----------------------------------------
Mm so more fighting between the two teams and strategy analysis. Some parts of it felt slow tbh although I don't mind with the background story with Nasu Unit.

The Nasu Unit are actually quite impressive now that I think about it a bit. Hell even Yoma is struggling. Those girls on the Nasu Unit earned my respect though for their determination and will to be united.

That was a good episode and an even better cliffhanger. Really hoping Osamu goes to town in these last few episodes.

Aww, after all that buildup I was kinda hoping that Akane and the rest of team Nasu would do a bit better.

Still, in a way it's kinda refreshing to see an anime that focuses on tactics and abilities rather than spirit. (I'm looking at you, most shounen animes.)

Snipers are screwed when their positions are found and someone is capable of chasing you down before you can hide again. Akane actually did a good job setting traps like that to slow her opponent down, but alas her opponent was Yuma. At least she got the rest of his arm.

So it was true. Shimazaki-san's character... didn't know he got left behind...

The otaku-shi sniper girl, who doesn't want to miss a last chance to fight together, lost to neighbor guy.

lol @ FukuJun's character keeps joking and Kugimiya-san's character keeps getting tricked.

The female attacker wanted to win, but the opponent is too strong.

Neighbor guy vs. that guy (for real).

Chibi explanation on bail out with the sniper girl and neighbor guy.

More action with the B-rank wars. I felt bad for Nasu squad after seeing their little flashbacks, especially Akane since she's leaving soon.

Not gonna lie, the way Yuma took out Akane was pretty badass. Him against Murakami should be good.

And I love it when Kyousuke trolls Konami. The rocket launcher lie he told her was ridiculous lol.

Nasu Squad had great teamwork and I liked Kumagai in particular, but honestly what I've really been waiting for is Yuuma vs Murakami.
Yuma seemed very confident so I'm sure he has something planned. I wonder how he's going to beat Murakami's side effect.

Episode 45: The Thing That Decides the Battle Poor Hyuse. Mocked by Konami and tricked by Torimaru. Nasu x Kuma?! Toei sure is listening to fanbase :3. Best part of the episode is when the bgm started playing around 08:30. Yuuma vs Akane was intense. Murakami vs Yuuma next episode, plus Nasu's b-cage.

more detailed backstory on nasu team.
but strangely, the flaskback nasu team not supported this team to win like shounen anime-style.

overall, the west side battle is satisfying. I wonder how the east side battle progressing.

Hyuse's "WTF" face when he was trolled by Karasuma "It's a lie" that he was called an elite by Jin was hilarious XD

Konami's trust in others is so cute. She's so naive it's adorable. Keeps getting trolled.

Nasu squad are really nice girls. Like them all now, feel bad but Yuma and Ko are just on another level.

Love that Kuga stayed. This should be great.

Still waiting to see what Ksamu and Chika will do. PV seems hype!

SEE!! This is why i loooove World Trigger! Spirit only makes a difference in battle between 2 opponents of Equal Skills. I love Kei's commentary = Beautiful pride and respect for kouhai.
But i really do feel bad for Nasu squad, having your last dreams crushed is .......sad.

HYUSE ON THE COUCH. XD I didn't think there were enough eps left to show what happened to Hyuse but yay for that! Also, more please! FukuJun is always amazing and was especially funny here, hehe. XD

Loving the action. Nasu Unit held strong to the end (and beyond! loved the bomb planted on dropped weapon!). How amazing when Kuga threw his dismembered arm into the view of her scope!!! Awesome. ITA with others re: skill over spirit (esp with shounen titles) - it's refreshing to see a more realistic portrayal of those two forces. Skill dominates in World Trigger. It's not to say spirit doesn't matter. Spirit can matter when opponents are equally matched with the exception that one has more spirit than the other. It may take them further in critical moments. Psyched for next week's ep!

Still slowly reading the manga but I keep peeking at the Aftokrator arc bc it's my favorite. *can't help myself* XD I'm really enjoying the manga so far though!

Murakami doesn't have a smug elite attitude. He actively acknowledged Yuma was a strong opponent and didn't want to fight him again 1v1 if it were possible. If you want to see someone with an elitist attitude wait for right after this match ends.

I kind of feel bad for the defeated Nasu squad members, Kuma put up a fight though and it was entertaining to watch. I have to agree with what Tachikawa said as well.

Next time will be Yuma vs Murakami and hopefully it’ll be awesome!!

This episode relied a lot on commentary and flashback sequences, and not as much on the action. I know this is very similar to the pacing in the manga, so it's not the anime's fault. But having Hyuse being included as part of the "armchair commentary" is a nice touch, in order to get a Neighbor's viewpoint on what's happening. I got annoyed with Karasuma lying to Konami not just once, but twice, during the episode. I find that this gag with Karasuma and Konami tends to work best in small doses.

That part cracked me up haha.

It's sad that Nasu team already lost two people, but I did enjoy watching Kumagai and Akane fight with all they've got. Tachikawa's comment about if spirit dictated who will be on top, then he wouldn't be where he is was also quite funny, though. Looking forward to seeing the fight between Yuuma and Murakami.

Both girls fight well, if they meet Nasu then they would win this rank battle. Thanks to someone sinister (I look at you Osamu) destroy their dreams. Yuuma finish sniper girls quite bad ass.

Integrating a sad story in the plot? Lol. Glad Akane and Kuma put up a fight though.

Konami getting tricked is getting old now when its happening every episode instead of once in a while.

Time for Yuma to own Ko.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

Sorry Nasu squad it's not about spirit according to Tachikawa, he might be an obnoxious No.1 as Jin says but he might be actually right, unless this is DBZ! LOL

Let's see how much sleeping Murakami got to beat Kuga. XD
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

Im rooting for the Nasu unit. So I hope their ace will be able to beat the other teams. I dont really like tamakoma-2 winning all the way cause it makes the other supporting characters too weak. But i guess its ok if yuma wins cause he have the experience and skills but those others winning against nasu's ace will be frustrating i guess cause the gap between skills is too much.


-And I hate how mikumo become too strong now, he cant even beat a single trion before. I guess its plot armor.

Can't help but feel sorry for team Nasu and how they're getting fucked, even tho they put up a decent fight.

I agree, like i don't really see the point of them anyway... there was like 3 minutes of backstories for a characters with like 10 minutes of screen time.

Yea I love Tachikawa, lol. Finally, the true battle begins.

It still feels annoying how much they are forcing to make the nasu squad liked by everyone when I really didn't care. That sniper didn't stand a chance against Yuma from the beginning and the other girl just held on thanks to the sniper being a threat.

Also I actually bought Karasuma's lie until he mentioned the rocket part. His serious face doesn't help at all.
