Tamakoma Second vs. Ōji Squad vs. Ikoma Squad Yuma and Chika vs Ikoma Squad World Trigger Rank Wars
Ikoma Squad (生い駒こま 隊たい, Ikoma-tai ?) is the B-rank #4 Squad in Border led by Tatsuhito Ikoma. At the start of the current season, they were ranked 3rd. The squad often gets sidetracked prior to matches.
Tatsuhito Ikoma (生い駒こま 達たつ人ひと, Ikoma Tatsuhito ?) is the no. 6 Attacker and the captain of Ikoma Squad. He is also one of the twelve candidates for the Black Trigger Fūjin
Ikoma is a light-skinned young man of average build. He has broad shoulders, green eyes, an aquiline nose, and a square jaw. He wears his messy, medium-length black hair slicked back.
Ikoma's uniform is comprised of a vermillion, white-zipped jacket. A horizontal white line runs across the chest portion roughly at the height of his armpits, whereas on the back it bends into a flat V-shape pointing downwards,[6] with an ornamental button right above the tip.[7] On the left breast, the white line encircles Border's logo, above which is emblazoned the B-rank emblem. Everything above the white line is black in color, including the high collar, which Ikoma keeps open to reveal a round-collared undershirt; the only exception are the vermillion plain button epaulets. The sleeves are also black until roughly halfway through the humerus, after which they turn vermillion, and disappear into Ikoma's thick gloves about an inch past the elbow. The gloves are black with a gray palm and a thin brown buckle that encircles them near the cuff.[6] The black portion of the sleeves and the collar bear a square motif that suggests padding. The uniform is completed by black pants with front and back pockets,[7] gray-brown boots that reach halfway up Ikoma's calves, and a pair of rectangular goggles with protruding lenses and a vermillion strap which he wears at all times during combat
Ikoma has a very quirky personality, surprising even his teammates with his penchant for focusing on details that most find irrelevant.[8][9] Despite rarely emoting[10], he gets thrilled about mundane events, which he is fond of sharing in the form of pointless anecdotes. This excitement can cause him to appear like an airhead or an outright weirdo when coupled with some of his his laid-back attitude. Although he cares about the outcome of rank wars, he does not strategize ahead of a match, but uses that time to chat with his teammates about whatever random subject elicited his interest. Nonetheless, he studies the logs of his upcoming enemies and is generally passionate about fighting powerful opponents and watching exceptional feats of skill. He can be surprisingly serious when it comes to combat, apologizing to his opponent and his friends after inadvertently breaking the rules of a solo battle.
Ikoma is prone to fooling around when hanging out with his friends[22], and he seems to enjoy teasing them with a straight face.[23][24] His wish to be popular, especially with girls, has driven him to learn to play guitar and to consider switching to cooking after finding it difficult to casually mention his musical skills during a conversation.[10] A similar desire may be at the root of his habit of posing for the camera after defeating an opponent.[25][10] His unwillingness to damage his image led him to insist that Oki be the one to take out Chika Amatori in round six, on account of his superior looks.[24] According to his teammate, whenever a girl is mentioned, Ikoma will remark that she is cute.
Kashio is chasing down Chika, upset that he didn't manage to catch Osamu earlier on. He is determined to take them both out. Chika fires off a lead Hound behind her, but Kashio ducks behind a balcony, using the physical barrier to keep from getting caught. He sends a Hound barrage, forcing Chika to use a shield. This leaves her unable to use the lead Hound since it requires two trigger slots to be active at the same time.
With Chika unable to return fire, Kashio gains ground on her. While running, she hops over an invisible obstacle. On high alert, Kashio stops in his tracks. Watching the match, Toma comments that Chika just made an interesting move. Kashio activates a normal whirlwind Kogetsu to clear the area of wire traps. He realizes that he's been fooled and there are no wires.
His hesitance allowed Chika to get some distance away, so he fires Hound. Osamu jumps in and blocks the shot while Chika fires back with lead Hound. Kashio tries to jump out of the way but is caught in the leg. Osamu uses thruster to catch up to him, and Kashio fires at him with Hound. Chika uses a double shield to protect Osamu, and he cuts Kashio in two with Raygust. Kitazoe and Toma discuss how her bluff with the invisible wire manipulated Kashio right into Tamakoma's hands.
The score is now Oji squad: 1, Tamakoma-2: 2, and Ikoma squad: 0.
