Wind Blows Through Me - Aesoleucian, briarglades

Summary:

The tall one attacks without ever taking his hands out of his pockets: glowing pyramids sparkle into existence beside him and shoot into the Neighbors, leaving smoking craters and knocking them sideways, forcing them to turn away from Chika. Inukai is running around to the side with that almost skipping gait as he shoots so that the front one's attention is divided. And then like a flash of black lightning the third man arrives, cleaving the Neighbor's eye in two with a long sword. It falls like thunder. It's all over within what feels like less than a minute. Three monsters the size of buildings, and they didn't stand a chance. They have to be Border agents. She never knew Border agents could do that.

Chika joins Border a bit earlier.

it's a buggy bug world out there

[babblingbranches]

On the surface, Ninomiya's shuffled squad seems unfavorably imbalanced, having three snipers, but it's not like Chika has to operate as a sniper. With Hound and Meteor, Chika has the option to fight as a shooter. In fact, they could end up using the strategy they never got to use with Hyuse, with Ninomiya shielding Chika while she blasts everyone away with raw firepower. Alternatively, if there's a situation that calls for more technique over power, like with composite bullets, Chika can take over the role Tsuji and Inukai usually have on Ninomiya squad, and guard Ninomiya with her impenetrable shields while he does the shooting... Wow, Ninomiya really said "Fuck game balance," when he chose his first two squad members.

[spoilers for world trigger season 3; i know it's been out for like 2 years now but ik that WT is likely getting a new audience]

the beauty of the b rank wars arc is how it completely goes full circle

obviously, one of the more blatant full circle moments is tamakoma-2 basically doing a revenge match against ninomiya's squad

but here's something even more poetic: the way tamakoma-2 finish their first b rank war match is literally the same way they beat their last one:

with osamu making the final blow from behind (with a shooter trigger too!).

and to make the parallel even more obvious:

[awesomecitys-blog]

I made a thing! well, three things actually, but they're here and ready to go! in preparation for my World Trigger fanfic, I created a stats page, character traits page, and a rankings page, mostly so I know where teams stand for the chapters (whenever I get to writing that is)

any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, loved, and helpful (please please please tell me what you think, the more thoughts you tell me, the better I can make this)

i'll also be posting this on Ao3, whenever I figure that website out

[aftokrator-official]

actually? i bet Ninomiya is an angry cryer. few people have actually witnessed this because it takes a lot to get him to that point, but it's true. Azuma became very familiar with this tendency of his when he was in his squad

[strawberrystepmom]

yeah the pacing in s1 is awkward, but they get it together later! my watori faves are: jin (me when i’m predictable), tachikawa, kageura (you’ll meet him later and tbh his energy reminds me of grimmantha), yuuma, chika, konami, karasuma, hyuse (meet him later), ema, ninomiya squad

i'm crying bc jin is truly reskinned keigo and i love that for you <3333333 excuse me while i privately dream about the two of you in my little paper doll world

honestly kageura is probably going to be a problem for me unfortunately. i love insane people as an insane person. but tachikawa......mira help me. HELP me mira. i saw him and my body took a screenshot. a virgo man can be something so personal to one lil pisces...

so far, i really like everyone. kageura thrills and terrifies me both because i know he's gonna be a problem. i've also squinted long and hard at azuma. he's very handsome, giving uchiha.

World Trigger chapter 231

Ok first thing I have to say: I LOVED THIS CHAPTER!

The way the other squads were confused by Suwa squad's sudden improvement and how some of them quickly realized that this was some Osamu strategy, I loved every single one of those moments.

Katori all happy because of the wins in a row of their team, so adorable! Without mention Suwa, proud of his squad and pretty much saying "fuck them all, we're on fire!"

It is very interesting to see how the improvement of one squad can motivate others to seek other ways to improve too. They don't want to be the best one, but improve themselves! (well, maybe with some exceptions aka Ninomiya lmao)

Karasawa and Osamu are so much alike haha, it's funny. Usually they go along the same line of reasoning, no wonder Karasawa is always expecting great things from Osamu. They could have a great teacher-student dynamics I guess.

But the last page worried me a little bit! Chika doesn't look okay. Being on Ninomiya's squad sucks tbh. He's arrogant and perfectionist, it must be very hard on her to be around him (not to mention the whole weird situation of her brother and Hatohara that must be uncomfortable between them). I wonder what exactly is going on, but I'm pretty sure that Yuzuru will be there to defend her of Ninomiya's rough words.

Overall, I must admit that I'm kinda happy this part of the arc (battle simulation exercise) is coming to an end because it's getting a little tiresome. But before that I still want to see more of the opinions of A-rank judges. They are so much fun!

[obseletrix]

Any thoughts on the old Azuma squad with Kako, Ninomiya and Miwa?

this is probably the dynamic that cancels each other out the most. they're all kind of disasterous, but if you shove them together they negate each other enough to be an actual fucntional squad. that said? definitely the squad that would implode if stuck in, say, an elevator for fifteen minutes. ninomiya thinks this is his own personal hell. kako thinks it's her own personal heaven. azuma masters zen meditation because it's the only way to deal with the stress of this squad. tsukimi videos the funniest fights and sends them to the operator group chat, who all give her money and sweets to compensate for her suffering. miwa is over here in the corner, talking to his dead sister under his breath because boy never got grief counseling and needs to convince himself border is worth it. they crush everyone else in rank wars while kako and ninomiya hold a cool pose contast that only one of them is aware of. miwa and azuma strengthen their mother/daughter bond via the power of MEAT.

WT Twitter Q&A dec 2022

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

Day 5

My translations:

Q. Please tell us the n.3 ranked sniper (predicted to be Azuma-san)

A. After double checking the data, it is indeed Azuma-san

Q. Are Ninomiya-san and Kako-san able to understand each other based on the fact both like "talented people"?

A. Ninomiya seems to focus more on talent as "a piece that form the unit" while Kako-san seems to focus on talent that "shines as an individual", so maybe they don't have much to talk about

Q. Why are there so few Shooters?

A. I think it's because the top 3 Shooters, Ninomiya, Izumi and Kako-san, in many ways set an example that's hard to follow, and because the approach of "raising and adjusting the level of performance with tools(guns)" seems more possible.

Q. Who was the fastest member to be promoted to A rank after enlistment?

A. The conditions for being promoted to A rank have changed little by little as more members join, so it's hard to say, but I think Narasaka, Utagawa and Kikuchihara were the fastest.

Midorikawa, Yuzuru, Kuroe and others were also fast.

If we include operators, then Hyami-san too.

Q. From who did Amo-kun inherit his Black Trigger from?

Q. Is Amo-kun a neighbor?

A. The Black Trigger that he wields was left behind by Umesaki Tetsuya, a member of old Border.

He is a normal Meeden person (Mikado citizen).

Q. Once Torimaru's Geist is turned on, is it possible to turn it off? And does Reiji-san's Full Arms work the same?

A. Geist can't be deactivated once it's been activated.

Full Arms can be deactivated, but the Trion consumption will be greater than normal since three triggers or more are used at the same time.

Q. Does Mikumo-kun become more handsome without his glasses on?

A. Yes, but most people wouldn't recognize him as Osamu.)

Q. Do you think Yotaro being carried by Raijinmaru is heavy for her? Also, how does Yotaro feel about the ride?

A. Raijinmaru looks like a strong being, so I'm sure she's fine.

Yotaro is "Be the wind. Luksury(luxury) & Eksekutive(executive)" I think.

Q. In chapter 118, who was number 338 that Toma shot during the stealth and target acquisition training?

A. I may have already answered this, but it was either Oki or Tonooka. Tonooka would have been ranked 3rd in that training, so if he managed to escape Toma, number 338 would have been Oki.

Q. I would like to know from where each member of Suzumari-1 was scouted from.

A. Kon-chan: Chiba prefecture

Taichi: Kouchi prefecture

Kou: Ehime prefecture

I believe it was

Q. Tsuji-chan seems to refer to guys younger then him with "-kun", so why does he call Urushima by just his last name.

A. I think it's cause of his cockiness and lack of modesty towards the other party.

He also calls Yuiga, Satori, Hanzaki and Midorikawa simply by their last name, and calls Koarai "Koala".

Surprisingly, he calls Minamisawa "Kai-kun"

Q. What are the names and ages of Inukai's 2 sisters?

A. The eldest daughter: kanade (奏), 23

The second daughter: Akari (明理) 21

Q. Other than Yuma, who else has been scouted by Kako-san?

A. She greedily recruited Konami, Kage, Kitora and others. Kazama-san and Kinuta-san have also been targets. No rules.

Q. When Yoneya introduced himself, he said "Yousuke is fine", but why don't Izumi and Osamu call him by his first name?

A. Osamu probably doesn't since he feels uncomfortable calling his seniors by their first names.

Izumi probably doesn't because he doesn't want to be called by his first name either.

Q. Why does Izumi-kun call Kunichika by her first name?

A. Maybe because he wants her to call him by his.

Q. Who is the worst at cleaning in Tachikawa squad? Was Torimaru bad at cleaning too back in the old Tachikawa squad?

A. Torimaru was the only one who had tidying up skills, it's been sad since he left.

Tachikawa is the least tidy of the bunch, Kunichika only tidies up game related stuff.

Q. Old man Viza and Captain Gatlin are still fighting on the front lines despite their advanced age. In the neighborhood, is it normal for people in their 30s or 40s or older to keep fighting as long as they continue to use their Trion gland?

A. Viza is a rather rare case, but it is common for people in their 30s and 40s to still be on the front line.

Q. When Gatlin, Rata and Wen So were disguised as Idras was it thanks to Servitora(Straw soldiers)? Is Servitora a different trigger as it seems to set up somewhere else?

A. It's a trigger called "Katoptron"[kanji: headdress] that reads the shape of nearby objects or people and transforms your and your allies' Trion body into that shape.

Q. What did Yuma think of his father's Side Effect?

A. Until he inherited it, he thought it "sounds convenient"

Q. If Yuma lies, does it make him sick cause of his Side Effect?

A. I don't think so, but when he looks in the mirror, maybe he'll see smoke coming out of his own mouth?

Q. Does Miwa-kun have any friends in Border outside Miwa squad? Does he talk to Nire-san and Miura-kun who are in his class?

A. He probably doesn't think they are close, but he does talk to Hikari and Muller at school.

At HQ he talks with Saeki, Satomi, Momozono, Ouji, Kashio and Kotaro quite often.

Q. At the end of vol 20 you mentioned Arashiyama "forces Jin to go on dog walks with him", you mean by going over to Tamakoma and picking him up?

A. Yes, if Jin doesn't show up at the meeting place he does that, but most of the time, Jin does show up by himself.

Inukai Sumiharu as Vash from Trigun Stampede

and the rest of Ninomiya Squad…

[deathofthetext]

rereading ch 106. love this sequence at the end here.

ninomiya asks mikumo to provide proof he knows what rinji's plans were. mikumo says he doesnt have physical proof but he can offer confirmation if you let him look at a map.

but then mikumo says he thinks hatohara had her own reasons for wanting to go to the neighborhood, and ninomiya just leaves!

he did NOT want to hear that. the funniest thing is he didnt even bother asking mikumo for the fucking proof.

[deathofthetext]

#I can't strictly speaking include this in the post bc it was added for the anime but: #in the anime when she's like and me?? am I nice?? and tsuji's like yeah you're nice now #she puts a piece of meat on his plate. she gives him a little treat for the correct answer. #WHAT

just need to have this documented on hiyami post on my blog dont mind me

HYAMI POST

The first time I took note of Hiyami was during the away mission test where she, um, pilots Kou?

ALT

ALT

What's striking here is that there's no reason she couldn't just... say these things without being asked. She could just give her thoughts! But this is an operator's job, and this is a captain's job. She needs her squad to look a certain way. You could argue it's for the sake of the other team members' confidence in their captain, but she's still being weird.

We also see her focused on appearances in ch 236, when she calls a secret meeting in full view of Ninomiya to tell everyone to act Regular about Hatohara.

ALT

...and eight months later they're all still sticking to the bit.

ALT

Now, I don't think this was just for Ninomiya's sake. I think Hiyami is upset about losing her friend and is coping with it in just the most bizarre possible way: by getting her whole squad to put on a permanent play where they live in the world where nobody's upset about it.

I think it's fun that this act is what convinces Mikumo that Ninomiya is Uniquely Weird And Emotional About Hatohara. Like he's not wrong! But he just happens to be observing the one guy who hasn't been coached by Hiyami to Act Casual. Forever.

[apparently-artless]

for the animanga ask game: in world trigger do you have a favorite squad and rank war?

Hi, anon! Thanks for sending this. Nice question you got there. :)) Yes, I have a favorite squad and that's Ikoma Squad. I really love the vibes within the team. The members are all very likable, especially Ikoma and Oki. Oki is a very calm and collected sniper and I get to appreciate him more on the Selection arc as one of the groupmates of Mikumo. Ikoma is very funny and very unique as a captain. I mean, who talks about nonsensical things right before a rank war? Only this squad and I love them for that. (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡ As for the rank war, I definitely looked forward to the 8th and final round being animated and I think Toei did a good job with that. The first reason, Ikoma Squad is there (although they were totally annihilated lol). Second, this round became a huge boost to the improvement of Osamu and Chika. I loved this rank war because it's not Yuuma that became the center of Tamakoma Second's offense to defeat Ninomiya Squad. Osamu really did great in this rank war and so is Chika. Hyuse also did a great job in holding up considering his very unlucky location. He also became Chika's support when she was still hesitating to shoot people. Each member did their role splendidly which lead to a hands-down overall win over other powerful squads. They totally won this rank war because there was no team that underestimated Osamu, especially Ninomiya Squad, and yet they still won. They even went so far as to pretend that Osamu is not a threat to them but too bad, lies don't work on Yuuma. XD Damn, reminiscing the scenes made me want to rewatch that final round. (٥⁀▽⁀ )
