[00:15] ---
    One day, a Gate from another dimension
    opened in Mikado City and
[00:18] ---
    invaders called Neighbors appeared.
[00:18] ---
    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] ---
    Through various battles, Yuma and Osamu
    are gradually getting to know each other.
[00:41] ---
    Bringing Chika Amatori on board,
    they form a team at Tamakoma.
[00:45] ---
    The three begin their training
    to move up to A-Rank.
[00:49] ---
    Meanwhile, Commander Kido orders the
    Border's top away team
[00:54] ---
    to seize Yuma's Black Trigger
    upon their return.
[00:57] ---
    Immediately, the Border's top team led by
    Tachikawa tries to attack Tamakoma Branch.
[01:03] ---
    But in front of them is Yuichi Jin
    who gets in their way.
[01:09] ---
    I'd appreciate it if you could withdraw.
[01:11] ---
    Tachikawa-san.
[01:12] ---
    I haven't seen you
    this serious for a while.
[01:15] ---
    Fascinating.
[01:17] ---
    Now I want to disprove
    your precognition.
[01:19] ---
    Oh boy. I just knew you were
    gonna say that.
[01:26] ---
    No.1 Attacker, Kei Tachikawa
[01:32] ---
    This is something very obvious but...
[01:35] ---
    Strong agents are those who can properly
[01:37] ---
    
    choose a weapon suited for themselves
[01:40] ---
    and have a good command of it.
[01:46] ---
    So...
[01:49] ---
    From now on we're going
    to begin to do some proper training.
[01:53] ---
    But before that, I'll explain briefly
    about Border's Trigger.
[01:57] ---
    Thank you very much.
[01:59] ---
    All right.
[02:00] ---
    At Border, we basically store
    Triggers inside these holders.
[02:05] ---
    Hmm, hmm.
[02:07] ---
    Now, let's look inside!
[02:18] ---
    There. This is the inside
    of the Trigger holder.
[02:21] ---
    Wow!
[02:23] ---
    These small chips are
    what we call a Trigger.
[02:28] ---
    It decides what outward form
    the user's Trion will take.
[02:34] ---
    You can install up to a total of
    eight types of Triggers
[02:38] ---
    and fight while switching over
    from offense to defense and vice versa.
[02:43] ---
    This side is the main Trigger
    for the dominant hand.
[02:49] ---
    This one is the sub Trigger
    for the opposite hand.
[02:54] ---
    With both hands, you can use
    the two types simultaneously.
[02:57] ---
    Hmm, hmm.
[02:59] ---
    It means you can use it
    in varied combinations.
[03:01] ---
    That's right.
[03:02] ---
    Well, first, let's see from Attacker
    Trigger which Yuma-kun might use.
[03:14] ---
    A lightweight blade often used
    by speedy attackers.
[03:17] ---
    Namely, "Scorpion."
[03:31] ---
    Its blade can be pulled in or out freely
    at all times and it's almost weightless.
[03:45] ---
    The blade can be drawn from places
    other than the hand.
[03:48] ---
    By adjusting Trion, the shape and length
    of the blade can be altered.
[04:00] ---
    In exchange,
    because of its low durability,
[04:03] ---
    it gets broken pretty easily
    if you block with it.
[04:06] ---
    Weak when in defense,
    it's a Trigger for offense.
[04:20] ---
    Next is the most popular all-around
    blade, "Kogetsu, the Crescent Moon."
[04:25] ---
    Unlike Scorpion, it can't pull
    its blade in or out freely.
[04:28] ---
    It weighs quite a bit and its shape
    and length can't be changed.
[04:35] ---
    But it has a high level of balance
    between offense and durability.
[04:41] ---
    Overall it's definitely the top and
    best-made Trigger.
[05:00] ---
    Moreover, by consuming Trion and using
    a special option Trigger,
[05:05] ---
    you can expand its attack momentarily.
[05:20] ---
    Gosh, Jin-san sure is something.
[05:25] ---
    He chooses difficult battlegrounds.
[05:27] ---
    No line of sight at all.

    Just to shine on you today
[07:07] ---
    When the four stay in a cluster,
    it's difficult to kill them off.
[07:11] ---
    What is more, Jin hasn't even shot
    one Fujin, the Wind Blade.
[07:15] ---
    He's trying to save his Trion.
[07:17] ---
    We're losing the initiative.
[07:18] ---
    Where's the sniper of Arashiyama Squad?
[07:21] ---
    Our movement must be spotted...
[07:24] ---
    Kazama-san.
[07:26] ---
    Why not ignore them and go get the Black
    Trigger, at least by our squad members?
[07:28] ---
    A-Rank No.3, Kazama Squad
    Attacker: Shiro Kikuchihara (16)
[07:32] ---
    Kizaki and other agents are at Tamakoma.
[07:34] ---
    It's risky to break up our forces now.
[07:37] ---
    I see.
[07:39] ---
    Roger that.
[07:41] ---
    Miwa, aren't Yoneya and Kodera here yet?
[07:45] ---
    They'll join us soon.
[07:47] ---
    Izumi.
[07:48] ---
    I'm listening.
[07:49] ---
    Me, Kazama Squad, and three snipers
    will launch a full-scale attack on Jin.
[07:54] ---
    You team up with Miwa and
    Yoneya to stop Arashiyama Squad.
[07:58] ---
    Roger.
[08:02] ---
    Tamakoma and Shinoda Squads
    have joined forces.
[08:06] ---
    It means they have two Black Triggers
    and one thirds of HQ agents.
[08:11] ---
    They have surpassed us in power.
[08:16] ---
    Seizing the Black Trigger is
    an increasingly pressing problem.
[08:20] ---
    There is no room for failure, Miwa.
[08:23] ---
    I know that, Kazama-san.
[08:27] ---
    Next, they might come split us up.
[08:30] ---
    In that case, what do we do?
[08:32] ---
    That won't be a problem.
[08:34] ---
    Having your team handle a few of them
    will make it pretty helpful.
[08:39] ---
    It would be nice if Kazama-san goes there,
    but he'll probably come after me.
[08:44] ---
    Miwa Squad will probably play a role in
    holding our squad up.
[08:49] ---
    Miwa senpai has Lead Bullet.
[08:51] ---
    Then isn't it better to pretend that we've
    split up and rope them into our territory?
[08:58] ---
    You might be right.
[08:59] ---
    Let's align with Ken and
    counterattack them.
[09:02] ---
    Hey, they're coming.
[09:05] ---
    Good luck, Arashiyama.
[09:08] ---
    You too, Jin.
[09:15] ---
    Here we go.
[09:32] ---
    Arashiyama Squad, why did you
    join forces with Tamakoma?
[09:37] ---
    Using that Neighbor,
    what is Tamakoma up to?
[09:41] ---
    I honestly don't know
    what Tamakoma is aiming for.
[09:44] ---
    Ask Jin.
[09:45] ---
    What?!
[09:47] ---
    Letting Neighbors in Border is
    unheard of.
[09:50] ---
    There must be a good reason.
[09:53] ---
    Jin isn't a man who would
    do something meaningless.
[09:56] ---
    You're defending a Neighbor
    over such a vague reason?
[10:00] ---
    Getting rid of Neighbors is
    Border's duty!
[10:04] ---
    I know why you despise Neighbors.
[10:09] ---
    I won't tell you to drop the grudge.
[10:12] ---
    Still, there are people who fight
    in a different way from you.
[10:18] ---
    If you're not satisfied, on behalf of Jin,
    we will fight you for as long as we can.
[10:29] ---
    If we are gonna fight,
    let's get on with it.
[10:33] ---
    I should get this over quickly
    and back up Tachikawa-san.
[10:38] ---
    Izumi senpai...
[10:40] ---
    He's in attacking mode.
[10:50] ---
    Just kidding.
[10:53] ---
    I found you, Satori.
[10:55] ---
    Oops! He caught me.
[10:57] ---
    He pretended to go full attack
    but it was full guard!
[10:58] ---
    A-Rank No.5, Arashiyama Squad
    Sniper: Ken Satori (16)
[11:01] ---
    Izumi senpai is always crafty.
[11:04] ---
    Yosuke, get rid of the sniper.
[11:06] ---
    Okay.
[11:07] ---
    Kitora!
[11:08] ---
    I'll back him up.
[11:25] ---
    Hey you miss honor roll.
    Who invited you in?
[11:32] ---
    You're the one who broke the window.
[11:35] ---
    I knew it was you guys
    who were coming after me.
[11:40] ---
    "You knew"?
[11:42] ---
    You were able to see it
    with your Side Effect, huh?
[11:45] ---
    Maybe so.
[11:48] ---
    Well, you gave me no choice.
[11:52] ---
    Shall we fight, Tachikawa-san?
[11:58] ---
    Sure.
[12:03] ---
    It's been a while,
[12:09] ---
    Jin.
SIGN    Yuichi Jin
    Age: 19
    Birthday: April 9
    Height: 179 cm
    Blood type: O
    Zodiac sign: Falco
    Likes: Fried rice crackers,
    girls' butts, pulling strings
SIGN    Yuma Kuga
    Age: 15 (junior high)
    Birthday: Unknown
    Height: 141cm
    Blood type: Unknown
    Zodiac sign: Unknown
    Likes: Japanese food
[12:46] ---
    Narasaka senpai, we can't hit the target.
[12:49] ---
    Just shoot him anyway.
[12:51] ---
    Jin-san's Side Effect is to see the future.
    We can't avoid him dodging it.
[12:57] ---
    Don't try to hit him. Shoot him
    in the aim to limit his movement.
[13:00] ---
    We're going to exceed Jin-san's coping
    ability by a high density of attack.
[13:05] ---
    Phew.
[13:06] ---
    Toma-san, why don't you
    try to shoot a bit too?
[13:11] ---
    I can't shoot knowing that I'll miss.
[13:14] ---
    My pride as a sniper won't let me do it.
[13:17] ---
    "We can't avoid him dodging it?"
[13:19] ---
    This is why you'll always be No.2.
[13:24] ---
    So, I'll just go to Miwa and his team.
[13:27] ---
    I'll leave Jin-san to you guys.
[13:29] ---
    What?
[13:32] ---
    No, it's okay, Narasaka.
[13:35] ---
    Actually, Toma would be more of
    an active piece that way.
[13:38] ---
    But I'd be in trouble
    if you guys leave too.
[13:43] ---
    Yes, sir.
[13:47] ---
    Our battle field has been scattered...
[13:50] ---
    It seems like Jin-san has manipulated us.
    How annoying...
[14:18] ---
    He's retreating further even though
    he's a Black Trigger holder.
[14:21] ---
    He doesn't want to be surrounded by us,
    so that's normal.
[14:24] ---
    Don't charge in.
[14:27] ---
    Alone, a pawn will be devoured.
[14:28] ---
    But what are we gonna do?
[14:30] ---
    If he keeps up,
    we'll get out of the Forbidden Zone.
[14:33] ---
    No, that's not gonna happen.
[14:35] ---
    Jin will never put
    the civilians in danger.
[14:41] ---
    But...
[14:42] ---
    he is certainly being too passive.
[14:45] ---
    What's on your mind, Jin?
[14:50] ---
    Hmm...
[14:54] ---
    Kogetsu.
[14:55] ---
    Scorpion.
[14:58] ---
    Which one should I choose?
[15:03] ---
    But I thought...
[15:04] ---
    there's one more Attacker Trigger, right?
[15:08] ---
    The sword Osamu was using.
[15:10] ---
    Ah.
[15:12] ---
    Raygust, right?
[15:14] ---
    Raygust, unlike the other two,
    is a defensive Trigger.
[15:19] ---
    It can transform the blade like Scorpion,
[15:23] ---
    and instead of the decrease of offense,
[15:24] ---
    there's a shield mode
    that increases durability.
[15:30] ---
    I see.
[15:32] ---
    There's such a feature...?
[15:34] ---
    But it's the heaviest blade of all.
[15:38] ---
    Also, attackers basically like to attack,
[15:41] ---
    so compared to the other two,
    this is much less popular.
[15:45] ---
    But there are some
    skilled Raygust users too.
[15:52] ---
    At our Branch, Reiji-san is one of them.
[15:55] ---
    Oh, Reiji-san is.
[15:58] ---
    Hmm. I see.
[16:01] ---
    Kogetsu is the most popular...
[16:04] ---
    Does that mean No.1 person
    in HQ also uses Kogetsu?
[16:07] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[16:09] ---
    The top person in HQ is Tachikawa-san,
    the Kogetsu user.
[16:13] ---
    He is the one that used to be
    Jin-san's rival.
[16:16] ---
    I see.
[16:18] ---
    Jin-san's rival...!
[16:22] ---
    So, Jin-san and him, who was stronger?
[16:24] ---
    That's probably... Tachikawa-san.
[16:28] ---
    Until a couple of years ago,
    Attacker Trigger had
[16:31] ---
    only one type, Kogetsu.
[16:34] ---
    And in the personal tournaments back then,
    Tachikawa-san and Jin-san,
[16:38] ---
    ranked No.1 and No.2.
[16:53] ---
    But Jin-san said "I could never win
    against Tachikawa-san with Kogetsu"
[16:58] ---
    so with the help of engineers, they made
    a new Trigger, Scorpion.
[17:12] ---
    Wow. So Jin-san made this.
[17:15] ---
    Jin-san went out of his way to make it?!
[17:18] ---
    Since Jin-san started using Scorpion,
    their matches have been tied.
[17:24] ---
    But in the total record,
    Tachikawa-san might have won many more.
[17:34] ---
    What's wrong, Jin?
[17:37] ---
    How come you don't use Fujin?
[17:42] ---
    What are you up to?
[17:47] ---
    They used to be rivals,
    that means they're not now?
[17:51] ---
    Well...
[17:54] ---
    Jin-san became a Black Trigger user.
[17:58] ---
    A Black Trigger...
[18:00] ---
    can normally be used only by the people
    who are compatible with it.
[18:04] ---
    But the Black Trigger
    Jin-san is using now
[18:07] ---
    wasn't too picky.
[18:15] ---
    There were over 20 agents back then
    who could boot the Trigger.
[18:19] ---
    All the candidates scrambled for it,
[18:25] ---
    but Jin-san brought down everyone
    in no time and swept the field.
[18:32] ---
    So him and Tachikawa-san's game
    came to an end.
[18:35] ---
    No.
[18:38] ---
    Tachikawa-san couldn't join the scramble.
[18:43] ---
    The Black Trigger did not pick him.
[18:47] ---
    Oh no!
[18:48] ---
    So,
[18:50] ---
    their game may have not
    come to an end yet.
[19:01] ---
    Why are you so quiet, Jin?
[19:05] ---
    I felt much more pressured before.
[19:17] ---
    He's not really serious
    about fighting with us.
[19:20] ---
    He's just stalling for time.
[19:23] ---
    Tamakoma guys might be freeing
    the Neighbor right now.
[19:27] ---
    No.
[19:28] ---
    Jin is keeping his defense
    utilizing his precognition
[19:32] ---
    and letting us consume
    our Trion for sure.
[19:36] ---
    His aim is to...
[19:38] ---
    make us withdraw for lack of Trion.
[19:43] ---
    Shoot.
[19:45] ---
    I see. So you're trying to
    make us go home.
[19:49] ---
    Letting us go causes less conflict
    with HQ than crushing us.
[19:55] ---
    He's concerned about the aftermath
    during our battle.
[19:59] ---
    He must be very confident.
[20:10] ---
    What are we waiting for?
    Kazama-san and Tachikawa-san too.
[20:16] ---
    So he's waiting for our Trion to run out
    but he's just running around.
[20:21] ---
    I fought against him a few times
    for pre-away training,
[20:25] ---
    but I didn't think
    he was particularly tough.
[20:28] ---
    Especially now, we can hit simultaneously
    and finish him in an instant.
[20:31] ---
    Kazama-san, why don't we ignore him
    and go straight to Tamakoma?
[20:37] ---
    Our target is Tamakoma's Black Trigger.
[20:41] ---
    Even if we chase him, he'll just run.
    It's a waste of time.
[20:46] ---
    I see. A way to stop Jin from
    running around.
[20:51] ---
    It's true that things won't change
    if we continue trying to fight.
[20:56] ---
    Let's go to Tamakoma.
[21:00] ---
    Oh well.
[21:02] ---
    I knew this was gonna happen.
[21:09] ---
    Trion body limit exceeded.
[21:12] ---
    Bail out.
[21:25] ---
    There it is...
[21:27] ---
    Fujin.
[21:46] ---
    You gave me no choice.
[21:49] ---
    Time for Plan B.
[21:55] ---
    After this, Osamu and Kitora will explain
    about Attacker Triggers!
[21:58] ---
    WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
[22:00] ---
    Scorpion, Kogetsu, and Raygust.
[22:00] ---
    About Attacker Triggers
[22:03] ---
    Scorpion, Kogetsu, and Raygust...
[22:05] ---
    Scorpion, Kogetsu, and Raygust...
[22:08] ---
    Got it!
[22:08] ---
    What are you mumbling about?
[22:10] ---
    I'm trying to memorize
    the names of Attacker Triggers.
[22:13] ---
    There are many kinds of Triggers
    and I don't want to get confused.
[22:16] ---
    It's easy.
[22:17] ---
    Scorpions can transform
    by adjusting Trion,
[22:18] ---
    Scorpion
[22:19] ---
    Transform
[22:21] ---
    but its durability is lower
    so it's not best for defense.
[22:23] ---
    Weak defense
[22:24] ---
    Raygust has the shield mode
    that provides high durability,
