World Trigger | Old Yuba Squad, Arafune Squad, Ouji Squad, Ninomiya Squad

[nccrum]

Hii!! I have a req for headcanon? It's about what the golden trio of border (izumi, yoneya, and midorikawa) just cause they're my fave Headcanon about what kind of chaos they'd do during their free time? I hope these are within your rules hehe ty!

*Emerges from dumpster* How long was I trapped in there? And how long has this ask been sitting in my inbox?? I'll blame the dumpster for how long its taken me to get to this...

So, obviously these three are not the smartest trio in Border, but they know that and decide to spread more kindness than almost anyone else in Border.

They also happen to be the biggest pranksters at Border, not that it's any surprise. They can convince almost anyone to get in on their pranks if they try hard enough.

One time they convinced Kazama to scare Suwa by using Chameleon and messing with him and the rest of the Mahjong buddies. Suwa ended up almost strangling the attacker, and in return the golden trio was subject to Kazama's torment for the next week.

When exam season starts they are desperate to find someone to tutor them last minute, usually being Kodera or Narasaka since they're the closest and the easiest to convince. Their grades lacking is partly due to them being Border agents, but also them just not paying attention in class.

Since Izumi and Yoneya are in the same class at school the pair are especially lacking since their antics are amplified whenever they're together. The others in their grade have tried to help, but once you get them talking about any videogame they like you won't see them think about anything else for the next hour.

Despite that Izumi does have potential to be a good student, and sometimes feigns being ignorant on something for attention (which the other two will call him out on).

Since Yoneya's operating room is always dominated by the snipers of the squad, and Izumi's operating room is Kunichika's domain, the trio are mostly seen relaxing in the Kusakabe operating room since Midorikawa's squadmates are more put together and not as stingy with guests.

They frequently have movie and game nights and invite as many people as they can without Kusakabe getting mad and kicking everyone out. Special guests to these nights include: Mr. Shinoda, Yuma, Yuba, Touma, and Karasuma who likes chatting with his old squad mate.

They would definitely tease each other about their crushes and even purposely embarrass them qin front of each other.

World Trigger: Final Round

[saaraofthesand]

⚠️minor manga spoilers for the B-rank wars⚠️

Rating Border Combatants’ Uniforms B-Rank Edition (Part 2):

Nasu Squad: B-Rank 007

Rei Nasu. Squad Captain, Shooter, and fashion icon. She pulled off the greatest feat of design since Border’s founding. Something other squad captains can only dream of doing. Absolutely incredible. There isn’t another uniform that tops it. The futuristic vibes, the purple accents against the black and white, it’s everything. 1000/10.

Yuba Squad: B-Rank 008

70s off-duty cop vibes. The three neutral colors look weird together. Yuba just kind of looks like an asshole. Obishima was done so dirty. Yuba, get her in some high waisted pants and a cropped version of the jacket! She looks so awkward! 3/10.

Suzunari-1: B-Rank 009

Disgusting. The cropped jackets and Ko’s 3/4 sleeves do not work here. Honestly, 3/4 sleeves don’t work anywhere. Never wear a top with them. Whoever let these poor boys choose this look deserves a prison sentence. If you’re going to crop the jacket then you should either crop the shirt underneath or wear high-waisted bottoms. Otherwise you end up looking like that one girl in middle school whose mother was against crop tops so she made her wear a camisole underneath them. On top of that, the color choice looks weird with Ko and Tatsuya’s hair. Lastly, someone should take Taichi’s hat and burn it. 0/10

Arafune Squad: B-Rank 010

It’s giving me designer tracksuit vibes. Like I feel like its Louis Vuitton or something. Rin’s hair looks super good so bonus points for that. But we all know Arafune is super hot without the baseball cap. Give the people what they want. Let us see his hair. 7.5/10.

Katori Squad: B-Rank 011

I hate this. First, it’s canon that Katori purposely ripped off aspects of both Nasu Squad and Konami’s uniforms. Second, it’s just horrible. It fits the boys so awkwardly. It only sort of works on Katori because hers is a little different. It’s something straight out of my nightmares. It’s like if Barbie went to space (in a very bad way). 3/10.

Suwa Squad: B-Rank 012

The way this uniform is simultaneously a mess and also SO Suwa. Like if the look worked I’d be worried. It’s ugly as you can see, but also the mismatched undershirts just add that extra chaos to it. *Chef’s kiss* Ugly, but on theme. 5.5/10

Kizaki Squad: B-Rank 013

I like the matching headphones, but the color is no good. They look like traffic cones. The jacket design is boring. They should have at least added stripes or something. Plain, boring. 4/10.

WT Twitter Q&A 2022

The Official WT Twitter answered some question here:

Day1

Day2

Day3

Day4

Which I have translated to all who are curious:

 Q. Who was the operator of the old Azuma squad (Ninomiya/ Kako/ Miwa)?

 A. It was Tsukimi-san.

 Q. I heard Izumi-kun was the only one to hold his own against Ninomiya-san! If they were to have a ranked battle, would Izumi-kun, the master, win? I would like to know the win percentage!

 A. I think Ninomiya would win about 60% of the time in a 1 on 1 match. In a team fight, Tachikawa squad would win by a wide margin, and there were many occasions when Izumi beat Ninomiya.

 Q. Did Shiki-san of Nasu squad become an operator because she isn't good with men?

 A. I think it's because she isn't good at jumping and running.

 Q. Would Arafune-san be scared of Raijinmaru if she were introduced as a dog to him?

 A. He would say "It looks like a rodent." but if someone told him "This one… bites." he would probably brace himself.

 Q. Has Raijinmaru been around since Yotaro was born?

 A. Raijinmaru wasn't born until after Ruka and the others fled to Meeden, which was not long after Yotaro was born.

 Q. Why does the Trion amount increase when using a Black Trigger?

 A. It's probably because the Black Trigger's creator's trion is added. It seems like the output is higher than what the creator originally had, perhaps because the Trion poured is crystalized at the time of creation

 Q. Who does Nasu-san get along with outside her squad?

 A. For the boys, it's her cousin Narasaka, his disciple Kodera, somehow Zoe-san, and Utagawa who is good friends with Kumagai.

 For the girls, it's Teruya, Konami, An Kobayakawa, Tsukimi's younger sister Hanao and some others from the Seirin Girls Academy, Maki Risa who likes movies, and others.

 Q. Could you please tell us the name of Akane's brother! And, did they manage to confess to Kuma-chan before they moved away?

 A. His name is Shouma (祥真). I don't think he managed to confess. If he had, the farewell scene with Nasu squad would have been awkward.

 Q. Hatohara-san once shot someone and fell ill, who did they shoot?

 A. She involentary shot Utagawa while he was using Chameleon. After that, she practiced so she could snipe while also paying attention to the radar.

 Q. Why do Shooter cubes have different shapes like squares and spheres?

 A. Probably because they want to control the number and power of the bullets in detail. It seems to be a very advanced technique to divide the cube into shapes other than more cubes. Izumi could likely do it too, but he isn't so particular about the shape.

 Q. What's Tsuji-chan's favorite dinosaur? There was something that looked like a Plesiosaur in Ninomiya squad's strategy room, does he like Paleontology other than dinosaurs?

 A. He likes the Allosaurus the most. He also likes marine reptiles such as the Elasmosaurus and the Sarcosuchus

 Q. Can you use Teleporter even if there are obstacles between you and the location you want to move to?

 A. No, it can't be used if there is no line of sight to your destination, so it can't be used if there is an obstacle, if your eyes are blocked or if there is a smoke screen.

 Q. Does it hurt if you pull or push on Hyuse's horns?

 A. The area of the base of the horns and his head shouldn't hurt much, but if you move them around a lot it will hurt his neck.

 Q. I would like to know the rankings of the Gunners and Shooters like we do with the Attackers and Snipers.

 A. From what I remember, 

The top 3 Shooters, from the top, are Ninomiya, Izumi and Kako-san.

Top 3 Gunners are Satomi, Yuba-chan and Katagiri

Top 3 All rounders are Reiji, Arashiyama and Miwa, I believe.

 Q. Why does the gentle and friendly Tonooka-kun have a punk haircut?

 A. "Tono is plain and is hard to find (in rank wars)" Koala's sigh of defeat was taken seriously by Nono-san "He's not plain, he's skilled!" And she made Tono flashy, which was very well received and became the norm.

 Q. Was the "Bailout" developed by Galopoula created from scratch?

 A. It was developed after receiving information on Meeden from Afto, but the gate technology was already developed before. Like Border's Bailout, it eats up a lot of Trion just to set it up and it seems to be unpopular with Reghi and some others. 

 Q. What's Miwa-Kun's, Ninomiya-san's and Kako-san's favorite part of the Yakiniku?

 A. Miwa mainly likes the skirt meat and ribs, but is okay with anything, Ninomiya likes the shoulder loin and hip meat, and Kako-san likes the tongue and rump. Luxurious. 

 Q. In chapter 222, Mizukami-kun and Kon-chan seemed to get along very well.

 A. I don't know if they are close or not, but both of them have excellent grades, so they may have been treated as one by their school.

 Q. Kunichika calls Konami, Kitora and Katori by just their last name. Is this because they are younger or is there another standard?

 A. Perhaps it's a defensive instinct, to call those who are younger or the same age but who seem to be smarter than you like that. Only Kon-chan, who has helped her with her studies, gets called "chan" or "sama".

 Q. How does Jin-san's Side Effect work? Can he turn it ON or OFF?

 A. It's like having a new window open up in your vision (mind), you can't turn it off, but you can consciously choose to ignore it. The person you saw once gets registered in the brain channel for a while and seems to allow tracking future branching events during it.

[future-trigger]

Can you go more in depth on how you think the 19year old group would react to jin's kidnapping? It's been so long since I've read world trigger that I've forgotten most everyone's ages/group dynamics outside the main cast (it makes me sad thinking about how yotaro would take it)

There are so many great dynamics among the characters, and even though there's such an abundance and obviously I have favorites, I still think it's an incredible feat that Ashihara has been able to humanize every single one of these characters to such a high degree. The fact that all of these Border agents are such good friends with each other outside of their own squads makes it all seem so much more like one big family and I really love that!

The 19-year-old group is my favorite because they're such DORKS. Jin and Arashiyama are my favorite characters on their own, but knowing how much sillier they get when they're with the other three just... makes my heart swell. And just knowing that Jin has a core group of close friends outside of Tamakoma makes me so happy. ;-; He really needs that and before knowing about how close this group actually is, I was worried that he didn't have a close-knit group of pals so I'm just really happy that he has that.

SO HAHA LET'S BREAK THEM WITH SOME ANGST NOW

Yuba would probably just... be mad. He'd be irritable about everything and snap at the others and possibly even berate Jin himself for getting himself into such a mess. But of course, on the inside, he'd be bottling his very real concern, and I could see him go to blow up on one of the others but eventually melt and give it up. He'd probably be exasperated and depressed and unsure what to do.

Ikoma would definitely be the most emotional of the bunch. I think he'd be kind of confused about the situation and what to make of it, but he wouldn't try to hide away his depression. He'd be less talkative than normal, far less silly and carefree. I think he just wouldn't really know what to do with himself.

Kakizaki would be the one trying to keep the others afloat. He'd say reassuring things like "he's going to be okay" or "we're going to get him back." Deep down, of course, he'd also be feeling that dread and concern, but I think he'd be able to keep face the best of the group. He'd pretty much be the one trying to offer comfort in whatever way he could manage, despite also hurting himself.

Arashiyama would take it the hardest and I could see him just becoming lost. He and Jin have known each other the longest and are the closest, and Arashiyama obviously cares about Jin and his well-being a LOT. He'd be scared over what might be happening to Jin, what he might be going through at that exact moment. He'd retreat inside of himself because even though Arashiyama is confident and outspoken and reliable, he's also incredibly prone to worry and very fragile when it comes to his loved ones. He'd lose that sparkle in his eye and the glow around him would fade. He might feel angry at himself for not being able to stop it. I could just see him hitting a wall, probably one that he hadn't expected and wasn't prepared for at all.

They'd be there for each other, though. And when Jin comes home, a bit battered and bruised but still the Jin they know and love, they'd celebrate by going on a trip to Kyoto, to replace the one that they'd had to cancel when their friend was taken from them.

Chapters 40-43

Yoneya’s like. Listen, I know I’ve spent this entire series so far getting trounced but I’m not a lil bitch okay.

Not Yuma making the =3= face on top of a pile of corpses

I love how Yuma’s like. Osamu’s a good person and doesn’t realize what you’re doing, I however, have no qualms about ending your bloodline here and now.

Yuma’s out here explaining his 3D murder chess process and Osamu’s like “Write that down, write that down!”

I won’t say it yet but if you’re familiar with World Trigger, and if you’re reading this you are, you already know what Ashihara has to say about this sort of stereotypical shounen “I’ll work really hard and become stronger *gets random power up*” Trope. :3

Other neighbor countries that have been mentioned but not been relevant

We’ve seen this with Galopula as well!

Since Fujin’s current status is being used as needed on a rotating basis, here’s the list of agents who can use it. We don’t know much about Saeki, Yukimaru, and Katagiri at this point, we know Yukimaru is similar to Ikoma in strength, and an attacker in Katagiri squad, and Katagiri himself is a gunner. Saeki is an all arounder on Kusakabe squad, so all the contenders are A rank level agents. although they’re not all attackers. Realistically, Kako, Katagiri, Yuba, and Arashiyama and never going to touch fujin, since they don’t use swords, which leaves Kazama, Kitora, Miwa, Yukimaru, Saeki, and Ikoma as the non Jin Fujin candidates who we might see use it in the future. Obviously there’s already the history there with Miwa using it in the large scale invasion, but if I had to say who we’d see using it my money would be on Ikoma or maybe Murakami, Ikoma since he’s already used to using long ranged slashing attacks with kogetsu swordplay, and Murakami because he could learn quickly with his side effect.

Yeah, that’s the same line Jin mentioned before with Mikumo. Incheresting...

“That’s what’s going to give you a chance to fit into the upcoming invasion arc so the author can show off a character development moment”

Art appreciation moment. World Trigger really has very crisp, clean lines, so this jittering effect plus all the details really stands out, especially for background stuff. It makes it seem like the ground itself is shaking and being distorted from these gates. Really neat.

World Trigger: Final Round

[senkukogetsu]

WT 30 Day Challenge

Created by Hanamakkii

Day 11 - Favorite All-Rounder

This is another one where I had planned on using different characters than what I have on here. Though, this time it was only one that’s different than what I’d planned. I planned on using Miwa instead of Obishima, but then I reread the last rank battle chapters and Obishima just- stuck out to me.

Obishima is a young all-rounder who’s still learning and growing. I feel like she is growing in her own way, she is learning at her own pace. That much was proven when she thought Yuma was pulling the same trick before realizing that he wouldn’t use the same trick twice. And though she didn’t know this trick, she still had time to think “Yuma’s pulling another trick, but what is it this time?” And I just think that that shows her growth, and how she’s taking Yuba’s training to heart and always learning from those around her. She’ll grow so much stronger, she’ll be an amazing agent one day, and she might even rise up to being a captain one day.

And then there’s Tokieda, a solid all rounder who supports his team so well. We’ve only seen him fight like, what, twice? Once against Miwa Squad in the Black Trigger Retrieval Arc, and a second time in the anime only arc, the Fugitive Arc on the ship. Have we seen more? I honestly can’t remember. ): Anyways, I just think he’s a really cool character who would be a solid teammate. Like when he provided Kitora with a shield from Izumi’s bullets and sacrificed himself instead of Kitora with Toma’s snipe. The way he is with Yuma and how Yuma calls him Kitora’s Senpai before calling him Tokieda senpai. And the way his captain relies on him. I just love Tokieda’s dynamics w everyone. 😭🤍

Anyways, those are some reasons why I love Tokieda and Obishima.

World Trigger: Ch. 199

World Trigger: Ch. 199 ~ B Rank War’s End

We’ve reached the end of the B Rank Wars...!!

I think one of the best things to come out of this was seeing Katori’s character development. She’s still rough around the edges and needs more work, but the changes from when we first meet her compared to now is rather significant imo. 

We also get a bit of a peek into what HQ does. During the rewatch/reread I’m reminded of the fact that Border has a way of like wiping memories of former agents to prevent leaking of vital information, so it appears that Kanda (formerly of Yuba Squad) was able to avoid that, as well as Hiura this time. I wonder if the girl who previously left Tamakoma Branch (from Old Border) had her memory wiped too (forgot if it was addressed...)? Yuri mentioned how she’s living as a civilian now, and like this was after they lost most of their members, so I wonder if she might have asked for a memory wipe because of what they had to go through??? Just a thought :3

Also, Obishima crying just makes me think of sports manga (i.e. Haikyuu) where the athletes (in this case, the agents) reflect on their previous season and like all the disappointment & frustration catches up with them uwu these poor kids. It’s okay!!! Your time to shine will come soon!

It’s so nice seeing Chika and Izuho coming to see Hiura off. They really got to bond together during their Sniper training~~ And wow, for Hiura to recommend Izuho to join Nasu Squad--those are some big shoes to fill for our C-Ranker right now, but do your best in training Izuho!! Chika has faith in you and your seniors are looking forward to it too!!

We’re finally done with B Rank Wars!! It was actually a much longer arc than I thought. The Afto Invasion was like 40+ chapters, but this arc was like 110+ chapters (~10-15ish of them being Galopoula)!! It was a very long arc, but still very satisfying to read!

Masterpost of other chapter reviews.
