[00:17] ---
In Mikado City, battles broke out
here and there.
[00:20] ---
The scale of this invasion by
Neighbors is the largest ever.
[00:24] ---
As Neighbor's new type, Rabit appeared,
the battle situation kept deteriorating.
[00:29] ---
In order to defeat Rabits,
if we concentrated our forces on them,
[00:32] ---
other Trion soldiers
would attack the urban area.
[00:34] ---
But if we tried to protect the urban area,
Rabits would threaten from behind.
[00:39] ---
Furthermore, Ilgars crashed against HQ.
[00:42] ---
We were increasingly
driven into a corner.
[00:45] ---
Meanwhile, outside of the Forbidden Zone,
[00:48] ---
danger came near Chika and others
who were evacuating the civilians.
[00:52] ---
Kitora and I headed off to rescue them.
[00:55] ---
Can we really save Chika and the civilians
from the Neighbors?
[01:05] ---
Neighbors are those who inhabit adjacent
another world called Neighborhood.
[01:05] ---
Neighbor
[01:11] ---
Four and half years ago from today.
[01:13] ---
A Gate to another world was opened
by those who sought Trion,
[01:17] ---
and a large-scale invasion took place.
[01:20] ---
The battle known as
The First Large-Scale Invasion,
[01:23] ---
Border
Border Defense Agency
[01:23] ---
was brought to an end by the action of
Border Defense Agency, namely Border.
[01:28] ---
Since then Border has pressed forward with
studying "Trigger," a Neighbor technology,
[01:33] ---
and has been battling them.
[01:36] ---
And so, four and a half years later
[01:39] ---
another large-scale Neighbor
invasion has begun,
[01:42] ---
the entire area of Mikado City is about
to be exposed to their attacks.
[01:46] ---
What will happen to Border,
Yuma, and Osamu?
[01:49] ---
Can they stand up to the threat of
another large-scale invasion?
[01:55] ---
Now, the fateful battle begins.
[02:03] ---
Meeden's Baby Birds
[02:09] ---
It's reassuring that Kitora-kun
will be guarding the urban area.
[02:09] ---
Border HQ, Control Room
[02:13] ---
Having the Black Trigger on
our side is promising too.
[02:17] ---
That's strange...
[02:18] ---
What?
[02:19] ---
What is it?
[02:21] ---
The enemy could've caused major damage
to the base with one more strike.
[02:25] ---
Why didn't they follow up?
[02:28] ---
Did they simply use up
their bombers?
[02:30] ---
Their deployment of the new types
has been sporadic too.
[02:33] ---
I still can't see
the enemy's true motive.
[02:38] ---
Geez!
[02:39] ---
Why don't we make further attacks?
[02:42] ---
We could've destroyed them
with a couple more blasts!
[02:44] ---
If we corner the enemy pointlessly,
we'll burn our fingers.
[02:47] ---
Don't you even understand that much?
[02:49] ---
I don't care for the logic of small fry.
[02:52] ---
Kill the enemy when you can.
[02:54] ---
We bombed them to reveal their
assets and confuse them.
[02:59] ---
Our goal is not to occupy
or take over Meeden.
[03:03] ---
The Urban Area
Southwest Area
[03:04] ---
Wow, that sounds awful!
[03:07] ---
I saw a flash over by the base earlier.
[03:09] ---
Do you think everything's okay?
[03:12] ---
It'll be all right.
[03:14] ---
Osamu-kun and the other official agents
are fighting for us.
[03:19] ---
Yeah...
[03:20] ---
Let's keep doing what we can.
[03:23] ---
I think we're doing enough already.
[03:27] ---
Izuho-chan!
[03:29] ---
Ah... All right.
[03:32] ---
They're sending rescue to areas
where evacuations are lagging first?
[03:36] ---
That means we're gonna be
left for later.
[03:36] ---
Refuge place is...
[03:40] ---
Hard workers get the shaft...
Nonsense. That's really nonsense.
[03:44] ---
Heroes get tested, huh?
[03:47] ---
I'm getting excited instead.
[03:50] ---
If Neighbors are coming, I can make
a name known in Border with this battle.
[03:54] ---
Refuge place is this way.
[03:55] ---
Leader! But, we hear it's not
just Capturing Trion Soldiers,
[03:59] ---
there are combat ones and new types even
official agents are having problems with.
[04:04] ---
In that case,
we'll strategically withdraw.
[04:08] ---
Those who risk their lives
for no reason are the third class.
[04:10] ---
Those who look at the whole situation
and act smart are the real pros.
[04:23] ---
Impressive!
[04:24] ---
We'll follow you, Leader!
[04:28] ---
All B-Rank agents are supposed to
regroup at where Azuma-san is.
[04:35] ---
But this thing is keeping us
from meeting up with them.
[04:38] ---
I'll draw its attention.
[04:40] ---
Kuruma senpai and Taichi should go
join up with the B-Rank squads.
[04:41] ---
B-Rank No.8, Suzunari-1
Sniper: Taichi Betsuyaku (16)
[04:44] ---
W... what will you do by yourself?
[04:47] ---
Until A-Rank agents arrive,
I'll deal with that thing.
[04:50] ---
Don't worry.
I won't do anything reckless.
[04:53] ---
B-Rank No.8, Suzunari-1
No.4 Attacker: Ko Murakami (18)
[04:53] ---
I know my limits.
[04:55] ---
The Forbidden Zone
HQ East Area
[04:56] ---
I hear Arashiyama Squad defeated
the new type first.
[05:01] ---
Because you two are too cautious...
[05:03] ---
It wasn't like one-on-one. There was
no way we'd lose with the three of us.
[05:07] ---
We aren't competing or anything.
[05:09] ---
Sure, but still...
[05:15] ---
I don't see Suwa-san in its stomach.
There's only this cube.
[05:19] ---
I see.
[05:21] ---
Unless there's a Gate
inside the new type,
[05:25] ---
it's reasonable to assume that Suwa
has been entirely condensed into this.
[05:29] ---
Call Tsutsumi and Sasamori
from Suwa Squad.
[05:32] ---
Have the engineers analyze it at HQ.
[05:34] ---
If he's still alive...
[05:36] ---
Hey.
[05:37] ---
By the way, the base was repeatedly
getting bombarded a while ago,
[05:40] ---
I wonder if HQ is okay.
[05:42] ---
They'll be fine.
[05:44] ---
Tachikawa and Toma are
loitering around at HQ.
[05:47] ---
And when it comes down to it,
HQ Director Shinoda is there.
[05:50] ---
And besides...
[05:51] ---
If they ever get in real danger,
we know he'll make his move.
[05:58] ---
Oh, boy. You've flattened
the whole place, Amo.
[06:01] ---
S-Rank Agent, Border HQ:
Tsukihiko Amo (16)
[06:02] ---
Jin-san.
[06:04] ---
Come on, man,
hold back a little.
[06:07] ---
No way, it's too troublesome.
[06:09] ---
They're just all small fry
with boring colors.
[06:12] ---
It doesn't motivate me at all.
[06:14] ---
Yup, yup.
[06:15] ---
It's a good thing
you're so relaxed.
[06:17] ---
I hate to ask you, but can you also
cover the area assigned to me?
[06:21] ---
It's the west of the base.
[06:22] ---
Aw... Why?
[06:24] ---
Okay, okay,
I'll give you this.
[06:27] ---
Fried rice crackers
[06:28] ---
The enemy's going to
bring out their big guns soon.
[06:32] ---
I should be there too.
[06:36] ---
The Forbidden Zone
HQ Southwest Area
[06:37] ---
Trion soldiers are
all over the place.
[06:40] ---
What numbers,
[06:41] ---
it's more than The First Large-Scale
Invasion four and a half years ago.
[06:44] ---
It doesn't make sense.
[06:45] ---
Why they would send so many soldiers
to this world is a mystery.
[06:49] ---
What is that?
A Communication Trigger?
[06:52] ---
Greetings, Kitora.
[06:54] ---
I'm Replica. Yuma's chaperone.
[06:57] ---
A chaperone?
[06:58] ---
Replica has been traveling with Kuga and
knows a lot about Neighbors.
[07:03] ---
A Trigger connected to Kuga, huh.
[07:05] ---
Anyway, what doesn't make sense?
[07:07] ---
I analyzed the Rabit
just now and found that
[07:10] ---
a large amount of Trion is invested
in that one unit.
[07:15] ---
Combined with other Trion soldiers,
it adds up to a tremendous cost.
[07:19] ---
Sinking this much Trion
into this world
[07:22] ---
leaves their own country's
defenses quite low.
[07:24] ---
That should normally be avoided.
[07:27] ---
Even though their defense gets low,
all the forces they poured into
[07:31] ---
aren't focused on any one area
but purposely scattered.
[07:34] ---
The intention of
their operation is unclear.
[07:36] ---
We already know what the enemy is after.
[07:39] ---
They wait for us to react
to their dispersion
[07:42] ---
and capture us with the new type
once we scatter, right?
[07:45] ---
They're trying to abduct Trigger
controllers who can be of use to them.
[07:49] ---
That's why HQ Director Shinoda had
all the scattered B-Rank agents gather up.
[07:52] ---
Surely, it is possible.
[07:56] ---
But Border has "Bail out."
[07:59] ---
If they consistently bail out
before getting captured,
[08:02] ---
in the most extreme case,
they can minimize losses to zero.
[08:05] ---
The enemy used the Rads for research
to fully prepare for this attack.
[08:09] ---
Would they overlook
such a simple thing?
[08:12] ---
The scattered attack of
Trion soldiers in various directions.
[08:15] ---
The capture of agents
by the Rabits.
[08:17] ---
Bombing HQ.
[08:19] ---
Behind all this... I fear lies
the enemy's true motive.
[08:25] ---
True motive? You mean bombing
HQ was just a diversion too?
[08:30] ---
They could have destroyed it
if they wanted to.
[08:32] ---
But that is not a very good strategy.
[08:34] ---
Why not? If they destroyed the base,
they'd basically win.
[08:38] ---
By cornering us too much,
[08:39] ---
they risk our creation of
the Black Triggers.
[08:43] ---
In a predicament, there will be
a few who would sacrifice their lives.
[08:48] ---
There've been many cases in the past
where a large nation
[08:50] ---
on the verge of victory had to flee
due to a Black Triggers' counterattack.
[08:55] ---
Especially in away missions, when there's
no back-up, forces can overturn easily.
[08:59] ---
So, Humanoid Neighbors stay out of
combat on alert for that?
[09:04] ---
Mikumo-kun!
[09:07] ---
Kitora?
[09:08] ---
I'm afraid chit-chat is over now.
[09:10] ---
Trion soldiers have invaded
the Southwest of the urban area too.
[09:14] ---
The Urban Area
Southwest Area
[09:15] ---
Yikes!
They already got through!
[09:19] ---
Everyone who couldn't evacuate,
run to the shelter!
[09:22] ---
Bird formation!
[09:23] ---
Vidofnir!
[09:29] ---
Sheesh.
[09:31] ---
C-Rank agents aren't allowed to fight?
[09:34] ---
Now's not the time for that.
[09:39] ---
Eh?
[09:40] ---
What?
[09:45] ---
Over there!
[09:47] ---
Let's go!
I'm counting on you, Kitora!
[09:49] ---
Just don't get in my way!
SIGN Ai Kitora
Age: 15
Birthday: June 26
Height: 161 cm
Blood type: A
Zodiac sign: Gladius
Likes: Training, spicy food
[09:58] ---
W... what is that thing?
[10:00] ---
Don't you think we're kinda
in serious trouble?
[10:02] ---
Yeah... My vast experience
is also telling me so...
[10:09] ---
Whoa!
[10:12] ---
R... R... retreat!
Retreat strategically!
[10:15] ---
What is that?
[10:16] ---
A Trion soldier!
[10:21] ---
Uh-oh!
[10:27] ---
Look!
[10:28] ---
Arashiyama Squad!
It's Kitora from Arashiyama Squad.
[10:31] ---
And Four-Eyes who got
beat up by Midorikawa the other day.
[10:34] ---
Osamu-kun!
[10:36] ---
Four-Eyed senpai!
[10:37] ---
Arashiyama Squad?
[10:38] ---
The mascot team of all squads!
[10:41] ---
This new type has a different
color than the previous one.
[10:44] ---
The shape is a little different too...
[10:47] ---
Whoa!
[10:48] ---
There's another one!
[10:50] ---
A Marmod!
[10:51] ---
What terrible timing!
[10:53] ---
You go take care of it, Mikumo-kun!
[10:56] ---
I'll fight the new type.
[10:58] ---
You're going to fight the new type
by yourself?
[11:00] ---
Not much difference even with two of us.
[11:02] ---
The Marmod is all yours.
Show me you're different from before.
[11:07] ---
All right!
[11:10] ---
HQ, this is Kitora.
[11:13] ---
I'm engaging the new type.
[11:14] ---
No!
[11:17] ---
This way, Marmod!
[11:18] ---
Mikumo?!
[11:20] ---
Mikumo is back!
[11:22] ---
Really?
[11:26] ---
A real one-on-one combat
with a Marmod...
[11:29] ---
I haven't fought one without Kuga
or Arashiyama-san's help since that time.
[11:34] ---
To destroy a single Marmod,
we'd need at least 20 of you.
[11:41] ---
And even if you won,
we'd lose 18 Osamus out of those 20.
[11:49] ---
This is the perfect opponent
to try and see how much I've changed.
[11:54] ---
This time for sure, I'll use my
own strength to save everyone!
[11:58] ---
Usami senpai, you know HQ has a virtual
training program to fight Trion soldiers.
[12:04] ---
Can we do that at our branch too?
[12:07] ---
Sure we can.
[12:09] ---
Their program is based on our
training room to begin with.
[12:12] ---
What do you want to fight?
It's virtual, so anything is possible.
[12:16] ---
A 100-meter tall Bamster? Or 50 Ilgars?
[12:19] ---
Well, I want a regular Marmod...
[12:23] ---
A Marmod! Okay.
[12:26] ---
In that case, you can go against the
"Yasha-maru Series" I programmed myself!
[12:30] ---
Overwhelming power and armor!
Yasha-maru Gold!
[12:34] ---
Swift slashes and sharp body!
Yasha-maru Black!
[12:37] ---
Popular with the ladies!
Yasha-maru Honey Brown!
[12:41] ---
Intrigued by Yasha-maru Black,
[12:43] ---
it still doesn't know yet they're
siblings separated at birth!
[12:46] ---
Yasha-maru Pink!
[12:47] ---
So, which would you like?
[12:49] ---
Well, just a regular one is fine.
[12:50] ---
Nooo!
[12:58] ---
Trion soldiers' movements appear
animal-like at first glance,
[13:01] ---
but they're actually programmed to select
the best move suitable for the situation.
[13:04] ---
So they move logically.
[13:09] ---
In that sense, its moves are more like
Kazama senpai's than Midorikawa's.
[13:13] ---
The more hits I take,
the better I can read them.
[13:17] ---
But I can't just endure.
Not with my Trion...
[13:21] ---
Don't just keep taking the attack!
[13:23] ---
You have to fight back!
[13:25] ---
Karasuma senpai!
[13:26] ---
You can't win with defense alone!
[13:28] ---
Even if a Raygust is a defense type, it'll
break if you keep taking the attacks.
[13:33] ---
The less Trion ability you have,
the faster it'll break.
[13:36] ---
So counterattack before it gets broken.
[13:38] ---
You say that, but there's no
chance to fight back!
[13:41] ---
That's because
you can't imagine fighting back.
[13:44] ---
Imagine fighting back?
[13:46] ---
First, you have to imagine it,
[13:50] ---
your body will move accordingly.
The body doesn't move by itself.
[13:54] ---
Without an image of poking through
an opening with a counterattack,
[13:57] ---
you won't ever be able to notice
your opponent's openings.
[14:00] ---
Imagine the best moves you're aiming for.
[14:03] ---
In order to get closer to that,
think about how to do it, and move.
[14:10] ---
That's what training is for.
[14:14] ---
There it is!
[14:15] ---
Thruster on!
[14:19] ---
One more!
[14:22] ---
He did it!
[14:27] ---
All right!
[14:28] ---
I got it!
[14:29] ---
Thanks to Kuga and my senpais,
I'm slowly but surely improving too!
[14:34] ---
But it's not over yet.
[14:37] ---
I have to go help Kitora!
[14:39] ---
What's going on?
[14:48] ---
What are those moves...?
[14:49] ---
Holy crap.
[14:51] ---
That Trion soldier is toast.
I knew A-Rank agents were monsters.
[14:55] ---
She's so fast.
[14:56] ---
There's no room for us to assist.
[14:57] ---
Osamu-kun!
[14:59] ---
Four-eyed senpai!
[15:00] ---
Chika! Natsume-san!
[15:02] ---
It's dangerous here!
Evacuate with everyone else!
[15:05] ---
But doesn't she seem to be winning?
The person from Arashiyama Squad is tough.
[15:10] ---
Sure, Kitora is strong.
[15:12] ---
But she's never fought that type before.
We don't know what it'll do.
[15:17] ---
What I need to watch out for most is
its powerful artillery fire.
[15:20] ---
If it hits me directly, my shield
probably won't be able to deflect it.
[15:23] ---
It has preliminary action, so if I keep
that in mind I can deal with it.
[15:27] ---
I should keep gunning it down
from a distance to play it safe,
[15:31] ---
but its armor is so thick that I'll waste
too much Trion using bullets.
[15:36] ---
I need to get one step closer
and cut it down with my blade.
[15:44] ---
It flew!
[15:45] ---
It got above me!
[15:47] ---
It's about to shoot!
[15:55] ---
A random attack?
[15:56] ---
We should rescue the civilians.
[15:59] ---
Why you...!
[16:00] ---
Your opponent is me!
[16:08] ---
Kitora!
[16:15] ---
It's got me!
[16:17] ---
I made a mistake?
Just like that other time!
[16:21] ---
No! I'm not like that anymore.
[16:24] ---
I'm A-Rank! I said I'd get the job done.
[16:30] ---
So I will!
[16:41] ---
She did it!
[16:42] ---
She defeated it!
[16:43] ---
Amazing!
[16:44] ---
She cut off her own leg...
[16:46] ---
Oh my gosh. I thought she was a goner.
[16:51] ---
Yes!
[16:52] ---
Great job, Kitora!
[16:58] ---
Target confirmed. A flock of baby birds.
[17:01] ---
They seemed to have been
evacuating the citizens.
[17:04] ---
I see. No wonder nobody came out
when we rustled their nest.
[17:09] ---
Send out the Mods.
[17:12] ---
There's no time to celebrate!
Continue the evacuations...
[17:32] ---
Now then, let's capture
those baby birds.
[17:36] ---
Meeden's manpower is
favorably dispersed.
[17:39] ---
The stage is set
for Rabits to do their job.
[17:43] ---
The fact that the baby birds' Triggers
don't have an escape function
[17:47] ---
was revealed by Rad's investigations.
[17:49] ---
Just as we originally planned,
they are the real target.
[17:53] ---
All of you,
go play with the Meeden soldiers
[17:57] ---
to make sure they don't interfere
with Rabits work!
[18:02] ---
Three of the new types!
[18:04] ---
Not fair!
They're coming out one after the other!
[18:07] ---
Why?
There are only C-Rank agents here...
[18:11] ---
Oh no!
[18:13] ---
But Border has "Bail out."
[18:16] ---
If they consistently bail out
before captured,
[18:19] ---
in the most extreme case,
they can minimize losses to zero.
[18:22] ---
Behind all this... I fear lies
the enemy's true motive.
[18:29] ---
Get out of here, fast! They're after...
[18:32] ---
you guys!
[18:37] ---
Kitora!
[18:40] ---
Bastard!
[18:43] ---
It fluidized the body?
Each one has a different function?
[18:50] ---
Mikumo-kun! You contact HQ...
[18:55] ---
B... Bail o...
[19:06] ---
It... It ate her!
[19:07] ---
Damn it!
[19:10] ---
Four-eyed senpai!
[19:13] ---
Everyone, run!
[19:15] ---
Run fast!
[19:18] ---
It ate the A-Rank agent!
[19:19] ---
Oh no! Run!
[19:20] ---
This is really bad! Chikako, hurry!
[19:24] ---
Chikako?
[19:36] ---
What are you doing, Chika?
Run away fast!
[20:10] ---
