I’ll be going through these slowly this time, please bear with me.

First, the Q&A. For the first time, these have not been posted to Twitter first.

Q: In volume 2, before he used Lead Bullet, Miwa-kun loaded a trigger into the handgun, do triggers in the shape of other guns have that kind of feature too?

A: Miwa’s Lead Bullet is customised. By loading an external magazine that was created beforehand, Lead Bullet can be used as a ‘handgun’s exclusive option’ (so you can use a Lead Bullet handgun in the left hand and another trigger in the right hand).

The demerit is that the cost of a magazine is high, and the number of bullets are limited.

Other gun triggers can also use it if they are customised.

Q: Can motorbikes or cars run on trion energy?

A: I think if you invent a ‘car-type trigger that runs on trion’ then it’s possible.

There is already a mechanism that converts trion into electricity, so I think electric automobiles can naturally run off it, but energy is lost in the conversion process so it’s not very efficient.

Q: Do Black Triggers not come with communication abilities or Shields?

A: It’s different depending on the Black Trigger.

For instance, Fuujin doesn’t seem to have Shield but looks like it has communication abilities (a receiver sometimes being there, sometimes not is Ashihara’s mistake).

Yuuma’s Black Trigger doesn’t have communication abilities but Replica was responsible for that role.

Q: Are there people who have resigned from Border? And is that possible?

A: There are times when Agents or staff leave Border due to career or family matters.

To quell confidential leaks, measures might or might not be taken to seal memories depending on the kind of person who’s leaving.

For instance, if Taichi is to leave, I think his memories will probably be sealed.

Q: What happens if you bail out inside Border HQ? Do you fly outside first and then fly back to HQ?

A: Inside the HQ base there are ducts for bailout use, so you will return to your operation room through those.

You don’t need to go outside.

Q: It’s said that Jin-san made ‘Scorpion’, but are there any conditions for an Agent to take part in Trigger development?

A: Kako-san talked a little about it in volume 14; when you become A-rank Agent, you can make requests with Engineers to customise your Trigger. Developing new Triggers is just an extension of that.

Q: Is there a large age difference between Utagawa-kun and his older sister?

A: It does seem like there is.

Q: Does Miwa have a sword or gun mentor?

A: He started using handguns as a countermeasure to getting beat up by Tachikawa, so in a way you can’t not say Tachikawa is his mentor.

Q: Is there anyone with a Side Effect among the Operators?

A: There is. I think I will get to draw it at some point.

Q: How is Starrmaker used during normal defence duty or in rank wars?

A: Mostly as a countermeasure for Stealth.

Even a graze will let you mark that section, and as long as it’s not cut off then you can make Chameleon or Bagworm inoperative for a time.

Its weaknesses are that it’s an all-purpose option so it can’t be used with FullAttack, and usually you defeat the enemy before they even get marked.

Q: In volume 8, if Chika did not temporarily connected with Osamu but Izumi, what would happen to the power of the Asteroid?

A: Because the fact that it’s Chika’s trion being used doesn’t change, I think the power would be the same as when Osamu fired.

If you are seeking power, then Osamu and Izumi holding hands will have the power looking it’s greatest.

Q: Who brought the Rilienthal stuffed toy that was in Osamu’s hospital room in volume 10? Was it Yoneya?

A: It’s a toss-up between Yoneya and Usami, but it feels like it was Yoneya.

Q: Were the snowmen in chapter 115 made by Ninomiya himself?

A: He made them industriously himself.

It was in plain sight of the commentating seats.

Q: Konami and Kitora go to the same school, so why are their uniforms different?

A: It’s the difference between the High School division and the Middle School division.

If Kitora enters the High school division then she would wear the same uniform as Konami.

Q: The boy’s uniform for the normal high school is a gakuran, right? Is the girl’s sailor fuku?

A: It’s sailor fuku.

White short sleeves in summer, navy long sleeves in winter, white long sleeves in spring and autumn.

Q: Please tell us the mental state of Kazama-san having been mistaken for a middle-schooler by Mikumo’s Mother.

A: ‘I thought Mikumo’s Mother was his sister myself, so we’re even.’

Some thoughts:

This explains why Aftokrator’s Black Triggers have their cloaks at least. Though I do wonder what the logic behind it is. Also, I have never actually seen a receiver on Jin during the short time we saw him with Fuujin to be honest, so I have no pictorial evidence.

Miwa started out as an Attacker. I wonder if this was during the time he was in Azuma squad? But also they have this kind of rivalry and Miwa didn’t realise until volume 3 that Tachikawa is similar to Jin and that’s why he doesn’t like him??

So an Operator with a Side Effect will show up at ‘some point’, which means he’s not talking about Yomi :O The obvious one would be Kusakabe who is both Operator and Captain, but World Trigger isn’t always obvious…after all, Shiki has 7 Trion, just as many as some of our other Side Effect holders.

I keep meaning to make a school uniform post at some point and then keep putting it off because we still haven’t seen the normal high school girl’s uniform or the prep school boy’s uniform yet. In any case the normal high school gakuran:

And while, like I said, no normal high school girl’s uniform yet, Usami’s middle school uniform is a sailor fuku so here as an example:
