, something like that. This is because strong and calm characters can't surprise the readers with special tactics, which dulls the development of the story. Osamu being weak is great. Another thing I watch out for is being too professional. Even though I read a lot of books about tactics, I can't use ones that can't be represented in manga form. If they are too professional, the readers will have a hard time understanding it, which would destroy the suspension of disbelief.
Q.288
Not just limited to WT, what does Ashihara sensei think is the most important aspect about creating and drawing manga?
A: I think the most important thing is still「interesting」(drawing with the thought of presenting this interesting factor to the audience), but personally my focus is「inspiring the reader's imagination」.
>>281189674>When Jin wasn’t setting off Fuujin, he fought with something like a Kogetsu, what is Fuujin’s performance like when it isn’t setting off remote slash attacks?>A: A super-efficient blade lighter than Scorpion, and cuts better and is more durable than Kogetsu.would you look at that, our slut-chan is actually a decent sword

Q.289
Is there a point in how the characters refer to themselves in first person(おれ/オレ/俺)? [Many]
(Note: おれ,オレ, and 俺 all have the same meaning except written in hiragana, katakana, and kanji.)
A: おれ gives a more endearing impression to people, while オレ has a more young person, teenager impression, and 俺 gives a more adult impression. This separation in text can only be found in manga, since anime won't have something like this, which is why I couldn't help but use it. The distinction between different art styles for the speech bubbles stems from this reasoning as well.
Q.290
Which chapters does sensei like the most and spent the most time on?
A: There are two chapters, chapter 79 and chapter 85. Chapter 79 was the climax of the large scale invasion, and I had already planned out what I was going to draw, however in the end the story took off in a complete different direction from what I had planned, but it still progressed naturally, for which I am grateful for. Chapter 85 was during the time when I couldn't move my body at all due to my neck problems, and I had designed that chapter to be the last chapter of this series, so it stirs up some deep emotions within me when I go back to read it.
Q.291
Which character quotes from the manga does sensei enjoy? [Many]
A: I like Usami's「Let's make the glasses wearing clan great again!」(chapter 19) Suwa's「Bring it on Mr. Black Trigger」(chapter 65) Izumi's「Mr. Discovery Channel」(chapter 72) Miwa's「Go to hell」(chapter 79) Osano's「I don't know an~yy of them 」(chapter 87) Hokari's「Has it arrived? The new wave of the sniper world」(chapter 87). I really like it when characters say their words in their own manner of speaking and is also close to their personality.
Q.292
What Triggers does sensei want to try out?
A: Vorvoros (Mud King), Viper, Lead Bullet, Escudo. But what I really want to do is go do crazy stuff in a Trion body first.

Which female character does sensei like best?
A: Hm, probably still Kitora. Even though she's exceptional she's still terrible in some places a lot of times, or I should say that she still has a lot of places that she's immature about, which is a good point for her characterization. The close second place is Usami.

A: I've had both cats and dogs as pets at my old home, but personally I'm a staunch cat fan.
Q.299
When sensei started drawing WT, what science fiction works did you read for inspiration? Did you always like science fiction?
A: I only read science fiction novels that I've always liked in the past as reference, so I didn't read a lot. I think the science fiction genre type works are「works that progresses the plot through technology, systems, and thoughts that cannot be found in reality」 , such as to me Death Note is science fiction. However the science fiction that I want to write is closer to the science fiction Fujio F. Fujiko-sensei has demonstrated in his works, and that's because I really like Doraemon.

A: There are a lot of books like that, and one of them is Li Ling of The Moon Over the Mountain published by Shinchobunko. It was given to me by a friend during our high school graduation, and I felt that I learned a lot about the basics of character building from the main character Gongzi Lu within The Disciple, one of the stories inside the book. ‘Riryou’ is interesting too.
(Note: The Moon Over the Mountain is a series of stories by Nakajima Atsushi, who focused upon classical Chinese in his works)
Q.301
What movies does sensei enjoy? [Many]
A: There are a lot as well so it's hard to answer. I'll choose some that are more uncommon, such as Charlie Chaplin's The Kid. I was inspired by how the character relationships were described. Also enjoy Back to the Future and How to Train Your Dragon for the same reason.
Q.302

What sort of a person is your manager Koma san, who you were familiar with already when you were creating the oneshot, like? What sort of jobs does he do? [Many]
A: He does everything Ashihara doesn't do. From checking over the story, adding detail to characters, adding sound effects according to Ashihara's pointers, tracing the speech bubbles, handing in the manuscript, thinking up ideas for tankoubon extras and designing how the panels should be organized, checking over the color pages and other work related to creating, to calculating how much pay the employees should receive, meeting with the accountant, buying lunch, buying consumables, simple cleaning of the work space, talking to the editors, recording early morning TV shows. He's a really capable manager. Favorite food is dumplings, favorite meat is cow diaphragm (hanger steak), favorite paper is 10 thousand yen notes, favorite Nanto Sei Ken (Six Holy Fists of South Dipper) is Ray of the Nanto Suicho Ken (South Dipper Waterbird Fist). Character flaw is that he's over conflicted with the breast size of female characters.
>A Conclusion from Sensei
Almost a year has passed since we first started collecting questions, very sorry it took this long to answer a lot of them. The Q&A project has received over 3000 questions, and I picked as much as I can from them to answer them, which turned into the 303 Q&A. Due to the limits of the nature of this project, there are some questions that are hard to answer due to them concerning how the story will develop in the future and some questions that will give a super long answer, so I didn't answer those. Sorry. If this project can aid the happy imaginations within the readers minds then I will be most glad. Thank you everybody for sending in the post cards.

About the Series
Q1:
How did you conceptualize the story?
A:
Before coming up with the actual story, I first created the characters and the world. I placed the characters in various positions and roles to see what would be interesting, adding or subtracting trade-offs. So I came up with the characters first, then the story.
Q2:
Why did you want to draw science fiction?
A:
Compared to「wanting to draw SF」, it was more like「the end result turned into SF」. After my previous series Super Dog Rilenthal ended, I wanted to make a Shonen Jump manga with competition in games and matches as the focus. I originally was going to make a sports manga, but when I was talking to my editor he said「No, you can do more of what you feel like doing. Innovating new things is much more interesting isn't it?」I replied:「Then, let me think about it and try that.」Under another different circumstance, I came up with the concept for a series that had alien technology introduced to Earth, and everyone is able to use it. In Jump, when characters have special powers they are usually「limited to only that person」. I figured it would be interesting if anyone could use the same powers on an equal basis. And I thought it would allow me to include some of the ideas I had for my sports series. And that‘s how it turned into a SF series.
>>281189607Teleport's movement range is restricted to line of sight. Probably a trion hog too. They mentioned if Yuba thinks ambushes work better for the match he would bagworm and fire vipers instead.
Q3:
You must have some SF influences! What sort of movies, TV or novels have you really enjoyed in the past?
A:
Normally I wouldn't especially go read SF concentrated works...however during my rest period after my previous serialization ended I read a lot of books like Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers...and also Tunnel in the Sky, which I first read in middle school. It really stuck with me. The concept「a transportation device that leads to another world 」 really influenced me.
Among Japanese works one of my favorites since I was young is Doraemon. I was fascinated by the idea of bringing fantastical technology into the real world and using it in various ways.
Q4:
World Trigger is your second series in Weekly Shonen Jump after Kashikoi Ken Rilienthal (Super Dog Rilenthal). How are your two series similar and different?
A:
They are similar in terms of 「the story revolving around the characters」. The characters exist first, they do some things together, and then an incident happens, thus the story begins...that part is similar.
The difference is that winning and losing doesn't matter in Rilienthal. Something like 「If someone loses, someone else can come to the rescue」. They can work together and solve the problem. In World Trigger, as I said earlier, I wanted it to be a story about winning and losing. So even the weak characters have to fight with their own powers.
That‘s what the biggest difference between them is. For the characters, I think World Trigger is a very grim and harsh story.
>>281190154>I wanted to make a Shonen Jump manga with competition in games and matches as the focusSo that's why the majority of the manga is sports
>>281189744>The upper ranking agents all seem to be workaholics, do they take scheduled breaks? If they do, do they live within the HQ?>A: Normally they have two days for rest in a week, but there are a lot of agents that come back to work during their off days. The most hard working are Kinuta san and Commander Kido, and the one that takes the most breaks is Branch Chief Rindo.based Rindo
Q5:
How has World Trigger changed from its inception? Do you see new possibilities for the series that you didn't when you started?
A:
The biggest change from the original concept is that Yuma‘s and Osamu’s positions switched. Their personalities were set really early on. Yuma is talented but doesn't think about things too deeply, and would just jumps right in without a second thought. Osamu, on the other hand, wants to do the right thing but is lacking the strength to accomplish it...he's that kind of a person.
Originally Yuma was the Border agent and Osamu was a normal child who hasn't joined Border yet. The story was based around them meeting and Osamu joining Border...that sort of a story. However...since my concept was that they were opposites, so I decided to go all the way and make Yuma a Neighbor, who represents the biggest antagonist of the story. That was the biggest change.
Because of that the direction of the story was completely different. Osamu became a low-level Border agent who has to struggle with a lot. (laughs)
Q6:
Can you describe the relationship between Osamu and Yuma?
A:
My idea from the start was that they would team up. l figured it would be fun to see characters who are complete opposites of each other working together, so I made them opposites of each other.
One of the biggest differences between them is that Osamu holds a lot inside. For example, he thinks that it’s a good thing to not react when he's getting bullied. Yuma comes from a completely different background, and that if somebody has wronged him he will definitely fight back. He feels that getting hurt and not striking back with the equal amount is something that will cause him to lose his dignity, which is something his life has taught him...That's the greatest difference between the two characters.
l consciously put a lot of effort into expressing that when drawing chapters 1~3.
>>281189744>When do new Border recruits choose their position and weapons? Which has priority; personal preference or adaptability?>A: From the enlisting examination Border will judge upon the adaptability and decide upon the used weapon and position. Even though at first the new recruits are required to use the Border chosen Trigger, the agent is allowed to change Trigger and position when they want to later on.So this is how Osamu got raygust
>>281190068Ashihara...for such a brilliant author he sure does seem like...an airhead, to put it nicely.
Q7:
If you were in Border, what position would you be? Attacker, Gunner, Sniper, Operator, All-Rounder...
A:
Good question...gunner seems like it would be a lot of fun. But l‘m not very athletic (laughs), so l‘d probably have to be an Operator. (laughs)
Oh, even though it hasn't appeared much in the series yet, but there‘s a department of engineers. They are in charge of creating and modifying Triggers. I think it would be very interesting being there.
Q8:
Which character is Ashihara sensei most like?
A:
The character I'm most like...Who would it be...? This is hard...I don't really put much of myself into my characters. But who would I be? When I was a little kid l feel like I was similar to Osamu. (laughs)
But what about now...there's a kid in Miwa Squad with glasses named Kodera. He hasn‘t done much yet, but he's really good at analyzing the battlefield and using it to help him and his team fight. l like analyzing things myself, so that makes me fond of Kodera. I expect to let him shine sometime in the future.
Q9:
World Trigger's story is pretty serious in itself, however the extras in the tankobons are very funny. You're good at comedic things, but you can't put them inside World Trigger, so you can only put them in the extras, is that it?
A:
I've always liked 「the things inside the story are completely different in the extas」. I originally wanted to put comedic things into the WT story, but this is a story with a fairly serious overall tone, so what do I do...however, if it's too serious it can be tiring to read, right? (laughs)
Q10:
There are so many characters in the series now. Is that something you planned? ls it an influence from originally planning to do a sports manga?
A:
When I create characters the first thing I think about is their names. Once I decide on a name, I can start feeling something like「oh, he's probably this sort of a person」.
So I first created about a hundred of characters. In World Trigger's case, I first decide upon what kind of an organization Border will be, and use the different units within as a template for deciding characters. And from these units, l‘d decide what the captain's personality will be like and then think about what kind of agents would be under them...I thought about a lot of things like this. Then, if I find a team interesting then I would let them appear first in the manga. There are indeed a lot of characters, and there are probably a lot that haven't made an appearance yet. (laughs)
>Work and Private Life
Q11:
What's your favorite part about serializing on a weekly magazine?
A:
The best part is receiving responses from readers, which makes me really happy. Shonen Jump has a reader survey system, and it makes me really happy when the series' popularity goes up.
It makes me especially happy when something I thought「this would be really interesting」was reflected positively upon the surveys.
And then there is receiving mails from fans, which allows me to look at the series through the eyes of the readers. I really like reading these thoughts and impressions from fans.
Q12:
In the comments section, you often get excited when the new volumes come out. Do you ever go to the bookstore to see them all lined up?
A:
I haven‘t really gone to check them out myself, but my staff does. Then they will email me to say「Yep, here they are---」. That's enough to satisfy me (laughs).
>>281189772>Do defense missions include patrolling the forbidden zones? Or else, do they standby in the waiting rooms, and wait for Neighbors to show up nearby?>A: Basically each of the 5 branches excluding Tamakoma Branch is a stronghold, and units patrol the dividing line that surrounds the forbidden zone. At times when Gates opening and closing are the most active, supporting units will be stationed at the HQ on standby.lets not pretend that Tamakoma branch isn't some trion gundam larping as a normal building.
Q13:
There's an official Japanese World Trigger Twitter account. Was that your idea or the editorial department's idea?
A:
The editorial department said they「wanted to do it」so I agreed to it.
I was getting a ton of questions from fans through Twitter, so it was my idea to have a Question Corner-like segment. It's a lot of fun.
Q14:
When you have time, what do you do for fun?
A:
I don't have any free time to do things that are related to my hobbies right now since serializing on a weekly magazine.
However, thinking about manga related things was something I've always done for fun....In between serializations I watched movies and read books, played games, but in the end that was all to help me with my manga-making. So manga is both my job and hobby. (laughs)
I do like to play video games, including a lot of American games that are localized and released here, like Skyrim. I really enjoy how there‘s a whole world with characters inhabiting it. It matches my interests.
Another great feature is how games like SKyrim have mods. Fans are able to add new things into the game. I was really struck by this. Tons of new elements like weapons, characters and buildings can be created by the fans. That's so much fun. I wish you could do that in Japanese games.
The idea of everyone working together to change stuff is a little similar to the Triggers in World Trigger. It‘s an alien technology, but the people of Earth can change it to suit their needs. And the Neighbor world has many different countries, each of them created and maintained by their own people.
I really like the idea of things created by hand by various people. I think that influences me a lot.

Q15:
What's your favorite series in Jump right now (besides World Trigger)? Do you have time to read them?
A:
I don't have much time to read, so I don‘t read everything. When I was a reader before I was only reading things for fun, but as an author you end up looking at manga differently. You can't help but analyze it, and trying to simply read for pleasure like before is extremely difficult...However, circumstances like「this chapter I like」do still happen quite often. Lately I've seen some chapters from Haikyu and Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan that featured stuff that I wanted to do in my manga. (laughs)
Haikyu is a sports manga, and sports have a mysterious aspect to them, which is both sides sharing in the same skills, and can teach each other, which is different than in a normal war. So l‘ve been learning a lot about sports manga from Haikyu because I want to describe this type of relationship as well. (laughs)
And in Saiki Kusuo, the main character doesn't think of psychic powers as being a positive thing. In my manga, the characters have powers called Side Effects. These are very useful, but in some ways they might cause problems and make your life difficult. This is what Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan is trying to express and I enjoy reading it and going「indeed」.

Q16:
What life experience would you say best prepared you for your job as a Weekly Shonen Jump artist?
A:
After I graduating high school I worked at the reception desk of a business hotel. and that‘s helped me a lot. Before that I didn‘t really know how to communicate with people beyond friends.
But getting a job and having to deal with customers and my boss was a big change. It helps me now when I have to talk to my editor. That maturity is really important in this kind of work.
>>281190221Well, Tamakoma-1 still does defense missions with Suzunari-1
Q17:
Which character do you enjoying drawing most and which do you enjoy drawing the least? Please tell me any reasons you have as well?
A: The most fun to draw is Kitora, and then Usami from the Tamakoma Branch. Among the male characters my favorite one to draw is Yoneya. Kitora has two sides to her. She's really strict, but in some ways she's pretty ditzy. I like this aspect about her character, so it’s fun drawing her.
As for Usami and Yoneya, those two just seem to be enjoying life. It affects me when I‘m drawing them. They give off an atmosphere, something like「this guy is living his live so freely」and「they're living their lives however they want」. I enjoy characters that show an enjoyment of life, so I'm happy drawing them.
In terms of difficulty...l‘d say Jin. Jin's hard to draw, he’s got weird hair (laughs) and it‘s hard to show his inner thoughts. He seems happy and open on the outside, but there‘s also a certain amount of darkness inside him. He has the ability to see the future, so I think he's seen a lot of stuff.
These parts sometimes show up on his face. I often draw him thinking「this guy, what is he thinking」(laughs). I feel that Jin is a deeper character than even I know.
>>281187321>ibis>no lightningI assumed the 14 skill was her taking inpossibly quick and accurate shots with lightning. Was she shooting kogetsus out of people's hands with an ibis?
Q18:
Is there a special meaning to why Replica tells Yuma that only he can decide to use the Black Trigger?
A:
That‘s kind of like the overall theme of the series.
That 「if something happens, the person that makes to final decision to act must be yourself」. Not just for Yuma, but for Osamu and all the characters, there will be 「forks in the road」and they will need to decide which to take.
Something like going down this path is a good thing for Border, or taking the other path is against Border's rules.
But when you really want to do something like that, you must be the one that makes the choice. So I'm trying to express that theme through Replica.
When other characters face these similar forks in the road, there might be similar people to Replica that will tell them something like this.
>Leaving a Message
Q19:
What would you like to say to your English-speaking fans in America and around the world?
A:
l never imagined that overseas fans would even be reading my manga when I started, but I'm so happy that they are. I'm going to work really hard so that everyone can keep enjoying the series. Please continue reading my work (laughs). Thank you!
Reading the Interview from Two Years Ago
That was really the interview from the one year anniversary of this series.
I read it again for myself, and not much has changed since then.
When accepting this interview, the person translating World Trigger asked for a colored drawing, and even though two years have passed I still haven't began drawing that...
Drawing a colored page is really simple, and only requires one or two hours...
If I have the time I will definitely draw it.
I'm really sorry. Really.
Really sorry for delaying that for this long.
>>281189833>Why are there more four person units that include the operator than five person units?>A: If the number of combatants is increased from three to four, the operator's burden will increase, which causes issues such as the operator not being able to provide enough information support for everybody, and this might cause the unit to lose agents during combat. Winning a battle with four combatants is a testament to the skills of the operator.so only good operators can support 4 person teams
>Afterword
Thank you for reading BORDER BRIEFING FILE. The truth is I had planned to release this a little earlier,
but a lot happened and it was delayed. I’m very sorry.
I liked reading databooks of series like Doraemon when I was young, and preparing the data brought
it all back for me. The truth is I wanted to draw more schematic types (like schematics for the inside
of Border’s base, or schematics for Tamakoma branch, or the expedition vessel), but due to the issue
of time and physical ability, this time the focus was on numerical and textual data. The data
prepared by Ashihara this time was the Character Ability Parameters (trans: the radar charts),
Equipped Trigger Catalogue, Family Makeup Catalogue, Q&A, and the 8 graphs for the Data Fans
Want to Know Ranking. If given the chance, I would like to publish schematic types in one of the
manga volumes or the next databook.
In the Character Ability Parameters, besides the current 8 there were also ‘Experience’, ‘Room for
Growth’, and ‘Popularity’ on there originally, but they looked like they’d make things complicated
and were removed. In the end, the setting was that these are reference data based on Border’s
training, rank wars, and actual combat, so those numbers are not absolute. For instance, I think
Chika’s trion ability is a much higher number in reality. Also, the perception of ability between
characters is somewhat different from the data as well I think (like how Izumi assesses Yuiga to be
above Osamu).
I wrote this in the Q&A section as well, but I made this book in the hopes that it would help aid the
readers’ happy fantasising, so I would be glad if everyone reading this interprets it in whatever way
makes it fun.
I am very grateful that you choose to pick up such a thick book and even reading all the way to here.
~Ashihara Daisuke
>>281189691>A black Kogetsu or something seems like it’d be pretty cool.Heh
>>281190279>Was she shooting kogetsus out of people's hands with an ibis?Kinda feels like a plot-hole to me, because even a disarming shot with an Ibis would blow their fucking hands off if not more. Was she just barely grazing peoples weapons with her Ibis shots or some shit?
>>281190265Konami too actually. She started the boob expansion trend, Katori only picked it up from her.
>>281190160Yuba doesn't seem like a high iq type usually associated with Viper trickshotting. His viper curving is probably basic. It's just that broken optional tools like chameleon are given a distinct weakness to not make it get abused, teleporter's weakness being line of sight restrictions feels too easy to get around
>>281190346Konami is allowed to because she is the MEGA SEXO in both bodies. K*tor* probably did it because of boob envy seeing how so many operators have massive milkers...maybe Konami did it for this reason too, because of Usami.
Rokuta will drag Kodera's team down in phase 2
I can see it already
>>281189326>Toma>>281189744>In conclusion Kinuta san is really good at his job.Kinuta doesn't get enough credit
>>281173528 (OP)>Final AfterpartyAre we finished?
>>281190459Yes anon, it's over :(
>>281190376Konami tried to make her boobs bigger by sucking lollipops and she bought enough of them that Osano still has a stockpile. Konami is extremely aware and nervous of her underwhelming cleavage. Katori didn't care about when she was in Suwa's 7 so it makes sense she did it to look better on the screen since she likes being popular.
Fuck it's already over? I only got to volume 5
>>281187321>Collaborator?>?oh no
Oh no no no
Ninobros don't look
>>281190298>l never imagined that overseas fans would even be reading my manga when I started, but I'm so happy that they are. I'm going to work really hard so that everyone can keep enjoying the series. Please continue reading my work (laughs). Thank you!No Ashihara, please prioritize your health first...
>>281190524manga ins't over, the dump is. now we pray for Ashihara and patiently wait for the next chapter.
>>281190518Huh, thanks for the info. Konami's retardation is so adorable.
>>281190536Ashihara only sleep 6 hours a day on the floor
Someone needs to tell him to buy a better bed
>>281190317Thank you for the dump anon. BFF was almost dumped like 3 times but no one committed.
>>281189851>If one was to enlist into Border as an operator from the very beginning, what sort of training does one receive when formally inducted into a unit?>A: New operators are first required to work at the HQ Overall Business Processing Department at a position called「Central Operator」. They learn the basics and how to operate the machinery, and after they are experienced with these procedures if they want to join a unit they can apply for a transfer, getting picked up by newly formed units or filling in for units that have an open operator position due to the previous operator leaving. Through this way they can be properly inducted into the Border units as an operator.Operators have it tough, they actually have to work
>>281190317Thanks, a neat read.
>>281190660>Operators have it tough, they actually have to workConsidering their job is arguably one of the most important (they are your eye in the sky afterall), it makes sense they'd want to properly vet potential operators. Unlike shitter agents who just rot in C-rank for eternity.
>>281190700yeah, one shitter isn't going to cripple the whole squad but a bad operator is an instant death sentence.
>What are the specifics of an operator's job? [Many]>A: Providing unit agents in combat real time data, with these data showing up within their sight. Data such as information on the position of the enemy that is marked on the radar, how to regroup with unit agents that are split up, retreat routes, warnings for ambushes, warnings for enemy sniper positioning, possible routes the enemy might take, tactical maps etc. The more skilled the operator is the more accurate the data the operator will provide, and easier the data will be for the unit agents to digest and use.Which is why Kodera is fucked.
>>281190700>shitter agents who just rot in C-rank for eternity.Wakamura will change that
>>281189851I'd been wondering this about operators. So they do pretty much start as secretaries.
>>281190573I wonder if he would accept a proper wooden bed as a gift, shipping would be pretty pricey though. Also don't 11s always sleep on the floor in those tiny rooms? he might not have enough space for a decent bed.
>>281189691>side effects raise BT creation rateSacrifice Shiki right now.
>>281188275Hanzaki has managed to avoid one of Yuma's attacks.. as a sniper.
>>281190324I think if you hit further up the blade on a kogetsu it might just yank it out of their hand. But that's the only one I could see it working for. Yuba shot Inukai's gun and it blew off his hand and a good chunk of his forearm.
>>281190836Shiki's side effect is too good for that. Now that she knows what it is there is no doubt in my mind she is going to be using it to TREMENDOUS effect in the phase 2 battle. She'll probably even make it on the away mission team if she can somehow overcome her crippling autism, which is what this is building up to I think.
>>281190317>I think Chika’s trion ability is a much higher number in realityKiriyama really did her dirty in the game.
>>281190324Defense missions. Ibis for trion soldiers, Egret for humans. She is a fucking witcher.
>>281190903Don't worry, Chika WILL show him in the combat phase
>>281188576skill and range is a little too low
>>281190908>She is a fucking witcher.Cool analogy but a Witcher wouldn't be puking their guts up after (not even) injuring someone.
You make a good point though, I missed that she also had Egret (the superior sniping trigger).
>>281189922>Are there any other ways for official agents to gain points for their personal points other than participating in Rank Battles and points awarded for feats? Also, are the points awarded for feats distributed to the unit agents when they are given to units?>A: Other than Rank Battles and points awarded for feats, joining defense missions and activities planned by Border (1v1 tournaments) will also give out personal points. The points and award money are for the unit agents themselves, however when they are awarded their own personal points and money they can also request to receive the points and money again for their unit as wellthe real tournament arc
>>2811909431v1 tournaments sound fucking boring
I'm glad Ashihara never did that
>>281189939>How are the agents that are responsible for introducing and commentating decided?>A: Sakurako goes and finds operators or agents that have a lot of free time at the moment herself and ask if they are interested.Sakurako Teketomi-sama works hard
>>281189953>What happens if one was to enter space in a Trion body?>A: Might go into sleep mode and start orbiting. Won't burn up when entering the atmosphere, and can safely arrive on land (or sea).lmao

>>281190970Sandrovich Yabako has demonstrated to us what the end stage of tournament manga looks like, and it's not pretty.
>>281188275Hanzaki is the only other sniper besides Narasaka that can get 1km+ hits. That just doesn't really come up much. He's also so accurate that Suwa was able to exploit it and do a super focused shield knowing Hanzaki would dome him.
>>281189464>riding Raijinmaru in places where he can't be seen by other people but was captured on film by cameras anyways.based
living the life
>>281189953>We could always see people eating snacks in the Tamakoma Branch, who prepares these snacks?>A: Mostly Usami, sometimes Konami, and very rarely Branch Chief Rindo.Usami is too kind
>>281187046*late older sister
>>281191026>most of the snacks that pig Hyuse ate came from Usami's pocket
>>281189981>Is the person who cooks for Tamakoma Branch decided in shifts? Want to know what sort of things they are good at cooking.>A: It is decided in shifts. Tamakoma Second cooks together as a shift, and they are not good at cooking a particular dish yet. Jin is good at hot pot, Karasuma is good at Italian food which he learned to make from his other job, Reiji is good at everything, Branch Chief Rindo is good at hamburgers, Usami is tempura and fried chicken. Konami only knows how to make curry.so everyone on T2 can cook. I wonder how Hyuse works in that scenario.
>>281189981>Are there other units that are widely known and highly popular aside from Arashiyama Unit?>A: Nasu san, No. 1 of A Rank Tachikawa, ex model Osano have all appeared in TV specials, and Osamu appeared in that press conference. They are all relatively well known.Nasu was most likely promoted as a cripple who can now walk thanks to border. Tachikawa is rank 1 one and would get recognition from that.
>ex model Osanoso she was quite popular.
>and Osamuyup. His popularity chart lies.
>>281189396>>Q.082>Hanzaki is「famous for precision shooting」, is his level able to participate in「avoid the fish and shoot the body game」?>(Note: Pretty sure this is talking about Hyrein's Alektor)>A: Even though he's always unmotivated, he probably is able to.pretty much a Toma Lite then
>>281191060Hyuse is good at tasting food
>>281189997>Are there characters that wear contact lenses?>A: Fuyushima san, Kunichika, Hitomi san, Kon san, Kagami.Kunichika in glasses would look cute. Fuyushima in glasses might look more his age. Hitomi would abuse glasses up lens flare thing.
>>281187169What's up with the slutty pose?
>>281191092I think that's probably popularity within Border so 4eyes is not that high because he's not a social guy
>>281191093And Toma isn't exactly brimming with motivation considering he also got pressganged by Maki with shame.
>>281189997>Do adult agents drink alcohol? If they do please tell us their drinking capacity.>A: From strongest to weakest: Branch Chief Rindo, Netsuki san, Tsutsumi, Azuma san, Kako san, Fuyushima san, Suwa, Raizo, Ninomiya, Sawamura san, Reiji, Tachikawa, Shinoda san, Kazama san, Karasawa san. Kinuta san can't drink.>Kamzama gets smashed in two glasses>proceeds to 1 vs 1 anything that looks like a mailboxthe absolute state. also just imagine if he triggers on during this.
>>281190036It would be my bet. She eats all the time and the moment she feels hunger she drops down and Futaba brings her more.
Raizo doesn't have trained pets who bring him food on demand.
>>281190009>>281190015Ashihara sure puts a lot of effort into this
Raizo probably sells torrented movies to other agents.
>>281190044>How much does Ashihara sensei sleep on average every day? Do you sleep on a bed or on the floor with bed covers?>A: Before, I slept only 3 to 4 hours a day, and before handing my manuscript in I pull all nighters, only sleeping for 8 hours after handing the manuscript in, that sort of cycle. After my neck started having problems my cycle turned into sleeping 6 hours a day. Also might still pull all nighters before handing in my manuscript according to the situation. I sleep on the floor with bed covers.Editors need to bash him until he sleeps a solid 8 hours+ every day. This is not a joke. Sleep is one of the most important things for overall health and recovery from any injury. 6 hours is just not enough.
>>281191164>Shinoda is a lightweight>Netsuki will drink you under the tableNot at all what I would have expected.
>>281190062>How is a story like WT that is full of little foreshadowings created? [Many]>A: They aren't really foreshadowings in my opinion... I only drew little hints about things that are going to happen a little bit slightly ahead, and compared to foreshadowing, they are more like foundations for what's to come. It's really important to have a certain understanding about the direction of the story isn't it?>Not just limited to WT, what does Ashihara sensei think is the most important aspect about creating and drawing manga?>A: I think the most important thing is still「interesting」(drawing with the thought of presenting this interesting factor to the audience), but personally my focus is「inspiring the reader's imagination」.we really do have it good.
>>281188473Border should try to copy boost. It seems like a very useful option trigger.
>>281188609So even among neighbors where they would have better trion gland development the average seems to be around 7 or 8.
>>281190125Ashihara says that Katori is one of his favorite new characters so it depends on the timing
>>281190117it feels like he dumped Kogetsu in the trash the moment he made raygust
Ashihara, come on.
New edition of BBF. You already have the notes and there is a lot of color pages that can go in it too.
Even your editor can probably put it up together in a nicely put package.
It's free money..
>>281188609Why is Yomi, their operator, being ranked with combatant stats and not operator stats.
>>281190133>favorite paper is 10 thousand yen notesbased hyper capable manager-san
>>281191568BBF only existed because of Saito's effort
I don't know if Ashihara's new editor is up to task
>>281190154>I originally was going to make a sports manga, but when I was talking to my editor he said「No, you can do more of what you feel like doing. Innovating new things is much more interesting isn't it?」first editor was that Bapty-guy right? then he takes second place after the guy who saved Ashihara's life.
>>281179279Can't wait to see grown up Kaede
>>281188626That's probably possible the same way as Kitora's custom spider gun. But he only has one free slot. So he'd either have to give up the grasshopper on his sub or only have one spider blade.
An experimental T-2 trigger like connector could probably make it work in one slot. Or he could just get the engineers to remake the one he had in the neighborhood. It was most likely Yugo using border tech anyway and it doesn't seem incredibly broken. So it could just be a new normal weapon like raygust.
>>281190366Yuba did best on his assignments in his team and he was the one who properly fixed the door. He is actually smart.
>>281187321what if she has a side effect that gives her trauma when she harms people?
>>281190169>The difference is that winning and losing doesn't matter in Rilienthal. Something like 「If someone loses, someone else can come to the rescue」. They can work together and solve the problem. In World Trigger, as I said earlier, I wanted it to be a story about winning and losing. So even the weak characters have to fight with their own powers.>That‘s what the biggest difference between them is. For the characters, I think World Trigger is a very grim and harsh story.as a reminder Ashihara is popular enough that he should be allowed to kill now
>>281188265>Trying to stop a BT user who just won you a war is a real bright ideaDidn't stop the hero betrayal in isekai.
>>281191731No, his editor said he could kill in his next manga (which is a never ever)
>>281191582He's kind of both an operator and combatant. He should have both sets of stats.
>>281191568After the combat phase so all of the A ranks' info is available.
>>281190209>When I create characters the first thing I think about is their names. Once I decide on a name, I can start feeling something like「oh, he's probably this sort of a person」.>So I first created about a hundred of characters.Ashihara...
> In World Trigger's case, I first decide upon what kind of an organization Border will be, and use the different units within as a template for deciding characters. And from these units, l‘d decide what the captain's personality will be like and then think about what kind of agents would be under them...I thought about a lot of things like this. Then, if I find a team interesting then I would let them appear first in the manga. There are indeed a lot of characters, and there are probably a lot that haven't made an appearance yet. (laughs)
