| Not going to lie, watching Chika's mental state and fear of her past really was disheartening. The episode took on a more psychological approach to her character, something that I actually think they've done well. It made me invest into her character more. |
 |
| Hyuse activated Chika's fears and disturbed mental state due to her backstory with the neighbor and how she doesn't want to be selfish and be ready to shoot so they won't reproach her to not do it, it's understandable how she thinks and they did it right for us to understand perfectly I would say, that was sure a good development for Chika |
 |
| I can really relate with Chika regarding her reason for not wanting to shoot people. She is just super self-conscious about what others will think of her for doing so with various reasonings. If I was in her shoes, I might have acted in a similar fashion, though perhaps not exactly to the same degree. There wasn't much ground covered this episodes, but we got needed details on what was going on with Chika, and this episode succeeded perfectly in regards to that. The animation style of the show limited the effectiveness of the emotions that they could put on display from Chika's face, but it was still really well done. I assume that the next battle will start at the very end of the next episode, so there will probably be a lot of strategizing next episode. The pacing has been mostly decent so far, so hopefully it stays true for the rest of the series. |

I normally watch dubbed, and when I do, I don't bother posting since it's already at least a month after the episode aired subbed. But whenever there is a show that I do watch the sub for, more often than not, I post for each episode. anime-prime said: I haven't seen you comment on episode posts for a while lolI can really relate with Chika regarding her reason for not wanting to shoot people.

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| This episode was really nice. Aside from the other stuff with the BBQ and the others. The strategy meeting later on comes into action. Hyuse really did a number on Chika's mental state of the mind, but he does bring up good points/facts without much evidence. However Hyuse brings in a what if scenario with Osamu and Yuma that can change things around. I mean Chika we all know that he cannot shoot people. But there is another reason behind it. She had a friend that believed her, but she ended up missing. But she is afraid of being blamed for many things. Either that, she can also is afraid of being in the spotlight of attention and people can end up talking bad/smack, or behind her back for it because of what she did or what she can do. However, with the help of Renji and Usami she manages to calm down a bit. Now Chika goes to Hyuse and Yotaro and going into action once more. Can't wait for the next episode. And the next and final round of B-rank wars is going to be exciting. X3 |
| One of the things I really like about World Trigger in general is how it's usually very straightforward and battle-focused, but it's also really nice to get a more emotional episode every once in a while. Great episode overall! |
  "Truth is always a cruel thing." |
| This was a good episode. Not that Chika experienced childhood trauma, but how she explained it and how they handle it. Unresolved trauma can drive a person's whole life; Chika even mentioned that it causes her to overachieve (not in so many words, but she said she tries as hard as she can to avoid receiving blame). Compare to how common it is for children who experience divorce to blame themselves for that divorce. |
| I think this series takes itself too seriously at times with all the dramatic music and character reactions. Tbh, I still don’t think Chika’s reasoning for not shooting people makes sense, but I’m happy as long as she moves past it. |
| Is good episode when is focused on one of the MC squad, not the blabbering of other squads. But when is Chika focused is great. On one side was very sad the exploration of Chika psychology and reasoning, but on another side Chika expressions where so great that could make a meme template. |
 |
| I really like Chika as a character but I think her reasoning is kind of weak? Not entirely sure if I really get her "I-am-scared-of-being-blamed" logic but maybe there are really some rare characters like that. But at least, it seems like she will be able to move forward now with a new resolve. All thanks to Hyuse's straightforward attack! hahahahha. I really like his bluntness & direct approach in everything. |
| Good to know Chika's reason for not being able to shoot and nice she finally resolved herself to be able to do it, good job Hyuse kun. Also Konami was adorable. |
 |
| I can't wait to see the people's expressions when Chika shoots to kill(more like destroy). |
| Hyuse seems to be the catalyst for T-2 to step their game up. I hope it doesn't take the possibility of losing another friend for Chika to break her barriers. Funny, I thought the same a couple of weeks ago. lol |

| Iirc, there were quite a lot of people who also thought Chika's real reasoning for being unable to shoot people was either weak or hard to believe when the manga chapter came out. And I suppose that's understandable, because that way of thinking is very extreme. I can personally relate to her, and I loved this revelation about Chika and the vulnerability she displayed in this episode. While not exactly in the same shoes, I liken her feelings of being scared of being blamed similar to me being a people pleaser. Like anime-prime said, she is very self-conscious, and in turn, she acts in ways to relieve her fears, which she believes to be selfish. Viewing as a third person, I agree with Usami that it's normal that people act out of their own self-interest. But I can connect with how Chika views of herself, how she is ashamed of the reason she is unable (or not allowing herself) to shoot at others. She doesn't think of herself as a good person, and it's really scary to admit that. I think for people who cannot relate, it's sort of like, what's the big deal? But it really is a big deal for people who care a lot about what others think of them. Hyuse wasn't exactly tactful in the way he confronted Chika, but him making Chika realize that her inability to shoot could cause harm to Osamu and Yuuma was the right call. Unfortunately he couldn't say in a way that wouldn't trigger a panic attack... Now, Chika understands the stakes, and she's moving forward to change herself and be even more of a help to her team. Serious talk aside, Tsuji was so cute, haha. He usually looks so cool in his team outfit, but it's surprising to see that he's not good with girls. Even funnier when he is impressed by Osamu being able to dine with three girls :'D Inukai is also great at extracting information so nonchalantly, haha. |
| I really liked this episode, it was one of the best I seen for the series hands down, we finally reach the bottom of why Chika is afraid to shoot, hopefully she can find a good reason to so their team can safely go on the expedition. |

The character stuff always seems to drag on. |
| Hyuse confronted Chika about the exact scenario I was thinking of and I too was sure that she will shoot if the lives of her dear comrades is in danger. So whether she shoots or not, she's going to get self conscious anyway, so I believe it's better to make full use of her abilities for the sake of her friends and it's good to see she found that resolve here in this episode. On a different note, it's my first time I see different kinds of mods on an episode forum. And I'm glad it's about WT, haha. |
 |
| Nice episode overall, also I feel Chika got a little stronger. I want to see her answer to Hyuse too. (So much mod comments here lol) |
| i love chika and her character development !! |
| Best episode of World Trigger in a while. Finally some Chika development. |
| I do get what Chika's saying, but I loved the way Hyuse said it there. They will die if you won't be able to shoot the humanoid neighbors. But if Chika will be able to actually shoot, then Tamakoma2 will have a really good chance. Osamu's still useless though. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| YAY Chika Bomber all the way! Theory: Feeling of public guilty is a multiplier of Trigger. That would explain Chika, lol. |

| Finally, a character development for Chika. It took too long, quite so. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| I can't help hating Chika. I think I'm also really envious of her for having such nice people around her. People who won't blame her for being weak... |
 |
| Finally, Chika needed to hear the truth and people need to stop shielding her, she cannot grow stronger if she is used to people protecting her, she basically didn't talk just people siding her, I know is hard but they are not always going to be there to protect her so she needs to stand for herself. |
| I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something. People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English. |
| I have PTSD (manually beating hearts outside the body after got exploded, buddy bleeding out from leg and me going brain dead for simple tourniquet action, et cetera) and Hyuse and Chika's reaction triggered the hell out of me... haha Trigger-On While her reaction is extremely relatable and I was having same reaction watching, and her experience influences kind of make sense, I had a major flaw in my mind "That excuse does not pan out for the actions she has done so far". She knows those are Trion bodies, she knows the rubble can fall and kill people who aren't in trion bodies, et cetera. I am thankful for Usami-san and Kizaki-san for being there for her, reminding her they are listening and helping being available for her to get these feelings out and history those two might not have known (we knew). Thankful for Hyuse for challenging her. Unfortunately, in order to get past these mental issues, you sometimes need to hit them head-on, and it hurts. This was pretty much already suggested and Hyuse was able to do it with just words. Had to cry a bit before/during/after writing above. I'm looking forward to her hopefully overcoming this. Osamu and Yuma might be fine, but now she had someone push reality on to her. I think she'll do what needs to be done and HOPING she will ask Hyuse to test it out in simulator with her shooting him, because if she can shoot a teammate, she can shoot and opponent... but I might be hoping for too much. Having her be the teams carry over Yuma and Hyuse would be HUGE. 5/5 |

I don't understand Chika's fears. How could she be blamed for Aoba's disappearance? Also, how could she be blamed for doing something normal as a sniper? A thing everyone expects her to do?
| @Banga192 It lacks logic but mental issues are commonly... dumb (I have mental issues). However for this world, her logic does make a little more sense. I can absolutely see people blaming her or even thinking she's responsible or on the neighbors side. Remember Border and the Media has thought some unhinged things. Then of course it's natural/common for people to blame themselves for things that are not their fault. The sniper part makes a lot less sense as over half the things she mentioned would still be an issue with what's she does without shooting people directly. I can understand outside of B-Rank wars maybe thinking she'll unintentionally kill people she didn't see, or maybe debris will fall and kill them, or maybe they weren't in trion bodies (yes Border triggers have a failsafe for this, but I would imagine it's imperfect and someone like Chika could easily overpower it) |

People could've said "Aoba was abducted because Chika told her about neighbors" or "Aoba was abducted because she was always around Chika, the neighbor was after Chika but took her instead".

She thinks her massive Trion and ridiculous canon shots could've made some of her team's opponents complain about how unfair it is, become jealous or dislike her. She didn't want to stand out in that way and have other people's hostility and shit talking to be directed at her.
That said, this is the mind of a 14 year old girl, I think the drama and characterization is handled fairly well but I personally don't relate to this way of thinking.
