That guy barely bailout, so he went to help main guy out.

Red team losing w. the two. The girl's memory talk (that means brother and father from Onegai! Ranking audition appearing.) Neighbor father not letting daughter w. them just because she affected her neighbor not doing well. Her family survived, but Neighbor's family didn't. She entered the team because neighbor joined.

It seems like the gun girl was able to learn megane guy's skill, too. She lost, though, and her enemy quit.

Red hair girl attacked megane guy first, then it's one vs. one. No, he left a wire and she was not able to attack another guy.

Edit:
Takumi Rindou, Originally by Keiji Fujiwara, will be voiced by Kenjirou Tsuda (who also voices Koskero). The character will appear in next ep.

Wow, I didn't expect the battle to end up as it did. I figured Chika would easily win her one on one and for it to be an easy win for their team, but the other two teams actually managed to make it a close match. Chika lost but forced her opponent to choose to bailout since she couldn't move from the lead bullets.

Kuga surviving his encounter from last episode wasn't a complete shock, though using that trion technique, scorpion, to close off his wound was a neat surprise, both for us and the spectators. Mikumo pulled off an amazing feat with his spiderweb and managed to take down two members of the pink team, which is pretty amazing. Though Yoko's near comeback was completely unexpected and epic. If it wasn't for some last second trap setting by Mikumo before bailing out, she might have even won the match.

World Trigger does a really good job of developing every character, even minor ones we might not see again. While the flashback of Yoko and Hana was longer than it needed to be, presumably to fill out the run time so the episode could end at the end of the match, it did a good job of portraying Yoko and Hana's relationship, and actually made me feel bad for Yoko when she ending up losing.

Another great episode. Keep them coming.

This episode was good. Kuga Yuma got one point and used Scorpion to seal up his wound so he would not bail out too early. Pretty good move. As for Mikumo he managed to get one of Yoko's team mates to bail out early. Then Yuma comes in for the offense. Then Mikumo takes out Yoko's other squad member. Chika got defeated by Teruya but forced her to bail out after hitting her with lead bullet hound. Yoko managed to take out Mikumo but unfornately did not foresee Mikumo using one last wire to block her attacking Kuma. Kuma uses a scorpion technique to take out Yoko. Episode ends. Wow. Looking forward to the next episode.

Pacing and animation are still fantastic, and loads of new soundtracks in the episode too.

Mikumu and Chika really grew this battle. Mikumu’s strategies and patience let him take out 2 people and Chika using hound + lead bullet was a smart move. The flashback for the girl on the other team was kind of abrupt, but I’m sure it will be good to know for down the road.

chikas hound with lead bullets would be a frightening combo if she comes to terms wit shooting people

No it does. She needs to earn points for her team so they can get to A rank so they can go on away missions

Actually she doesn't before Ninomiya squad was demoted to B-rank their sniper Hatohara also couldn't shoot people. She still contributed to the team via her support skills, though instead of Chika's lead bullets she just destroyed people's weapons to make them easier for her teammates to take down. And that was on an A-rank squad. Don't underestimate how effective supports can be.

Wow, is this real ? Osamu has gotten really strong.

Kuga is an ace as usual though.

IMO, the only weakness of Chika is actually being weak at close combat situation. Since she usually didn't have fast reaction like other chara. Therefore, i'm pretty sure she will be getting better and better

About the 'not shooting people' behaviour is really fine though. Otherwise, she will literally one shoot everyone in the combat, it is too op.

Also, with that amount of trion, i think Chika will actually able to make giant shield covering her 360º XD

Most surprising thing was they didn't censor hana's fingernails being torn off. The rare bloody moments in this series have impact contrasting all the bloodless violence of the trion fights so I'm glad that was kept.

Perfect episode. Osamu really killed it. He got 2 kills and set wires on her before he bailed out. Chika with the lead bullet hound was genius too.

Imagine what Hyuse can do for this team.

Couldn't Osamu and Kuga voluntarily bail out to deny Katori the points to win? Would've been a huge middle finger lmao

THIS EPISODE WAS FIRE!!! Tamakoma 2 pulled out all the stops. Yuma's creativity never fails to surprise me. Then we had Osamu with that save! Amazeballs. We can't forget Chika, Hound Lead Bullets was inspired. Such an amazing job and plan on their part. But MVP of this episode was Osamu, I really love the development of his character. He was no longer focused on just trying to get points and he analyzed the match, had a great reading of each of the other teams and their tactics, and supported his team like a pro. And because of that he was able to secure 2 points in the process. I wish that they didn't have that much focus on the flash back, but other than that this episode was sublime. The 3 episode battle span was great! Can't wait for the next episode. ( Also can't wait to see Hyuse join the team)

That backstory shows that everyone has a reason to be in Border and to climb to the top, but it doesn't make the the reason why you should win so easily.

What a way to conclude the fight, was thinking that it would a clean sweep, but after Chika and Osamu fell, it proves that they aren't close to perfect yet. Probably the part where Hyuse comes in.

Lead Hound, Chika can do anything XD. Thou too bad she was taken out.

Yoko's backstory was so so. Didn't make me like her character any better. She's still annoying.

The battle's finally over and Kuga was the only one who survived. Well done Mikumo kun, he did a great job supporting his team this entire battle.

I am not a Chika believer. I won't be until she shows an interest in testing her own limits.

Girl, get pissed off that you added some close range survival tech to your build and you still got killed.

- Talent plays significant role, but it can also be a limiter (in most cases), as in the case of KATORI.
- Last Moment Study can't beat the consistent Study.
- Btw, KUGA is much more talented than her.

KUGA's team won. Cheers!

Osamu taking people out was brilliant. Those wires really help him and his team out. Chika's getting more versatile with her lead bullets. And Kuga's just as creative as ever.

Katori is quite the tsundere. No wonder she has such a prickly personality. Hana's logic is kinda terrifying but I guess this freed her in some ways. Leave it to her to keep it cool while making hard decisions.

On another note, kinda miss the narrator and him saying Trigger On.

OSAMUUU!!!!!
That last part was so good followed by Yuma using Kageura's strategy to kill her in the end. I was hoping they would be able to kill that girl that was on the ground but sadly she managed to defeat Chika and bail out, still though, nice point for her, she deserved it.

Also I enjoyed this backstory, but omg, Katori is so dumb. If anything, that story made me like Hana more, not this brat whose whole family survived, was always annoying when she was little and never caring about anything because "I'm talented" yet she can't do anything against the actual good opponents here and then she says how much she hates Tamakoma2, for beating them, since their reasons are actually serious? All the fault is on her for never working with her team. I'm glad they got a point so her other 2 teammates won't feel so defeated since they were nice.

well it's nice to see chika isn't totally useless like she used to be

as for osamu, bro... so dumb. just standing there with his shield down? why? ridiculous. how was his shield able to withstand all the hits it took? how was he able to launch all those meteorite attacks? he runs out of trion after like 2 of them

it was good that tamakoma2 didn't just sweep the battle. they still have a lot to work on. yuma doesn't seem as strong this season

5/5, Youko-chan got reminded of why she joined border and why she's on Hana-san's team. While Hana constantly tried to learn, Youko keeps stopping short and not caring about anything. I feel like her frustration stacking up could potentially be a turning point. While she is a bitch, her 2 teammates do work with her for whatever reason. If she gives a genuine apology I see them rising from now on.

Osamu finally found his place, to be absolutely annoying. Youko-chan may have been skilled, but Osamu still achieved his mission. Yuma continueing to repetevily try out new things like scorpion stopping trion leak AND ACTUALLY SURVIVING?! and using the scorpion long range/whip attack effectively. While Chika still has a major problem, she is radically more of an asset now with long range anchors and if they close in, AOE anchors. I wonder if Black Lightning and Lightning count as two different triggers, I assumed Lightning and lead bullet were 2 separate triggers. In this case makes sense she has Black Asteroid, Black Lightning (just remembered the super hero), Ibis, Shield (the limit is 4 right? or is it 8? I thought it was 4).

Would be so bloody epic if Hyuse joins them for their next 2 matches, but don't see that happeneing, but we'll see. Jin has been earning more and more favor with HQ thanks to his side-effect, then also if #1 Border Agent Yotaro-sama endorses also, kind of hard to complain. Maybe it was in the ending, but in the opening it appears to show the team captains for this match, then team captains for next 2 matches. (I have been wrong with openings though, last opening I though Hyuse was going to have an away team with everyone below him, but it's just everyone below him was introduced/focused...)

@JizzyHitler Thank you for sharing, I assumed it was blood from her parents, now I know it was blood from trying to save [Youko] and it was because fingernails were ripped off from trying. It must have been too important not to censor, if they didn't include it would have more so looked like Hana just simply found and saved her friend by giving her a hand which is less impactful.
