| I am legitimately curious as to what other readers that are up to date think of the manga currently. I've been following World Trigger since the first season came out and I think it's really some of the best shonen action that Shonen Jump had to offer. The premise has always been very interesting and while not being anything revolutionary I always thought it was extremely fun and a lot of other readers and watchers of the series seemed to think the same. What is even going on with this manga anymore though? It's just that at the pace the story's been progressing I've started to wonder when we'll actually see that away mission that is so so very important to our characters. Of course, due to the change in the schedule of the serialization from weekly to monthly the pace has been feeling slower but that's really not just it. It's completely understandable that the author has a hard time drawing weekly due to health issues but changing to a monthly schedule should come with adjustments in the way the story is presented for it to not be so slow. It feels like we've been fed chapters upon chapters of rank wars and 73 other random training regimes just for this one expedition that has been in the works for years. Yes, Ashihara does a great job at explaining things but I still believe WT shines through it's battles and worldbuilding. Just some thoughts I've had in regards to WT for a while now. I'm really interested in seeing what anyone else thinks about this situation. |

It could have been completely skipped over. The main reason I made this post was because I used to believe that we'd actually have some developments since the rank wars have finished. And that really really sucks because when things actually happen in World Trigger, they're good. |

I'm really interested in seeing what anyone else thinks about this situation. I think this kind of pacing and introduction is really so meant to build towards the away missions and I think Ashihara doesn't like to cut corners on fleshing out the aspects of the world he has going on and he also uses these types of arcs in order to also familiarize yourself with newer characters in the series which is what the rank wars were all about I still think its a great manga it just so happens that due to the current pace and arc as well as it being a monthly release it can seem boring currently but I think this is just in general with some series similarly to Vinland Saga which a lot of people weren't really into the newest arc and the current chapters in general but until I get the full perspective on it I'll reserve opinions but with WT I can confidently say Ashihara is a great model for planning stuff out even if it may go against what typical Shonen Jump manga try to do which is generate excitement right out the gate and keep it going Ashihara doesn't mind taking the long route to get to the interesting and exciting pay offs |

| I haven't read the manga but finished all the anime seasons. I think it's a great battle shounen. Osamu is also realistic and struggles through his own weakness and cowardice to slowly emerge as a leader to be feared by opponents. His character progression has been quite realistic and pretty much no one (except maybe Jin and Konami) is OP. Chika finally gaining the courage to shoot actual bullets to kill was quite the development. I am just hoping for more anime seasons of this without crappy useless stuff like the Xeno arc or more of annoying assholes like Kitora. |
| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
| I read the manga after watching the three seasons of the anime and I'm loving the current arc even more than I expected. I'm in no hurry to see the expedition, because what makes World Trigger so good is the ingenuity put into fleshing out every single activity: if you read/watch World Trigger and think "I'm getting bored with training arcs, when will we finally see the stakes rising?", this is not for you. A proof of what I'm saying is what used to be my only gripe with the current arc: when the answers given to a special assignment were left off-screen and the story moved on, I was slightly disappointed because this wasn't typical of World Trigger's style; but then the reveal and the in-depth analysis of these answers happened a few chapters later and it was a pleasant surprise for me. |
