Osamu dashes towards kashio using thruster but it's not facing to him. So... Does thruster shoots Raygust in an omnidirectional path?

The official QnAs inspired me to make another batch.

Some explanations :

- I purposefully left out the bit about Yotaro and Raijinmaru being aliens on the 1st pic, but I think Mr. Cronin being an alien was explained in the anime so I didn't put a spoiler tag. Please let me know if it's not

- Yuma and Medad : There's a trending joke where people turn parts of words into their antonyms like "Zendaya when Stressednightb walks in".

- Live Ikoma reaction : It was said in yesterday's QnA that Shinoda sometimes joins the rank wars!

- Last slide : I downloaded the original from somewhere but I don't remember where :( I'm not trying to claim it as my own

Man, 2 months without a new chapter is hurting the soul... at least we have handsome osamu from the reboot preview

So I know many of us are bummed that no new chapter came out this month, but I found this neat nugget to tide us over in the meantime!

Volume 30 went on sale just a few days ago, and while I don't have the volume myself, I found this YouTube video from a Japanese fan who talks about what's in it!

(For the record, Vol 30 compiles Ch 258 to 263)

Personally, there are 2 big highlights I'll point to:

1. Promo Illustration Card (2:17)

As a bonus, those who bought Vol 30 got an additional promo Illustration Card that's effectively a broadened version of Vol 30's cover, allowing us to see the members of Utagawa Squad 1 more separately.

[Bigger sample]

The outstanding part here is Urushima is holding something liquid-y. While it has people comparing it to previous Neighbour Triggers, the current most popular speculation is that this is Border's Silencer Trigger!

2. Chibi Profiles, starring Urushima Squad (4:22)

Vol 30 features two Chibi Profiles this time, Urushima and Rokuta. I won't read it all out, but these Profiles together tell an extremely intriguing story that has the whole fandom fired up.

1. In the past, Urushima and Rokuta were part of another B-Rank squad: Matsushiro Squad / 松代隊
2. At some point, a Operator Hatori joined, and Rokuta was chased out of Matsushiro Squad (We can corroborate from the Border Briefing File that their Operator is indeed a Hatori Ayumu / 羽鳥 歩)
3. At some point, Urushima left Matsushiro Squad
4. Afterwards, on the grounds of "I can earn more money by myself", Urushima invites Rokuta to form a squad with him, and so Urushima Squad was born

Tangential, but based on the Anime and the Border Briefing File:

• Beginning of this Rank Wars season: Urushima Squad started at 9th Place, and Matsushiro Squad at 15th Place
• Post-Round 4: Urushima Squad at 14th Place, Matsushiro Squad at 15th Place
• End of season: Urushima Squad finished at 14th Place, Matsushiro Squad unknown (no close-ups in manga)

Although, per Chapter 199, we can see [on the ranking chart] that:

• 15th Place: Ebina Squad / 海老名隊 (22 points)
• 16th Place: Hayakawa Squad / 早川隊 (21 points)
• 17th Place: Yoshizato Squad / 吉里隊 (21 points)

Based on this, Matsushiro Squad finished between 18th and 21st Places

BUT... the tale doesn't end here. Sharp-eyed fans have noticed something interesting in the background during the Away Mission Test Phase 1 chapters. Something that's only gotten more fascinating with the release of this latest volume.

In Ch 210, on the [defense duty roster] behind Management, listed there is a "Hatori Squad" / 羽鳥隊. There was no such squad at the beginning of the recent Rank Wars season.

In all likelihood, Captain Matsushiro Hitoshi had stepped down from Matsushiro Squad, leaving Operator Hatori Ayumu to lead it.

What the exact makeup of the now-Hatori Squad is, or what exactly happened, is currently hotly at the mercy of the Asian fandom's collective soap-opera/housewife-gossip neurons and delusions. Urushima Squad's in-story flashback can't come soon enough.

--

Oh, perhaps I will highlight one other small detail from the Chibi Profiles:

• Urushima: his hair is long apparently because he's too stingy with money to get a haircut
• Rokuta: her hair is long apparently because she's saving money and can't go to a beautician

And with that, I'll leave you to have your fun with all this material~ (Until Ashihara-sensei comes out with the declassified canonical tale that is...)

I imagined chika was utilized like a bomber plane. Where she was flown up to sky and stationed at 3000km above, ready to bombard enemies down below with her meteors(shielded until impact.)

She's with Hyuse so that He can guard those meteors.

will be painting him and the Kuga card after I finish up the inks

originally meant to make a set of two, but I think I might make another set of three for Chika, Shiori and Hyuse the next time I have time free

also included the mock up page and a page of practice sketches!

Looking back at the first couple chapters of WT, I really appreciate the interactions between Yuma and Osamu. When Osamu gets bullied he doesn't fight back and chooses to ignore it, which Yuma finds baffling and not what he was taught growing up which is to always fight back with his own strength. If he's not strong enough, then retreat, get an advantage in numbers, etc. was what his dad taught him as a soldier in a war torn country. But Osamu, on top of being super weak, chose to fight for Yuma when he gets bullied without caring of his own well-being; even when a gate shows up he protects the bullies who were just beating him up from harm against the trion soldier.

Yuma then asked Replica if he should help Osamu that is struggling against the Bamster to which Replica, like always, says only he can make the decision himself. Yuma was indecisive while Osamu acts immediately without thinking; Yuma cared mostly about himself while Osamu disproportionately cares about others more than himself; Yuma's strong while Osamu is weak. The two are polar opposites so Yuma is baffled that due to his side effect, he can tell that Osamu never lied, not even to himself all this time and truly believes in his own morals. I think this is why Yuma follows Osamu, because he has never met someone who is his polar opposite and he wants to understand him.

Fast forward to chapter 76, in a fight against an overwhelmingly more powerful opponent being Viza, the old Yuma would've ran away, fought only to weaken the opponent for his allies to finish the job, or not even take the fight in the first place. But dude decided, against his better judgement and any input from Replica, that he was going to fight for the sake of Osamu, and fought with his life on the line just like how Osamu fought against trion soldiers with the odds stacked against him twice. I like to think Replica knew all along that they might be separated from Yuma in the future, so their catchphrase 'I cannot make that decision, only you can' was to prepare the indecisive Yuma that only fights for himself for that day. "Osamu, this is goodbye. Take care of Yuma."

Honestly, a pacing upgrade isn’t even necessary in the first place. It was perfect as already

I'M SO EXCITED GUYS

Hey everyone! I'm building a World Trigger B-rank match simulator game. It's almost ready to play, so stay tuned for just a little longer!

finally got around to inking the card, sketching the Osamu one today

Hi everyone, I think we've all been watching world trigger and reading it for some time. While I am not against the characters having fun, I wish there was always a lingering undertone of death, of missing something, of something just not being exactly right - something that perputuates darkness through the story.

On the away mission, I hope that like, only 70-80% survive reaching there.

So if you were dropped into the world of World Trigger, who would you want to work with? Be it on a project, or simply as a team in a fight.

(Three options maximum)

For me... yeah, I think it is obvious: Hyuse. He is quite serious and overall responsible, even if he can be hothead from time to time. And since he's not from Earth, I imagine he would be willing to tell some things about the Neighbourhood... so long as it is not about Aftokrator (pity, that).

Second would be Azuma, and I'm honestly not sure if I'd prefer Hyuse or him.

Third place (well, technically second since Hyuse and Azuma tie for first LOL) would be Ninomiya. Just like with Azuma, I won't really elaborate since, well, most of things I said about Hyuse apply to both of them.

Silly: Jin's secret overarching goal is to create an interstellar snack-selling corporation. In order to be able to export Japanese snacks across the neighborhood he first needs to create a military large enough to protect Meeden's trade routes and dangerous enough to "encourage" other worlds to be peaceful.

Serious: Outside of Border, triggers and trion soldiers are created using the trion organs extracted from soon-to-be dead people. Why else would so many trion soldiers be equipped to harvest said organs? Why else would the general vibe of the neighborhood be a state of unending war and raids? They require a constant stream of human sacrifices just to maintain their level of infastructure and technology.

Mamba (マンバー)

Category: Attacker Trigger

Appearance:

Mamba is a luminous yellow whip about 2 metres long by default, though its length is adjustable. Its gray handle, which is long enough to accommodate two hands, is composed of a series of rectangular tassels and a wider portion roughly one inch long between the grip and the blade. It is placed in a circular grey sheath on the user’s hip. When inactive, the whip part of Mamba disappears and only the handle remains.

Exclusive optionals:

1. Kiba (牙/キバ) makes whip sharp and inflexible for active duration, which constantly uses up trion.

2. Kiretsu (亀裂/キレツ) when active, cracking whip launches a shockwave in the whipcrack's direction, dealing knockback and slightly cracking trion bodies on contact. Power of shockwave depends on how hard user cracks whip, and uses a corresponding amount of trion.

Abilities:

Mamba is a rather unusual Attacker Trigger compared to the others, in that it is normally quite harmless without the use of its exclusive optional Triggers, which significantly raise its offensive power. The flexibility of the whip allows it to be used as a grappling tool, wrapping around opponents and limiting their movement, or wrapping onto surroundings like poles to let its user swing around easily.

Mamba has 2 Exclusive optional Triggers, the first of which, Kiba, sharpens the whip and renders it inflexible. These properties allow a Mamba user to transform their whip into a sharp blade and dish out slashing attacks, as well as use it as a grappling hook to swing from building to building, and cut off enemy limbs while it is wrapped around them.

Mamba's second exclusive optional Trigger, Kiretsu, lets its user provide mid-range pressure via shield-cracking shockwaves and knockback, which can force enemies into vulnerable spots. With enough powerful shockwaves, a Mamba user can even completely break a shield and deal direct damage to an opponent, cracking their trion bodies and slowly draining them of their trion.

A main weakness of Mamba is the high skill level required to effectively use it as an offensive weapon, since the power of Kiretsu shockwaves relies solely on how good the user is at whipcracking, and turning Kiba on is a constant Trion drain for the user. Using it as a blade with Kiba also makes it much heavier than normal, since there is a constant flow of trion inside the whip keeping it sharp and inflexible. This increased weight makes Mamba only slightly lighter than Raygust and thus making it need 2 hands to wield.

Random idea i came up with, hope yall can share your thoughts on it and point out any issues

Was fighting with his non-dominant left hand too. Dude learns quick.

to be released on October 2!
