THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.
----------------------------------------
Raw is up and it seems the early spoiler is accurate. The chapter is dialogue heavy with some new country names, so I want to wait for the japanese raw/spoiler (usually in 12 hours) for the kana. There seems to be a lot of people doing chinese to english translation each week, so hopefully it'll be ok.

But anyway, dat Konami hug and dat Hyuse's clumsy attempt at holding chopstic XD.

EDIT: translation

Chapter title is Rindou Youtarou

Meeting:
- Shinoda kicks off the meeting by laying out the information from prisoner Enedora in the R&D: he predicted a new attack from the neighborhood. From the orbital map left by special advisor Replica, in near future, 3 planet states will approach to this world. According to Enedora, Garopura and Rodokuruun (see notes) are subordinates to Aftokrator. There are other estimation methods, but there's almost no time left before contact with the 2 states. Thus, this emergency meeting.
- Miwa asks if their objectives are trion users abduction like last time.
- Jin doesn't know. He has been loitering around on daytime in the past few days... but neither agents nor civilians show futures where they are kidnapped or killed.
- Fuyushima concludes that there's no attack. The crab bastard is just exaggerating.
- Asuma proposes that their objectives might not be human resources, like technology, information...
- Or prisoner's rescue or disposal, adds Kazama.
- Shinoda says that based on the data, the 2 states are not big, so covert missions are likely. Enedora also said that Aftokrator is going to instigate the vassal states but the raid method is not clear. Border will continue questioning Enedora but until Garopura and Rodokuruun go away, defense system will be added and special interception system will be laid out. We will discuss those topics after this, but first, Commander Kido has orders regarding them.
- Kido explains that as much as possible, the interception battles are done secretly from outsiders.
- Arashiyama asks for confirmation, so civilians won't be informed?
- Kido confirms. This is not long after the large scale invasion. If invaded again after just a short period, Kido fears that the civilians will panic again. Then the atmosphere against Border may strengthen and this might hinder the ongoing expedition-rescue plan. Of course this will depend on the enemy's action, but Kido is hoping that the enemy raid can be keep secret from the civilians.
- Kazama thinks that this will require secrecy within Border too.
- Correct, says Shinoda. The strategy will be communicated to as few B ranked agents as possible. Border will be operated as usual, so the defense mission and rank wars will continue as usual.
- Tachikawa complains that it'll be hard without Jin's prediction.
- But at least, the fact that no one seems to die makes you at ease, no? says Jin.
- Kazama says that not knowing the enemy's objective is a pain.
- Kido summarizes that for the time being, Border will put aside the chance of another large scale raid. A rank will be the center for looking out and intercepting. Kako team, who is on defense mission, and Kusakabe and Katagiri (A-8) teams, who are scouting in other prefectures and will be back soon, will be similarly informed.
- Azuma adds that to do this in small teams, they need Amou's power.
- Fuyushima and Tachikawa are confused, Amou is bad at cover ops.
- Azuma answers that they need Amou's SE. Ooooh, says the other 2.
- Shinoda will call for Amou.
- Kido concludes that the next operation hinges on Jin's prediction so work hard. Jin replies, of course. Can't let the expedition plan gets crushed.

Tamakoma HQ
- Konami, hearing that Osamu scouted Jin, is appalled. "How could you think of cheating!" She adds that just because Osamu lost, don't try to do it the easy way.
- Osamu wants to deny that that's not his intention... but probably the awkwardness of the hug stops him.
- Youtarou thinks that Konami is trying to console Osamu...
- Reiji defends that Osamu's way of thinking is not wrong. Increasing the number of strong pawns is a solid tactics. But Osamu is rushing it. What happens?
- Osamu thinks that for the sake of the team, just being strong himself is not enough. Someone told him that there are other things that he should do. From these other things, the biggest one will be (asking) Jin.
- Konami asks what Osamu will do after Jin's rejection.
- Well, Osamu will continue training, devise new strategy for two to three people, revise the protocol from match start to rendezvous, and next, trying out different combinations of triggers with Usami-sempai's help.
- Konami offers Reiji's help for the last one. Reiji pushes that back to Konami, "YOU do it." Konami is bad with machines, so she can't.
- Well, thanks for the thought, says Osamu. Oh BTW, Jin said that there's a more suitable person for T-2... any idea?
- Errr, someone strong, free, and knowledgeable? Does someone like that exist? asks Konami. Can't be someone from outside, adds Reiji. Youtarou cuts: sigh... can't you tell? He should be Hyuse. Hyuse is a capable fellow, no? Youtarou has been training him. "Stop leaning on me" says Hyuse nonchallantly
- Osamu recalls Jin saying that it's unclear whether this person will join. Is that hinting on Hyuse!?
- Hyuse realizes that the "bet" was for this. Youtarou explains to the uninitiated that yesterday, they bet on T-2 victory. The loser had to comply to the winner's wish. Jin bet on T-2 victory and so was Youtarou with his snack.
- Osamu gets more confused ... "bet with snack..." Youtarou cuts in, it's the past.
- Hyuse adds that if you all had won, maybe Jin would have asked him to join Tamakoma. But unfortunately, I have no intention to cooperate with you all.
- Konami scoffs, how pompous. There's no way HQ will allow that to begin with. It's 100% impossible for you to join and aim to become the expedition team. Those are the very reasons Hyuse said no earlier.
- Reiji thinks to himself, maybe if Hyuse is going to be taken to prisoners' exchange negotiation... no, even in that case, there's no way Hyuse will be put into a team.
- Osamu is APPALLED. Letting one neighbor who targeted Chika in the team...? That's screwed up...! But...

Yuuma and Chika drop in
- Chika tells Osamu that they are going to HQ. Yuuma adds Chika is going to Sniper joint training. He's being called by Kinuta.
- Wait, Osamu wants to go too. Thanks for the food, Reiji-san.
- Reiji replies, be careful.
- Afterwards, Konami asks what Hyuse asked for as his prize. Youtarou answers that Hyuse has not used it. Jin is fishy. Konami agrees.

Car
- Osamu recalls Jin saying that his strong point is thinking of ways without caring about his appearance. Osamu still thinks that it's messed up, but JIN left that clue. He can't just decide without checking things out first.

Lab
- The fat engineer and Enedorad are watching movie on big screen while snacking (the engineer on food, Enedorad on trion, LOL).

Translation notes:
- So, can anyone good at Greek or Latin help with the names?

Comments:
- Special advisor replica.... so much respect... it feels like replica died and got double promoted. ;_;
- Bailout technology might be lucrative for Afto. I can imagine them developing tech to counter it if they can get a hand on it during this covert op.
- It does seem that Afto needs to keep the vassal states busy for some purpose. So Hyuse might be the trigger.
- So the next match should be in 2 days. T-2 should go back and focus on that soon. 1 day is already wasted.
- Hyuse being a slow eater because of chopstick problem is adorable. At least he's upgraded from basement to the dining room during meals.
- Amou's SE might be friend or foe identification through colors. So enemies can't blend in.
- Osamu brings a good point. If Osamu is already uncomfortable with Hyuse, how will Chika react? I hope this will lead to the team communication that is long overdue.
- Excited for World Tri-Gear Solid: Special OPs featuring all A ranks XD? I can't be the only one.

Anyway it looks like Osamu will have to to find some incredible reason to get Hyuse to join his team as Border and Hyuse himself are against it. Or Osamu will ask someone else to join. I'm hoping it's Yuiga..

Plz not Yuiga. Also, yes, if Hyuse wants to get even with the neighbors, he'll need to be acknowledged by Border at some point. Joining Osamu's team would certainly be a possibility, and I think Osamu would find the words to convince him. Border, on the other hand...Kuga was one thing, Hyuse quite another, but I guess it will happen.

Now, if he joins, does that mean there's no more operator?

Why would they lose their operator? Teams can consist of 1-4 combatants and an operator.

Isn't the operator part of the 4? I haven't seen many 5-member units around. I'll need to reread to be sure, though.

Arashiyama and Miwa's units are 4 combatants + operator.

Having operators is a must for Border agents. Forget rank wars, if they go into battle without an operator they're toast.

Thank you!

Part of me feels like... If it's to get the team "stronger" and get to A-rank, Chika actually might accept it? Perhaps a little reluctantly, but I do think they'd need to talk it out, if it comes to that possibility.

I wonder what Osamu is thinking of doing? ...Couldn't be something like going to Shinoda or Kido and asking to join the expedition, right??? That'd be too far in ignoring his appearances, right?

And finally, some more Amou? Lol Amou only gets screentime during invasions huh...
Edit: Thinking about it, isn't it kind of odd to refer to Amou and his SE has something different? Like a separate entity? I don't think this right, but I just thought that it was kind of odd, though I think I'm influenced by all the art of him with a little monster BT thingy chasing after him.

It strongly looks like Hyuse is going to be the 4th member of T-2, but there's a lot of work to do to make that plausible.

My guess would be that the two vassal states try to get Hyuse to steal triggers for them, and he refuses.

So Hyuse really seems to be the 4th member (still not engraved in stone), i'm disappointed because i really expected a less predictable choice, but at the same time i'm curious to see how they can get him to join Border and Tamakoma!

At least this will be interesting!

And now there are 2 A-rank squad that are a mistery for us!
I think the girl who was with Katagiri in the early chapter is probably part of his team (if he turns out to be the captain)!
Can't wait to see them and Kusakabe!

A-rank battles are probably really awesome, i really want to see that! (the last 4 way battle was already great)

Not just a movie, they are watching "The Terminator 2" (am i the only one who recognised it right away) which is, for some reason, absolutely hilarious for me.

I may have overreacted in my previos post about this but i still think it is awesome.
Simply because Enedora was somewhat akin to T-1000 (liquid metal and stuff... )

Is no one as uncomfortable about this as me???
Maybe I'm just attached to osamus awkward fighting style but I don't know how I feel about him using new triggers. This may be a chance for us to see new unique and/or optional triggers but anything other than that would feel desperate. I really don't think osamu should be changing things so late into the rank wars.

Osamus current combination with raygust and asteroid fits his personality in my opinion and I dont think I've seen anyone else use a similar one(maybe miwa?) so its pretty unique. I was hoping to see him get really creative with them...

If its just passive or mobile triggers like grasshopper then Im all for it though.

Nah grasshopper won't help him much. Especially since he lacks experience, his moves would be predictable as hell. Besides that I think grasshopper should only be used by shorter characters xD

Anyway changing his style will only give him a couple unexpected moves, but with his low trion ability and lack of experience I don't think he can improve that much.

Imo the only way he can get stronger (right now) is if he gets a custom Trigger that suits his abilities/style and complements it. But there's no way something like that will suddenly show up. Anyway point is I'm not expecting Osamu to improve anytime soon, because he's lacking in a lot of areas.

What I want to happen is for Chika to start using more Triggers instead of just being an artillery canon. Maybe Kogetsu Arafune style? Scorpion is a good option too. Or a shooting trigger or some traps. Her current style is a massive waste of her Trion ability.

On a side note: Jin and Border Engineers did come up with "scorpion" and now it is a standard issue weapon which is allowed in the Rank Wars. It is possible for Osamu to (eventually) invent (with help of Border Engineers) some kind of trigger suitable for those with low trion levels (like himself), and get it approved by Higher-ups and included as an "allowed weapon". Surely not in nearest fututre, but just a possibility for further growth.

Yeah I definitely can see this happening, and actually I really want to see this. But if he wants to go on the upcoming expedition to the neighborhood he needs to get this hypothetical Trigger before the next match which is... Impossible.

And again he still lacks experience. Tbh I don't think Osamu should go on the upcoming away mission. He needs more time not just to improve, but for Chika to improve as well and whoever the 4th member will be, they need to get used to be working together as a squad. There are a lot of obstacles.

I too think Chika needs an additional trigger! Actually Osamu too, it's a really good idea for him to look for new triggers combinations.
I'd love if both of them had an optional trigger as their "go to trigger".
The same way Yuma has the Grasshopper, and i think Osamu and Chika need something like that too!

Chika with her enormous Trion should be able to use different ones, i think of one since the BT retrieval arc it's the teleportation Trigger (the one Arashiyama used).
With it after she shot Chika could move really fast and so escape the retaliation once her spot has been find out!
If i'm not mistaken this trigger allows you to teleport as far as you can see, so it's pretty useful, and i think Chika would be wise to train with this trigger.

For Osamu i don't really know, his trion ability prevent him to have a lot of combination.
Chameleon is out of question as it uses a lot of trion (but it would have been great for him), Grasshopper is Yuma's and i don't see Osamu teleport.
So i really hope there are 1 or 2 optional trigger that we haven't see yet that Osamu could grow to master!

Osamu already has Thruster which is pretty decent if used wisely.
But again unless Osamu solves his trion problem I'm not interested in seeing him use more variations because nothing will change overall <.<

But yeah Chika can use a lot of different things. Imagine teleporting in complex terrain to go out of the enemy's line of sight then using chameleon. She will have more options as a sniper.

I think Osamu should add more variety for his attacks... maybe a new bullet... meteor or hound... I know that Osamu hasn't mastered asteirod yet... but one of this new bullet (maybe even both) would be good for Osamu's general ability... besides the composed bullets...
Hound would be better maybe... since he can create some traps with them...

And no lead bullet aren't useful for sniper so what's the point!
OP = over powered.
I know; it was just a joke.

I think Osamu should add more variety for his attacks... maybe a new bullet... meteor or hound... I know that Osamu hasn't mastered asteirod yet... but one of this new bullet (maybe even both) would be good for Osamu's general ability... besides the composed bullets...
Hound would be better maybe... since he can create some traps with them...
Meteor might not be that strong with his trion, so yeah hound is probably the better option.

Well, at least in given context, that is.

It also could stand for Original Poster (which referes to person who created the post i.e. post author) and buch other stuff depending on the context and a subculture


Ok thank you!

Back to the topic, the last thing i see for Osamu would be to become Trapper once Hyuse join (and Hyuse will be at shooter position).
But we still don't know what Trapper actually does (apart setting traps) and if they have special trigger for that position

Maybe stuff like Kuga's BT? You know, chains and stuff.

We've also seen meteor traps with steel wires, as well as instant teleportation (not exactly a trap but hey...).

Considering she's aware of her problem (so are her teammates and senpais), and that she already took a step in the right direction, it's safe to assume she will get over it sooner or later. But there haven't been any hints that she'll try to improve in other ways.

Yeah, I think we should see others optional triggers soon.
IIRC, a Trigger has 8 slots for optional triggers and browsing the wikia I found that until now 13 optional triggers appeared (2 of them are Tamakoma-2 exclusives).

Starmaker seems fit Osamu's personality and low trion capacity, but we still don't know that much about this trigger.

Ashihara-sensei must be holding some optional triggers into his bag-of-future-surprises xD

Interesting....so a neighbor country can have vassal states kinda like a moon rotating around the earth hmmm....
I'm expecting someone from these Aftokrator's vassal states to come and search/accidentally meets Hyuse....and tell him about the real reason why he was abandoned making Hyuse wants to go back... Hmm....I wanna see his reaction...

I think it will be really nice to see Chika uses other triggers. Like what Jin said, to have variety is important. She can learn to use other snipers aside of Ibis or even learn to use shooter/gunner triggers.

Maybe that reason will make Huyse join T2, but i like a new character join T2, how about a half man half machine who being pursuit by enemy in next invasion?

About Chika, because of her trion, every trigger become black trigger in terms of power. Heck, what if she use Meteora, or full attack hound like last rank battle, forget about shield, RUN! Someone with high trion level (i.e. Chika) would be able to use scorpion like a fullbody armor. ( i wasn't make up about it, FACT that she can) or Kogetsu, it will cut though anything, lol. She need times to learn, and her SE, we only know Chika have two SE.

I don't know, I feel like Hyuse already knows the reason why he was left behind? Maybe he's not 100% sure, but I get the feeling that when he reacted towards Jin's words, Hyuse knew there was a possibility for it. So he's got to know at least something, but someone could confirm it for him. But I think it'd be hard to run into him, considering that Hyuse is pretty much stuck within Tamakoma HQ? At least he's upgraded to eating in the living room with them. I'm still wondering if he's too stubborn to ask how to use chopsticks properly.

I think Chippo made a post about it before? But from what I remember, it seems kind of like you need an operator's help for it? It's kind of like hound in which you pinpoint a target, right? At that point, he'd might as well use hound, right?

The idea of new optional triggers could be cool, but I'm in the boat of "Osamu needs to learn how to use what he has atm" before getting something new. Like maybe a little more skill with Raygust? But I think in the end, he and Chika need to up their basic movements. The fact that Inukai and etc could chase them down so easily is partly due to their lack of mobility skill. I also found it really interesting how Inukai changed the shape of his shield to fit his gun, so he could shoot and have a shield at the same time.
Though Chika should totally use Teleport. My headcanon for Fuyushima Squad is that they use Teleport so Touma can instantly move from place to place and snipe people down without being found. So imo, Teleport + sniping could potentially be really good if you can teleport far enough without others seeing where you went (your line of sight). And Chika needs to improve her aim a bit more, but she'll reach that point sooner or later.

Btw, did anyone else wonder why they didn't bother getting more chairs for the meeting? I mean, they had Azuma and Fuyushima standing and it's kind of odd or awkward lol. And they're not even the youngest people in the room.

Imo the only way he can get stronger (right now) is if he gets a custom Trigger that suits his abilities/style and complements it. But there's no way something like that will suddenly show up. Anyway point is I'm not expecting Osamu to improve anytime soon, because he's lacking in a lot of areas.


I don't think custom trigger or even BT is a viable solution right now. The problem with Osamu right now is not firepower NOR trion. Osamu is never drained IN battles - battles usually end before he's drained. His problem is that his BASIC skill is bad. It'll be like giving a baby, who has just recently learned how to walk and still cannot run, a weapon. Once this is fixed, say, he reaches 7000+ custom trigger will be a good upgrade.

BUT I still believe that BT is NOT good even at 7000+ point. Don't forget, BT doesn't allow you to equip optional trigger like SHIELD, bagworm, and other stuff. While powerful, BT is actually hard to use, especially if you're unlucky like Jin, whose BT doesn't help much with shielding. Miwa returned the BT because of this lack of optionality - it must have been tough for Miwa, who is really good at shielding and reliant on it, to suddenly lose that option. Perhaps at 9000+ Osamu will be ready for BT.

That said, I support Osamu tinkering with new combination of triggers. I agree that in general, testing new combat triggers when the next match is in 2 days is a bad choice, BUT, there are combinations that can help Osamu without screwing with his current training, like meteora and wire (to make traps like Reiji did to Hyuse). If Osamu is going to be more passive in the upcoming matches (more bagworm, less solo), then he'll have time to make traps. Then he can undo his bagworm and lure the opponents to them.

A-rank battles are probably really awesome, i really want to see that! (the last 4 way battle was already great)


I don't want battles. I want cover ops with plenty of cloaking and back stabbing Team Fortress 2 style. With trion bodies, agents can disguise themselves like neighbors who pretend to be border agents XD. Some agent should program his trion body to look like Hyuse... That'll be funny.

IIRC usually chippokenabokura updates the wiki. I suppose she is correct.

Triggerman said:

Lead bullet doesn't kill and cannot be shielded. It's perfect for Chika, who cannot kill, when she is about to be captured. But she's still screwed if her pursuer is not CQC type because it's slow and has to be shot at short range. It's trion intensive but Chika can spam it.

Not just a movie, they are watching "The Terminator 2" (am i the only one who recognised it right away) which is, for some reason, absolutely hilarious for me.

I may have overreacted in my previos post about this but i still think it is awesome.
Simply because Enedora was somewhat akin to T-1000 (liquid metal and stuff... )


I suspected that it was Terminator, but I was not sure. Too funny XD.

As someone pointed out earlier, she already has problems attacking people. So shooting/attacker main Triggers should wait for now.

But there's no reason for her to not use defensive or mobility Triggers. Seriously, all her Trion for Ibis and Bagworm? <.<

I'm aware of that, which is why I said it's impossible to happen atm. But it might happen later on. Though I didn't say anything about BTs.

And yes like I said, Osamu is lacking in a lot of areas. But he can improve his basic skills and movements, however his Trion ability will still hold him back. So, eventually, Osamu will need either a custom Trigger OR a completely new and unorthodox style for shooters. Either one is fine with me tbh, both would be great.
The reason he never runs out of Trion is because he's too passive. 7000 for custom Trigger sounds like fair game, if he does get one I wonder what kind of Trigger will the author have in store.

I'm not even expecting Osamu to get a BT ever actually xD
Maybe when we reach 300-500 or so chapters, but yeah I don't see a reason for him to become S-Rank yet (besides, a huge part of the charm in this series is how it's the complete opposite of all other battle shounens; the main protagonist is one of the weaker characters and is surrounded by far stronger ones, both enemies and friends). Besides, if he does Mikumo squad will probably disband since Kuga might decide to go S-rank with Osamu leaving only Chika behind.

But yeah Osamu and BT don't mix, not even if he reaches 9000 xD

Anyway, I agree with everything you said about BTs; they're extremely powerful and have very unique skills, but they aren't as versatile as Normal Triggers and once their trick is revealed it's possible to come up with a few plans to defeat them. The only exception (thus far) might be Yuma's BT, as he can copy certain Triggers like he did with Lead Bullet.

As for Fujin, it's really high fire power so it's a very situation-dependent weapon. But that's also why Jin is the best one suited to wield it (Jin's SE replaces defense/shields).

Traps sound cool considering his current skills, so I think it's okay if he starts experimenting with them in the next match.

But trying out Grasshopper/Chameleon/etc when he hasn't yet mastered Raygust/Thruster would be jumping the gun imo.

It's not perfect at all for snipers in general (so Chika included) because as you say it has to be shot at short range, and it is a really slow bullet so snipers really don't need this kind of bullet!
There's already a slow bullet trigger for sniper it's Ibis!

If she's about to be captured it's better for her to teleport or use Chameleon to disappear than to try to slow down her opponent!
Or even set a trap with meteora or something like this.

I just went back and checked, chapter 16 implies that Kuga's Trigger does indeed have the ability to copy other abilities. Of course that is just Miwa's monologue and he could be wrong. In chapter 15 Replica only gave Kuga the name of the seal he has to use (Anchor).

Dunno if it has been revealed elsewhere what Kuga's BT is actually capable of, but this is what we have to work with I guess.

Actually, I'm not sure if Yuuma has mentioned it himself? I think I'd be surprised if it turns out that his BT/Yuugo is not a copycat one, but something else like a programming one or something. I think Chippo mentioned this before, but Yuuma is good at learning triggers as well. Like how he used Kageura's Scoripon-whip move; hasn't been implied if anyone else can/has used it the same way before and Kageura was surprised that Yuuma did it.

I think most of us are still confused on what Replica can do in relation to Yuuma's BT. He was around before the BT, yet it seems like he ups what Yuuma's BT can do. Such as making it easier to copy and create moves. I guess after 4 years, they figured out how to integrate him into the BT system?

Nah what Replica mostly does is help Yuma by creating seals so they can use complex attacks faster. Remember in the invasion arc when he helped Osamu with Boost Double? It's something similar; instead of Kuga activating both Boost Double and Bolt (for example), he'd only need to activate Bolt and Replica takes care of Boost.

Kuga's BT is probably, as chapter 16 suggests, to copy/learn other Trigger abilities and use them with many times their original power. He probably can't learn Black Trigger abilities though, but we'll see.
We still don't know what his BT is even called so I'm sure we'll get more specific details on it at some point.

After going back to double check, there's 3 states that are getting closer. We know 2 are Aftokrator's vassals, but there's nothing about the 3rd one. Is it possible that the 3rd one is the one that will contact Miden? Or is that unlikely, judging by the focus on these vassal states?

Well he did help Yuma with attack patterns. Viza mentioned his attacks became more predictable when Replica's main body went to help Osamu.
