Talented Elite Jin (実力派エリート迅, Jitsuryokuha Erīto Jin ?) is a oneshot created by Daisuke Ashihara. It is the second precursor to the World Trigger Manga series, the first of which is Trigger Keeper.
Summary[edit | edit source]
Characters in order of appearance[edit | edit source]
Major differences[edit | edit source]
- Instead of "Trigger", the Neighbors' technology is referred to as "Neighbor Craft".
- Jin is the protagonist rather than Osamu and Yūma, who are not seen in the manga.
- Masafumi Shinoda and Takumi Rindō don't exist, but Yōtarō has an older sister called Ruka and their surname is Shinoda.
- Additionally, Yōtarō is a combatant.
- Masamune Kido doesn't exist either, and Border's leader is Makoto Yuiga (similar to Makoto Chano and Takeru Yuiga). He also has a son called Tadashi, the leader of Base No. 7, who bears a resemblance to Takeru.
- Border's branches receive number designations instead of names, such as Base No. 7.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Was there a reason that spurred you to drawing a character with Jin’s personality?
A: When it turned into drawing this one-shot as a prototype for World Trigger, I wanted to set aside Yuuma and Osamu for serialisation feeling that using them in the one-shot would be a waste. So I asked Bapti-san if I could use a different protagonist, was given the OK, and so the story came to be about Jin, created to be a sempai character to Yuuma and Osamu. Rather than ‘let’s draw Jin’, I judged that Jin would be easier to draw. Compared to Yuuma and Osamu, Jin had an easy to understand character that was fitting for a one-shot, so it all worked out well.
