**[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] ---**

**[08:17] ---**

**[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?*
***SIGN*** *Osamu Mikumo

**[12:21] ---**
Oh!
**[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?
**[22:27] ---**
No. Capybaras should be counted as herds,
so shouldn't be included in people.
**[22:33] ---**
But he can't be just a regular capybara
as he's in Tamakoma Branch.
**[22:38] ---**
That means Raijin-maru is
an A-Rank agent?
**[22:41] ---**
