World Trigger Anime REBOOT Project Announced After 11 Years

Eleven years after first premiering, the World Trigger anime is getting a second chance. The official anime account announced on December 4, 2025, that a "REBOOT Project" is in the works, accompanied by a stunning teaser visual and 15-second promotional video.

The teaser visual features protagonist Yuma Kuga in his Black Trigger form, dashing through the streets of Mikado City at dusk. His confident smile and the swirling energy around him signal that Border's most powerful rookie is ready to take on the Neighbors once again.

The Gate Opens Once More

"The gate from another dimension, once again" reads the tagline accompanying the announcement. While specific details remain under wraps, the project's title suggests this could be a complete remake of the original 2014 anime series—a prospect that has fans excited.

The first World Trigger anime from Toei Animation premiered in October 2014 and ran for 73 episodes across two seasons. Despite the manga's compelling strategic battles and rich world-building, the anime adaptation faced criticism for inconsistent animation quality and pacing issues that made it difficult for newcomers to appreciate the series.

Why Fans Want a Remake

World Trigger tells the story of interdimensional invaders called "Neighbors" who threaten the city of Mikado through mysterious portals called Gates. The defense organization Border, equipped with special weapons called Triggers, stands as humanity's only protection. What sets the series apart is its emphasis on tactical team combat and strategic thinking over raw power levels.

The manga by Daisuke Ashihara, which began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2013, has earned a devoted following for its intricate battle systems and character development. However, the 2014 anime's production constraints led many to feel the adaptation didn't do justice to the source material.

Seasons two and three, which aired in 2021, showed significant improvement in animation quality and pacing, giving fans hope that a proper remake of the earlier material could finally showcase the series at its best.

Jump Festa 2026 Reveal

Full details about the REBOOT Project will be revealed at Jump Festa 2026 during the World Trigger Super Stage on December 20, 2025, at 4:20 PM JST. The event will likely clarify whether this is a full series remake, a continuation, or something entirely new.

The announcement has generated significant buzz in the anime community, with many fans expressing hope that improved production values could help World Trigger gain the wider recognition it deserves. The manga continues to be serialized in Jump Square, with 29 volumes published as of December 2025.

A new official TikTok account has also been launched for the series, suggesting an expanded marketing push aimed at reaching younger audiences who may have missed the original run.
