The Anime That You'll Regret Skipping 

As someone that binged the first season a year after it ended, i have to say this video perfectly expresses my exact feelings though for me, the visuals were of less concern because I was used to binging shows like One Piece which is also animated by Toei so you can see where I'm going with this haha. But honestly this is the first video of yours I've watched and I had to subscribe, everything from the editing to the way you scripted this video kept me invested for a full 19 minutes and that's so hard to do for me because I struggle to stay focused on any one thing But I LOVE how you made real life parallels and how much that resonated with me because I have things I want to do that I don't necessarily have the affinity for. Maybe that's why I relate to Mikumo 😭. I also LOVE Mikumo and Kuga's friendship I swear! I almost feel like binging the first season again. And omg omg omg YES Season 2 was fucking spectacular from beginning to end. And the fact that ssason 3 was announced only makes this so much better!!!!

Let’s not forget the Mangaka got a nerve injury and was out of commission for 2 years yet he never gave up on this series because of how much he loved it.

People constantly underestimate the dynamic duo that is Yotaro and Rajinmaru.

World trigger season one was the definition of, "Just one more episode."

"You'll regret skipping" Me: "I'm not a filthy casual who skipped it the first time like you."

I literally clicked this because I wanted more people to watch World Trigger.

It's the tactical battles, and the fact they didn't make Osamu miraculously strong. Really glad to see people picking up on this one.

"mainly because of those F***KING CLIFFHANGERS" man i felt that

world trigger is massively underrated

World Trigger certainly has it's issues, but I can't help but love it.

SOMEONE WHOS NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT MIKUMO BEING WEAK AND ACTUALLY REALIZING THE COMPLEXITY AND GENIUS OF HIS DESIGN POG

what's nice about this anime is 1 thing: realism ! yes, while other animes are filled with clichés like "the main protagonist is weak af but with the power of friendship he beats the bad guy in the last moment -somehow" this shit doesn't happen in World Trigger, you have a weak main character that is expected to win due to -plot, yet he keeps losing because it's naturally expected (since he is weak af) but he somehow manages to win at the end by using his brain and tactics given to him by others. you get interested in this anime because you start to invest into characters that help each others and grow together to achieve their goals rather than winning because "plot" in a way that doesn't make any sense, this anime is hands down the most realistic anime i have ever seen.

Fact: Never judge a book by its cover.

Word trigger has the most complex but comprehensible battle tactics I've watched.

I am SO HAPPY that people are starting to give WT attention now, the Manga is SO GOOD and season 2 is SUCH a step up from season 1

What surprised me about this anime is that I actually remember all the characters and their personalities despite its large cast, and it made me invested in all of them. It's hard to pick a favorite character because they're all so good and developed while not feeling forcibly made unique.

im reading manga and I got to say this rank wars is the best battle shonen tournament ive read. the payoffs, strats, action and foreshadowing is all too good

it's honestly sad how this season is also airing with some big names, literally titan's of the anime industry.

I'm such a sucker for this kind of anime where they flesh out all of the powers and establish the limits of everything. I love when things follow the laws of the world they are set in.

For me personally, it's new to see a protagonist that isn't Strong af, or goes from weak to strong. People complain he's weak when he's been at Border for like 6 months, going up against people who've been there years.

Not sure how someone can make a video about World Trigger without bringing up why it went on hiatus for so long... It was really cool how other manga artist and fans were so supportive of the creator when they had to go on hiatus due to health reasons. From what I saw, Jump was supportive and basically said World Trigger would be welcomed back when the artist was ready to start again, and a bunch of other artist did fanart for him to help keep interest alive and show their support. Getting it back into animation must have taken a lot of work and I was so happy to see it return.

What I love the most about this show, There is no BS beef among members. Even Kageura who I thought was the loud angry shonen guy is just burdened by a bizarre side effect.

One of the few shows that has an MC for both types of fans. A weak developing MC and a badass shonen protagonist with an interesting story

Don’t worry guys, third season is already confirmed 👍🏻

World trigger is a hidden gem.

"Every time I saw that 5 year old, I had a grin on my face" Oh shit

Your roommate is a legend. Did good in getting you to watch that. I'm so glad I watched it as it aired. Watching World Trigger 2 (5 years wait) with Log Horizon 3 (6 years wait) made an already amazing season even greater. I can't wait for World Trigger season 3, so hyped.

"a ridiculous five-year-old riding around on his capybara trying to determine if you're worthy enough to have his red bean pancake" WTH 😂

The cliffhangers are so good it hurts. The wait kills me.

World Trigger does a very interesting thing with the concept of the Shounen protagonist. There are two quintessential features of a shounen protagonist: A, the will and drive to change the world around them. B, the power to carry out their will. World Trigger however explores these two ideas separately by splitting them into two separate characters, Mikumo and Kuga. Mikumo has a great deal of drive and willpower, but lacks the power to carry out that will. Kuga has a great deal of power and experience, but lacks the drive or goals to obtain. It is only when these two come together that progress is made, and that each other develops that which they lack, while also examining them in detail. Mikumo for example, his lack of power despite his immense drive, frankly comes across as suicidal at times. He often tries to protect others even when he lacks the power to even protect himself, and it damn near gets himself killed on a number of occasions. It's only through his understand of his own weakness, as well as accepting support from thous who are strong, that he is able to grow and obtain a strength of his own, the ability to bring people together and support the dreams of others. As well as slowly becoming actually strong, even if he may never be as strong as some of his friends. Kuga on the other hand is examined in a couple of different ways. First is established that regardless of how powerful he his, he still needs help and support just for the day to day living, as in peace, power is pointless. Then later we see that regardless of how OP his black trigger is, at the end of the day there is only so much one person can do, and Border can win with numbers alone if need be, should he ever go against them. This is illustrated in a character that could be considered a mirror to Kuga, Enedra. A neighbor with loads of power with a black trigger, no real long term goals, just immediate wants, which in this case is war and battle. We see how destructive such unrestrained power is, but also how ultimately self defeating it is in the end. Power without purpose is either destructive or pointless. It is only through the help of his friends that Kuga comes to find purpose and goals to strive for. World Trigger may not be the flashiest of series, but it is a very smart series. And I am glad that people are coming around to it.

World Trigger is one of the anime that should be recognize to many people, not to mention their ost is good too.

I really wanted someone to just say this. World trigger is too underrated ....

THANK YOU OMG I'VE BEEN LIKE RECOMMENDING THIS TO MY FRIENDS BUT NO ONE IS PICKING IT UP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I like how even though there are political differences, at the end of the day, TEAMWORK comes first. Nobody is petty and lets their teammates die because they had a disagreement, they are all fighting to protect their world. They can argue AFTER the real enemies are dealt with.

honestly world trigger is my favorite manga, and seeing the 2nd/3rd seasons get announced after *5 fucking years* I have to say it was the highlight of the year. Seeing ikoma squad getting screentime is never a bad thing.

Comment for the algorithm! I, too, thought nothing of this show (even having seen a couple clips), but was convinced to watch it by this video. It's now one of my all-time favorites. May this message spread to many other such people!

The only thing I would say, that even Yuma's Black Trigger shows how the show values a tactical standpoint more than anything else.

I've legit been recommending this anime to ppl for over 4 years now, its actually crazy XD

This show was so good i felt so bad when it felt like no one watched it

I remember seeing the cover and I held up on it, but just like you, once I saw those first few episodes, I was hooked. Everything was explained fairly well, that there were rarely any plot holes, and as someone who has watched so much anime, it's refreshing. This anime really picks up best when the team rank battles start. Ever since I finished this show, I've been wanting a 2nd season, and I'm glad it finally got that chance!

"filler arc is questionable" i just laughed cause I relate so fcking much

Im so glad my baby World Trigger is finally getting some love ;v;

I started World Trigger in late 2020 and I was so surprised on why it wasn't really talked about

earned yourself a like for the "F*CKIN CLIFFHANGERS"

World trigger is super balanced. Like every side characters are goats 💯🔥. Even Osamu

To whoever reading this, you may not be invested to watch the anime, but please at least read the manga if you want to speed up. Cause its just good. It just came back from a very long haitus too (because the mangaka overworked and got seriously ill but now he's recovering and start giving absolute banger chapters every month). Key attraction of this story is the battle strategies, personally. Tldr; the manga is great because the story is great.

I saw this comment elsewhere, years ago, but it best sums up what I love the most about World Trigger: the primary characters don't get *stronger* they get *better.*

I’m so glad I got into world trigger before I had taste. Because damn the first several episodes are weak, but it gets SO good

When I watch a Dota match or a chess match between two GMs, a big part of the fun is trying to predict the actions the players are going to take. This is possible, if you are knowledgeable enough on the game and on the players, because such games have very well established rules and given certain circumstances using strategy you are able to narrow your perspective onto only a few course of actions. Knowing the players allows to further limit the number of choices. World Trigger is one of the few manga that has managed to give me the same feeling. The fights not only make sense strategically, but they feel like they flow naturally from start to finish and that the characters always take the course of actions that make the most sense. Also the characters are great!

As a long time World Trigger reader I was mad, Toei did season 1 dirty! I'm really glad they shaped up for season 2.

I watched all 3 seasons in 2022 and it became my favorite anime of all time. Truly underrated

The best episode is easily the one with just Yotaro and Raijin-maru Capybara OH YEAH

Season 1 had its issues but it was good. The new season is god tier. The power system in World Trigger is among my top 5 best power systems ever

They so confident in the quality of the series that they green lit season 2 and 3 at the same time. And they are right to do so, season 2 fixed absolutely everything people didn't like about season 1 and honestly, exceeded expectations completely.

God damnnnnn I remember being amazed by this show, mainly the strategy and the fights because they were surprisingly straight fire! Almost caught up to the new season, glad someone is talking bout it!

World trigger honestly is amazing. I've stuck with it since the first season and was so happy when season 2 got announced. The way how they handle characters is brilliant. Just about everything feels grounded although it is fantasy which is one of the big reasons I love it. The fights are so strategic that when you see a plan come together you can't help but go "yeah that was a 5head moment." I could go on and on but I think this video put the respect on it's name it so rightfully deserved.

ironically this video is as underrated as the anime ...

Tbh I'm glad it took so long for the 2nd season to come out. It gave the producers a chance to greatly up the quality of the animation as well as direction. Honestly the two seasons are night and day in terms of difference in quality.

This series single-handedly carried my entire summer vacation. Every day I would watch 2 or 3 episodes

So what are you telling me is? That WT is a slow burn that slowly takes steams. And becomes a great series. There is no justice in this world. How such show can be ignored likw this!!

If World trigger didnt go on Haitus because of health reason it would be in the TOP 5 OF SHONEN JUMP. Theres a reason why World Trigger maintains a huge japanese fanbase and hardcore Global fanbase despite its long haitus because its quality is so good just like HxH and the many other Haitus series that people love.

World Trigger is such a masterpiece! It is my favorite anime ever. Even tho season 1 starts slow and the art isn't the best, the story is solid and the characters are amazing! There isn't any anime that brings so much attention to other side characters. I love the variation and interactions of different border members and their enemies. Most importantly, everything makes sense. I love this showw!!

the second season was A BANGER !!!! right from the start its all 100% jaw dropping hype it made me rewatch the first season EVEN THE FILLER and that is something I rarely do I rewatched the second season like 5 times already and the third season is slower at the start ... but man OH MAN does it pay off HUGE ! !!! specially 12 and 13

Now you see...most of the times, I would indeed get pissed off for the random Openings BUT World trigger had such a hard bop of an OP that it's on my playlist to this date Also thanks man for spreading the World Trigger story around, it really is one of the most unique anime I've read and I think there are many of the fans that feel the same when I say It just didn't get enough attention

WORLD TRIGGER IS A HIDDEN GEM NGL I LOVE IT

One thing I like about World Trigger is that it emphasizes completing objectives. Kind of like Capture the Flag in FPS games. You can get all the kills all you want but if you get outscored, it's in vain.

This made me give world trigger a second chance after dropping it on episode 3 a long time ago. I'm 25 episodes in and it's so good

Seeing such an involved video about all the great and not so great things about this anime, seeing how much someone else cares, makes me so so happy. You explained World Trigger in the best way possible thank you so much

As a avid anime watcher and manga reader with over 500 titles in my backpack from all genres, World Trigger is one of my favorite anime and manga from its CAST personalities, interactions and story, especially tournament arc oh my gosh, (and personally also the openings hehe) that it constantly makes me want to binge it all over again. (I’m on my 5th binge read.. somebody stop me please) THANK YOU for making this video for more people to give it a second chance!!!

I watched World Trigger so long ago, and it was such a good show. World Trigger is so underrated.

Really glad that I picked this up before season 2 began. Season 2 just showed a lot of improvement in animation, it deserves a lot more attention

Me who's been following World Trigger religiously: yup, definitely skipped it

My favourite part of the series, that becomes more prevalent in the latter half of the series is how the characters start to borrow each other's tactics and adapt them to suit themselves Yuma borrows Kazama's mole claw, only for him to use Yuma's arm decoy in another fight.

Gives me early 2000 anime nostalgia, ton of loveable characters that aren't cringeworthy, story is not that predictable, its refreshing to watch its to bad its cursed with the epilogue curse

this anime is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo underrated, one of my favorite of all time

WORLD TRIGGER APPRECIATION YESSS, i was waiting for S2 for so long since 2018. Thank you for uploading this!!

WORLD TRIGGER IS SO SLEPT ON, ONE OF THE BEST SHOUNEN MANGAS OF ALL TIME.

It got a 2nd season because there was finally enough source material. The author had some health issues and couldnt continue, especially at the pace shonen jump demands. But, a couple of years ago Shonen Jump allowed him to use a modified schedule he started putting out new chapters every few months and now we have season 2.

I really appreciate you making this video about World Trigger. I've been really enjoying S2 and I agree, it really deserves more attention.

Finally someone talks about this...

One of the best things about world trigger is there’s no ass pull nakama bs. It’s a very smart series.

The second season is so damn badass, the fights keep me glued to the show.

I watched this many year ago and remember enjoying it and wanting more even though I don’t remember what it was about. Now that you made this video I might just go back and rewatch to catch up to the next season :D

I love world trigger. The power system is so comprehensive and well thought-out that you can see every minor detail in action and know why it's being done. For example someone deactivating their bagworm when going on full defense because they need an extra trigger to defend. It's never explicitly stated but you can slow down a fight scene and follow exactly what's happening. It's such a well flawless system in that regard. We as viewers are fully aware of all the limitations of the power system but we're still surprised when someone pulls out some fresh application. Kuga's grasshopper moves are a perfect example of this. That and the fact that there are maybe 30 characters that are fully fleshed out and interact with each other in their own unique ways. They're pretty much all different and memorable in their own way. Truly impressive.

THANK YOU. I adore this series and it seems like nobody ever talks about it.

dude, i haven't continue World trigger since episode 1 now i should... awesome video

Annnndddd.... just finished season 2. Thanks for talking me into this.... and I talked another friend into it!

This gave me chills. There are some animes out there that are simply underrated and when you decide to give them a chance you just get confused at “how can people dislike this and like that?”. I started watching this after a sort of a crisis, consequence of many of my favorite shows ending. I needed to find something that wasn’t 12 episode long, you know, that could give you the time to create a bond with characters. Every episode just made this evolve into something completely different from other shonens. I liked this so much that when I found out that the 2nd season was just 12 episodes long (what an irony) I stayed in bed devastated for the rest of the day

THIS ANIME IS SO UNDERRATED

Having watched the first season as it aired, this season is really good (Also helps a lot that the 3rd season has already been announced as well)

thank you for this! i’m literally off a cliffhanger off world trigger season 3 ep13 and it was awesome!!! i can’t recall how i came upon world trigger but i ended up finishing season 1 in like 3 days and now having my mind blown by seasons 2&3!! i thoroughly enjoyed your summary as to why everyone should watch WT and i agree with all the points you’ve made. please give this series a shot because you will be hooked and you will want to support every single agent not just the main cast. One thing I’m most impressed by is that all the border agents are teens/young adults and they’re all so dedicated, responsible, thoughtful, strong, disciplined (w/o training there is no way these agents became stronger)…all these traits make me reflect on myself…

THANK YOU ! for sharing this with your community. More exposure could mean more (i think) seasons and i want a season 3 xD.

Already watched this anime and I’m glad you made this vid because it’s was so good once you got through the first 12 episodes it deserves the praise you gave love this video

yeess! i watched it while it was airing back in the day and was sad when it just stopped. This new season has been soo good. I've gotten a couple of my friends to watch it. They all enjoy it a lot. Glad to see this show getting some recognition.

ngl, I actually prefer watching this over more popular animes. It's really enjoyable and I've somehow watched the whole series twice

This is a beautifully made video. You have certainly piqued my interest in this anime..Maybe I'll give it a try. All the best in future vids!

Do you know how we call world trigger in the small hispanic world of world trigger fandom? "Opening locos trigger" XDD

Man World Trigger is so slept on one of my favorite shōnen jump series

Thank you for making this!! Think World Trigger is majorly slept on. This has actually become one of my favorite anime ever.

Okay, you’re making this show sound more awesome than I believe I found it. But you gave me the reminder of what I enjoyed about the series enough to watch S2. Might even rewatch S1.
