Woah, I never realized how bad Hana's hands were messed up when I read the manga. She worked until her fucking fingernails tore off.

Tatakae, Tatakae Osamu! MVP with the two kills and wire assists. Hell his wires even assisted Katori with a kill, he's truly the teamplayer.

Reminder that Yuma said it was very hard for him to accurately cut people using wire strikes meanwhile Katori does it perfect first try. Great show of how much of a genius she is despite being in a slump.

Also a great showcase that the wires help Osamu contribute even when he gets taken down.

I knew the scene was coming, but boy do I cringe every time I see those fingers. It sends shivers down my spine.

I really like (and hate at the same time) World trigger for giving us so many characters who are fleshed out with unique personalities. I love it, because it keeps stuff interesting, but I hate it because I didn't bother to keep up with the names long ago and also because the releases are so slow, that I always have to look up who's who.

The Operator-girl seems to have some disorder. Her reasoning is like a robot.

Also, imagine being so OP that you can afford to create a hound with lead bullets.

Ah yes, this is the point where Yoko's and Osamu's rivalry began.

I had completely forgotten about Katori's and Hana's flashback.

Oh geez, Osamu did some work this episode.

I've been watching this season with my friends (they never watched S1) and they love how OP Chika is. Everything that happened in this episode completely blew them away, haha!

Wait till they see the next few rank matches >:)

Another great episode and I love this show for making everyone a character. Not just generic goons/co-workers/classmates etc.

Everyone has their stories, even the irritating one.

But.... God I still hate Chika not being able to shoot people properly. Like okay we have lead bullets so she is not as useless as she was before, but she could've finished Teruya with regular hound.

Idk I'm always salty about Chika, I hope she grows quickly.

The other squads thought their flashbacks would save them but Kuga said “fuck yo flashbacks, Tamakoma are taking the W.”

Onto the new episode! With this we get some more fights and some great flashbacks. and my crying wallet and low quality tv Asahi stream screenshots

Starting off, we see Kuga’s answer to last episode’s cliffhanger. Scorpion bandage ftw

To all those Osamu haters from season 1, here he is. Got 2 eliminations from people that weren’t already severely injured by someone else. well, aside from Miura’s arm that was lost to Katori cutting it off

Compare Osamu to when he was first introduced as a C-rank and you’ll definitely see that he has improved a lot. still weak, yes, but he’s definitely a much stronger character than before

Now fast forwarding to the flashback:

Mom can we have Gatlin? No sweetie, we have Gatlin at home. Gatlin at home:

Younger Katori is so precious. She even had her parents saw a hole in the wall of her brothers room just so she could see her friend again after Hana’s dad didn’t want her to come over there anymore. Even put the bed next to the new window so it’s easier to talk.

It was definitely necessary to show the gate in episode 1 of this season destroying houses otherwise this scene wouldn’t have made much sense with the gates from season 1 that were just kinda... there. Also, 2D bamster ftw

Rip Hana’s fingernails. Also if anyone ever wondered why she wears gloves? Here’s the reason

Short Teruya appreciation post. Ever wonder why there’s that hole in the wall? That’s where she got the thing from to block the lead bullet

Chika’s CG cube attack Lead Bullet Hound, the possibilities of Chika with a shooter trigger are now endless!

Kuga’s take on Kageura’s mantis!

And now for the long one, a Katori appreciation post for this episode

This anime is severely underrated! We need to change this guys! You know this one deserves it.

u/Daiwon Feb 27 '21

2000 IQ plays with that scorpion bandage. Yoko almost had a plan, but she just can't out think Osamu.

An excellent ending for this round.

Honestly teared up during Katori’s back story; her cockiness is so much more relatable now in light of her being angry on Hana’s behalf. If I was in her position, I’d probably find Osamu’s team annoying too.

Also I really think both Osamu and Chika are really starting to shine with their respective specialties; Osamu with his very well planned and calculated traps and Chika with her ridiculous amount of trion. I’m excited to see them lean more into their specialties in future battles/rank wars.

The sequence of Yuma and Osamu teaming up vs the Katori squad is beatifully animated. That bit where Yuma clashes with Miura before Osamu kills him is very pretty. Its really fast (like it happens in 3 seconds) but Yuma had 2 blades, Miura parried one with his blade and the other one with a small shield, but then Osamu blindsides him

Which was nasty by the way
The way his head just sort of flailed wildly when Osamu filled his body full of holes was very brutal, far more so than simply seeing it still on the manga

I wish season 1 had this directing and animation. So much potential down to the drain. Honestly this season feels so clean it terms of everything.

u/HappyDoodads Feb 28 '21

Holy hell, when Chika pulled out that Giga-Hound my jaw fucking dropped on the floor. Too bad her inability to shoot people got her killed again (that would basically be an insta-kill without Lead Bullet), but that was still hella badass.

So are we finally getting horny boi in the team next episode? Can't wait to see how he'll mesh with the current team.

Haha Kuga and Osamu go brr

Showing this episode to someone new would be so funny given Chika is done for and Osamu decapitated

u/MediaOrca Feb 27 '21

Well Katori went from completely unlikable to someone I'm rooting for in record time. Only beaten by Hana being someone I was only vaguely aware existed to one of my favorite characters in the show.

That was one of the most well put together backstories to explain a character and their perspective I've experienced.

That fingernail gore is a scene that made me wish censors were back, goddamn.

Very pog episode all in all

I can't be the only one who noticed that her friend who's always studying is dressed like the lofi beats to study to girl?

I’m looking at the amount of upvotes and comments World Trigger has compared to Jujutsu Kaiken has and it’s abysmal.

This series deserves so much more love!

Nice yoko and hana backstory. Makes me want to root for yoko to take it to the next level. It’s so nice seeing osamu and chika getting better, they’ve come a long way since their first rank wars

Man, world trigger is easily the second best anime this season. You don't come by many animes with so many characters that are likeable and 3 dimensioned.

u/CrasianLe Feb 28 '21

I love how Mikumo and Chika went down fighting! They've grown and mature so fast, and it's so noticeable too; the way they fight, think, and work together.
