Some of the valuable "art setting drawings" will be shown for the first time!

World Trigger" is popular for its realistic worldview that makes it seem as if Yushima and Osamu really exist.

The first three images released were of the "front street in front of the border headquarters," the "border base command headquarters (operation room)," and the "large room in front of the expedition boat hangar in the border headquarters," which is the main stage of the "Garopura" story. The details are set up in accordance with the storyline, and the anticipation of what kind of battles will unfold between the "Border" team members and Garopura on these stages is growing.

Comments】 ※敬称略略略 Original text

The entire staff is working hard to deliver a greatly upgraded version of the 2nd season, taking over the legacy left by the 1st season and fixing the inadequacies. We hope to deliver something that will satisfy the love of World Trigger fans who have waited 4 years and 9 months for this game.
Morio Hatano, Series Director

It took four and a half years to realize the broadcasting of the 2nd season of the anime. A lot of things really happened (laughs). However, the work does not end with the completion of the animated images, but is finally complete when you, the fans who have waited so long to see it, watch it. I hope you will run through "World Trigger 2nd Season" with the staff and cast. Producer Daichi Nagatomi
