**[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.

*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*
