[00:21] ---
    The more I hope not to lose
    what's most precious to me
[00:25] ---
    They slip through my fingers
    by way of cruel fate
[00:30] ---
    More means of reclaiming
    our stolen time and hearts
[00:34] ---
    I know that's what
    we're painfully lacking
[00:38] ---
    Dark and lonely, inside a mirror
    The siren falls on deaf ears
[00:43] ---
    I stood there, watching you depart
[00:47] ---
    Should be weaker than glass
    A bullet should pierce through
[00:51] ---
    And I pulled the trigger
[00:55] ---
    There's something I need to protect
[00:59] ---
    The hopes of thousands
    are on my shoulders
[01:04] ---
    I will become the wind
[01:09] ---
    And promise to reach our goal
[01:13] ---
    The yearning that connects
    our past and present
[01:20] ---
    Illuminates the path to our future
[01:26] ---
    Embracing our overlapping histories,
    the light radiates brightly
[01:44] ---
    Resolution
[02:00] ---
    In that one-on-one,
    after Captain Yuba survived the barrage,
[02:04] ---
    even more bullets showered on him.
[02:09] ---
    I think two groups of Hound bullets
    were shot at different heights
[02:13] ---
    to make one of them drop later.
[02:17] ---
    He altered Hyuston's delayed shots
    from Round 7 for outdoor use.
[02:23] ---
    Incredible!
[02:24] ---
    That shows how skilled
    Captain Ninomiya is.
[02:28] ---
    That means his techniques exceeded
    Captain Yuba's explosive power?
[02:34] ---
    Things might've been different
    if Obishima-chan were there,
[02:38] ---
    but by nature Yuba-chan doesn't
    refuse a challenge to a duel.
[02:47] ---
    Now we have no big movements
    on the field.
[02:50] ---
    Both squads take time
    away from each other.
[02:56] ---
    Unlike Tamakoma who moves in stealth,
[02:58] ---
    all of Ninomiya Squad's agents
    are boldly in the open.
[03:02] ---
    Seems they're egging Tamakoma on.
[03:13] ---
    Captain Ninomiya's Meteor
    blows some buildings!
[03:16] ---
    That open space may be
    to wait for Tamakoma
[03:19] ---
    who needs two more points.
[03:22] ---
    It means he's wary of
    Yuma's killer wire moves.
[03:26] ---
    But this can make Ninomiya Squad
    an easy target
[03:30] ---
    for Amatori's sniping and bombs.
[03:33] ---
    I think Ninomiya-san
    understands that well.
[03:37] ---
    Without other enemies,
    Ninomiya Squad
[03:40] ---
    is incredibly cautious
    about her shooting.
[03:44] ---
    Still, she needs to
    cause damage for sure
[03:47] ---
    since her shot tells them her position.
[03:50] ---
    As Oji implied, Ninomiya-san probably
[03:53] ---
    wants to make her shoot
    to find where she is.
[03:58] ---
    But it seems Tamakoma has no option
    besides her explosive shots.
[04:04] ---
    What kind of strategies
    did they start out with?
[04:08] ---
    Firefights by Chika and Hyuse
    and combo moves by Yuma and Hyuse.
[04:14] ---
    But Hyuse's already gone.
[04:16] ---
    So what now?
[04:20] ---
    Osamu will take on Hyuse's role.
[04:24] ---
    I'd say that'd be a challenge.
[04:27] ---
    His Wire Strategy isn't useful
    since Ninomiya-san has Meteor.
[04:31] ---
    Their skills and careers
    are just too imbalanced.
[04:36] ---
    Yeah.
[04:37] ---
    Osamu knows that better than anyone.
[04:42] ---
    It seems the deadlock
    will persist for a while.
[04:45] ---
    I wish I had something to drink.
[04:48] ---
    Until the match gets moving again,
[04:51] ---
    can I take this time to ask a question?
[04:54] ---
    Captain Ninomiya is using
    very rare Composite Bullets.
[04:59] ---
    He mixed Hound bullets to create Hornet.
[05:03] ---
    Yes, Hornet!
[05:05] ---
    Many of us might've
    never seen it before.
[05:08] ---
    Agent Kurauchi, can you explain?
[05:11] ---
    Okay, well...
[05:13] ---
    Before talking about Hornet,
    we need to learn about Hound.
[05:18] ---
    Hound bullets
    don't always chase the target.
[05:22] ---
    You can adjust the strength of
    each bullet's homing propensity.
[05:23] ---
    Homing Propensity
    Weak/Strong/None
[05:26] ---
    By using different settings,
[05:29] ---
    the bullets form a parabola
    as we saw earlier.
[05:34] ---
    If your bullets' homing propensity
    are all at max,
[05:39] ---
    they'd hit a single point all at once.
[05:42] ---
    Just a focused shield
    is enough to block them.
[05:46] ---
    Changing the homing propensity
    to create scattered hits
[05:51] ---
    is an effective use of Hound.
[05:54] ---
    Ninomiya-san's firepower is big.
[05:57] ---
    So Agent Oki didn't use his shield
[05:59] ---
    but tried to pull in the bullets
    and dodge.
[06:03] ---
    However, stronger homing capability
[06:06] ---
    allows Hornet to track the target
    and curve more sharply than Hound can.
[06:12] ---
    When Ninomiya-san modifies
    Hornet's homing propensity,
[06:15] ---
    his attack becomes less avoidable,
    like when Agent Oki was cornered.
[06:20] ---
    What scares me
    about Ninomiya-san this time
[06:23] ---
    is that those Composite Bullets
    are just bait.
[06:27] ---
    After surviving Hornet,
    Tsuji-chan waits for the kill.
[06:32] ---
    He uses the Composite Bullets
    to manipulate enemies.
[06:36] ---
    This reminds me of Captain Kako's
    commentary in Round 4.
[06:40] ---
    She said something like that.
[06:43] ---
    Those Hounds are designed
    to force the opponent to move.
[06:49] ---
    He was strong back in A-Rank,
    just bulldozing through with firepower.
[06:55] ---
    But as for team battles,
[06:57] ---
    I think he's become even tougher
    after dropping down to B-Rank.
[07:02] ---
    Yeah.
[07:03] ---
    But it's hard to use Hound
    as Captain Ninomiya does.
[07:08] ---
    So if you want to use it,
[07:10] ---
    start with finding the best
    homing setting for each situation.
[07:15] ---
    The max homing propensity I mentioned
[07:19] ---
    can break the enemy's shield
    if your Trion amount is superior.
[07:25] ---
    Right!
[07:26] ---
    But if that's the case...
[07:29] ---
    If that's the case,
[07:31] ---
    does that mean Amatori-chan
    really can't aim at people?
[07:36] ---
    How come?
[07:38] ---
    Think about when she shot at Tonooka.
[07:42] ---
    If she had concentrated her bullets,
[07:44] ---
    she could've smashed his shield
    to earn a point.
[07:51] ---
    Maybe some buildings
    cut in her line of sight.
[07:54] ---
    Gee, you wanna play dumb?
[07:57] ---
    I see.
[07:59] ---
    I'm feeling rather relieved.
[08:02] ---
    I thought the failure of her first bomb
    would've affected her.
[08:08] ---
    But now I'm sure
    Chika is still willing to fight.
[08:20] ---
    They're not making a move.
[08:23] ---
    Trying to run out of time?
[08:26] ---
    I don't think so.
[08:28] ---
    I'm sure they'll come.
[08:32] ---
    We only need to wait.
[08:37] ---
    I'm in position.
[08:38] ---
    Good. And Kuga?
[08:40] ---
    Ready when you are.
[08:43] ---
    Let's start our final showdown.
[08:59] ---
    Oh, look!
[09:00] ---
    Both Agent Kuga and Captain Mikumo
    get moving to attack.
[09:05] ---
    To get two more points
    for the Away squads,
[09:09] ---
    will they decide the match?
[09:12] ---
    B-Rank No.1 Ninomiya Squad
    is waiting for them.
[09:16] ---
    This will probably be the final clash
[09:19] ---
    in Round 8 of the B-Rank Wars!
[09:27] ---
    They're here.
[09:30] ---
    To start off,
    Agent Kuga threw his Scorpion.
[09:33] ---
    Captain Ninomiya responds
    with Asteroid.
[09:46] ---
    Instead of chasing Kuga, Ninomiya Squad
[09:48] ---
    wipes out the hiding spots with Meteor.
[09:52] ---
    That's to stop
    Tamakoma's Wire Strategy.
[09:58] ---
    With fewer obstacles,
[10:00] ---
    it gets harder
    to approach Ninomiya Squad.
[10:07] ---
    Captain Mikumo attacks
    from Kuga's opposite side.
[10:11] ---
    Targeting Captain Ninomiya?
[10:15] ---
    It's to prevent his Full Attack.
[10:18] ---
    Captain Ninomiya's Full Attack
    is strong,
[10:20] ---
    but it makes him defenseless.
[10:23] ---
    Even Captain Mikumo's firepower
    can give him big damage.
[10:27] ---
    I see.
[10:28] ---
    But... Can I be honest?
[10:31] ---
    If Ninomiya Squad aims at
    Captain Mikumo now,
[10:35] ---
    won't he be easily beaten?
[10:37] ---
    If that's how we see it, then perhaps
[10:40] ---
    that's just what Ossamu
    wants us to think.
[10:44] ---
    Don't pursue.
[10:46] ---
    Of course.
    Amatori-chan must be waiting.
[10:50] ---
    Oh, they aren't
    going after Captain Mikumo?
[10:53] ---
    They're wary of
    getting lured and sniped.
[10:56] ---
    Losing any one of them
    to take Ossamu down
[11:00] ---
    isn't worth it to Ninomiya Squad.
[11:03] ---
    That's rude of you, Oji!
[11:06] ---
    Then is it reasonable to focus
[11:09] ---
    on Agent Kuga,
    rather than Captain Mikumo?
[11:12] ---
    It's not that simple either.
[11:15] ---
    Unlike us watching from here,
[11:17] ---
    Ninomiya Squad doesn't
    know where Agent Amatori is.
[11:22] ---
    Attack
[11:23] ---
    Dealing with those two guys,
[11:25] ---
    they must watch out for her attack
    in all directions.
[11:26] ---
    Caution
[11:30] ---
    This means only Ninomiya-san can really
    give his full attention to Cougar.
[11:37] ---
    And if they spot her position,
    things would be easier for them.
[11:41] ---
    Caution
[11:42] ---
    They'd watch only one direction
[11:44] ---
    and could devote themselves
    more to attack.
[11:47] ---
    Attack
[11:47] ---
    It'd put Mikumo and Kuga in trouble.
[11:51] ---
    Surviving an attack from her
    would give them a huge advantage.
[11:56] ---
    And they want to receive
    that crucial attack
[12:00] ---
    when they're all together,
    not separated by Mikumo-kun, right?
[12:07] ---
    I think so too.
[12:09] ---
    Their strong card Amatoriciana
[12:12] ---
    is kept hidden
    to keep Ninomiya Squad's mind busy.
[12:17] ---
    That's so Ossamu
    to make such a plan.
[12:20] ---
    But that'd only apply
    if Hyuston were still around.
[12:47] ---
    Darn it!
[12:48] ---
    Captain Ninomiya's Full Attack strikes!
[12:51] ---
    Kuga suffered big damage.
[12:59] ---
    Ossamu isn't a menace to them
    like Hyuston would be.
[13:05] ---
    Kuga in top form suffered damage
    from one attack.
[13:09] ---
    This must be quite tough for Tamakoma.
[13:13] ---
    Ninomiya-san's shots
    are getting more accurate.
[13:15] ---
    Kuga won't survive another Full Attack.
[13:21] ---
    In the end...
[13:24] ---
    Amatori can't shoot people?
[13:27] ---
    If not, then this match is over.
[13:31] ---
    Her Trion aside,
[13:34] ---
    nothing can bring us down.
[13:39] ---
    Sorry we can't grant your request.
[13:43] ---
    But Osamu will be the one to beat you.
[13:50] ---
    Unfortunately,
    he's far from being a threat to us.
[13:56] ---
    Yeah? Ninomiya-san...
[14:04] ---
    You tell the stupidest lies.
[14:10] ---
    Thruster, on!
[14:26] ---
    A Lead Bullet again.
[14:28] ---
    Yeah.
[14:29] ---
    Meteor.
[14:39] ---
    Chika-chan's okay.
[14:40] ---
    She's using her shield.
[14:43] ---
    Go get Amatori.
[14:45] ---
    Roger.
[14:46] ---
    Roger.
[14:49] ---
    Oh!
[14:49] ---
    Both Inukai and Tsuji
    are going after Amatori.
[14:53] ---
    Their captain stays put.
[14:55] ---
    Will he take on the Tamakoma duo alone?
[14:58] ---
    And how will Tamakoma respond?
[15:01] ---
    That's...
[15:03] ---
    what Osamu wanted,
    double-teaming Ninomiya-san.
[15:10] ---
    Chika, defend yourself
    with Lead Bullets.
[15:13] ---
    Stop either Inukai senpai
    or Tsuji senpai at least.
[15:22] ---
    Kuga and I will take down Ninomiya-san!
[15:28] ---
    She lost a big chance.
[15:31] ---
    A normal shot from Lightning or Ibis
    could've beaten one of them.
[15:36] ---
    So can she really not shoot people?
[15:39] ---
    It's Mikumo giving orders.
[15:42] ---
    Don't blame her.
[15:44] ---
    He doesn't have the resolve
[15:47] ---
    to tell her to shoot anyone.
[15:52] ---
    Chika, defend yourself
    with Lead Bullets.
[16:01] ---
    Their final battle includes
    Tamakoma and Ninomiya's two-on-one.
[16:05] ---
    They're sticking to Ninomiya.
[16:07] ---
    Is he planning to smash them alone?
[16:11] ---
    If Osamu distracts Ninomiya-san
    even a little...
[16:15] ---
    then Yuma can use the chance
    and take him down!
[16:19] ---
    Why did he split up his team now?
[16:21] ---
    I understand he wants to
    find Amatoriciana, but...
[16:25] ---
    Yeah, Ninomiya-san likes to accept
    a challenge from others.
[16:30] ---
    But his forte isn't only power now.
[16:49] ---
    There it is.
[16:50] ---
    Full Attack.
[16:54] ---
    Whether it's techniques or tactics,
    he wins under the enemy's rules.
[17:00] ---
    That's how he fights nowadays.
[17:04] ---
    No!
[17:07] ---
    I was right.
[17:08] ---
    Ninomiya Squad is...
[17:10] ---
    Targeting Mikumo-kun.
[17:15] ---
    Osamu-kun!
[17:17] ---
    Now.
[17:22] ---
    Tsuji-chan!
[17:31] ---
    It's not a Lead Bullet.
[17:39] ---
    With this timing,
    he can't guard himself!
[17:54] ---
    That was close, Ossamu.
[17:56] ---
    A veteran Shooter would've scattered
    the bullets at this moment, but...
[18:13] ---
    We win.
[18:21] ---
    Hound?!
[18:32] ---
    He was hiding Hound?
[18:36] ---
    No, he shot Hound earlier
    with the tracking turned off?
[18:40] ---
    He's barely got enough Trion
    to scrape by.
[18:43] ---
    He utilized his relative lack of Trion.
[19:04] ---
    Trion supply system damaged.
    Bail out.
[19:22] ---
    Nice kill.
[19:24] ---
    Um... Yeah.
[19:26] ---
    Thank you.
[19:43] ---
    Ninomiya-san.
[19:45] ---
    No matter what may happen next,
[19:47] ---
    the result won't
    affect our final rankings.
[19:50] ---
    Shall we continue?
[19:55] ---
    No, retreat.
[19:58] ---
    Got it.
[20:00] ---
    Agent Inukai has voluntarily bailed out!
[20:05] ---
    Hooray!
[20:07] ---
    Now the match is over.
[20:09] ---
    Round 8 of the B-Rank Wars,
    night session for the top groups.
[20:15] ---
    Tamakoma-2 is the winner!
[20:17] ---
    Ninomiya Squad: 3pts, Tamakoma-2: 6pts,
    Ikoma Squad: 2pts, Yuba Squad: 2pts
[20:21] ---
    Match Over
[20:22] ---
    The match...is over?
[20:25] ---
    It's over. We did it, Osamu.
[20:28] ---
    That was Inukai senpai
    who just bailed out.
[20:31] ---
    And how about Tsuji senpai?
[20:33] ---
    He was shot down by Chika's Ibis.
[20:38] ---
    She did?!
[20:41] ---
    I didn't realize.
[20:44] ---
    I see, so Chika was...
[20:51] ---
    Chika-chan.
[20:52] ---
    How're you feeling? Are you okay?
[20:55] ---
    I think I'm okay.
[20:58] ---
    Chika.
[21:00] ---
    Great job.
[21:08] ---
    Phew. We're back.
[21:09] ---
    Yuma-kun, Osamu-kun,
    nice work!
[21:12] ---
    You too.
[21:21] ---
    Your backup plan worked well.
[21:24] ---
    I still can't believe it.
[21:30] ---
    Oh.
[21:33] ---
    Nice.
[21:45] ---
    I reach out my hand
    And yours is waiting from above
[21:50] ---
    I'm sure I knew before that touch
[21:53] ---
    Now I've felt your big, strong grasp
[21:56] ---
    My dream where I grab the stars at night
    Is getting oddly realistic
[22:02] ---
    Before I remember what I failed to say,
[22:05] ---
    You're already swimming in the next sky
[22:08] ---
    Melting in an enviously brilliant
    And clear yet lonely color,
[22:14] ---
    Everything is reflected
[22:17] ---
    Onto your little but big eyes
    That are secretly burning
[22:26] ---
    Do you still think
    That scenery is beautiful?
[22:32] ---
    It's okay if your reasons
    Motivate you to live on
[22:39] ---
    Even if you've forgotten
    Whose words they are
[22:44] ---
    Even if you're still stuck in the "Why?"
[22:51] ---
    This place is for us
    For us
[22:56] ---
    
[22:58] ---
