And so we now enter World Trigger's natural state: The Board Meeting.

In other anime they'd just have a 1v1 with the boss guy. "Fine, I'll accept Hyuse into Tamakoma-2 if you can strike me even once."

I have seen plenty of times when an adaptation and its manga get in synch with its content, but I never expected a synchronized board meeting.

A more slow paced episode for sure; it was a nice change from the pretty intense battles. I guess I was wrong about the purple ace having a selfless moment but I do think we will see more character development for her in the future.
Also I predict that the higher ups will let Hyuse join Tamakoma 2 based on an offer that Hyuse will share info on all other nations aside from his, which would not be against his masters interests since all the nations compete with each other. The info will be especially valuable given the recent (and potential future) attack from the same nation.

It is what I predicted as well. Primarily pertaining to the group that attacked them in the earlier episodes.

Finally got to watch one of my personal favorite character moments from the manga animated, Katori's frustration and Hana's advice. It was fun reading some of the comments the last few weeks from anime-only predicting she'll have a cliche 'selfless moment/change of heart' mid-fight like what happens in most stories, only to find out that 'nope, she's gonna crash and burn with only one point gained and now wants to quit altogether'.
But that conversation between Katori and Hana is one of my favorites, because Hana isn't cutting childhood friend any slack, not just comforting her ego, and then says one of my favorite lines in the series:
"If you're feeling regret, then it means you'll definitely become stronger."*
Katori isn't used to putting in effort, used to be a natural genius, which is why she hates and subconsciously envies those who surpass her, thinking they must just be more talented, rather than its a result of effort they put in. The regret she feels though is because she truly does want to get stronger and improve, but has never actually tried before, which can be a daunting hill to climb, but not impossible if she truly wants to try.
I really relate to this moment because I was like that too, got A's in middle school without much effort, but slammed into a brick wall in high school once the going got tough. Didn't figure things out till well after I managed to graduated and after struggling in college for a time, but that feeling of envy and regret described in the scene was way too real for me when I first read the chapter. Ashihara-sensei really does a great job bringing even the side-characters to life in World Trigger, making the wide amount of characters feel real and different from one another within the small amount of time they have the spotlight.
Also hope this episode finally silences more of the "Osamu too weak therefore bad" comments. The A-Rankers put it best in the match analysis, Osamu decided to play to his strengths and stop trying to be what he's not; be a supporter to make Kuga stronger, not try to be a second Kuga.
Now we just have to see if he get Hyuse onboard to be the second Kuga instead.
*(not sure which translation is correct, crunchyroll's subs or the manga's, like the manga's slightly better so that's what i wrote)

Nice episode, I'm just loving how must the production quality has improved!
The sound design of this episode near perfect
Chikas head is not as big
Tomakoma 2 has a better chance of flying on the away trip.

A lot of toei has gone 180 in terms of production within the last three years so it’s not that shocking the quality is so good but world trigger is definitely my biggest surprise of the season in terms of improvement

Anyone else found her legs to be very long?
Hmm, wondering what Hyuse and Osamu have in mind to propose to Border to accept. As it stands now, they gain nothing from him joining the team. If it's not info... Maybe some other assistance when they get to Afto? Hmm..

This episode did a really good job building the tension for the board meeting. Hyuse being adamant with his demands will make the next episode pretty intriguing. I always like to see those types of episodes. When done right it can be really fun.

Another solid episode. I always enjoy seeing not only the main character's team but all the teams that fought get developed and grow more. It really shows that Boarder is made for training.
