World Trigger (Japanese: ワールドトリガー Hepburn: Wārudo Torigā?), also known in short form as WāTori (ワートリ?), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Daisuke Ashihara, and serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump since February 2013. An anime adaptation of the series produced by Toei Animation started airing on 5 October 2014.
- Plot
In Mikado City (三門市 Mikado-shi?) (280 000 inhabitants), a "gate" to a different world is opened suddenly one day. Monsters called "Neighbors" (近界民（ネイバー） Neibā, lit. "Near-world people"?) start appearing from it, everyone is afraid of them because Earth's weapons don't work against them, but a mysterious group starts fighting off the Neighbors. They, the "Border" defense agency, create a defense system against the Neighbors. Since then, regardless of the Neighbors still emerging from the gates, people of Mikado City were living normally today. Four and a half years after the gate is opened for the first time, Yūma Kuga (空閑 遊真 Kuga Yūma?), a humanoid Neighbor, comes to Mikado City, where he meets Osamu Mikumo (三雲 修 Mikumo Osamu?), a Border agent.

Yūma Kuga (空閑 遊真 Kuga Yūma?)
Voiced by: Junko Minagawa (vomic), Tomo Muranaka (anime)
He has a laid back attitude, and isn't very knowledgeable of Japanese customs, leading him into confusions with the wrong people. When he was 11, he and his father Yūgo Kuga (空閑 有吾 Kuga Yūgo?) were on a war in the Neighbor world, lending their power to an old friend of his father. In an occasion where his father told him not to follow him, Yūma disobeyed his father, sneaking into battle, which caused his death. His father, finding his dying son, sacrificed his life to create a Black Trigger (黒(ブラック)トリガー Burakku Torigā?) to revive Yūma. His guardian, Replica, told him to go to the Human world and see if Border could find a cure to his condition (though he wanted to bring his father back instead), only to find out they didn't know the answer either. In chapter 33 he officially joined Border as an C-Class attacker in Mikumo Unit. As he explained, he's what they actually call a "Neighbor", and the creatures that have been attacking the human world are actually "Trion Soldiers", drones created to perform different tasks. He received the nickname "C-Class White Devil" (C級の白い悪魔 C-kyū no Shiroi Akuma?) due to his white hair and ferocity in battle. Despite his young appearance, he is 15 years old.
Osamu Mikumo (三雲 修 Mikumo Osamu?)
Voiced by: Ryōta Ōsaka (vomic), Yūki Kaji (anime)
A Border agent with low Trion level. He is usually referred as simply "Four Eyes" by people outside the Mikumo unit. He later promoted into B-Class Border and later became a Shooter and the leader of Mikumo Unit. He became Chika's protector after her older brother (and his tutor) disappeared mysteriously, and joined Border in order to be better able to protect her, but the examiner suggested him o become an Engineer or Operator, due to his low trion. Unable to accept this, he imprudently tried to infiltrate Border's headquarters and negotiate with them, but he was almost attacked by a Bamster, which was destroyed by Jin. He befriended Yūma after he was transferred to his school. He is 15 years old.
Chika Amatori (雨取 千佳 Amatori Chika?)
Voiced by: Nao Tamura (anime)
A girl with huge trion level, which "attracts" Trion Soldiers towards her. Her brother Rinji and friend were captured by the neighbor, and tired of running away and looking for a way to rescue them, she joins Border as a C-Class Sniper in Mikumo Unit. She purposely keeps herself away from others because she is afraid she'll cause them to be captured by Neighbors and she doesn't want to get hurt. She also has a side effect that allows her to feel the presence of Trion Soldiers and hide her presence from them. Izumi labeled her as "Tamakoma's Trion Monster" (玉狛のトリオン怪獣 (モンスター) Tamakoma no Torion Monsutā?), due to her huge amount of trion. She has short hair styled in a bowl cut, with an cowlick in the middle. She is 13 years old.
Replica (レプリカ Repurika?)
Voiced by: Yūichi Iguchi (vomic), Hideyuki Tanaka (anime)
Yūma's guardian, created by his father to protect Yūma and teach him right from wrong. He has information on various countries that Yūma and his father visited. He was the one who told Yūma to come to the human world. Replica told Osamu Yūma's story, and asked him to give Yūma a new goal.
Yūichi Jin (迅 悠一 Jin Yūichi?)
Voiced by: Toshiki Masuda (vomic), Yūichi Nakamura (anime)
Yūichi is an A-Class Solo Attacker (originally S-Class) at Border with precognitive powers. He is a very friendly and carefree person. He is a self-proclaimed "Talented Elite", but his skills and strategies in battle are more than enough to back up his overconfidence. His mother was killed by Neighbors but despite that, he doesn't hate Neighbors, as he has been to the Neighbor World and knows not all Neighbors are evil. He was the one who invited Yūma to join Border. Like Yūma's father, his mentor Sōichi Mogami (最上 宗一 Mogami Sōichi?) sacrificed his own life to create a Black Trigger, which Yūichi competed for, and later gave it away so that Yūma could officially join and be recognized as a Border agent by Headquarters. He is 19 years old.
