Was disappointed when I saw only one chapter today, but it's 37 pages, so it's pretty much the same as usual, just in one chapter format.

Overall one of the best chapter for this arc.

Respawn timer makes that non-viable. Her being worth fewer points just means it's not as worth it to hunt her down specifically. But she still can't afford to be suicidal. And if someone is trying to take out the whole squad then the individual points aren't that important.

the appeal is spending an entire month autisticly theorizing about whether a character is showing up in an upcoming battle due to individually counting the numbers of participant and noticing they're one short, and then be vindicated as the characters use that exact same reasoning to come to the same conclusion, and then get blindsided by a side character showing a compelling new side to them that lets you rereading the entire series to see the signs that allude to that newly-shown side

Yup, pretty much.
There are no weird powerups nor nakama powah. It's all about stats that can't get sudden boost (MC stats is the lowest between the named charcters), how to use terrain, the weapons peculiarities and psychological warfare.
Also, a lot of bullying to characters who lose against MC-kun, because you have to be utter shit to lose against him. It's the only thing that appeals to non autist fans.

What does Ashihara have planned for Ikoma squad? He's clearly been using this arc to build them up.
We had Captain Mizukami and Mario being one of the more prominent operators as she helps salvage her trainwreck of a team. Now we've got Oji playing with orphans. Ikoma himself had already gotten a lot of attention in rank wars but he still got the red freesia thing. Kai is the only one that's still basically an extra. But he even he got a little bit of attention this chapter.

It's more that it's a series that directly rewards your investment. You don't have to spend months theorycrafting between chapters, because the characters will also be doing that, but it's gratifying to see that the author is doing his own work. It's for people who appreciate seeing consideration of the world and setting, where the story emerges gradually from those parts interacting, rather than something where the story is designed forefront and all the polish is put into everything directly facing you

The lesson from Kitora wasn't exactly that being greedy was bad, it was that is bad for Osamu because if he gets everything for free, he gets too desperate to not fail people's expectations of him since he is wasting everyone's good will.

"Really believable"
"Protagonist who is weak and stays weak and improves at a realistic pace (FUCKING SLOW)"
"A very large amount of heart and pathos without being fucking obnoxious about it"
"Teamwork that ACTUALLY matters"
"Insanely good fight choreography"
"Funny as hell"

As a huge fan of both series, AssClass was a basically warmup for WT's massive cast.
Not every character is made equal, since some get meager crumbs of spotlight (Miura the air guitarist and most of the WT operators) while others get entire chapters dedicated to their backstory. But regardless I enjoy the grounded approach both series take in terms of characterization.

It's true. World Trigger has a big advantage over AssClass in this respect because it is a proper battle shounen with a well developed and autistic power system. What triggers people use and how they use them helps differentiate them and make it easier to remember who they are. This is especially noticeable in the case where it is absent; operators.

Is my reasoning too far stretched? Here's what I have thought:
Ko jobs during the first part of the exercise, sleeps to replenish trion, and then comes back as a menace. This would hint back to his matches against Kuga, both because he lacks inuition as he himself recognized and this might be the opportunity for him to grow in that sense, but also because he would take a nap and come back knowing better how to fire bullets. It would also enhance his squad as he can be an all-rounder (another reference to his friendship with Arafune who wants people to excel in multiple roles).

I know this is fanfiction-tier, but Ashihara's writing enables me to be this autistic.

I still don't really see how Ko using composites is a good idea since he'll need both hands to do it. Him dropping Raygust to make those will leave him open and no one else on the team is good enough to cover him except maybe Kurauchi, but then you might as well just cover Kurauchi while he shoots off since he actually does it frequently.

You know how Ashihara is autistically detail-oriented and ensures that even minor characters and throwaway lines matter and are taken into context going forward? Sandro is like a kid playing with toys, forgetting and tossing them aside and picking them back up whenever he feels like. Compare that with largely dropping what made Ashura great (the individual fighters, their combat styles and character dynamics) in favor of what he's absolutely shit at (toothless villains and nonsensical, self-contradicting plots) and his artist not giving a single shit anymore and you get Omega.

He has one spot left in his main trigger side, I feel even if he fails at compound bullets he could complement his style with meteor or hound.

Ko jobbing. Their squad already strikes me as fodder to show off the A ranks we don't know as much about. Having Ko trying something completely new and different like that just makes it even more likely. I'm skeptical he'll even get it down after inevitably getting killed and getting to take a nap. But he'll probably have some other helpful realization instead.

Kusakabe is ranked fourth for a good reason. Getting harassed by Satomi on top of dealing with Midorikawa has to be a nightmare. Saeki has double escudo (and I know anons want to see Katagiri with double Raygust but I believe double Escudo is just as cancer) and fucking whirlwind on top of that. Then as you escape these three battle autists you get sniped by a mute chad with a side effect. THEN turns out they are highly coordinated because the operator is the captain and had combat experience so she knows her shit and has skin in the game.

>Izumi's instant bullshit bullets backing up the no.1 attacker

>>281983228
In general it seems like the big difference between A-rank and B-rank is that B-rank squads are mostly built around a single ace while A-rank squads have multiple agents who can take the role. Kageura squad seems like the only A-rank squad that was entirely built around their ace.

Neither Cronin nor Raizo feel like a rushdown type so they shouldn't get to the contact line in the early stages. Kusakabe, Toma, potentially Sawamura & trion soldiers should be the opening act.
Rindo doesn't need to aura farm as he is death incarnate and anyone who rolled him just dies, with 6 in his mobility he also doesn't feel like a rushdown type.
Sawamura has strong jobber aura.
T1 are pretty slow with mobility 7 across the board, Konami with her 10 being the sole exception, if she wanted to she can get there on time but knowing her personality she would most likely wait it out to pick her targets. Rip to all those pure HQ teams, should have snatched at least one Tamakoma member to avoid instant death.
Tachikawa with his 8 could also show up early but being Izumiless on Ninozuma battlefield isn't a good idea and Izumi is bullet brain slug with a stunning mobility 5 on his stat sheet

You might be right about Cronin, he was a bodyguard and also Kazama likes being close to his teammates, but he also can be a pain in the ass given he created Viper and Scorpion (along with Jin), he likely has them in his loadout. Raizo is Kazama's friend so they got good synergy and I bet Raizo asked him to be his sparring partner to test and improve raygust.

Sawamura might be a better Kitora so definitely not jobber but out of the four special agents yeah she sounds as the weakest. Nonetheless she's enabled by Arashiyama et al.

T-1 are absolute mega cancer with aids given Jin will take the helm. His weakness is being overwhelmed by a skilled opponent so I'm thinking Kuga + Katori or a similar duo, thinking back during the BT retrieval arc. At least he doesn't have Fuujin but now he has three broken teammates, so whoever is taking him on needs snipers and gunners/shooters.

No gifts is a more complex issue. The nicer agents would feel obligated to give them stuff, probably to an inappropriate degree. And others might feel guilty if they didn't too, which could easily spiral out of control. You don't want people blowing loads of cash to bury the kids in more gifts than they can use. You also don't want to create a pity party where the kids start viewing their status as orphans as means of manipulating gifsts and favors out of people.
The best way to handle it would be specific dates throughout the year to bring them presents.

Jackson is an unlikely target even if Toma has him on his scope. Toma goes for high value targets only, with the current rules I can't see him going for anyone but 120+ marks. With that Suwa & Kodera squads are his most likely targets as two highest value squads on the b-side.
He could also try to go for Azuma.

I wonder if Hana spent some time there? I can't recall what information we have on where she lived/lives after the invasion.

>>281985310
Probably a combination of pragmatism and guilt. Agents get sent to visit to give them a more personal encounter with the cost of failure to protect people. No point in requiring more than one visit as they'll either get the lesson or they won't. Most don't revisit as they're attending school, training at Border, and trying to otherwise live their own young lives on top of that, and simply don't have the time. No gifts is to help limit favoritism, avoid financially pressuring poorer agents, and keep the kids from expecting gifts from all Border agents, or from feeling too indebted to Border.

Leadership visiting often is probably a combination of guilt and making sure things are running smoothly. Technically those kids lost their families because Old Border failed to prevent the invasion, stop it fast enough, and possibly even caused it by taking custody of the mother trigger and sheltering the surviving royals. Old Border also recruited a bunch of kids and got most of them killed in the war. So Kidou probably wants to make sure the orphans their failures created are being taken care of, and they have good options in life, including other than Border.

Border kids acting their age, I guess. Most teens wouldn't care enough to revisit, and Oki really only did it because those two kids happened to tell him they didn't think he would.

Even if he can spawn quickly because his trion body regenerates faster, it won't mean that his trion will recover too. From context, trion recovery speed is the same for everyone. Osamu needed a whole night to recover his cute and tiny 2 trion.

Makes more sense to dual wield raygusts than kogetsus like Tachikawa. You could do alternating thruster attacks for a really fast, oppressive, mobile offense. And you could still turn one into a shield at any time if necessary.

I remember when Kaguya was popular and good nips would come here to see our reactions. I remember this one YouTube compilation where an anon mentioned WT and a bunch of nips were surprised a westoid knew what WT was, they probably think its not popular here? Not like they are on the wrong.

Do they know about us? Since we are WT fans strongest

It's one thing to give every side character deepest lore but it's really, REALLY impressive to hint at it early then come back to it in a way that isn't forced or annoying.
Similar example I remember he said he came up with Yuba's design at the start of the series but waited 18 volumes or whatever because he thought the design was too intense to be in the story early for a minor character.

It's pretty rare to find someone with the combination of enough autism to plan things out to that extent and the restraint to hold on to it for years until it's appropriate to reveal it.

I think it's less restraint and more the same autism that prevents you from doing stuff that wouldn't feel right

Oh great, another riaju like Kakizaki and Tomoe. I'm actually happy for him though, I thought he would finally get mad at Kikuchihara

I sometimes see autistic groundwork laid out which ends up hastily revealed because the manga gets the axe notice. Feels bad.

This could've been Ashihara without a good editor. Hattori deserves to have a WT themed statue built in his honor.

Impressive that these guys nonetheless hit the nail multiple times, like Oji squad literally being the same (which statistically is like winning a lottery). Same with Miura, Okudera and Kitora in the same squad, but I guess the restrictions about who can be in a given squad make it statistically likelier to have these coincidences.
More comments because I love speculating on shit like this:
>Kuga still with Utagawa but now Shiki has to open up to Oki, I guess his big brother aura could help. Teruya would never be mindbroken by the water god but Kuga might have awakened the fightfag fires in her.
>Zoe would be the chillest squad with zero drama, but they would have been weak
>Lmfao at Suwa's squad being the same except with a second leader. Azuma + Suwa would have been too broken, but I guess they would have tardwrangled Katori earlier.
>Kuruma's saintly vibes might not have triggered Kage, but I guess Kai would have. Along with Koala, all three are fightfags though so they might have pulled off interesting shit during the sims.
>Kodera would have struggled without Kitora, maybe Hisato and Ema would have had some tactics/strategy growth with Arafune, but we would have no Hato backstory or Ema/Chika interactions.
>I wonder how Tono and Tomoe would have responded to Nino's commanding. I guess he would have given some hints to Chika about Hatohara and her brother.
>I guess water god would have shared more information with Kitora because she's reliable and can pull shit off no matter the stakes.
>Lots of potential drama between Ultima, Hyuse and Kikuchi, some headaches for Ko. But good performance in the sims ig.
>Taichi + Jackson would have been a disaster waiting to happen. Yuba might have whipped them into shape, but no epic comeback for discount megane.

The Away Test has really been good about showing off things that were mentioned in the extras/Q&A like Kagami's sculpting and Sayoko having a Side Effect.

I know the wsj threads are shitting on Saito nonstop but I cannot be mad at the guy who helped saving Ashihara's neck. I am glad the cat has been blessed with many good editors, including the zoomer he's working with right now, without him we wouldn't get chapters like this one.

Because these people don't understand numbers and think he ruined the magazine, despite the fact that physical media are declining overall given young people prefer tiktok and web-based content. They also ignore that he has kept Kagurabachi a decently successful series, in contrast with the previous EiC who wanted to kill it.

The new editor Ashihara's working with is named Takuma Yui, the cat talks about his editors including him in some of the volume extras.
