[00:17] ---
    The scene was like a nightmare.
[00:20] ---
    I had never seen so many Gates open
[00:23] ---
    and an overwhelming amount of
    Trion soldiers appeared,

[00:26] ---
    and finally, the battle broke out.
[00:29] ---
    Since meticulous counterplans
    were taken and

[00:32] ---
    somehow because Neighbors
    dispersed their forces they sent,

[00:37] ---
    at first we, Border, and Neighbors,
[00:40] ---
    both our strengths were thought
    to be evenly matched. But...

[00:44] ---
    Rabits that suddenly appeared...
[00:46] ---
    Due to the emergence of these
    unidentified Trion soldiers

[00:48] ---
    which purpose is to
    capture Trigger controllers,

[00:51] ---
    the situation has begun
    to greatly change immediately.

[00:54] ---
    The emergence of the new, strong enemy
    and their inexplicable move...

[00:58] ---
    At this moment, we still didn't know
    what the enemy was really aiming for.

[01:06] ---
    Neighbors are those who inhabit adjacent
    another world called Neighborhood.

[01:08] ---
    Neighbor
[01:12] ---
    Four and half years ago from today.
[01:14] ---
    A Gate to another world was opened
    by those who sought Trion,

[01:18] ---
    and a large-scale invasion took place.
[01:21] ---
    The battle known as
    The First Large-Scale Invasion,

[01:24] ---
    was brought to an end by the action of
    Border Defense Agency, namely Border.

[01:25] ---
    Border
    Border Defense Agency

[01:29] ---
    Since then Border has pressed forward with
    studying "Trigger," a Neighbor technology,

[01:34] ---
    and has been battling them.
[01:38] ---
    And so, four and a half years later
[01:40] ---
    another large-scale Neighbor
    invasion has begun,

[01:44] ---
    the entire area of Mikado City is about
    to be exposed to their attacks.

[01:48] ---
    What will happen to Border,
    Yuma, and Osamu?

[01:51] ---
    Can they stand up to the threat of
    another large-scale invasion?

[01:57] ---
    Now, the fateful battle begins.
[02:06] ---
    The Holy Land, Aftokrator
[02:11] ---
    To the south and southwest, Arashiyama
    Squad and off-duty agents are heading.
[02:16] ---
    Squads engaged in battle should
    prioritize maintaining their forces.
[02:19] ---
    B... but that's...
[02:21] ---
    If we lose forces here, things will be
    more difficult in the future.
[02:27] ---
    I support the HQ Director's judgment.
[02:41] ---
    I don't know who's behind this.
    But they sure know what they're doing.
[02:51] ---
    What's going on? Trion soldiers
    coming this way suddenly increased!
[02:55] ---
    Yuma... this is...
[02:58] ---
    I guess there's no choice
    but to fall into their trap.
[03:03] ---
    Their trap?
[03:04] ---
    The number coming this way multiplied,
[03:06] ---
    because the official agents
    left to deal with Rabits.
[03:11] ---
    We sure can't scatter
    manpower any more than this.
[03:15] ---
    We can't scatter?
[03:17] ---
    Let me paraphrase.
[03:20] ---
    If scattered, Rabits will capture
    the official agents one by one.
[03:25] ---
    In order to avoid that, and we
    concentrate our forces on Rabits,
[03:28] ---
    other Trion soldiers
    will attack the urban area.
[03:31] ---
    And, if we try to
    protect the urban area,
[03:34] ---
    Rabits will threaten us from behind.
[03:37] ---
    By using their numbers
    to their advantage,
[03:39] ---
    they're manipulating us.
[03:42] ---
    We'll play into enemy hands if we
    poorly divide our squads.
[03:45] ---
    I think focusing on
    Rabits is a good decision.
[03:50] ---
    B... but then...
[03:51] ---
    You do understand that with this strategy,
[03:54] ---
    if we take too long with the new type
    the urban area will be destroyed.
[03:55] ---
    HQ Commander, Chief Executive:
    Masamune Kido (42)

[04:00] ---
    I know.
[04:01] ---
    We'll only wait until
    A-Rank agents regroup.
[04:02] ---
    HQ Director:
    Masafumi Shinoda (33)

[04:03] ---
    A-Rank squads will stop the new types.
[04:06] ---
    And all B-Rank squads will head to
    the urban area together.
[04:11] ---
    All... squads?
[04:12] ---
    PR Director:
    Eizo Netsuki (39)

[04:13] ---
    That means the east, west and southwest...
    They can only cover one area at a time?
[04:18] ---
    Exactly.
[04:19] ---
    We'll make sure to eliminate the enemy
    at one area at a time.
[04:22] ---
    Meanwhile, we will have to risk damages
    to other areas to a certain extent.
[04:28] ---
    How will you decide which area to send
    help to and it's order?
[04:31] ---
    HQ R&D Director:
    Motokichi Kinuta (48)

[04:31] ---
    There'll be complaints later.
[04:33] ---
    We'll prioritize areas where
    evacuations aren't progressing.
[04:36] ---
    Any other questions?
[04:38] ---
    What if the A-Rank agents fail
    to stop the new type?
[04:52] ---
    That is not a possibility.
    But in that case...
[04:59] ---
    I'll go myself.
[05:01] ---
    The Forbidden Zone
    HQ East Area

[05:07] ---
    A-Rank No.3, Kazama Squad
[05:08] ---
    Don't let it catch you.
[05:08] ---
    A-Rank No.3, Kazama Squad
    No.2 Attacker: Soya Kazama (21)

[05:09] ---
    Be careful with electric shocks too!
[05:10] ---
    A-Rank No.3, Kazama Squad
    All-Rounder: Ryo Utagawa (16)

[05:11] ---
    Roger!
[05:12] ---
    I won't get caught
    with such simple movements.
[05:13] ---
    A-Rank No.3, Kazama Squad
    Attacker: Shiro Kikuchihara (16)

[05:19] ---
    Gee...
[05:21] ---
    What a pain...
[05:25] ---
    That's right, over here.
[05:42] ---
    Come on, what are you guys doing?
[05:44] ---
    You should've taken it
    down in one blow.
[05:47] ---
    I left myself be the decoy here...
[05:49] ---
    It reacted to our Stealth attack.
[05:52] ---
    I think its ears act as a radar.
[05:55] ---
    It appears they're less sensitive
    than the eyes though.
[05:57] ---
    Kikuchihara.
[05:59] ---
    Which part has thick armor?
[06:02] ---
    Both arms are especially thick.
    Also his head and back.
[06:07] ---
    It'll be tough to chop them off.
[06:10] ---
    We can take it apart from
    the thinnest parts.
[06:14] ---
    First, its ears, legs,
[06:17] ---
    and then stomach.
[06:26] ---
    Gee whiz... someone who can fight
    squarely with Rabits already showed up.
[06:31] ---
    Well, well... That means...
[06:33] ---
    Meeden's progress is impressive it seems.
[06:39] ---
    Don't be intimidated.
[06:41] ---
    They're no big deal.
[06:43] ---
    That Rabit is a basic model,
    right, Ranbanein?
[06:47] ---
    No, that's not always the case, Enedora.
[06:47] ---
    Aftokrator: Ranbanein
[06:51] ---
    They didn't fall for our plan to divide
    them. They look pretty tough to beat.
[06:54] ---
    Aftokrator: Enedora
[06:56] ---
    Should we also strike,
    Captain Hyrein?
[06:57] ---
    Aftokrator: Hyuse
[07:02] ---
    No need to rush, Hyuse.
[07:05] ---
    You guys will go out after we see
    Meeden's limits of strength.
[07:10] ---
    We still have plenty of "eggs."
[07:10] ---
    Aftokrator: Hyrein
[07:14] ---
    Limits of strength?
[07:16] ---
    Meeden hasn't shown
    their full power yet.
[07:21] ---
    Last time, when we disbursed Rads,
    hundreds of soldiers turned up.
[07:27] ---
    Considering that scale,
[07:29] ---
    besides this squad, it can be assumed that
    there are many other skilled individuals.
[07:35] ---
    Hey, hey, hey.
[07:37] ---
    Aren't you being a little too paranoid
    about these Meeden monkeys, Captain?
[07:42] ---
    Watch your mouth Enedora.
[07:45] ---
    You're being disrespectful
    to your senior officer.
[07:46] ---
    Huh?
[07:48] ---
    And who do you think
    you're talking to, small fry?
[07:52] ---
    If you like, I can break
    you first, you know?
[07:57] ---
    Ha ha ha.
[07:59] ---
    Well, well... If you two fight,
    this ship won't last long.
[07:59] ---
    Aftokrator: Viza
[08:04] ---
    I'll say, Councilor Viza.
[08:08] ---
    I'm so irritated!!
    Damn this cramped ship, I'm sick of it!
[08:12] ---
    C'mon, send me out there, Hyrein.
[08:15] ---
    I could kill all of
    the Meeden soldiers by myself.
[08:18] ---
    Annihilation aside,
    it's certainly about time to...
[08:25] ---
    stretch our legs, huh, Big Brother?
[08:29] ---
    I mean, Captain.
[08:32] ---
    Be patient a little longer.
[08:34] ---
    Everyone's turn will come soon.
[08:37] ---
    Mira.
[08:38] ---
    Yes, sir.
[08:40] ---
    Aftokrator: Mira

    Proceeding to the next stage.

[10:19] ---
    The evacuation status of the civilians
    is confirmed.
[10:20] ---
    HQ, Assistant Director:
    Kyoko Sawamura (25)

[10:22] ---
    The most delayed is
    the South area of the urban area.
[10:26] ---
    All B-Rank agents,
    regroup in the South area!
[10:28] ---
    The Trion soldiers that are
    headed to the urban areas,
[10:30] ---
    eliminate them immediately
    with full power!
[10:40] ---
    There's too many of them.
[10:40] ---
    The Forbidden Zone
    HQ Southwest Area

[10:42] ---
    We'd better retreat from here.
[10:43] ---
    But if we let them through here,
[10:45] ---
    they could get to the urban area
    where Chika and the others are!
[10:47] ---
    All B-Rank agents have been ordered
    to gather in the South area.
[10:52] ---
    The plan's been switched to eradicate
    them in one area at a time.
[10:55] ---
    Certainly, isolated B-Rank squads are at
    high risk of being caught by the new type.
[11:00] ---
    One area at a time?
[11:02] ---
    So, during that time,
    what about the other areas?
[11:05] ---
    What will happen to the area
    where Chika and the others are?
[11:07] ---
    As for eliminating Trion soldiers,
[11:09] ---
    the areas not yet evacuated
    will be given priority.
[11:12] ---
    Support for successfully evacuated areas,
[11:14] ---
    like the Southwest area
    where Chika and others are
[11:18] ---
    will probably be left for last.
[11:20] ---
    No way. It means...
[11:22] ---
    Chika, you evacuate with everyone else.
[11:25] ---
    Don't ever go near the Forbidden Zone.
[11:27] ---
    Yeah.
[11:29] ---
    To escape danger, I told her to go
    to the urban area without me.

[11:34] ---
    Did my actions backfire?
[11:50] ---
    The new type Trion soldier?
[11:57] ---
    Shield mode!
[12:05] ---
    Boost. Quinte!
[12:13] ---
    Kuga! You...
[12:15] ---
    Whoa. This one is so solid.
[12:17] ---
    I told you not to use your Black Trigger!
[12:20] ---
    Neither Branch Director Rindo
    nor I will be able to protect you!
[12:23] ---
    But at this rate,
    Chika will be in danger, right?
[12:27] ---
    This isn't the time to hold back.
    We'll finish them at once.
[12:33] ---
    Okay!
[12:36] ---
    I got him.
    I knew he wasn't from Border.
[12:38] ---
    B-Rank No.19, Chano Squad, Captain
    Gunner: Makoto Chano (16)

[12:39] ---
    He's a Humanoid Neighbor!
[12:43] ---
    HQ! This is Chano Squad. We're engaging
    in a battle with a Humanoid Neighbor.
[12:43] ---
    B-Rank No.19, Chano Squad
    Gunner: Itsuki Fujisawa (16)

[12:46] ---
    Hey, Four-Eyes!
    Run away immediately.
[12:48] ---
    What... no...!
[12:49] ---
    I'll shoot him full of holes...
[12:51] ---
    Wait...!
[13:00] ---
    The new type?!
    Oh no!
[13:03] ---
    They'll be eaten!
[13:17] ---
    Target silenced!

[13:21] ---
    Mikumo-kun. Are you all right?
[13:23] ---
    Arashiyama senpai,
    there's a Humanoid Neighbor!
[13:26] ---
    Calm down, Chano.
[13:28] ---
    He's on our side.
[13:30] ---
    On our side?
[13:31] ---
    Thanks for helping me, Tokieda senpai.
[13:32] ---
    A-Rank No.5, Arashiyama Squad
    All-rounder: Mitsuru Tokieda (16)

[13:33] ---
    A-Rank No.5, Arashiyama Squad
    All-rounder: Ai Kitora (15)

[13:34] ---
    Huh? Were you wearing that before?
[13:37] ---
    It's that Black Trigger, senpai.
[13:40] ---
    By the way, did you get permission from
    Commander Kido to use that?
[13:44] ---
    Nope, but this is an emergency.
[13:47] ---
    HQ! This is Arashiyama Squad!
    We eliminated one of the new types.
[13:52] ---
    We'll continue to eradicate Trion soldiers
    while en route to the next target.
[13:58] ---
    HQ?
[14:00] ---
    Cannons...
[14:01] ---
    shoot down...
[14:03] ---
    closing in...
[14:10] ---
    That is...
[14:10] ---
    It's the Bomber Trion Soldier, Ilgar!
[14:13] ---
    Bomber Trion Soldier
    is closing in even more!
[14:16] ---
    Fire all cannons!
[14:24] ---
    One down! Another one closing in!
[14:30] ---
    I remember the transformation was to...
[14:31] ---
    Yeah, it's self-destruct mode.
[14:33] ---
    So instead of bombing, it's purpose is
    to crash in to the base and explode?
[14:37] ---
    Brace for impact!
[14:49] ---
    Is the base... destroyed?
[14:53] ---
    No.
[15:00] ---
    After that breaking the wall
    incident the other day,
[15:03] ---
    it was good to fortify
    the wall armor with extra Trion.
[15:07] ---
    The second wave is on its way!
[15:09] ---
    How's the armor holding up?
[15:11] ---
    I'll make it last for one more impact!
[15:14] ---
    Civilian staff evacuate to shelters!
[15:16] ---
    Divert Trion to interceptor cannons
    until its limit!
[15:19] ---
    Focus cannon fire!
[15:20] ---
    Even a single unit is fine!
    Just make sure it goes down!
[15:23] ---
    But... One won't be enough...!
[15:29] ---
    Confirmed, one has been shot down!
    Two left!
[15:32] ---
    HQ Director Shinoda! I can't guarantee
    the wall will last two hits!
[15:35] ---
    No problem. There will only be...
[15:40] ---
    one left.
[15:52] ---
    A-Rank No.1, Tachikawa Squad
    No.1 Attacker: Kei Tachikawa (20)

[15:54] ---
    Tachikawa!
[15:56] ---
    Whoa!
[15:58] ---
    Another one will crash into us straight!
    Brace for impact!
[16:09] ---
    Any more units?
[16:10] ---
    None, so far!
[16:11] ---
    Good. In the meantime, fix the external
    wall and be aware of the next attack.
[16:16] ---
    I struggled so hard with Ilgar yet,
    he struck it in two with one stroke...
[16:22] ---
    Wow.
[16:24] ---
    Kei!
[16:25] ---
    Your target is the new type,
    eliminate as many as you can.

[16:29] ---
    Roger, Roger.
[16:31] ---
    I'll finish them quick
    and go back to my lunch.
[16:36] ---
    The base is fine!
[16:38] ---
    Tachikawa-san destroyed
    the bomber-type!
[16:40] ---
    Tachikawa-san? You mean
    Jin-san's rival with Kogetsu.
[16:44] ---
    He's A-Rank No.1!
[16:46] ---
    He slashed down Ilgar in
    self-destruct mode?
[16:50] ---
    With a normal Trigger no less.
    That's incredible.
[16:53] ---
    Kuga, even you think that's impressive?
[16:56] ---
    When they're in self-destruct mode,
    they are tougher.
[16:59] ---
    Like the other day, it might be
    much easier to drag them down.
[17:04] ---
    "Like the other day?"
[17:06] ---
    So then, he is the one who saved me...
[17:11] ---
    Arashiyama Squad,
[17:13] ---
    sorry about the bad connection
    with the comms.
[17:16] ---
    So, you took down one of the new types?
[17:18] ---
    Good job, Arashiyama Squad.
[17:21] ---
    You're the first to eliminate
    the new type.
[17:24] ---
    No.
[17:25] ---
    What?
[17:26] ---
    By the time we got here,
[17:29] ---
    both agents Mikumo and Kuga from Tamakoma
    were already engaged in battle.
[17:34] ---
    They had mostly destroyed
    the new type already.
[17:38] ---
    Our squad just finished it off.
[17:40] ---
    Tamakoma...
    so it was that Black Trigger then.
[17:45] ---
    When he's on our side
    he's surely reliable.
[17:50] ---
    I see. Then, what Chano Squad
    reported earlier about...
[17:54] ---
    the "Humanoid Neighbor"
    was Yuma-kun, I guess.
[17:57] ---
    Since agent Mikumo was
    promoted to B-Rank,
[18:00] ---
    I can say he's become
    more like Border agents.
[18:04] ---
    HQ Director Shinoda!
[18:08] ---
    Mikumo of Tamakoma Branch here.
[18:10] ---
    Please let us go to the urban area
    in the Southwest area
[18:13] ---
    to support C-Rank agents.
[18:17] ---
    C-Rank agents?
[18:19] ---
    We heard that successfully evacuated
    areas will be left for later.

[18:24] ---
    In one of those areas,
    there's our teammate.
[18:29] ---
    I see.
[18:30] ---
    All right. Tamakoma agents
    can go separately...
[18:34] ---
    Wait.
[18:36] ---
    Only agent Mikumo may go
    support C-Rank.
[18:41] ---
    Agent Kuga will stay behind.
[18:47] ---
    Imagine if agent Kuga fights
    with his Black Trigger,
[18:50] ---
    just as Chano Squad mistook him
    for an enemy Neighbor,
[18:54] ---
    there's great risk that other agents
    and citizens might cause confusion.
[18:59] ---
    I can't allow agent Kuga
    to head to the urban area.

[19:04] ---
    Agent Kuga will go with Arashiyama Squad,
[19:07] ---
    eliminate Trion soldiers
    in the Forbidden Zone.
[19:10] ---
    But then...
[19:12] ---
    Black Triggers are valuable assets for us
    to fight against the new type.
[19:16] ---
    We can't let him remain idle.
[19:21] ---
    I will permit the use of Black Trigger by
    his own judgment because of emergency.
[19:28] ---
    But you will follow our orders.
[19:32] ---
    So if I don't use my Black Trigger,
    I can go with Osamu?
[19:36] ---
    What a meaningless assumption.
[19:38] ---
    If needed, you will definitely
    use your Black Trigger.
[19:43] ---
    That's who you are.
[19:46] ---
    You're just like your father.
[19:51] ---
    Kuga can't come with me.
[19:53] ---
    So I'll have to get to Chika by myself?
[19:56] ---
    Two more of the new type
    Trion soldiers have appeared.
[20:00] ---
    The group of Trion soldiers
    are advancing as well.
[20:02] ---
    They're about to breach
    the Forbidden Zone in the South!
[20:06] ---
    Haven't B-Rank agents regrouped yet?!
[20:08] ---
    Traps won't stall them for long!
    There is a limit!

[20:13] ---
    Looks like they're also coming this way.
[20:15] ---
    Go, Osamu.
[20:17] ---
    We said Chika we'd go help her
    if things got dangerous.
[20:20] ---
    I'm counting on you.
[20:23] ---
    I got it.
[20:31] ---
    Arashiyama senpai.
[20:34] ---
    Let me go with Mikumo-kun.
[20:37] ---
    I...
[20:39] ---
    owe these two.
[20:42] ---
    Kitora.
[20:46] ---
    Got it.
[20:47] ---
    Make sure to protect the people
    in the city for us too.
[20:51] ---
    You wouldn't mind that, would you,
    HQ Director Shinoda?
[20:54] ---
    That's fine.
[20:56] ---
    I'll leave it up to your judgment.
[20:58] ---
    Good.
[20:59] ---
    Chano Squad is heading to South area.
    Join up with the B-Rank squads.
[21:03] ---
    Roger!
[21:04] ---
    We'll eliminate the Trion soldiers
    in the Forbidden Zone.
[21:08] ---
    Special priority on the new type.
[21:10] ---
    Roger.
[21:11] ---
    Kitora and Mikumo-kun, support C-Rank
    squads in the city of Southwest area.
[21:16] ---
    Roger!
[21:19] ---
    After this, Yuma and Osamu will explain
    about the Neighbors who are invading!

[21:22] ---
    WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
[21:24] ---
    About the Neighbors who are invading
[21:24] ---
    It seems that we're pressed
    for a fierce battle, Kuga.
[21:27] ---
    Here, we should review what kind of
    country we're up against, Osamu.
[21:32] ---
    Yeah.
[21:33] ---
    I remember that in the Neighborhood,
[21:34] ---
    many planet nations exist
    travelling across
[21:37] ---
    the sea of darkness on their orbits,
[21:40] ---
    currently approaching this world are
    four of them, right?
[21:44] ---
    Right. In this large-scale invasion,
    the following were expected to invade us:
[21:48] ---
    The marine nation, Liberi
[21:48] ---
    The marine nation, Liberi.
[21:50] ---
    The cavalry nation, Leoforio.
[21:50] ---
    The cavalry nation, Leoforio
[21:52] ---
    The frozen super-power, Kion.
[21:52] ---
    The frozen super-power, Kion
[21:54] ---
    And...
[21:55] ---
    The Holy land, Afraktoral.
[21:56] ---
    The Holy land, Afraktoral
[21:57] ---
    Afraktoral is the one
    who are invading us this time.
[22:01] ---
    Afraktoral owns
    an impressive 13 Black Triggers
[22:05] ---
    and is the largest military nation
    in Neighborhood.
[22:07] ---
    The Largest Military Nation
[22:08] ---
    On top of that, this time, they brought in
    the new type Trion soldier, Rabit.
[22:12] ---
    Rabit
[22:13] ---
    Unlike any Trion soldiers before,
    their armor and power is incomparable.
[22:18] ---
    Moreover, their mission is
    to capture Trigger controllers.
[22:22] ---
    Having Afraktoral as our enemy,
[22:24] ---
    we're forced to take different
    strategies from usual.
[22:28] ---
    Right, Kuga?
[22:29] ---
    You're mostly correct.
[22:31] ---
    But Osamu, you're missing
    the most essential part.
[22:34] ---
    Missing the essential part?
[22:35] ---
    Is it about the opponent's strengths?
[22:37] ---
    Or about the likely strategies
    us, Border should take?
[22:41] ---
    The country that invaded us is not
    "Afraktoral," but "Aftokrator."
[22:43] ---
    Afraktoral
[22:45] ---
    Aftokrator
[22:48] ---
    If you had told me that
    before we start this segment,
[22:51] ---
    I would have very much
    appreciated it, Kuga.
[22:52] ---
    Sorry.
[22:54] ---
    See you!
[22:56] ---
    The imminent Trion soldiers
    divide up Border's forces.

[23:01] ---
    What is Aftokrator's true aim?
[23:04] ---
    Next time on WORLD TRIGGER:
    Meeden's Baby Birds

[23:07] ---
    Trigger on!
[23:08] ---
