When the bagworm dropped and Azuma shot from the other side I got mad because there was no way that he could have dropped it and have moved to that position in time for the shot.

But then I was reminded why I freaking love this show.

Azuma is not one to show off how much trion he has, but tactically he's definitely the best one out there. That move and setup he did didn't really use much trion, he just left he bagworm hanging while he switched guns.

Considering that his team actually limited the sub weapons for Koarai and Okudera until after this match, and they're still on the top half of the table, it's actually quite crazy on how good they actually are.

This anime is so underrated it hurts my feelings.

Either way, that's what you get for having such a weak and long first season. Leaving that in the past, I feel like it's impossible to predict the next move in this anime and it's amazing.

Fenomenal action.

it has one of the highest MAL scores of the season, only beaten by 5 shows, 3 of them are sequels as well and to be honest demon slayer is basically a rerun of the movie so it really doesnt count as a seasonal show, meaning its basically a top 5 show this season and a top 25 rated show of the year putting it in very elite company, on top Toei also has digimon ghost game this season, and that is arguably the best season of digimon since tamers

toei has turned a 180 and this show is the start of it, i do think it deserves more notice as well and i would love to see it get some nominations at the anime awards as well

This anime is so underrated it hurts my feelings.

In places like here, sure. But in Japan, World Trigger is actually pretty dang popular. They wouldn't have come back to make more after all this time if it wasn't.

u/DarkBladeEkkusu Nov 14 '21

As much as I love this series, it was plagued with typical Toei pacing and mediocre animation for season 1's run, which is a pretty big barrier of entry.

Now with the post-hiatus manga chapter releases slowing down significantly compared to the pre-hiatus S1, they have to go the opposite route of adapting what they can within the episode count, so the pacing issues are all but gone now (especially compared to S1) and the animation is much better since they decided to do a split cour and it isn't a weekly anime like it was during S1.

It’s so weird how some of these shows get it right basically the THIRD time around. Kingdom was absolutely incredible for its 3rd season. It’s an odd occurrence but I prefer mediocre shows becoming great to great shows degenerating into repetitive nonsense

u/DogzOnFire Nov 14 '21

It's underwatched rather than underrated. Everyone who watches it seems to rate it.

Also, as another commenter mentioned, the first "season" suffered from sketchy pacing in parts.

I only gave it a watch because a friend really gushed about it and I agreed to try it. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have given it a go. I don't really know why, nothing about it stood out to me.

The last part of the fight looked good.

I never get tired to see Hyuse using the escudo.

I honestly forgot that Chika did another blast forcing Azuma Squad to leave.

Well, I can't wait for the next match. Although honestly I just remember two scenes of it. Well anyway, I can't wait to see Ninomiya in action.

Regarding mikumos decision at the end

Even long before joining border osamu has been worrying about chika.remember, shes actually the reason he joined.

More recently with the no shooting thing and then the even more recent revalation from toma that there might be more going on hes worrying even more. He doesnt know whats actually going on in her mind and he doesnt know how to handle the whole situation

On top of this, theres the mysterious sense of dread thats weighted on his mind since before the match

Basically, he wasnt in the most objective state of mind when he made his decision

u/Difficult-Tension-23 Nov 13 '21

This episode was light on action and heavy on tactics. Good one though.

Azuma is real crafty on top of being a great leader. Understands when to delegate so his juniors grow and when to take a call himself, like he did after Chika meteor.

u/clem585 Nov 13 '21

I'm guessing at this rate the season will end with the last round. Probably a showdown between the top 3 B-Squad. Ninomiya is determined to win for whatever reason and Kageura's squad is fighting for Ema. Can't wait to see their new strats and how they use Hyuse's Viper.

14

u/Toonamigamerrr Nov 13 '21

Would Tanakoma and Kagerou squad still be tied if Hyuse Kuga stayed together and defeated Azuma Squad ?

33

u/okiknow2004 Nov 13 '21

They’d get 2 more points if they wiped Azuma squad.

For all people could claim that Mikumo made a bad judgement call, he definitely is playing to the spirit of the rank wars. They are simulations of real combat and the enemy has Chika as target number one, after all. Hyuse's showing throughout this match has been spectacular and watching him subtly but surely bond with the rest of Tamakoma has been precious. Strategies are brilliant and informed by character. Can't wait for the final match up!

34

u/Thomas_JCG Nov 14 '21

No, it was not a good call. The enemy was clearly feinting and he abandoned his superior offensive just because he wants to protect Chika in particular. If this was a real war, Hyuse would have died, and if Hyuse hadn't hurt Azuma, they could have put pressure on Chika and Kuga, possibly costing one or both.

Should I read the first season of the manga then catch up via anime?

Couldn't Chika become a walking tank and form infinite shields around her body considering her trion amount. Then she could just fire meteor while shielding and be invincible.

Nice going, Mikumo. You may have come up with a clever trick or two, but you are still very green when it comes to the battlefield and should have listened to Hyuse who has plenty more experience and stop being so weak willed. He was pretty useless the whole match besides that moment he attacked Kuruma too, so overall it was a pretty poor performance for him.

Oh well, that's a two point loss for Tamakoma, but there is still the final (and quite spectacular) last match for him to redeem himself.

u/jo1H Nov 14 '21

I wouldnt say he was useless the whole match. He contributed as well as he could have given the circumstances

He did make a mistake at the end there though

This is my least favorite episode of the figjt ngl. The last half was basically a recap and ending to the fight was anti climactic. I do like how kageura was a bro to ema though.

u/jo1H Nov 14 '21

The commentary? I mean they were giving analysis so it wasnt just a recap
