[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

    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] ---
