No chapter in the month of August due to sensei's health—Instead, we got 20 new QnAs! They were posted by the Official World Trigger Twitter. Like all other Volume/Twitter QnAs, you can see them on the page Question Corner. I have copy-pasted the new ones below for your reading convenience. All of this is brand new lore as of August 2023! At least some of them will likely be included in the next volume releases (volume 27).
August 2023 Twitter QnAs
August 14th
Q. Does Osamu make any friends in Border?
A. Outside of Tamakoma, he seems to be good friends with Kikuchihara, Yuiga and Kitora. I think.[1]
Q. If Yūma were able to grow, how tall would he be?
A. I can't imagine Yuma being taller, but since Yugo, his father, seemed to be rather tall, he probably would have been too. About 175cm maybe?[2]
Q. Were all the students at prep high school from the affiliated middle school? (Are there any from outside it?)
A. About 20-30% are from outside it. I think Tsuji and some others took the entrance exam from public middle schools.[3]
Q. How did the current Miwa Squad form after the original Azuma Squad disbanded?
A. Tsukimi, who was worried about Miwa, followed after him and joined alongside Yoneya, who was still going solo at the time. They fought other squads for a while for a Sniper (Azuma's role) and got Narasaka. Kodera probably joined right after they made it to A-Rank.[4]
Q. Who was Narasaka's first pupil, Kodera or Akane?
A. They enlisted at the same time, but Kodera became an official combatant earlier than Akane, so he was probably first.[5]
August 15th
Q. Why was Konami in Old Border when she was so young?
A. Probably because she had a near encounter with people from the neighborhood when she was still small.[6]
Q. Who's the better Viper user, Nasu, who aligns multiple bullets when using Viper, or Izumi, whose bullets are all different?
A. Nasu uses her spatial awareness while Izumi uses his intuition/perception to draw trajectories, but because Izumi uses any type of bullet, it seems that Nasu is more famous as a Viper user.[7]
Q. What is the relationship between Inukai and Kuroe? When did they become friends?
A. After Kuroe beat Inukai, who started practicing using his sub trigger Scorpion, in a solo ranked match, they became friends.[8]
Q. Do the A-Rank members who are judging the away mission selection test also stay overnight?
A. Yes, they stay overnight in rented rooms at HQ. They work 8 hour shifts, each with an 8 hour break in between judging, defense duty and rest. It's quite black company.[9]
Q. How did Arashiyama and the others feel about Kakizaki leaving the squad 2 years ago?
A. Satori was genuinely disappointed. Tokki and Ayatsuji were also disappointed but thought 'maybe it's better this way'. Arashiyama thought and said "we'll be rivals from now on".[10]
August 16th
Q. Why did Kuruma join Border?
A. When Kuruma's parents decided to support Border, he wondered if there was anything he could do on the field, and so he joined.[11]
Q. Does Murakami learn every time he goes to sleep? I'm worried it will tire him.
A. It seems that when he sleeps he usually spends some of it without his Side Effect activating, so I think he'll be fine.[12]
Q. Does Yuiga participate in defense duty?
A. He used to skip it in the past, but now, under Izumi's guidance, he is participating properly. Izumi is keeping a good eye on Yuiga.[13]
Q. How many wins does Osamu have against Yuiga now?
A. Currently, it's 81 wins and 196 losses.[14] (Note: in Chapter 110 it was 48 wins and 152 losses).[15]
Q. In chapter 123, why did Kage call Kako "Phantom hag"? And doesn't Kako get angry at it?
A. Back in A-Rank, Kage was pretty screwed over by Kako, so he calls her that since he is pissed off by her fighting style. Kako doesn't get angry because she makes light of Kage.[16]
August 17th
Q. What are the birthdays of Tokieda's cats? And what do they like?
A. I don't know their exact birthdays as they are both shelter cats, but Arthur likes to cat kick cushions and stuffed animals, and Tomio likes watching TV with grandpa.[17]
Q. Before he became an Engineer, who was Terashima in a squad with? Was he the captain?
A. Before Raizo became an engineer, team combat wasn't all that popular, so Raizo did training and missions solo. If he had continued to be a combatant, it's possible he would have teamed up with Kazama or Suwa.[18]
Q. Was the entire brain transferred into Enedora's horns?
A. The personality and memory information that were backed up in the horns are now just connected to the Rad, so there is no brain anymore. The fact that Enedorad can think and talk is rather new technology based on the analysis data from (the tiny) Replica and is rather experimental.[19]
Q. What was the age gap between Kazama and his brother Shin? Were they close as brothers?
A. They are about 4 years apart. They seemed to get along well.[20]
Q. When did Tachikawa start using 2 swords?
A. The man himself says "I was born dual wielding".[21]
