[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.

[05:11] ---
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] ---

[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!
[13:18] ---
A-Rank No.5, Arashiyama Squad
[13:19] ---
Arashiyama-san!
[13:21] ---
A-Rank No.5, Arashiyama Squad, Captain
All-rounder: Jun Arashiyama (19)
[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!
