[00:15] ---
    One day, a Gate from another dimension
    opened in Mikado City and

[00:19] ---
    invaders called Neighbors appeared.
[00:19] ---
    Neighbor
[00:22] ---
    When people thought
    their lives were at stake,

[00:23] ---
    Border
    Border Defense Agency

[00:24] ---
    Border showed up and
    drove off the Neighbors.

[00:28] ---
    Four years later,
    a Border agent, Osamu Mikumo,

[00:31] ---
    meets a mysterious boy, Yuma Kuga,
    who claims himself to be a Neighbor.

[00:36] ---
    Trion soldiers sent by Neighbors
    assaulted Mikado City.

[00:40] ---
    Borrowing Yuma's power,
    Osamu defeated them successfully.

[00:44] ---
    Over the Black Trigger of Yuma which
    repelled the Miwa Squad's assault,

[00:48] ---
    Commander Kido ordered Jin to seize
    his Black Trigger.

[00:54] ---
    But Jin, who used his wit,
[00:56] ---
    got through the situation
    with Branch Director Rindo's help.

[01:01] ---
    Then, to resolve the situation,
    Jin suggested Yuma to join Border.

[01:10] ---
    I thought about it in many ways.
[01:13] ---
    But in a case like this,
    a simple plan is the best.
[01:18] ---
    Yuma, why don't you...
[01:20] ---
    join Border?
[01:22] ---
    Me...?
[01:27] ---
    Please wait, Jin-san!
[01:29] ---
    Letting Kuga join Border means...
[01:31] ---
    Oh, it doesn't mean I'm gonna
    take him to the HQ.
[01:35] ---
    I'm asking him to join our Branch.
[01:44] ---
    Many of our Branch agents have been to
    the Neighbor world,
[01:48] ---
    so they won't make a fuss about
    you coming from there.
[01:52] ---
    Why don't you give it a try and visit us?
[01:56] ---
    Hmm.
[01:59] ---
    It's ok if Osamu and Chika come along.
[02:01] ---
    K... Kuga!
[02:03] ---
    Good. That settles it.
[02:07] ---
    Tamakoma Branch
[02:14] ---
    Okay, here we are.
[02:16] ---
    This is our Border, Tamakoma Branch.
[02:26] ---
    There is a building
    in the middle of the river?
[02:28] ---
    I heard this used to be a facility to
    research the water quality of the river, etc.
[02:33] ---
    And they bought its abandoned building
    to build our base.
[02:37] ---
    Isn't it cool?
[02:39] ---
    Seems like all agents are out
    but some staff are at the base.
[02:45] ---
    Tamakoma Branch agents...
[02:47] ---
    Jin-san's colleagues...
    meaning they're all highly skilled?

[02:51] ---
    - Over here.
    - Y... yes, sir.
[02:55] ---
    Who in the world will be
    the super agents in there?

[03:00] ---
    I'm back.
[03:01] ---
    What?!
[03:07] ---
    Oh, Yotaro. Is anybody else around?
[03:11] ---
    Tamakoma Branch, Child-in-residence
    Yotaro Rindo (5)

[03:14] ---
    Newcomers, huh?
[03:16] ---
    Ouch.
[03:16] ---
    Watch your mouth.
[03:20] ---
    Jin-san, you're back.
[03:24] ---
    Tamakoma Branch, Operator
    Shiori Usami (17)

[03:27] ---
    Shiori Usami, she's our operator.
[03:30] ---
    Eh, what is it?
    You've brought some guests?
[03:33] ---
    Yikes, all the sweets might be gone.
[03:35] ---
    Oh, no. What should I do?
[03:46] ---
    Wh... what is this place?
[03:48] ---
    Is this really a Border base?
[03:55] ---
    Is this a Border base...?
[03:59] ---
    We only have red bean pancakes.
[04:02] ---
    But they're really good,
    so go ahead and try them.
[04:05] ---
    Thank you.
[04:07] ---
    T... thank you...
[04:09] ---
    It sure looks impressive.
[04:25] ---
    Hey, Yotaro.
    You've already had yours.
[04:28] ---
    Don't take me lightly, Shiori-chan.
[04:30] ---
    I can't be satisfied with just one.
[04:36] ---
    Sorry, Munchkin.
[04:38] ---
    I'm interested in
    this so-called red bean pancake.
[04:44] ---
    My pancake...
[04:48] ---
    Here.
[04:49] ---
    You can have mine if you want.
[04:57] ---
    You're cute.
    I don't mind marrying you.
[05:01] ---
    What? Marrying?
[05:03] ---
    If you marry me, you can touch
    Raijin-maru's tummy as much as you want.
[05:09] ---
    Raijin-maru
[05:10] ---
    It feels pretty good.
[05:12] ---
    I'll make him roll and...
[05:27] ---
    If you marry me, you can
    touch him as much as you want.
[05:33] ---
    What is this laid-back atmosphere?
[05:38] ---
    There.
[05:43] ---
    Is this really a Border base?
[05:48] ---
    How should I say... this place has
    a different atmosphere from the HQ.
[05:53] ---
    Really?
[05:55] ---
    Well, because this is a small base
    with only 10 staff.
[06:00] ---
    But to be honest, we're strong.
[06:04] ---
    We only have three Border defense agents
    besides Jin-san.
[06:09] ---
    But they're all competent people
    with A-Rank skills.
[06:12] ---
    Tamakoma Branch is a group of
    a select few, talented people.
[06:17] ---
    All with A-Rank skills...
[06:20] ---
    Do you want to join us, too?
[06:21] ---
    Let's increase the "glasses" population.
[06:23] ---
    Ah...
[06:25] ---
    Excuse me...
[06:27] ---
    Jin-san told us earlier but...
[06:29] ---
    Have you also been to the other world,
    Usami-san?
[06:33] ---
    Yeah, I have.
    Just once though.
[06:35] ---
    So, how is it determined who goes to
    the other world?
[06:42] ---
    The members are chosen by
    a selection test among A-Rank agents.
SIGN    Elite: A-Rank About 30 people
    Main force: B-Rank About 100 people
    Trainees: C-Rank About 400 people

[06:47] ---
    Usually they're selected per team,
    so I just accompanied them.
[06:53] ---
    A-rank agents are really elites, right?
[06:58] ---
    They are even higher than 400 of C-Ranks
    and 100 of B-Ranks.
[07:03] ---
    It's an incredible lineup.
[07:08] ---
    Is Chika trying to
    get to the other world...?

[07:13] ---
    Yo, you three should call your parents and
    stay here tonight.
[07:18] ---
    If you're here,
    HQ's people won't pursue you.
[07:22] ---
    Usami, take care of them.
[07:24] ---
    Roger!
[07:44] ---
    bokura ni sono mirai ga

    And the Gate of our heart opens
[07:58] ---

[07:58] ---
    Always ready to fight
    for the sake of another

[08:01] ---

[08:01] ---
    Our scars will make us stronger
[08:05] ---
    yatto ikite imi wo motte

[08:05] ---
    Live and give each day
    a different color

    And let's paint a rainbow
[08:11] ---

    Stay on the brink and scream
    Let's hope for the next future

[08:17] ---
    girigiri ni Fly again
    ikuzo tsukame Smile Smile Smile

[08:17] ---
    Stay on the brink and fly again
    Let's go grab that smile

[08:25] ---
    To protect that special something,
    I am willing to abandon everything

[08:25] ---
    bokura niwa mamorumono ga aru kara
    sono tame niwa nani wo sutetemo iisa

[08:32] ---
    The sun sails from east to west
[08:32] ---
    higashi kara nishi e noboru taiyo ga
[08:35] ---
    Just to shine on you today
[08:35] ---
    kyou mo kimi wo terasu kara
[08:58] ---
    We have a few staff,
    so there are many spare rooms.
[09:02] ---
    Sometimes, when guests come
    they stay here.
[09:06] ---
    They are good rooms.
    Choose wherever you like.
[09:09] ---
    I don't know which one...
[09:15] ---
    Hmm.
[09:18] ---
    Ah, not that one!
[09:31] ---
    Fried rice crackers
[09:34] ---
    What's all of this?
[09:35] ---
    That's Jin-san's room.
[09:36] ---
    Oh...
[09:37] ---
    Mmmm...
[09:39] ---
    Want some?
[09:40] ---
    Don't eat before dinner.
[09:42] ---
    Oops. He-he.
[09:46] ---
    I'll take this room.
[09:48] ---
    What about you, Osamu-kun?
[09:49] ---
    Anywhere is fine.
[09:50] ---
    Then use the room next to Yuma-kun.
[09:53] ---
    Can Chika-chan use the room next to it?
[09:55] ---
    Yes.
[10:00] ---
    Are you going to be okay by yourself?
[10:02] ---
    If you want, I can stay with you.
    I'll sleep on the couch.
[10:06] ---
    Thank you, but I'll be alright.
[10:16] ---
    Off-duty agents always
    make dinner taking turns.
[10:20] ---
    Today, we were just going to eat
    leftover curry from yesterday...
[10:27] ---
    But it won't be quite enough
    for this many people.
[10:30] ---
    Leave this for tomorrow...
    but what else can I make?
[10:37] ---
    Only cabbage and cucumber...
[10:39] ---
    We have no ingredients for the main dish.
[10:41] ---
    You can count on me.
[10:48] ---
    I see. Fishing, huh?
[10:50] ---
    - I'm counting on you, Yotaro!
    - What?
[10:53] ---
    Catch enough for everyone, at least.
[10:59] ---
    Aren't you going back?
[11:02] ---
    I'm good at fishing, too. I used to
    catch big ones in the other world.
[11:09] ---
    Do you wanna compete with me?
[11:13] ---
    Interesting. Don't cry if you lose.
[11:16] ---
    If you win, you can touch
    Raijin-maru as much as you want.
[11:19] ---
    That doesn't excite me much.
[11:25] ---
    Until they catch some fish,
    let's make salad and cook rice.
[11:30] ---
    - Osamu-kun, can you wash rice?
    - Y... yes.
[11:32] ---
    Then Chika-chan, you can
    help me set the table.
[11:35] ---
    Yes.
[11:37] ---
    That suits you better
    than the Border agent's suit.
[11:43] ---
    Is this... really a Border base?

[12:24] ---
    What?
[12:28] ---
    There's not much to eat.
[12:32] ---
    I was just warming up.
[12:34] ---
    Come back as a bigger fish!
[12:54] ---
    Sorry, Munchkin.
[12:55] ---
    Don't take me lightly. You can't say
    you won with that size.
[13:10] ---
    Here it comes.
[13:13] ---
    This is gonna be a big one.
[13:17] ---
    No need for help.
[13:19] ---
    Don't worry. You get all the credit.
[13:23] ---
    Here we go.
[13:28] ---
    Oh, no!
[13:33] ---
    Come back as a bigger fish.
[13:38] ---
    Sorry.
[13:39] ---
    This is all we caught.
[13:41] ---
    It's my fault.
[13:42] ---
    Don't blame him.
[13:44] ---
    Th... this is...
[13:46] ---
    Don't worry. It's already deactivated.
[13:49] ---
    It's the remains from
    the annihilation plan we had recently.
[13:52] ---
    Okay. I'll cook it
    to the best of my ability.
[13:55] ---
    What?! Is... is it edible?
[13:59] ---
    Of course I'm kidding.
[14:01] ---
    But what am I going to make?
[14:03] ---
    Um, how about mixing rice
    with the leftover curry, then stir fry
[14:07] ---
    and making curry pilaf?
[14:09] ---
    Ah, that sounds good.
[14:18] ---
    Leftover curry is one of
    Raijin-maru's favorites.
[14:24] ---
    What am I going to do?
[14:26] ---
    What's that noise?
[14:28] ---
    This is in synch with
    the security system at the base.
[14:31] ---
    There seems to be
    an intruder inside the building.
[14:55] ---
    Who could that be?
[14:57] ---
    Could it be someone from HQ
    coming after Kuga again?

[15:02] ---
    Where is Jin-san?
[15:03] ---
    No, I can't reach him.
[15:06] ---
    It's coming this way.
[15:12] ---
    It's here.
[15:27] ---
    If something happens, I'll...
[15:29] ---
    Osamu, don't get ahead of yourself.
[15:46] ---
    Pizza delivery!
[15:48] ---
    Here to deliver your pizza.
[15:51] ---
    What?
[15:52] ---
    What? Oh...
[15:54] ---
    I'm sorry. No one answered
    when I rang the doorbell.
[15:57] ---
    Wh... who ordered?
[16:00] ---
    Oh, that'd be me.
[16:01] ---
    "Usami's cooking won't finish."
[16:03] ---
    That's what my Side Effect told me.
[16:10] ---
    Mmm... Looks delicious!
[16:16] ---
    So, this is called pizza?
[16:18] ---
    Whoa, it stretches and stretches.
[16:21] ---
    Ouch!
[16:22] ---
    Watch out, it's hot.
[16:24] ---
    I wish you'd have said that earlier.
[16:29] ---
    What's this?
[16:30] ---
    A spice for adults.
[16:31] ---
    If you use it a lot,
    you'll get a kick out of it.
[16:36] ---
    That's a bit too much!
[16:38] ---
    This place is not like a Border base,
    but it has its own character.

[16:45] ---
    Incoming call
    Rindo

[16:47] ---
    Hello?
[16:48] ---
    Yes.
[16:50] ---
    Okay. I got it.
[16:52] ---
    Our boss is coming back shortly.
[16:55] ---
    Yuma and Four-Eyes,
    he wants to see you.
[17:02] ---
    You did great, Yuma.
[17:05] ---
    May I come in?
[17:06] ---
    I've brought them.
[17:08] ---
    Hey, you're here.
[17:10] ---
    So you're Kuga-san's son.
[17:15] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[17:19] ---
    Likewise.
[17:20] ---
    I heard about you
    from Jin and Mikumo-kun.
[17:23] ---
    My team has no intention
    of capturing you.
[17:26] ---
    But tell me one thing.
[17:29] ---
    You came to see
    your father's friend, right?
[17:32] ---
    Do you know the name of that person?
[17:38] ---
    Soichi Mogami.
[17:40] ---
    The name of the friend my father
    told me was Soichi Mogami.
[17:49] ---
    I see.
[17:50] ---
    I guessed it was Mogami-san.
[17:55] ---
    Soichi Mogami was one of
    the founding members of Border
[17:59] ---
    and a rival to your father.
[18:02] ---
    And he was also
    the master teacher to Jin.
[18:07] ---
    He "was?"
[18:16] ---
    This Black Trigger of Jin is Mogami-san.
[18:20] ---
    Then he...
[18:22] ---
    Mogami-san died five years ago
    and left a Black Trigger behind.
[18:28] ---
    I see.
[18:29] ---
    That Trigger is him.
[18:32] ---
    Kuga...
[18:33] ---
    If Mogami-san were alive,
    he would've protected you from HQ.
[18:39] ---
    I owe him, Kuga-san did a lot for me
    when I was a rookie.
[18:43] ---
    I want to return the favor.
[18:46] ---
    If you join us,
    I can protect you openly.
[18:50] ---
    I can go against HQ without hesitation.
[18:53] ---
    So, why don't you join
    Tamakoma Branch?
[19:01] ---
    I...
[19:12] ---
    I thought it was a good offer
    even to Kuga.
[19:16] ---
    But why did he decline?
[19:21] ---
    Sorry, Jin-san.
[19:23] ---
    You were kind to invite me, but...
[19:25] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[19:27] ---
    You're the one who has to choose.
[19:30] ---
    You should do as you please
    without any regrets.
[19:39] ---
    Enough about that. Tell me your story.
[19:42] ---
    About you and your father's past.
[19:47] ---
    I thought I should tell you this.
[19:51] ---
    The reason Yuma has come to this world.
[19:54] ---
    The reason he's come to this world?
[19:56] ---
    Wasn't it to see his father's friend?
[20:04] ---
    About four years ago,
[20:06] ---
    Yuma and his father, Yugo
    were joining Neighbors' wars.

[20:12] ---
    Enemy soldiers are approaching!
    We are low in simplified Trion guns!
[20:15] ---
    Prepare against gunfire!
[20:17] ---
    Trion soldiers, Banders, confirmed!
[20:26] ---
    The castle gate is destroyed!
    They're coming in!
[20:30] ---
    Trigger controllers are coming!
[20:32] ---
    General soldiers should run!
[20:33] ---
    Run to the fortress!
[20:35] ---
    Don't fight! Just run!
[20:37] ---
    Lead the Trion soldiers this way!
[20:47] ---
    Oh yeah, I got it.
[20:57] ---
    Hey, rookie.
    What were you looking at?
[21:00] ---
    I can manage without your help, Dad.
[21:06] ---
    You caught three Trigger
    controllers at once. Great job, Yugo!
[21:11] ---
    We can use them
    to exchange the prisoners.
[21:14] ---
    We can get our people back!
[21:18] ---
    I caught one of them.
[21:21] ---
    Yeah yeah. Good job, Yuma.
[21:26] ---
    The country's defense team leader and
    Yugo knew each other for a long time.

[21:31] ---
    To return the favor, Yugo and Yuma
    were helping the defense.

[21:41] ---
    I was quite well-trained by my father
[21:44] ---
    so I was pretty useful in battle.
[21:47] ---
    I did well as a rookie.
[21:53] ---
    Everything was going well...
[21:57] ---
    until the day Yugo died.
[22:04] ---
    After this,
    we'll explain about Tamakoma Branch!

[22:07] ---
    WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
[22:09] ---
    I learned a lot about
    Tamakoma Branch today.
[22:12] ---
    Welcome to Tamakoma Branch!
[22:12] ---
    They know some Neighbors are
    good and have a "Let's be friends" policy.
[22:15] ---
    It's an elite squad made up of
    competent members with A-Rank skills.
[22:19] ---
    But there are some things
    veiled in mystery.
[22:21] ---
    They said they have total of 10 people,
    but is Raijin-maru included?
