[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] ---
