So World Trigger is not about exorcising illegal immigrants?

No, it's about how you can be accepted anywhere as long as you pretend you're from Canada.

 

[Silverblade]

Then all Ashihara has to do is convince the SQ editorial he is from Canada too.

Speaking of WT, did Yamcha get stronger? I have dropped it a long time ago, he was the character I was mostly interested in, but the midget kept stealing all the spotlight.

"I'm from Canada."
"You got HORNS!!!"
"Everybody got horns in Canada."
"Oh really, well, welcome to Japan then, dear Canadian."

Osamu did got "better" as in "more useful". His Trion is still weak as **** but then again, only a couple months has passed and Ashihara goes the "he needs at least 2-3 years before he gets real good" way with him. Which I like, gives it a more realistic feel then the whole "here's something that makes you OP all of the sudden, have fun".

Man, I want the next chapter already! I wanna see Osamu and Yuuma paying Godzuma and co back for that terrible lose back then. >.<

It is a good idea of another alternate world series with a really long title: "I was supposed to suffer bullying by people from an alternate world, but I said that I was from Canada and everything is all right now." (異世界人からいじめるらしいけどカナダ人と言って、今大丈夫) or something like that. XD

 

[xzaizenx]

I miss World Trigger.

You are not alone Hopefully, it will come back soon...

Why not? This is actually a compliment, Canadians are loved and accepted by everybody. XD

Not according to South Park.

 

[Leoat12]

Not according to South Park.

South Park characters love anything at all? XD

 

[IHateAsta]

Not according to South Park.

and How I met your mother xD .

anyway reading KnY ch 26 now , good stuff there .

 

[Doughboy]

Demon's Plan chapter was very savage. It made Eutass a character of interest now. If he's shady or really on Boro and Salvia's side it doesn't matter. Salvia needs her screentime soon...

 

[Mawara]

Why not? This is actually a compliment, Canadians are loved and accepted by everybody. XD

So far I know, and by this I mean watching TV series like South Park, Family Guy, HIMYM and The Simpsons, mostly US-americans cant stand their neighbours from the north. Probably because most countries dislike the USA but love Canada.
So... Jealous much? xD
Met once a canadian. Really, really nice guy. Still feel bad, that I am not that nice. xD

The Promised Neverland keeps strong... I wonder if it will surpass My Hero Academia in sales with volume 1... People said at that time that My Hero Academia would surpass One Piece, but the sales had a quick pace decrease and now it is stuck...

I tried to defend the USA in many occasions because I had a good experience there, but to no avail. People really want to go to Canada instead of USA to study and all that. That's a shame...
Americans, I will never betray you guys, I tell you. XD

 

[IHateAsta]

Spoiler: KnY 44

The spider family arc was really good , even though I thought Rui would be a little stronger since she is one of the 12 moon demons or whatever , The Pillars group looks awesome even though I find it hard to tell if the person in the middle is male or female xD .

Call me a blind fanboy, but again, that is totally on the editors' fault. They should've perfectly known in advance that they would only be able to animate the first 3 volumes, which is arguably the weakest parts of the manga given those were merely its baby steps. Instead of waiting for this season, they rushed out its production. While it didn't suffer in quality, it did suffer in sales. Between this and Toriko's hype backlash, I am convinced they can't take care of their own properties well enough to save their own damn lives.

If season 2 doesn't give it the boost we hope for, I swear to god, I am tempted to set up a GoFundMe page so I can fly straight to Shueisha's HQ and give them a good smacking.

Being honest, I'm not even American, but I can tell being American just got loooooot harder than it ever has. Go and ask any tourist if they're American you'll be sure if they're one if they try to avoid the question and hightail it out of there.

I'm watching MHA's anime and it's crazy how much better it gets on the way... I saw a comment somewhere saying it's Naruto and Sky High together. The accuracy. favorite characters?

anyway reading KnY ch 26 now , good stuff there .

I just had a marathon of KnY from chapter 5 (that's where I stopped last) to now chapter 43.
I initially stopped because the art was different(not in a bad way but still required more effort to understand and appreciate it) and I knew I had to invest more time to get used to art before I can continue forward. I'm glad I did since I'm thoroughly enjoying this series now.
I really like how the funny bits are sprinkled all over so that it's not overdone but it also helps the series be more approachable and not be too dark or serious.

It's a solid adaptation. The only thing I didn't like was the pacing, but maybe it's different for people who haven't read the manga. My favourite characters are Izuku, All Might, and Todoroki.
