World Trigger 「肩ズンFig.」 Tamakoma-2. HOBBY Watch

[azuma-kun]

I really enjoy AMVs so I’ll share one every now and again

[errs-other-other-blog-again]

The children yearn for mortal peril

[not-world-trigger]

Hyuse: The next time I come to you guys looking emotionally vulnerable feel free to knock me out so I don’t say anything I regret

Osamu: Don’t be like that! If anything’s on your mind tell us!

Hyuse: Please, just hit me in the head.

Chika: We’re here for you whenever you need us!

Hyuse: Hit. Me.

Yuma: I’ll do it.

Hyuse: See, he cares about me.

World trigger is so unserious half of the time and I love it

[conceptual-fic-sics]

Osamu, my dude.

Mister Mikumo.

What the

fuck

are you doing out in battle!?!?

Get your ass behind that computer screen! I don't care that you "NeEd the bAttLe eXpeRienCe" to protect your people! You're worthless if you're a warrior taken out of battle! Now put your strategizing and analysis skills to good use and let your heavily skilled murder duo + one deadly nuclear battery do the heavy lifting for you!

Give your spider web skill thingy to Chika and get a move on! Shiori could use the assistance. And the time off.

Siiiiiiiigggghhhhhh

Hyuse ultimatum

Last year I drew this piece to celebrate World Trigger being officially published in Viet Nam!!! I love my kids and I hope to see more of them in Vietnamese!!! I'm so happy!!!!

With the current arc taking as much time as it is, leaving the anime with nothing to adapt until it finishes, I feel like the obvious solution to the lack of anime content would be to just... remake season one. They could probably squeeze out 3 or 4 seasons from that alone, and remakes like Fruits Basket and Ranma 1/2 have proved that improved revamps are well-received and will garner an audience.

The new first season could be the intro arc + the black trigger retrieval arc, ending with Jin offering to recommend Miwa as a candidate for Fujin. The second season would be the whole Aftokrator invasion arc, ending with the press conference and Osamu's announcement of retrieving the kidnapped vitctims. I'm just not sure how to divvy up the first part of the tournament arc. There are four rounds, so logically, it would make sense to divide it up with two rounds per season, like seasons 2 and 3 did, buuuut round 1 was a curb-stomp sweep in Tamakoma-2's favor that would barely take up a quarter of an episode. So I think it might make the most sense to squeeze all four rounds into one season. Season 2 was the Galopoula arc + rounds 5 and 6, so bundling the four rounds into one season sounds feasible, given that Very Short first round.

#spoileralert!

Just rereaded chapter 248 of World Trigger again because there was no update this month and I came to a new realization about Osamu.

It was Hyuse's "...Osamu and his ilk are almost too unique" and Mikumo's "Think up a bunch of cheese tactcs to annoy the enemy into submission!" when they were explaining why Rokurō could be a good instructor in the future.

In the last time I only focused on the Rokurō's strength, Hyuse's explanation because I have been wondering that question too! But this time this sentence hit me hard as I realized Osamu has come a long way to this day. And the captain of number #2 B-rank squad is not just an ordinary person.

From the start of the anime, Mikumo was sort of an annoying character who was weak with a hero complex. If it were Kuga, who had the strength, wanted to save people, it might be a more lovable character design. But in an action series, being weak CAN BE considered as A CRIME. It's not hard to find those old comments about how frustrated they felt when watching Osamu.

My point is, my first impression of Osamu is only slightly better than those comments, but that because I was recommended strongly by my friend and not because I thought Osamu would have one of the best development. I actually quite like Osamu at the beginning too, because I'm weak for hero-type character.

But now thinking back, Osamu is a weird one at the beginning. He didn't save people because he thought they need saving, but more because he thought that something he should do. Other than that, he seems like all the typical hero characters with his selflessness and humble nature.

But in the Aftokrator Arcs? That's when I knew I was wrong about my assumptions. Apart from how crazy his action was, y'know risking his life to protect a FAKE cube, to achieve his goal of saving Chika. This is another worm I would love to dwell in on another post. I was shell-shocked to know Osamu had tried to break in the Border with pliers because he didn't satisfy with hia result. FOR WHAT? What are you even gonna do? Negotiating with the higher-ups?

There are actually many theories about what Osamu did, because as we all know, he DID become a member. But that's aside, I had the secondhand embarrassment when I watched what he did on the press conference. All of this is NOT what I expected about Osamu!!! It's exactly like a comment I saw on YT "He knew the rules, it's just to him his rules are first". And while it's completely far from I expected, somehow I didn't feel a single bit out of character, that's just the author's talent.

And in the Rank War Arcs, Osamu did bring his role as a strategy character to a new high-level if you thought about what their team had achieved. Even though Tamakoma-2 was nothing like a typical newbie squad, but still Osamu's effort is nothing to sneeze at. But do you know what's even better? That's us, the readers, normally don't feel like Osamu is that extraordinary or a super talented individual.

Until Hyuse pointed out how not everyone could repeat Osamu's actions, I always believed Osamu is a character who can be considered as normal type, except he also has good tactic-thinking. I mean, woah, completely caught me off. It was because the author had described Osamu's thinking process in detailed, there were no sudden buff-up training arcs, only hard work and determination, no friendship power, except you count Osamu's motivation.

And considering how Osamu had no exceptional background, his development is more impressive. He came from a weak character who would receive more critics than praises, to an outstanding character. He's not an overpowered opponent but the type if you left him alone, he would cause serious damage to your team.

Now the closed-environment phrase in manga Osamu is cooking hard, showing what he had learned in their squad's resuls. And better yet, his tricks always strive as a one-time trick, or even something anyone can come up with. But there is Hyuse, or rather the author, confirm that's no. Not everyone could continuously come up with effective strategies like Osamu. That was his own fighting way. And the developing process was so convincing that I, myself, didn't realize how far he had gone.

That's my thoughts from exactly a manga panels lol.

okay- OKAY, guys why is it that NO ONE I've seen talking about World Trigger has mentioned the Final Round fight? Or the rank-war battle that took place before the Shopping Mall Fight?

Everyone wants to laud the Shopping Mall Fight, Hyuse's debut fight as a member of Tamakoma-2, as this epic and amazing battle. And it's great don't get me wrong, I will NEVER turn down a chance to see Hyuse and Yuma team up with each other or a chance to see Kageura in general.

However, I loved seeing Chika dupe the guy who was chasing her twice; once by jumping over an imaginary wire to stall him for a few seconds, and secondly by firing at the ground in front of him to force him back!! Also, Mikumo cut a guy in half in that fight, right? Why does no one talk about how CLEANLY that was animated??

Somebody needs to recommend World Trigger to Danny Motta... PLEASE.

Guys.

I am currently watching the last few episodes of Season 3 right now. I had to open Tumblr to give myself a break from this awesome action to praise this series. HYUSE HURLED A CAR AT SOMEONE!! :D

Oh, and I think my favorite characters might need to be reevaluated. Maybe. Ikoma and Yuba are both very funny men. Kirie Konami is still my undisputed number one Best Girl, though. She's my spirit animal.

[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:

[not-world-trigger]

Chika: Usami just pulled me into the other room and I thought she want to have a serious talk, but she just wanted to give me m&m’s with Osamu and Yuma seeing.

[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
