[00:17] ---
    The First Large-Scale invasion.
[00:19] ---
    An act of invasion
    once carried out by...

[00:23] ---
    an adjacent dimension
    called the Neighborhood.

[00:27] ---
    Now, again, after four and a half years,
[00:30] ---
    Mikado City is exposed to
    the Neighbors' attack.

[00:35] ---
    The country that's come to invade is...
[00:37] ---
    the largest military nation in the
    Neighborhood; the Holy land, Aftokrator.

[00:43] ---
    Managing powerful Black Triggers
    and Trion soldiers - Rabits,

[00:46] ---
    they've been taking down and capturing
    Border agents one after another.

[00:51] ---
    In Mikado City, in which the entire area
    is destined to become a battlefield,

[00:55] ---
    the boys fight.
[00:57] ---
    Believing only in their own powers
    and their friends.

[01:01] ---
    Can Border, Yuma, and Osamu...
[01:05] ---
    stand up against
    the surge of these mighty enemies?

[01:10] ---
    Jin has, however, revealed...
[01:13] ---
    that his Side Effect of precognition
    showed him...

[01:17] ---
    Osamu's death
    in the worst-possible future.

[01:21] ---
    Now, a crossroads of fate is
    approaching.

[01:30] ---
    Lord Hyuse,
    go capture the baby bird as arranged.
[01:34] ---
    I'm gonna slice off the combatants.
[01:37] ---
    Roger that.
[01:39] ---
    Go now, Osamu!
[01:45] ---
    Ow, ow, ow...
[01:46] ---
    W-Wasn't it too fast, Mr. Replica...?
[01:51] ---
    It's good that we made it but...
[01:53] ---
    Jin-san!
[01:54] ---
    He's...
[01:55] ---
    Another brave one emerges?
[01:58] ---
    Nice to see you,
    everyone from Aftokrator!
[02:02] ---
    I'm a power elite, Yuichi Jin!
[02:06] ---
    I'm afraid I'm gonna take over
    the fight from here!
[02:09] ---
    Bound.
[02:10] ---
    Sexta!
[02:17] ---
    Oops, my mistake...
[02:20] ---
    I said "I'm gonna"
    but actually, "We're gonna."
[02:29] ---
    Kuga!
[02:30] ---
    - Yuma-kun!
    - Shrimp senpai!
[02:32] ---
    Boost. Double!
[02:40] ---
    Oh, oops...
[02:43] ---
    I'm not allowed to fight
    outside of the Forbidden Zone.
[02:46] ---
    Don't worry.
    You know, it's an emergency situation.
[02:54] ---
    A Crossroads of Fate
[03:15] ---
    Good job, Konami.
[03:17] ---
    Next?
[03:18] ---
    Um... I think that's about it for now.
[03:22] ---
    The evacuation is complete
[03:24] ---
    and I guess no more Trion soldiers
    will attack that area.
[03:27] ---
    Kyosuke's house is safe now, too.
[03:30] ---
    Uh-huh!
    You managed to pull it off, Konami!
[03:34] ---
    Shiori, can you do it for me?
[03:37] ---
    Okay...
[03:44] ---
    Then, I'm gonna move on.
    Where's the nearest target?
[03:48] ---
    I'll send you their locations
    so take your pick.
[03:50] ---
    Roger that!
[03:55] ---
    Sorry I'm late.
[03:56] ---
    Boss!
[03:57] ---
    I just got here.
    How's the situation?
[04:01] ---
    We're managing to match them.
[04:03] ---
    I can see that because
    you're already returned.
[04:07] ---
    I'm sure they're tough opponents.
[04:09] ---
    But Tamakoma is not defeated yet.
[04:14] ---
    I see.
[04:16] ---
    But I'm currently unable to contact HQ
    and I'm a bit worried.
[04:21] ---
    I've been trying many times
    but it's always the same...
[04:24] ---
    Torimaru-kun told me
    the passageway is still closed too...
[04:28] ---
    HQ?
[04:29] ---
    Okay, whatever you have is fine,
    give me a report on the developments.
[04:34] ---
    Roger that!
[04:37] ---
    The first Gate opened 12:33 p.m.
[04:43] ---
    Then, more than a hundred Gates were
    observed within minutes.
[04:48] ---
    At the same time, mobilization orders
    were issued to all agents.
[04:53] ---
    As for our branch members,
[04:55] ---
    Osamu-kun and Yuma-kun made a dash
    straight from Mikado Junior High.
[04:59] ---
    Chika-chan joined other C-Rank agents
    and...
[05:02] ---
    started guiding students at the school
    to evacuate.
[05:05] ---
    Reiji-san,
    as soon as he received the order,
[05:08] ---
    went to pick up Torimaru-kun and Konami.
[05:11] ---
    As for Jin-san, HQ sent direct orders
    to intercept the enemy...
[05:14] ---
    in the North area of the Forbidden Zone.
[05:16] ---
    How many enemies are there?
[05:18] ---
    The tally keeps increasing and decreasing
    so I don't have an exact number...
[05:21] ---
    But I guess there are well over five times
    the number from four and a half years ago.
[05:26] ---
    And they have formed several groups
    and begun moving in five directions;
[05:30] ---
    northwest, west, southwest,
    south, and east.
[05:34] ---
    Squads that engaged them were
    handling everything
[05:36] ---
    but a new type of Trion soldier, Rabits,
    emerged and the situation has changed.
[05:41] ---
    New type?
[05:42] ---
    Yes, it seems their special ability
    is capturing Trigger users.
[05:47] ---
    Suwa-san was turned into
    a Trion cube after he got caught, I heard.
[05:52] ---
    Because of all this,
    HQ has changed the plan:
[05:55] ---
    Put together squads that were intercepting
    individually in each direction
[05:59] ---
    and order them to destroy the enemies
    one place at a time.
[06:03] ---
    It's a reasonable decision but did
    everyone follow it without protest?
[06:07] ---
    No, as you can tell,
    our members didn't...
[06:10] ---
    That's what I thought.
[06:12] ---
    Osamu-kun and Yuma-kun headed northeast
    to intercept Trion soldiers...
[06:16] ---
    leaving Mikado Junior High located in
    the Southwest of the urban area.
[06:20] ---
    They were fighting in the Forbidden Zone
    but then, they encountered a Rabit.
[06:25] ---
    Yuma-kun used his Black Trigger.
[06:28] ---
    Shortly after that, Arashiyama Squad
    joined them and they destroyed the Rabit.
[06:32] ---
    Osamu-kun requested Commander Kido
    let them go support...
[06:35] ---
    C-Rankers in the Southwest area,
    which means Chika-chan and the others.
[06:39] ---
    It's Kido-san, I bet he told Yuma to stay.
[06:43] ---
    Exactly! You're right!
[06:46] ---
    But Kitora-chan of Arashiyama Squad
    came forward to go along with him
[06:50] ---
    and they made a move to
    the Southwest area of the urban area.
[06:54] ---
    Meanwhile, Jin-san who held off enemies
    in the northwest almost all by himself,
[06:58] ---
    started moving toward the southwest
    at that point.
[07:01] ---
    What is the enemies' purpose?
    I heard you said "capturing agents"...
[07:06] ---
    It became clear thanks to Kitora-chan.
[07:10] ---
    They want to capture C-Rank agents
    who don't have the bail out function.
[07:14] ---
    Looks like that's their purpose.
[07:17] ---
    Hmmm...
[07:18] ---
    Specifically, our branch member,
    Chika-chan, really showed off her power
[07:22] ---
    so she drew quite a bit of attention
    from the enemies, it seems,
[07:25] ---
    and almost got herself into a fix
    but...
[07:27] ---
    Reiji-san and Torimaru-kun who picked up
    Konami, made it there just in time.
[07:31] ---
    We thought we could turn the tide but...
[07:34] ---
    those Humanoid Neighbors
    arrived finally.
[07:37] ---
    The horned ones...
[07:39] ---
    That means it's the Neighbors from
    Aftokrator who are attacking us...
[07:43] ---
    Probably.
[07:44] ---
    And so far, we've confirmed a total of
    four Humanoid Neighbors.
[07:49] ---
    Our members confronted two.
[07:51] ---
    And Kazama Squad and a joint team of
    Azuma-san and the others...
[07:54] ---
    had to deal with one each.
[07:57] ---
    Humanoids...
[07:58] ---
    And most of them are
    Black Trigger users, huh?
[08:02] ---
    They've been sent here purposely.
    They're quite tough, aren't they?
[08:07] ---
    They are.
[08:08] ---
    All I could do was hold them off
    for a few minutes.
[08:11] ---
    But Tamakoma is not defeated yet.
[08:14] ---
    As for Kazama Squad,
    Kazama-san got beat and bailed out.
[08:18] ---
    Kikucchy and Utty who were left behind,
    retreated temporary.
[08:21] ---
    But the joint team - all ten of them -
    worked together nicely
[08:25] ---
    and Yosuke took one down.
[08:27] ---
    Hmmm.
[08:28] ---
    Those two Neighbors that I couldn't beat
    are still around though...
[08:31] ---
    But because Reiji-san bought some time,
[08:34] ---
    Jin-san and Yuma-kun made it
    and they're in a battle now.
[08:38] ---
    We're sharing intelligence on
    enemy tactics pretty efficiently, too.
[08:42] ---
    We're gonna make a major comeback...
    At least, that's the plan.
[08:46] ---
    Making a major comeback is
    a bit too optimistic.
[08:49] ---
    Oh well, I don't think Jin will give up
    and let them have their way.
[08:56] ---
    Let me know as soon as
    the situation changes.
[08:59] ---
    And keep calling HQ.
[09:01] ---
    Okay.
[09:05] ---
    I think the real climax begins now.
[09:09] ---
    Tell everyone to be sure to stay alert.
[09:13] ---
    Roger!
[09:31] ---
    nan no tame ikite iruno?
[09:31] ---
    "For what" do you live?
[09:35] ---
    denai kotae kyou mo Loop shiteru
[09:35] ---
    The unanswered question
    loops around again today

[09:39] ---
    dare no tame hibiku koe ga
[09:39] ---
    "For who?"
    The echoing voices

[09:43] ---
    sekai no to wo tatakuyo
[09:43] ---
    Knock on doors of the world
[09:47] ---
    yume wa yume no mamade irarezuni
[09:47] ---
    Dreams couldn't stay as dreams
[09:51] ---
    aoi bokura wa tada kakedashita
[09:51] ---
    We were young,
    so we just started running

[09:55] ---
    soko ni mirai ga aru to shinjiteta
[09:55] ---
    There, we believed to be a future
[10:03] ---
    It doesn't matter how many
    wishes you sacrifice

[10:03] ---
    ikutsu negai wo gisei ni shitemo
[10:07] ---
    As long as you can find something
    you must protect, then surely

[10:07] ---
    mamoru beki mono ga mitsukaru nara kitto
[10:11] ---
    From here everything, yeah, will start
[10:11] ---
    koko kara subete sou hajimarusa
[10:15] ---
    A reason for my life...
    A reason for your life...

[10:15] ---
    A reason for my life...
    A reason for your life...

[10:18] ---
    I'll never run away again
[10:18] ---
    nigenai nido to
[10:23] ---
    I wake up from a dream
    in my dream again

[10:23] ---
    yume kara samete mata yume
[10:25] ---
    I can't reach reality
[10:25] ---
    Real ni todoka nakute
[10:27] ---
    I glared at tomorrow, then my sight
[10:27] ---
    asu wo niramu shikai ga
[10:29] ---
    Started to blur as tears swelled
[10:29] ---
    namida de nijimi dashita
[10:31] ---
    How many times did I trip and fall down?
[10:31] ---
    tsumazuite korobu nomo nankaime?
[10:33] ---
    I don't know if I'll ever be rewarded
[10:33] ---
    mukuwareru kamo wakara naine
[10:35] ---
    Even so, if you say pain and suffering
    is a test, I can still handle more

[10:35] ---
    sore demo itami mo tsurasa mo
    shiren dato iu naraba mada tan naize

[10:39] ---
    Not someday, right now is my day
[10:39] ---
    itsuka janaku ima ga My Day
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

[10:53] ---
    Can't believe he attacked me right away...
[10:55] ---
    Well, well...
    He's quite a "well-behaved" boy.
[11:10] ---
    Osamu-kun!
[11:11] ---
    Oh, Four-Eyes, nice!
[11:14] ---
    Osamu...
[11:15] ---
    Are you alright?!
    There are pieces on your arm...
[11:19] ---
    I'm alright!
[11:20] ---
    Let's run! They're targeting you!
[11:23] ---
    What? Me...?
[11:26] ---
    I'll leave them in your hands,
    Kyosuke, Four-Eyes.
[11:30] ---
    You can't use the passageway.
    You gotta go to the base directly.
[11:34] ---
    Watch out for the Trion soldiers.
[11:36] ---
    Roger that!
[11:37] ---
    Now, go!
[11:40] ---
    Oh no...
[11:43] ---
    I don't want them to run around anymore.
[11:48] ---
    Don't move.
[11:52] ---
    Is this...
[11:53] ---
    Chain
[11:54] ---
    Chain.
[11:55] ---
    It links the seals with Trion chains.
[11:58] ---
    It's one of Yuma's
    Black Trigger abilities.

[12:01] ---
    It can be used as a trap by setting it up
    on the ground or other surface.

[12:06] ---
    This means when he kicked me before,
    he had already made a strategic move...

[12:15] ---
    Escudo.
[12:19] ---
    Barriers in the street?
[12:21] ---
    You can't catch up to them anymore.
[12:24] ---
    My Side Effect is telling me so.
[12:27] ---
    What?!
[12:28] ---
    Oh my... Meeden has a number of
    quite formidable warriors.
[12:39] ---
    Lord Hyuse, let's change our plan.
[12:43] ---
    Seems like we can't go after the baby bird
    without taking care of these two first.
[12:50] ---
    Let's communicate secretly from here.
[12:53] ---
    According to Reiji-san, it's dangerous to
    let those two fight together.

[12:58] ---
    It's a combination of the Trigger
    that captures enemies by a magnetic force

[13:01] ---
    and the Black Trigger with
    peculiar slashing attacks.

[13:04] ---
    Then, let's fight them separately.
[13:06] ---
    I don't know your fighting style so odds
    are against us if it's a tag-team match.

[13:12] ---
    Looks like they're discussing a plan
    secretly, too.

[13:17] ---
    Now, how are they gonna set it off?
[13:20] ---
    Keep it as two-on-two or separate us...
[13:24] ---
    Either one will be fine.
[13:26] ---
    I've already set things up for
    a back-up plan.

[13:29] ---
    We take the old one.
[13:32] ---
    I've placed a seal on him before and
    I don't get that whole magnetic crap.

[13:36] ---
    Okay, let's go with that.
[13:38] ---
    - Let's go, Replica.
    - I got it.
[13:41] ---
    Boost. Double!
[13:46] ---
    Here it comes!
[13:49] ---
    Bound. Double!
[13:51] ---
    Leading with all his strength?
    How outrageous...
[13:55] ---
    But, in mid air,
    I can let loose without constraint.
[14:01] ---
    Organon.
[14:06] ---
    It's heavy... When did he do that?
[14:08] ---
    Anchor
[14:09] ---
    Anchor.
[14:11] ---
    An ability whereby a weight
    is planted on an opponent.

[14:13] ---
    Yuma copied this ability from Miwa.
[14:17] ---
    Since it doesn't have
    a direct destructive power,

[14:19] ---
    it doesn't interact with Shield Triggers.
[14:23] ---
    Its mechanism seems to involve the blades
    going along the tracks of extended rings.
[14:27] ---
    Reiji-san's assumption was
    basically right.
[14:30] ---
    Anchor. Plus, Bolt...
[14:33] ---
    Quadra!
[14:50] ---
    Those chains that I cut earlier
    must've had these weights implanted...

[14:55] ---
    Meeden's Triggers are quite versatile.
[15:01] ---
    I have a question.
[15:04] ---
    Why do you bother attacking this world?
[15:07] ---
    If you want people who can use Trion,
[15:09] ---
    you can just go abduct them
    from nearby countries.
[15:12] ---
    Yes.
[15:14] ---
    Of course, we're doing that.
[15:17] ---
    We sent our elites to
    all the countries nearby.
[15:21] ---
    Meeden is one of them.
[15:24] ---
    They're invading other countries
    on a scale similar to this?
[15:27] ---
    Does that mean their home country
    completely defenseless?
[15:36] ---
    It used to be very easy to
    capture Meeden's people
[15:40] ---
    but it's not like that these days.
[15:44] ---
    Like when attacking other countries,
[15:47] ---
    we need thorough preparations
    and forces now.
[15:51] ---
    Anchor has been blocked by the cape...
[15:54] ---
    Why are you collecting people
    all over the place?
[15:57] ---
    It's not necessary for me to answer that.
[16:01] ---
    If I give you a detailed reason,
[16:05] ---
    would you turn a blind eye
    to our mission?
[16:09] ---
    No... Absolutely not.
[16:12] ---
    I can't get him...
    What's wrong with this guy?

[16:16] ---
    Although we're keeping them away,
[16:18] ---
    I still see Four-Eyes and
    Chika-chan's worst-case future.

[16:22] ---
    Boy... This is not gonna be easy.
[16:37] ---
    It wasn't that hard to separate you.
[16:40] ---
    Things become much easier like this.
[16:42] ---
    An underground passage...
    The point is it's narrow and dark.

[16:45] ---
    Is he a setting-a-trap type, too?
[16:48] ---
    Looks like he has some kind of ability
    to see his opponent's attack

[16:52] ---
    but a dark place is favorable
    for me to fight, too.

[16:56] ---
    I can't see the bullets!
[17:07] ---
    Covering himself in the darkness...
[17:16] ---
    Tsk. Protective coloring
    and the variety of attacks...

[17:23] ---
    Catching you was easier than I thought.
[17:26] ---
    Your friend cut his arm off
    without hesitation.
[17:30] ---
    Magnetic force and deflection...
    It's an elaborate Trigger.
[17:35] ---
    It's very convenient
    and its user is quite skillful.
[17:40] ---
    I bet you're an important war asset
    for them...
[17:43] ---
    So why do they wanna abandon you here?
[17:48] ---
    What're you saying...?
[17:52] ---
    Y-You bastard!
[17:54] ---
    You talk nonsense!
[17:56] ---
    There, the prediction comes true.
[18:00] ---
    This is...
[18:01] ---
    The Barricade Trigger from earlier!
[18:03] ---
    I'm not talking nonsense.
[18:07] ---
    I can... see your future.
[18:11] ---
    What?!
[18:13] ---
    I'll keep him here...
    Then, the future shifts a little more...

[18:18] ---
    We'll reach the pivotal crossroads
    very soon!

[18:22] ---
    Hello? Is this Torimaru-kun? I got through
    to Kaho-chan of Kazama Squad.
[18:27] ---
    A Humanoid Neighbor invaded HQ!
    And he's a Black Trigger user, she said!
[18:32] ---
    That's why you can't get into HQ, I think!
[18:35] ---
    A Neighbor invaded HQ?!
[18:37] ---
    Black Trigger?!
[18:39] ---
    Karasuma senpai!
[18:40] ---
    Let's head to HQ even if we can't get in.
[18:43] ---
    Jin-san told us so...
    Means there's a good reason for that.
[18:48] ---
    The operations center suffered
    catastrophic damage!
[18:52] ---
    The Humanoid Neighbor is
    moving towards the laboratory.
[18:55] ---
    Rescue squad!
    Stand ready to move anytime!
[18:59] ---
    Move in after the Humanoid passes by!
[19:01] ---
    In the laboratory, there is still a team
    that's analyzing Agent Suwa's cube!
[19:05] ---
    Of all places, we let him enter the area
    where people haven't evacuated.
[19:10] ---
    All engineers, activate your
    Self-defense Triggers and evacuate!
[19:14] ---
    You can give up the lab!
[19:16] ---
    Listen, protect yourselves at any cost!
[19:26] ---
    This certainly is a country of monkeys!
    Those traps are typical monkey tactics!
[19:36] ---
    Isn't there any Trigger user?
    If you don't come out already,
[19:41] ---
    I'll chop up everybody one by one.
[19:52] ---
    Before it was a new type
    and now, a Black Trigger?
[19:56] ---
    B-Rank No.10, Suwa Squad
[19:56] ---
    I just came back! Can't believe I have to
    face this big pain in the butt!
[19:59] ---
    There you are, small fries!
[20:07] ---
    I was worried that
    no one would play with me.
[20:13] ---
    Seems like it didn't work for him at all!
[20:23] ---
    Does he really have a weak point?!
[20:26] ---
    He does.
[20:27] ---
    If it's a Trion body, there must be
    a Relay Center and a Supply System.
[20:32] ---
    It's just he moves things inside of
    his body to avoid damage from attacks.
[20:37] ---
    Shoot every single part of
    his whole body.
[20:40] ---
    Triggers you guys use are suited for that.
[20:43] ---
    He's an A-Ranker after all!
    He says it like it's easy!
[20:54] ---
    Those shrimps from earlier scurried around
    and fended them off, and it irritated me
[20:58] ---
    but you guys aren't so quick!
[21:02] ---
    They have no skills.
    They're literally small fries!
[21:09] ---
    Virtual combat mode on!
[21:16] ---
    What's going on?!
    The arm that I chopped off is...

[21:20] ---
    You have no idea what's going on,
    do you?
[21:24] ---
    B-Rank No.10, Suwa Squad, Captain
    Gunner: Kotaro Suwa (21)

[21:25] ---
    Look at your stupid little face!
[21:28] ---
    Come on, Mr. Black Trigger.
[21:34] ---
    I'll play with you like you wanted.
[21:39] ---
    Approximately 1240 seconds left until
    the crossroads of the future.

[21:44] ---
    After this, we'll review Hyuse's Trigger!
[21:47] ---
    WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
[21:48] ---
    About Hyuse's Trigger
[21:49] ---
    Butterfly, butterfly
    Come rest on rapeseed leaves

[21:55] ---
    Hey... What's wrong, Four-Eyes?
[21:57] ---
    Oh, Jin-san! Actually,
    I just got some important information!
[22:01] ---
    The enemy named Hyuse that Jin-san is
    fighting, has a Trigger called Lambiris
[22:04] ---
    Lambiris
[22:06] ---
    which means "Butterfly Shield"
    in the language of Aftokrator!
[22:08] ---
    Butterfly Shield
[22:09] ---
    That's why the butterfly song!
[22:11] ---
    Yes! And there are other things
    that I found out.
[22:15] ---
    Those small triangular crystals
    can be used for offense, of course,
[22:17] ---
    Offense
[22:18] ---
    but by manipulating their magnetic force,
    they stick together or fly apart
[22:21] ---
    so they can be used as a shield
    to deflect bullets.
[22:22] ---
    Shield
[22:23] ---
    And he can even make a track to accelerate
    them using their magnetic force
[22:27] ---
    Fly
[22:27] ---
    and generate lift and fly.
[22:29] ---
    They say it's a cutting-edge Trigger
    of Aftokrator.
[22:30] ---
    Cutting-edge
[22:31] ---
    Sounds pretty troublesome.
[22:33] ---
    Yes. Also by landing them in
    his opponents,
[22:36] ---
    he can weaken their attacks
    or capture them.
[22:37] ---
    Capture
[22:39] ---
    Oh yeah, you got them on your arm!
[22:42] ---
    They're still right on my arm!
[22:44] ---
    Hmmm. There must be something to it.
    That's what my Side Effect is telling me.
[22:49] ---
    I see! We gotta check out on it!
[22:52] ---
    Gotta check it out!
[22:53] ---
    See you!
[22:56] ---
    The fight between Yuma and Viza,
    gets even more heated,

[22:59] ---
    while Osamu and the others
    are rushing to evacuate.

[23:01] ---
    But Aftokrator's captain, Hyrein
    appears in front of them.

[23:04] ---
    Next time on WORLD TRIGGER:
    The Enemy Captain, Hyrein

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