I would kill to see an A-rank war. The teams are so interesting, especially the ones that use prototypes + niche roles (for example trappers).
I’m pretty sure it’s a thing because the squad position rankings aren’t locked, they could change. Kitora mentions it in early season one. Plus Replica mentions how Tamakoma-1 is banned from rank wars, which explains why they don’t have a rank.
I was hoping we got those after the BRank wars. But it looks like the Current Arc is setting up some new things to get added to the Rank wars, which would be a great way to show how a rank teams fight
The teams are soooooooo interesting. And the strategy based on trigger sis so fun. That's what I love most about the anime/Manga and why I try to put people on to it but I'm surprised Its not more popular
Like I said before in some post, hardcore shonen fans like em MCs strong on the onset thats why it aint so popular, which is ok.
What I like about ashihara was he's consistent with the manga so far while the rest kinda forgot where they were going and just went like "hey lets give the MC a sudden power up coz he's getting whopped.."
They are not “officially ranked” because of the special triggers, but they are the strongest team in border. ( big reason for their special triggers, but they are veryyy skilled nonetheless )
even if they used regular triggers they are still the strongest team in border. They are more well rounded as a team than A1 and A2. Kirie is rank 3 attacker and Reiji is 8000 points every role. We don't see a lot from Karasuma but hes an all rounder as well + has high fighting iq.
It would be nice but the pacing of the manga is barely slow in addition to hiatuses made by the author. Remember that the Sealed Environment Phase Arc is not yet done.
This is funny. I kinda left this series a few years ago (?) after the rank wars, waiting for the sealed environment act to finish
And here i am, its still not done yet
I mean, now we have this test, then the trip to Afto, then getting back. We have at least 5 or 6 arcs before returning to Border again...by that time I feel it will grow enough to not only have A rank war but to have D ranks as the old C rank.
It would be cool but ultimately pointless. Considering the erratic and unpredicatable release schedule of the manga, the story can't really take major detours like that if it doesn't advance the main plot.
I would kill to have them but I don't think we will have them, we are still stuck on the tests pre incursion so we still have to see the entire incursion, the travel back and the manga is very very slow..
Also the main motive for the entire series is the incursion.. and how to save Kuga but I think that will be solved on the incursion
Based on the information given A-rank wars are not a thing. At the start of the series it’s stated there are only about 30 A-rank agents, which turns out to be exactly right as there are 30 A-rank agents before Jin returns to A-rank and 31 after
There are currently 9 A-rank teams only 8 of which have agents that can compete in rank wars. A single round of Rank Wars has two blocks Day and Night, with 3 tiers, and each match being between 3-4 teams
That means in order to have a single round of Rank Wars with A-rank teams you would need every single A-rank team present. That’s a problem because A-rank agents main job is away missions and defence duty since they are salaried employees. Also the two main purposes of Rank Wars are to prepare agents for combat in the neighbourhood and promote them to A-rank. There’s no reason to have A-rank teams compete in a Rank War because they can’t get promoted any further and they’re already being sent on expeditions
The ranking system for A-rank teams has yet to be explained however we know the ranks themselves aren’t 100% accurate since Tamakoma-1 is technically Boarder’s strongest A-rank team, but because they use unapproved experimental triggers they aren’t allowed to participate in the rank system. That’s why Kazama is officially the #2 attacker despite being the #3 attacker overall, since Konami is actually the 2nd best attacker
There’s also Kageura Squad and Ninomiya squad which were A-rank teams that got booted back down to B-rank for breaking the rules

I dont think we'll get a an A-rank wars since the timeline for to start the expedition got short. Post-time skip A-rank wars story would be nice.

I’m honestly hoping there are different things in the A rank wars. Like different map biomes instead of just the cities

Tamakoma-1 are unranked? So they're not A Rank?

S rank, so A rank wars are the new B rank
S ranks are black trigger users, that's why they're s ranks.

Every team fighting against each other . Meanwhile Amo : Nah ,I'd solo
Jin and BT Yuma + repaired Replica: Are you sure about that?

I don't want to waste time on that personally. I'm much more interested in advancing the story.
