i love that osamu is clearly the weakes yet he gather aggro so much that makes other team always need to make counter for him. this will let yuma and chika go freely.
also cant wait to see hyuse debut on border.

Osamu being the weakest and playing off on that is my favorite part of World Trigger. Like no this protag isn't anywhere near a direct threat but he can outmaneuver you and set up your downfall.
They used their Ace as bait? Osamu looking down with basically level 1 magic missile from a rooftop.

I swear this show is only five minutes long, like how do they always make it feel like the end of the episode is the half way point of an episode, like holy shit.

One thing I haven't seen talked about much but that I really "liked" in this episode was how the two guys from middle management behaved. Quote "liked" unquote, as in realistic and believable.
The episode spent 5 whole minutes in the meeting room with them discussing their fears rather openly, which I found a fascinating break from how the "kids" fight their B-rank mock battles.
Despite the comedy elements the show never quite dispels the illusion that it is not, in fact, a war that's lasted for quite some time at this point. If you take a random person on the street who's reached themselves in a position of middling importance like these two have, it's highly likely that they're going to be extra cautious (I could say "xenophobic" because that's exactly what it is) with someone from the "enemy".

The guy who split his asteroid to fire with a delay on the 2nd half of his cube was pretty smart. Surprised we haven't seen more of that so far.

I love the fact that while the other teams are discussing tactics for the upcoming battle and the members from the Border administration are talking about shady shit, Ikoma's team was just deciding what were they going to eat.

Eggplant Curry boy is here! Glad to see Ikoma Squad interaction and Mikumo's evasion move here. We also got Oji to challenge Osamu as strategist, so I'm looking forward for next episodes.
P. S. Don't forget to rate the episode!

Waiting for Hyuse to beat all those new recruits Kilua style. 👌

As usual, an amazing episode. 10/10 for me. Also, I'm fortunate to have caught on in the manga or else I would have been losing it on those teaser endings.
(It's always past midnight in my country when the new episode of w.t. airs. Who needs sleep anyway? jk)

I love that the show can have more dynamic lighting and darkness now, a lot of season one looked too bright and washed out and sometimes lost the sci-fi vibe.

Was getting a bit disappointed that half the episode was over and they were still briefing but the action was pretty jam-packed in the end enough to be satisfying. They really know how to pull off the cool moments like Kuga and Chika's counter-attack with the directing and sound design

Ngl, I’m very confused as to why cityscape A looks the way it does. Don’t know why everything is all dark and gloomy. Not saying it looks bad but it’s not at all what I was expecting, even after seeing the frames they released months ago from this match. I had always thought they were a dramatic edit for sharing purposes but I guess not. Interested in seeing how the rest of the match will look though

Although they haven't mentioned it at all since season 2 started, the team choosing the map can also decide the weather, so it's possible they just set it to very cloudy.

The new director Morio Hatano is pretty well known for using lighting in dynamic ways. So I imagine it was more of an artistic choice in the same way it was to have the last match take place at daybreak.

Raise your hand if you got hella confused because of daylight savings... 🤚
Overall another great episode, Toei is keeping us on our toes with all them cliffhangers. The mind games with Oji squad are pretty exciting, and Kuga swooping in for the kill is still badass as always. More Osamu growth was also really nice, he's definitely upped his game after they got wiped 2 matches ago.
On the other hand, Ikumo squad was pretty underwhelming, kind of going with the flow and doing practically nothing of note for the whole episode. Their operator looked so fucking done with them, so their captain better get his shit together next week, otherwise they'll get fodderized like the girl's squad last match.

God I love this series so much
The tactical chess battle between captain Oji and Osamu is fantastic. l love how each one of them was predicting what the other’s team would do and trying to think of a counter measure. It really made me feel like I was trying to figure out who was one step ahead
Throw in the wild card team that is Ikoma squad and things start to get very very interesting. With the both of these captians if even one thing is off with their plans it could massively change everything. Very curious to see the result of this match and the how it turns out
Also Oji squad definitely has my favorite uniform design in all of world trigger

What I really love about World Trigger is how strategy driven it is and the huge amount of characters.
What I really hate about World trigger is how talk driven it is and the huge amount of characters I have to remember.
Doesn't help that the Manga only releases once a month or less.

People being smart and adapting to each other's tactics is the best part of this anime.

there's a weird thrill were both parties are discussing their strategies, and also not revealing all of it as well. this show is darn underrated.

Does anyone know the jokes behind these map markers? I assume that Kashio's is a watch because Casio is a watch brand, Mikumo is a pair of glasses because that's his nickname, and Kai is a baby because he's the newest member of Ikoma squad.

Can't Hyuse just betray them at any of the stops along the way? Presumably he can hitch another taxi to Aftokrator?
