just curious and don't know where to ask/put it so i just put it here.(if it's inappropriate i will delete it)

why everyone assume that t-2 can go to the expedition? hyuse join t-2 also make another posibility IMO. i mean there's possibility t-2 don't get selected for the expedition when chika go with the expedition team and leave yuma, osamu, and hyuse as fellow t-2 member.

yuma, osamu, and hyuse possibly can do what hatohara and rinji do. they can go to neighborhood by themself rely on hyuse and maybe yuma navigation because each of them has their own bussiness in neighborhood. and when on the way to afto, hyuse maybe willing to help osamu to raise his trion capability (or whatever it is to raise osamu value/skill) so they can arrive at afto faster and maybe meet chika there/on the way and maybe meet with rinji and hatohara eventhough the chance's almost impossible.

there's lack of something in this theory though. like there's no reason for hyuse to let osamu go with him. and also there's no vehicle to go to neighborhood except they go using wild gate like rinji and there's possibility that rinji and hatohara arrive at afto or one of afto vassal country or the other near nation at that time if Ashihara want to connect all past event IMO and as long as i can remember only near neighbor country can open the gate to earth. but i don't know which neighbor nation happen to be near earth when rinji and hatohara go into the gate + idk or maybe forgot when rinji and hatohara gone missing.

People assume that because it's the natural progression of the story. Rank Wars will end, the away mission has been built up to for 80 chapters now, with the more recent chapters adding even more build up than usual. Most of what we need to know about Border (tech and military structure, even basic history) and Earth's side we already got. There's no reason to keep the story stuck on this side.

Also there's no point to run away on their own even if they had the means to. There's nothing they can realistically achieve by doing that either. And they would have no where to go back to. Besides, if they are willing to break the rules and run off on their own then why wait for Border to decide whether they go or not, they could just run off from the get go instead of wasting precious time in rank wars.

It'd be pretty disappointing if T2 didn't get expedition. It'd be worse than Mikumo bailing out early in the Nino-Kage-Azuma-T2 match and worse than the Mikumo and Jin conversation after that battle.

(Assuming we arent a bunch of masochists...) I'm not sure the WT fan base can handle being disappointed again without some big victory first.

Ashihara deserves kudos for not writing a typical shonen instant-reward story..... buuuuuut we need this. And judging by Ashihara's fore-shadowing hints (i.e. the Kido conversation revealing more team possibilities) i think we're going to see it happen...

It felt like Mikumo was cheating his way to get on the expedition squad. He knew he wasn't strong enough to get there without help so he tried cornering Jin to use his strength.

Sigh, its a dead issue. I probably shouldn't have brought it up..

Sad news, as it's clearly something serious now.

I know previously things had been so bad that he'd considered ended the manga at chapter 85, but a change in medication and a few other things had alleviated he situation to a point where he could go on.

Have you guys seen Chippo's latest translation of WT fan event?
http://chippokenabokura.tumblr.com/post/153425744943/hi-so-i-saw-that-you-mentioned-in-the-post

Ashihara apparently prepared so much of the story for the animation staff, including A Rank War result from 1 year before the story started. Crazy level of planning! I guess Ashihara did mention that he had 3 years to plan for WT. I hope even if Ashihara wants to quit as an artist of WT due to his injuries, he'll remain for the story because he needs to make sure that story in his head doesn't go to waste.

So it's canon that Ninomiya did make snowmen in round 4, rather than just having those snowmen lying around (the map did have 1 snowman lying around IIRC) - too bad Toei decided not to make a filler of it. Also funny story from the producer that they had to hid the swimsuit episode from Jump until viewers rating came, because WT doesn't have fanservice and Jump might be angry to know that Toei made a fanservice episode. I'm glad that Jump cares about WT.

It's interesting to hear more about Saitou's relationship with Ashihara. A lot of people thought it would be problematic for him to take over, but it sounds like he meshes better than Baptiste did.

The spoiler has given rank 1-50, but still no scan, so take it with a grain of salt.

First things first, 14,433 votes received, which went down from 77,000+ from the first poll. This is because the rules change:
- only one vote for your favorite per postcard this time (before, it was 3 votes for your top 3 per postcard)
- the voting ticket has to be bought this time, by buying jump magazine during the announcement or vol 15. This is an unique rule compared to most popularity polls (IIRC Soma's and BnHA's polls that are running today doesn't have this rule). This will prevent incidents like last time when one Kazama's fangirl sent 1000 postcards and one Miwa's fangirl sent 500.
- the voting was at the end of round 5, so characters that got exposure around then should get a boost and Ouji team and Ikoma team have not shown up.

1. Osamu / 1498 - B ranked harraser 4-eyes
2. Konami / 1369 - Highschool girl (axe)
3. Jin / 883 - Predict, predict, walk
4. Yuuma / 775 - Tamakoma's white head
5. Izumi / 580 - Bullet idiot whose stock is rising
6. Kazama / 550 - his heart is always in growth spurt
7. Miwa / 433 - maturing siscon
8. Arafune / 402 - top popularity power of B rank
9. Azuma / 319 - First sniper
10. Hyuse / 318 - Tamakoma's hidden weapon
11. Chika / 314 - Trion monster
12. Tachikawa / 294 - Cleaved into 2
13. Katori / 292 - I'm a genius after all
14. Satori / 287 - Representative of freaky snipers
15. Nasu / 285 - weak girl (tomahawk) & Ninomiya / 285 - Bullet elite
17. Suwa / 264 - Gutsy gunner
18. Murakami / 245 - Top 5 with a pair of swords
19. Arashiyama / 236 - Fighting idol
20. Kikuchihara / 224 - No, no, ears, ears
21. Karasuma / 217 - (no snippets for rank 21 and below)
22. Yoneya / 200
23. Tokieda / 190
24. Inukai / 187
25. Kuruma / 186
26. Kageura / 183
27. Yuzuru / 181
28. Replica / 178
29. Amou / 177
30. Shinoda / 174
31. Kitora / 156
32. Usami / 148
33. Youtarou / 130
34. Narasaka / 117
35. Tsuji / 105
36. Reiji / 83
37. Nire / 78
38. Kuroe / 77 & Midorikawa / 77 - (what a coincidence that the kids get the same rank)
40. Kodera / 66
41. Teruya / 65
42. Touma / 64
43. Ashihara / 56
44. Hatohara / 52
45. Enedorad / 50 & Kumagai / 50
47. Rinji / 49
48. Kunichika / 48
49. Yuiga / 47
50. Hokari / 46

To compare see 1st poll here:
- The published version with all postcards received taken into account
http://worldtrigger.info/article/ranking1.php
- The version where multiple postcards from the same person got ruled out
http://worldtrigger.info/article/ranking2.php

Comments:
- Yuuma drops a lot, in the first poll, IIRC Ashihara said he had the most 1st position out of all characters
- Izumi and Arafune really have good staying power, despite not doing much
- I think Touma is too low
- Ayatsuji is not even in top 50 now. She was rank 15 back then. With the new rule, most operators got marginalized.
- Not a single Galopoula there, which is sad (I feel that this is where Ashihara jokes about making their second appearance goal of making strong impression). Also, no one from Afto there other than Hyuse (Enedoradd doesn't count) but this is understandable because it's been 2 years ago since they show up.

Whoa. Kitora dropped a LOT.

Probably because there are so many more characters to vote for now.

Replica is expected to drop since he's been MIA this whole time. I like all of the characters so I'm not really bothered by any drops, however I do like that Arafune and Azuma are in top 10 this time.

Edit: Also does Katori being in top 20 mean we will get her color design? :o

" Yuuma drops a lot, in the first poll, IIRC Ashihara said he had the most 1st position out of all characters"

This is false.

Ashihara explicitely states in volume 8 that "Osamu got the most votes for 'favorite character' by a huge margin" and that Yuma landed in second place because he has around the same as Osamu when combining 2nd favorite and favorite

So basically Yuma is a lot of people second favorite or something like that.

I had some back problems in past days and, also, my mother does have too - in a more chronic way.

It's not a deal as it seems to be. But the thing is, if you were not treating the issue frequently, you may suffer like if all the pain came out suddenly. I bet that in 1 more week he will be fine. Except if he does have some other issues to deal with.

There's no mention of WT's return date this week, so I'm assuming it won't be coming out next week too. And since next week is a double issue it won't be coming out the week after that too. At least 3 more weeks until we get WT. I still think he's gonna return only mid-January or early February.

Went up couple of notches beating even Magi. There's a fall of ~500k But considering how almost all the numbers have decreased, I'd say that WT did much better in terms of percentage fall.
