Chapter 23 ended with Commander Kido welcoming back the top ranking forces to Border Headquarters. With theses characters back, he would launch his plan for making Yūma Kuga’s Black Trigger his. Would he wait until they finish training, which would coincide with the launch of the Rank Wars or would he launch an attack immediately? For the sake of moving things in an action oriented direction, perhaps Daisuke Ashihara would go for the “interrupt them now” type of deal? If he did that, then we would no doubt be able to see Chika put to the test as well as Yuma display another round of expertise at fighting like he did with the Miwa Squad.

The new teams introduced continued to highlight one of the best aspects to Ashihara’s work. His character designs always feel fresh, unique, and attractive. Kei Tachikawa, Sōya Kazama , and Isami Tōma , all A-rank, possessed these traits and also had varying personalities to set them above and beyond our main characters. They seemed to be the type that would be committed to such a mission to ascertain the trigger and intercept Yūma, so seeing them in a positive light was a bit difficult. Yoneya and Kodera, of the Miwa Unit, made a return appearance for the fans they managed to gain. However, it was only one panel. They did aid in providing information on Kuga so it was not all in vain. This plot aspect was a bit surprising. While our protagonists were living it up and joking around, the A Rank’s here and Commander Kido planned to launch their assault immediately
