At World Trigger Festival 2026, Toei Animation officially confirmed the World Trigger REBOOT project — a full re-adaptation of the manga from Chapter 1. Series director Morio Hatano and five original cast members return, with redesigned characters and a new teaser.

Yowayowa Sensei Episode 1 introduces Hiwamura, a clumsy, anxiety-ridden first-year teacher whose nervous energy gets mistaken for something supernatural. Brain's Base handles the fan service comedy with more craft than expected, but the script over-explains every gag to exhaustion. A 6.5 first take — neutral, not a dismissal.
