How and Where to Watch World Trigger? A Complete Watch Order

World Trigger made the headlines as soon as it came out from its long hiatus. Season two and three rejuvenated WorTri fans with a much-needed dose of entertainment.

This anime beautifully shows the story of people living in a metropolis ravaged by creatures known as neighbors and how an organization defends those people using an energy source called trion.

World Trigger has only one TV series whose first two seasons have already finished airing, and the third one is currently ongoing since October 2021.

With no other movies or specials, this franchise is easiest to follow and experience while you awe at its awesome rank-battles.

Let me guide you through the correct watch order for this amazing franchise.

Conclusion

For World Trigger, there is no separate chronological order as you can start this anime according to the release order, i.e., the chronological order and the release order are the same.

Apart from the conventional story arcs adapted from the manga, the Fugitive arc is one particular arc that was initially intended to be a spin-off series but later got introduced into the main anime series as a filler arc or an anime exclusive story arc.

If you are thinking of skipping the Fugitive arc, knowing it to be a filler arc, then there’s a chance you might miss some excellent plot points and incredible fight scenes as this arc is shown in between the B-Rank Battles story arc.

World Trigger has been dramatically underestimated, and due to its long absence following the first season, many people seem to have forgotten about this fantastic anime. Despite its reviews and people’s critics, this is an anime worth your time and money.
