World Trigger Chapter 146 Discussion

- As Osamu hears that, he seems to just realize that Kitora was awesome (wow, he's so slow sometimes).

- Kitora hears T-2 7 point victory from Arashiyama and her phone and comments that of course T-2 will win because they are using their power to the fullest.

- So, Jin is making Osamu do the hard work of appealing to the higher ups for Hyuse's inclusion. Hehehe, perhaps Osamu will level up from just being villain in glasses in battle, to villain in glasses in office politics in the near future.

Whoa if that was Katori doing badly than I pity those who see her on a good day. I'm a little sad that the commentator's didn't say much more about that team but at the same time, if even with all the curve balls that happen they only have that to say about Katori then it means they already have a high opinion of her and that strategy wise they did what they could.

Overall, everything was as expected of this chapter if maybe a little shorter. I would've liked to know the next opponents or maybe something of Osamu with Jin and/or Hyuse about Hyuse joining T-2.

Now i saw that she is easily broken, easy prey for a lot of characters.

Not necessarily, she is in this state because of herself. She has a very large ego and for that reason she is her own worst ennemy but that also means that she doesn't think much of what anyone else has to say (except maybe Somei). There are many ways and reason to break down and only a few of those mean that you are ''weak'' mentally. This isn't Katori's first defeat, she reacted this way because it was the culmination of a lot of things. I don't see how someone could recreate a similar situation for their benefit...

Sedgewic said:


Maybe, because we only saw her getting pissed off all the time or "lazying around". Her "pissed off" side can be taunted/provoked really easy as she thinks too highly or herself, so she wont back down provocations or challenge from someone she considers weaker (almost everyone, except the ones she may consider "the wall").

I m not saying she has little talent...on the contrary...she is remarked as one person with a lot of it and one that people has high expectations, but she isn't cool head...she needs to chill a little and think...she herself says that she isn't good at hardwork (one point that put down some comments that says she was working hard her on way...but that wasn't true) so she will change and hopefully be less spoiled

Botato said:
I was one of the people who thought that.
I can be stubborn and claim what she means here is she doesn't have the patience to continue working hard after losing, so she still does work hard but quits as soon as she loses.

Anyway, when you think about it Katori is just like Konami since she relies on her instincts. And well, that's all I'm going to say so as to not spark another debate like that one time..

Dues-aj said:
Katori's character was handled very well. I'm impressed.

Botato said:
Agreed. I would even say she's going to become more likable from now on, despite giving the impression that she would be hated in her debut.

Dues-aj said:
Though I was more or less referring to alot of her anger and frustration being self targeted. Like Hana said, she's frustrated because she wants to change for the better, but she struggles with hard work. I feel this is the correct way to portray this type of character.

Osamu's got his work cut out for him. Hyuse doesn't seem overly impressed by the results. Osamu's gotta convince Hyuse to join and then convince the brass it's acceptable to let a POW become a Border agent.

As for the next round:
Ikoma VS T-2 VS *1 random top tier* VS Kageura/Ninomiya
Or
T-2 VS Kageura/Ninomiya VS *two random top tier*

I thinks it's good to always include either B1 or B2 in round 6 so that no one can argue that the winner of that match really deserved to be in top 2.

So, I just got this thought.

Mantis is used up 2 scorpion, isn't it?
While Yuma can do mantis like Kage, but Kage can do what Yuma can't with mantis.

I wonder why Yuma wasn't using mantis when facing Kakizaki, but that's because he was facing a gunner user. So he needs a shield.
Then, Kage has a side effect. He can feel when someone want to attack him. So he can use mantis freely, until he felt someone want to attack him, then using shield or other things to defend.
On the other hand, when Yuma is using mantis, he is defenseless. So I guess he can only use it in attacker battle situation.

Please correct me if there's mistake.

I suspected something like this. Now I have a bit douth, Is Mantis a tecnique (As mole claw) or a composite trigger?

I think this was already explained and I just forgot, but when Hyuse joins will Osamu no longer be able to fight in the field or are 4 man teams allowed?

Botato said:
There's no rule stating only 3 people are allowed to fight, so they will most likely fight with 4 people.

It's the most logical assumption anyway.

LuzNight said:
I really really wanted to find who the next match was going to be against, but we didn't :(

So ever since I have been raking my brain and re-reading all the chapters to try to figure out some kind of pattern or clue as to how many matches are left or what team we might see next.

Here is what we know for sure about how many matches left:

-Both Nasu (after round 3) and Osamu (after round 4) have said that there were ''few'' matches left.
-There are matches on every saturday and wednesday. Except that every other week you have a break on wednesday.
-So far we had a match on Feb 1,5,8. Then a break. Then a match on the 15 and 19. According to a schedule shown by Usami there is one coming on the 22 (next round) and also a break on the 26.

With a scheduled break on the 26 we can assume there is at least another match after, I would guess a maximum of 3 because with more match coming up than passed Nasu and Osamu need to review their definition of ''few''.

I love the rank wars but at this point I was hoping we would get some kind of fastforward but that hope died when Yuba squad fell off the upper bracket last chapter. Why? Because Ashihara seems determined to have T-2 face every team and now that Yuba squad (one of the 3 teams left to discover) is out of T-2's bracket we are sure thay won't be in the next match or even the last one because they are not strong enough. So they will probably rise back up next match and we will see them in two rounds. Soooooo, we have at LEAST 3 matches left to witness in their integrity -__-

I doubt Ashihara will ever give us a match shorter than 4 chapters so I just pray he will keep the in-between chapters REAAAALLY minimal.

We have discussed how to get around spiders. But how about lead snipes or lead hounds? It seems that the prescription will be similar to getting around spiders. It'll require snipers, shooters (any good shooters with hound should be able to shoot all those leads down, just like Izumi did to Hyerin and their floating bullets can act as shields), escudo (rare among B rankers), or just some debris (I wonder if the next match, everyone will bring some sheet of metal around all the time).

I want to see Ouji and Ikoma teams, but for T-2 to advance, a match against B-2 might be necessary because defeating B-2 will reduce the points needed to advance to A ranks (plus its sniper will help T-2 so the other enemy teams will be in bigger disadvantage). Plus Kageura still hasn't got his fight against Yuuma.

Botato said:
According to Replica Border's bullets can't stop LB so even Izumi can't stop Chika's Hound.

p-kun said:


Which chapter is this?

Also, I just noticed another internal consistency that during the BT retrieval arc, when Kitora (equipped with spider) and Arashiyama hid in the alley, Izumi's proposed strategy was to blow up the alley, houses and all. While Miwa's proposed strategy was to lure them out. In this round, we are shown how potent spiders can be, so their strategies made sense. In particular, it shows that Izumi was not just bullet crazy, but was also cautious.

World Trigger coming very late among the most important mangas, it's recently becoming a trend.It's an injustice to this well written manga; it's an injustice its followers as well.
