**[00:12] ---**
I'd like you to allow Hyuse
to join Tamakoma-2.
**[00:17] ---**
You must reach the top two of B-Rank
**[00:20] ---**
within the next three matches.
**[00:23] ---**
I got over 4,000 now.
**[00:25] ---**
- Is this enough?
- Yeah.
**[00:27] ---**
What's going on?
**[00:29] ---**
Looks like you're having fun.
**[00:33] ---**
*Hyuse VS Tachikawa*
**[00:35] ---**
You're super strong. Who are you?
**[00:38] ---**
Have you chosen which squad to join?
**[00:41] ---**
If not, our squad welcomes you.
**[00:43] ---**
Thank you for your offer,
**[00:46] ---**
but I have a prior commitment.
**[00:51] ---**
*New Start*
**[00:51] ---**
What?! You made B-Rank already?!
**[01:00] ---**
Wasn't it your induction ceremony?
**[01:04] ---**
Yes.
**[01:05] ---**
- But I advanced somehow.
- That was fast.
**[01:07] ---**
That's my boy, Hyuse.
**[01:09] ---**
Nothing surprising.
**[01:12] ---**
Now, eat up!
**[01:14] ---**
I also battled with
some Border Attackers.
**[01:17] ---**
Oh?
**[01:18] ---**
Fighting with only one sword, I was
about as good as the No. 6 Attacker.
**[01:25] ---**
Who's No. 6 now?
**[01:27] ---**
It should be Yukimaru or Ikoma-san.
**[01:29] ---**
Then that's pretty good!
**[01:33] ---**
Humph...
**[01:35] ---**
But keep in mind I'm No. 3.
**[01:37] ---**
I'm pretty much the best.
**[01:40] ---**
Show some respect, okay?
**[01:42] ---**
Border's got some tough guys, huh?
**[01:45] ---**
That's true.
**[01:47] ---**
But that doesn't mean
they're useful as soldiers.
**[01:52] ---**
I was going to use a sword
as my primary Trigger
**[01:55] ---**
but I need to think more about it.
**[01:59] ---**
Oh, Hyuse-kun. Welcome home.
**[02:02] ---**
How was your ceremony?
**[02:03] ---**
He already made it to B-Rank.
**[02:06] ---**
Wow, that's amazing!
**[02:09] ---**
Then come over here.
**[02:12] ---**
Good thing I got this made quickly.
**[02:16] ---**
Huh?
**[02:26] ---**
- Whoa!
- Yup, you look good!
**[02:30] ---**
You three,
change into your uniforms too.
**[02:43] ---**
This is great. You guys
have a nice team vibe.
**[02:46] ---**
You look good together.
**[02:49] ---**
We'll keep it secret and submit
our member list right before the match.
**[02:53] ---**
But from the next match,
Hyuse will be a member of Tamakoma-2.
**[02:59] ---**
Good to have you, Hyuse.
**[03:02] ---**
Don't get me wrong.
We're not friends.
**[03:05] ---**
Our goals just happened to align.
**[03:09] ---**
Let me clarify.
**[03:10] ---**
I can't promise that
I'll follow 100% of your orders.
**[03:15] ---**
I'll only follow when
I deem them to be valid.
**[03:19] ---**
Ignoring your captain
could bring chaos to the field.
**[03:24] ---**
I don't want to lose
by following wrong orders.
**[03:28] ---**
I'll act on my own judgment.
**[03:30] ---**
Got it.
**[03:33] ---**
That's okay for now.
**[03:35] ---**
Help us get into the Away squad.
**[03:41] ---**
That goes without saying.
**[03:43] ---**
Why is he acting so cool?
He's only a prisoner.
**[03:47] ---**
*An old foe is now our friend...*
*So cool!*
**[03:51] ---**
Oh, yeah.
**[03:53] ---**
Make sure all of you
stay together tomorrow.
**[03:57] ---**
I want you to meet Yuri-san.
**[03:59] ---**
Yuri-san?
**[04:00] ---**
Two members on a scouting trip
will return.
**[04:04] ---**
Yuri Rindo and Michael Kronin.
**[04:07] ---**
They're our senior members
and your *senpai*.
**[04:23] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose
what's most precious to me*
**[04:27] ---**
*They slip through my fingers
by way of cruel fate*
**[04:32] ---**
*More means of reclaiming
our stolen time and hearts*
**[04:36] ---**
*I know that's what
we're painfully lacking*
**[04:40] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror
The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[04:45] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[04:49] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass
A bullet should pierce through*
**[04:53] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[04:57] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[05:01] ---**
*The hopes of thousands
are on my shoulders*
**[05:06] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[05:10] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[05:15] ---**
*The yearning that connects
our past and present*
**[05:22] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[05:28] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,
the light radiates brightly*
**[05:46] ---**
They're almost here.
**[05:56] ---**
Remember to
behave yourselves around Yuri-san.
**[06:01] ---**
Look. Your collar is crooked.
**[06:04] ---**
Why is Reiji-san so nervous?
**[06:08] ---**
Never mind him.
This happens all the time.
**[06:11] ---**
*Tamakoma's senior members...*
*I wonder what they're like.*
**[06:16] ---**
They're here.
**[06:22] ---**
Hi, everyone.
**[06:24] ---**
We're back.
**[06:26] ---**
- Welcome back.
- W...Welcome back!
**[06:29] ---**
Shall I carry your luggage?
**[06:31] ---**
I don't have any.
**[06:33] ---**
I had them delivered.
**[06:35] ---**
I see. You're clever as always.
**[06:39] ---**
Yup.
**[06:40] ---**
Aha, I see...
**[06:42] ---**
Oh!
**[06:48] ---**
Osamu-kun.
**[06:50] ---**
Chika-chan.
**[06:51] ---**
Yuma-kun.
**[06:52] ---**
And Hyuse-kun.
**[06:53] ---**
Nice to meet you.
I'm Yuri Rindo.
**[06:54] ---**
*Tamakoma Branch*
*Operator: Yuri Rindo (24)*
**[06:58] ---**
I'm Director Rindo's niece.
**[07:02] ---**
Michael Kronin.
**[07:03] ---**
*Tamakoma Branch Engineer*
*HQ Chief Engineer: Michael Kronin (32)*
**[07:04] ---**
I'm from Canada...
Wait, do they know everything?
**[07:08] ---**
Yeah, I told them.
**[07:12] ---**
Shiori-chan told us a lot
about you guys on the phone.
**[07:16] ---**
It feels like we've already met.
**[07:19] ---**
- Nice to meet you.
- You too.
**[07:21] ---**
- Pleased to meet you.
- Hi.
**[07:24] ---**
Hey, guys.
**[07:26] ---**
Uncle. Yotaro.
**[07:27] ---**
Welcome home.
**[07:29] ---**
Mr. Rindo, we're home.
**[07:32] ---**
Good.
**[07:34] ---**
You seem fine, Young Master.
**[07:36] ---**
Indeed. Nice work, Kronin.
**[07:41] ---**
Yuri-chan.
**[07:45] ---**
- She's my wife to be.
- Huh?
**[07:48] ---**
Really? I thought
*I* was your future bride.
**[07:53] ---**
You'll be my first,
and she's the second.
**[08:00] ---**
You shouldn't be greedy, Yotaro.
**[08:04] ---**
Calm down, Reiji-san.
**[08:07] ---**
- So, he's from Aftokrator?
- Yup.
**[08:10] ---**
Well, isn't he a handsome one,
Miss Shiori?
**[08:14] ---**
Hyuse, you're going to
be Kronin-san's family member.
**[08:18] ---**
Hello, my son.
**[08:20] ---**
Will anyone buy that?
**[08:22] ---**
Then "my nephew."
**[08:26] ---**
How was your scouting trip?
Was it rough?
**[08:29] ---**
It was fun.
**[08:31] ---**
Kusakabe and Katagiri Squad
are all good kids.
**[08:35] ---**
Who're you facing off next?
**[08:37] ---**
Kageura Squad, Azuma Squad,
and Suzunari-1.
**[08:41] ---**
- We've fought them all before.
- Yes.
**[08:45] ---**
We can get our revenge on Kageura
and Azuma since we lost last time.
**[08:51] ---**
What's the score?
**[08:53] ---**
First place, Ninomiya Squad, 37 points.
**[08:56] ---**
Second, Kageura Squad, 34 points.
**[08:58] ---**
*1. Ninomiya Squad 2. Kageura Squad*
*3. Ikoma Squad 4. Tamakoma-2*
**[08:59] ---**
Third, Ikoma Squad, 30 points.
**[09:01] ---**
We're in fourth with 30 points.
Four points behind the second.
**[09:06] ---**
In a tie, the team that placed higher
at the season's start will be superior.
**[09:11] ---**
So, we must get five more points
than Kageura within two matches.
**[09:15] ---**
And you can't let any other team
surpass you.
**[09:19] ---**
That does sound difficult, but...
**[09:23] ---**
our team has changed now.
**[09:26] ---**
We have the wires,
Kuga's new moves,
**[09:29] ---**
Chika's Lead Bullet sniping...
**[09:31] ---**
And most importantly,
Hyuse is now on our squad.
**[09:36] ---**
The next match against Kageura Squad
**[09:39] ---**
will be a great opportunity for us.
**[09:41] ---**
You're right.
**[09:43] ---**
Then we should start by
deciding the rookie's Trigger set.
**[09:49] ---**
Come, Hyuse.
I'll check your Triggers.
**[09:52] ---**
Thank you.
**[09:55] ---**
Anyone that's B-Rank or above can
fine-tune and give advice on Triggers.
**[10:00] ---**
It's nothing special.
**[10:02] ---**
I'm going too.
**[10:04] ---**
Should we review the logs
of our next opponents?
**[10:08] ---**
Yes!
**[10:09] ---**
Oh, yeah. You're staying here
from today, right?
**[10:13] ---**
Yes, I was hoping to.
**[10:16] ---**
We'll find you a room.
**[10:18] ---**
Yuma's using the guest room now.
**[10:21] ---**
You're going to start living here?
**[10:24] ---**
Yes. It's closer to HQ than my house is.
**[10:28] ---**
What about school?
**[10:29] ---**
We're done with classes.
We can skip now.
**[10:32] ---**
How about high school?
**[10:35] ---**
Kuga and I got in Mikado First
with Border's recommendation.
**[10:39] ---**
So you got in the easy way.
**[10:42] ---**
Chika-chan, got any plans today?
**[10:44] ---**
I have joint sniper training from 4 P.M.
**[10:47] ---**
Can you help me prepare
Osamu-kun's room until then?
**[10:53] ---**
Of course.
**[10:54] ---**
Can you help too, Reiji-kun?
**[10:57] ---**
Yes! With pleasure!
**[11:04] ---**
What?
**[11:05] ---**
Nothing.
**[11:07] ---**
- Your primary Trigger's Kogetsu?
- Yes.
**[11:10] ---**
*Kogetsu*
**[11:11] ---**
But I also want Bullet Triggers, and...
**[11:14] ---**
Hey, Yuma.
Where's that Torimaru guy today?
**[11:18] ---**
He has his part-time job until evening.
**[11:21] ---**
"Part-time"?
**[11:22] ---**
Well, anyway...
**[11:24] ---**
I want the Trigger he used
to pull a shield out of the ground.
**[11:29] ---**
That's "Escudo."
**[11:31] ---**
But it's outdated
and consumes lots of Trion.
**[11:34] ---**
Not many agents use it anymore.
**[11:37] ---**
I've considered what
Tamakoma-2 lacks right now.
**[11:41] ---**
Jin-san uses that shield too.
He could teach you.
**[11:47] ---**
I don't want to learn from him.
**[11:49] ---**
And the Bullet Trigger...
**[11:52] ---**
I want the redirectable one
Torimaru used.
**[11:56] ---**
B-Rank's Nasu uses it too.
**[11:59] ---**
The Viper... Got it.
**[12:02] ---**
*Main: Kogetsu, Whirlwind, Shield*
*Sub: Viper, Escudo, Shield, Bagworm*
**[12:02] ---**
You have one slot left.
**[12:04] ---**
I'm good for now.
**[12:09] ---**
Yuma.
**[12:10] ---**
I need a test run. Come.
**[12:12] ---**
Oh! Sounds fun.
**[12:15] ---**
Chika-chan, isn't it time?
**[12:16] ---**
Oh, right.
**[12:18] ---**
I'll be leaving now.
**[12:20] ---**
Sure. Take care.
**[12:25] ---**
*Is Yuma-kun going to*
*the Solo Rank Wars too?*
**[12:30] ---**
Osamu-kun, this is your room from today.
**[12:34] ---**
The last person
left some things behind, but...
**[12:37] ---**
- Don't mind them.
- Yes.
**[12:40] ---**
Thank you so much.
**[12:42] ---**
Later.
**[12:46] ---**
*The last person?*
**[12:49] ---**
*I wonder who it was.*
**[12:59] ---**
*Kido*
**[13:02] ---**
"Kido"?
**[13:13] ---**
*Kido*
**[13:14] ---**
*"Kido"...*
**[13:15] ---**
*That's Commander Kido, right?*
**[13:19] ---**
*Why does he...*
**[13:21] ---**
*have a room at Tamakoma?*
**[13:33] ---**
*A group photo?*
**[13:41] ---**
*That's...Jin-san?*
**[13:46] ---**
*Konami senpai and Director Rindo*
*are there.*
**[13:53] ---**
*Also Reiji-san and Yuri-san.*
**[13:55] ---**
*They look so much younger.
It must've been taken a while ago.*
**[14:01] ---**
*The Tamakoma Branch is behind them...*
**[14:04] ---**
*Are they all former members
of the branch?*
**[14:08] ---**
Oh, my. How nostalgic.
**[14:12] ---**
It was about six years ago.
I look so young.
**[14:16] ---**
Sorry. I found it in a drawer
by accident.
**[14:22] ---**
So, did that room, um...
**[14:25] ---**
use to belong to Commander Kido?
**[14:27] ---**
Yes.
**[14:29] ---**
This photo must be his, too.
**[14:32] ---**
But Commander Kido isn't in it.
**[14:36] ---**
Yes, he is. Right here.
**[14:41] ---**
That's Commander Kido?!
**[14:43] ---**
His face wasn't scarred back then.
**[14:46] ---**
*No, it's not just the scar...*
**[14:51] ---**
*He's like a different person.*
**[14:53] ---**
Why does he have a room at Tamakoma?
**[14:57] ---**
Did you all live here together?
**[14:59] ---**
We did.
**[15:01] ---**
You see...
**[15:03] ---**
Up until the current HQ was built,
this was Border HQ.
**[15:12] ---**
I mean, the "old Border" HQ,
before we were publicly known.
**[15:17] ---**
The 19 people in this photo
are its members.
**[15:20] ---**
The old Border...
**[15:22] ---**
This place used to be bustling.
Now it feels a bit lonely.
**[15:28] ---**
But it'll be lively again
since you guys joined us.
**[15:35] ---**
Did the members who aren't in
Tamakoma now move to HQ?
**[15:41] ---**
Right...
**[15:43] ---**
Kido-san.
**[15:44] ---**
Kiriyama-san.
**[15:46] ---**
Shinoda-san.
**[15:47] ---**
*Oh, the Director.*
**[15:49] ---**
These three are working hard at HQ now.
**[15:52] ---**
And the rest...
**[15:54] ---**
This girl, Mato-chan, left Border
and became a normal citizen.
**[16:00] ---**
I see, some of them quit...
**[16:05] ---**
And...what about the other ten members?
**[16:15] ---**
They all died...
**[16:19] ---**
in the battle five years ago.
**[16:23] ---**
They died?
**[16:26] ---**
Yes.
**[16:28] ---**
You know Tamakoma's emblem?
**[16:31] ---**
It was originally
the old Border's emblem.
**[16:36] ---**
The top three circles are
the three allied Neighborhood nations.
**[16:42] ---**
The bottom large circle is our world.
**[16:46] ---**
And the Border is what
lies between them.
**[16:50] ---**
One of the allied nations
is in orbit near our world.
**[16:55] ---**
And they were
attacked by another nation.
**[17:00] ---**
We joined with our allies
to protect them.
**[17:04] ---**
That was the promise we had made.
**[17:06] ---**
And our world might've been targeted
if we stood back.
**[17:12] ---**
We repelled the enemy
before they could invade our world.
**[17:17] ---**
But we sacrificed a lot.
**[17:19] ---**
We lost ten out of 19 of us.
**[17:23] ---**
Some of them turned into Black Triggers.
**[17:28] ---**
*Mogami-san died five years ago,*
*leaving this Black Trigger.*
**[17:32] ---**
*There have been many cases...*
**[17:35] ---**
*where a prevailing country had to*
*flee due to a Black Trigger attack.*
**[17:42] ---**
Kido-san has had that scary face
**[17:45] ---**
and has walked a different path
from ours ever since.
**[17:48] ---**
A different path?
**[17:52] ---**
To earn more recruits for Border,
**[17:55] ---**
he claims all Neighbors are enemies.
**[17:58] ---**
The old Border's purpose was to
connect this world with Neighbors.
**[18:04] ---**
We're completely opposite.
**[18:07] ---**
*"Neighbors can be good guys too,*
*so let's be friends" faction.*
**[18:10] ---**
*Us in the Tamakoma Branch.*
**[18:12] ---**
Now I get it...
**[18:14] ---**
*Tamakoma has taken on*
*the mission of the old Border.*
**[18:19] ---**
But it doesn't mean
we disagree on everything.
**[18:23] ---**
We cooperate when we can.
**[18:26] ---**
Border has grown so much
in a short period.
**[18:30] ---**
We all know
it's thanks to Kido-san's efforts.
**[18:35] ---**
Just like the last invasion...
**[18:45] ---**
Who knows what would've happened
if it weren't for those recruits.
**[18:52] ---**
If a massive war erupts again
like five years ago,
**[18:55] ---**
the more people we have, the better.
**[18:59] ---**
The thing is, we couldn't come up
with a better way than Kido-san's.
**[19:07] ---**
We're the real problem...
**[19:15] ---**
Whoa!
**[19:16] ---**
Wait, what are you looking at?
**[19:20] ---**
This photo is from ages ago!
**[19:24] ---**
Konami *senpai*...
**[19:26] ---**
Kirie-chan was so clingy
with my uncle back then.
**[19:36] ---**
I can't stand it!
**[19:38] ---**
I'm confiscating this!
**[19:43] ---**
*8 to 12*
**[19:45] ---**
Seems like Yuma's better
than you at the moment.
**[19:49] ---**
That's just for now.
**[19:51] ---**
Ultimate Grasshopper move!
**[19:54] ---**
Viper is difficult to use
among the Bullet Triggers.
**[19:59] ---**
But you have enhanced Trion
from your Afto horns.
**[20:03] ---**
You'll get better with more practice.
**[20:06] ---**
Don't worry.
**[20:08] ---**
I know that.
**[20:09] ---**
Controlling Trion is my forte.
**[20:12] ---**
I'll nail it before the match.
**[20:16] ---**
Yuma-kun, want to come to HQ with me?
**[20:21] ---**
Reiji-san's driving us.
**[20:23] ---**
Yeah, I'll go.
**[20:25] ---**
How about you, Hyuse?
**[20:27] ---**
I'm a "secret weapon."
**[20:29] ---**
I shouldn't stand out at HQ.
**[20:32] ---**
Right. You have a point.
**[20:34] ---**
Then keep up your training.
**[20:36] ---**
Shut up and leave already.
**[20:42] ---**
*He seems happy to
have new Neighbor friends.*
**[20:48] ---**
Should I pick you up at six?
**[20:50] ---**
Yes. Thank you so much.
**[20:52] ---**
Oh, I won't need a ride back.
**[20:54] ---**
*Okonomiyaki Kageura*
**[20:55] ---**
I'm going to Kageura *senpai's*
house later.
**[20:59] ---**
I won't need dinner either.
**[21:01] ---**
Okay.
**[21:02] ---**
I'll pick you up whenever you call.
**[21:05] ---**
I'll be alright. Thanks.
**[21:08] ---**
Later.
**[21:13] ---**
Did I make you wait?
**[21:15] ---**
You're late.
**[21:17] ---**
Good, you're here.
**[21:18] ---**
Well then, I'll play with you kids
before the next match.
**[21:23] ---**
That's my line, doofus.
**[21:26] ---**
Yoo-hoo!
**[21:28] ---**
Chika-chan! Izuho-chan!
**[21:32] ---**
Hi there!
**[21:39] ---**
It's been a while, guys!
**[21:41] ---**
Thanks for watching
World Trigger 3rd Season.
**[21:44] ---**
Our rookie seems promising.
**[21:47] ---**
Don't miss the next episode!

**[00:12] ---**
Including the higher-ups,
**[00:14] ---**
most of them seemed to think
we need to shoot people.
**[00:18] ---**
Do you agree with that?
**[00:20] ---**
What?
**[00:21] ---**
No, not really.
**[00:24] ---**
I can't shoot anybody either.
It's scary.
**[00:30] ---**
Yuma-kun, want to come to HQ with me?
**[00:34] ---**
Reiji-san's driving us.
**[00:37] ---**
Yeah, I'll go.
How about you, Hyuse?
**[00:40] ---**
I'm a "secret weapon."
**[00:42] ---**
I shouldn't stand out at HQ.
**[00:46] ---**
Did I make you wait?
**[00:48] ---**
Well then, I'll play with you kids
before the next match.
**[00:53] ---**
That's my line, doofus.
**[00:56] ---**
Yoo-hoo!
**[00:58] ---**
Chika-chan! Izuho-chan!
**[01:01] ---**
Hi there!
**[01:15] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose*
*what's most precious to me*
**[01:19] ---**
*They slip through my fingers*
*by way of cruel fate*
**[01:24] ---**
*More means of reclaiming*
*our stolen time and hearts*
**[01:28] ---**
*I know that's what*
*we're painfully lacking*
**[01:32] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror*
*The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[01:37] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[01:41] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass*
*A bullet should pierce through*
**[01:45] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[01:49] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[01:53] ---**
*The hopes of thousands*
*are on my shoulders*
**[01:58] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[02:02] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[02:07] ---**
*The yearning that connects*
*our past and present*
**[02:14] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[02:20] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,*
*the light radiates brightly*
**[02:36] ---**
*Choice*
**[02:42] ---**
*At one o'clock.
90 meters away, lower position.*
**[02:51] ---**
*We have
radar search training today.*
**[02:55] ---**
*You shoot the targets
on the radar.*
**[03:00] ---**
*Non-designated targets
don't give you points.*
**[03:05] ---**
*The next target comes up
when you hit one.*
**[03:10] ---**
*Your score hinges on how many targets
you hit within the given time.*
**[03:17] ---**
Hooray! My personal best!
**[03:20] ---**
You're in good shape.
**[03:22] ---**
It's all thanks to you and Yuzuru!
**[03:25] ---**
Still, I'm far from
reaching the top 15%.
**[03:28] ---**
And the top 15% includes
regular agents.
**[03:32] ---**
But some of them
don't join every training
**[03:36] ---**
or don't work hard.
**[03:38] ---**
Getting to the top five in C-Rank
may be good enough.
**[03:42] ---**
That goal's already tough for me.
**[03:48] ---**
Oh, Kitty.
**[03:50] ---**
Kitty and Amatori-chan.
What's up?
**[03:54] ---**
Hello.
**[03:56] ---**
Hey, you're the Oki who missed
the crucial shot in the last match.
**[04:01] ---**
- Huh?
- No, no.
**[04:03] ---**
I had a reason, Toma-san.
**[04:05] ---**
What kind of reason?
**[04:07] ---**
Since I'm an only child,
**[04:09] ---**
I've been wanting
a little sister like Amatori-chan.
**[04:14] ---**
No, you just flinched
during the standoff.
**[04:18] ---**
Nah, I mean it's not so easy
to shoot a cute girl. Right?
**[04:22] ---**
Oh, um...
**[04:27] ---**
Stop it, Oki *senpai*.
**[04:29] ---**
Look, she's feeling awkward.
**[04:31] ---**
What's wrong?
**[04:33] ---**
Oki *senpai*, what about me?
**[04:35] ---**
Hmm...
**[04:37] ---**
It'd be hard to shoot you too.
**[04:39] ---**
Yay!
**[04:41] ---**
Ah, found ya, Kitty.
**[04:46] ---**
Oh, it's from Kage-san.
**[04:49] ---**
We're invited to his place.
**[04:50] ---**
Sounds nice.
Izuho, Chikako, any plans after this?
**[04:55] ---**
Reiji-san will
come pick me up at six.
**[04:58] ---**
Until then, we'll train
with Hiura *senpai*.
**[05:01] ---**
Kitty!
**[05:03] ---**
I'm going back to train too.
**[05:05] ---**
Alright then, see you guys.
**[05:09] ---**
Yuzuru-kun.
**[05:11] ---**
See you in the next match.
**[05:15] ---**
Yeah, in the next match.
**[05:18] ---**
*Okonomiyaki Kageura*
**[05:22] ---**
Hup!
**[05:25] ---**
Whoa, you're good at that.
**[05:27] ---**
Nice job.
**[05:30] ---**
Sauce.
**[05:33] ---**
Mayo.
**[05:35] ---**
And bonito flakes.
**[05:37] ---**
Wow, it's like they're alive!
**[05:51] ---**
Yummy!
**[05:52] ---**
See? It's great, huh?
**[05:55] ---**
Yum-yum.
**[05:56] ---**
Don't get burned.
**[05:57] ---**
Thanks.
**[06:01] ---**
By the way, Kage,
you seem to like Kuga a lot.
**[06:05] ---**
Huh?
**[06:06] ---**
True. You even invited him
to this restaurant.
**[06:09] ---**
Kage got a new friend,
that makes me happy.
**[06:13] ---**
Shut up.
**[06:14] ---**
This guy's different from the others.
**[06:18] ---**
In most cases, I feel a tingling here
**[06:22] ---**
saying that they're going to attack.
**[06:25] ---**
Thanks to my crappy Side Effect.
**[06:29] ---**
But his case is different.
**[06:31] ---**
I can't read him,
he's like a machine or bug.
**[06:34] ---**
Bug?
**[06:35] ---**
The only other guy who fights me
**[06:38] ---**
without giving me that feeling
is Azuma.
**[06:43] ---**
Fighting with them thrills me.
It's fun.
**[06:47] ---**
So I like him.
**[06:48] ---**
I see, a sword without a mind.
**[06:51] ---**
Hm, I don't get it.
**[06:59] ---**
Aside from this, Kuga...
**[07:02] ---**
He has a crush on
that little sniper on your squad.
**[07:06] ---**
Oh, you've got a good eye.
**[07:09] ---**
She's a nice and strong-willed girl.
**[07:14] ---**
Yuzuru has a girlfriend.
That makes me happy.
**[07:18] ---**
You're always crying, Zoe.
**[07:20] ---**
Nothing happy here.
**[07:22] ---**
He intends to throw
the next match.
**[07:26] ---**
Yuzuru, are you throwing the match
for Amatori-chan?
**[07:31] ---**
Our squad isn't
aiming for the expedition.
**[07:35] ---**
Shouldn't we give the chance
to those who truly want it then?
**[07:40] ---**
Even so,
throwing a match sounds a bit...
**[07:43] ---**
Well, you don't have to
worry about that.
**[07:47] ---**
She's already going.
**[07:50] ---**
Huh?
**[07:51] ---**
What do you mean?
**[07:53] ---**
They said her massive amount of Trion
allows for a bigger ship.
**[08:00] ---**
Kido-san wants to gather
a bunch of agents.
**[08:03] ---**
So we were asked to lend her.
**[08:06] ---**
Yeah, we got a notice lately
**[08:08] ---**
that a few B-Ranks
will also be chosen for the mission.
**[08:13] ---**
The Away Ship's small, so they
want to make it bigger with her Trion.
**[08:19] ---**
When she's already on the squads,
**[08:21] ---**
you have no reason to lose
on purpose for her.
**[08:26] ---**
It's only her
who's assigned to the mission.
**[08:30] ---**
Going with her mates would be
more reassuring than going alone.
**[08:34] ---**
Hmm?
**[08:35] ---**
That makes sense.
**[08:39] ---**
You've got an answer
for everything, huh?
**[08:43] ---**
Welcome!
**[08:46] ---**
Oh? Look.
**[08:48] ---**
What meeting is this?
**[08:50] ---**
Hey, Arafune and Hokari.
**[08:52] ---**
Hi, Arafune-san.
**[08:56] ---**
I see.
**[08:58] ---**
I think I understand.
**[09:03] ---**
It doesn't seem complicated.
**[09:06] ---**
To be with her, you can join
the expedition as an individual, Ema.
**[09:12] ---**
Me? On the Away Squads?
**[09:14] ---**
Then you don't have to
lose on purpose,
**[09:16] ---**
and she doesn't
have to be lonely there.
**[09:20] ---**
That's simple.
**[09:21] ---**
I see.
**[09:23] ---**
Go protect her yourself
if you're worried about her.
**[09:28] ---**
Myself...
**[09:30] ---**
Well...it doesn't matter
whether you throw the match or not.
**[09:36] ---**
In any case, we'll win.
**[09:45] ---**
Oh, wait.
Where are you going, Yuzuru?
**[09:48] ---**
Back to the base.
**[09:50] ---**
I'm going to review
Tamakoma's logs.
**[10:00] ---**
That idiot left money.
**[10:03] ---**
I told him it's on me.
**[10:05] ---**
But his mind seems clear now.
**[10:07] ---**
Looks like he's not going to lose.
**[10:10] ---**
Great. It's all thanks to you,
Arafune-kun.
**[10:13] ---**
Is that so?
**[10:15] ---**
I'm not sure if anyone has
ever intentionally lost,
**[10:18] ---**
but he'd get lectured
if he does it.
**[10:21] ---**
That wouldn't be a problem.
**[10:24] ---**
If it were, it'd also apply to Chikako,
who doesn't want to shoot people.
**[10:30] ---**
Hm.
**[10:31] ---**
Is it really true
that she can't shoot people?
**[10:35] ---**
Well...I don't know.
**[10:38] ---**
Come on, it's already obvious.
**[10:41] ---**
She had chances to score
with normal shots.
**[10:47] ---**
It may be our trap
to make you think that way.
**[10:50] ---**
You'd set a trap
by losing potential points?
**[10:54] ---**
That's true.
**[10:56] ---**
So that's why she uses the Lead Bullet.
**[10:59] ---**
I like that tactic though.
**[11:02] ---**
What's up with Tamakoma's little girl?
**[11:04] ---**
Review the logs more diligently.
**[11:08] ---**
But I'm glad Amatori-chan
can't shoot people.
**[11:12] ---**
Or she'd be invincible
with all that Trion.
**[11:15] ---**
I'm sure she can.
**[11:30] ---**
Chikako can shoot people.
**[11:33] ---**
If she wanted to.
**[11:34] ---**
But you said so yourself, Toma-kun...
**[11:37] ---**
I said she doesn't
*want* to shoot people.
**[11:41] ---**
I never said she *can't*.
**[11:45] ---**
She just needs to switch a Lead Bullet
off to a regular one halfway.
**[11:52] ---**
It's simple.
**[11:53] ---**
It's not easy for her
because it's not in her nature.
**[11:57] ---**
Listen.
**[11:59] ---**
I know some people
don't like attacking others.
**[12:03] ---**
They aren't cut out for fighting.
**[12:07] ---**
Those people in Border either become
operators or engineers
**[12:11] ---**
while they're still C-Ranks.
**[12:13] ---**
The right person for the right job.
**[12:16] ---**
But, is Chikako someone like that?
The answer is no.
**[12:21] ---**
She's not shy about shooting for backup
**[12:25] ---**
and not scared of being shot.
**[12:27] ---**
She even helped Four-Eyes
slaughter Kashio yesterday.
**[12:32] ---**
I see her as a person
with a battle-oriented mentality.
**[12:38] ---**
She just doesn't want to
shoot people on her own.
**[12:43] ---**
She doesn't want to,
rather than can't?
**[12:46] ---**
Those are the same, aren't they?
**[12:49] ---**
Not at all.
It's like zero differs from one.
**[12:53] ---**
Those who can't shoot
will never shoot, but
**[12:56] ---**
those who don't want to
will shoot when cornered.
**[13:00] ---**
You'd eat anything
when starving to death.
**[13:04] ---**
I don't think I could eat bugs
no matter how hungry I got.
**[13:09] ---**
I can't imagine you starving to death.
**[13:13] ---**
Since she'll be on the mission,
**[13:16] ---**
push her to the edge
and make her ready to shoot people.
**[13:21] ---**
That could save her life after all.
**[13:25] ---**
Hm.
**[13:30] ---**
Hey, you lonely boys.
**[13:33] ---**
I, Hikari, am here for you!
**[13:36] ---**
Too late. We're already done.
**[13:39] ---**
Make some for me now.
**[13:41] ---**
Hi there!
Arafune and Pokari!
**[13:57] ---**
Toma *senpai* told you that?
**[14:00] ---**
He looked certain
Chika can shoot people.
**[14:04] ---**
It's true
**[14:06] ---**
that she doesn't shoot on her own
but is eager to get points.
**[14:11] ---**
Toma *senpai* said
we should push her to her limit,
**[14:15] ---**
then she'll do it.
**[14:18] ---**
I don't really want to
corner her though.
**[14:21] ---**
Me too. And I don't know exactly
how to do that.
**[14:27] ---**
So what have you been up to?
**[14:29] ---**
I was reviewing
our next opponents' logs.
**[14:32] ---**
Especially...
**[14:34] ---**
Suzunari-1 was moving differently,
much better than before.
**[14:40] ---**
I'm sure they checked our logs too
**[14:42] ---**
and are ready to counter
the Wire Strategy.
**[14:46] ---**
Maybe I should get some new Triggers.
**[14:54] ---**
Um...
**[14:55] ---**
I'm not sure about that.
**[14:57] ---**
Is it no good?
**[14:59] ---**
How should I put it?
Hmm...
**[15:03] ---**
Let's say
this cookie dough is your Trion.
**[15:07] ---**
Just equipping Triggers
needs a certain amount of Trion.
**[15:14] ---**
Asteroid, Raygust, Thruster...
**[15:18] ---**
Bagworm, Spider, Shield...
**[15:22] ---**
Trion body, regular equipment, and...
**[15:27] ---**
The Bailout system.
**[15:29] ---**
And then, the rest is used for energy
for bullets and shields, and so on.
**[15:35] ---**
Bailout looks huge.
**[15:37] ---**
Adding new triggers here...
**[15:40] ---**
will bring down
your combat Trion even more.
**[15:44] ---**
Your Trigger set is already
at the limit of your Trion amount.
**[15:49] ---**
*SUB: Asteroid, Shield, Bagworm
MAIN: Raygust, Thruster, Spider*
**[15:49] ---**
If you want a new one, you should
take out one you already have,
**[15:54] ---**
*Asteroid, Thruster*
**[15:56] ---**
or ask Yuma-kun to use a new Trigger
who has a surplus of Trion.
**[16:01] ---**
I see.
**[16:03] ---**
I'd rather not have new Triggers.
**[16:07] ---**
*SUB: Scorpion, Grasshopper, Shield, Bagworm
MAIN: Scorpion, Grasshopper, Shield*
**[16:07] ---**
Since adding Grasshopper,
I'm used to my set.
**[16:11] ---**
I might mess up switching
if I change now.
**[16:14] ---**
I see.
**[16:15] ---**
We have Hyuse-kun,
our secret weapon,
**[16:18] ---**
so I don't think you need
anything new this time.
**[16:23] ---**
Yes...you have a point.
**[16:35] ---**
*That does sound difficult, but...*
**[16:38] ---**
*our team has changed now.*
**[16:40] ---**
*If so, you won't be overwhelmed*
*by any opponents.*
**[16:45] ---**
*He looked certain
Chika can shoot people.*
**[16:49] ---**
*Our squad is growing well.*
**[16:53] ---**
*And the next match isn't
hopeless at all.*
**[16:56] ---**
*But...*
**[17:01] ---**
*Why am I still feeling uneasy
deep in my heart?*
**[17:29] ---**
*March 1,*
*The Day of B-Rank Wars Round 7*
**[17:33] ---**
Hyuse-kun, today is
your B-Rank debut match.
**[17:37] ---**
Feeling nervous?
**[17:38] ---**
Nervous?
**[17:40] ---**
Who do you think I am?
**[17:42] ---**
Let's finish it quickly.
**[17:45] ---**
We're fully prepared.
**[17:50] ---**
I'll be watching from here.
**[17:54] ---**
Nobody in this team gets butterflies.
**[17:57] ---**
Even Chika-chan moved well
from the start.
**[18:00] ---**
I don't think so.
**[18:06] ---**
Hey, Four-Eyes.
Any concerns?
**[18:10] ---**
Jin-san.
**[18:13] ---**
I don't really get it myself,
**[18:15] ---**
but something bothers me.
**[18:18] ---**
The map Suzunari-1 chooses
can affect things in all respects.
**[18:23] ---**
We'll do fine with any map.
**[18:27] ---**
Hyuse and I polished our combo moves.
**[18:30] ---**
But...that's not
what I'm worried about.
**[18:34] ---**
Something feels different than usual.
**[18:38] ---**
It's like I'm going the wrong way
without realizing it.
**[18:42] ---**
That's how I feel.
**[18:45] ---**
Hmm?
**[18:45] ---**
Alright, time to go.
**[18:48] ---**
Get in Reiji's car or mine.
**[18:51] ---**
Our squad's so big
we need two cars.
**[19:02] ---**
Four-Eyes.
**[19:04] ---**
A piece of advice from me.
**[19:08] ---**
Do not waver.
**[19:15] ---**
*Yes, sir!*
**[19:19] ---**
Good day. I, Yuitsuka, am giving
commentary on the B-Rank Wars Round 7.
**[19:21] ---**
*A-Rank #8, Katagiri Squad,
Karin Yuitsuka (17)*
**[19:25] ---**
I have Ninomiya Squad's
Inukai *senpai*
**[19:28] ---**
and Arashiyama Squad's
Captain Arashiyama.
**[19:31] ---**
Hi guys.
**[19:32] ---**
Glad to be here.
**[19:35] ---**
How have you been?
**[19:36] ---**
I've been good.
**[19:38] ---**
Find any hot guys
on your scouting mission?
**[19:41] ---**
Most nominees were
middle schoolers,
**[19:44] ---**
so they weren't so hot...
**[19:46] ---**
You were really looking for one?
**[19:48] ---**
Huh?! You're so mean!
**[19:50] ---**
Just kidding.
Don't take it seriously.
**[19:55] ---**
Well then...
**[19:57] ---**
Let me ask you two
about today's match.
**[20:01] ---**
We must talk first
about Tamakoma's new face.
**[20:02] ---**
*Tamakoma-2
Hyuse Kronin, Attacker*
**[20:05] ---**
That's right.
**[20:06] ---**
Few squads grow
at this point in the season.
**[20:10] ---**
Will their teamwork be okay?
**[20:12] ---**
Also, he just made B-Rank?
**[20:14] ---**
Actually, I don't think
he's an ordinary rookie.
**[20:19] ---**
Ah!
**[20:21] ---**
*Azuma Squad Strategy Room*
**[20:21] ---**
That's the super-strong rookie
I told you about.
**[20:26] ---**
So he joined Tamakoma?
**[20:28] ---**
Wait. As I recall,
he was wearing Tamakoma's emblem...
**[20:33] ---**
Geez, they just got
a major boost in strength.
**[20:36] ---**
But it's within the rules.
**[20:38] ---**
Our squad could do it too
if we want.
**[20:42] ---**
Don't feel down, let's strategize.
**[20:46] ---**
Rank Wars are also where we can
learn how to deal with the unexpected.
**[20:52] ---**
*Kageura Squad Strategy Room*
**[20:53] ---**
A new dude in Tamakoma?
**[20:55] ---**
Explain.
**[20:56] ---**
That's just it.
They got a newbie.
**[21:00] ---**
Hyuse-kun?
I don't remember him in B-Rank.
**[21:03] ---**
He's such a hottie.
**[21:05] ---**
A secret weapon, huh?
**[21:07] ---**
So that's why Kuga was that cocky.
**[21:10] ---**
The headcount doesn't matter.
**[21:13] ---**
No matter how many enemies
there are, we'll win.
**[21:24] ---**
Chika, how was your sniping training?
**[21:27] ---**
Fine, I enjoyed it.
**[21:29] ---**
How about you?
**[21:30] ---**
I'm totally prepared.
**[21:32] ---**
But I'm feeling uneasy
about this match.
**[21:35] ---**
I saw you talking with Jin-san.
**[21:38] ---**
Yeah, he advised me
to not waver.
**[21:42] ---**
Oh, were your legs shaking
that badly?
**[21:45] ---**
Are you sick?
**[21:46] ---**
Um, what he meant is...
**[21:48] ---**
**[21:50] ---**

**[00:12] ---**
But...that's not
what I'm worried about.
**[00:15] ---**
Something feels different than usual.
**[00:18] ---**
It's like I'm going the wrong way
without realizing it.
**[00:23] ---**
That's how I feel.
**[00:26] ---**
Four-Eyes.
**[00:29] ---**
A piece of advice from me.
**[00:33] ---**
Do not waver.
**[00:37] ---**
*Yes, sir!*
**[00:39] ---**
Ah!
**[00:41] ---**
That's the super-strong rookie
I told you about.
**[00:46] ---**
Hyuse-kun?
I don't remember him in B-Rank.
**[00:49] ---**
A secret weapon, huh?
**[00:51] ---**
So that's why Kuga was that cocky.
**[00:55] ---**
The headcount doesn't matter.
**[00:58] ---**
No matter how many enemies
there are, we'll win.
**[01:04] ---**
*Strategy*
**[01:07] ---**
*4. Tamakoma-2: Osamu Mikumo, Yuma Kuga,*
*Chika Amatori, Hyuse Kronin*
**[01:08] ---**
They've added a member...
**[01:11] ---**
Tamakoma sure likes
to pull crazy stunts.
**[01:14] ---**
You're right.
**[01:16] ---**
Ko-kun, you've never faced this guy.
Will you be okay?
**[01:20] ---**
I won't know until I fight him.
**[01:24] ---**
We'll be fine.
**[01:25] ---**
This is their first time
up against our new formation.
**[01:30] ---**
- I bet they've seen our logs, though.
- Urgh...
**[01:34] ---**
But we'll be alright!
**[01:36] ---**
Should we still stick with
our map choice regardless?
**[01:41] ---**
Yeah.
**[01:42] ---**
I agree.
**[01:48] ---**
*Stage Decided*
**[01:50] ---**
Oh! The map's been decided.
**[01:53] ---**
Suzunari-1's pick is...
**[01:54] ---**
*Stage Decided*
**[01:56] ---**
*B-Rank Wars Round 7*
*Stage: Cityscape D*
**[01:56] ---**
Cityscape D.
The stage will be Cityscape D.
**[02:01] ---**
D? Which one's that?
**[02:04] ---**
It's D...
**[02:05] ---**
They chose D?
**[02:06] ---**
Mako-san, I need Meteor.
**[02:20] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose*
*what's most precious to me*
**[02:24] ---**
*They slip through my fingers*
*by way of cruel fate*
**[02:29] ---**
*More means of reclaiming*
*our stolen time and hearts*
**[02:33] ---**
*I know that's what*
*we're painfully lacking*
**[02:37] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror*
*The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[02:42] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[02:46] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass*
*A bullet should pierce through*
**[02:50] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[02:54] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[02:58] ---**
*The hopes of thousands*
*are on my shoulders*
**[03:03] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[03:07] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[03:12] ---**
*The yearning that connects*
*our past and present*
**[03:19] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[03:25] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,*
*the light radiates brightly*
**[03:40] ---**
*Cityscape D*
**[03:43] ---**
Could you explain this map?
**[03:46] ---**
Cityscape D is full of broad streets
**[03:49] ---**
and they're lined with huge buildings.
**[03:53] ---**
The map itself is small
but has tall buildings.
**[03:57] ---**
It's a vertically expansive map.
**[04:00] ---**
The buildings have
wide-open spaces within.
**[04:03] ---**
Indoor battles are more likely
than on other maps.
**[04:07] ---**
Simply put, Bullet Triggers
have an advantage on the streets,
**[04:11] ---**
and Attackers have an advantage indoors.
**[04:16] ---**
As Arashiyama-san said,
it has vertical depth.
**[04:19] ---**
It's hard to locate opponents
with the radar.
**[04:23] ---**
If they use a Bagworm, you'll need
to smoke them out with Meteor.
**[04:28] ---**
So some agents recognize it
as a crappy map.
**[04:33] ---**
*B-Rank No. 4*
*Tamakoma-2 Strategy Room*
**[04:33] ---**
Cityscape D...
**[04:35] ---**
We've never fought on this map before.
**[04:39] ---**
There are broad streets to consider,
**[04:41] ---**
but the main feature
is the central shopping mall.
**[04:45] ---**
Most battles end up happening here.
**[04:49] ---**
Snipers target opponents
on the streets.
**[04:52] ---**
So most people
take cover in the mall.
**[04:56] ---**
It's hard to snipe
from outside the building.
**[04:59] ---**
So they have to
take a risk and get closer.
**[05:03] ---**
You mean, this is an anti-Sniper map?
**[05:07] ---**
Exactly.
**[05:09] ---**
But Azuma, last time...
**[05:13] ---**
shot right through a wall.
**[05:16] ---**
This map isn't Azuma Squad's pick.
**[05:20] ---**
He probably can't shoot
that precisely this time.
**[05:23] ---**
Don't get careless, though.
**[05:26] ---**
Hmm...
**[05:27] ---**
Suzunari-1 has a Sniper too.
**[05:30] ---**
Yet they chose an anti-Sniper map?
**[05:34] ---**
You have a point.
**[05:36] ---**
*Do they have a different strategy?*
**[05:40] ---**
Maybe they wanted to shut down
Azuma-san and Yuzuru-kun.
**[05:44] ---**
And Chika-chan
is also a tough customer.
**[05:49] ---**
*13 Minutes to Transfer*
**[05:52] ---**
Osamu, you're the commander.
Hurry up and command.
**[05:59] ---**
Got it.
**[06:01] ---**
Here's our plan for the first phase.
**[06:05] ---**
First, we won't be using the wire
strategy that has won us two matches.
**[06:12] ---**
There are three big reasons.
**[06:14] ---**
First, this map is small
with big buildings.
**[06:18] ---**
There are few spots
to set up wires effectively.
**[06:22] ---**
Next, each opposing team has a Sniper.
**[06:25] ---**
They'll probably attack
from outside the wired zone.
**[06:30] ---**
And finally...
**[06:31] ---**
Even if I set up the wires, it's
likely no one will play by our rules.
**[06:37] ---**
Hm? Why not?
**[06:40] ---**
Out of the four squads,
we need points the most.
**[06:45] ---**
They're aware of that too.
**[06:45] ---**
*1. Ninomiya Squad, 2. Kageura Squad*
*3. Ikoma squad, 4. Tamakoma-2*
**[06:47] ---**
In a defensive game,
we have no choice but to attack.
**[06:48] ---**
*5. Oji Squad, 6. Azuma Squad*
*7. Suzunari-1*
**[06:52] ---**
'Cause we need to surpass Kageura
in the two remaining matches.
**[06:57] ---**
I see.
**[06:59] ---**
Our opponents can run and wait us out.
**[07:01] ---**
But we need to take the offensive
to earn points.
**[07:05] ---**
That's our disadvantage.
**[07:08] ---**
But we also have an advantage.
**[07:11] ---**
And that's you, Hyuse.
**[07:14] ---**
They don't know your combat style.
**[07:17] ---**
They only know you're
an Attacker who uses Kogetsu.
**[07:23] ---**
So, you'll pretend to be a Kogetsu user.
**[07:26] ---**
Then surprise attack with Viper.
**[07:29] ---**
Taking down Kageura Squad
members would be best,
**[07:32] ---**
but you can decide, Hyuse.
**[07:35] ---**
Get the first strike
before they catch on.
**[07:38] ---**
Make sure it counts.
**[07:40] ---**
Understood.
**[07:42] ---**
Beyond that, it's the same as usual.
**[07:45] ---**
Our first goal is to regroup.
**[07:48] ---**
Our two aces, Kuga and Hyuse,
will earn points.
**[07:51] ---**
Chika and I will support
with Lead Bullet and wires.
**[07:56] ---**
We're the only team
with an extra member.
**[07:59] ---**
Just by having four,
we've got an advantage.
**[08:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:03] ---**
Right.
**[08:05] ---**
But as Usami *senpai* said...
**[08:08] ---**
If this turns into an indoor battle,
**[08:11] ---**
Chika should operate alone outdoors.
**[08:14] ---**
Huh?
**[08:15] ---**
It's hard to get a clear shot indoors.
**[08:18] ---**
And it's too risky
to fight close-ranged.
**[08:22] ---**
So you'll aim from
outside the battlefield
**[08:24] ---**
and turn the tables with your blast
if we get overpowered.
**[08:30] ---**
Okay, got it.
**[08:32] ---**
In case they choose to hide,
**[08:34] ---**
let's equip Chika and Hyuse
with Meteor.
**[08:38] ---**
Yes, thank you.
**[08:40] ---**
Very well.
**[08:41] ---**
We'll adapt to our opponents' moves.
**[08:44] ---**
Let's close our point gap with Kageura!
**[08:46] ---**
*9 Minutes to Transfer*
**[08:47] ---**
Roger!
**[08:49] ---**
*B-Rank No. 2 Kageura Squad*
*Strategy Room*
**[08:50] ---**
They must've chosen this map...
**[08:53] ---**
to stay inside the mall
and hinder the Snipers.
**[08:57] ---**
Or to prevent your sloppy Meteor attack.
**[09:01] ---**
Oh, right. That could be it.
**[09:05] ---**
Shouldn't be a problem.
**[09:08] ---**
An indoor slashfest will make my day.
**[09:12] ---**
We don't seem to be at a disadvantage.
**[09:16] ---**
But if that happens,
what will Yuzuru do?
**[09:20] ---**
Shoot through the walls from outside?
**[09:24] ---**
No...
**[09:25] ---**
I'll go inside the mall
and support you two.
**[09:30] ---**
I can't score from outside.
**[09:32] ---**
- You'll fight Gunner-style?
- Can you make that work?
**[09:37] ---**
Tamakoma has an extra member.
**[09:39] ---**
And Suzunari wants me to stay outside.
**[09:43] ---**
I can't be the only one slacking off.
**[09:51] ---**
Sounds fun to me.
**[09:53] ---**
Let's go with that.
**[09:56] ---**
*B-Rank No. 6 Azuma Squad*
*Strategy Room*
**[09:57] ---**
Cityscape D...
Then I want Grasshopper too.
**[10:01] ---**
Right, we'll need vertical mobility.
**[10:04] ---**
Got it.
**[10:06] ---**
Still, why this map?
**[10:09] ---**
Is this really just
an anti-Sniper strategy?
**[10:13] ---**
Of course. It fits Suzunari-1's
Ko-san-centered tactics.
**[10:18] ---**
Yeah, but does that give them
an advantage over Kageura Squad?
**[10:24] ---**
I think they're warier of Azuma-san.
**[10:27] ---**
Restricting Snipers
must be enough for them.
**[10:31] ---**
So Okudera, you're sensing
an ulterior motive?
**[10:36] ---**
Yes, but I can't point out what it is.
**[10:41] ---**
That kind of hunch is essential.
**[10:43] ---**
Your subconscious might be
picking up valuable information.
**[10:49] ---**
So, we wait first to see
our opponent's move?
**[10:54] ---**
I think we should earn points early on
**[10:57] ---**
during the four-way dogfight's
initial confusion.
**[11:01] ---**
It'll be harder once they regroup.
**[11:03] ---**
Especially when Azuma-san is hindered.
**[11:06] ---**
We can only do that if we
get transferred close to each other.
**[11:11] ---**
Tamakoma's rookie
crushed you 5-0, right?
**[11:16] ---**
Can you win
if you fight him in the chaos?
**[11:20] ---**
I'll do better since I'm fully equipped!
**[11:23] ---**
Still...
**[11:24] ---**
Our odds are better
fighting him together.
**[11:27] ---**
See?
**[11:28] ---**
*Tamakoma-2*
*Hyuse Kronin*
**[11:30] ---**
So, Tamakoma's rookie
is an Attacker, right?
**[11:34] ---**
Not sure if he only uses blades.
**[11:37] ---**
But his blade skill
was definitely pro-level.
**[11:40] ---**
So there's still a chance
he's more of an All-Rounder.
**[11:47] ---**
He'll likely use Meteor
or Asteroid on this map.
**[11:51] ---**
A unique map and an unknown foe...
**[11:55] ---**
This match will test
our ability to improvise.
**[11:58] ---**
But never forget the basics.
**[12:01] ---**
How do we fight when we're outnumbered?
**[12:04] ---**
"Put pressure on
the Operator's processing."
**[12:08] ---**
Increase info, make them busy,
**[12:10] ---**
and disrupt their teamwork
to create an opening.
**[12:14] ---**
Good.
**[12:15] ---**
Let's mess around with them.
**[12:17] ---**
*This match could be a chance*
*to measure the growth of these two.*
**[12:24] ---**
*B-Rank No. 7 Suzunari-1*
*Strategy Room*
**[12:25] ---**
Ko and I will try to
regroup inside the mall.
**[12:29] ---**
We'll use Bagworm if necessary.
**[12:32] ---**
We want to battle in the mall.
**[12:34] ---**
Our plan suits
fighting in enclosed spaces.
**[12:39] ---**
Like inside the shops.
**[12:40] ---**
That's right.
**[12:43] ---**
Taichi, move to the designated spot
and sync up with Kon-chan.
**[12:47] ---**
Gotcha!
**[12:49] ---**
Are you sure?
I'm starting to feel nervous.
**[12:53] ---**
Trust me. It'll be fine!
**[12:56] ---**
Taichi's plan is one of a kind.
**[12:59] ---**
The others should be taken aback.
**[13:01] ---**
I know, right?
**[13:03] ---**
Still, it'll only work
for the first few times.
**[13:07] ---**
It's critical we give plenty of damage
before they catch on.
**[13:13] ---**
That's where we come in.
**[13:15] ---**
I'm counting on you, Ko.
**[13:18] ---**
Leave it to me.
**[13:20] ---**
Alright, let's go!
**[13:23] ---**
*Seconds to Transfer*
**[13:26] ---**
*Transmission*
**[13:27] ---**
It's time.
All squads begin transmission.
**[13:40] ---**
*All squads have been transferred.*
**[13:43] ---**
*The map is Cityscape D*
*set for night.*
**[14:00] ---**
*All squads have been transferred.*
**[14:06] ---**
*Map, Cityscape D*
**[14:10] ---**
*set for night.*
**[14:14] ---**
*Every agent starts at*
*a fixed distance from each other.*
**[14:21] ---**
*Night, huh...*
**[14:37] ---**
Let's do this!
**[14:39] ---**
All agents are on the move.
**[14:41] ---**
All teams seem to be equally scattered.
**[14:45] ---**
*Three agents*
*are inside the central mall.*
**[14:48] ---**
*The four Snipers and Captain Mikumo*
*vanished from the radar with Bagworm.*
**[14:54] ---**
Suzunari-1, who chose this map,
is likely to regroup in the mall.
**[14:59] ---**
So, they're trying to fight indoors
to block Sniper shots.
**[15:04] ---**
They also chose nighttime
for the environment.
**[15:07] ---**
Could this be another
anti-Sniper measure?
**[15:11] ---**
Hmm... Can't say.
**[15:14] ---**
Operators can support agents
and enable night vision.
**[15:18] ---**
Nighttime shouldn't give
experienced Snipers too much trouble.
**[15:23] ---**
But every time they move between
dark and well-lit areas,
**[15:27] ---**
their visual support must be switched.
**[15:30] ---**
That could be a hassle
for the Operators.
**[15:34] ---**
Especially Tamakoma-2
with four people.
**[15:37] ---**
Most of the squads
are moving toward the mall.
**[15:40] ---**
*Should I lead Chika-chan outside*
*as planned?*
**[15:47] ---**
*Toma senpai said*
*we should push her to her limit,*
**[15:51] ---**
*then she'll do it.*
**[15:55] ---**
*Now's not the time for that...*
**[15:58] ---**
Yes. Help Chika get outside.
**[16:01] ---**
*Roger.*
**[16:02] ---**
*Let's go, Chika-chan.*
*Tell me if it gets dark.*
**[16:06] ---**
Got it.
**[16:07] ---**
*Kuga and Hyuse regroup quickly.*
*Ignore enemies until then.*
**[16:12] ---**
*Once together, fight back.*
*Get points before our foes decrease.*
**[16:17] ---**
*I'll catch up soon!*
**[16:19] ---**
*Okay. I'll enter from the roof.*
**[16:21] ---**
*I choose the ground floor.*
**[16:24] ---**
*Kuga and Hyuse are so far away.*
**[16:27] ---**
*But the map is small.*
*It shouldn't affect our plan.*
**[16:31] ---**
*Let's meet at the east entrance.*
**[16:34] ---**
*Watch out for Snipers.*
**[16:36] ---**
*Okay.*
**[16:38] ---**
*Azuma-san, will you be*
*observing from outside?*
**[16:41] ---**
*Observing isn't bad,*
*but why did they choose nighttime?*
**[16:47] ---**
*I'll go inside too.*
*Proceed with caution.*
**[16:49] ---**
*Roger.*
**[17:00] ---**
Zoe, which floor are you on?
**[17:03] ---**
*Fourth floor, moving upward.*
**[17:05] ---**
*Are you coming from above?*
**[17:08] ---**
*Someone's down there.*
**[17:10] ---**
*They're approaching,*
*so they must be strong.*
**[17:13] ---**
*Is it Yuma-kun or Ko-kun?*
*I'm freaking out!*
**[17:17] ---**
Tch.
**[17:19] ---**
Don't be a wimp!
**[17:21] ---**
*You coming, Yuzuru?*
**[17:23] ---**
*Start without me.*
**[17:25] ---**
*It'll take time to climb up.*
**[17:28] ---**
*Got it.*
**[17:37] ---**
*It was Ko-kun!*
**[17:43] ---**
*I'll lure him up here.*
**[17:46] ---**
*I've spotted Zoe.*
**[17:47] ---**
*Kage's probably waiting up top.*
**[17:50] ---**
*Kageura-kun...*
*I hoped it'd be someone else.*
**[17:55] ---**
*Taichi, how's it going?*
**[17:58] ---**
*Whoa, it's Koala.*
**[18:02] ---**
*I'm almost there.*
**[18:03] ---**
*Give me a second.*
**[18:05] ---**
*Okay, Ko. We're taking on Kageura Squad.*
**[18:09] ---**
*Roger.*
**[18:11] ---**
*Every squad is rushing into the mall.*
*Is this what Suzunari-1 wanted?*
**[18:17] ---**
Seems like Azuma-san
and Yuzuru-kun will enter, too.
**[18:20] ---**
That can't be part of Suzunari's plan.
**[18:23] ---**
Getting close like that
is risky for the Snipers.
**[18:27] ---**
Their offensive stance
could be a gamble.
**[18:31] ---**
And... Hmm?
**[18:33] ---**
*Suzunari's Sniper, Betsuyaku,*
*is staying on the first floor.*
**[18:38] ---**
*Where does he plan to go?*
**[18:41] ---**
Whoa, Okkun's activated Bagworm?
**[18:44] ---**
*Seems too late for covert ops*
*but too early for sneak attacks...*
**[18:49] ---**
He must be messing with the Operators.
**[18:53] ---**
*It's distracting when agents disappear*
*and reappear on radars at random.*
**[18:58] ---**
I'd expect that from Azuma-san's pupils.
**[19:01] ---**
Ah, a sharp insight
from a former member.
**[19:10] ---**
Two from Kageura and Suzunari-1 have
regrouped and started a fierce battle
**[19:16] ---**
starting with a firefight
across the atrium.
**[19:26] ---**
*It's starting. I hear Gunner shots.*
**[19:29] ---**
*Is it Kageura and Suzunari?*
**[19:37] ---**
*Huh? Mikumo?*
**[19:43] ---**
*I found Mikumo!*
**[19:45] ---**
*Engaging now!*
**[19:47] ---**
Oh, Captain Mikumo
encountered Agent Okudera!
**[19:51] ---**
*Their Bagworm left everyone oblivious!*
**[19:54] ---**
I didn't alert you! Sorry!
**[19:59] ---**
*I'm okay!*
**[20:06] ---**
*I'll lead Azuma Squad to you guys!*
**[20:09] ---**
*No change of plans!*
**[20:11] ---**
Got it.
**[20:13] ---**
Azuma Squad has started to regroup!
**[20:15] ---**
Getting pinned, what'll Mikumo do?
**[20:18] ---**
On the upper floor,
it's Kageura vs. Suzunari-1.
**[20:22] ---**
*With Betsuyaku still missing,*
**[20:24] ---**
*Kageura Squad seems to*
*have an advantage for now.*
**[20:28] ---**
Oh, since you've been away recruiting,
**[20:31] ---**
you haven't seen
their last match, right?
**[20:34] ---**
Huh?
**[20:36] ---**
Suzunari, these days,
**[20:38] ---**
are on a different level...you see.
**[20:53] ---**
*A black Kogetsu?*
**[21:00] ---**
Kogetsu...
**[21:02] ---**
You want to use Kogetsu?
**[21:04] ---**
No, I'm better off using Raygust
with Shield Mode.
**[21:08] ---**
But the kanji, "Arch Moon,"
is so cool!
**[21:09] ---**
*Ko (Arch)*
*Getsu (Moon)*
**[21:11] ---**
Huh?
**[21:12] ---**
It was the first developed
Attacker Trigger, and it's popular.
**[21:14] ---**
*Trusted and Proven*
**[21:17] ---**
The kanji for "solitude"
also reads as "ko,"
**[21:17] ---**
*Ko (Solitude)*
**[21:19] ---**
*Ko (Arch)*
**[21:20] ---**
but this is cooler!
**[21:22] ---**
Uh, okay...
**[21:23] ---**
It's heavier than Scorpions
and doesn't change shape
**[21:25] ---**
*Attack: A, Durability: A, Weight: C*
**[21:27] ---**
but it's more powerful and durable.
**[21:30] ---**
- Oh, I just noticed.
- What?
**[21:32] ---**
- "Ko" looks like the kanji for "fox."
- Y...yeah.
**[21:33] ---**
*Ko (Fox)*
**[21:36] ---**
"Fox Moon" might be a cool name too.
**[21:40] ---**
- I don't think so.
- Why not?
**[21:43] ---**
Some may think
it's possessed by a fox spirit.
**[21:46] ---**
Oh, good point.
**[21:48] ---**
**[21:50] ---**

**[00:12] ---**
*Stage Decided*
**[00:13] ---**
Oh! The map's been decided.
**[00:16] ---**
Suzunari-1's pick is...
**[00:18] ---**
*Stage Decided*
**[00:19] ---**
*B-Rank Wars Round 7
Stage: Cityscape D*
**[00:20] ---**
Cityscape D.
The stage will be Cityscape D.
**[00:24] ---**
Get the first strike
before they catch on.
**[00:26] ---**
Make sure it counts.
**[00:29] ---**
Understood.
**[00:31] ---**
Still, why this map? Is this really
just an anti-Sniper strategy?
**[00:37] ---**
So Okudera, you're sensing
an ulterior motive?
**[00:41] ---**
Yes.
**[00:43] ---**
*Suzunari, these days,
are on a different level...you see.*
**[00:52] ---**
*A black Kogetsu?*
**[01:07] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose*
*what's most precious to me*
**[01:11] ---**
*They slip through my fingers*
*by way of cruel fate*
**[01:16] ---**
*More means of reclaiming*
*our stolen time and hearts*
**[01:20] ---**
*I know that's what*
*we're painfully lacking*
**[01:24] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror*
*The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[01:29] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[01:33] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass*
*A bullet should pierce through*
**[01:37] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[01:41] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[01:45] ---**
*The hopes of thousands*
*are on my shoulders*
**[01:50] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[01:54] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[01:59] ---**
*The yearning that connects*
*our past and present*
**[02:06] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[02:12] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,*
*the light radiates brightly*
**[02:28] ---**
*Secret Plan*
**[02:28] ---**
That's...
**[02:30] ---**
Could that black Kogetsu be connected
to Suzunari's new strategy?
**[02:36] ---**
I don't know, really.
**[02:38] ---**
I've never seen it.
**[02:41] ---**
We can probably see
the new strategy soon.
**[02:44] ---**
Keep up the commentary.
**[02:56] ---**
*Shield.*
**[03:06] ---**
Close combat between
Kageura Squad and Suzunari-1.
**[03:10] ---**
Border's ace Attackers
are crossing swords.
**[03:13] ---**
With his versatile dual Scorpions,
**[03:16] ---**
Kageura has various methods of attack.
**[03:19] ---**
Murakami's solid guards and sharp
strikes make his reactions impenetrable.
**[03:25] ---**
These two and Tamakoma's Kuga
**[03:27] ---**
are rivals in the Solo Rank Wars.
**[03:31] ---**
*Solo Win Rates*
**[03:32] ---**
Here are their win rates
in the recent solo battles.
**[03:35] ---**
Kageura has a slight edge
over the other two.
**[03:40] ---**
The numbers suggest so,
**[03:42] ---**
but this is a one-shot team battle.
**[03:46] ---**
In fact, Kuga-kun beat Ko-kun last time.
**[03:49] ---**
And some people do well
when it counts.
**[03:52] ---**
That's right.
**[03:53] ---**
If an ace had a 4-to-6 solo record,
**[03:56] ---**
some team-based combos
could pull off a win.
**[04:00] ---**
Then, the key factor for victory
**[04:03] ---**
could be how the Gunners
will move to assist their ace?
**[04:09] ---**
Let's see both Gunners' solo points.
**[04:12] ---**
Captain Kuruma has 7,881,
and Agent Kitazoe has 9,728.
**[04:19] ---**
You sure do love numbers,
Yuitsuka-chan.
**[04:22] ---**
Among Gunners who mainly work
as backup, Agent Kitazoe is
**[04:27] ---**
an excellent heavy Gunner with
enough firepower to score by himself.
**[04:32] ---**
Surprisingly, his only demerits
are being slow and a big target.
**[04:38] ---**
That gap in firepower
**[04:41] ---**
*is making Suzunari-1 focus on guarding.*
**[04:44] ---**
*Kageura Squad's crushing attacks
are endless.*
**[04:48] ---**
*If those shields break,
it's all over.*
**[05:00] ---**
Whoa!
**[05:02] ---**
*An all-out attack
by Captain Kuruma?*
**[05:05] ---**
Here we go!
**[05:07] ---**
Kuruma holds double rifles
with no shield.
**[05:10] ---**
No, Murakami's
taking care of defense?
**[05:14] ---**
*Asteroid and Hound at multiple angles
are pushing Kitazoe back.*
**[05:23] ---**
Darn it!
**[05:25] ---**
So Suzunari's new strategy is
double rifles?
**[05:28] ---**
Bingo.
**[05:29] ---**
Specifically, Captain Kuruma
advances far more than usual.
**[05:35] ---**
And behind Murakami's shield,
**[05:37] ---**
*he goes all in on offense.*
**[05:40] ---**
*They can get
an instant boost in a firefight.*
**[05:44] ---**
Suzunari, whose main strategy
was backing up the Attacker in front,
**[05:45] ---**
*Mid Close Long*
**[05:50] ---**
now has a new option
of exchanging midrange shots.
**[05:54] ---**
*Zoe-kun, upper left!*
**[05:56] ---**
*Roger.*
**[05:57] ---**
This formation
has a risk of friendly fire.
**[06:01] ---**
Yet they've mastered it so soon.
**[06:04] ---**
*I think it was Ko-kun's learning ability
and their team practices.*
**[06:09] ---**
*Ugh, this formation again.
This is tough.*
**[06:12] ---**
*Without Yuzuru, we're done for.*
**[06:16] ---**
*No choice. Let's fall back.*
**[06:21] ---**
*Didn't expect that.*
**[06:22] ---**
*3rd Floor, Shopping Mall:
Osamu vs. Okudera & Koarai*
**[06:29] ---**
*Koarai, go upstairs.*
**[06:31] ---**
Gotcha.
**[06:36] ---**
*5th Floor, Shopping Mall*
**[06:43] ---**
*He'll catch up too.*
**[06:46] ---**
*Thruster, on!*
**[06:54] ---**
Get him!
**[07:01] ---**
*I'll hit you both.*
**[07:03] ---**
*This is bad.*
**[07:15] ---**
*He saved Koarai.*
**[07:18] ---**
*To stop Kageura Squad from scoring?*
**[07:30] ---**
*I won't miss again.*
**[07:31] ---**
*Got to get close before he shoots.*
**[07:35] ---**
*It's chaotic upstairs,
so I must catch him here.*
**[07:40] ---**
Okay, three, two, one...
**[07:42] ---**
Switch off.
**[07:54] ---**
*A power outage?*
**[07:59] ---**
*Dang it!*
**[08:00] ---**
*He aimed at my Trigger's light.*
**[08:09] ---**
*The next shot will end you.*
**[08:19] ---**
*Three days ago at the Suzunari Branch*
**[08:25] ---**
We need to create a new strategy
before the next match.
**[08:30] ---**
Really?
**[08:32] ---**
But we're doing well
against top squads in B-Rank.
**[08:35] ---**
*6th Day: Top Groups - Night Session*
**[08:36] ---**
It's not like
we're not a match for them.
**[08:39] ---**
But we couldn't hold out last week.
**[08:39] ---**
*Ninomiya Squad, Kageura Squad
Azuma Squad, Suzunari-1*
**[08:42] ---**
Also, they'll eventually counter
our new gunfire-minded formation.
**[08:48] ---**
A new strategy... You mean
**[08:50] ---**
we need to find a way
that is favorable only to us, right?
**[08:55] ---**
Yeah, exactly.
**[08:59] ---**
*So yummy!*
**[09:01] ---**
For example, poisoning
the other squads' Operators?
**[09:06] ---**
That's logically correct
but sounds crazy.
**[09:10] ---**
We can choose the map
for the next match too,
**[09:14] ---**
so the strategy should be
related to the terrain.
**[09:17] ---**
Terrain, right.
**[09:19] ---**
But Kageura Squad and Tamakoma-2
have similar compositions to ours.
**[09:24] ---**
Getting an edge seems tough.
**[09:28] ---**
Ah, I have an idea.
**[09:30] ---**
There's something
I've been wanting to try.
**[09:34] ---**
What?
**[09:45] ---**
*Kageura Squad and Suzunari-1
are now inside a restaurant.*
**[09:49] ---**
*How will the narrow spaces
and obstacles affect them?*
**[09:57] ---**
Kageura's strike
weaves past blind spots.
**[10:00] ---**
Is the location good for his team?
**[10:02] ---**
Seems like it.
**[10:04] ---**
Tight spaces decrease the impact of
**[10:08] ---**
Captain Kuruma's
double Hound multi-directional attacks.
**[10:13] ---**
It's rare to see Kageura Squad
fighting so smart.
**[10:21] ---**
Regaining their chance,
**[10:23] ---**
*Kageura Squad fights
dominantly in this brawl.*
**[10:27] ---**
*Here we go...*
**[10:28] ---**
*Taichi!*
**[10:29] ---**
*Got it.*
**[10:31] ---**
Okay, three, two, one...
**[10:34] ---**
*Visual support, on.*
**[10:35] ---**
Switch off.
**[10:40] ---**
Oh?
**[10:41] ---**
*The lights...*
**[10:49] ---**
*This guy's...*
**[10:55] ---**
A power outage in the mall?
**[10:57] ---**
I see, Suzunari sent Taichi-kun
**[11:00] ---**
to the power room on the first floor.
**[11:03] ---**
Suzunari's agents now have
night vision switched on.
**[11:07] ---**
To get an advantage in the dark,
**[11:10] ---**
they were ready to kill the lights
with the Operator.
**[11:14] ---**
I see.
**[11:15] ---**
So that black Kogetsu is
**[11:17] ---**
*to make its moves
hard to see in the dark?*
**[11:22] ---**
*Gosh! I should cover you, Kage,
but I may hit you.*
**[11:26] ---**
*Hikari, get us night vision. Now!*
**[11:29] ---**
Already on it.
**[11:30] ---**
You guys can't do anything
without me...
**[11:37] ---**
Kageura Squad also got visual support.
**[11:40] ---**
Taichi's playing this light trick?
**[11:43] ---**
What a pesky strategy!
**[11:45] ---**
Now we're on even ground.
**[11:48] ---**
*- Taichi.
- Yup.*
**[11:50] ---**
Three, two, one...
**[11:52] ---**
*Visual support, off.*
**[11:54] ---**
*Switch on.*
**[12:00] ---**
*Captain Kageura got a big one.*
**[12:02] ---**
*Was it a fatal hit?*
**[12:04] ---**
Timing the light
with the enemy's night vision.
**[12:08] ---**
This is brutal.
**[12:09] ---**
*NAME: Masato Kageura*
**[12:10] ---**
The hit missed his vitals, but
**[12:12] ---**
the relay system on his arm
was severed.
**[12:15] ---**
The Trion leakage is huge.
**[12:17] ---**
He would've been killed five times
without his Side Effect.
**[12:22] ---**
*Get night vision off.
Too bright!*
**[12:25] ---**
I'm doing it already.
**[12:27] ---**
Suzunari-1 is controlling
the flow here.
**[12:30] ---**
They can make chances
over and over with the lights.
**[12:35] ---**
*Yuzuru, can you shoot Taichi-kun?*
**[12:37] ---**
*I'll probably miss him.
He's not even on radar.*
**[12:41] ---**
*But I can break the fuse box.
Hikari, tell me the spot.*
**[12:45] ---**
Y'all making me busy!
**[12:52] ---**
Oh! Shooting at me already?
**[12:54] ---**
Escudo by Agent Betsuyaku?
**[12:56] ---**
He was prepared against the attack.
**[12:59] ---**
*No. He seems to be shielded.*
**[13:01] ---**
*We must get him directly.*
**[13:03] ---**
Darn! What a tough situation.
**[13:12] ---**
Kitazoe broke
the restaurant's light fixtures.
**[13:15] ---**
I see, now they can't use
that light trick.
**[13:20] ---**
Simple but useful idea.
**[13:21] ---**
That's what I like about Zoe.
**[13:25] ---**
*They reacted so soon.*
**[13:26] ---**
*We can't keep the edge here anymore.*
**[13:29] ---**
*We should take Kage out
early on though.*
**[13:33] ---**
I was hurt pretty badly. Curses!
**[13:36] ---**
Don't worry.
Let's get reorganized.
**[13:40] ---**
Heavier damage to Kageura Squad.
**[13:43] ---**
What's their next move?
**[13:46] ---**
Well, they'd normally use
Zoe's Meteor
**[13:49] ---**
to break the walls
and let themselves outside the mall.
**[13:54] ---**
But they don't know
where the two Snipers are waiting at.
**[13:58] ---**
They can't make
reckless moves like that.
**[14:02] ---**
True.
**[14:03] ---**
The other teams have no idea
Azuma's inside the mall.
**[14:08] ---**
They may think they'll be sniped at
outside the building.
**[14:15] ---**
*Is one of the other teams
turning the lights on and off?*
**[14:20] ---**
*Usami* senpai*'s quick support
saved my life.*
**[14:25] ---**
*That light trick ruined my right arm,*
**[14:28] ---**
*but it also helped me escape.*
**[14:35] ---**
*Things could be worse.*
**[14:38] ---**
*Still, I need to do something
about the light to move freely.*
**[14:49] ---**
Taichi!
**[14:50] ---**
*People are headed your way.*
**[14:52] ---**
Huh?
**[14:53] ---**
They're off the radar.
**[14:55] ---**
Get out of there now.
**[14:57] ---**
*Copy.*
**[14:59] ---**
It's best to retreat for now.
**[15:02] ---**
Escudo.
**[15:08] ---**
Indeed, someone was
controlling the lights.
**[15:11] ---**
But it was a detour for us.
**[15:13] ---**
We had to wait for him up there.
**[15:16] ---**
We're still following his order
to regroup. No problem.
**[15:22] ---**
Let's go get points.
**[15:24] ---**
Alright.
**[15:36] ---**
*Something happened
on the first floor.*
**[15:39] ---**
Agent Betsuyaku, Bail out.
**[15:41] ---**
First point goes to Tamakoma-2.
**[15:44] ---**
*B-Rank No.7 Suzunari-1*
**[15:45] ---**
And Suzunari's environmental tactic
comes to an end.
**[15:46] ---**
*B-Rank No.2 Kageura Squad*
**[15:49] ---**
*B-Rank No.6 Azuma Squad*
**[15:49] ---**
How will they act now?
**[15:52] ---**
*B-Rank No.4 Tamakoma-2*
**[15:52] ---**
Will Tamakoma's two men on the first
floor define the upcoming flow?
**[16:00] ---**
We must hurry upstairs.
**[16:02] ---**
I know. Watch for Snipers.
**[16:09] ---**
*Two from Tamakoma went up
through the atrium.*
**[16:12] ---**
*Be careful.*
**[16:13] ---**
*Roger.*
**[16:20] ---**
*6th Floor, Shopping Mall*
**[16:30] ---**
It's Tamakoma.
**[16:34] ---**
They jumped straight up
and disabled their Bagworms.
**[16:37] ---**
Three squads,
keeping each other in check.
**[16:40] ---**
If someone takes a hasty action,
**[16:43] ---**
the enemy will come from behind.
**[16:46] ---**
Kage's a step ahead in melee
**[16:48] ---**
but lost too much Trion earlier.
**[16:51] ---**
*Bagworm*
**[16:52] ---**
And we don't know much about
Tamakoma's rookie yet.
**[16:56] ---**
Yes, this is his first match
in the B-Rank Wars.
**[17:00] ---**
His Trigger set is still unknown.
**[17:04] ---**
*The other squads are
biding their time*
**[17:07] ---**
*hoping to see what he can do.*
**[17:10] ---**
They say he was a great user of
Kogetsu in the Solo Rank Wars.
**[17:15] ---**
Does that mean
he's in the Attacker position?
**[17:18] ---**
Well... I'm not sure about that yet.
**[17:24] ---**
*Osamu, how are things
down there?*
**[17:26] ---**
*Are you going to come up?*
**[17:28] ---**
*5th Floor, Shopping Mall*
**[17:29] ---**
*There are Ema and
Azuma Squad's two Attackers here.*
**[17:33] ---**
*I'll find a chance to go.*
**[17:35] ---**
*If I go upstairs,
I'll be killed at close range.*
**[17:39] ---**
*Can I hit the enemies up there
from here?*
**[17:42] ---**
*Ema's alone.
Let's make a pincer attack.*
**[17:45] ---**
*Koarai, come up quickly.*
**[17:47] ---**
*4th Floor, Shopping Mall*
**[17:47] ---**
*Almost there.*
**[17:48] ---**
*Mikumo's in stealth.
Stay alert.*
**[17:51] ---**
*I know that.*
**[17:52] ---**
*6th Floor, Shopping Mall*
**[17:53] ---**
*Tamakoma'll try to score
from Kageura Squad*
**[17:56] ---**
*since they want to
join the expedition.*
**[18:00] ---**
*Once they make a move,
let's attack.*
**[18:02] ---**
*Attack*
**[18:02] ---**
*Got it.*
**[18:03] ---**
We have three two-men groups
on the sixth floor.
**[18:08] ---**
*Which will move first?*
**[18:10] ---**
*Or will they wait for their mates
to come up?*
**[18:13] ---**
*Tamakoma's coming at us.*
**[18:15] ---**
*Gotcha.*
**[18:16] ---**
*Let's begin.*
**[18:17] ---**
*Okay.*
**[18:19] ---**
*Escudo.*
**[18:28] ---**
He...used Escudo
to block the hallway?
**[18:31] ---**
*That 2-on-2-on-2 situation
instantly turned into a 2-on-1.*
**[18:40] ---**
*Kogetsu?*
**[18:43] ---**
*That's not it.*
**[18:46] ---**
*Bullets!*
**[18:47] ---**
So huge.
**[18:53] ---**
*Using bullets to blind me?*
**[19:05] ---**
I knew you'd do that.
**[19:13] ---**
Hoping you'd beat me
in a two-on-one?
**[19:16] ---**
No.
**[19:28] ---**
Captain Kageura got hit.
But how?
**[19:31] ---**
He did a delayed dual assault
on his own.
**[19:35] ---**
By firing half of his bullets later,
**[19:38] ---**
he simulated
a three-on-one situation.
**[19:43] ---**
*It was an idea
to secure Hyuse's first attack*
**[19:47] ---**
*using the fact that
his combat style's unknown.*
**[19:51] ---**
*Kuga and Hyuse caught Kageura* senpai*.*
**[19:55] ---**
*The two from Suzunari
are over there.*
**[19:59] ---**
*But...why isn't Hyuse using
the deflecting trajectories of Viper?*
**[20:05] ---**
*Warning.
Critical Trion loss.*
**[20:08] ---**
Without much Trion and a leg,
Kage may be done for.
**[20:14] ---**
You bastard!
**[20:23] ---**
*Kitazoe* senpai *joined him?*
**[20:29] ---**
Eek! Not that again.
**[20:32] ---**
Oh, no!
**[20:47] ---**
*Meteor for a mutual kill before dying?*
**[20:50] ---**
*Agent Kitazoe, Bail out.*
**[20:52] ---**
*And Agent Kuga...predicted it?*
**[20:55] ---**
*He used his shield.*
**[21:07] ---**
Captain Kageura fell downstairs.
**[21:15] ---**
Crap.
**[21:17] ---**
*Severe Trion loss.
Bail out.*
**[21:23] ---**
*Captain Kageura bails out too!*
**[21:25] ---**
He's been really damaged
**[21:27] ---**
and couldn't keep Tamakoma at bay.
**[21:32] ---**
Wait.
**[21:34] ---**
That's not it.
Suzunari-1 scored here.
**[21:37] ---**
*The point goes to Suzunari-1.*
**[21:40] ---**
**[21:42] ---**

**[00:13] ---**
Hoping you'd beat me
in a two-on-one?
**[00:16] ---**
No.
**[00:22] ---**
Crap.
**[00:24] ---**
Huh?
**[00:26] ---**
Suzunari-1 scored here.
**[00:28] ---**
*7. Suzunari-1*
**[00:28] ---**
The point goes to Suzunari-1.
**[00:35] ---**
*Unrivaled*
**[00:39] ---**
What? Why is that?
**[00:42] ---**
I guess he took an even bigger hit
before fighting us.
**[00:47] ---**
When agents bail out from Trion loss,
**[00:50] ---**
the one who dealt the most damage
to them gets the point.
**[00:55] ---**
Murakami's slash must've been
the heaviest hit Kageura took.
**[01:01] ---**
I've never seen Kage flee like that.
**[01:05] ---**
*He must've been determined*
*not to let Tamakoma score.*
**[01:11] ---**
Nice escape.
**[01:15] ---**
*Kitazoe pretended to take Kuga down*
*but created an escape route for Kageura.*
**[01:21] ---**
His judgment was excellent.
**[01:25] ---**
It's just like with Nasu.
**[01:32] ---**
We misread our enemy's damage.
**[01:34] ---**
Don't sweat it.
**[01:47] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose*
*what's most precious to me*
**[01:51] ---**
*They slip through my fingers*
*by way of cruel fate*
**[01:56] ---**
*More means of reclaiming*
*our stolen time and hearts*
**[02:00] ---**
*I know that's what*
*we're painfully lacking*
**[02:04] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror*
*The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[02:09] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[02:13] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass*
*A bullet should pierce through*
**[02:17] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[02:21] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[02:25] ---**
*The hopes of thousands*
*are on my shoulders*
**[02:30] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[02:34] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[02:39] ---**
*The yearning that connects*
*our past and present*
**[02:46] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[02:52] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,*
*the light radiates brightly*
**[03:08] ---**
Tamakoma-2 missed the point for
Captain Kageura but purged two of them.
**[03:15] ---**
*Riding the momentum,*
*they're taking on Suzunari-1.*
**[03:20] ---**
*Don't let those walls separate us.*
**[03:23] ---**
*- Beware of Escudo's range.*
*- Roger.*
**[03:26] ---**
*I also saw his Bullet Trigger.*
*It's a delayed-action Asteroid.*
**[03:31] ---**
*So he's an All-Rounder*
*who fights out front.*
**[03:35] ---**
*Right.*
**[03:37] ---**
*Let's use our long-ranged
shooting formation.*
**[03:41] ---**
*I'll handle their shots.*
**[03:52] ---**
*Suzunari's new formation again.*
**[03:55] ---**
*This strategy cornered Kageura Squad.*
*How will Tamakoma-2 counter?*
**[04:03] ---**
*Now I get it.*
**[04:04] ---**
*Earlier, he shot the Viper straight*
*to show it to Suzunari-1.*
**[04:09] ---**
*He faked it as Asteroid to break down*
*Murakami*senpai*'s defense with Viper!*
**[04:17] ---**
*Tamakoma-2 has fired back.*
**[04:19] ---**
*Hyuse is a skilled Trion user, but*
*Kuruma's fullattack could be on par.*
**[04:26] ---**
*The bullets aren't curving.*
*Was I wrong? Wait...*
**[04:31] ---**
*Hyuse, why aren't you*
*redirecting your shots?*
**[04:34] ---**
*Wasn't that our plan?*
**[04:36] ---**
*Change of plans. I won't use*
*curving bullets in this match.*
**[04:41] ---**
*I'll defeat them differently.*
**[04:43] ---**
*I'll explain why after the battle.*
**[04:48] ---**
*You did everything I requested.*
**[04:52] ---**
*I will fulfill my end of the deal.*
**[04:55] ---**
*I swear to take this team*
*to the expedition.*
**[04:59] ---**
*For my sake as well.*
**[05:02] ---**
*So...you have an idea?*
**[05:05] ---**
*I do.*
**[05:09] ---**
*Got it. What should I do?*
**[05:13] ---**
*Once we take hold of Murakami,*
**[05:15] ---**
*help by aiming at Kuruma from behind.*
**[05:18] ---**
*Okay!*
**[05:21] ---**
*There are only enemies above.*
**[05:24] ---**
*If they pause,*
*I can hit them via the ceiling.*
**[05:27] ---**
*I wanted to get points*
*from Tamakoma,*
**[05:31] ---**
*but I guess I won't have that luxury.*
**[05:37] ---**
*Ema's right around here.*
*He's probably aiming up.*
**[05:41] ---**
*Okay, got it. Ready when you are.*
**[05:45] ---**
*Stay sharp.*
*Ema can strike up close.*
**[05:48] ---**
*Make him fire.*
*Hit him while he's reloading.*
**[05:56] ---**
*A third round of Escudo from Hyuse.*
**[06:01] ---**
*Are they approaching*
*instead of firing back?*
**[06:04] ---**
*- They're coming, Ko!*
*- Roger.*
**[06:11] ---**
*I'll intercept.*
**[06:18] ---**
*Hound!*
**[06:25] ---**
*Kogetsu: Whirlwind.*
**[06:38] ---**
Murakami's slash has stopped
Tamakoma-2 from approaching.
**[06:43] ---**
The distanced firefight
seems to be Suzunari-1's plan.
**[06:47] ---**
Escudo has much more durability
than ordinary shields.
**[06:52] ---**
But Murakami's Kogetsu: Whirlwind
and Thruster slash can cut them up.
**[06:58] ---**
I bet it'll take more than Escudo
**[07:01] ---**
for Tamakoma to repel
Suzunari's formation.
**[07:05] ---**
Obviously, Tamakoma
wants to approach Kuruma *senpai*.
**[07:09] ---**
But Ko-kun's defense is solid.
**[07:12] ---**
*Although I admit Tamakoma's duo*
*is both A-Rank level,*
**[07:16] ---**
*dealing with Ko-kun focused on defense*
*should be a hassle.*
**[07:21] ---**
They should split the two and fight
two-on-one like with Kageura Squad.
**[07:27] ---**
If it's a numbers game,
**[07:29] ---**
Captain Mikumo is on the opposite side
of the same floor.
**[07:33] ---**
Hmm...
**[07:35] ---**
Yeah, but he can't receive cover
from his allies there.
**[07:40] ---**
*If Suzunari notices his location,*
*he'll be shot down in no time.*
**[07:46] ---**
But they could pull off a pincer strike
if they get the timing right.
**[08:12] ---**
*Tamakoma's slowly losing ground.*
**[08:14] ---**
*Suzunari has the lead in this firefight.*
**[08:21] ---**
It's a pity Kuga-kun
can't fight from there.
**[08:30] ---**
*Escudo again?*
**[08:33] ---**
*- Don't get separated.*
*- Got it.*
**[08:58] ---**
He grew an Escudo
on Murakami's body?!
**[09:05] ---**
*Captain Mikumo made his move.*
**[09:07] ---**
*Captain Kuruma got pierced*
*with Asteroid, off-guard.*
**[09:16] ---**
*Thruster.*
**[09:27] ---**
A pincer attack, two-on-one!
**[09:29] ---**
*Ko will always prioritize*
*defending Kuruma*senpai*.*
**[09:33] ---**
*Mikumo-kun must've read that*
*and targeted Kuruma*senpai*.*
**[09:38] ---**
*A single Kogetsu can't handle*
*foes on both sides.*
**[09:42] ---**
*He'll receive one of their attacks!*
**[09:46] ---**
*Kogetsu...*
**[09:50] ---**
*Whirlwind!*
**[09:57] ---**
- What?!
- Neat trick.
**[10:00] ---**
*Trying to cut down both*
*in a single move? And...*
**[10:04] ---**
*Ko-kun's faster than the two!*
**[10:25] ---**
*Trion supply system damaged.*
**[10:28] ---**
*Bail out.*
**[10:39] ---**
*Tamakoma's teamwork surpassed his skill.*
**[10:42] ---**
*Agent Murakami bails out!
And now...*
**[10:46] ---**
*Captain Kuruma can't escape!*
**[10:57] ---**
*He fired!*
**[10:58] ---**
*Trion body limit exceeded. Bail out.*
**[11:03] ---**
*Through the ceiling?*
*Was it Azuma-san?*
**[11:06] ---**
*Ema made the shot on Captain Kuruma.*
**[11:09] ---**
*Now, Suzunari-1 is annihilated.*
**[11:12] ---**
*It was Ema?*
**[11:13] ---**
*This is bad!*
**[11:15] ---**
Too late.
**[11:21] ---**
Osamu!
**[11:23] ---**
*Warning. Critical Trion loss.*
**[11:27] ---**
Captain Mikumo has taken
massive damage. However...
**[11:31] ---**
The Azuma Squad duo
is closing in on Agent Ema.
**[11:36] ---**
*- Get Ema with Whirlwind when he jumps.
- Gotcha.*
**[11:39] ---**
Seems like Yuzuru-kun
won't have time to reload.
**[11:56] ---**
*Ema made a free fall escape
via the atrium!*
**[12:02] ---**
Not quite...
**[12:18] ---**
*Captain Azuma was lying in wait!*
**[12:22] ---**
Agent Ema bails out!
**[12:25] ---**
Which means...
**[12:27] ---**
This match is down to two teams left,
Tamakoma-2 and Azuma Squad.
**[12:39] ---**
*Azuma-san was also in the building?*
**[12:43] ---**
They got me.
**[12:45] ---**
Sweet ceiling shot.
**[12:47] ---**
*2. Kageura Squad, 4. Tamakoma-2*
*6. Azuma Squad, 7. Suzunari-1*
**[12:48] ---**
These are the current points.
**[12:50] ---**
Azuma Squad scored
and created a three-way tie.
**[12:54] ---**
That point came from
Azuma Squad's signature move.
**[12:58] ---**
The Attackers corner their foe
for the Sniper.
**[13:01] ---**
*Ema was doomed when he
got trapped near the atrium.*
**[13:05] ---**
*Okudera and Koarai scored that point.*
**[13:09] ---**
*I see.*
**[13:11] ---**
Now, Azuma Squad is
observing Tamakoma from below.
**[13:16] ---**
*As for Tamakoma-2 on the 6th floor,*
**[13:18] ---**
*Captain Mikumo seems to be hindered,*
*missing a leg.*
**[13:22] ---**
Osamu-kun, you're low on Trion.
You probably won't last long.
**[13:28] ---**
Kageura will get another point...
**[13:31] ---**
I failed to estimate
that Ema might sacrifice himself.
**[13:35] ---**
It wasn't your fault.
**[13:39] ---**
And it's thanks to you
we beat Murakami *senpai*.
**[13:43] ---**
Mikumo-kun's likely to bail out.
That could impact the rankings.
**[13:48] ---**
These were the ranks and points
before Round 7 began.
**[13:52] ---**
*2. Kageura Squad, 4. Tamakoma-2*
*6. Azuma Squad, 7. Suzunari-1*
**[13:53] ---**
If we add the current points
from this round...
**[13:57] ---**
If Mikumo drops out,
Kageura Squad will reach 36 points.
**[14:01] ---**
Tamakoma-2 will be three points behind.
**[14:04] ---**
Tamakoma needs to reach
B-Rank No. 2 to get in the Away squad.
**[14:10] ---**
To surpass the current No. 2,
Kageura Squad,
**[14:14] ---**
they need four more points.
**[14:16] ---**
That's tougher than I thought.
**[14:19] ---**
They need to wipe out Azuma Squad
**[14:21] ---**
and get two points
for surviving, at least.
**[14:25] ---**
- But can they take down Azuma-san?
- Good point.
**[14:29] ---**
Captain Azuma has bailed out
only once in all six rounds so far.
**[14:33] ---**
That was in Round 2, when Yuba, Oji,
and Katori Squad attacked him at once.
**[14:39] ---**
If Captain Mikumo drops from Trion loss,
Kageura Squad will earn another point.
**[14:46] ---**
It's better if Azuma Squad
takes him down before that.
**[14:51] ---**
Well, technically, yes.
**[14:53] ---**
But I'm sure manipulating points by
suicide will incur a penalty.
**[14:58] ---**
A voluntary Bail out
60m away from opponents
**[15:02] ---**
can avoid giving Kageura Squad a point.
**[15:06] ---**
But that seems impossible
when they're all in the mall.
**[15:11] ---**
*Kuga and Hyuse are overwhelming*
*our opponents in battle...*
**[15:16] ---**
*But our point gap just won't shrink.*
**[15:19] ---**
*Is this why I felt so uneasy*
*before the match?*
**[15:24] ---**
I'm sorry, Kuga, Hyuse, Chika.
**[15:27] ---**
*Severe Trion loss.*
**[15:29] ---**
The rest is on you guys.
**[15:31] ---**
*Bail out.*
**[15:33] ---**
Leave it to us.
**[15:35] ---**
Yup.
**[15:39] ---**
*As expected,*
*Captain Mikumo bailed out.*
**[15:42] ---**
*A second point for Kageura Squad.*
**[15:45] ---**
- Oh.
- It must be Mikumo.
**[15:48] ---**
*4. Tamakoma-2, 6. Azuma Squad*
**[15:49] ---**
Both squads are down to three agents.
**[15:52] ---**
And Kuga seems to have the most damage.
**[15:56] ---**
- I'll support them too.
- Okay.
**[16:00] ---**
How will this battle evolve?
**[16:02] ---**
It's three-on-three,
but their arrays are different.
**[16:06] ---**
Right.
**[16:07] ---**
The regrouped Azuma Squad
could have the lead.
**[16:11] ---**
But Tamakoma, with their Sniper
unspotted, also has an advantage.
**[16:16] ---**
Depending on how effective Amatori is,
**[16:19] ---**
this battle could go either way.
**[16:25] ---**
*- We're coming up from the south side.*
*- Okay.*
**[16:29] ---**
*I'll take the north.*
**[16:31] ---**
*Amatori is still unseen. Stay alert.*
**[16:33] ---**
*Roger!*
**[16:34] ---**
*Hitomi, the Beacons.*
**[16:36] ---**
Okay. Activating Beacons.
**[16:48] ---**
Oh? Azuma Squad has
activated Dummy Beacons.
**[16:52] ---**
*They're causing chaos on the radars.*
**[16:55] ---**
What's this?
**[16:57] ---**
Azuma uses these decoys at times.
I saw it in the logs.
**[17:01] ---**
What a number. He's pouring
tons of Trion into this tactic.
**[17:06] ---**
*Did he know the mall fight
would be pivotal?*
**[17:11] ---**
The Beacons move robotically.
You can tell them apart from humans.
**[17:15] ---**
But if you focus on their movement,
you'll get sniped.
**[17:19] ---**
*Be careful.*
**[17:20] ---**
I see. It's a double-layered diversion.
**[17:24] ---**
This is pretty tough.
**[17:27] ---**
Azuma Squad is
using the indoor setting well.
**[17:31] ---**
The space is dense with Beacons.
**[17:33] ---**
For the few minutes
the Beacons' Trion lasts,
**[17:36] ---**
Azuma Squad has a huge advantage.
**[17:39] ---**
Oh, even a former member approves.
**[17:42] ---**
Let's see how Tamakoma
will survive this.
**[17:47] ---**
*This situation...*
**[17:49] ---**
*It's hard to get a clear shot indoors.*
**[17:51] ---**
*And it's too risky*
*to fight close-ranged.*
**[17:55] ---**
*So you'll aim from*
*outside the battlefield*
**[17:58] ---**
*and turn the tables with your blast*
*if we get overpowered.*
**[18:04] ---**
Chika! Now's your chance!
**[18:07] ---**
Blow a hole in the mall with Meteor!
**[18:11] ---**
Open up the confined battlefield!
**[18:15] ---**
Roger!
**[18:17] ---**
*Aim at the side nearest to you*
*to keep our mates safe.*
**[18:21] ---**
*Got it!*
**[18:25] ---**
Meteor!
**[19:05] ---**
Ah...
**[19:06] ---**
Ugh...
**[19:08] ---**
Wha...
**[19:09] ---**
*What was that?! Half the mall's gone*
*from that one blast!*
**[19:14] ---**
I've seen her Ibis shots
in the logs, but...
**[19:18] ---**
This is what she can do with Meteor...
Never knew.
**[19:22] ---**
*4. Tamakoma-2, 6. Azuma Squad*
**[19:22] ---**
Okudera dropped out
from that massive explosion!
**[19:26] ---**
Tamakoma-2 earns another point!
**[19:29] ---**
But previous intel stated
**[19:32] ---**
that Agent Amatori can't shoot people,
did it not?
**[19:36] ---**
Yeah, oddly enough.
**[19:39] ---**
*If she has overcome that weakness,*
*they're bound to win.*
**[19:43] ---**
*But if so, she'd have*
*shot them earlier.*
**[19:46] ---**
*Maybe that hit was unintentional?*
**[19:49] ---**
*Chika! That was just an accident!*
**[19:52] ---**
*Don't worry. You did great!*
**[19:54] ---**
R...Right...
**[19:57] ---**
That got about half the decoys.
**[19:59] ---**
And an Attacker.
It'll be easier for us to move.
**[20:03] ---**
*Great support, Chika. Thanks.*
**[20:06] ---**
Yeah...
**[20:11] ---**
*This is crazy! I thought she
couldn't shoot people!*
**[20:16] ---**
We thought so too, but...
**[20:19] ---**
*There's a possibility that she*
*overcame that just now...*
**[20:24] ---**
*We can't assume she won't shoot us.*
*Let's cook up a new plan.*
**[20:29] ---**
*So, what now?*
**[20:33] ---**
First off, if we stay close
to Tamakoma's members,
**[20:36] ---**
we'll be safe from those blasts.
**[20:38] ---**
*Right.*
**[20:40] ---**
Seems like they plan to
hide close to Tamakoma.
**[20:44] ---**
Even if Amatori-chan
can shoot people,
**[20:47] ---**
she won't blast her mates.
**[20:49] ---**
She could sacrifice them
to wipe out foes,
**[20:52] ---**
but they'd be screwed
if a foe survives.
**[20:58] ---**
*Now then...*
**[20:59] ---**
*The situation has changed vastly.*
**[21:03] ---**
*The condition, forces, positions,
and intel on each other...*
**[21:07] ---**
*Taking all that into account...*
**[21:11] ---**
*What's our next move?*
**[21:16] ---**
*This is where I get to see how much*
*Okudera and Koarai have really grown.*
**[21:32] ---**
How many points until
second is all ours?
**[21:37] ---**
Three more.

**[00:12] ---**
*This match is down to two teams left,
Tamakoma-2 and Azuma Squad.*
**[00:17] ---**
The rest is on you guys.
**[00:19] ---**
*Bail out.*
**[00:22] ---**
*As expected,
Captain Mikumo bailed out.*
**[00:26] ---**
Meteor!
**[00:42] ---**
*What was that?! Half the mall's gone
from that one blast!*
**[00:47] ---**
How many points until
second is all ours?
**[00:52] ---**
Three more.
**[01:10] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose
what's most precious to me*
**[01:14] ---**
*They slip through my fingers
by way of cruel fate*
**[01:19] ---**
*More means of reclaiming
our stolen time and hearts*
**[01:23] ---**
*I know that's what
we're painfully lacking*
**[01:27] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror
The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[01:32] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[01:36] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass
A bullet should pierce through*
**[01:41] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[01:44] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[01:48] ---**
*The hopes of thousands
are on my shoulders*
**[01:53] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[01:58] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[02:02] ---**
*The yearning that connects
our past and present*
**[02:09] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[02:15] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,
the light radiates brightly*
**[02:31] ---**
*Decision*
**[02:43] ---**
The B-Rank Wars Round 7
is nearing its end.
**[02:46] ---**
Five from two squads are left.
**[02:49] ---**
Let's see their positions.
**[02:51] ---**
Tamakoma-2 is searching for
the outnumbered, hidden Azuma Squad.
**[03:00] ---**
*Agent Hyuse is reducing possible
escape routes for Azuma Squad.*
**[03:05] ---**
*Escudo's range is normally
about 25 meters.*
**[03:09] ---**
*But I guess his Trion level
can extend it farther.*
**[03:22] ---**
Here's what Tamakoma's plan looks like.
**[03:25] ---**
*Amatori scopes out
the open area in the South.*
**[03:33] ---**
*And Hyuse approaches
from the other end.*
**[03:36] ---**
*If Azuma Squad reacts to him,
Kuga breaks in.*
**[03:41] ---**
*That is how I see it.*
**[03:43] ---**
Azuma Squad seems to have read
Tamakoma's game.
**[03:47] ---**
How will they move?
**[03:49] ---**
*They're attempting to run us out slowly.*
**[03:53] ---**
*We're losing options as time passes.*
**[03:57] ---**
*Let me hear your thoughts.*
**[04:02] ---**
Full retreat.
**[04:04] ---**
We can hardly win like this.
**[04:07] ---**
We might as well cut our losses.
**[04:10] ---**
*Okudera says retreat.
What about you, Koarai?*
**[04:15] ---**
*Running from a fight isn't my style.*
**[04:19] ---**
*I want to score
even if I must sacrifice myself.*
**[04:23] ---**
*That's how I really feel, but...*
**[04:27] ---**
*I bet Kuga is sneaking around here.*
**[04:30] ---**
*Risking my life would mean nothing.*
**[04:34] ---**
*Let's retreat.*
**[04:37] ---**
*Okay.*
**[04:39] ---**
*But with this damaged leg,
I'm not sure I can run enough.*
**[04:43] ---**
*I'd be spotted
if I used Grasshopper.*
**[04:46] ---**
*And they're blocking every route.*
**[04:48] ---**
We can mislead them
with the remaining beacons.
**[04:52] ---**
I'll direct you to the exit.
**[04:55] ---**
*Thanks, Mako-san!*
**[04:57] ---**
*First, we escape this mall.*
**[05:00] ---**
*Hitomi, give me control
over some beacons.*
**[05:04] ---**
*Preferably the ones outside.*
**[05:06] ---**
*Roger that.*
**[05:12] ---**
The enemy markers are...
**[05:15] ---**
Oh, some radar reactions indicate
Azuma Squad is heading south.
**[05:20] ---**
*Is that to apply pressure on Amatori,
guessing her location?*
**[05:26] ---**
*I think Tamakoma sees it
as a bluff for sure.*
**[05:31] ---**
*It's probably a diversion
using the beacons.*
**[05:34] ---**
*Should I destroy them
with Chika's Meteor?*
**[05:38] ---**
*Wait, they might want to make her attack
to find her position.*
**[05:43] ---**
*It's deception.*
**[05:46] ---**
*Must be a feint to make us
focus on defense. Leave it.*
**[05:50] ---**
Well, you'd normally
be right about that.
**[05:55] ---**
*But Azuma-san is doing this.*
**[05:57] ---**
*Maybe he wants us to think it's a bluff?*
**[06:01] ---**
*Chika's covering the outside.*
**[06:03] ---**
*I've sealed most of the exits.*
**[06:06] ---**
*If they try to escape,
we'll notice immediately.*
**[06:10] ---**
*It's not very likely
they've left the mall.*
**[06:14] ---**
*This obvious trick to confuse us
shows how seriously they're cornered.*
**[06:21] ---**
*Honestly, I think so too.*
**[06:23] ---**
*Chika Amatori*
**[06:24] ---**
*But what if...
there's a chance that's not it...*
**[06:30] ---**
*Two signatures vanished?*
**[06:32] ---**
Whoa, that's some more trickery
to deal with.
**[06:35] ---**
Azuma-san stirs things up that way.
**[06:38] ---**
*Now it's Tamakoma's turn to take action.*
**[06:43] ---**
The easiest solution would be having
Agent Amatori start running.
**[06:49] ---**
But they can't check the south side
of the mall while she's moving.
**[06:54] ---**
If they want to keep up their offense,
she should stay put.
**[06:59] ---**
Then what options
are available to them?
**[07:03] ---**
Stick to the ongoing strategy
assuming the trick is a bluff,
**[07:07] ---**
or shift to defending Amatori,
giving up on offense just in case.
**[07:13] ---**
Or some third option?
**[07:16] ---**
Considering Mikumo-kun's personality,
**[07:18] ---**
giving up on
protecting Amatori-chan is...
**[07:22] ---**
Not the one he'd pick.
**[07:25] ---**
Halt the offensive.
Go to cover Chika.
**[07:30] ---**
*Hm.*
**[07:31] ---**
*What? Don't be silly.*
**[07:34] ---**
*You want to let them go?*
**[07:38] ---**
If we lose Chika now,
Azuma Squad would get away in the end.
**[07:44] ---**
If she's alive, her explosion can
expose them if they run.
**[07:48] ---**
So securing her is our top priority.
**[07:53] ---**
*That's sloppy.*
**[07:55] ---**
*Remember the last battle.*
**[07:58] ---**
*Azuma can shoot down cannonballs.*
**[08:01] ---**
*Chika wasn't countered earlier
only because he was inside the mall.*
**[08:07] ---**
*If Azuma can move freely,
he'll shoot down her Meteor.*
**[08:13] ---**
*Taking advantage of your nature,*
**[08:15] ---**
*he's leading you
to the unlikeliest option.*
**[08:19] ---**
*As I told you, I refuse to follow
illogical orders.*
**[08:27] ---**
*Osamu-kun.*
**[08:29] ---**
*I know that Hyuse
is most likely correct.*
**[08:33] ---**
*But...*
**[08:35] ---**
*I can't ignore the what-if scenario.*
**[08:39] ---**
*Jin-san told me not to waver.*
**[08:42] ---**
*In this case, which decision
is "unwavering"?*
**[08:47] ---**
*Okay then...*
**[08:49] ---**
*I'll guard Chika.*
**[08:53] ---**
*Chika and Hyuse
can move as planned.*
**[08:57] ---**
- That leaves Hyuse alone...
- *Alright.*
**[09:02] ---**
*This discussion is over.*
**[09:05] ---**
*I'll continue searching.*
**[09:12] ---**
Tamakoma makes a move.
**[09:14] ---**
Kuga goes to cover Amatori,
while Hyuse stays inside.
**[09:20] ---**
Respond to both...
They picked the third option.
**[09:24] ---**
But is it okay
to split up their fighters?
**[09:28] ---**
The situation in the mall
becomes a two-on-one.
**[09:32] ---**
*Only one of them took the bait,
meaning...*
**[09:36] ---**
*We must fight
before our beacons' Trion runs out.*
**[09:45] ---**
*Sorry, Osamu.*
**[09:47] ---**
*But give Hyuse a chance.*
**[09:49] ---**
A chance?
**[09:51] ---**
*He let Kage*senpai *get away.*
**[09:54] ---**
*It's just like with Nasu.
We misread our enemy's damage.*
**[10:00] ---**
*And you got taken down by Yuzuru.*
**[10:02] ---**
*I failed to estimate
that Ema might sacrifice himself.*
**[10:07] ---**
*It wasn't your fault.*
**[10:09] ---**
*Hyuse blames himself
for losing both those points.*
**[10:15] ---**
*So he wants to
get the points back himself.*
**[10:20] ---**
*He's a very responsible person.*
**[10:37] ---**
Sealing exits as he descends,
Hyuse is steadily cornering Azuma Squad.
**[10:43] ---**
To get out of the mall,
**[10:46] ---**
Agent Koarai has to destroy a wall.
**[10:49] ---**
Hyuse-kun will find him before that.
**[10:52] ---**
Is Koarai countering him?
**[10:54] ---**
I bet Hyuse-kun's almost there.
**[10:57] ---**
*Got it.*
**[11:06] ---**
Agent Hyuse has
got a lock on Agent Koarai.
**[11:11] ---**
*His leg's been damaged.*
**[11:15] ---**
Does it end here?
**[11:18] ---**
*Time to end this.*
**[11:20] ---**
*Azuma-san!*
**[11:43] ---**
*I knew you'd do that!*
**[11:52] ---**
Only a Bagworm?
**[12:08] ---**
*Trion body limit exceeded.
Bail out.*
**[12:11] ---**
*At least he lost a leg.*
**[12:15] ---**
*Agent Hyuse bails out.*
**[12:18] ---**
*Azuma Squad scored
in a showdown.*
**[12:22] ---**
Yes!
**[12:27] ---**
*And Koarai escapes from the mall.*
**[12:30] ---**
*What's the plan now?
Wait until time's up?*
**[12:33] ---**
*Or bail out right now?*
**[12:36] ---**
*Let me see.*
**[12:37] ---**
*It depends on how they act.*
**[12:40] ---**
Make Chika bomb them.
**[12:42] ---**
Both of them have damaged legs.
**[12:46] ---**
They can't shoot Chika
while running.
**[12:49] ---**
Just one attack will make Azuma
decide to withdraw.
**[12:53] ---**
Alright.
**[12:54] ---**
Meteor!
**[13:03] ---**
*This is the time to retreat.*
**[13:06] ---**
*Roger that!*
**[13:09] ---**
*Oh, two Azuma agents
voluntarily bailed out.*
**[13:13] ---**
I think that was a smart choice
since their legs suffered damage.
**[13:19] ---**
Azuma Squad's duo ran
and left the field.
**[13:22] ---**
Tamakoma-2, the only squad left,
got two points for surviving.
**[13:27] ---**
Point Survival Total
**[13:27] ---**
Tamakoma-2
Azuma Squad
Kageura Squad
Suzunari-1
**[13:28] ---**
Now the match is over.
**[13:30] ---**
The final score is 6-2-2-1.
**[13:33] ---**
Tamakoma-2 is the winner.
**[13:37] ---**
Six points is huge.
**[13:38] ---**
He was beaten by Captain Azuma,
**[13:41] ---**
but Tamakoma's rookie
performed outstandingly.
**[13:45] ---**
I'd like you two to review this round.
**[13:49] ---**
Before that, let's talk about
Azuma-san's substitution magic.
**[13:54] ---**
What kind of trick was that?
**[13:56] ---**
This is just my guess,
**[13:59] ---**
but it was probably like this.
**[14:05] ---**
He hanged his Bagworm
on a Lightning put on the floor above.
**[14:09] ---**
Hiding among the Dummy Beacons,
he waited for Koarai
**[14:13] ---**
to lure Hyuse out.
**[14:15] ---**
The moment Hyuse attacked,
he activated an Ibis.
**[14:19] ---**
Then the Lightning vanished,
and the Bagworm dropped.
**[14:23] ---**
He shot at Hyuse
who reacted to the Bagworm.
**[14:27] ---**
Gosh! How cruel.
**[14:28] ---**
I'll check the logs.
**[14:30] ---**
Agents with wide peripheral vision
may tend to fall for that trap.
**[14:36] ---**
Meanwhile, Agent Hyuse kept half
of his bullets in reserve just in case.
**[14:42] ---**
*He rendered Captain Azuma immobile
before dying*
**[14:46] ---**
*to force Azuma Squad to retreat,
which was a good call.*
**[14:52] ---**
Now, let us hear your thoughts
about the entire match.
**[14:57] ---**
I liked Suzunari's
lights-out strategy at the start.
**[15:03] ---**
It would've been more effective
against anyone but Kage.
**[15:09] ---**
But Suzunari only earned a single point.
**[15:12] ---**
Taichi-kun even died
without shooting at all.
**[15:19] ---**
My plan failed.
This totally sucks.
**[15:22] ---**
We caught Kageura-kun off guard.
That wasn't so bad.
**[15:26] ---**
Don't worry.
**[15:27] ---**
You really think so?
**[15:29] ---**
Suzunari-1 has improved
their basic battle tactics.
**[15:33] ---**
If the others get wary of them
as a team who adopts unexpected plans,
**[15:38] ---**
that'd be their advantage going forward.
**[15:42] ---**
Arashiyama-san!
**[15:44] ---**
Halfway through the match
with Tamakoma,
**[15:47] ---**
it was Escudo's time to shine.
**[15:50] ---**
I was amazed by
not only his Trion amount
**[15:54] ---**
but also his idea to pop one out
of someone's body.
**[15:58] ---**
The Tamakoma Branch has two Escudo
users, Agent Jin and Karasuma.
**[16:03] ---**
They might've given him inspiration.
**[16:07] ---**
I was taught by Torimaru
but not by Jin.
**[16:11] ---**
Ko-kun was as fearsome as ever.
**[16:14] ---**
Tamakoma and Suzunari
were evenly matched.
**[16:19] ---**
But Kuga-kun played a good role.
**[16:21] ---**
He sure did.
**[16:23] ---**
Agent Hyuse was more impressive
in this round,
**[16:27] ---**
but the whole time, Agent Kuga's
subtle support was great.
**[16:33] ---**
His moves allowed Hyuse's skills
to shine even more?
**[16:37] ---**
Yes, exactly.
**[16:48] ---**
In contrast, Kage's performance
was kind of lacking.
**[16:53] ---**
*He's usually relaxed in fights, but*
**[16:55] ---**
*he was cautious
or even vigorless today.*
**[16:59] ---**
*He fled desperately at the end,
which was not like him.*
**[17:03] ---**
Did he?
**[17:04] ---**
Maybe he put too much pressure
on himself.
**[17:08] ---**
To make you join the Away Squad.
**[17:11] ---**
What?
**[17:13] ---**
*For me?*
**[17:16] ---**
Hey.
**[17:19] ---**
This isn't over yet.
**[17:22] ---**
You finally have a goal now, right?
**[17:29] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:32] ---**
Next was the hyper Meteor
by Amatori-chan.
**[17:37] ---**
It resulted in Azuma Squad's withdrawal.
**[17:41] ---**
Koala and Okudera decided it, right?
**[17:44] ---**
That'd fit with Azuma-san's
training principles.
**[17:47] ---**
Aside from Okkun, that was
unexpected from Koala.
**[17:51] ---**
He's the type to hope for a final shot.
**[17:55] ---**
He's grown a bit.
**[17:57] ---**
Grown, huh?
**[18:00] ---**
But all I could actually do
was escape.
**[18:04] ---**
No. I confirmed today that you two
can properly judge the state of battle.
**[18:10] ---**
I've had you focus on combo moves
as Attackers,
**[18:14] ---**
but now, let's open up
the use of Sub-Triggers.
**[18:19] ---**
Really?
**[18:20] ---**
I want to use Hound!
**[18:22] ---**
Take your Trion volume
into account, okay?
**[18:26] ---**
Anyway, Tamakoma is fearsome.
That's the takeaway here.
**[18:31] ---**
It's just like Tamakoma
to steadily get points by
**[18:35] ---**
taking advantage of how
no one had data on Hyuse.
**[18:39] ---**
I see.
**[18:41] ---**
Hyuse.
**[18:43] ---**
As promised, tell me why you
didn't use Viper in this match.
**[18:51] ---**
My plan was to gain a massive lead
over Kageura Squad.
**[18:56] ---**
But Kageura's defeat gave
Suzunari a point.
**[19:01] ---**
Given the night setting and Azuma's
common tactic of running out of time,
**[19:08] ---**
it became tough to earn enough points.
**[19:11] ---**
If we couldn't get a big lead
in this game,
**[19:15] ---**
the next one would be more crucial.
**[19:18] ---**
So we shouldn't play every card
in this round.
**[19:23] ---**
That's all.
**[19:25] ---**
*He thought of the next match
during that battle?*
**[19:30] ---**
*I swear to take this team
to the expedition.*
**[19:34] ---**
*He's a very responsible person.*
**[19:37] ---**
*That's..*
**[19:40] ---**
*That's really how he is.*
**[19:47] ---**
And the overall standings.
**[19:49] ---**
The night session remains,
so these aren't final though.
**[19:54] ---**
Kageura Squad and Tamakoma-2
are now tied.
**[19:57] ---**
*4. Ikoma Squad, 5. Azuma Squad,
6. Oji Squad*
**[19:58] ---**
The team ranked higher when the season
started gets priority in this case.
**[20:01] ---**
*1. Ninomiya Squad
2. Kageura Squad
3. Tamakoma-2*
**[20:03] ---**
Which puts Kageura Squad in second
and Tamakoma in third.
**[20:08] ---**
The fight for the top two places
to join the Away Squad
**[20:12] ---**
will continue to the end.
**[20:15] ---**
The Round 7 daytime session ends now.
**[20:19] ---**
Thank you for joining me,
Arashiyama-san, Inukai *senpai*.
**[20:23] ---**
Thank you too.
**[20:24] ---**
Good job, Yuitsuka-chan.
**[20:27] ---**
Kageura Squad and Tamakoma
ended up with a tied score.
**[20:32] ---**
Your squad now has a big role,
right, Ninomiya-san?
**[20:37] ---**
For Tamakoma's chances
of joining the expedition.
**[20:40] ---**
You're likely to
match with them next, right?
**[20:44] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[20:46] ---**
It is said that we
tend to go against the team
**[20:50] ---**
with which we had few matches
in the past.
**[20:53] ---**
But we have the other squads too.
**[20:57] ---**
No matter who comes,
we'll bring them down as always.
**[21:02] ---**
Huh? No thoughts from this match?
**[21:05] ---**
You've insulted them before.
**[21:09] ---**
How about you?
**[21:12] ---**
Has your opinion
about Tamakoma changed?
**[21:16] ---**
*Do you think Tamakoma-2
could defeat your squad?*
**[21:20] ---**
*As if. Not a chance.*
**[21:25] ---**
Well...
**[21:27] ---**
Fighting with the current Tamakoma-2
could be interesting.
**[21:33] ---**
Indeed.
**[21:35] ---**
That's how it is.
**[21:40] ---**

**[00:12] ---**
*Why am I still feeling uneasy
deep in my heart?*
**[00:19] ---**
*This is the time to retreat.*
**[00:21] ---**
*Roger that!*
**[00:24] ---**
Now the match is over.
***SIGN*** *(From the Left)
Point, Survival, Total*
**[00:26] ---**
The final score is 6-2-2-1.
***SIGN*** *(From the Top) Tamakoma-2, Azuma Squad,
Kageura Squad, Suzunari-1*
**[00:30] ---**
Tamakoma-2 is the winner.
**[00:33] ---**
Kageura Squad and Tamakoma
ended up with a tied score.
**[00:38] ---**
Your squad now has a big role,
right, Ninomiya-san?
**[00:42] ---**
No matter who comes,
we'll bring them down as always.
**[00:49] ---**
Well then...
**[00:51] ---**
We're done, but should we
watch the night session?
**[00:52] ---**
*Premonition*
**[00:55] ---**
It's in four and a half hours.
**[00:57] ---**
We can watch the logs
at the Tamakoma base.
**[01:00] ---**
We're gonna hit
the Solo Rank Wars.
**[01:03] ---**
I'm meeting up with Izuho-chan.
**[01:06] ---**
Okay, gotcha.
**[01:08] ---**
Hyuse-kun, your horns!
**[01:11] ---**
Be careful.
**[01:12] ---**
I know.
**[01:17] ---**
Tell me when you're leaving.
**[01:20] ---**
Okay, you're all dismissed for now!
**[01:33] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose
what's most precious to me*
**[01:37] ---**
*They slip through my fingers
by way of cruel fate*
**[01:42] ---**
*More means of reclaiming
our stolen time and hearts*
**[01:46] ---**
*I know that's what
we're painfully lacking*
**[01:50] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror
The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[01:55] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[01:59] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass
A bullet should pierce through*
**[02:03] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[02:07] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[02:11] ---**
*The hopes of thousands
are on my shoulders*
**[02:16] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[02:20] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[02:25] ---**
*The yearning that connects
our past and present*
**[02:32] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[02:38] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,
the light radiates brightly*
**[02:53] ---**
Well, I've got to say...
**[02:56] ---**
The match today was great.
We got six points from top-rankers!
**[03:01] ---**
Yes.
**[03:01] ---**
Your effort in enlisting Hyuse
in our team really paid off.
**[03:06] ---**
Right. He surpassed my expectations.
**[03:10] ---**
Oh, yeah. Did that bad feeling
you had before the match go away?
**[03:24] ---**
Well, actually...not yet.
**[03:28] ---**
Huh? Really?
**[03:30] ---**
I wonder what it is.
A bad feeling, huh...
**[03:34] ---**
Chika-chan seemed to be fine.
**[03:37] ---**
When you and Hyuse
had that disagreement
**[03:40] ---**
I thought it might
spark a fight later on.
**[03:44] ---**
But in the end, Hyuse seemed
pretty satisfied with the results.
**[03:49] ---**
That's true...
**[03:54] ---**
- Kikuchihara *senpai*texted me.
- Can I see?
**[03:58] ---**
*Congrats on your win.*
**[04:00] ---**
*You were useless today, though.*
**[04:04] ---**
Useless...
**[04:05] ---**
There goes Kikuchi
being obnoxious again...
**[04:11] ---**
*I should ask his opinion, too.*
**[04:14] ---**
*Thank you.*
**[04:16] ---**
*We won the match,*
*but something's still bugging me.*
**[04:20] ---**
*What could it be?*
**[04:29] ---**
*Maybe you're sad you won't be needed*
*since the rookie is so strong?*
**[04:34] ---**
Really? I don't think that's it.
**[04:38] ---**
Hmm, can't say...
**[04:41] ---**
*If our next opponent picks an exterior*
*map, wary of Hyuse's Escudo,*
**[04:47] ---**
*we can use our wire tactic*
*and Lead Bullet again.*
**[04:50] ---**
*I think I can make myself useful.*
**[04:54] ---**
He gets that, huh.
**[04:57] ---**
- What is it?
- Uh, well...
**[05:06] ---**
Did you hear about Tamakoma-2?
**[05:08] ---**
You're right.
**[05:09] ---**
How can they be so strong otherwise?
**[05:16] ---**
It's for me.
**[05:17] ---**
Yeah? Hello?
**[05:19] ---**
Usami *senpai*, good match today.
**[05:22] ---**
*Thanks, Uttei. What's up?*
**[05:24] ---**
I just wanted to check something.
**[05:28] ---**
Check what?
**[05:30] ---**
Your rookie's history
hasn't been made public yet, right?
**[05:35] ---**
Huh?
**[05:37] ---**
Kikuchihara said that the C-Rankers
here in the lounge...
**[05:41] ---**
Probably the ones who
saw your match earlier...
**[05:46] ---**
They're gossiping that...
**[05:48] ---**
*"Tamakoma's rookie*
*might be a Neighbor."*
**[05:51] ---**
What?
**[05:52] ---**
Right...got it. Thanks.
**[05:59] ---**
The C-Rankers are gossiping
that Hyuse is a Neighbor?!
**[06:09] ---**
*Our squad is growing well.*
**[06:12] ---**
*And the next match isn't*
*hopeless at all.*
**[06:16] ---**
*Kuga and Hyuse are overwhelming*
*our opponents...*
**[06:20] ---**
*But...*
**[06:23] ---**
That's it.
**[06:25] ---**
That's why I had that bad feeling!
**[06:28] ---**
Hyuse standing out too much
was the problem!
**[06:31] ---**
That's why I felt uneasy no matter
how well the match went.
**[06:36] ---**
Oh! That makes sense!
**[06:38] ---**
He slayed his debut match
against the top-rankers.
**[06:44] ---**
His looks and foreign-sounding name
may also be why the rumor started.
**[06:49] ---**
And maybe because
we're a pro-Neighbor branch?
**[06:53] ---**
What should we do?
**[06:55] ---**
I don't think the kids gossiping
have any proof.
**[07:00] ---**
But things could go wrong
if the rumor spreads.
**[07:04] ---**
You're right.
**[07:05] ---**
Could it affect
the Away squad selection?
**[07:09] ---**
I hope they won't
start to doubt Yuma-kun as well.
**[07:14] ---**
*Maybe I shouldn't have let Hyuse*
*stand out in the battle...*
**[07:19] ---**
*No, then we couldn't have*
*earned those six points.*
**[07:23] ---**
*The match itself was a success.*
**[07:26] ---**
*Four-Eyes.*
**[07:29] ---**
*A piece of advice from me.*
**[07:33] ---**
*Do not waver.*
**[07:37] ---**
*Yes, sir!*
**[07:39] ---**
Anyways, I've got to run!
**[07:42] ---**
Please call Hyuse and the others.
**[07:44] ---**
Okay, got it.
**[07:50] ---**
Hello, Branch Director Rindo?
I have an urgent request.
**[07:54] ---**
*Border HQ
PR Department*
**[08:05] ---**
Pardon me.
**[08:10] ---**
So you're here, Mikumo-kun.
**[08:13] ---**
Director Rindo made your appointment.
**[08:18] ---**
Good match today.
**[08:20] ---**
*Azuma-san?*
**[08:21] ---**
Thank you.
**[08:25] ---**
Sorry to bother you.
**[08:27] ---**
But we need to talk about Hyuse.
**[08:31] ---**
Is it about the rumor?
**[08:34] ---**
Yes.
**[08:36] ---**
Captain Kazama already informed me.
**[08:40] ---**
Good grief...
**[08:42] ---**
This is why I was against
enlisting him into Border.
**[08:46] ---**
Well? What is it you want from me?
**[08:50] ---**
I'd like for Border HQ
to formally deny the rumor.
**[08:54] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[08:57] ---**
Panicking and making a formal response
to a mere rumor
**[09:01] ---**
is just like admitting we're shady.
**[09:04] ---**
It's especially tricky in this case...
**[09:08] ---**
Because the rumor is actually true.
**[09:13] ---**
As an organization,
publicly lying as a temporary measure
**[09:17] ---**
is an extremely high risk.
**[09:22] ---**
But, at the same time,
**[09:24] ---**
we can't just sit back
and let the rumor spread.
**[09:29] ---**
Sorry, you're right.
**[09:32] ---**
I didn't think this through.
**[09:34] ---**
No need to apologize.
**[09:37] ---**
This isn't just for your sake.
**[09:39] ---**
Protecting Border's reputation
is our job.
**[09:43] ---**
We'll handle this problem
by overwriting the rumor.
**[09:48] ---**
"Overwriting the rumor"?
**[09:51] ---**
We'll spread a new rumor that's
more credible than the current one.
**[09:57] ---**
That's what I mean.
**[09:59] ---**
"Tamakoma-2's agent, Hyuse,"
**[10:02] ---**
"is a relative of Tamakoma's
Chief Engineer Kronin."
**[10:06] ---**
"He was recruited for his
tremendously high Trion value."
**[10:10] ---**
"He's been training at the Tamakoma
Branch for a few years."
**[10:15] ---**
"He was going to join Tamakoma-1
to fill Agent Jin's spot."
**[10:16] ---**
*S-Rank*
**[10:19] ---**
"But Jin returned to A-Rank,"
**[10:23] ---**
"so Hyuse was transferred
to Tamakoma-2."
**[10:27] ---**
We'll spread that rumor,
and Captain Azuma will be the source.
**[10:33] ---**
Azuma-san? But, why?
**[10:35] ---**
It wouldn't work if you were the source,
would it?
**[10:39] ---**
*Tamakoma's rookie...*
**[10:39] ---**
Right now, the original rumor
is catchier.
**[10:42] ---**
*Tamakoma's rookie*
*is a Neighbor?!*
**[10:44] ---**
To overwrite it, the new rumor has to
be absolutely credible.
**[10:46] ---**
*He's Tamakoma's rising star!*
*(According to Azuma)*
**[10:49] ---**
But doesn't that mean
Azuma-san has to lie for us?
**[10:53] ---**
Well, it's just a rumor, after all.
**[10:56] ---**
We'll start spreading it
at tomorrow's joint Sniper training.
**[11:02] ---**
*Our allies will keep the story vague.*
**[11:05] ---**
Someone told me
that Azuma-san said...
**[11:08] ---**
Satoken heard from Azuma-san that...
**[11:12] ---**
*And it'll all be reported secondhand.*
**[11:15] ---**
*If someone comes to me to confirm...*
**[11:19] ---**
Did I say that?
**[11:21] ---**
Well, it sounds plausible to me.
**[11:24] ---**
*I won't admit to being the source, but
I'll agree with the rumor's narrative.*
**[11:30] ---**
If there comes a time when
we need to reveal Hyuse's true identity,
**[11:36] ---**
Netsuki-san will explain that he
ordered me to spread the false rumor.
**[11:42] ---**
Naturally, I bear full responsibility.
**[11:46] ---**
And, of course,
we need Tamakoma to play along.
**[11:50] ---**
Be sure Hyuse's backstory
is consistent.
**[11:54] ---**
*Before I even came by...*
**[11:57] ---**
*they had this plan ready to go.*
**[12:01] ---**
We need to get the story straight with
the ones who already know about Hyuse.
**[12:06] ---**
And those who know
Chief Kronin's identity, too.
**[12:10] ---**
Geez...
**[12:12] ---**
Usually, this kind of plan...
**[12:15] ---**
works better when
fewer people are involved.
**[12:19] ---**
But if that rumor leaks outside,
things will get much worse.
**[12:24] ---**
We need to squash it here and now.
**[12:28] ---**
I'm sorry for all the trouble.
**[12:32] ---**
Well, you came to me
before things got worse.
**[12:36] ---**
That shows you've grown to some extent.
**[12:41] ---**
I'll get the details organized.
**[12:43] ---**
Sit and wait for a while.
**[12:46] ---**
Uh... Yes, sir!
**[12:53] ---**
Thank you for helping us.
**[12:56] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[12:59] ---**
I wasn't aware you knew about Hyuse.
**[13:03] ---**
Ex-Away team members
would notice by his name
**[13:06] ---**
since we already know
about Chief Kronin.
**[13:10] ---**
It was Director Rindo's message
for people in the know.
**[13:14] ---**
I see...
**[13:19] ---**
Oh yeah, Mikumo...
**[13:20] ---**
Yes?
**[13:22] ---**
Is Amatori alright?
**[13:25] ---**
Huh?
**[13:36] ---**
What do you mean by "alright"?
**[13:39] ---**
Well, maybe it's not my place
to say anything...
**[13:43] ---**
But I know someone like her,
who can't shoot people.
**[13:49] ---**
Are you talking about Hatohara-san?
**[13:53] ---**
Oh, you knew about her?
**[13:55] ---**
Umm...
**[14:00] ---**
I heard it from...Reiji-san.
**[14:03] ---**
Is that so.
**[14:04] ---**
I've been a bit worried.
**[14:06] ---**
When Hatohara shot someone
in Rank Wars,
**[14:09] ---**
it had a big impact on her.
**[14:12] ---**
What kind of impact?
**[14:16] ---**
She vomited and stayed in bed.
**[14:19] ---**
So I was worried about Amatori.
Good to know she's okay.
**[14:26] ---**
*She was distressed to that level?*
**[14:30] ---**
*Maybe she's different from Chika?*
**[14:33] ---**
I heard Hatohara-san was a Sniper
who only targeted people's weapons.
**[14:39] ---**
Did she suffer every time
she shot someone?
**[14:42] ---**
Hm? No.
**[14:44] ---**
Hatohara only hit a person
that one time.
**[14:48] ---**
She has never missed, otherwise.
**[14:50] ---**
She trained vigorously
to be sure not to hit anyone.
**[14:56] ---**
Well, sniping and blasting the area
is a different case.
**[15:00] ---**
Maybe we can't compare the situation.
**[15:03] ---**
But given the precedent,
keep an eye on Amatori, okay?
**[15:08] ---**
Yes.
**[15:11] ---**
So, only four days left, huh?
**[15:15] ---**
Pardon?
**[15:16] ---**
It was only a month ago you declared
you'd join the expedition to the press.
**[15:23] ---**
I'm surprised you've actually
come so close to being qualified.
**[15:28] ---**
The higher-ups announced
the Rank Wars will end with Round 8.
**[15:33] ---**
And B-Rank squads No. 2 or above will
be treated as A-Ranks for the selection.
**[15:40] ---**
When I read that, I didn't think
you stood a chance, pointwise.
**[15:45] ---**
But you already had Hyuse's
enlistment arranged by then?
**[15:49] ---**
Uh... Yes.
**[15:51] ---**
You're pretty competent.
**[15:57] ---**
People in your position shouldn't
support a specific team,
**[16:01] ---**
Captain Azuma.
**[16:03] ---**
That's not my intention, sir.
**[16:05] ---**
I just think it's amusing how Tamakoma-2
advanced in a unique way.
**[16:11] ---**
Nothing is amusing about it.
**[16:16] ---**
Here's the plan's outline.
**[16:19] ---**
Share it with the branch,
then destroy the papers.
**[16:24] ---**
Don't leave any digital data.
**[16:27] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[16:29] ---**
Thank you for everything.
**[16:31] ---**
I promise to return the favor.
**[16:35] ---**
I don't need your thanks.
This is my job, after all.
**[16:40] ---**
But...
**[16:41] ---**
I put an agent of mine
into avoidable trouble.
**[16:45] ---**
As the Captain, that was my mistake.
**[16:58] ---**
Pardon me.
**[17:03] ---**
So, Border aside, he's taking
responsibility for Hyuse's reputation.
**[17:09] ---**
Humph, I doubt that.
**[17:11] ---**
If word gets out that he recruited a
powerful Neighbor, he'll be criticized.
**[17:17] ---**
Maybe he's just trying to
save his own skin.
**[17:21] ---**
He doesn't seem the type.
**[17:24] ---**
From what Kazama told me,
**[17:25] ---**
Mikumo was trying to
get Jin to join before Hyuse.
**[17:30] ---**
What?!
**[17:31] ---**
Unbelievable! That goes beyond devious!
**[17:36] ---**
Pretty bold, isn't he?
**[17:40] ---**
*He overlooks himself but cares so much
about everyone's problems.*
**[17:46] ---**
*His principles are uneven.*
**[17:51] ---**
I see!
**[17:52] ---**
So Netsuki-san and Azuma-san
are helping us.
**[17:55] ---**
- What a relief!
- Right.
**[17:58] ---**
I investigated a bit
where the rumor started.
**[18:02] ---**
At first, it was just speculation.
"What if he's a Neighbor?"
**[18:07] ---**
Then a rando suddenly said,
**[18:08] ---**
"I saw him during the invasion!
He's a Neighbor for sure!"
**[18:13] ---**
And that story spread like crazy.
**[18:16] ---**
Is it even true he saw Hyuse?
**[18:19] ---**
He could be lying to get attention.
**[18:21] ---**
I think that's the case.
**[18:23] ---**
I have super good eyesight
**[18:26] ---**
but couldn't see his face
since he was so far away.
**[18:29] ---**
I only noticed Shrimp *senpai*
by his hair.
**[18:33] ---**
Even now, I can't tell
if he's the same Neighbor.
**[18:37] ---**
Well, I'd like to know how
**[18:39] ---**
they got the crazy idea that a Neighbor
from the invasion would join Border?
**[18:45] ---**
That's how rumors are.
Catchy but baseless.
**[18:49] ---**
But this rumor is true, remember?
**[18:52] ---**
Truth can be stranger than rumors.
**[18:54] ---**
Anyways, they provided us a plan.
**[18:57] ---**
Memorize Hyuse's cover story by heart,
and act normal.
**[19:01] ---**
Okay, got it.
**[19:03] ---**
Roger that.
**[19:05] ---**
- Oh!
- Hm?
**[19:06] ---**
We got our opponents
for the Final Round.
**[19:13] ---**
We're up against...
**[19:15] ---**
No. 1 Ninomiya Squad,
No. 4 Ikoma Squad,
**[19:18] ---**
and the new No. 7, Yuba Squad.
**[19:21] ---**
*Ikoma Squad and Ninomiya Squad...*
**[19:24] ---**
We've never faced Yuba Squad before.
**[19:27] ---**
*Ikoma...*
**[19:29] ---**
*Sorry.*
**[19:29] ---**
*Sorry.*
**[19:31] ---**
The rumor is worrisome,
but we still have to prep for the match!
**[19:37] ---**
Right!
**[19:39] ---**
*The Next Day*
**[19:41] ---**
*Joint Sniper Training*
**[20:01] ---**
We "overwrote" the C-Rank Snipers.
**[20:05] ---**
It's up to how well
the new rumor spreads
**[20:09] ---**
and how persistent the kid who
claims to have seen Hyuse will be.
**[20:14] ---**
I'm not so worried about that.
**[20:18] ---**
But worst case scenario, we may have to
consider doing some memory erasing.
**[20:23] ---**
If there are any problems,
report to me at once.
**[20:28] ---**
Understood.
**[20:30] ---**
Hmm, so it went pretty well, huh?
**[20:35] ---**
Probably. But we don't know
how it'll turn out yet.
**[20:39] ---**
There's no point in brooding anymore.
**[20:43] ---**
You should move on
and focus on your Final Round.
**[20:47] ---**
Yes. That's the plan.
**[20:50] ---**
Who's eating tonight?
**[20:52] ---**
Just the four of us, I think.
**[20:55] ---**
Yuma-kun's with Zoe-san's group.
**[20:58] ---**
Reiji-san's drinking with Suwa-san.
**[21:01] ---**
Torimaru-kun's on Defense Mission
with Suzunari.
**[21:04] ---**
Jin-san and Hyuse-kun
are with the bosses.
**[21:08] ---**
Then let's eat out today.
It's my treat.
**[21:12] ---**
I don't want to cook.
**[21:14] ---**
You're so generous!
**[21:16] ---**
Let's eat some meat.
**[21:18] ---**
Thanks for taking us out.
**[21:20] ---**
*Charcoal Grill Jujuen*
**[21:23] ---**
Welcome to Jujuen!
**[21:27] ---**
Don't order the pricey ones.
**[21:30] ---**
Okay...
**[21:35] ---**
Good to see you.
**[21:36] ---**
What a surprise.
**[22:01] ---**
*I reach out my hand
And yours is waiting from above*
**[22:06] ---**
*I'm sure I knew before that touch*
**[22:09] ---**
*Now I've felt your big, strong grasp*
**[22:13] ---**
*My dream where I grab the stars at night
Is getting oddly realistic*
**[22:18] ---**
*Before I remember what I failed to say,*
**[22:22] ---**
*You're already swimming in the next sky*
**[22:25] ---**
*Melting in an enviously brilliant
And clear yet lonely color,*
**[22:31] ---**
*Everything is reflected*
**[22:34] ---**
*Onto your little but big eyes
That are secretly burning*
**[22:42] ---**
*Do you still think
That scenery is beautiful?*
**[22:48] ---**
*It's okay if your reasons
Motivate you to live on*
**[22:56] ---**
*Even if you've forgotten
Whose words they are*
**[23:00] ---**
*Even if you're still stuck in the "Why?"*
**[23:07] ---**
*This place is for us
For us*
**[23:13] ---**

**[00:11] ---**
Look, it's Tsuji-chan.
**[00:12] ---**
*Will*
**[00:13] ---**
Yeah. Hey, Tsuji-kun.
**[00:15] ---**
Um, g...good to see...
**[00:19] ---**
- Tsuji-chan.
- Tsuji-kun.
**[00:22] ---**
No messing with him, okay?
**[00:27] ---**
Tsuji *senpai* has trouble
talking with women?
**[00:30] ---**
Unexpected, yeah?
**[00:31] ---**
Yes.
**[00:32] ---**
I'm here too, Konami-chan.
**[00:35] ---**
Huh? You don't look innocent enough.
**[00:39] ---**
You see Tsuji-kun at school too, right?
**[00:42] ---**
Yeah, but he's always got
his guard up there, so...
**[00:50] ---**
What'll you order,
Chika-chan, Osamu-kun?
**[00:53] ---**
The bottom flap's tasty.
**[00:55] ---**
Isn't that expensive?
**[00:58] ---**
What was Azuma-san's favorite?
**[01:00] ---**
Abomasum.
**[01:01] ---**
Two oolong teas,
an orange juice, and a ginger ale.
**[01:16] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose*
*what's most precious to me*
**[01:20] ---**
*They slip through my fingers*
*by way of cruel fate*
**[01:25] ---**
*More means of reclaiming*
*our stolen time and hearts*
**[01:29] ---**
*I know that's what*
*we're painfully lacking*
**[01:33] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror*
*The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[01:38] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[01:42] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass*
*A bullet should pierce through*
**[01:46] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[01:50] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[01:54] ---**
*The hopes of thousands*
*are on my shoulders*
**[01:59] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[02:03] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[02:08] ---**
*The yearning that connects*
*our past and present*
**[02:15] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[02:21] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,*
*the light radiates brightly*
**[02:38] ---**
Here, salted tongue.
**[02:40] ---**
This piece is mine, okay?
I'll make it well-done.
**[02:44] ---**
Isn't well-done a word for steak?
**[02:47] ---**
Impressive, Mikumo-kun.
**[02:49] ---**
Dining with three girls, huh?
**[02:51] ---**
Oh, you're right.
**[02:53] ---**
Being around girls
doesn't bother you, huh?
**[02:57] ---**
Because he has a beautiful mom.
**[02:59] ---**
Oh, really?
**[03:01] ---**
I don't think my mother
is a part of this.
**[03:05] ---**
But now that you mention it,
**[03:07] ---**
I've never met a woman
more intense than her.
**[03:12] ---**
See? It depends on
how you're raised.
**[03:15] ---**
Hey!
**[03:18] ---**
You're just eating rice again.
**[03:21] ---**
Rice is yummy.
**[03:24] ---**
Get some more meat. Here.
**[03:29] ---**
How's the abomasum? Tasty?
**[03:31] ---**
It's tough to chew.
**[03:32] ---**
You seem fine
talking to Hiyami *senpai*.
**[03:36] ---**
Because I've known Hyami-san forever.
**[03:39] ---**
The only girls Tsuji-chan can talk to
**[03:42] ---**
are Hyami-chan
and Hatohara-chan so far.
**[03:47] ---**
*Hatohara* senpai*...*
**[03:49] ---**
Hatohara *senpai* was nice
from the start.
**[03:52] ---**
You're implying that I wasn't.
**[03:56] ---**
You had a wall up at first.
**[03:59] ---**
And now?
**[04:00] ---**
You're nice.
**[04:02] ---**
Good.
**[04:05] ---**
Have you heard about Hatohara-chan?
**[04:08] ---**
Our sniper
who ran off *there* already.
**[04:10] ---**
Um...yes.
**[04:12] ---**
You went to consult Tamakoma
about it, too?
**[04:15] ---**
Yeah, but I haven't
told Usami and Konami.
**[04:18] ---**
Oh, what a revelation.
**[04:20] ---**
Wait, what? Tell us too.
**[04:23] ---**
Oops.
**[04:24] ---**
Hey, tell us now.
**[04:26] ---**
Things like this
sure catch your interest.
**[04:30] ---**
Oh, yeah. We also had barbeque
just before Hatohara *senpai* left.
**[04:35] ---**
For Inukai *senpai*'s birthday.
**[04:38] ---**
How could she go there
with civilians after that.
**[04:42] ---**
Maybe because she couldn't
as a Border agent.
**[04:46] ---**
*It seems they can talk about
Hatohara* senpai *frankly.*
**[04:53] ---**
*I thought it was more serious than that.*
**[04:57] ---**
Um... Why did she want to
go over there so badly?
**[05:02] ---**
Same reason as Amatori-chan.
**[05:04] ---**
Her little brother was kidnapped.
**[05:09] ---**
Her brother?
**[05:11] ---**
She wanted to join the expedition
to look for him
**[05:15] ---**
but wasn't selected.
**[05:17] ---**
Because she couldn't shoot people?
**[05:19] ---**
Yup. Just like Amatori-chan again.
**[05:23] ---**
But as for Amatori-chan,
**[05:25] ---**
that problem might've been
overcome yesterday.
**[05:30] ---**
Right. She'll bomb all of you
in the next round.
**[05:34] ---**
Prepare yourself.
**[05:36] ---**
What's scary is that you could be right,
**[05:39] ---**
but people can rarely change so quickly.
**[05:43] ---**
We'll be wary of her too.
**[05:46] ---**
But at this point, Kuga-kun and
Hyuse-kun, those two stars
**[05:50] ---**
are the real threats for us.
**[05:53] ---**
Watch out for Osamu a bit too.
**[05:56] ---**
It's mean to exclude him.
**[05:58] ---**
He might be the next star
with his new Trigger.
**[06:02] ---**
Nah, he's barely got enough Trion
to scrape by.
**[06:06] ---**
Can you replace the Wire Strategy?
**[06:08] ---**
*They've got me figured out.*
**[06:11] ---**
Speaking of the two stars,
I heard a weird rumor yesterday
**[06:15] ---**
that Hyuse-kun is from the other side.
**[06:19] ---**
Those C-Ranks are delusional.
**[06:21] ---**
His big attitude and Trion level
are showy.
**[06:24] ---**
True, his Trion volume is crazy.
**[06:27] ---**
The rumor's reasonable there.
**[06:30] ---**
But in terms of Trion levels...
**[06:33] ---**
it seems more likely
Amatori-chan's from over there.
**[06:37] ---**
What?!
**[06:38] ---**
That's insane!
Chika's not like that!
**[06:41] ---**
Okay, so *Amatori-chan*'s not like that.
**[06:48] ---**
You're an open book.
**[06:50] ---**
We already know about Hyuse's past.
**[06:52] ---**
The PR Department informed us.
**[06:55] ---**
Huh?!
**[06:56] ---**
Then just say so!
**[06:58] ---**
Sorry.
**[07:00] ---**
Anyway, his identity
explains his strength enough.
**[07:06] ---**
He's so skilled with Border's Triggers,
using dynamic strategies like a veteran.
**[07:12] ---**
And I guess he has surplus Trion.
**[07:14] ---**
So he's probably got
more tricks besides Escudo.
**[07:18] ---**
And considering his Trion volume,
I felt that
**[07:22] ---**
his Asteroid's power looked low.
**[07:26] ---**
Is there a secret in his bullets?
**[07:30] ---**
*Has he figured out our strategy?*
**[07:36] ---**
We're off.
**[07:37] ---**
Aw, I'm still trying to
pull out information.
**[07:44] ---**
Ninomiya-san!
**[07:47] ---**
If we're chosen for the Away squads,
**[07:49] ---**
you promised you'd tell us
more about Hatohara *senpai*.
**[07:54] ---**
Do you remember that?
**[07:57] ---**
My answer now is the same as then.
**[08:05] ---**
Ask me once you're chosen.
**[08:15] ---**
Hm.
**[08:16] ---**
They found out our Viper strategy?
**[08:18] ---**
Probably.
**[08:20] ---**
Maybe because Inukai *senpai* is
always watching how Ninomiya-san fights.
**[08:25] ---**
Even though Hyuse
saved that plan for next time.
**[08:29] ---**
It's no problem.
**[08:31] ---**
He's right.
**[08:34] ---**
We can score if we use Viper
against the other teams.
**[08:38] ---**
And I feel Inukai *senpai* implied
he wants us to use the trick
**[08:43] ---**
on any squad not his own.
**[08:45] ---**
We just need a new plan
against Ninomiya Squad.
**[08:50] ---**
I see.
**[08:51] ---**
He was also probably hoping
to make you upset, Osamu-kun.
**[08:57] ---**
Yeah, I can imagine him
using psychological warfare.
**[09:02] ---**
Don't fall into his trap easily.
**[09:05] ---**
Okay.
**[09:06] ---**
*But it looked like he affected you most.*
**[09:09] ---**
Don't worry, Osamu.
**[09:11] ---**
Our Hyuse is gonna beat Ninomiya.
**[09:14] ---**
Who made you the boss?
**[09:16] ---**
Hmm...there's logic to Yotaro's words.
**[09:20] ---**
Logic?
**[09:21] ---**
You mean...
**[09:22] ---**
Only Hyuse-kun and Chika-chan
exceed Ninomiya-san in Trion,
**[09:27] ---**
so they can face him head-on if needed.
**[09:30] ---**
Chika shouldn't do that.
**[09:33] ---**
She wouldn't be joining the attack.
**[09:36] ---**
She'd shield Hyuse-kun,
while he fights with his bullets.
**[09:41] ---**
They'd be unbeatable in a firefight.
**[09:44] ---**
True. In a war of attrition,
they can't lose.
**[09:48] ---**
If the others join the fray,
it'll get busier.
**[09:51] ---**
But it's great our firepower
exceeds Ninomiya Squad's.
**[09:55] ---**
And it's hard to reach Ninomiya-san
with blades.
**[09:59] ---**
That'll work in a firefight,
**[10:01] ---**
but not when we need quick moves.
**[10:04] ---**
Always exposing Chika is risky too.
**[10:07] ---**
And she and I can't always regroup.
**[10:10] ---**
It's not bad as a strategy,
**[10:13] ---**
but I need more options.
**[10:17] ---**
Alright. Here's the plan.
**[10:19] ---**
Hyuse and Chika,
watch Ninomiya Squad's logs
**[10:21] ---**
to make plans for firefights.
**[10:23] ---**
Usami *senpai* and Yotaro,
help them out.
**[10:26] ---**
Okay.
**[10:28] ---**
Kuga and I will plan for other scenarios
**[10:31] ---**
and gather the other teams' intel.
**[10:33] ---**
Got it.
**[10:34] ---**
I'd like Konami *senpai*'s advice too.
**[10:38] ---**
If you insist.
**[10:39] ---**
Let's go to the strategy room!
**[10:41] ---**
Alright.
**[10:47] ---**
Hmm... Not many people want a shoot-out
against Ninomiya-san,
**[10:52] ---**
so we don't have
many examples in the logs.
**[10:56] ---**
I want to ask something
before we formulate strategies.
**[11:02] ---**
Chika.
**[11:04] ---**
You can actually...
**[11:07] ---**
shoot people, right?
**[11:11] ---**
What?
**[11:13] ---**
Huh? Hyuse-kun, what do you mean?
**[11:16] ---**
You know for a fact that she can't.
**[11:19] ---**
I know Chika said that.
**[11:22] ---**
But the truth may be different.
**[11:24] ---**
She may have just
convinced herself she can't.
**[11:29] ---**
I think...
**[11:31] ---**
you can shoot people, Chika.
**[11:44] ---**
Hm? Is there any difference
when she can?
**[11:47] ---**
It'd change the basis of our strategies.
**[11:51] ---**
Instead of me shooting
behind Chika's guard,
**[11:54] ---**
she could shoot behind the rest of us.
**[11:57] ---**
If that plan is available,
**[11:59] ---**
we can get five or six points
just with Chika's Meteor and Hound.
**[12:05] ---**
Without detailed strategies,
our power could overwhelm them.
**[12:09] ---**
So let's clear this up here and now.
**[12:12] ---**
Can you shoot people?
**[12:15] ---**
Or can't you?
**[12:18] ---**
I think she's made it
plenty clear already.
**[12:22] ---**
She'd already be doing it
if she could.
**[12:27] ---**
On what grounds are you saying
she can shoot?
**[12:31] ---**
- Reiji!
- Oh, Reiji-san.
**[12:34] ---**
I have no proof,
**[12:36] ---**
but I've seen those who can shoot others
and those who can't in the battles.
**[12:41] ---**
Chika looks to me
**[12:43] ---**
like someone who can.
**[12:50] ---**
Let me ask you too.
**[12:52] ---**
On what grounds are you saying
she can't?
**[12:55] ---**
She hits people with Lead Bullets.
**[12:58] ---**
Then she technically can do it
with normal shots.
**[13:02] ---**
Yet, you think
she can't shoot people. Why?
**[13:13] ---**
*If you can shoot during training,*
**[13:16] ---**
*maybe it's because you know
you won't hurt anyone.*
**[13:22] ---**
I think, probably...
**[13:26] ---**
it's because I'm scared to see
someone get hurt because of me.
**[13:31] ---**
Yes. In battles,
even with the Trion bodies,
**[13:34] ---**
some people picture damage
on real bodies.
**[13:37] ---**
Hatohara was one of them.
**[13:39] ---**
They imagine that they hit real people.
**[13:43] ---**
If so, it makes sense
they get scared of shooting.
**[13:47] ---**
She can't shoot when she
pictures a real battlefield?
**[13:51] ---**
That sounds strange.
**[13:52] ---**
In a real battle,
if you fail to shoot the enemy,
**[13:57] ---**
Yuma and Osamu could die.
**[14:07] ---**
I haven't been here long, but
**[14:09] ---**
you seem willing to be used as a pawn
for the sake of your mates.
**[14:17] ---**
If either Yuma or Osamu
were in real peril,
**[14:20] ---**
I'm sure you would shoot, Chika.
**[14:35] ---**
Chika, are you okay?
**[14:40] ---**
It seems I won't get an answer for now.
**[14:43] ---**
I'll continue reviewing the data
with Yotaro.
**[14:46] ---**
In either case, it's fine.
**[14:48] ---**
But give me an answer soon.
**[15:05] ---**
Well? Feeling a little better?
**[15:09] ---**
Yes.
**[15:10] ---**
Gee, Hyuse-kun was so blunt,
you must've felt a lot of pressure.
**[15:15] ---**
His logic was really biased.
**[15:18] ---**
Don't push yourself too hard.
**[15:20] ---**
We have a good chance
at winning already.
**[15:27] ---**
Um... I...
**[15:30] ---**
Talk to us.
**[15:31] ---**
What, Chika-chan?
**[15:35] ---**
It's kind of hard to explain, but I...
**[15:39] ---**
Okay, don't worry.
We're listening.
**[15:51] ---**
When I was...
**[15:53] ---**
an elementary student,
I was chased by a Trion soldier.
**[16:10] ---**
But in those days,
**[16:13] ---**
we didn't have Border yet.
**[16:16] ---**
Nobody knew about them.
**[16:19] ---**
My mom, my dad,
**[16:23] ---**
and my classmates,
none of them believed me.
**[16:31] ---**
*I believe what you're saying,
Chika-chan.*
**[16:36] ---**
But only one friend believed me.
**[16:40] ---**
Her name was Aoba-chan.
**[16:52] ---**
But then...
**[16:54] ---**
she went...missing.
**[16:58] ---**
I guess Neighbors took her away.
**[17:04] ---**
And...when that happened,
**[17:08] ---**
rather than her disappearing
or the fact no one believed me,
**[17:17] ---**
the fact they started believing me...
**[17:24] ---**
was what really scared me.
**[17:27] ---**
They said I might
be right about everything.
**[17:33] ---**
It wasn't just that she was gone.
**[17:36] ---**
I was scared they'd think
I put her in danger.
**[17:41] ---**
After Border was formed
and they learned about Neighbors,
**[17:45] ---**
I thought people would blame me
**[17:49] ---**
for Aoba-chan disappearing.
**[17:53] ---**
So I didn't talk
about any of it anymore.
**[17:58] ---**
That's what I decided.
**[18:00] ---**
And...so...
**[18:05] ---**
What I'm trying to say is...
**[18:11] ---**
I think...
**[18:15] ---**
the truth is...
**[18:19] ---**
What I'm scared of
is not hurting people
**[18:23] ---**
but being blamed by someone else
for doing it.
**[18:32] ---**
I may be able to shoot people
if I really need to.
**[18:43] ---**
But if I do it with my Trion volume,
**[18:47] ---**
what will they think of me?
**[18:48] ---**
Will they be scared of me
or feel it's unfair?
**[18:52] ---**
Will they hold a grudge
or hate me?
**[18:59] ---**
That's...what scares me.
**[19:03] ---**
But I don't want Osamu-kun and
Yuma-kun to think I'm useless.
**[19:10] ---**
So I try my best at everything,
**[19:13] ---**
but I tell myself that I can't shoot
people because I'm weaker.
**[19:19] ---**
In hopes that they won't blame me.
**[19:24] ---**
But Hyuse-kun said
**[19:27] ---**
that if I don't shoot,
Osamu-kun or Yuma-kun might die.
**[19:34] ---**
In that case,
**[19:37] ---**
I'd even shoot people.
**[19:39] ---**
I certainly think so.
**[19:43] ---**
It's to save my mates.
**[19:45] ---**
But more than that...
**[19:48] ---**
I'm scared of anyone thinking
**[19:51] ---**
that it's because I failed to shoot.
**[19:54] ---**
I...I just...
**[20:02] ---**
In the end, I'm always
only taking care of myself.
**[20:08] ---**
Chika-chan!
**[20:09] ---**
That's totally normal.
**[20:12] ---**
Everyone's scared
of being blamed for things.
**[20:16] ---**
Including me.
**[20:18] ---**
Don't think of yourself as a bad person.
**[20:21] ---**
If you're in the wrong,
then so is most of the world.
**[20:29] ---**
Even if your failure to shoot
makes a given situation worse,
**[20:35] ---**
I don't think
Osamu and Yuma will fault you.
**[20:41] ---**
And neither will I.
**[20:42] ---**
Me neither.
**[20:45] ---**
Just do what you can, Chika-chan.
**[20:48] ---**
You have many other things
you can do already.
**[21:04] ---**
I didn't expect her
to talk about herself that way.
**[21:07] ---**
Her desire to join the Away squads
**[21:11] ---**
might've come from
that feeling of remorse?
**[21:14] ---**
*I can't just sit still*
**[21:16] ---**
*if there's even a chance.*
**[21:20] ---**
That might've been
the only reason at first,
**[21:23] ---**
but I don't think it still is.
**[21:26] ---**
She's the type to act
for the sake of others.
**[21:33] ---**
*Even if your failure to shoot
makes a given situation worse,*
**[21:39] ---**
*I don't think
Osamu and Yuma will fault you.*
**[21:44] ---**
*I think so too.*
**[21:46] ---**
*Both Osamu-kun and Yuma-kun*
**[21:49] ---**
*won't fault me if I can't shoot.*
**[21:53] ---**
*But that's why...*
**[21:58] ---**
*I reach out my hand
And yours is waiting from above*
**[22:03] ---**
*I'm sure I knew before that touch*
**[22:04] ---**
*I want to...*
**[22:06] ---**
*Now I've felt your big, strong grasp*
**[22:07] ---**
*fight full force!*
**[22:09] ---**
**[22:10] ---**
*My dream where I grab the stars at night
Is getting oddly realistic*
**[22:11] ---**
**[22:15] ---**
*Before I remember what I failed to say,*
**[22:19] ---**
*You're already swimming in the next sky*
**[22:21] ---**
*Melting in an enviously brilliant
And clear yet lonely color,*
**[22:27] ---**
*Everything is reflected*
**[22:31] ---**
*Onto your little but big eyes
That are secretly burning*
**[22:39] ---**
*Do you still think
That scenery is beautiful?*
**[22:45] ---**
*It's okay if your reasons
Motivate you to live on*
**[22:52] ---**
*Even if you've forgotten
Whose words they are*
**[22:57] ---**
*Even if you're still stuck in the "Why?"*
**[23:04] ---**
*This place is for us
For us*

**[00:12] ---**
Chika.
**[00:14] ---**
You can actually...
**[00:18] ---**
shoot people, right?
**[00:21] ---**
What?
**[00:23] ---**
Even if your failure to shoot
makes a given situation worse,
**[00:29] ---**
I don't think
Osamu and Yuma will fault you.
**[00:40] ---**
*I think so too.*
**[00:44] ---**
*Both Osamu-kun and Yuma-kun*
**[00:47] ---**
*won't fault me if I can't shoot.*
**[00:52] ---**
*But that's why...*
**[00:55] ---**
*I want to...*
**[00:59] ---**
*fight full force!*
**[01:04] ---**
*Formidable Opponent*
**[01:08] ---**
Yuba Squad is strong once they're
in the zone, like Katori Squad.
**[01:12] ---**
Currently, they seem so.
**[01:15] ---**
Yuba-san fights more like an Attacker
with guns, rather than a Gunner.
**[01:20] ---**
Yeah, you're right there, too.
**[01:24] ---**
Hmm...
**[01:25] ---**
Then it'd be best if I could
spar with him before the match.
**[01:31] ---**
I feel not doing that
was why I lost to Ikoma-san.
**[01:34] ---**
Good point.
**[01:38] ---**
*My* senpai *knows him well.
I can introduce you to him.*
**[01:38] ---**
Great. Shun's gonna
introduce us to Yuba Squad.
**[01:42] ---**
- You mean Midorikawa?
- Yeah.
**[01:44] ---**
Looks like Shun's *senpai*
knows Yuba Squad well.
**[01:49] ---**
*Midorikawa's team...*
**[01:51] ---**
*A-Rank No. 4 Kusakabe Squad...*
**[01:55] ---**
I'll meet them tomorrow.
**[01:57] ---**
His *senpai* and Yuba-san, that is.
**[02:13] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose
what's most precious to me*
**[02:17] ---**
*They slip through my fingers
by way of cruel fate*
**[02:22] ---**
*More means of reclaiming
our stolen time and hearts*
**[02:26] ---**
*I know that's what
we're painfully lacking*
**[02:30] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror
The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[02:35] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[02:39] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass
A bullet should pierce through*
**[02:43] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[02:47] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[02:51] ---**
*The hopes of thousands
are on my shoulders*
**[02:56] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[03:00] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[03:05] ---**
*The yearning that connects
our past and present*
**[03:12] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[03:18] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,
the light radiates brightly*
**[03:42] ---**
Hey, you two.
**[03:44] ---**
So you came too, Mikumo *senpai?*
**[03:47] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:48] ---**
Actually, I'm here to meet your *senpai*
rather than Yuba-san.
**[03:53] ---**
Oh, really? Fine with me.
**[03:57] ---**
So, who's this *senpai*
I'm meeting tomorrow?
**[04:00] ---**
If it has to do with Yuba Squad,
I bet it's Satomi.
**[04:05] ---**
Yuba-chan's mentee,
and a Ninomiya fanatic.
**[04:08] ---**
A Ninomiya fanatic?
**[04:10] ---**
"Yuba-chan"?
**[04:13] ---**
Let's go then.
**[04:19] ---**
Kazuma *senpai!*
**[04:22] ---**
How's it hanging?
**[04:23] ---**
Hi, guys!
Nice to meetcha!
**[04:26] ---**
I'm Kazuma Satomi,
Kusakabe Squad's Gunner!
**[04:26] ---**
*A-Rank No. 4, Kusakabe Squad*
*Gunner: Kazuma Satomi (17)*
**[04:30] ---**
Thanks for playing with Shun
while we weren't around!
**[04:35] ---**
Pleasure's mine.
I'm Yuma Kuga from Tamakoma-2.
**[04:39] ---**
This is our Captain...
**[04:40] ---**
I'm Mikumo.
Thank you for meeting with us.
**[04:44] ---**
No problem!
**[04:45] ---**
I already talked with Yuba-san.
**[04:48] ---**
He'll be in their Squad Room by three.
**[04:51] ---**
So just drop by when it's time.
**[04:53] ---**
He's the punctual type.
**[04:56] ---**
That means
**[04:57] ---**
you can have a match before that!
**[05:00] ---**
Nah, I don't wanna be late.
**[05:05] ---**
So Kazuma *senpai*,
Yuba-san's your mentor, right?
**[05:10] ---**
In your opinion, what's he like?
**[05:13] ---**
Hm?
**[05:15] ---**
Personality-wise? Or in battle?
**[05:18] ---**
In battle.
**[05:21] ---**
Hmm, well...
**[05:24] ---**
Simply put...
**[05:27] ---**
He's invincible in duels.
**[05:30] ---**
Just to be clear,
that's my personal opinion.
**[05:33] ---**
But I think Yuba-san is a top-class
fighter in one-on-one battles.
**[05:39] ---**
Stronger than Kage *senpai?*
**[05:40] ---**
Oh, yeah! Kageura-san!
**[05:44] ---**
He's got that thing of his!
You're right!
**[05:49] ---**
But in fact,
**[05:50] ---**
Yuba-san has gone toe-to-toe
with Tachikawa-san.
**[05:54] ---**
Kazama-san, Ninomiya-san, and Ko-san
**[05:57] ---**
don't do many solo matches but
are ranked high for their winning rate.
**[06:02] ---**
But Yuba-san has fought thousands of
tough opponents to reach his high rank.
**[06:08] ---**
That style is more relatable to me.
**[06:11] ---**
He seems to be focused on team battles
instead of solo this season, though.
**[06:17] ---**
Have you heard why?
**[06:19] ---**
Um, yes. Just vaguely, though.
**[06:23] ---**
*Takuma Yuba,
Yukari Obishima, Kazuto Tonooka*
**[06:23] ---**
Yuba Squad had another member
until December, huh?
**[06:27] ---**
That's Kanda-san.
**[06:29] ---**
He quit to focus on
getting into college.
**[06:32] ---**
College? But December
is right before the entrance exams.
**[06:37] ---**
He was a smart guy
who always aced the practice tests.
**[06:42] ---**
But in the end,
he chose to focus on studying.
**[06:46] ---**
He stayed as long as possible, though.
**[06:49] ---**
So, the reason Yuba Squad's rank
has dropped now is...
**[06:54] ---**
Because Kanda-san
was pretty irreplaceable, yup.
**[06:58] ---**
Right!
**[06:59] ---**
Kanda-san wasn't flashy
but was really skilled.
**[07:04] ---**
While Yuba-san fought duels,
**[07:05] ---**
Kanda-san took command
and handled the others!
**[07:09] ---**
That style made Yuba Squad the coolest!
**[07:12] ---**
You should check last season's logs!
**[07:16] ---**
Hmm, sounds interesting.
**[07:18] ---**
Oh, it's almost time.
**[07:21] ---**
We better get going.
**[07:23] ---**
Mikumo *senpai* said
he has questions for you.
**[07:27] ---**
Hear him out.
**[07:28] ---**
Later, Osamu.
**[07:32] ---**
Oh really?
**[07:33] ---**
Bye, you guys.
**[07:39] ---**
Okay, so...
**[07:40] ---**
You have questions for me?
**[07:43] ---**
Uh, yes.
**[07:44] ---**
I heard that you, um...
**[07:46] ---**
respect Ninomiya-san a lot.
**[07:49] ---**
Yeah! I'm the most hard-core
Ninomiya-san fanatic!
**[07:53] ---**
*He acknowledges it?*
**[07:56] ---**
So...
**[07:57] ---**
Hm?
**[07:59] ---**
From your perspective,
what are his strong points?
**[08:03] ---**
Well, simply put...
**[08:07] ---**
He's invincible in duels.
**[08:09] ---**
Huh?
**[08:11] ---**
Didn't you say that
about Yuba-san, too?
**[08:16] ---**
I did.
**[08:21] ---**
I fight by imitating Ninomiya-san's
style with Yuba-san's techniques.
**[08:28] ---**
Ninomiya-san's style?
**[08:30] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[08:32] ---**
Ninomiya-san has a killer
one-on-one strategy.
**[08:36] ---**
It's simple once it's explained.
**[08:39] ---**
He has small shots, relying on numbers,
and big shots, emphasizing power.
**[08:44] ---**
He switches them up in full attack mode.
**[08:48] ---**
He broadens shields with the small
shots, then shatters them with big ones.
**[08:54] ---**
The big shots provoke focused shields,
and small shots whittle down the enemy.
**[09:01] ---**
With his skills and Trion volume,
**[09:03] ---**
this simple tactic works wonders.
**[09:07] ---**
Um...
**[09:08] ---**
We're facing off Ninomiya Squad
in the next match.
**[09:13] ---**
Is it okay to tell me his tactic?
**[09:18] ---**
Of course!
Everyone knows about it.
**[09:23] ---**
No one can counter it anyway.
**[09:27] ---**
Once you're caught,
you'll be ground down to death.
**[09:31] ---**
I mean it.
**[09:33] ---**
In the current B-Rank Wars, rather
than trying to counter his tactics,
**[09:39] ---**
the most common strategy is to simply
avoid fighting Ninomiya-san one-on-one.
**[09:47] ---**
When you do become his target,
**[09:49] ---**
you can only run and stall for time...
**[09:54] ---**
Or aim for a mutual kill...
**[09:59] ---**
Or do something helpful,
just so you won't die in vain.
**[10:03] ---**
Back in their A-Rank days,
no one could fight against him
**[10:07] ---**
except for Izumi.
**[10:09] ---**
So I guess those are decent choices.
**[10:12] ---**
Personally, I'd love to see him
in a full-on firefight, though.
**[10:17] ---**
On that note...
**[10:19] ---**
Your rookie seems to have skills
and Trion on par with Ninomiya-san.
**[10:25] ---**
So I'm hoping for the first
good shoot-out in ages.
**[10:29] ---**
Right, if we get the chance.
**[10:33] ---**
Oh, I have a simple question.
**[10:37] ---**
Who would win if the invincible two
fought one-on-one?
**[10:41] ---**
Hmm...
**[10:42] ---**
If they fought normally, Ninomiya-san.
**[10:46] ---**
*Masataka Ninomiya Takuma Yuba*
**[10:46] ---**
His Trion level is higher.
**[10:48] ---**
*Masataka Ninomiya Takuma Yuba*
*Total 62 Total 47.5*
**[10:49] ---**
So his shooting range
and combat style are broader.
**[10:53] ---**
But...
**[10:54] ---**
If it's a complicated terrain
within Yuba-san's range,
**[10:58] ---**
Yuba-san may have the advantage.
**[11:02] ---**
When Shooters attack,
**[11:04] ---**
they need to deploy the cube,
split it, aim, and then fire.
**[11:09] ---**
Each action slightly takes time.
**[11:12] ---**
Gunners just aim and fire.
**[11:15] ---**
And that action becomes faster
the more they train.
**[11:20] ---**
A quick draw duel within range
**[11:22] ---**
would give the lead to Yuba-san,
a close-range Gunner.
**[11:26] ---**
Some may disagree, but still.
**[11:28] ---**
Right. That makes sense.
**[11:32] ---**
So, you chose to be a Gunner
**[11:34] ---**
because of that advantage?
**[11:37] ---**
No way! I'm not the brainy type!
**[11:41] ---**
I'm just not cut out for
the Shooter style.
**[11:44] ---**
I can't control my shots when I panic.
**[11:48] ---**
But with the Gunner style,
**[11:50] ---**
you can shoot with reflexes
if you train enough.
**[11:54] ---**
That suits me better.
**[11:56] ---**
I can't lay out bullet traps
like Shooters.
**[12:01] ---**
But Gunner Triggers sync with
your body the more you use it.
**[12:07] ---**
And that feels great.
**[12:10] ---**
If you're interested, ask me.
**[12:13] ---**
I'll teach you.
**[12:15] ---**
Yes, I appreciate that.
**[12:18] ---**
Thank you for your time today.
**[12:20] ---**
I'll find a way to thank you properly.
**[12:23] ---**
Nah, you don't have to!
**[12:26] ---**
Kazuma!
**[12:29] ---**
Oh, hey!
**[12:31] ---**
Well, see ya, Mikumo-kun!
**[12:34] ---**
Yes. Thanks again.
**[12:39] ---**
Oh, Four-Eyes.
**[12:42] ---**
- Jin-san.
- How's it going?
**[12:45] ---**
Gathering intel for the Final Round?
**[12:48] ---**
Yes.
**[12:49] ---**
Midorikawa knew someone
that knows about Ninomiya-san.
**[12:53] ---**
Oh, I see.
You've got a great network.
**[12:59] ---**
But I've got to say,
**[13:01] ---**
you were lucky to ask a No. 1
about another No. 1.
**[13:05] ---**
Huh? No. 1?
**[13:07] ---**
That's right.
**[13:09] ---**
Kazuma Satomi is the No. 1 Gunner.
**[13:13] ---**
He's currently the top
of all the Gunner agents.
**[13:22] ---**
*Doesn't know his own rank.*
**[13:33] ---**
Will we make it in time?
**[13:36] ---**
Don't worry.
**[13:38] ---**
Almost there.
**[13:43] ---**
- Huh?
- Hm?
**[13:45] ---**
The door's open.
**[13:49] ---**
Hello.
**[13:50] ---**
Oh!
**[14:01] ---**
Yuba-san.
**[14:03] ---**
So you're here...
**[14:06] ---**
Kuga.
**[14:06] ---**
*B-Rank No. 7, Yuba Squad, Captain*
*Gunner: Takuma Yuba (19)*
**[14:08] ---**
Hi there. Good to meet you.
**[14:17] ---**
Obishima!
**[14:18] ---**
Sir.
**[14:20] ---**
Oh...
**[14:22] ---**
Heya.
**[14:24] ---**
We have guests.
**[14:25] ---**
Greet them.
**[14:26] ---**
Y...Yes.
**[14:29] ---**
H...Hello.
**[14:31] ---**
Yeah, hello.
**[14:32] ---**
Obishima...
**[14:36] ---**
Are you wimping out?
**[14:39] ---**
Put some spirit into it!
**[14:41] ---**
Yes.
**[14:48] ---**
I am Yuba Squad's All-Rounder, Obishima!
**[14:52] ---**
Kuga *senpai*, I admire
your sharp judgment,
**[14:55] ---**
creativity, and grit in battle!
**[14:58] ---**
It's an absolute honor to meet you!
**[15:03] ---**
Hm?
**[15:05] ---**
This one got blown away,
watching your matches.
**[15:10] ---**
Be nice, will ya?
**[15:12] ---**
Is that so.
**[15:14] ---**
I am very flattered.
**[15:18] ---**
Let's both keep doing our best, my man.
**[15:21] ---**
Oh...
**[15:24] ---**
Yes... Thank you.
**[15:27] ---**
What the hell, Kuga...
**[15:30] ---**
Hm?
**[15:32] ---**
Obishima-chan's a girl.
**[15:35] ---**
Huh?
**[15:40] ---**
Um, that's right. I'm a girl.
**[15:48] ---**
I am so terribly sorry.
**[15:52] ---**
My deepest apologies.
**[15:54] ---**
No, please don't.
**[15:56] ---**
People make that mistake a lot.
**[15:56] ---**
*Yuba Squad, All-Rounder:*
*Yukari Obishima (14)*
**[15:58] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[16:01] ---**
Yeah, you don't need to be that sorry.
**[16:04] ---**
You're overdoing it.
**[16:05] ---**
No, not at all.
**[16:07] ---**
The last time I made the same mistake,
I was nagged at for ages...
**[16:13] ---**
"The last time"?
**[16:15] ---**
That groveling
shows your sincerity, Kuga.
**[16:19] ---**
How about adding to it by
giving Obishima some training?
**[16:24] ---**
Oh?
**[16:25] ---**
Ah! I'd like that very much!
**[16:28] ---**
Fair enough. Okay...
**[16:41] ---**
Kuga, you little punk...
**[16:45] ---**
Why the hell are you holding back?!
**[16:48] ---**
Honestly, I'm not.
**[16:50] ---**
Obishima-chan's got a lot of talent.
**[16:53] ---**
Nah, you were clearly holding back.
**[16:56] ---**
I already know
you're way better than this.
**[17:00] ---**
Now put your ass into it!
**[17:04] ---**
Then...
**[17:06] ---**
Will you fight with me?
**[17:08] ---**
- Huh?
- Oh!
**[17:18] ---**
No way.
**[17:20] ---**
You think I'm stupid enough
to show my moves to a foe?
**[17:24] ---**
Yeah, but I'm in the same boat,
aren't I?
**[17:28] ---**
You still owe Obishima big time!
**[17:31] ---**
You gotta pay in full.
**[17:34] ---**
Show them one of your new moves.
**[17:37] ---**
I bet he's not gonna
let you leave otherwise.
**[17:40] ---**
You seem to be having fun...
**[17:43] ---**
Um, it doesn't have to be a new move.
**[17:46] ---**
I just want you
to fight with me full-on!
**[17:50] ---**
Hmm...
**[17:52] ---**
Okay. Just this once.
**[17:56] ---**
Now then...
**[17:58] ---**
Ready...
**[18:00] ---**
Go!
**[18:18] ---**
*A projectile?*
**[18:23] ---**
*He's coming!*
**[18:25] ---**
*His left is a feint.*
**[18:28] ---**
*So his right!*
**[18:43] ---**
- Huh?
- Whoa.
**[18:46] ---**
*The projectile from earlier?*
**[18:48] ---**
*Trion supply system destroyed.*
**[18:56] ---**
*A Mole Claw? No...*
**[19:00] ---**
I connected a Scorpion from underground
to that projectile and transformed it.
**[19:07] ---**
It's a variation on
Kage *senpai's* Mantis.
**[19:10] ---**
Whoa, really? Cool trick!
**[19:15] ---**
*I had no idea what had happened...*
**[19:19] ---**
*So this is Kuga* senpai's *skill!*
**[19:23] ---**
Was that new move good enough?
**[19:26] ---**
Then I'll be leaving!
**[19:28] ---**
Stop right there.
**[19:33] ---**
You overpaid, Kuga.
**[19:37] ---**
Here's your change.
**[19:39] ---**
I'll fight with you just once.
**[19:45] ---**
Oh... Now you're talking.
**[19:50] ---**
You guys in position?
**[19:56] ---**
Okay.
**[19:58] ---**
Ready...
**[20:08] ---**
Go!
**[20:24] ---**
*Trion body limit exceeded.*
**[20:32] ---**
No offense...
**[20:33] ---**
But keeping our top rank
**[20:36] ---**
depends on the Final Round.
**[20:39] ---**
So that's all I can show you today.
**[20:45] ---**
I see.
**[20:47] ---**
Like I thought, you're way faster
than you seem in the logs.
**[20:53] ---**
Humph.
**[20:57] ---**
Thank you so much, Kuga *senpai.*
**[21:00] ---**
I learned a lot!
**[21:02] ---**
Same to you.
**[21:04] ---**
Thanks for humoring me, Yuba-san.
**[21:07] ---**
I'll get my revenge in our match.
**[21:10] ---**
Oh, yeah? Just you try.
**[21:20] ---**
Tch.
**[21:22] ---**
I wouldn't want to
fight that guy head-on.
**[21:25] ---**
Right.
**[21:31] ---**
- The next match...
- Hm?
**[21:38] ---**
I'm really hyped about it.
**[21:40] ---**
Bet you are.
**[22:01] ---**
*I reach out my hand
And yours is waiting from above*
**[22:06] ---**
*I'm sure I knew before that touch*
**[22:09] ---**
*Now I've felt your big, strong grasp*
**[22:13] ---**
*My dream where I grab the stars at night
Is getting oddly realistic*
**[22:18] ---**
*Before I remember what I failed to say,*
**[22:22] ---**
*You're already swimming in the next sky*
**[22:25] ---**
*Melting in an enviously brilliant
And clear yet lonely color,*
**[22:31] ---**
*Everything is reflected*
**[22:34] ---**
*Onto your little but big eyes
That are secretly burning*
**[22:42] ---**
*Do you still think
That scenery is beautiful?*
**[22:48] ---**
*It's okay if your reasons
Motivate you to live on*
**[22:56] ---**
*Even if you've forgotten
Whose words they are*
**[23:00] ---**
*Even if you're still stuck in the "Why?"*
**[23:07] ---**
*This place is for us
For us*
**[23:13] ---**

**[00:12] ---**
From your perspective,
what are his strong points?
**[00:16] ---**
Simply put...
**[00:19] ---**
He's invincible in duels.
**[00:22] ---**
So you're here...
**[00:25] ---**
Kuga.
**[00:27] ---**
Now then, ready...
**[00:30] ---**
go!
**[00:45] ---**
Oh, Jin-san!
**[00:47] ---**
Hi there.
**[00:48] ---**
- Hey.
- Welcome back.
**[00:50] ---**
*Change of Plans*
**[00:51] ---**
It's rare of you to come
join the Solo Rank Wars.
**[00:54] ---**
I've been here more lately.
**[00:56] ---**
Then fight against me too.
**[00:59] ---**
Nah, I've had enough with
Tachikawa-san and the others today.
**[01:03] ---**
Man!
**[01:05] ---**
Glance.
**[01:07] ---**
Jin-san, actually I kinda
owe Shun a favor, so...
**[01:14] ---**
I see.
**[01:16] ---**
Okay.
**[01:18] ---**
Okay, first to ten wins.
**[01:21] ---**
Woo-hoo!
**[01:25] ---**
Thank you so much.
**[01:27] ---**
No problem. This is par for the course
for me, an Elite Agent.
**[01:33] ---**
We haven't fought in a while, Shun.
**[01:36] ---**
Did you get better?
**[01:38] ---**
You'll see in our battle soon.
**[01:52] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose*
*what's most precious to me*
**[01:56] ---**
*They slip through my fingers*
*by way of cruel fate*
**[02:01] ---**
*More means of reclaiming*
*our stolen time and hearts*
**[02:05] ---**
*I know that's what*
*we're painfully lacking*
**[02:09] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror*
*The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[02:14] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[02:18] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass*
*A bullet should pierce through*
**[02:22] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[02:26] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[02:30] ---**
*The hopes of thousands*
*are on my shoulders*
**[02:35] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[02:39] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[02:44] ---**
*The yearning that connects*
*our past and present*
**[02:50] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[02:57] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,*
*the light radiates brightly*
**[03:12] ---**
Alright, so...
**[03:14] ---**
Let's go over the intel we've gathered.
**[03:17] ---**
First, about Yuba Squad.
**[03:19] ---**
Gotcha.
**[03:21] ---**
I met two of them,
and Yuba-san is quite skilled.
**[03:26] ---**
Unlike in the logs,
**[03:28] ---**
he raises his guns too fast to follow.
**[03:31] ---**
*Range*
**[03:31] ---**
By saving resources
on range and bullets,
**[03:34] ---**
I believe he uses the rest of his Trion
for power and rate of fire.
**[03:34] ---**
*Power / Speed*
**[03:40] ---**
He has his own method,
**[03:42] ---**
while the other Gunners use their
long range to whittle down enemies.
**[03:47] ---**
Satomi *senpai* said that Yuba-san
**[03:50] ---**
would probably beat Ninomiya-san
in a close-range one-on-one fight.
**[03:55] ---**
Kuga was likely defeated because
Yuba-san does best in such situations.
**[04:01] ---**
Yup, probably.
**[04:03] ---**
I couldn't get a shield up in time.
**[04:06] ---**
Reacting after his action is too late.
**[04:09] ---**
As a countermeasure,
**[04:10] ---**
we could use a thick wall barrier
and wait for a break in his fire,
**[04:16] ---**
or keep him from pursuing us
with Osamu's wires.
**[04:20] ---**
Hyuse-kun's Escudo could work too.
**[04:23] ---**
And it's key that we engage him
outside of his range.
**[04:28] ---**
In that case, Hyuse's and my
long-range attacks or
**[04:32] ---**
sniping him with Chika's Lead Bullets
would work.
**[04:41] ---**
In the logs, he sometimes uses Viper
**[04:44] ---**
and even equips a Bagworm
for sneak attacks.
**[04:47] ---**
Seems he uses strategies
based on the opponent.
**[04:51] ---**
When Asteroid is enough,
he beats the enemy, shield included.
**[04:57] ---**
Against an enemy with lots of Trion,
**[05:00] ---**
he uses Viper and sneak attacks
to throw them off balance.
**[05:04] ---**
So Hyuse and Chika should watch out
for the latter strategy.
**[05:08] ---**
Got it.
**[05:09] ---**
And the other agent you met?
**[05:12] ---**
Obishima-chan is an All-Rounder.
**[05:14] ---**
I only saw her use Kogetsu,
**[05:16] ---**
but she's light on her feet
and good at defense.
**[05:20] ---**
She uses Shooters' Triggers
in the recent logs,
**[05:23] ---**
but maybe she's an Attacker
who favors Kogetsu at heart.
**[05:27] ---**
Sort of like that Attacker
on Nasu Squad.
**[05:31] ---**
You mean Kuma-chan?
**[05:33] ---**
I see.
**[05:34] ---**
I think she's often acting
to cover Yuba-san,
**[05:38] ---**
so we should take her down
when she's alone.
**[05:41] ---**
That's everything I learned.
**[05:43] ---**
That direct fight with Yuba-san
helped a lot.
**[05:46] ---**
Okay.
And what about you, Osamu?
**[05:51] ---**
Here's what Satomi *senpai* told me...
**[05:56] ---**
So he specializes in one-on-one combat.
**[06:00] ---**
The logs show him
getting points that way.
**[06:03] ---**
I've heard of Ninomiya-san's
irregular full-attack mode too.
**[06:08] ---**
Come to think of it, people tend to
**[06:11] ---**
avoid a one-on-one situation
against him.
**[06:15] ---**
Can you beat Ninomiya
all on your own, Hyuse?
**[06:18] ---**
I have an advantage in Trion, but...
**[06:22] ---**
If I play defense against him
even a moment,
**[06:25] ---**
I'd probably be finished off.
**[06:28] ---**
Hm... Why's that?
**[06:31] ---**
To block his two types of bullets,
**[06:34] ---**
I need to employ
two different shields too.
**[06:37] ---**
But with shields in both hands,
I can't use any Triggers to attack.
**[06:43] ---**
Defending without countering,
**[06:45] ---**
I'll be blown away and get damaged.
**[06:49] ---**
His strategy is strong because his
one-sided attacks immobilize the enemy.
**[06:55] ---**
What if you fight the same way?
**[06:58] ---**
Equipping a bullet-based Trigger
in each hand,
**[07:02] ---**
I need to get the first attack.
**[07:06] ---**
However, going solo in full-attack mode
makes me defenseless.
**[07:12] ---**
*You're wide-open.*
**[07:15] ---**
*Shooters and Gunners
going into full-attack mode*
**[07:19] ---**
*can't defend themselves,
so it's a good idea to target them.*
**[07:26] ---**
In that previous match, when
the enemy sniper wasn't spotted yet,
**[07:32] ---**
he kept one hand free for defense.
**[07:35] ---**
Except for the one-on-one situation
between the last two agents left,
**[07:41] ---**
it's more pragmatic
to reunite and act as a team
**[07:44] ---**
rather than going unguarded
in full-attack mode.
**[07:48] ---**
It explains why his one-on-one
tends to not occur lately.
**[07:53] ---**
Hm.
**[07:54] ---**
So the plan Shiori-chan
suggested yesterday
**[07:58] ---**
where Hyuse fires behind Chika's shield
could work well.
**[08:02] ---**
You're right indeed.
**[08:06] ---**
*But that strategy alone would be...*
**[08:09] ---**
In regard to that,
**[08:14] ---**
Chika-chan has an announcement.
**[08:17] ---**
Announcement?
**[08:27] ---**
I'll...
**[08:31] ---**
I'll use normal bullets
in the next match.
**[08:39] ---**
Do you mean...the normal ones
not your Lead Bullets?
**[08:44] ---**
Yes.
**[08:45] ---**
I talked it over with
Shiori-san and Hyuse-kun.
**[08:48] ---**
If we can use
her Hound and Meteor normally,
**[08:51] ---**
we could easily earn points
and even outgun Ninomiya.
**[08:56] ---**
We'd flip Shiori's suggestion around.
**[08:59] ---**
Chika would fire,
and we would defend.
**[09:05] ---**
*Right... We'd have a big advantage
in firepower if that's possible.*
**[09:11] ---**
*But...*
**[09:14] ---**
Chika.
**[09:16] ---**
Are you sure...you can shoot people?
**[09:33] ---**
I think I can.
**[09:37] ---**
Because I found out
why I couldn't do it before.
**[09:48] ---**
Great.
**[09:52] ---**
If you think you can,
then give it a try.
**[09:57] ---**
You're the one who decides that,
**[09:59] ---**
and Osamu too, our Captain.
**[10:04] ---**
*If Kuga is saying that,
that must mean Chika isn't lying.*
**[10:13] ---**
Okay, that'll be our strategy.
**[10:18] ---**
But I'll decide the timing
of Chika's real shots.
**[10:23] ---**
Don't shoot without a plan.
**[10:30] ---**
In a firefight with Ninomiya-san,
defending her should be...
**[10:35] ---**
It'd be my job
based on my Trion value.
**[10:37] ---**
But as I said yesterday, she and I
might not be able to get together.
**[10:44] ---**
Well... Either way,
we need some backup strategies.
**[10:51] ---**
Usami *senpai*.
**[10:53] ---**
There's something I want to try out
in the training room.
**[11:04] ---**
What's up, Osamu?
**[11:05] ---**
Hello, Karasuma *senpai*.
**[11:08] ---**
I'd like you to help out my squad.
**[11:13] ---**
Got it. I was actually headed that way.
**[11:23] ---**
Well? What do you need from me?
**[11:27] ---**
I'd like you to play
as a "quasi-Ninomiya-san."
**[11:31] ---**
Quasi? You mean...
**[11:33] ---**
Usami *senpai* said our Trion volume
can be modified in the training room.
**[11:39] ---**
So you want me to have the same
Trion volume as Ninomiya-san's
**[11:41] ---**
*Torimaru, Ninomiya*
**[11:44] ---**
and fight against you all?
**[11:45] ---**
*Ninomaru*
**[11:46] ---**
Yes.
**[11:47] ---**
I'm not an expert Shooter,
**[11:50] ---**
so I'm technically not equal to him.
**[11:53] ---**
The logs show some scenes
of his Full Attack.
**[11:56] ---**
Please imitate that.
**[11:58] ---**
You're talented, so you can do it.
**[12:01] ---**
Hyuse can probably play his part, but...
**[12:05] ---**
Then I wouldn't get any training in.
**[12:08] ---**
Okay.
**[12:10] ---**
Wait a sec.
**[12:14] ---**
- Hello.
- *Hey there.*
**[12:16] ---**
Can you swap dinner duty
with me tonight?
**[12:19] ---**
*- Huh? Why?*
- Osamu asked me to help them train.
**[12:23] ---**
*Why can't you ask Jin?*
**[12:25] ---**
Jin-san? No way, I can't
ask senior people like him.
**[12:29] ---**
*I'm your senior too.*
**[12:30] ---**
Oh? Well...I guess so.
**[12:34] ---**
Yes, I respect you. I really do.
**[12:38] ---**
I'll take one of your shifts.
**[12:40] ---**
*Promise me.*
**[12:41] ---**
- Thanks.
- *Make sure you...*
**[12:44] ---**
It's done. No problem.
**[12:47] ---**
*I'm sure that was Konami* senpai*.*
**[13:01] ---**
Let's begin.
**[13:06] ---**
We're ready.
**[13:09] ---**
Oh? Are you on dinner duty today,
Konami?
**[13:12] ---**
I gave him a break, since I'm so nice!
**[13:42] ---**
*Trion body limit exceeded.*
**[13:48] ---**
It gets tough when he moves first.
**[13:51] ---**
But you held on much longer this time.
**[13:54] ---**
Adding another Escudo in time
might be enough.
**[13:57] ---**
No. Ninomiya's probably even faster.
**[14:01] ---**
Okay, it's to confront Ninomiya-san.
**[14:03] ---**
But why the one-on-one scenario?
**[14:07] ---**
To get the advantage, you should keep
him from going into full-attack mode.
**[14:13] ---**
I thought so at first too.
**[14:16] ---**
But I'm seeing things differently now.
**[14:21] ---**
Ninomiya-san's Full Attack is
super powerful in a duel.
**[14:25] ---**
But it always creates a moment
when he's defenseless.
**[14:30] ---**
So if we set up a one-on-one for him,
**[14:32] ---**
*Battle!*
**[14:34] ---**
we can get that opening
in his defense.
**[14:38] ---**
*You're wide-open.*
**[14:40] ---**
This training is to get a feel for
the timing of that opening
**[14:44] ---**
and to prolong the duel situation
to keep him unguarded longer.
**[14:50] ---**
So it's not about guarding against
Ninomiya-san's Full Attack
**[14:55] ---**
but about inducing it
to create that opening?
**[14:59] ---**
Exactly.
**[15:01] ---**
I understand your thoughts.
**[15:04] ---**
But what if he doesn't get into
the one-on-one you set up?
**[15:10] ---**
The only first-place squad
**[15:12] ---**
wouldn't bother to give Hyuse
a one-on-one firefight.
**[15:17] ---**
That may be true of
Ninomiya Squad, but...
**[15:21] ---**
not of Ninomiya-san himself.
**[15:27] ---**
What makes you sure of that?
**[15:29] ---**
I'm not absolutely sure,
but somewhat...
**[15:33] ---**
Torimaru *senpai*,
give us some of Yuba-san's quick draw.
**[15:38] ---**
And Ikoma's Whirlwind.
**[15:40] ---**
You can do it.
**[15:41] ---**
What a big ask.
**[15:45] ---**
*When we met his squad that night...*
**[15:48] ---**
*How could she go there
with civilians after that.*
**[15:53] ---**
*The others accepted
Hatohara-san's situation calmly.*
**[15:57] ---**
*It changed my image of him.*
**[16:00] ---**
*I'm Ninomiya Squad's Ninomiya.*
**[16:02] ---**
*Don't just stand there, Mikumo.*
**[16:06] ---**
*His actions were more emotional
than I had thought.*
**[16:11] ---**
*There must be a mastermind
who put that idiot up to this.*
**[16:14] ---**
*In fact, he may be the type who acts*
**[16:18] ---**
*less on reason and more on emotion.*
**[16:22] ---**
*People act much less logically
than you'd think.*
**[16:26] ---**
*You're better off trying to read
their personalities and habits.*
**[16:31] ---**
*Ask me once you're chosen.*
**[16:34] ---**
*If Ninomiya-san sees
a one-on-one situation,*
**[16:37] ---**
*he'd accept that even with some risks.*
**[16:41] ---**
*I bet that's how it'll play out.*
**[16:57] ---**
Konami *senpai*'s curry is the best.
**[17:00] ---**
Of course it is!
**[17:02] ---**
We'll still work on our strategy
with Karasuma *senpai* after dinner.
**[17:06] ---**
Tomorrow is the main part,
Chika and Hyuse's teamwork.
**[17:10] ---**
- Yup.
- Roger that!
**[17:12] ---**
Oh yeah, I was invited to the booth
for the final match.
**[17:16] ---**
Don't embarrass the Tamakoma Branch.
**[17:20] ---**
You're doing commentary?
**[17:22] ---**
Can you handle that?
**[17:24] ---**
I've done it before!
**[17:32] ---**
Alright.
**[17:38] ---**
One last push then. Let's go!
**[17:45] ---**
Good evening, Border!
**[17:48] ---**
I'm Sakurako Taketomi
from Ebina Squad.
**[17:51] ---**
Day 8 night session
of the B-Rank Wars.
**[17:53] ---**
This is the last match of the season.
**[17:57] ---**
Joining me for commentary are
**[17:59] ---**
Tamakoma-1's ace Attacker,
Konami *senpai*...
**[18:03] ---**
Glad to be here.
**[18:05] ---**
And Captain Oji and Agent Kurauchi from
Oji Squad who fought in the day session.
**[18:10] ---**
Hello.
**[18:11] ---**
Thanks for having us.
**[18:13] ---**
Let's take a look at
today's day session results.
**[18:17] ---**
Azuma Squad earned four points,
**[18:21] ---**
while Kageura and Oji Squads
got three points each.
**[18:25] ---**
Any thoughts on your earlier match?
**[18:28] ---**
The map was the exhibition area
Azuma-san likes.
**[18:31] ---**
So we fought being wary of sniping.
**[18:35] ---**
But Okkun and Koala had bullet Triggers
**[18:38] ---**
and caught us totally off guard.
**[18:41] ---**
Kage-kun charged Azuma Squad
but was distracted by Okkun's bullets
**[18:46] ---**
and then taken down by Azuma-san.
**[18:49] ---**
In fact, we should be commended
for the close end scores, 4-3-3.
**[18:54] ---**
I see.
**[18:56] ---**
And a big issue to keep in mind
for this round
**[18:59] ---**
*1. Ninomiya Squad, 2. Kageura Squad,
3. Tamakoma-2, 4. Ikoma Squad*
**[18:59] ---**
is the battle for second place
between Kageura Squad and Tamakoma-2.
**[19:04] ---**
Since Kageura Squad got three points,
**[19:07] ---**
Tamakoma-2 needs four points
to get second place to themselves.
**[19:12] ---**
What's your take on it, Konami *senpai*?
**[19:16] ---**
Four points, it's a breeze!
**[19:18] ---**
Great job, Azuma-san and Oji.
**[19:20] ---**
I commend you guys.
**[19:22] ---**
Hooray!
**[19:23] ---**
You think Tamakoma-2 will most likely
reach at least second place?
**[19:28] ---**
This four-way battle has many fighters.
**[19:31] ---**
Getting four points
will be easy for them.
**[19:34] ---**
*Tamakoma-2, Azuma Squad,
Kageura Squad, Suzunari-1*
**[19:34] ---**
They won their last match against
four elite teams with six points.
**[19:38] ---**
Hmm... You're right
as long as we talk about that match.
**[19:43] ---**
But Tamakoma's score
included the survival bonus.
**[19:47] ---**
Only four of them were
from defeating enemies.
**[19:51] ---**
And now we all know
about Hyuston's abilities,
**[19:55] ---**
so it'll be harder
for him to get points.
**[19:59] ---**
I think this might be tougher
for them than you think.
**[20:03] ---**
They can just get
the survival bonus again.
**[20:06] ---**
But can they?
**[20:08] ---**
Ninomiya-san has survived the most
rounds in this season next to Azuma-san.
**[20:14] ---**
True. Captain Ninomiya
went down only twice.
**[20:18] ---**
In Round 2, against Ikoma's
wall-piercing Whirlwind,
**[20:22] ---**
and in Round 6, when Kageura's sneak
attack resulted in a double dropout.
**[20:27] ---**
They need to remove Captain Ninomiya
from play to earn the bonus.
**[20:32] ---**
Hmph...
**[20:34] ---**
So that's why Osamu
focused on a strategy against him.
**[20:39] ---**
Oh, did he?
**[20:42] ---**
Yuba Squad has picked the map.
**[20:44] ---**
*Stage Set*
**[20:45] ---**
The map will be Cityscape B.
**[20:45] ---**
*B-Rank Wars
Stage: Cityscape B*
**[20:47] ---**
As expected, since they always
pick this one when it's their turn.
**[20:53] ---**
Speaking of Yuba Squad,
Captain Oji and Agent Kurauchi
**[20:56] ---**
*The original Yuba Squad*
**[20:57] ---**
share history with them
as their original members.
**[20:59] ---**
*Takuma Yuba, Nono Fujimaru,
Tadaomi Kanda*
**[21:01] ---**
*Kazuaki Oji, Kazuki Kurauchi*
**[21:02] ---**
Any thoughts as Yuba Squad prepares
for the final match?
**[21:07] ---**
I think they're struggling
without Kanda.
**[21:11] ---**
Kandata always
anticipated the others' needs.
**[21:14] ---**
*6. Azuma Squad, 7. Yuba Squad
8. Suzunari-1, 9. Katori Squad*
**[21:15] ---**
He might feel responsible if they
move down from the top group.
**[21:20] ---**
So I think Yuba-san
wants to remain there.
**[21:23] ---**
Right, Yuba-chan might
worry about stuff like that.
**[21:27] ---**
So whether Yuba Squad can
preserve its rank or not
**[21:31] ---**
is another noteworthy thing
in this match.
**[21:35] ---**
*Time Until Start*
**[21:38] ---**
Now, this final and fateful fight
will begin shortly!
**[21:43] ---**
*Time Until Start*
**[22:02] ---**
*I reach out my hand
And yours is waiting from above*
**[22:06] ---**
*I'm sure I knew before that touch*
**[22:10] ---**
*Now I've felt your big, strong grasp*
**[22:13] ---**
*My dream where I grab the stars at night
Is getting oddly realistic*
**[22:18] ---**
*Before I remember what I failed to say,*
**[22:22] ---**
*You're already swimming in the next sky*
**[22:25] ---**
*Melting in an enviously brilliant
And clear yet lonely color,*
**[22:31] ---**
*Everything is reflected*
**[22:34] ---**
*Onto your little but big eyes
That are secretly burning*
**[22:42] ---**
*Do you still think
That scenery is beautiful?*
**[22:48] ---**
*It's okay if your reasons
Motivate you to live on*
**[22:56] ---**
*Even if you've forgotten
Whose words they are*
**[23:00] ---**
*Even if you're still stuck in the "Why?"*
**[23:07] ---**
*This place is for us
For us*
**[23:13] ---**
**[23:15] ---**

**[00:11] ---**
In regard to that,
**[00:17] ---**
Chika-chan has an announcement.
**[00:19] ---**
Announcement?
**[00:21] ---**
I'll...
**[00:25] ---**
I'll use normal bullets
in the next match.
**[00:31] ---**
Let's begin.
**[00:40] ---**
*Trion body limit exceeded.*
**[00:45] ---**
Day 8 night session
of the B-Rank Wars.
**[00:47] ---**
This is the last match of the season.
**[00:51] ---**
*B-Rank Wars*
*Stage: Cityscape B*
**[00:51] ---**
The map will be Cityscape B.
**[00:54] ---**
Now, this final and fateful fight

**[00:59] ---**
*Time Until Start*
**[01:12] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose
what's most precious to me*
**[01:16] ---**
*They slip through my fingers
by way of cruel fate*
**[01:21] ---**
*More means of reclaiming
our stolen time and hearts*
**[01:25] ---**
*I know that's what
we're painfully lacking*
**[01:30] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror
The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[01:34] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[01:38] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass
A bullet should pierce through*
**[01:42] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[01:46] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[01:50] ---**
*The hopes of thousands
are on my shoulders*
**[01:55] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[02:00] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[02:04] ---**
*The yearning that connects
our past and present*
**[02:11] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[02:17] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,
the light radiates brightly*
**[02:33] ---**
Okay.
**[02:33] ---**
*Final Round*
**[02:35] ---**
Here's our final rundown.
**[02:37] ---**
First, we all head to Chika's location.
**[02:41] ---**
That's our top priority this time, too.
**[02:44] ---**
Once Chika and Hyuse meet,
start a firefight as practiced.
**[02:49] ---**
I'll set up wire zones as insurance.
**[02:53] ---**
Chika will be using
real shots this time.
**[02:57] ---**
Her Meteor or Hound can
flush out hidden opponents.
**[03:03] ---**
So defending and waiting
inside the wire zone is best.
**[03:07] ---**
Like a powered-up version
of our tactic in Round 5.
**[03:11] ---**
- Yeah. Got it.
- Next...
**[03:14] ---**
We need to find out
where each team's ace is.
**[03:15] ---**
*Takuma Yuba,
Tatsuhito Ikoma, Masataka Ninomiya*
**[03:18] ---**
Chika and Hyuse combined
shouldn't lose to anyone in a firefight.
**[03:26] ---**
But Ikoma-san's long-range Whirlwind
can cut through Hyuse's shields.
**[03:31] ---**
Follow Usami *senpai's* lead
and keep Chika out of its range.
**[03:35] ---**
- Okay.
- Leave it to me.
**[03:38] ---**
When Ninomiya-san's near
Inukai or Tsuji *senpai,*
**[03:42] ---**
beware of their combined bullets.
**[03:45] ---**
Don't let their Gimlet
break our defenses.
**[03:49] ---**
If foes approach from behind buildings,
**[03:52] ---**
counter with Chika's Meteor
or Kuga's wire moves.
**[03:56] ---**
Okay.
**[03:57] ---**
If Chika and Hyuse can't regroup,
**[04:00] ---**
we switch to plan B,
featuring Kuga and Hyuse.
**[04:04] ---**
As long as we can earn points,
we don't have to force a firefight.
**[04:09] ---**
And Hyuse can decide
when to reveal his Viper.
**[04:13] ---**
Understood.
**[04:15] ---**
Alright.
**[04:16] ---**
Just four more points.
**[04:21] ---**
Let's win this Final Round!
**[04:23] ---**
Roger!
**[04:28] ---**
*Yuba Squad Strategy Room*
**[04:39] ---**
The worst situation
**[04:42] ---**
is getting our hands tied
by Amatori's blasts.
**[04:46] ---**
In terms of firepower,
she's more menacing than Ninomiya-san.
**[04:51] ---**
But we still don't know
if she can shoot, right?
**[04:55] ---**
She couldn't shoot people
until recently.
**[04:55] ---**
*Yuba Squad Sniper:
Kazuto Tonooka (16)*
**[04:57] ---**
Can she change that quickly?
**[05:00] ---**
She blasted Okudera to bits
in the last match.
**[05:04] ---**
I'm sure that's given her confidence.
**[05:04] ---**
*Yuba Squad Operator:
Nono Fujimaru (19)*
**[05:07] ---**
In any case, Tonooka,
Amatori's your only target this time.
**[05:12] ---**
One-on-one defense?
**[05:14] ---**
Right. We don't need your backup.
**[05:17] ---**
Just don't let Amatori run free.
**[05:19] ---**
Got it!
**[05:21] ---**
- Obishima.
- Yes!
**[05:23] ---**
If you run into Kuga,
what will you do?
**[05:26] ---**
Last time, he used a big move
because I was too passive.
**[05:30] ---**
So I'll take the offensive this time!
**[05:33] ---**
In your head, is Kuga
that easy to handle?
**[05:40] ---**
No, he's not.
**[05:46] ---**
I think he showed me that move
**[05:48] ---**
to dupe me with
a different trick this time!
**[05:52] ---**
Good, you understand.
**[05:56] ---**
Put your all into it, guys!
**[05:58] ---**
If our rank drops,
Kanda will be like...
**[06:02] ---**
"I guess Yuba Squad's hopeless
without me, after all."
**[06:07] ---**
And he'll say that with a smug face!
**[06:10] ---**
*I bet he'd say that
to keep our chins up.*
**[06:14] ---**
I've booked us a restaurant.
**[06:16] ---**
We'll keep our high rank.
Kanda will get into college.
**[06:21] ---**
We're gonna slay this
**[06:23] ---**
and have a big feast!
**[06:24] ---**
Right!
**[06:28] ---**
*Ikoma Squad Strategy Room*
**[06:34] ---**
The other day, I saw Jin
at the solo matches.
**[06:38] ---**
- Jin-san? That's rare.
- Right?
**[06:41] ---**
I wanted to fight him,
but Tachikawa-san beat me to it.
**[06:45] ---**
They were taking forever.
**[06:47] ---**
So I went inside
and got a close look at their battle.
**[06:53] ---**
- That's distracting.
- And awkward.
**[06:56] ---**
Those two are darn strong.
Simply amazing.
**[06:59] ---**
I wanna face Jin-san too!
**[07:01] ---**
What's this about?
**[07:02] ---**
Our match is soon.
Talk about something else.
**[07:06] ---**
Something else...
**[07:20] ---**
This one time, I thought
the wind was howling like crazy...
**[07:29] ---**
But it was my nose whistling.
**[07:32] ---**
Is that relevant?!
**[07:33] ---**
- Tell me more about it!
- Not interested.
**[07:36] ---**
He told the whole story already.
**[07:40] ---**
You guys never change.
**[07:42] ---**
We've fought all of them,
and we've got data on Hyuse.
**[07:46] ---**
Just adapt to your starting positions.
**[07:49] ---**
We can't counter
Amatori-chan's kaboom anyway.
**[07:52] ---**
She's your target, though.
**[07:56] ---**
Stay tuned for the Final Round.
**[07:59] ---**
Who are you talking to?
**[08:10] ---**
*Ninomiya Squad Training Room*
**[08:33] ---**
Inukai *senpai,* Tsuji-kun.
**[08:35] ---**
It's time.
**[08:42] ---**
Roger.
**[08:48] ---**
Let's go.
**[08:50] ---**
*Until Transmission*
**[08:54] ---**
All squads, begin transmission!
**[09:06] ---**
*All agents have been transferred!*
**[09:09] ---**
*Every agent starts randomly*
*at a fixed distance from each other.*
**[09:20] ---**
These are their positions.
**[09:21] ---**
Pairs from each squad
were warped rather closely.
**[09:25] ---**
Will they first try to regroup
with the isolated?
**[09:29] ---**
Yuba Squad's loner
is their Sniper, Tono-kun.
**[09:32] ---**
So they don't need to regroup.
**[09:35] ---**
Tono-kun usually
prefers working solo.
**[09:39] ---**
Ossamu's the one who's vulnerable alone.
**[09:42] ---**
But their rookie's in a worse position.
**[09:46] ---**
He's surrounded by Yuba Squad,
Ikoma Squad and Inukai.
**[10:01] ---**
Two from Yuba Squad
met up in the north.
**[10:04] ---**
*They'll likely target the loners.*
*Watch out, Kai.*
**[10:08] ---**
Gotcha!
**[10:10] ---**
In the east, Yuba Squad
is the first to move!
**[10:13] ---**
They want to strike
before their foes regroup.
**[10:16] ---**
And on the west side,
**[10:18] ---**
Ninomiya Squad and Tamakoma-2
may clash, two-on-two!
**[10:22] ---**
Right. The radar suggests Kuga is alone.
**[10:26] ---**
*Ninomiya-san won't hesitate
to target him.*
**[10:33] ---**
*Looks like Hyuse won't make it to us.*
**[10:36] ---**
*Kuga! Chika!*
**[10:38] ---**
*Let's head toward Hyuse!*
*Regroup with me first!*
**[10:41] ---**
Roger. Should I use Bagworm too?
**[10:44] ---**
Right, good call...
**[10:53] ---**
*Bombs!*
**[11:01] ---**
A heavy bombing right off the bat!
**[11:03] ---**
Captain Ninomiya's Salamander
started off the battle!
**[11:07] ---**
- Ninomiya-san?
- *Probably.*
**[11:10] ---**
So Ninomiya-san's there.
**[11:12] ---**
Who is he targeting?
**[11:21] ---**
*It's Kuga-kun and Amatori-san.*
**[11:23] ---**
- *Should I pursue?*
- Of course.
**[11:27] ---**
We'll confirm if Amatori can shoot.
**[11:30] ---**
Tsuji, take on Kuga.
**[11:32] ---**
Inukai, dominate the east side.
**[11:35] ---**
Tsuji here. Roger.
**[11:37] ---**
Inukai here. Roger.
**[11:44] ---**
*Ninomiya Squad pursues Tamakoma!*
*What will Tamakoma do?!*
**[11:52] ---**
*Chika!*
**[11:54] ---**
Can you fire back with Hound?
**[11:56] ---**
*Lead Bullet won't work!*
**[11:58] ---**
*You need to use Sub-Triggers*
*to bolster your shields!*
**[12:16] ---**
Y...Yeah.
**[12:18] ---**
I can do it.
**[12:24] ---**
Okay, Chika. One shot.
**[12:28] ---**
Just one blast of Hound
will stall Ninomiya Squad.
**[12:32] ---**
We can escape with Bagworm.
**[12:34] ---**
They'll keep pursuing us
if they think you won't shoot back.
**[12:39] ---**
How's that, Osamu?
**[12:42] ---**
*A shoot-out may be premature...*
**[12:45] ---**
*I want her to regroup with Hyuse*
*and shoot as she practiced.*
**[12:54] ---**
Alright!
**[12:56] ---**
*One shot, then fall back!*
**[13:00] ---**
Hound!
**[13:20] ---**
*What a gigantic Hound...*
**[13:22] ---**
I found Amatori-chan.
**[13:25] ---**
Good. Luck's on our side.
**[13:28] ---**
While the two are blasting each other...
**[13:36] ---**
We'll get points from the guys up here!
**[13:39] ---**
Roger that!
**[13:41] ---**
While a fierce firefight
unfolds in the west,
**[13:44] ---**
a showdown in the east
is also looking likely!
**[13:47] ---**
Will the Yuba Squad duo
clash with Hyuse?
**[13:50] ---**
Or with Ikoma Squad Minamisawa?
**[13:53] ---**
Ninomiya Squad Inukai
and Ikoma Squad Mizukami
**[13:57] ---**
are likely to take on this battle too!
**[13:59] ---**
Whoa! So many of them
are coming my way!
**[14:03] ---**
*Dang! I might be super popular!*
**[14:06] ---**
*"Kai is popular." Copy.*
**[14:07] ---**
Kai, don't charge in like last time!
**[14:11] ---**
*Don't worry, Mario* senpai*!*
**[14:13] ---**
I mean it!
**[14:14] ---**
Captain Ikoma and Oki
are closing in from the south.
**[14:18] ---**
In the west, the Tamakoma duo flees
from Ninomiya with Bagworm,
**[14:23] ---**
avoiding a head-on firefight.
**[14:25] ---**
Amatoriciana shot normal bullets.
So she can shoot now?
**[14:30] ---**
But avoiding shoot-outs must mean
they still have issues.
**[14:35] ---**
They just chose to regroup first.
**[14:38] ---**
Once they're together,
Chika's Meteor will blast everything.
**[14:44] ---**
They kicked me out two days ago...
**[14:47] ---**
*We can't show this*
*to the commentator.*
**[14:50] ---**
*Sorry, Konami.*
**[14:51] ---**
*Why can Yotaro stay?!*
**[14:54] ---**
But I think that's their plan!
**[14:56] ---**
That story is so sad...
**[15:04] ---**
She's not shooting at us.
**[15:05] ---**
*They're off the radar.
They likely fled.*
**[15:08] ---**
*Or they could be lying in wait.*
**[15:11] ---**
We still can't determine
if she can shoot or not.
**[15:15] ---**
Is the Tamakoma trio planning to regroup
so they can head toward Hyuse?
**[15:21] ---**
They're slowing down
since they're hiding while moving.
**[15:25] ---**
*I bet Kuga's gonna block my shots*
*at this distance.*
**[15:29] ---**
*I hope they split up.*
**[15:32] ---**
*On the east side, Hyuse and Yuba Squad
are about to clash!*
**[15:37] ---**
Since Hyuse is alone,
**[15:38] ---**
he may choose to hide
and try to regroup.
**[15:43] ---**
Agent Kurauchi was right!
**[15:45] ---**
He activated Bagworm
and vanished from the radar!
**[15:49] ---**
*- Hm? We're missing one.*
*- Hey, Oki.*
**[15:52] ---**
Okay, okay.
**[15:54] ---**
I caught a glimpse.
**[15:55] ---**
*I saw blue, so Tamakoma.
Looks like Hyuse's physique.*
**[16:00] ---**
*He's cutting south to avoid Yuba Squad.*
**[16:02] ---**
"Hyuse headed south." Copy.
**[16:05] ---**
I'll block his way over here.
**[16:08] ---**
I'll catch up from behind!
**[16:10] ---**
Ikoma Squad is moving
to encircle the vanished Hyuse!
**[16:18] ---**
*Hyuse-kun, you're being read.*
*A Sniper may have spotted you.*
**[16:22] ---**
Seems so.
**[16:25] ---**
*Was it Ikoma or Yuba Squad that saw me?*
**[16:28] ---**
Obishima, tell me who disappeared.
**[16:31] ---**
Yes.
**[16:33] ---**
*If they're not using Bagworm*
*for an ambush,*
**[16:37] ---**
*they're trying to head west to regroup.*
**[16:39] ---**
*Meaning...*
**[16:42] ---**
It's either Hyuse *senpai,*
Inukai *senpai,* or Tsuji *senpai!*
**[16:47] ---**
Okay. Good answer.
**[16:50] ---**
Any of them escaping
would make things bad.
**[16:53] ---**
We're gonna take 'em down quick!
**[16:56] ---**
Yessir!
**[16:57] ---**
Agent Hyuse is slowing down!
**[16:59] ---**
He's surrounded by Ikoma and Yuba Squad!
**[17:02] ---**
That idiot! He should've
used Bagworm from the start.
**[17:07] ---**
Not sure about that.
**[17:09] ---**
You can't go Full Defense
with the Bagworm on.
**[17:12] ---**
And with this many Snipers,
moving in stealth requires caution.
**[17:18] ---**
His location was terrible.
**[17:20] ---**
Right.
**[17:21] ---**
Either way, regrouping
was gonna be hard for him.
**[17:26] ---**
The trio with the Sniper is Ikoma Squad.
**[17:29] ---**
The duo must be Yuba Squad,
and the solo one's Inukai *senpai.*
**[17:34] ---**
Ikoma Squad's move
is leading the others to me.
**[17:38] ---**
I'll defeat a foe in the south
and make my way out.
**[17:41] ---**
*Got it.*
**[17:43] ---**
He's heading your way, Iko-san.
One block to the west.
**[17:46] ---**
"One block west." Copy.
**[17:49] ---**
Hyuse-kun, Ikoma Squad 40m away!
**[17:51] ---**
Kogetsu: Whirlwind.
**[17:59] ---**
Ugh, he knows I have an Ibis.
**[18:02] ---**
I found Hyuse.
**[18:08] ---**
*From behind too!*
**[18:10] ---**
Watch out!
**[18:26] ---**
*Obishima-chan's off the radar!*
**[18:33] ---**
*Ikoma and Yuba Squad strike hard!*
*Hyuse is withstanding!*
**[18:38] ---**
How is he not dead yet?
**[18:41] ---**
Still, he's in grave danger!
Can Hyuse get away in one piece?!
**[18:46] ---**
Osamu-kun!
**[18:47] ---**
Kuga! Chika!
**[18:49] ---**
This is bad. Should we go save Hyuse?
**[18:53] ---**
No. We won't make it in time.
**[18:56] ---**
We'll back him up from here!
**[18:58] ---**
You two, go up
to the top of this apartment.
**[19:02] ---**
Give Hyuse an escape route by sniping!
**[19:05] ---**
Okay. But if we fire,
Ninomiya-san's gonna notice us.
**[19:09] ---**
I know. So we have to be quick.
**[19:12] ---**
Before they reach us,
we'll save Hyuse with one shot
**[19:16] ---**
and regroup with him.
**[19:18] ---**
We'll combine his trump card
and Chika's Lead Bullet
**[19:22] ---**
to bust open the siege!
**[19:25] ---**
I'll monitor Ninomiya-san.
**[19:28] ---**
I've set up dummy wire zones
in this area.
**[19:31] ---**
That should buy some time.
**[19:34] ---**
Can you do it, Chika?
**[19:35] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:42] ---**
*The Tamakoma duo*
*met up with Mikumo-kun.*
**[20:19] ---**
*I reach out my hand
And yours is waiting from above*
**[20:24] ---**
*I'm sure I knew before that touch*
**[20:27] ---**
*Now I've felt your big, strong grasp*
**[20:31] ---**
*My dream where I grab the stars at night
Is getting oddly realistic*
**[20:36] ---**
*Before I remember what I failed to say,*
**[20:40] ---**
*You're already swimming in the next sky*
**[20:43] ---**
*Melting in an enviously brilliant
And clear yet lonely color,*
**[20:49] ---**
*Everything is reflected*
**[20:52] ---**
*Onto your little but big eyes
That are secretly burning*
**[21:00] ---**
*Do you still think
That scenery is beautiful?*
**[21:06] ---**
*It's okay if your reasons
Motivate you to live on*
**[21:14] ---**
*Even if you've forgotten
Whose words they are*
**[21:18] ---**
*Even if you're still stuck in the "Why?"*
**[21:25] ---**
*This place is for us
For us*
**[21:37] ---**
B-Rank Wars Round 8
has finally started!
**[21:41] ---**
The season's Final Round.
**[21:43] ---**
I'm gonna comment with all my might!
**[21:45] ---**
*Go! Get them!*
**[21:46] ---**
I'm worried. Just don't say
anything that will hinder Osamu.
**[21:51] ---**
- Of course I won't!
- Fine then.
**[21:54] ---**
Don't forget to root for them!
**[21:57] ---**
I'll be spectating.
**[21:59] ---**
They have Hyuse,
so they'll get by.
**[22:02] ---**
I hope so, but...
**[22:03] ---**
They're up against Ninomiya,
Ikoma and Yuba Squad.
**[22:04] ---**
*No. 1 Ninomiya Squad,*
*No. 4 Ikoma Squad, No. 7 Yuba Squad*
**[22:07] ---**
They're fairly adequate foes.
**[22:09] ---**
No. They're formidable
and extraordinary.
**[22:13] ---**
Okay, they're "quite" adequate.
**[22:15] ---**
Oh, remember when
I took over dinner duty for you?
**[22:19] ---**
- Did that happen?
- It did!
**[22:21] ---**
Did you give proper support
to Osamu's team?
**[22:25] ---**
- I helped them prep for Ninomiya-san.
- That's the thing!
**[22:29] ---**
I get that you're skillful enough
to be Ninomiya-san's stand-in.
**[22:34] ---**
But...
**[22:36] ---**
Did you need to change outfits?
What was that?!
**[22:39] ---**
There's a strategic reason for that.
**[22:43] ---**
Huh? Really?
**[22:44] ---**
Sorry, I lied.
**[22:46] ---**
Why you...
**[22:50] ---**
I kept it a secret, but...
**[22:52] ---**
I just wanted you
to see me in a new outfit.
**[22:56] ---**
You're lying, aren't you?
**[22:58] ---**
You think I'm gullible enough
to buy that?
**[23:02] ---**
Stop messing with me!
**[23:10] ---**
Wait... You mean it?
**[23:13] ---**
Sorry...
**[23:15] ---**
I lied.
**[23:16] ---**
Argh!
**[23:19] ---**
**[23:21] ---**

**[00:12] ---**
Just four more points.
**[00:14] ---**
Let's win this Final Round!
**[00:17] ---**
These are their positions.
**[00:19] ---**
Will they first try to regroup
with the isolated?
**[00:23] ---**
But Tamakoma's rookie
is in a worse position.
**[00:32] ---**
Can Hyuse get away in one piece?!
**[00:36] ---**
We'll combine his trump card
and Chika's Lead Bullet
**[00:39] ---**
to bust open the siege!
**[00:43] ---**
Can you do it, Chika?
**[00:45] ---**
Yeah.
**[00:51] ---**
Ah, okay.
**[00:53] ---**
I see what's going down.
**[00:55] ---**
I'm not popular, Hyuse-chan is.
**[00:57] ---**
"Kai isn't popular." Copy.
**[01:01] ---**
*No need to copy that.*
**[01:03] ---**
Inukai's coming up behind Iko-san.
**[01:06] ---**
Don't let him profit from this skirmish.
**[01:09] ---**
"Inukai from behind." Copy.
**[01:23] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose*
*what's most precious to me*
**[01:27] ---**
*They slip through my fingers*
*by way of cruel fate*
**[01:32] ---**
*More means of reclaiming*
*our stolen time and hearts*
**[01:36] ---**
*I know that's what*
*we're painfully lacking*
**[01:40] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror*
*The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[01:45] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[01:49] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass*
*A bullet should pierce through*
**[01:53] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[01:57] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[02:01] ---**
*The hopes of thousands*
*are on my shoulders*
**[02:06] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[02:10] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[02:15] ---**
*The yearning that connects*
*our past and present*
**[02:22] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[02:28] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,*
*the light radiates brightly*
**[02:44] ---**
*Melee*
**[03:20] ---**
Yuba-san's scary!
**[03:22] ---**
*It seems his squad's after Hyuse.*
**[03:25] ---**
*How about a pincer attack?*
**[03:27] ---**
*I don't like multiple squads
surrounding one guy.*
**[03:35] ---**
Eight agents from four teams
are in melee in the east.
**[03:39] ---**
Surrounded, Agent Hyuse received damage.
**[03:42] ---**
Mizucoming is
controlling the situation there
**[03:45] ---**
by using bullets and positioning
to push Hyuston to the center.
**[03:50] ---**
Knowing that plan, Agent Inukai
is also locking Agent Hyuse in.
**[03:56] ---**
I see.
**[03:57] ---**
We saw how Agent Hyuse
dominated Round 7.
**[04:01] ---**
They may want to ensure
his dropout first.
**[04:04] ---**
I don't think
he'll go down easy though.
**[04:08] ---**
But things could change
if his allies arrive from the west.
**[04:13] ---**
I think the net around him
won't work so long.
**[04:16] ---**
And the Tamakoma agents in the west
are not joining the melee
**[04:21] ---**
but trying to assist him
by sniping from the southwest.
**[04:25] ---**
Yeah, that's the quickest option.
**[04:28] ---**
But…
**[04:29] ---**
Hm... This isn't looking good.
**[04:33] ---**
Agent Tonooka is
keeping his eye on that trio.
**[04:37] ---**
As a Sniper
specializing in covert operations,
**[04:40] ---**
he never misses his first shot.
**[04:43] ---**
He was third-place
in the latest stalk training.
**[04:47] ---**
You even looked at that data?
**[04:50] ---**
You're amazing, Kuracchi!
**[04:52] ---**
Considering how he moves,
**[04:54] ---**
I guess Yuba-san might've told him
to mark Amatoriciana.
**[04:59] ---**
Her shield can even block an Ibis shot,
**[05:02] ---**
so he may be waiting
for the moment she attacks.
**[05:07] ---**
Amatori-chan's on the rooftop
in the southwest.
**[05:10] ---**
I'll shoot her
if she goes into attack mode.
**[05:14] ---**
*Copy that!*
**[05:15] ---**
*Stay vigilant, Tonooka!*
**[05:17] ---**
*Moving in stealth, are they
using her Lead Bullets or cannon fire?*
**[05:23] ---**
*Or Kuga-kun may be approaching.*
**[05:26] ---**
*Ninomiya-san's area is oddly quiet.*
**[05:29] ---**
Watch out for fire
from the west or south.
**[05:33] ---**
*Stay out of their lines!*
**[05:35] ---**
*"Fire from the west
or the south." Copy.*
**[05:38] ---**
Gosh. Osamu-kun,
they're wary of our sniping.
**[05:41] ---**
No line of fire.
**[05:44] ---**
*Darn, there's no time.*
**[05:47] ---**
*Hyuse!*
**[05:48] ---**
*I'll have Chika shoot the Ibis,
so use the chaos to…*
**[05:52] ---**
*No.*
**[05:56] ---**
*Use Meteor.*
**[05:57] ---**
*Drop one on my position.*
**[06:03] ---**
*I'll survive it if I'm lucky.*
**[06:05] ---**
*Or at least, we can beat
the others around me.*
**[06:08] ---**
*Getting four points would be enough
even if I'm down.*
**[06:15] ---**
*Okay.*
**[06:17] ---**
*Chika!*
**[06:18] ---**
*Meteor doesn't have enough range.*
**[06:21] ---**
*Get as close as possible to fire.*
**[06:23] ---**
*Roger.*
**[06:24] ---**
*Kuga, check the radar
and tell her the target point.*
**[06:28] ---**
*Sure.*
**[06:34] ---**
Aw.
**[06:35] ---**
*That tank's in the way.*
**[06:38] ---**
Huh? Tono, what's wrong?
**[06:40] ---**
*Nothing. I'm fine.*
**[06:49] ---**
Agent Hyuse's leg is damaged.
**[06:52] ---**
Must be tough even for him.
**[06:54] ---**
*Shiori-chan,
put a mark on where I'm staring at.*
**[06:58] ---**
*Okay.*
**[07:02] ---**
Target confirmed.
**[07:04] ---**
Meteor!
**[07:07] ---**
Meteor?!
**[07:09] ---**
They're attacking Hyuston, too?!
**[07:12] ---**
*Yuba-san!*
**[07:14] ---**
*Tonooka!*
**[07:18] ---**
*Tono can't see the target*
**[07:20] ---**
*from that position.*
**[07:53] ---**
Chika! Kuga!
**[08:00] ---**
*They survived!
Agent Amatori used her shield.*
**[08:03] ---**
Tamakoma-2 had a close call.
**[08:06] ---**
A Fixed shield!
**[08:08] ---**
She didn't use that in our fight.
**[08:10] ---**
She's improved a lot.
**[08:13] ---**
*That valuable shot by Tonooka*
**[08:15] ---**
*blocked Agent Amatori's bombing.*
**[08:18] ---**
What? That didn't end them?
**[08:20] ---**
For real?
**[08:21] ---**
*Tamakoma-2's plan has failed.*
**[08:24] ---**
*Does it mean Agent Hyuse is doomed?!*
**[08:44] ---**
Chika! Kuga!
**[08:46] ---**
We're fine.
**[08:47] ---**
Chika shielded me.
**[08:50] ---**
Great.
**[08:51] ---**
Okay, we need to move now.
**[08:57] ---**
Why did your Meteor go off?
Did you see anything?
**[09:03] ---**
The cube got shot from behind.
**[09:06] ---**
*From behind?
That means south.*
**[09:10] ---**
Yuba Squad's Sniper must've spotted you.
**[09:13] ---**
I'm sorry, I…
**[09:15] ---**
You acted on my orders.
It's my fault.
**[09:19] ---**
Anyway, you two
are all right thanks to you.
**[09:22] ---**
Our training paid off.
**[09:26] ---**
Good job, Tono.
**[09:28] ---**
What a clever response.
**[09:30] ---**
Nah, I couldn't finish them off anyway.
**[09:34] ---**
I'll pursue Tamakoma
**[09:36] ---**
to find another chance to shoot.
**[09:38] ---**
Kuga, can you go take out
the Sniper in the south?
**[09:42] ---**
Only if he makes one more shot.
**[09:45] ---**
I don't know where he is now.
**[09:47] ---**
You're right.
**[09:49] ---**
*Yuba Squad's Sniper Tonooka* senpai
*seems to be quite cautious.*
**[09:55] ---**
*If I send Kuga to find him,
and he continues to conceal himself,*
**[10:01] ---**
*that'd keep Kuga
from joining the fights.*
**[10:06] ---**
Alright.
**[10:07] ---**
Let's keep going to Hyuse together.
**[10:11] ---**
If their line of fire
from the south gets cut off,
**[10:14] ---**
then Kuga will break away
and hurry to rescue Hyuse.
**[10:19] ---**
Chika and I will conceal ourselves
**[10:22] ---**
and find a spot to give covering fire.
**[10:25] ---**
Be careful not to be
caught by Ninomiya Squad.
**[10:28] ---**
- Got it.
- Roger.
**[10:31] ---**
*This'll take time, but I have no choice.*
**[10:34] ---**
*Hyuse...*
**[10:37] ---**
What was that big thing?
**[10:39] ---**
*Seems Amatori-chan exploded.*
**[10:42] ---**
*Seriously?!*
**[10:43] ---**
And she's still not gone?
**[10:45] ---**
Her Meteor was sniped by Tonooka-kun,
**[10:48] ---**
but with her shield, they're all okay.
**[10:51] ---**
*Yeah, understood.*
**[10:54] ---**
*I should've predicted
that they'd mark Chika.*
**[10:57] ---**
*My prediction was too naive.*
**[11:00] ---**
*Shiori, send me
a detailed map of my area.*
**[11:03] ---**
Roger.
**[11:04] ---**
As I implied earlier,
**[11:06] ---**
being on the inside goes
against you in a scramble like this
**[11:12] ---**
because even skilled agents
can't always watch for all directions.
**[11:17] ---**
In other words, Hyuston is a beast
for enduring even this long.
**[11:24] ---**
But without a leg,
he's in quite a severe state.
**[11:29] ---**
He has to stop
and focus his Trion on defense.
**[11:33] ---**
He has no time to show
his high attacking ability.
**[11:37] ---**
He's too busy with defense
and has no chance to counter.
**[11:41] ---**
There may still be
a chance he can seize.
**[11:45] ---**
The squads around him aren't allies.
**[11:49] ---**
Meaning?
**[11:51] ---**
If Hyuse is beaten here,
the numbers and positions would be
**[11:54] ---**
in favor of Ikoma Squad.
**[11:57] ---**
Yuba Squad wouldn't like that.
**[12:00] ---**
Meanwhile, Inukai *senpai* is
**[12:02] ---**
okay with this situation
until his allies arrive.
**[12:06] ---**
Each of them has their own agenda.
**[12:10] ---**
I think Hyuse is aware of that.
**[12:12] ---**
I see.
**[12:14] ---**
The more damage Agent Hyuse gets,
**[12:17] ---**
the more they think about
what comes after he's gone.
**[12:21] ---**
Yes, that'd be the case.
**[12:24] ---**
By exploiting
that psychological opening,
**[12:27] ---**
could Agent Hyuse
get a chance to survive?
**[12:30] ---**
No. That'll hardly happen.
**[12:35] ---**
Even if they're doing some calculations,
**[12:39] ---**
the top B-Ranks aren't foolish enough
to get distracted and let Hyuston go.
**[12:58] ---**
*Hyuse-chan went there!*
**[13:00] ---**
*Yeah, he's in my sight.*
**[13:02] ---**
You can't run with that leg.
**[13:11] ---**
*Agent Hyuse tried to break the line*
**[13:13] ---**
*but the mid-range fighters jammed in.*
**[13:16] ---**
Now he's surrounded again.
**[13:18] ---**
That loss of mobility's affecting him.
**[13:21] ---**
Ugh, it's so frustrating.
**[13:24] ---**
Don't tease them,
use your secret weapon already.
**[13:29] ---**
"Secret weapon"?
**[13:31] ---**
Do you mean Agent Hyuse
has a secret technique?
**[13:36] ---**
Dunno! I won't tell you!
**[13:38] ---**
I said "secret."
**[13:42] ---**
Karasuma *senpai*,
do you know about it?
**[13:45] ---**
It's Viper.
**[13:49] ---**
*Disguising his bullets as Asteroid...*
**[13:52] ---**
Viper?
**[13:54] ---**
Hyuse is fairly skillful.
**[13:57] ---**
Not as good as Nasu-san,
but his shots trace perfect paths.
**[14:01] ---**
No one can avoid his first shot.
**[14:04] ---**
*Right, with his Trion amount,
that'd be fatal for anyone.*
**[14:10] ---**
*But then, why…*
**[14:13] ---**
*Why not use your secret weapon,
Hyuse-kun?*
**[14:17] ---**
*You have something special, yeah?*
**[14:19] ---**
*Who'd hold it back in the final round?*
**[14:23] ---**
*It might end without you using it.*
**[14:36] ---**
*It's like Yuba Squad's two agents are
sharing Ninomiya-san's Full Attack.*
**[14:41] ---**
*He's using the strategy
against Ninomiya-san to endure.*
**[14:45] ---**
*As to Ikoma Squad, the Attackers charge*
**[14:49] ---**
*with Mizukami* senpai*'s usual backup.*
**[14:52] ---**
*And then…*
**[14:54] ---**
- Whirlwind...
- *Escudo*.
**[15:03] ---**
*Escudo Catapult?!*
**[15:04] ---**
*Captain Ikoma is flying high!*
**[15:07] ---**
*He can activate Escudo with his feet?*
**[15:09] ---**
His chance!
**[15:11] ---**
*Is he bringing down Iko-san
or trying to escape?*
**[15:16] ---**
*I'll break out of the net.*
**[15:19] ---**
Kogetsu.
**[15:27] ---**
An acrobatic Ikoma Whirlwind?!
**[15:29] ---**
What an amazing hit.
**[15:31] ---**
Captain Ikoma prevented
his Escudo Catapult escape.
**[15:36] ---**
*And Agent Hyuse lost his right leg too!*
**[15:39] ---**
*Okay, now I understand.*
**[15:41] ---**
*Given the Escudo's angle
for that big jump,*
**[15:46] ---**
*his destination would've been…*
**[15:49] ---**
It seems Hyuston wanted to use
his secret weapon on Ninomiya-san.
**[15:55] ---**
Was Hyuston in charge
of taking out Ninomiya-san
**[15:59] ---**
in Tamakoma's original plan?
**[16:02] ---**
*Obishima!*
**[16:03] ---**
*Round two will begin
once Hyuse is down!*
**[16:07] ---**
*Roger that!*
**[16:08] ---**
*I'll avoid being surrounded
and distract Ikoma Squad.*
**[16:12] ---**
*Hyuse must've consumed
most of his Trion now.*
**[16:15] ---**
*But stay on guard.*
**[16:17] ---**
*He's not an easy enemy
even when he's dying.*
**[16:20] ---**
*True!*
**[16:24] ---**
*If Hyuse-kun battles
against Ninomiya-san,*
**[16:27] ---**
*I'm sure Ninomiya-san'd win.*
**[16:30] ---**
But I should eliminate
as many risks as possible.
**[16:36] ---**
*Warning. Critical Trion loss.*
**[16:40] ---**
Agent Hyuse's Trion body is cracking.
**[16:43] ---**
It's finally ending.
**[16:45] ---**
Agent Hyuse doesn't have much Trion left
for a counterattack.
**[16:50] ---**
His dropout would cause
a major shift in the match.
**[16:54] ---**
Hyuse-kun's move implied
he wanted to get you two.
**[16:59] ---**
*Tamakoma's other guys
may also be coming to you.*
**[17:02] ---**
*Stay alert just in case.*
**[17:04] ---**
I think Tonooka-kun
shot Tamakoma earlier.
**[17:07] ---**
You'd better move in stealth now.
**[17:10] ---**
Alright.
**[17:12] ---**
Got it.
**[17:13] ---**
Ninomiya-san and Tsuji-kun vanished.
**[17:16] ---**
We can't be easygoing anymore.
**[17:18] ---**
They're gradually closing in.
**[17:21] ---**
Which team will nail Agent Hyuse?
**[17:24] ---**
Probably Ikoma Squad.
**[17:26] ---**
I bet Yuba let them get Hyuston
and beat them while they're distracted.
**[17:31] ---**
Would Yuba-chan really
use that complex tactic?
**[17:35] ---**
It isn't his way.
**[17:37] ---**
It's Kandata's.
**[17:39] ---**
*I'll lure Hyuse* senpai
*into Ikoma Squad's range!*
**[17:43] ---**
*Don't step in too much!*
**[17:49] ---**
*Escudo…from below?!*
**[17:57] ---**
*Launching the cars with Escudo?*
**[18:00] ---**
*Obishima!*
**[18:01] ---**
*I'm okay.*
**[18:02] ---**
*It broke Yuba Squad's formation.*
**[18:04] ---**
*Then…*
**[18:06] ---**
*I'll put pressure on him.*
**[18:14] ---**
Kogetsu: Whirlwind.
**[18:17] ---**
Another Ikoma Whirlwind!
**[18:21] ---**
Full Defense?!
**[18:23] ---**
*That Whirlwind was a feint.*
**[18:25] ---**
Now!
**[18:41] ---**
Viper!
**[18:42] ---**
*Trion body limit exceeded.*
**[18:45] ---**
*Kai!*
**[18:46] ---**
*I know.*
**[18:49] ---**
It's like Nasu-san!
**[18:58] ---**
Took long enough.
**[19:00] ---**
But it ends here.
**[19:03] ---**
*Trion body limit exceeded. Bail out.*
**[19:08] ---**
*Captain Ikoma and then Agent Hyuse
bailed out.*
**[19:12] ---**
*Obishima-chan's there, so...*
**[19:15] ---**
*Yuba-san must be here.*
**[19:19] ---**
*Gee, this is bad.*
**[19:23] ---**
*Caught between Captain Yuba
and Agent Inukai,*
**[19:27] ---**
*Agent Mizukami bailed out too.*
**[19:29] ---**
This point goes to Yuba Squad.
**[19:31] ---**
Captain Yuba's quick shot
snatched the point.
**[19:33] ---**
*3: Tamakoma-2, 4: Ikoma Squad,
7: Yuba Squad*
**[19:34] ---**
Tamakoma-2, Ikoma Squad,
and Yuba Squad got one point each.
**[19:39] ---**
So Agent Hyuse's secret weapon
turned out to be Viper.
**[19:44] ---**
Yup. I was nervous
he'd be down before using it.
**[19:48] ---**
*His secret weapon
was almost what I expected.*
**[19:52] ---**
*Its sharpness was surprising though.*
**[19:55] ---**
*Now I just got to stay alive
until we can regroup.*
**[20:02] ---**
*Only a single point.*
**[20:04] ---**
*But I've done the bare minimum.*
**[20:07] ---**
*No, I have one more thing to do.*
**[20:12] ---**
Hyuse was taken down.
**[20:14] ---**
That couldn't be helped.
**[20:16] ---**
*Hyuse-kun…was brought down.*
**[20:22] ---**
*Like that time.*
**[20:24] ---**
*All because I didn't do well.*
**[20:29] ---**
*Chika, it's Hyuse.*
**[20:32] ---**
Sorry you couldn't shoot
as we practiced.
**[20:36] ---**
*Now I'm dead.*
**[20:39] ---**
*In a real battle,
if you fail to shoot the enemy,*
**[20:43] ---**
*Yuma and Osamu could die.*
**[20:48] ---**
*It happened again…because of me…*
**[20:53] ---**
So Chika,
**[20:55] ---**
*you support Yuma and Osamu.*
**[20:58] ---**
*In my stead.*
**[21:08] ---**
*Humph.*
**[21:10] ---**
*Things are
getting exciting around you...*
**[21:14] ---**
*Tamakoma-2.*
**[21:33] ---**
*I reach out my hand*
*And yours is waiting from above*
**[21:38] ---**
*I'm sure I knew before that touch*
**[21:41] ---**
*Now I've felt your big, strong grasp*
**[21:45] ---**
*My dream where I grab the stars at night*
*Is getting oddly realistic*
**[21:50] ---**
*Before I remember what I failed to say,*
**[21:54] ---**
*You're already swimming in the next sky*
**[21:57] ---**
*Melting in an enviously brilliant*
*And clear yet lonely color,*
**[22:03] ---**
*Everything is reflected*
**[22:06] ---**
*Onto your little but big eyes*
*That are secretly burning*
**[22:14] ---**
*Do you still think*
*That scenery is beautiful?*
**[22:20] ---**
*It's okay if your reasons*
*Motivate you to live on*
**[22:28] ---**
*Even if you've forgotten*
*Whose words they are*
**[22:32] ---**
*Even if you're still stuck in the "Why?"*
**[22:39] ---**
*This place is for us*
*For us*
**[22:51] ---**
Wow, his Viper was so cool.
**[22:54] ---**
Wanna try?
**[22:55] ---**
Okay. Viper!
**[23:00] ---**
It's like a firework!
**[23:01] ---**
**[23:03] ---**

**[00:11] ---**
Kogetsu: Whirlwind.
**[00:15] ---**
Now!
**[00:26] ---**
Took long enough.
**[00:28] ---**
But it ends here.
**[00:36] ---**
*Captain Ikoma and then Agent Hyuse*
*bailed out.*
**[00:41] ---**
*Chika, it's Hyuse.*
**[00:44] ---**
*Now I'm dead.*
**[00:48] ---**
*It happened again…because of me…*
**[00:54] ---**
So Chika,
**[00:56] ---**
*you support Yuma and Osamu.*
**[00:58] ---**
*In my stead.*
**[01:16] ---**
*The more I hope not to lose*
*what's most precious to me*
**[01:20] ---**
*They slip through my fingers*
*by way of cruel fate*
**[01:25] ---**
*More means of reclaiming*
*our stolen time and hearts*
**[01:29] ---**
*I know that's what*
*we're painfully lacking*
**[01:33] ---**
*Dark and lonely, inside a mirror*
*The siren falls on deaf ears*
**[01:38] ---**
*I stood there, watching you depart*
**[01:42] ---**
*Should be weaker than glass*
*A bullet should pierce through*
**[01:47] ---**
*And I pulled the trigger*
**[01:50] ---**
*There's something I need to protect*
**[01:54] ---**
*The hopes of thousands*
*are on my shoulders*
**[01:59] ---**
*I will become the wind*
**[02:04] ---**
*And promise to reach our goal*
**[02:08] ---**
*The yearning that connects*
*our past and present*
**[02:15] ---**
*Illuminates the path to our future*
**[02:21] ---**
*Embracing our overlapping histories,*
*the light radiates brightly*
**[02:36] ---**
Hey, Kyosuke.
**[02:37] ---**
*One-on-One*
**[02:38] ---**
Getting interesting, huh?
**[02:40] ---**
Izumi *senpai*.
You're sitting down here today?
**[02:44] ---**
Yeah. Final matches are special.
**[02:47] ---**
So, how's your mentee doing?
**[02:49] ---**
Losing their key player must sting.
**[02:52] ---**
Who knows?
**[02:54] ---**
He has plenty of backup plans.
I bet he'll get by.
**[02:58] ---**
If anything,
**[03:00] ---**
what worries me is...
**[03:08] ---**
Whoa! I'm in trouble!
**[03:11] ---**
Losing two mates,
Ikoma Squad is now in a bind!
**[03:15] ---**
Will the Yuba Squad duo
pursue Minamisawa?!
**[03:19] ---**
They want to get Kai-kun, but
**[03:21] ---**
they can't let Sumi-kun loose too.
**[03:24] ---**
*We need to score from Minamisawa.*
**[03:27] ---**
*But if Inukai flees, their team*
*will regroup unwounded.*
**[03:31] ---**
It makes me wish Kandata was here.
**[03:35] ---**
Yuba-san!
**[03:36] ---**
I'll take down Minamisawa *senpai*!
**[03:39] ---**
Please pursue Inukai *senpai*!
**[03:44] ---**
Alright! Go, Obishima!
**[03:46] ---**
Remember, your range is superior!
**[03:49] ---**
Roger that!
**[03:50] ---**
Yuba Squad has split up!
**[03:53] ---**
Seems like a bold decision!
**[03:56] ---**
Tamakoma's trio must be
monitoring this move.
**[04:00] ---**
*But Yuba Squad Tonooka*
*is also keeping watch on Tamakoma.*
**[04:05] ---**
*Who Tamakoma chooses to attack*
**[04:07] ---**
*will change the flow of this match.*
**[04:12] ---**
*Distance, 30m!*
**[04:27] ---**
Distance, 20m!
**[04:35] ---**
Agent Inukai is hit by
Captain Yuba's shots!
**[04:38] ---**
Yuba-chan's quicker at close range.
**[04:41] ---**
*I can't handle a shoot-out.*
**[04:43] ---**
*Better run.*
**[04:47] ---**
Agent Inukai is taking cover
to flee from the scene!
**[04:51] ---**
Will Tamakoma attack the other group?
**[04:55] ---**
We'll target Minamisawa *senpai's* group.
**[04:59] ---**
They may trigger your bombs again,
**[05:01] ---**
so you can't use Meteor.
**[05:03] ---**
Use Hound to shake them up.
**[05:05] ---**
Kuga and I will finish them off.
**[05:08] ---**
Okay. Got it!
**[05:13] ---**
*She's alone now.*
**[05:15] ---**
Tamakoma's heading toward Obishima.
**[05:18] ---**
I'll aim from behind.
**[05:20] ---**
*- Got it!*
*- Roger!*
**[05:22] ---**
Hound!
**[05:24] ---**
*I know she wouldn't use Meteor again.*
**[05:28] ---**
*But this time...*
**[05:30] ---**
*I can just shoot her.*
**[05:47] ---**
Gotcha.
**[05:48] ---**
I found him!
**[05:50] ---**
*Sight guided shots, on.*
**[05:52] ---**
Ugh, they got me!
**[05:56] ---**
*She exposed her left flank*
*to narrow down my sniping angle.*
**[06:13] ---**
Darn...
**[06:18] ---**
*Agent Tonooka, Bail out!*
**[06:21] ---**
*Ikoma Squad Oki stole the point!*
**[06:27] ---**
Oh? Did Chika get him?
**[06:29] ---**
*No, it was Ikoma Squad.*
**[06:32] ---**
Phew...
**[06:35] ---**
*No, wrong reaction!*
**[06:39] ---**
*Next time, I'll hit my mark!*
**[06:41] ---**
Okki kept himself concealed quite well.
**[06:44] ---**
Yes. Even better than Tonooka.
**[06:47] ---**
*Was he marking Tono-kun*
*since the Meteor explosion?*
**[06:52] ---**
Losing sight of Tono-kun
would mean trouble.
**[06:55] ---**
So it makes sense.
**[06:57] ---**
Uh, Oki? Why didn't you
use those skills to save us?
**[07:02] ---**
*Well, the others seemed*
*to be wary of my sniping.*
**[07:06] ---**
Kai, you're running toward Kuga-kun.
**[07:10] ---**
*Really? Should I fight Obishima-chan*
*one-on-one instead?*
**[07:15] ---**
*But I only have one arm!*
**[07:17] ---**
Drag her this way.
**[07:19] ---**
I'm heading your way.
**[07:23] ---**
*Hound?*
**[07:26] ---**
*Lure them,*
**[07:28] ---**
*then change course...*
**[07:34] ---**
*No! They're Composite Bullets!*
**[07:41] ---**
Crap, crap.
**[07:43] ---**
Not good. Ninomiya-san is...
**[07:48] ---**
- *Limit exceeded.*
- Huh? For real?
**[07:50] ---**
*What's this?!*
*Agent Tsuji was one step ahead?!*
**[07:58] ---**
One flash of Kogetsu!
Ninomiya Squad got their first point!
**[08:02] ---**
That...
**[08:04] ---**
took me by surprise, personally.
**[08:07] ---**
When using Composite Bullets,
**[08:10] ---**
Captain Ninomiya usually
has an ally to guard him.
**[08:13] ---**
*Okki probably thought so, too.*
**[08:16] ---**
*Ninomiya-san's calm as ever.*
**[08:20] ---**
And on the other side, it's...
**[08:23] ---**
*Yuma!*
**[08:25] ---**
*Tamakoma-2's other ace,*
**[08:28] ---**
*Kuga has run into these two!*
**[08:31] ---**
*Kuga*senpai*!*
**[08:33] ---**
Oh, um...
**[08:35] ---**
Kuga-chan's showing himself...
**[08:38] ---**
So, Mikumo-chan's hiding nearby?
**[08:42] ---**
*He has a point...*
**[08:43] ---**
*If so, it'll be a 2-on-1-on-1!*
**[08:55] ---**
*Tamakoma-2 needs three more points*
*to be the only No. 2!*
**[09:00] ---**
*Kuga takes on Obishima and Minamisawa!*
**[09:10] ---**
Seriously?
**[09:12] ---**
Wasn't that our
"let's cooperate" moment?
**[09:15] ---**
I'm sorry! But we need the point!
**[09:18] ---**
*Oh?! Obishima took out Minamisawa*
*without even looking!*
**[09:23] ---**
Urgh...
**[09:25] ---**
Smart move, Obi-Nyan.
**[09:27] ---**
*Both these squads need points!*
**[09:30] ---**
*This clash could decide their futures!*
**[09:41] ---**
*Agents are dropping out,*
*and the state of battle is shifting!*
**[09:46] ---**
Ikoma Squad was annihilated!
**[09:48] ---**
Now three squads remain!
**[09:51] ---**
*Since Tamakoma-2*
*needs three more points,*
**[09:54] ---**
*losing foes to score from*
*is a huge setback!*
**[09:58] ---**
Could Agent Obishima's decision
**[10:01] ---**
affect that aspect later on as well?
**[10:04] ---**
Yeah, I think so.
**[10:06] ---**
Both Kai-kun and Obi-Nyan probably knew
**[10:09] ---**
that the point-hungry Tamakoma
would interfere.
**[10:12] ---**
Tamakoma splashed onto the scene,
hoping to earn two points.
**[10:18] ---**
Then, Kai-kun tried to stir things up
to cover for his wound.
**[10:22] ---**
But Obi-Nyan kept her cool
and got that point. Great job.
**[10:28] ---**
I see!
**[10:29] ---**
Urgh...
**[10:30] ---**
Does that mean Kuga
should've used Bagworm
**[10:34] ---**
and started off the battle
with a sneak attack?
**[10:38] ---**
That's hard to tell.
**[10:42] ---**
This season, Kuga has shown
his Bagworm ambush several times.
**[10:46] ---**
The other squads would be wary of that.
**[10:50] ---**
Even if he ambushed, the other foe
could've given him damage.
**[10:56] ---**
Though Agent Obishima
ended up scoring a point,
**[11:00] ---**
Yuba Squad is still in a tough spot
without Tonooka.
**[11:04] ---**
*Their actions from now will be pivotal.*
**[11:08] ---**
Without Tono-kun,
Tamakoma's running free.
**[11:11] ---**
Shouldn't you go to Obishima-chan?
**[11:13] ---**
She did her job perfectly.
**[11:16] ---**
So I'm not gonna back out either,
got that?!
**[11:20] ---**
What a scary face, Yuba-san.
**[11:28] ---**
*On your right!*
**[11:38] ---**
Thanks, Tsuji-chan. You saved me.
**[11:41] ---**
Sorry I'm late.
**[11:42] ---**
Agent Tsuji has regrouped!
**[11:44] ---**
Inukai's persistent escape
led to a silver lining!
**[11:48] ---**
Not sure about that.
**[11:50] ---**
Yuba-chan is "the Attacker Killer."
**[11:53] ---**
"The Attacker Killer"?
What's that?
**[11:56] ---**
Yuba-san's fighting style
**[11:58] ---**
is designed to outdo Whirlwind users.
**[12:01] ---**
He based his style off of
Suwa-san's Dual Shotguns.
**[12:06] ---**
Yuba-chan's revolvers
have a range of about 22m or so.
**[12:11] ---**
*20m*
*Kogetsu: Whirlwind Range*
**[12:11] ---**
When Attackers step forward for
Whirlwind, he remains out of reach.
**[12:16] ---**
If he maintains that gap,
**[12:18] ---**
he can shoot the Attackers to bits
one-sidedly.
**[12:22] ---**
On a side note, Ikoma Whirlwind
was created to counter that.
**[12:27] ---**
Wow! So that's the backstory!
**[12:30] ---**
True, Tsuji-chan can't
unload against Yuba-chan.
**[12:34] ---**
*But if they keep defending
to buy time...*
**[12:53] ---**
*Their ace can make a grand entrance.*
**[12:58] ---**
*Ninomiya Squad reunited!*
*Can you get back, Yukari?*
**[13:02] ---**
*I'll try!*
**[13:04] ---**
*My job was to*
*take down Minamisawa*senpai*.*
**[13:07] ---**
*Now, I'll drag Kuga*senpai
*into a clash with Ninomiya Squad!*
**[13:20] ---**
*Mikumo*senpai's *Spider!*
**[13:23] ---**
*I was too focused on Kuga*senpai*!*
**[13:26] ---**
Whoa! In the east battle scene,
**[13:28] ---**
Obishima is caught in
Captain Mikumo's Spider traps!
**[13:32] ---**
He set them where
Yuba Squad would regroup.
**[13:36] ---**
*Now, in the Spider zone,*
**[13:38] ---**
*Kuga is using his high-speed wire moves!*
**[13:51] ---**
Oh? Obishima fired back
with a omnidirectional shot!
**[13:55] ---**
She can't track him,
so she's aiming for a mutual kill.
**[14:00] ---**
But Cougar can ward it off
with a wider shield.
**[14:03] ---**
Maybe she'll break it with Kogetsu?
**[14:06] ---**
*Knowing that all three of*
*Ninomiya Squad are left,*
**[14:10] ---**
*Cougar won't want to take*
*any damage right now.*
**[14:13] ---**
*It'll be tricky to fight back.*
**[14:18] ---**
*The Scorpion projectile!*
**[14:25] ---**
*Grasshopper.*
**[14:36] ---**
*A Scorpion Pinball?!*
**[14:53] ---**
You'll become stronger.
**[14:56] ---**
I guarantee it.
**[14:59] ---**
*Agent Obishima, Bail out!*
**[15:01] ---**
*Tamakoma's ace added a point*
*with a new combo move!*
**[15:06] ---**
*Now Tamakoma has two points to go!*
**[15:08] ---**
*Yuba Squad is down to one agent!*
**[15:11] ---**
He threw a swerving blade
**[15:13] ---**
and created a pinball
with Grasshopper!
**[15:17] ---**
That...was a harsh attack.
**[15:21] ---**
Humph!
**[15:22] ---**
Grasshopper only reflects
physical objects.
**[15:25] ---**
And Trion bullets can neutralize it.
**[15:29] ---**
So she could've shot the Grasshoppers
to dispel them.
**[15:34] ---**
But not many know this.
I can see why she fell for it.
**[15:38] ---**
I bet no one knew that besides you.
**[15:41] ---**
What about the swerving blade?
How does it work?
**[15:46] ---**
I think I know how he did it...
**[15:48] ---**
But let's save that for later.
**[15:51] ---**
*Yuba-san's in quite a pickle.*
**[15:54] ---**
*Captain Yuba, now completely alone,*
*faces Ninomiya Squad three-on-one!*
**[16:00] ---**
I'll corner him with Hornet.
**[16:02] ---**
Finish him when he's worn down.
**[16:04] ---**
Inukai here. Roger.
**[16:05] ---**
Tsuji here. Roger.
**[16:06] ---**
*The B-Rank No.1 team
will attack together!*
**[16:10] ---**
Inukai, did you forget
what you said earlier?
**[16:14] ---**
Tamakoma's running free.
**[16:16] ---**
*Fire!*
**[16:17] ---**
*Meteor!*
**[16:21] ---**
*Bombs from the east.*
**[16:24] ---**
*Hornet.*
**[16:37] ---**
Amatori's Meteor from the east
was intercepted
**[16:40] ---**
by Captain Ninomiya's Composite Bullets!
**[16:44] ---**
No Snipers are left.
She's free to blast away!
**[16:47] ---**
Go! Get them!
**[16:49] ---**
Here's the fun point
about Tamakoma.
**[16:52] ---**
Ossamu had snuck up close
before anyone knew,
**[16:55] ---**
right after Kai-kun went down.
**[16:58] ---**
*Chika! Split the next bullet*
*into 27 segments!*
**[17:01] ---**
*- Wait for my signal!*
*- Okay, got it!*
**[17:05] ---**
More bombs should come.
**[17:07] ---**
*Right. Their foes are in one spot.*
**[17:10] ---**
*If Ninomiya-san is occupied*
*with those bombs...*
**[17:14] ---**
This could get tricky.
**[17:21] ---**
*Inukai. Tsuji.*
**[17:24] ---**
*Deal with the bombs as much as possible.*
**[17:28] ---**
*I'll take down Yuba.*
**[17:34] ---**
*Got it.*
**[17:34] ---**
*Roger.*
**[17:36] ---**
Can this be...a duel between captains?!
**[17:39] ---**
A duel against Yuba-san, huh?
**[17:42] ---**
Ninomiya-san's looking to crush him.
**[17:45] ---**
*Inukai is now dealing with the bombs,*
**[17:47] ---**
*but it should be tough*
*to counter every shot!*
**[17:52] ---**
*Will Captain Yuba accept this duel?*
**[17:54] ---**
*He could make a retreat,*
*using the bombs as cover.*
**[17:58] ---**
It's tough, but I don't think he'll run.
**[18:01] ---**
A three-on-one turned into a duel.
**[18:04] ---**
The situation is much better now.
**[18:07] ---**
And if Yuba-san runs,
Tamakoma would target him.
**[18:11] ---**
I don't think he has a better option.
**[18:15] ---**
*Yuba-san and Ninomiya-san*
*are hard to target.*
**[18:18] ---**
*We should take on Inukai*senpai*.*
**[18:21] ---**
*Here we go, Chika... Fire!*
**[18:23] ---**
*Roger!*
**[18:24] ---**
*The bombs increased.*
**[18:27] ---**
If I miss any, stop them
with your remote shield.
**[18:31] ---**
*I can take about three.*
**[18:40] ---**
Captain Yuba is going in!
**[18:43] ---**
He's using the walls to approach!
**[18:45] ---**
*Yuba needs to fight up close,*
*but clashing head-on is a disadvantage.*
**[18:50] ---**
*However, these explosions will*
*hinder Ninomiya-san's full-attacks.*
**[18:56] ---**
*Okay, Chika.*
*Another shot, then move!*
**[18:59] ---**
*Roger!*
**[19:07] ---**
What? He fired Hound shots way up above?
**[19:11] ---**
*Arching shots to reach over the walls?*
**[19:14] ---**
*No, that's not it.*
**[19:15] ---**
*He'll use the shots' lag time*
**[19:18] ---**
*to fire another shot with one hand.*
**[19:21] ---**
*Meteor!*
**[19:23] ---**
*Even more this time.*
**[19:25] ---**
*Bombs, incoming!*
**[19:26] ---**
*He's going to counter.*
**[19:34] ---**
*Blocked! Was it Tsuji*senpai*?*
**[19:36] ---**
*Mikumo-kun? I expected Kuga-kun.*
**[19:52] ---**
- Planted bullets!
- He knew.
**[19:57] ---**
*Distance, 20m!*
**[19:58] ---**
*Captain Yuba pierced the barrage!*
**[20:00] ---**
*Ninomiya-san's shield expanded*
*for the bombs.*
**[20:04] ---**
*This distance...*
**[20:05] ---**
*is Yuba's range!*
**[20:26] ---**
Just one step away...
**[20:28] ---**
But I win.
**[20:33] ---**
*Trion body limit exceeded.*
**[20:35] ---**
*Bail out.*
**[20:40] ---**
*The duel between captains*
*ended with Ninomiya as the victor!*
**[20:47] ---**
*Only two teams remain!*
**[20:49] ---**
*This will be a three-on-three showdown!*
**[21:10] ---**
*I reach out my hand*
*And yours is waiting from above*
**[21:16] ---**
*I'm sure I knew before that touch*
**[21:19] ---**
*Now I've felt your big, strong grasp*
**[21:22] ---**
*My dream where I grab the stars at night*
*Is getting oddly realistic*
**[21:28] ---**
*Before I remember what I failed to say,*
**[21:31] ---**
*You're already swimming in the next sky*
**[21:34] ---**
*Melting in an enviously brilliant*
*And clear yet lonely color,*
**[21:40] ---**
*Everything is reflected*
**[21:43] ---**
*Onto your little but big eyes*
*That are secretly burning*
**[21:51] ---**
*Do you still think*
*That scenery is beautiful?*
**[21:57] ---**
*It's okay if your reasons*
*Motivate you to live on*
**[22:05] ---**
*Even if you've forgotten*
*Whose words they are*
**[22:09] ---**
*Even if you're still stuck in the "Why?"*
**[22:16] ---**
*This place is for us*
*For us*
**[22:28] ---**
Whoa, Yuba-san was so badass!
**[22:31] ---**
Will those glasses and hairstyle
make me look stronger?
**[22:32] ---**
*Badass Yuba-san*
**[22:36] ---**
You want to be like Yuba-san?
**[22:37] ---**
*Badass Captain Mikumo (Image)*
**[22:38] ---**
Yeah! He's so dignified as a captain.
**[22:41] ---**
And he's admirably strong!
**[22:45] ---**
I know!
**[22:46] ---**
I'll ask Usami *senpai*
to modify my Trion body!
**[22:50] ---**
So you're serious about it, huh?
**[22:52] ---**
Then I'll help you get strong,
just like Yuba-san.
**[22:56] ---**
Wait, what?
**[22:58] ---**
- Aah!
- Come at me!

*Resolution*
**[02:00] ---**
In that one-on-one,
after Captain Yuba survived the barrage,
**[02:04] ---**
even more bullets showered on him.
**[02:09] ---**
I think two groups of Hound bullets
were shot at different heights
**[02:13] ---**
to make one of them drop later.
**[02:17] ---**
He altered Hyuston's delayed shots
from Round 7 for outdoor use.
**[02:23] ---**
Incredible!
**[02:24] ---**
That shows how skilled
Captain Ninomiya is.
**[02:28] ---**
That means his techniques exceeded
Captain Yuba's explosive power?
**[02:34] ---**
Things might've been different
if Obishima-chan were there,
**[02:38] ---**
but by nature Yuba-chan doesn't
refuse a challenge to a duel.
**[02:47] ---**
Now we have no big movements
on the field.
**[02:50] ---**
*Both squads take time
away from each other.*
**[02:56] ---**
*Unlike Tamakoma who moves in stealth,*
**[02:58] ---**
all of Ninomiya Squad's agents
are boldly in the open.
**[03:02] ---**
*Seems they're egging Tamakoma on.*
**[03:13] ---**
*Captain Ninomiya's Meteor
blows some buildings!*
**[03:16] ---**
*That open space may be
to wait for Tamakoma*
**[03:19] ---**
*who needs two more points.*
**[03:22] ---**
*It means he's wary of
Yuma's killer wire moves.*
**[03:26] ---**
But this can make Ninomiya Squad
an easy target
**[03:30] ---**
for Amatori's sniping and bombs.
**[03:33] ---**
I think Ninomiya-san
understands that well.
**[03:37] ---**
*Without other enemies,
Ninomiya Squad*
**[03:40] ---**
*is incredibly cautious
about her shooting.*
**[03:44] ---**
Still, she needs to
cause damage for sure
**[03:47] ---**
since her shot tells them her position.
**[03:50] ---**
As Oji implied, Ninomiya-san probably
**[03:53] ---**
*wants to make her shoot
to find where she is.*
**[03:58] ---**
But it seems Tamakoma has no option
besides her explosive shots.
**[04:04] ---**
What kind of strategies
did they start out with?
**[04:08] ---**
Firefights by Chika and Hyuse
and combo moves by Yuma and Hyuse.
**[04:14] ---**
But Hyuse's already gone.
**[04:16] ---**
So what now?
**[04:20] ---**
Osamu will take on Hyuse's role.
**[04:24] ---**
I'd say that'd be a challenge.
**[04:27] ---**
His Wire Strategy isn't useful
since Ninomiya-san has Meteor.
**[04:31] ---**
Their skills and careers
are just too imbalanced.
**[04:36] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:37] ---**
Osamu knows that better than anyone.
**[04:42] ---**
It seems the deadlock
will persist for a while.
**[04:45] ---**
I wish I had something to drink.
**[04:48] ---**
Until the match gets moving again,
**[04:51] ---**
can I take this time to ask a question?
**[04:54] ---**
Captain Ninomiya is using
very rare Composite Bullets.
**[04:59] ---**
He mixed Hound bullets to create Hornet.
**[05:03] ---**
Yes, Hornet!
**[05:05] ---**
Many of us might've
never seen it before.
**[05:08] ---**
Agent Kurauchi, can you explain?
**[05:11] ---**
Okay, well...
**[05:13] ---**
Before talking about Hornet,
we need to learn about Hound.
**[05:18] ---**
Hound bullets
don't always chase the target.
**[05:22] ---**
You can adjust the strength of
each bullet's homing propensity.
**[05:23] ---**
*Homing Propensity
Weak/Strong/None*
**[05:26] ---**
By using different settings,
**[05:29] ---**
the bullets form a parabola
as we saw earlier.
**[05:34] ---**
If your bullets' homing propensity
are all at max,
**[05:39] ---**
they'd hit a single point all at once.
**[05:42] ---**
Just a focused shield
is enough to block them.
**[05:46] ---**
Changing the homing propensity
to create scattered hits
**[05:51] ---**
is an effective use of Hound.
**[05:54] ---**
Ninomiya-san's firepower is big.
**[05:57] ---**
So Agent Oki didn't use his shield
**[05:59] ---**
but tried to pull in the bullets
and dodge.
**[06:03] ---**
However, stronger homing capability
**[06:06] ---**
allows Hornet to track the target
and curve more sharply than Hound can.
**[06:12] ---**
When Ninomiya-san modifies
Hornet's homing propensity,
**[06:15] ---**
his attack becomes less avoidable,
like when Agent Oki was cornered.
**[06:20] ---**
What scares me
about Ninomiya-san this time
**[06:23] ---**
is that those Composite Bullets
are just bait.
**[06:27] ---**
After surviving Hornet,
Tsuji-chan waits for the kill.
**[06:32] ---**
He uses the Composite Bullets
to manipulate enemies.
**[06:36] ---**
This reminds me of Captain Kako's
commentary in Round 4.
**[06:40] ---**
She said something like that.
**[06:43] ---**
*Those Hounds are designed
to force the opponent to move.*
**[06:49] ---**
He was strong back in A-Rank,
just bulldozing through with firepower.
**[06:55] ---**
But as for team battles,
**[06:57] ---**
I think he's become even tougher
after dropping down to B-Rank.
**[07:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:03] ---**
But it's hard to use Hound
as Captain Ninomiya does.
**[07:08] ---**
So if you want to use it,
**[07:10] ---**
start with finding the best
homing setting for each situation.
**[07:15] ---**
The max homing propensity I mentioned
**[07:19] ---**
can break the enemy's shield
if your Trion amount is superior.
**[07:25] ---**
Right!
**[07:26] ---**
*But if that's the case...*
**[07:29] ---**
If that's the case,
**[07:31] ---**
does that mean Amatori-chan
really can't aim at people?
**[07:36] ---**
How come?
**[07:38] ---**
Think about when she shot at Tonooka.
**[07:42] ---**
If she had concentrated her bullets,
**[07:44] ---**
she could've smashed his shield
to earn a point.
**[07:51] ---**
Maybe some buildings
cut in her line of sight.
**[07:54] ---**
Gee, you wanna play dumb?
**[07:57] ---**
I see.
**[07:59] ---**
I'm feeling rather relieved.
**[08:02] ---**
I thought the failure of her first bomb
would've affected her.
**[08:08] ---**
But now I'm sure
Chika is still willing to fight.
**[08:20] ---**
They're not making a move.
**[08:23] ---**
Trying to run out of time?
**[08:26] ---**
I don't think so.
**[08:28] ---**
I'm sure they'll come.
**[08:32] ---**
We only need to wait.
**[08:37] ---**
I'm in position.
**[08:38] ---**
*Good. And Kuga?*
**[08:40] ---**
Ready when you are.
**[08:43] ---**
Let's start our final showdown.
**[08:59] ---**
Oh, look!
**[09:00] ---**
Both Agent Kuga and Captain Mikumo
get moving to attack.
**[09:05] ---**
*To get two more points
for the Away squads,*
**[09:09] ---**
*will they decide the match?*
**[09:12] ---**
*B-Rank No.1 Ninomiya Squad
is waiting for them.*
**[09:16] ---**
*This will probably be the final clash*
**[09:19] ---**
*in Round 8 of the B-Rank Wars!*
**[09:27] ---**
They're here.
**[09:30] ---**
*To start off,
Agent Kuga threw his Scorpion.*
**[09:33] ---**
*Captain Ninomiya responds
with Asteroid.*
**[09:46] ---**
*Instead of chasing Kuga, Ninomiya Squad*
**[09:48] ---**
*wipes out the hiding spots with Meteor.*
**[09:52] ---**
*That's to stop
Tamakoma's Wire Strategy.*
**[09:58] ---**
*With fewer obstacles,*
**[10:00] ---**
*it gets harder
to approach Ninomiya Squad.*
**[10:07] ---**
Captain Mikumo attacks
from Kuga's opposite side.
**[10:11] ---**
*Targeting Captain Ninomiya?*
**[10:15] ---**
*It's to prevent his Full Attack.*
**[10:18] ---**
Captain Ninomiya's Full Attack
is strong,
**[10:20] ---**
but it makes him defenseless.
**[10:23] ---**
Even Captain Mikumo's firepower
can give him big damage.
**[10:27] ---**
I see.
**[10:28] ---**
But... Can I be honest?
**[10:31] ---**
If Ninomiya Squad aims at
Captain Mikumo now,
**[10:35] ---**
won't he be easily beaten?
**[10:37] ---**
If that's how we see it, then perhaps
**[10:40] ---**
*that's just what Ossamu
wants us to think.*
**[10:44] ---**
*Don't pursue.*
**[10:46] ---**
*Of course.
Amatori-chan must be waiting.*
**[10:50] ---**
Oh, they aren't
going after Captain Mikumo?
**[10:53] ---**
They're wary of
getting lured and sniped.
**[10:56] ---**
Losing any one of them
to take Ossamu down
**[11:00] ---**
isn't worth it to Ninomiya Squad.
**[11:03] ---**
That's rude of you, Oji!
**[11:06] ---**
Then is it reasonable to focus
**[11:09] ---**
on Agent Kuga,
rather than Captain Mikumo?
**[11:12] ---**
It's not that simple either.
**[11:15] ---**
Unlike us watching from here,
**[11:17] ---**
*Ninomiya Squad doesn't
know where Agent Amatori is.*
**[11:22] ---**
*Attack*
**[11:23] ---**
Dealing with those two guys,
**[11:25] ---**
they must watch out for her attack
in all directions.
**[11:26] ---**
*Caution*
**[11:30] ---**
*This means only Ninomiya-san can really
give his full attention to Cougar.*
**[11:37] ---**
And if they spot her position,
things would be easier for them.
**[11:41] ---**
*Caution*
**[11:42] ---**
They'd watch only one direction
**[11:44] ---**
and could devote themselves
more to attack.
**[11:47] ---**
*Attack*
**[11:47] ---**
It'd put Mikumo and Kuga in trouble.
**[11:51] ---**
Surviving an attack from her
would give them a huge advantage.
**[11:56] ---**
*And they want to receive
that crucial attack*
**[12:00] ---**
*when they're all together,
not separated by Mikumo-kun, right?*
**[12:07] ---**
I think so too.
**[12:09] ---**
Their strong card Amatoriciana
**[12:12] ---**
is kept hidden
to keep Ninomiya Squad's mind busy.
**[12:17] ---**
*That's so Ossamu
to make such a plan.*
**[12:20] ---**
But that'd only apply
if Hyuston were still around.
**[12:47] ---**
*Darn it!*
**[12:48] ---**
*Captain Ninomiya's Full Attack strikes!*
**[12:51] ---**
*Kuga suffered big damage.*
**[12:59] ---**
Ossamu isn't a menace to them
like Hyuston would be.
**[13:05] ---**
*Kuga in top form suffered damage
from one attack.*
**[13:09] ---**
*This must be quite tough for Tamakoma.*
**[13:13] ---**
*Ninomiya-san's shots
are getting more accurate.*
**[13:15] ---**
*Kuga won't survive another Full Attack.*
**[13:21] ---**
In the end...
**[13:24] ---**
Amatori can't shoot people?
**[13:27] ---**
If not, then this match is over.
**[13:31] ---**
Her Trion aside,
**[13:34] ---**
nothing can bring us down.
**[13:39] ---**
Sorry we can't grant your request.
**[13:43] ---**
But Osamu will be the one to beat you.
**[13:50] ---**
Unfortunately,
he's far from being a threat to us.
**[13:56] ---**
Yeah? Ninomiya-san...
**[14:04] ---**
You tell the stupidest lies.
**[14:10] ---**
*Thruster, on!*
**[14:26] ---**
A Lead Bullet again.
**[14:28] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:29] ---**
*Meteor.*
**[14:39] ---**
*Chika-chan's okay.*
**[14:40] ---**
*She's using her shield.*
**[14:43] ---**
Go get Amatori.
**[14:45] ---**
Roger.
**[14:46] ---**
Roger.
**[14:49] ---**
Oh!
**[14:49] ---**
Both Inukai and Tsuji
are going after Amatori.
**[14:53] ---**
Their captain stays put.
**[14:55] ---**
Will he take on the Tamakoma duo alone?
**[14:58] ---**
*And how will Tamakoma respond?*
**[15:01] ---**
*That's...*
**[15:03] ---**
*what Osamu wanted,
double-teaming Ninomiya-san.*
**[15:10] ---**
*Chika, defend yourself
with Lead Bullets.*
**[15:13] ---**
*Stop either Inukai* senpai
*or Tsuji* senpai *at least.*
**[15:22] ---**
*Kuga and I will take down Ninomiya-san!*
**[15:28] ---**
She lost a big chance.
**[15:31] ---**
A normal shot from Lightning or Ibis
could've beaten one of them.
**[15:36] ---**
So can she really not shoot people?
**[15:39] ---**
It's Mikumo giving orders.
**[15:42] ---**
Don't blame her.
**[15:44] ---**
*He doesn't have the resolve*
**[15:47] ---**
*to tell her to shoot anyone.*
**[15:52] ---**
*Chika, defend yourself
with Lead Bullets.*
**[16:01] ---**
Their final battle includes
Tamakoma and Ninomiya's two-on-one.
**[16:05] ---**
*They're sticking to Ninomiya.*
**[16:07] ---**
*Is he planning to smash them alone?*
**[16:11] ---**
If Osamu distracts Ninomiya-san
even a little...
**[16:15] ---**
*then Yuma can use the chance
and take him down!*
**[16:19] ---**
*Why did he split up his team now?*
**[16:21] ---**
*I understand he wants to
find Amatoriciana, but...*
**[16:25] ---**
*Yeah, Ninomiya-san likes to accept
a challenge from others.*
**[16:30] ---**
*But his forte isn't only power now.*
**[16:49] ---**
*There it is.*
**[16:50] ---**
*Full Attack.*
**[16:54] ---**
*Whether it's techniques or tactics,
he wins under the enemy's rules.*
**[17:00] ---**
*That's how he fights nowadays.*
**[17:04] ---**
No!
**[17:07] ---**
I was right.
**[17:08] ---**
*Ninomiya Squad is...*
**[17:10] ---**
*Targeting Mikumo-kun.*
**[17:15] ---**
Osamu-kun!
**[17:17] ---**
Now.
**[17:22] ---**
*Tsuji-chan!*
**[17:31] ---**
*It's not a Lead Bullet.*
**[17:39] ---**
*With this timing,
he can't guard himself!*
**[17:54] ---**
*That was close, Ossamu.*
**[17:56] ---**
*A veteran Shooter would've scattered
the bullets at this moment, but...*
**[18:13] ---**
We win.
**[18:21] ---**
*Hound?!*
**[18:32] ---**
*He was hiding Hound?*
**[18:36] ---**
*No, he shot Hound earlier
with the tracking turned off?*
**[18:40] ---**
*He's barely got enough Trion
to scrape by.*
**[18:43] ---**
*He utilized his relative lack of Trion.*
**[19:04] ---**
*Trion supply system damaged.
Bail out.*
**[19:22] ---**
Nice kill.
**[19:24] ---**
Um... Yeah.
**[19:26] ---**
Thank you.
**[19:43] ---**
Ninomiya-san.
**[19:45] ---**
No matter what may happen next,
**[19:47] ---**
the result won't
affect our final rankings.
**[19:50] ---**
*Shall we continue?*
**[19:55] ---**
*No, retreat.*
**[19:58] ---**
Got it.
**[20:00] ---**
*Agent Inukai has voluntarily bailed out!*
**[20:05] ---**
Hooray!
**[20:07] ---**
Now the match is over.
**[20:09] ---**
Round 8 of the B-Rank Wars,
night session for the top groups.
**[20:15] ---**
*Tamakoma-2 is the winner!*
**[20:17] ---**
*Ninomiya Squad: 3pts, Tamakoma-2: 6pts,
Ikoma Squad: 2pts, Yuba Squad: 2pts*
**[20:21] ---**
*Match Over*
**[20:22] ---**
The match...is over?
**[20:25] ---**
It's over. We did it, Osamu.
**[20:28] ---**
That was Inukai *senpai*
who just bailed out.
**[20:31] ---**
And how about Tsuji *senpai*?
**[20:33] ---**
He was shot down by Chika's Ibis.
**[20:38] ---**
She did?!
**[20:41] ---**
I didn't realize.
**[20:44] ---**
I see, so Chika was...
**[20:51] ---**
Chika-chan.
**[20:52] ---**
How're you feeling? Are you okay?
**[20:55] ---**
I think I'm okay.
**[20:58] ---**
Chika.
**[21:00] ---**
Great job.
**[21:08] ---**
Phew. We're back.
**[21:09] ---**
Yuma-kun, Osamu-kun,
nice work!
**[21:12] ---**
You too.
**[21:21] ---**
Your backup plan worked well.
**[21:24] ---**
I still can't believe it.
**[21:30] ---**
Oh.
**[21:33] ---**
Nice.
**[21:45] ---**
*I reach out my hand
And yours is waiting from above*
**[21:50] ---**
*I'm sure I knew before that touch*
**[21:53] ---**
*Now I've felt your big, strong grasp*
**[21:56] ---**
*My dream where I grab the stars at night
Is getting oddly realistic*
**[22:02] ---**
*Before I remember what I failed to say,*
**[22:05] ---**
*You're already swimming in the next sky*
**[22:08] ---**
*Melting in an enviously brilliant
And clear yet lonely color,*
**[22:14] ---**
*Everything is reflected*
**[22:17] ---**
*Onto your little but big eyes
That are secretly burning*
**[22:26] ---**
*Do you still think
That scenery is beautiful?*
**[22:32] ---**
*It's okay if your reasons
Motivate you to live on*
**[22:39] ---**
*Even if you've forgotten
Whose words they are*
**[22:44] ---**
*Even if you're still stuck in the "Why?"*
**[22:51] ---**
*This place is for us
For us*
**[22:56] ---**
**[22:58] ---**
