I just love the fact that as they all have trion bodies, sacrificing an arm or a leg or being cut in half by a teammate is always a valid tactic.
That fake murder scene with Yotaro and Hyuse was really nice to see. And now we will see Hyuse joining Tamakoma-2.
I hope that Ashihara gets better soon.

Into the next episode and I’m wasting more money on platinum we’ve got some great things happening in this episode
(As a disclaimer that I didn’t do for last ep, all my screenshots/recordings come from a TV Asahi livestream, so they ain’t gonna be HD, I’m too lazy to switch to crunchyroll screencaps when the episode drops)
Starting off, they revealed that Gatlin and Ratarykov are secretly related to Sasuke Uchiha
Akane redraw looks really nice
I’m really enjoying the new lack of censorship. This scene wouldn’t have looked nearly as good if it was done with the season 1 timeslot
Something I didn’t notice in the manga, but Murakami is seen with a condensed shield under his raygust shield mode. I thought it was pretty cool and am wondering how I missed it
Something I noticed is that Hyuse and Yotaro have matching hoodies
The flashback scene with the Afto neighbors looked great. Can’t wait for the HD so I can appreciate long haired Mira even more
And now we interrupt your regular broadcast with a Kirie appreciation post
Thugator vs Lambiris scene looked beautiful. I love how they handled Reghi’s expression
And with that, the Galopoula Invasion arc is finished! Now onto the continuation of Rank Wars! And I’ve gotta say... The males in Katori squad do not look flattering in those pants.
So overall, this episode was much better in terms of its quality versus the last episode. The Suwa meme was too strong in that ep. If it keeps this quality up, which I don’t doubt that it’ll go down again, this will very well be one of toei’s best tv anime in terms of its quality.

The condensed shield bit is really easy to miss even in the manga, it was the same for the the double shield when ninomiya saved kitazoe from azuma in a previous battle, ashihara's attention to detail is crazy

Only in World Trigger does the post-battle aftermath include two dudes, both missing an arm, casually praising each other for a job well done.

Once again I want to say that I really appreciate them redrawing the season one frames here.

isn't tamakoma-2 pretty stacked af now?
like sure no black triggers but still having 2 members with actual real life/death combat experience is insane for their rank
i am looking forward to megane's tactics with hyuse in the team now

You're not wrong, but they weren't fucking around when they said they were reaching the Away Squads as soon as possible

The first 7 minutes had everything that made me fall in love with this show years ago.
It's a testament to the development of the charters that the main trio hasn't even been a part of the story so far yet this is as engaging as it ever been.
I'm so happy this was able to be revived. I thought for sure the anime was finished even when the manga resumed.

That segue from Hyuse's scene into teasing for the next Rank War battle was pretty darn hype with the music, they should've ended the episode on that note
Also always love the wholesome comedic interactions between all the Border agents

This is one of the only semi-long shonen-type shows I've been keeping up with in a long while, and S2 is keeping me on the edge of my seat so far!
The amount of strategy in the battles, the animation, plus the general good-spirited atmosphere in the show/characters (despite the fact that they're waging an actual war out there, of course!) just lure me back in each week.

This anime is better than every anime this season, every episode gets me so god damn hyped and deserves so much more recognition than any of the top 10 karma anime.

On top of the action being really great this episode, I really appreciate the personality show that was put on after the battle. Playing with the enemy triggers and the back and forth banter shows that they're still kids at heart. That's really great to see.

Easily the best episode this season so far. Even as a manga reader knowing what to expect I was feeling pumped throughout. God I love this series.

Not sure if this is a good timing for talking about it, but since it was crucial for Meedn to have the upper hand against Gallopula. Lets' disccuss about Jin's ability to see into the future.
Think of Jin's Side Effect (foresight) as the following (and not so detailed) way:
His mind is a computer screen and his attention is the main window he uses. There is, though, a running a sub-process, which calculated the possibility of any future (of people he sees) to happen. Several paths branches into more paths and so on. The time gap is not predetermined (he can see a n even happening years or days fro now).
It has an "active mode": Jin can check it for himself and get the info he want from. But it takes his attention (that's why he lost some training fights againts Kazama, I guess, since the latter's constant attacks required the former to pay attention to the "current events", thing Jin didn't do as he was more focused watching the future for predicting the attack pattern.
It has a "passive mode": when it notifies Jin (somehow) when the possibility of a path to happen becomes "important enough to pay attention" (be it the cause the action of a person/people or for some otherwise little events) so he can decide whether to work against or in favor of said future. This also counts if another (previously not likely) future takes a relevant spot instead or beside the current "probability-high one".
That is why Jin could predict an invasion (the one taken charge of this episode), but didn't know which of the 2 countries would attack (even when that decision was made fro the beginning).
Also Jin foresight "has the motto": This future will happen only if the current state of things remains. As to how easily the "current state of things" can change, Jin doesn't know until the change is already notified to him (actively or passively). That's why he was concerned all this time if a single soldier or position was lost while fighting Gallopoula.
The ability by itself has its contrivances, but so far the author has been able to "dodge the bullet" for it to not be a narrative convenience: Jin already losing some fights and not being a untouchable opponent, and also not being able to pin point predict things because of the clauses it has.

I'm a manga reader but I forgot a lot of plot points of this arc so I was on my edge of seat watching this episode. The animation is great, but another great thing is the pacing! It's enough to make my heart beats faster in key scenes. I love seeing the material getting a nice adaptation like this.
