| Not going to lie, watching Chika's mental state and fear of her past really was disheartening. The episode took on a more psychological approach to her character, something that I actually think they've done well. It made me invest into her character more. |
 |
| Hyuse activated Chika's fears and disturbed mental state due to her backstory with the neighbor and how she doesn't want to be selfish and be ready to shoot so they won't reproach her to not do it, it's understandable how she thinks and they did it right for us to understand perfectly I would say, that was sure a good development for Chika |
 |
| I can really relate with Chika regarding her reason for not wanting to shoot people. She is just super self-conscious about what others will think of her for doing so with various reasonings. If I was in her shoes, I might have acted in a similar fashion, though perhaps not exactly to the same degree. There wasn't much ground covered this episodes, but we got needed details on what was going on with Chika, and this episode succeeded perfectly in regards to that. The animation style of the show limited the effectiveness of the emotions that they could put on display from Chika's face, but it was still really well done. I assume that the next battle will start at the very end of the next episode, so there will probably be a lot of strategizing next episode. The pacing has been mostly decent so far, so hopefully it stays true for the rest of the series. |

I normally watch dubbed, and when I do, I don't bother posting since it's already at least a month after the episode aired subbed. But whenever there is a show that I do watch the sub for, more often than not, I post for each episode. anime-prime said: I haven't seen you comment on episode posts for a while lolI can really relate with Chika regarding her reason for not wanting to shoot people.

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| This episode was really nice. Aside from the other stuff with the BBQ and the others. The strategy meeting later on comes into action. Hyuse really did a number on Chika's mental state of the mind, but he does bring up good points/facts without much evidence. However Hyuse brings in a what if scenario with Osamu and Yuma that can change things around. I mean Chika we all know that he cannot shoot people. But there is another reason behind it. She had a friend that believed her, but she ended up missing. But she is afraid of being blamed for many things. Either that, she can also is afraid of being in the spotlight of attention and people can end up talking bad/smack, or behind her back for it because of what she did or what she can do. However, with the help of Renji and Usami she manages to calm down a bit. Now Chika goes to Hyuse and Yotaro and going into action once more. Can't wait for the next episode. And the next and final round of B-rank wars is going to be exciting. X3 |
| One of the things I really like about World Trigger in general is how it's usually very straightforward and battle-focused, but it's also really nice to get a more emotional episode every once in a while. Great episode overall! |
  "Truth is always a cruel thing." |
| This was a good episode. Not that Chika experienced childhood trauma, but how she explained it and how they handle it. Unresolved trauma can drive a person's whole life; Chika even mentioned that it causes her to overachieve (not in so many words, but she said she tries as hard as she can to avoid receiving blame). Compare to how common it is for children who experience divorce to blame themselves for that divorce. |
| I think this series takes itself too seriously at times with all the dramatic music and character reactions. Tbh, I still don’t think Chika’s reasoning for not shooting people makes sense, but I’m happy as long as she moves past it. |
| Is good episode when is focused on one of the MC squad, not the blabbering of other squads. But when is Chika focused is great. On one side was very sad the exploration of Chika psychology and reasoning, but on another side Chika expressions where so great that could make a meme template. |
 |
| I really like Chika as a character but I think her reasoning is kind of weak? Not entirely sure if I really get her "I-am-scared-of-being-blamed" logic but maybe there are really some rare characters like that. But at least, it seems like she will be able to move forward now with a new resolve. All thanks to Hyuse's straightforward attack! hahahahha. I really like his bluntness & direct approach in everything. |
| Good to know Chika's reason for not being able to shoot and nice she finally resolved herself to be able to do it, good job Hyuse kun. Also Konami was adorable. |
 |
| I can't wait to see the people's expressions when Chika shoots to kill(more like destroy). |
| Hyuse seems to be the catalyst for T-2 to step their game up. I hope it doesn't take the possibility of losing another friend for Chika to break her barriers. Funny, I thought the same a couple of weeks ago. lol |

| Iirc, there were quite a lot of people who also thought Chika's real reasoning for being unable to shoot people was either weak or hard to believe when the manga chapter came out. And I suppose that's understandable, because that way of thinking is very extreme. I can personally relate to her, and I loved this revelation about Chika and the vulnerability she displayed in this episode. While not exactly in the same shoes, I liken her feelings of being scared of being blamed similar to me being a people pleaser. Like anime-prime said, she is very self-conscious, and in turn, she acts in ways to relieve her fears, which she believes to be selfish. Viewing as a third person, I agree with Usami that it's normal that people act out of their own self-interest. But I can connect with how Chika views of herself, how she is ashamed of the reason she is unable (or not allowing herself) to shoot at others. She doesn't think of herself as a good person, and it's really scary to admit that. I think for people who cannot relate, it's sort of like, what's the big deal? But it really is a big deal for people who care a lot about what others think of them. Hyuse wasn't exactly tactful in the way he confronted Chika, but him making Chika realize that her inability to shoot could cause harm to Osamu and Yuuma was the right call. Unfortunately he couldn't say in a way that wouldn't trigger a panic attack... Now, Chika understands the stakes, and she's moving forward to change herself and be even more of a help to her team. Serious talk aside, Tsuji was so cute, haha. He usually looks so cool in his team outfit, but it's surprising to see that he's not good with girls. Even funnier when he is impressed by Osamu being able to dine with three girls :'D Inukai is also great at extracting information so nonchalantly, haha. |
| I really liked this episode, it was one of the best I seen for the series hands down, we finally reach the bottom of why Chika is afraid to shoot, hopefully she can find a good reason to so their team can safely go on the expedition. |

Banga192 said: I don't understand Chika's fears. How could she be blamed for Aoba's disappearance? People could've said "Aoba was abducted because Chika told her about neighbors" or "Aoba was abducted because she was always around Chika, the neighbor was after Chika but took her instead". Banga192 said: Also, how could she be blamed for doing something normal as a sniper? A thing everyone expects her to do? She thinks her massive Trion and ridiculous canon shots could've made some of her team's opponents complain about how unfair it is, become jealous or dislike her. She didn't want to stand out in that way and have other people's hostility and shit talking to be directed at her. That said, this is the mind of a 14 year old girl, I think the drama and characterization is handled fairly well but I personally don't relate to this way of thinking. |

Tbh, I still don’t think Chika’s reasoning for not shooting people makes sense, but I’m happy as long as she moves past it. I agree. This shows works best when it is a tactical show about battles. The character stuff always seems to drag on. |
| Hyuse confronted Chika about the exact scenario I was thinking of and I too was sure that she will shoot if the lives of her dear comrades is in danger. So whether she shoots or not, she's going to get self conscious anyway, so I believe it's better to make full use of her abilities for the sake of her friends and it's good to see she found that resolve here in this episode. On a different note, it's my first time I see different kinds of mods on an episode forum. And I'm glad it's about WT, haha. |
 |
| Nice episode overall, also I feel Chika got a little stronger. I want to see her answer to Hyuse too. (So much mod comments here lol) |
| i love chika and her character development !! |
| Best episode of World Trigger in a while. Finally some Chika development. |
| I do get what Chika's saying, but I loved the way Hyuse said it there. They will die if you won't be able to shoot the humanoid neighbors. But if Chika will be able to actually shoot, then Tamakoma2 will have a really good chance. Osamu's still useless though. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| YAY Chika Bomber all the way! Theory: Feeling of public guilty is a multiplier of Trigger. That would explain Chika, lol. |

| Finally, a character development for Chika. It took too long, quite so. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
