The release date for Season 3 Episode 13 has been set on January 8, 2022, during the Winter 2022 anime season. The release date for World Trigger Season 3 Episode 14 has likewise been set on January 15, 2022. The third season will conclude with Episode 14, which is World Trigger Episode 99 in the entire anime TV series. As a result, World Trigger Season 4 will be the fourth season of the anime television series. On December 23, 2021, the official World Trigger Twitter account made the announcement.
“The anime World Trigger’s third season’s final broadcast date has been scheduled for Saturday, January 15th! In January of next year, the broadcast will continue for a while! Don’t miss the anime’s third season, which is set to reach its conclusion!” The release date for World Trigger Season 3 Episode 12 is still set for December 26, 2021, as anticipated. The announcements in World Trigger Episodes 98 and 99 were unexpected.
The first 12 episodes will be published in two Blu-Ray volumes and four DVD volumes, according to the official website. The release date for Episodes 13 and 14 on Blu-ray has yet to be determined. The official website initially featured just 12 episodes for World Trigger Season 3. As a result, it came as a shock when the third season was extended by two episodes. This isn’t the first time the World Trigger anime TV series’ episode count has been altered. According to the official Toei Animation website, the second season was planned to conclude in 13 episodes, but in April 2021, the second season was officially modified to just 12 episodes, and a third season was announced.
Why was World Trigger Season 3 Episode 14 required?
The anime series’ plot is based on writer and artist Daisuke Ashihara’s World Trigger manga series.
The third season needs a huge conclusion to bring the B-Rank Wars storey arc to a close in order for it to seem thematically complete. Toei Animation’s concern was that the final match for Tamakoma-2 spanned Chapters 185 through 195. Only World Trigger Season 3 Episode 12 could finish the last battle in a respectable manner because World Trigger Season 3 Episode 11 ended by adapting up to Chapter 186.
The only alternatives without these two more episodes were to rush the climax or leave anime viewers waiting with a cliffhanger ending situated in the middle of the climactic fight. With the inclusion of World Trigger Season 3 Episodes 13 and 14, the third season should end with manga Chapter 195/196, which is an excellent place to terminate. After that, World Trigger 4 will wrap up the B-Rank Wars storey arc before moving on to the Expedition Selection Exam storey arc. Keep an eye out!
