Meanwhile, another Shonen Jump anime is ending this month, and that would be World Trigger, which made its premiere back in October 2014.

The anime adaptation is currently in an original anime story arc/ filler arc called the Fugitive Arc, and the anime’s main story has now caught up to the manga’s story. With the anime’s story still having many questions left unanswered, many fans are hoping for a new run to continue the story in the future.
