Plot
In an ordinary small town in Japan, a tragic event takes place: a portal to another world opens, from where monsters begin to appear. The people of the city called them Neighbors. Uninvited guests began to destroy the population, the city gradually disappeared. After all, not a single earthly weapon could destroy the aliens.
The sudden appearance of an unknown group of people turned out to be the savior of the townspeople. They used the Neighbors’ weapons — triggers — to defend the Earth. After a while the organization “Border” was created with a separate huge building in the center of the city. Its employees monitor the situation in the city and protect the population from the attacks of the Neighbors…

4 years have passed since the first appearance of the monster in the city. We meet one of the main characters of the anime — Yuma Kuga. A foreign schoolchild gets into trouble on the very first day at school — classmates did not accept the newcomer, inviting him to a showdown in a restricted area. Osamu Mikumo was the only one to defend the newcomer. But the guy did not yet know what kind of power Kuga was endowed with and who he was…

Interesting Facts
- In September 2015, the first video game “World Trigger: Borderless Mission”, based on the manga “World Trigger”, was released in Japan. The game was created for the PlayStation Vita console. The video game “World Trigger: Smash Borders” was released in July 2015 for iOS and Android, and in February 2016 for the PlayStation Vita.
- All the names of the characters in translation from the Japanese language means something specific. For example, the name Osamu translates as “discipline” (and this describes the protagonist well), and Mikumo literally means “three clouds”.
- The first 2 seasons of the anime “WorTri” were created by different directors: season 1 — Mitsuru Hongo (“Seihou Bukyou Outlaw Star”, “Ascendance of a Bookworm“, etc.), season 2 — Morio Hatano (“Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac “and others).
