Shōhei Kodera/Plot

Background
During the First Large-Scale Invasion, his house was destroyed by a Trion Soldier.

Introduction Arc
Kodera hides in buildings alongside Narasaka near Yumite District Station in order to provide support for his squad by sniping Yūma, should he jump into the air. Narasaka is eventually talked out of this by Jin. After the event, Jin and Replica is seen leading Kodera and Narasaka out to confront the others.

Black Trigger Capture Arc
He and Yōsuke have been observing Yūma's habits (though Kodera does all the work). During the battle, he provides support by sniping Jin, though all of his attacks fail because of the latter's foresight.

Large-Scale Invasion Arc
During Midorikawa's 1.v.1. with Ranbanein, he remembers Yōsuke quoting Kodera following his loss against Yūma. He repeats the line to his opponent. Later Kodera makes an actual appearance (along with Narasaka and Tōma) supporting Izumi from long-range against Hyrein and successfully hitting him through the spaces between Alektor's conjured birds. Mira later interrupts them by summoning Rabbits to attack them.

After the battle, Usami tells Osamu that the three aforementioned snipers received an Excellent Distinguished Services award from Border for their contributions.

B-Rank Wars Arc
During Round 2's Middle Group Nigh Division battle, he offers impromptu commentary as an audience member.

He is among the group of Snipers sent to deal with the wave of Idras during the Galopoula Invasion. Along with his Squad, he watches the live commentary for the night session of B-rank Wars' Round 8.

Away Mission Test Arc
Kodera is chosen as one of eleven temporary captains for the test, leading four others in his care; Rokuta, Okudera, Miura, and Kitora. When explaining his picks, he admits to prioritizing mobility and trion efficiency for this line-up. Shortly after, his team begins investigating available data aboard the capsule environment. Partly due to Kodera placing a time limit on his team for the completion of the first special assignment, his team (Squad 5) is the quickest to complete the most assignments — at the end of Phase 1's first day, they are graded as 2nd place.
