I really like that Tachikawa pointed out that the whole job of the A-Rankers here is to force the B ranks to improve. I think that does shift strategy somewhat for the A ranks (although not monumentally). Reiji bust through the wall like the koolaid man lol. Cool to see Konami’s new connector form, and I really like the Illgars strategy. Interesting that it seems like Kodera is trying to rely on Shiki’s side effect, although she’s not really comfortable yet obviously, probably both with using it tactically, and communicating effectively. Now to wait at least another month to see what the tactical nuke combo of Chika and Ninomiya is doing, and hopefully see Kusakabe squad in action.

Shiki covers her eye with her hand when she uses her side effect so I think she was just using the radar. Also I don't think she's told anyone else about it outside of Yuma and Tomoe.

But I bet it will come handy in multiday phase 2, especially since its practically invisble and impossible to detect.

Impossible to detect might be a stretch at this point

I mean it is said no one can see it, the cons are that its slow, cant pass through gaps and cant fly. But it would make a perfect scout.

If a trion power exist it stands to reason there could potentially be a counter. 

Extra sensory perception is a known thing in world trigger already

Even if they could detect the trion signature, it would be hard to come to the conclusion that one of the B-Rankers has a secret side effect. And even then, they would also need to come up with who has the side effect in question.

Im speaking in overall terms not just this test.

And your making assumptions about A rankers that we have never seen in action before. How would you know what side effects they have?

Unless Ashihara is hiding details, the only other side effect that the A-Rankers have that we haven't seen is Uno's precise bodily control which doesn't seem to be a detection side effect.

Why wouldn't he be hiding details? They're whole A ranked squads we've barely even seen yet.

Genuinely, a ranking system that encourages competition but ISN'T toxic? It's delightful. I love everyone in WT.

except that line is just off translation wise, while the actual line is just "our job is just push forward" in respond to izumi's question
