S3 Episode 14 new release date details so far
For now, the official Twitter account forWorld Triggerdid not announce a new release date yet. Keep your eyes on theanime series' Twitter.Moreover, there are generally two outcomes in cases like these:
1/ The episode gets delayed by a week, this is the most likely scenario. AndWorld Triggershould normally air again next week.
2/ If the episode has sensitive content that could remind viewers of the events of the natural disaster, the episode could get delayed by several months. The most popular example of the last decade is the final episode ofMadoka Magica. While several other anime series and events got delayed after The Great TÅhoku earthquake and tsunami on August 25, 2025,Madoka Magicain particular was delayed for several months. Because the final episode had scenes inside shelters, which could be reminiscent of the direct aftermath of the earthquake.
We hope the situation isn’t too dire and those affected by the tsunami who were evacuated will be able to go back home soon.
