After a long break, Toei Animation returned with two additional small-sized seasons in 2021, with the same actors repeating their roles from the previous seasons. The anime world is now waiting to learn when Toei Animation intends to continue the series for a fourth season, which will premiere in 2019. Here’s all you need to know about the upcoming World Trigger Season 4 premiere and possible cancellation.
Will there be a fourth season of World Trigger?
The renewal of any anime is dependent on elements such as its popularity, the availability of source material, and the number of people who watch it on different platforms. When it comes to World Trigger, it is a very popular anime series all around the world. The first season, as well as the subsequent two seasons, garnered an overwhelmingly positive response from viewers. World Trigger Season 3 now has a fantastic rating of 8.34/10 on myanimelist.com, with approximately 15000 votes.
World Trigger Season 3 has garnered positive reviews from fans in numerous anime groups and forums. In fact, it is often regarded as the series’ strongest season to date. As a result, the popularity of World Trigger is not a concern that could prevent the show from being renewed for a fourth season. When it comes to the source material, the World Trigger anime is based on the same-named manga series published in Japan. To date, 213 chapters have been compiled in 24 volumes, for a total of 213 chapters. From Season 3 through Volume 22, the tale was altered. In the meanwhile, there are just two volumes (17 chapters) accessible for adaptation at this time.
Season 4 of World Trigger will conclude the B-Rank Wars storey arc before transitioning to the adaptation of the Expedition Selection Exam storey arc. A single season (12 to 14 episodes) of World Trigger necessitates the reading of approximately 25-30 manga chapters. As a result, there is a scarcity of source material at the moment. Furthermore, the manga author Daisuke Ashihara is currently dealing with various health problems. As a result, the pace of publication is slow.
When will the fourth season of World Trigger premiere?
According to Toei Animation’s official website as of January 30, 2022, the anime series has not been officially renewed for Season 4. However, World Trigger will be back for a new season in the following years, as previously said. The World Trigger Festival 2022 will take place on February 27, 2022, and it is probable that more information about the fourth season will be revealed. Tokyo Dome City Hall will host a special event in which the Japanese voice cast from the previous three anime seasons will perform.
When it comes to the release date, everything is dependent on the release module that Toei Animation chooses to adapt. There isn’t enough source material available right now. If the company intends to create a single season (12 to 14 episodes), we can expect World Trigger Season 4 to premiere in 2023, according to the studio.
In contrast, if the company intends to release additional episodes all at once or in a short period of time, we will have to wait a long time. The manga adaptation industry is now limited to only 17 chapters of the original manga. A two-course season would necessitate around 50 chapters. To catch up with the current pace, manga author Daisuke Ashihara will need at least two years to complete his work. World Trigger is now available for streaming on Crunchyroll, VRV, and Tubi TV, as well as Crunchyroll and VRV.
