World Trigger Season 4: Renewed Or Cancelled? + Release Date Predictions
World Trigger Season 4, when will it release?
Over the years, there has been one anime genre that has stood the test of time, managing to produce some of the best manga series and anime.
Yes, we’re talking about the king itself, Shonen which has given us popular titles like Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, and One Piece that have transcended anime.
While Shonen remains a fan favorite, not all series under this genre become major hits. This was the case back in 2014 when the anime adaption of Daisuke Ashihara s’ manga series World Trigger hit the small screen.
The story is set in Mikado city, which is frequently ravaged by attacks from mysterious invading monsters known as neighbors.
The main character of the series is called Osamu Mikumo, who is a member of the Border organization that is tasked to fight neighbors.
They use devices called triggers that save the user’s body in a dormant and project the user’s consciousness into a Trion.
Staying in that Trion body taking damage or using the customizable trigger’s power consumes Trion, and when it’s used up, the body faints.
Osamu meets Yuma Kuga, a boy from another dimension sent to Japan to meet an old friend of his father.
Yuma is the holder of a special type of black trigger that is brought into existence when a powertrain user sacrifices their life power by pouring all of their triumphs into an object.
In the case of Yuma, his father chose to give up his own life to preserve his son s’ body.
Yuma is also a neighbor who is hiding from Border and doesn’t know the way around Mikado city, and it’s up to Mikumo to help the transfer student.
Will Yuma be accepted by Border, or is he a spy in disguise whose special back trigger could be used against him? It is the central plot of the show.
Upon its release World Trigger went under the radar as compared to other memorable favourites such as You Lie in April, Shirobako, Fate/Stay night Unlimited Blade Works, Parasyte and Akatsuki no Yona.
Despite the mixed reception from the fandom, World Trigger received three seasons and fans of the series are wondering whether a fourth installment is on the cards or not.

WHAT IS THE WORLD TRIGGER SEASON 4 RELEASE DATE?
World Trigger season 1 aired from 5th October 2014 to 3rd April 2016 for 73 episodes. The series was renewed for a second season which ran from 10th January 2021 to 4th April 2021 for 12 episodes, while season three aired from 10th October 2021 to 23rd January 2022 for 14 episodes.
As of writing, there is no update from studio Toei Animation on the renewal of World Trigger Season 4.
| SEASON | RELEASE DATE |
| World Trigger Season 1 | 5th October 2014 |
| World Trigger Season 2 | 10th January 2021 |
| World Trigger Season 3 | 10th October 2021 |
| World Trigger Season 4 | Yet to be Announced |
Production studios consider various consumer and financial metrics alongside source material before announcing a renewal.
While World Trigger might not have the same notoriety as other shonen animes like Demon Slayer, Attack on Titans, and Jujutsu Kaisen, World Trigger manga continue to be very popular in Japan.
Volume 24 of the manga was ranked #2 on Rakuten’s Top manga volume sales chart in December 2021 while making Oricon’s Top 3.
Another favorable point for a series renewal comes in the way of how World Trigger Season 3 concluded with a cliffhanger leaving just before the Expedition Selection Exam story arc.
The only factor against a renewal is the availability of source material, wherein 22 volumes have been adapted till season three, which leaves behind only three volumes for World Trigger Season 4.
Hence, once the manga finds a good stopping point for the story, we can assume World Trigger Season 4 trailer and World Trigger Season 4 release date will most likely be in the Fall of 2024.
