A.冬島さんの意見が真っ二つにされている現場を目撃したのかもしれません。"

Since WT is back and we will have more chapters of WT, I'd like to share theories I have in my head. Enjoy!

Beware of spoilers!

1. Chika will shoot somebody in the current match tamakoma is in and it's (probably) someone from kageura squad. As we know tamakoma 2nd needs to get more score than kageura squad in this match so they will have more probability to be chosen for the expedition. But from the last foreshadowing by osamu uneasiness and jin's advice for osamu, there might be a chance for tamakoma to mess up in this match. We could see from chapter 168, osamu already took quite a considerable damage from the start. This might be a good chance for chika's development, she might be willing to shoot for protecting osamu.

2. Replica is a trion soldier with human memories implanted in him. Eventhough Replica is known as a tropoi autonomous trion soldier, doesn't it strange that it has a will by itself? For example, it said to osamu, it intended to find a way for yuma to prolong his life. And it also want osamu to give yuma a life purpose. Some how it also could understand yuma's feeling. For example, in yuma's flashback when he couldn't sleep and said he wish the enemy would come sooner, Replica asked yuma to review the battle just like how yugo done it before with him. It's as if, Replica was trying to cheer him up like a guardian should be. Eventhough it's claimed to be autonomous, how does it even work? What if, just like enedora, Replica also a trion soldier which has a memories of a real person implanted in him. (It might be someone close to yuma or yugo, like... yuma's mother?)

3. Yuma's might never get his real body healed instead border will find a way to prolong his life. Yuma lost half of his limbs already and the wounds are not a kind that could be easily healed unless there are any cheat ways like how gon from hxh grow his hand back with the power of game which we will pobably never see in WT, can't see any possibilities for his real body to survive. But he might find a way to keep it works a little bit longer. So he might need to live in his trion body until the end.

4. Jin will not die and become a BT instead aftokraktor will try to make him one of its soldier. Yes, his side effect so convinient but I don't think ashihara-sensei will kill him off just like that. Come on.. jin has the ultimate skill known as 'MC shield' XD since he is one of the MC, the most likely to get free pass from the author. But when they get to afto in the expedition arc, if by any chance afto side finds out about his SE, they might try to kidnap him and make him their soldier though.

5. Tamakoma 2nd and ninomiya squad will be chosen for the expedition. Tamakoma 2nd and ninomiya squad has a mutual purpose to find amatori rinji and hatohara mirai, so I'm quite sure somehow they will be chosen. If the ship can take one more squad, i would say kageura squad will be chosen with them so yuzuru also can fulfilled his own purpose.
