First of all, as always, thank you to everyone who sent me nice messages!! You’re all so kind and I’m honestly a bit amazed you guys are still here so thank you <333

Secondly, I finished this translation a lot faster than the past few times, sadly because it’s just one chapter again this time (but no word of hiatuses yet so best of wishes to Ashihara’s health), but hopefully this means I’ll have time to post the volume extras before the next release.

Panel 1

Sakurako: Now, one by one, the pieces are falling

Sakurako: And the progress of battle has undergone immense developments!

Panel 2

Sakurako: Ikoma squad is now wiped out!

Sakurako: It has become a conflict between 3 teams!

Panel 3

Sakurako: For Tamakoma Second, who needs ‘3 more points’

Sakurako: It is painful for them as the number of people decrease while they remain unable to earn points!

Panel 4

Sakurako: On that point as well

Sakurako: Can it be said that

Sakurako: Agent Obishima’s decision here will have an effect in the future?

Ouji: Mhm, that’s right

Panel 1

Ouji: Both Kai-kun and Obi-nyan

Ouji: Had probably predicted where Tamakoma, who wants points

Ouji: Would be butting in

Panel 2

Ouji: With Tamakoma deliberately showing himself there



*wind howling*

*rustle*

Ouji: And aiming to try and earn 2 points through his own power

Panel 3

Ouji: And Kai-kun’s aim of trying to mess things up and create a chance for himself

Ouji: Since he’s injured

Panel 4

Ouji: Obi-nyan did a good job calmly evading them and earning a point

Ouji: Is what I thought

Panel 5

Sakurako: I see…!

Konami: Ngghh…

Panel 1

Sakurako: In that case, for Agent Kuga

Sakurako: Would it have been better

Sakurako: For him to use Bagworm and enter the scene with a covert attack?

Panel 2

Kurauchi: That would be difficult to judge

Panel 3

Kurauchi: This season, Agent Kuga

Kurauchi: Have shown multiple times a surprise attack with Bagworm

Kurauchi: So the level of vigilance of the other teams should be fairly high

Panel 4

Kurauchi: Even if he takes 1 person down with a surprise attack

Kurauchi: I think there would have been a risk of him taking damage from a counterattack

Panel 5

Kurauchi: The result this time is that Agent Obishima took a point

Kurauchi: But, with Agent Tonooka down, it doesn’t change the fact that Yuba squad has it tough

Panel 1

Kurauchi: How they conduct themselves from here is very important

Panel 3

Inukai: With Tono-kun down, Tamakoma’s running free right now

Inukai: Is it okay not to go to Obishima-chan?

Panel 4

Yuba: That guy’s doing her job properly

Panel 1

Yuba: I can’t be sitting on the fence here

Yuba: Riiight!?

Panel 2

Inukai: Your face is scary, Yuba-san

Panel 3

*bang bang bang bang*

Panel 4

*impact impact impact*

Panel 5

Yuba: !

Panel 1

Fujimaru: Right side!

Panel 2

*whoosh*

Panel 3

*turn*

Panel 4

*impact*

Panel 1

*bam bam*

*impact impact*

Panel 2

Inukai: Thank you, Tsuji-chan, you saved me

*rustle*

Tsuji: Thank you for waiting

Panel 3

Sakurako: Agent Tsuji joins up here!

Sakurako: Has Agent Inukai’s full-on running born fruit!?

Panel 4

Konami: We don’t know yet

Konami: Because Yuba-chan is the ‘Attacker Killer’

Panel 5

Sakurako: By ‘Attacker Killer’ you mean…?

Panel 1

Ouji: In the first place, Yuba-san’s style

Ouji: Is so that he can have the advantage against Attackers who have Senkuu

Panel 2

Ouji: This was devised

Ouji: By referencing Suwa-san’s double Shotgun

Panel 3

Konami: The range of effectiveness of Yuba-chan’s revolvers

Konami: Should be a bit more than 22m

Panel 4

Konami: This is just beyond

Senkuu Kogetsu Range

Konami: What an Attacker can reach ‘stepping into a Senkuu Kogetsu’

Panel 1

Konami: If he can maintain that distance between them

Konami: Yuba-chan can beat the Attackers up one-sidedly

Panel 2

Konami: By the way

Konami: Born from opposing Yuba-san’s style was

Konami: ‘Ikoma Senkuu’

Sakurako: What…! Such history behind the technique…!

Panel 3

Izumi: It’s true that Tsuji-chan

Izumi: Can’t unleash his firepower when Yuba-san’s the opponent…

Panel 4

Izumi: But if the 2 of them devote themselves to defence and buy enough time…

Panel 5

*wind howling*

Panel 1

*bang*

Panel 2

*roar*

Panel 1

*wind howling*

Izumi: The ace will finally arrive

Panel 2

*impact*

Panel 1

Fujimaru: Ninomiya squad fucking assembled!

Fujimaru: Can you return!? Yukari!

*rustle*

Obishima: I’ll try!

Panel 2

Obishima: I’ve achieved my goal having taken Minamisawa-sempai down

Obishima: I’ll pull him along like this

Obishima: And pit Kuga-sempai against Ninomiya squad…!

Panel 3

*twist*

Panel 4

*step*

*whirl*

Obishima: !!

Panel 1

Obishima: Mikumo-sempai’s Spider…!

Obishima: I was too preoccupied with Kuga-sempai…!

Panel 2

Sakurako: Oh my! In the fight on the eastern side, Agent Obishima

Sakurako: Is caught in Agent Mikumo’s Spider!

Kurauchi: He read where Yuba squad would meet up and set it in that location

Panel 3

*turn*

Sakurako: Now, In the Spider Zone, Agent Kuga’s

Panel 4

Sakurako: Wire High Speed Manoeuvre unfolds!

*impact impact impact impact*

Panel 2

*zip*

Yuuma: !

Panel 3

*impact impact impact impact impact*

Panel 4

Sakurako: Oh!?

Sakurako: Agent Obishima counterattacks with Omnidirectional Shooting!

Panel 5

Ouji: A countermeasure that aims for a draw even if she can’t follow his movements with her eyes

Panel 1

Ouji: On Kuugar’s side, he can guard against it if he widens his Shield

Ouji: But perhaps she intends to break it open with Kogetsu if that happens?

Panel 2

Ouji: Considering that Ninomiya squad have an entire 3 people remaining

Ouji: Kuugar probably doesn’t want to take damage here either

Ouji: So it might have gotten a bit difficult to attack

Panel 3

*machine whirr*

Panel 4

*whiz*

Panel 5

Obishima: Scorpion Throw!

Panel 1

*dash*

Panel 2

*turn*

Panel 3

Obishima: !!

Panel 4

Panel 1

Yuuma: Grasshopper

Panel 4

*bang bang bang bang bang bang*

Panel 1

Obishima: …!!

Obishima: Scorpion Pinball…!?

Panel 2

*impact*

Panel 3

*wind howling*

*whirl*

Panel 4

*bang*

Panel 1

*crack*

Yuuma: You’ll become strong, Obishima-chan

Panel 2

Yuuma: I guarantee it

Panel 3

*bam*

Sakurako: Agent Obishima bails out!

Sakurako: With this Tamakoma Second needs 2 more points!

Panel 4

*wind howling*

Sakurako: Yuba squad is left with 1 person!

-

1. Sakurako calls Osamu ‘Mikumo Taiin’ which is why I translated it as Agent Mikumo but it’s probably a typo since otherwise it’s always been 'Mikumo Taichou’ which I translate as Captain

2. As always, thank you Ashihara for giving female characters these chances that usually go to male ones. To have Obishima be the lesser rival to the protag that has him promising she’ll get stronger, he will guarantee it…this is what I love about World Trigger’s female characters

3. In conclusion, I think chances are better than ever that Chika will have a pivotal role in this match, especially against Ninomiya since I think this chapter has built up Yuba getting something in against Nino but ultimately losing to him which will make it easier and more likely for Chika to also get something in against Nino since he won’t be at full power.

And since it was just one chapter this time, I also translated the Ouji Nickname guide that came with it:



Ouji Kazuaki’s Nickname Collection Spring ‘20

Captain Ouji Kazuaki of Ouji squad, serving as commentator for ROUND 8 as it sparks with fierce fighting. His strong style of throwing in nicknames he made himself without hesitation into the commentary, something that is required to be easily understandable, is just like him but also deadly for first-timers. I have made a summary, I hope it can be of assistance.

+

Tamakoma 2nd

Mikumo Osamu = Ossam

Kuga Yuuma = Kuugar

Amatori Chika = Amatoriciana

Hus = Huston

+

Ikoma Squad

Ikoma Tatsuhito = Iko-san*

Mizukami Satoshi = Mizukaming

Oki Kouji = Okky

Minamisawa Kai = Kai-kun

+

Ninomiya Squad

Ninomiya Masataka = Ninomiya-san*

Inukai Sumiharu = Sumi-kun

Tsuji Shinnosuke = Tsuji-chan

+

Yuba Squad

Yuba Takuma = Yuba-san*

Obishima Yukari = Obi-nyan

Tonooka Kazuto = Tono-kun

+

*As expected, with those older, you can see his prudence in not cutting loose too much

+

And Many Others! A spirit that burns for naming!!

Though there exists many nicknames created by Captain Ouji, it seems he did not give them much thought in their creation. Among them there are those, like ‘Pokari’, that have permeated widely throughout Border. In addition, it appears that the one that has spread the least is ‘Jakuson’.

Katori Youko (Katori Squad) = Katorine

Wakamura Rokurou (Katori Squad) = Jakuson

Teruya Fumika (Kakizaki Squad) = Teruteru

Hokari Atsushi (Arafune Squad) = Pokari

-

I can’t believe I didn’t realise until now that Pokari is an Ouji Nickname. It’s so obvious in hindsight
