World Trigger 2nd Season Episode 2 Discussion

Man. This series gives me so much fun and joy for some reason. I am so glad I started this series many years ago. The fighting choreography looks good and looks like black trion leaks instead of the usual yellow. What made them want to change it up?

Spycrabicus said:
I've noticed that when someone gets hit, the trion that comes out looks black vs light green like before. Is that a stylistic change? Is it something unique to this arc? Or is it something unique to the Neighbors that they are fighting?

In Japan it is being highly appreciated and on this side there are few who appreciate it ...

This episode really showcases my biggest issue with World Trigger that also happened throughout the entire first season: the heroes are so freaking overpowered and are always on top of things. The villains are an absolute joke, they barely pose any threat. This leaves these action scenes so boring and without any tension at all. This is one of those rare anime that I'm constantly rooting for the villains to gain the upper hand so we can have more exciting moments. Such a shame :(

Jin's side effect was such a poorly conceived idea. I do hope it gets alot better. I love this anime's approach to tactial combat (at least it was the idea) and the entire Trion system but I can't stand how some characters (which are very unlikeable) are retartedly overpowered, basically masked by "strategy" or "side effect".

tf? Villains in this series are a lot stronger than the good guys; if we consider the first season there's not a single enemy that got defeated by one character alone except viza,and even in that case it was just because he didn't know about yuma's ability, otherwise he would have won easily, all the other villains required more than 3/4 people, enedora required basically the entire border; it's always like this, teamwork > skill; and in this Second series it's still early, but the enemies are still very strong (considering that in the 4 v 2 fight we have the best 4 attackers of border)

I'll admit I went a little overboard on talking about each individual character being overpowered and yes, singlehandedly they stand no chance against a villain. I'll reformulate to say that my problem are actually the fights themselves.

I feel extremely bored during most of the fights because there's no situation where the characters get their asses whooped and need to find a way out of it, either through skill or teamwork. They're most of the time fine and it's the villains who are usually smashed into a corner. There's no stakes, I don't see vulnerability coming from them, which makes me not care for them. The only character I love to see succeed (because he is actually flawed and vulnerable) is Osamu.

I get the point that they're border agents and they benefit heavily from teamwork, and yes, I get that the villains' have no intention on truly fighting the Border, but if that makes our characters so on top of their enemies, I think the fight scenes are a complete time waster (but well, that's just my opinion).

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The fight against the hounds was impressive too, Im glad this looks so good on screen, it was my colleague who made the greater part of the smoke fight, it looks very hard to do but it looks nice in the end. These changing shapes enemies are scary opponents...
The scene that felt the worst was when he deployed his mechanic arms, I was drinking coffee when drawing this and spilled it on my sheets I had to re-do everything I felt very ashamed of me, glad the result still looks awesome.

The season is very good from start, it has more dynamism and looks much nicer than the first one.

Galopula arc is clearly the best so far, Im very proud to have taken part in its creation.

Tbh, I don't think you are wrong for wanting to root for Galopoula here. The establishing scene given portrayed them as being strong armed by Afto into fighting a war they don't want. Now they have to try and accomplish a mission that walks the line between pleasing Afto and not pissing off Border too much.

This shonen is easily one of the most underrated. Stop sleeping on it.

ItsBritneyBitch said:


its not underrated at all, the first season showed what the story is and a lot of people weren't interested. The ideas and writing of this show are a bit too childish from conflict, resolution of conflicts, characters, character relationships etc. Its just painfully average and this shows even improving the animation quality doesnt save a show from dire mediocrity.
