Osamu/Katori! Please!

Of course!

After their first encounter in the Rank Wars the pair wanted nothing to do with each other and made a point to stay out of each other's paths. When walking around headquarters the pair would go down different hallways when they saw each other (well, Osamu would as Katori just stared at him from across the hallway).

When the pair were put together during the simulated Away Ship, Osamu was prepared to experience some form of verbal abuse and Katori instantly questioned Suwa as to why he put the two together.

To both of their surprise they didn't hate each other as much as they thought they did. Katori bit her tongue and didn't say anything rude while Osamu was surprisingly friendly and less of a nuisance than Katori thought.

Katori was a good cook, everyone on the Away Ship knew that by day 2, and they also found that Katori had a soft spot for compliments. The first time Katori cooked in the morning Suwa had told her she did a good job with a pat on the head and she burst into flames and ran into her room. It didn't have quite the same effect when Osamu complimented her cooking the next day but he did see a hint of pink on her cheeks.

When it was time for Katori and Osamu to share a room on the away ship she didn't freak out as much as she did hearing her and Oki had to share, but she had her complaints. When they turned off the lights the two talked for a bit about family and why they each wanted to go to the Neighborhood.

After talking throughout the test and during the 2nd phase they gained a mutual respect for each other and after the test they joined with their squadmates to eat at a local Ramen place, the pair eating on their own afterwards.

Despite her hotheaded nature Katori was caring in her own way, handing Osamu napkins when something dripped down his chin and insisting on grabbing the food for everyone when it was ready. She claimed she was just being polite, but even her squadmates eyed her suspiciously when she did.

Osamu felt himself getting happier when they hung-out, casually teasing her and her abrasive nature. He was smiling more and more when they hung out.

For Katori she eventually confessed her crush internally, but her pride would never let her say it out loud (despite everyone around her knowing including Osamu).

[Fic] Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice [Somei/Katori]

Title: Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

Pairing: Somei Hana/Katori Youko

Summary: Katori learns to make chocolate. The situation is blown out of proportion.

Author’s Note: I keep forgetting to crosspost my fic here. This was originally written for Valentine’s Day, and uses a lot of cultural cues from Japanese Valentine’s Day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_Day#Japan

AO3 Mirror

There was a claim that nothing moves gossip faster than an academic institution, especially one populated by teenagers.

As proof, Katori Youko was witnessed sidling into the classroom of 3-A 10 minutes before homeroom - an unheard of action for a freshman, and especially unheard of for Katori who spent her time in school like she was above it all, engaging in a fervent whispered conversation with Kon Yuka - voted best cook in both her year level and 18-year-old Border members, and then leaving with a stubbornly determined look on her face.

By lunchtime, the news had trickled down to the first years and Shiki found herself surrounded by her female classmates the moment Katori waltzed out the door of Class 1-E.

Shiki stayed silent despite the expectant gazes, waiting for them to make the first move. Except the initiative was stolen by the ruckus across the room instead.

A much larger crowd was gathered around Koarai’s desk, and making enough noise that Shiki could hear every word.

“She was asking about making chocolates!!” One particularly desperate sounding boy shook Koarai by one shoulder.

“Honmei chocolates!!” Another desperate sounding boy shook Koarai by his other shoulder.

A third boy was waving a small desk calendar in Koarai’s face, as if he wasn’t aware that Valentine’s Day was a week away.

“So?” Koarai asked, obviously confused.

“You’re both Border, aren’t you?” One of the desperate sounding boys said accusingly, as if it meant something. “Who is it??”

“Is it someone in Arashiyama squad?”

“A sempai in the school?”

“Karasuma?!”

“Does our idol already have someone!?”

Shiki could have lived her life without knowing that someone viewed Katori as their idol.

One of the girls in front of Shiki smiled ruefully. “I think you know what our question is.”

Shiki sighed. “Does it matter?”

It was a different girl who answered. “Aren’t you curious? Katori-san always looks like she doesn’t care about anyone, and yet here she is, making chocolates for Valentine’s Day.”

Maybe being in Border together did mean something, because Shiki already knew Katori did care - deep, deep, down inside - and that was enough for her in a way that was clearly not enough for the rest of their classmates.

Shiki shrugged her shoulders uncomfortably. “Does it matter?” she asked again, but no one was willing to budge. With no other choice left to her, Shiki threw her sempai under the bus. “Why would I know anything? If anyone knows, wouldn’t it be her teammates?”

“Are you expecting us to bother the sempai with this?” One of the girls tried to look scandalised, but Shiki knew she bothered the sempai all the time, with matters much smaller than this even.

Shiki - and Koarai - were finally set free from their classmates with Katori’s re-entrance into the classroom, a sandwich dangling in one hand. Unfortunately, a glance at all the message notifications on her phone told Shiki she was far from being free of the matter itself. She wished people would stop expecting her to know everything about Katori just because they were classmates.

As further proof of the claim, the whole story had already spread to Rokueikan by the very next day, and not all of it caused by Border members gossiping amongst themselves even.

But, when it came down to it, Katori was a girl from another school, it wasn’t enough to keep the attention of a prep school focused on the upcoming exams, except among Border members.

Kodera looked over at Somei’s desk, where most of the prep school operators had gathered - including Usami, chatting cheerfully amongst themselves. Kodera turned his eyes away from Usami, forcing down the blush that burned his cheeks, and focused on Somei. She had the same blank look on her face as the one she wore when the crowd around her had been normal classmates - the few who knew enough about Border to know about Katori and cared enough to approach Somei about it. The whole situation didn’t seem to be affecting her nearly as much as it affected the people at the other high school - at least from the complaints Kodera had been aware of: from Koarai in the chat group they shared, from Wakamura that he heard from Narasaka who heard from Arafune who heard from Inukai, even Miura had been less than his usual accepting self according to the testimonials of multiple Attackers. Kodera had a lot of pride in his data collecting skills.

But there were always gaps, people who refused to participate - people like Somei. Kodera was convinced that Somei knew who Katori was planning on giving chocolates to. If anyone did, it was her. But Somei would never tell. Even if it didn’t matter, Somei kept quiet and let people make their own assumptions.

One thing Kodera was certain of was that the chocolates weren’t for Karasuma. When he had gathered up the courage to ask her about it at lunch - since Karasuma had been the most likely possibility, Somei had smiled - a small quirk of her lips - and said, “do you think so?” The look in her eyes told Kodera she didn’t think it was Karasuma, and if Somei didn’t think it was Karasuma then it wasn’t Karasuma. It was that simple.

This, unfortunately, left the question of who. He wasn’t getting any more hints from Somei, he knew that, which meant he would have to gather his intel from somewhere else. Kodera ran through his sources, who hadn’t yet commented on the occasion? Who might know something - even if they themselves didn’t know what they knew? Who was in a position to find out?

Unconsciously, Kodera started planning out the logistics like one of the strategy problems Tsukimi would set him up with. It was no longer about Katori - it never really was - instead, there was a puzzle for Kodera to solve, even if he didn’t care what the answer was.

By the time Valentine’s Day arrived, the rumour mill was in overdrive and Class 1-E’s anticipation was through the roof as everyone hoped to see the fruits of Katori’s training with Kon. And because the teachers at Mikado First Municipal High School valued a good bout of festivities just like anyone else, the Home Economics teacher turned all of her lessons on Valentine’s Day into chocolate-making tutorials. For everyone.

But Class 1-E was destined to be heavily disappointed as their Home Ec. class began with Katori sitting around and playing with some of the unused equipment while the rest of the group did the actual work, glaring at her resignedly.

Koarai might have disassociated himself from Katori and whatever she was planning for Valentine’s Day to keep the gossipers at bay, but he had fought her often enough in the rank wars to know her personality through and through. He could have told them that she wouldn’t be making honmei chocolate on the day in front of everyone else. If Katori did make chocolates, it would have been by herself, so that no one could see her mess up or expend effort on something that actually mattered to her. If Katori did make chocolates, it would already be wrapped - perfectly - and hidden in her bag for her to give when she chose before she even got to school today.

Finally fed up, the teacher walked up to Katori with a stern expression. Katori, however, merely flipped her hair lazily, clearly not taking the teacher seriously. Her voice rose sharply, clearly audible even from where Koarai was. “Well, what if I’m not giving Valentine’s Day chocolate? Are you going to force everyone to participate even if they don’t have anyone to give to? All those poor girls having to either reveal that they have no one to give chocolates to or fake making chocolate and then having to eat it themselves! It’s public humiliation!” Katori did not sound like she was feeling sorry for anyone at all.

“You always have to make a smart comeback, don’t you,” the teacher replied wearily, not at all cowed by Katori’s words. “All we are doing is making chocolate, whether you are giving them to anyone as honmei chocolate on Valentine’s Day is up to you. I don’t see anything wrong with giving it as obligation chocolate, friend chocolate, or eating it yourself, do you?” Not giving Katori a chance to reply, the teacher continued in the same tone of voice, “Now I want to see your hands moving if you don’t want to be penalised.”

Katori didn’t seem in the mood to continue the fight, grabbing baking paper and spreading it out roughly with a sharp pout on her face. It was apparently enough for the teacher though, turning away with a nod of satisfaction.

Koarai turned his attention back to the chocolate his group was supposed to be making as everyone else also stopped paying attention to Katori now that they were sure she wasn’t going to do anything interesting.

Around him, Koarai could hear the disappointment of his classmates that, whatever she had been up to with Kon, it didn’t seem to be actually making Valentine’s Day chocolates. Koarai ignored them. He had been receiving obligation chocolates from Hitomi for the last ten years, and this time he was going to give her something in return. And to do that he had to make sure these chocolates were edible. There was no time to wonder about what Katori was or wasn’t doing.

Meanwhile, in contrast, matters have quieted down to almost nothing on the prep school side. Somei had been privy to the same complaints as the rest of Border from those who attended the other high school on the ridiculous heights the grapevine was reaching on the simple matter of Valentine’s Day chocolates. But Katori was enjoying all the attention, and that was good enough for her.

Feeling eyes on her from the front of the classroom, Somei turned that way, keeping her face blank. Kodera looked back at her undaunted. He was the only one in prep school who was still paying attention, though it was obvious by this point that he didn’t really care about who Katori was giving chocolates to - Kodera would probably be more interested in knowing who Usami was giving chocolates to, if she hadn’t already announced to everyone days ago that she’s giving obligation chocolates to every official Border member at the school. It was the puzzle for him, the thrill of solving the mystery.

Not that it was much of a mystery. Katori had been unusually silent on the matter even to Somei, when usually Somei would have been the first to know - and maybe even roped into helping Katori make the chocolates. But this time, not only did Katori not come to her, she hadn’t even told Somei about them. It had been a bit of a rude awakening to learn along with everyone else at prep school that Katori was planning on making chocolates after the fact. But that was also how Somei realised who Katori must be making them for.

Somei did not believe in false modesty, she knew she was intelligent in her ability to see patterns and make connections, it was obvious that if Katori was changing her habits just to hide this from Somei, then the chocolates were probably for-

“Somei-san,” the girl who sat next to Somei said, pointing to the window beside her, “I think you have a visitor.”

Somei peered out the window. Class was already over for the day, dotting the school grounds with students leaving, but as a prep school the number of students who remained to catch up on work, to prepare for the next day, or to participate in club activities far outnumbered those who left. Even Somei’s own classroom was still half full of students even excluding her and Kodera. This was why Katori’s lone figure at the front gates stood out even at a glance. Some early cherry trees were blooming already, a stunning backdrop that lent a story-like quality to the scene, as if Katori was the protagonist of a movie. Katori was very suited to be the protagonist of a movie.

The sky was starting to darken as Katori led Somei to a small park near the Forbidden Zone. It was a sad little park, with just a single rusted slide, two rocking horses that no longer moved, and an abandoned air that betrayed its neglect. That and the location meant it was empty at all times, and the sunset gave the surroundings a romantic flair that Katori had made a lot of effort to ensure. Effort that was going to go to nothing if she messed this up. Katori gulped.

Somei, who always knew Katori better than she knew herself, turned expectantly when Katori stopped in her tracks, her usual blank look on her face.

Sick of her own anxiety and uncomfortable with the unfamiliarity of it, Katori plunged a hand unceremoniously into her bag and said, “Here. For you.”

Somei received the well-wrapped package solemnly, not a hint of surprise on her face. “Thank you.”

Katori kicked lightly at a small rock between them. “You’re welcome, I guess,” she mumbled, feeling weirdly disheartened. She had known Somei wouldn’t react, she knew her that well, but it still felt discouraging.

Katori could feel Somei’s gaze on her, but something inside her didn’t want to look up. Katori's cheeks were shamefully hot. She wasn’t sure she liked the feeling.

There was a light crinkling of wrapping paper and the quiet crunch of chocolate being bitten into. “It tastes very good.”

It was as if a weight that Katori didn’t know had been stuck in her chest had suddenly fell away. She looked up. “Of course! I made it!” Everyday after school at Suzunari branch, she didn’t say, until it was perfect.

Somei smiled. “Of course,” she repeated, and placed another chocolate in her mouth.

Katori smiled too, feeling like she was floating off the ground, like everything was right in the world again. She didn’t know why she was so worried. As if there was ever any possibility of it going wrong. She made those chocolates herself after all. Katori looked Somei straight in the eyes. “You’re supposed to return three times as much on White Day, you know.”

Somei blinked slowly, and nodded. “I see,” she said seriously. “Understood.”

The setting sun was lined up perfectly behind her, casting a hazy glow over Somei’s features and dazzling Katori’s eyes. It made her look ethereal, as if she was out of Katori’s reach. But Somei always had lived in a different world, one that contemplated difficult matters and planned for a future Katori didn’t understand. It didn’t matter. They didn’t need to live in the same world, not as long as Somei was willing to meet her halfway.

Katori leaned forward, her eyes open, watching as Somei did the same. Their faces were close enough that Katori could see every imperfection in her skin, every hue of colour in her eyes; undeniable proof that Somei existed right there in front of her. Their lips met in the middle. It tasted of melted chocolate.

World Trigger Ch191 ‘Yuba Squad 4′ Translation

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

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…

Obishima: Mikumo-sempai’s Spider…!

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

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

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

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

Farewell Event Day 40 - Katori Youko

Oh, Katori.

Katori: I heard from Hana, you’re leaving the prefecture, right, Commander?

Katori: You can go if you want...but don’t you have something to say to me?

Katori: ...What’s with that vacant look on your face. Do you really not know? That pisses me off

Katori: Ahh, jeez, I’m pissed...! Have a match with me! I’m going to beat up your team

Katori: Mogyaaaaa! Why did you win!? Commander, you idiot! I’m so pissed!

Wakamura: Oi, hey, Youko! Why are you picking a fight with the Commander!

Katori: Shut up! It doesn’t have anything to do with you, Rokurou! I’m not even in the wrong! The Commander’s in the wrong leaving without saying anything!

Wakamura: Huh...!? Why do they have to inform you just for going on a mission

Katori: Usually you would! We’ve been together all this time, haven’t we! I can’t believe they weren’t going to say anything!

Wakamura: Then you say something! Don’t make the Commander play by your rules!

Miura: There, there, Rokkun. Youko-chan must have been feeling lonely. She must have wanted to know about the mission the most

Miura: But, Youko-chan, there isn’t much time left. It’ll be a waste to spend it fighting

Katori: I know that...that’s why I’m pissed off

Katori: There’s no time, that’s why I want to spend more of it together! Don’t you even understand something as simple as that!? Commander, you idiot! I’m really pissed!

Wakamura: Sigh~...you~~~...well, I do get how you feel

Miura: That’s right, that’s right~ Youko-chan! I agree with Youko-chan~

Katori: Wait! Why are you acting all composed!? And you, Commander! Are you actually repenting!? I’m still angry, you know!?

Katori: Mogyaaaaa!! Jeez! What’s with you guys!? I’m so pissed!

Oh, Katori. They’re just smirking at you because you’re acting so childish.

World Trigger Volume 18 Extras Part 2

Second part of the volume 18 extras and this should be everything. I know I haven’t been around the last couple of months (Touken Ranbu ate my life...I don’t even understand myself why I’m spending so much time on a sword collecting game...but they’re all so cute...) but I’ll try to use this chance to post more, like some of the asks in my inbox that I can actually answer (so ones that aren’t just gonna be me going ‘I don’t know’).

First the Mini-profiles:

Some notes: Naniwa is the old name for Osaka, hence why Ashihara pointed it out; the phrase ‘____ of Naniwa’ itself is a bit of a meme. Here’s a link to Wikipedia’s article of beta-carotene because it’s all science to me. And a link to rakugo. I don’t understand anything from Oki’s profile either. Kai’s Kewpie is a joke based on his Ouji Squad icon (and his hairstyle) just like Mizukami. And finally, both Tokyo University and Kyoto University are really good schools.

Next, I’ve already posted the results of the popularity poll, but the volume version has useful notes on whether a character has gone down or up, and the titles are funny too (though I can’t promise I can translate them well...)

1st Place - Mikumo Osamu: The immovable Four-eyes

2nd Place - Konami Kirie: Complains quite a lot but is no.2

3rd Place - Jin Yuuichi: Loves the rooftops

4th Place - Kuga Yuuma: Haven’t used his Black Trigger recently

5th Place - Izumi Kouhei: Nom nom munch munch

6th Place - Kazama Souya: Understated performance

7th Place - Miwa Shuuji: Loves BBQ

8th Place - Arafune Tetsuji: Guarding his butt from dogs

9th Place - Azuma Haruaki: The BBQ evangelist

10th Place - Hus: Wants to go home

11th Place - Amatori Chika: Makes things heavy machine

12th Place - Tachikawa Kei: Chopping machine

13th Place - Katori Youko: Complaining machine

14th Place - Satori Ken: Sparkling machine

15th Place - Nasu Rei: Riddling things full of holes machine 15th Place - Ninomiya Masataka: Snowmanchine

Everyone below this doesn’t get a title so I’m not going to post the rest, but I did translate Ashihara’s commentary:

Thank you to everyone who participated in the popularity poll.

How did you find the results of this Second Popularity Poll now that the number of characters has almost doubled?

The popularity poll last time used the system of ‘voting for 3 people on one postcard’, but the same kind of popularity poll was being carried out in other serialising works at the time and the person counting the votes had a nervous breakdown (due to all the votes) apparently, so this time the system became ‘Application Ticket Style’ and ‘voting for 1 person on one postcard’.

Despite that, we received 14433 votes, and I am a little worried whether the person counting the votes really managed to take it easy. Also, there were multiple people who bought several copies of Shounen Jump and volume 15 to vote, so I am considerably worried about the circumstances of the fans’ wallets too.

This time, we did a ‘Single Vote Version Tally’ that removed the extreme multiple votes again, and in that version First was Osamu, Second was Yuuma, Third was Jin, Fourth was Kazama-san, Fifth was Izumi, Sixth was Konami, Seventh was Miwa, Eighth was Arafune, Ninth was Chika, and Tenth was Ninomiya…was how it went.

What catches my eye is the man who ranked in at 8th place in both the multiple votes and the single votes, Arafune Tetsuji, who isn’t all that strong a character and doesn’t have that much involvement with the protagonists either, so why is he so popular? He’s more popular than Hus and Tachikawa, you realise? That’s right, in the Valentine’s Tally he also ranked around this place…. Could there were a lot of people who found themselves drawn in by Arafune’s macho-ish scheme? Perhaps people want to support characters whose ideologies are visible, or characters who are focused on the future and doing their best in the present.

Thank you for all the votes!

Finally, the corrections from the magazine chapters. In chapter 152:

Osamu’s thoughts have been changed from ‘This landscape…’Urban Area A’…!’ to ‘Kuga and Chika are on the opposite side...!’

Since the MAP is revealed before transmission occurs (in previous matches) this change removes the contradiction with previous matches.

Chapter 158:

The Kochi Kame eyebrows have been removed (understandably), since the people who just read the manga volumes won’t know about the project.

Chapter 155:

When Mizukami said ‘Asteroid’ but was actually shooting Meteora. Yuuma’s eyes have now been fixed to show that his Side Effect did pick up on Mizukami’s lie. 

Several scenes now have Bagworms removed or on the verge of disappearing to adhere better to the two triggers at a time rule.

Ch152:

Ch155:

Ch156:

I think that’s all the major changes.
