[00:16] ---
    The First Large-Scale invasion.
[00:19] ---
    The Neighbors, the invaders from
    an adjacent dimension, the Neighborhood,
[00:23] ---
    came to attack out of the blue.
[00:25] ---
    People trembled with fear
    and thought their city would be destroyed.
[00:30] ---
    That's when a mysterious group showed up
    and got rid of the Neighbors.
[00:36] ---
    It was a group called Border.
[00:38] ---
    Since then, Mikado City has been
    kept in peace through their action.
[00:43] ---
    Now, again, four and a half years later,
[00:46] ---
    Mikado City was exposed to
    the Neighbors' large-scale attack.
[00:50] ---
    The enemy was the largest military nation
    in the Neighborhood; Aftokrator.
[00:54] ---
    The Trion soldiers - Rabits and
    the Humanoid Neighbors who manipulate...
[00:58] ---
    the powerful Black Triggers
    came to invade.
[01:01] ---
    Standing up undaunted and bravely against
    the surge of the unbeatable enemies was...
[01:06] ---
    Yuma, Osamu,
    and the other Border agents.
[01:09] ---
    Finally, the helm was steered towards
    their victory at the crossroads of fate.
[01:15] ---
    In exchange for
    a great sacrifice...
[01:22] ---
    A Hero and a Partner
[01:31] ---
    Osamu's Mother
    Kasumi Mikumo (39)
[01:32] ---
    Mother...
[01:37] ---
    Ow, ow, ow...
[01:40] ---
    Oh yeah... I was...
[01:43] ---
    attacked by the Humanoid Neighbor and...
[01:47] ---
    Osamu.
[01:50] ---
    You...
[01:54] ---
    got seriously injured like that
    but Chika-chan didn't weep for you.
[01:58] ---
    You need to connect more intimately
    with her. More intimately.
[02:03] ---
    But so many people came to see you.
[02:08] ---
    Guess you're doing well in Border.
[02:10] ---
    See me?
[02:17] ---
    The Tamakoma Branch, wasn't it?
[02:20] ---
    Everyday,
    one of your senpai would come.
[02:25] ---
    The branch director with glasses
    and a kid with a helmet as well.
[02:28] ---
    Senpai and Branch Director Rindo...?
[02:33] ---
    The 27th?!
    I was out for more than a week?!
[02:38] ---
    Who else came?
[02:40] ---
    The Border HQ director and...
[02:42] ---
    I don't quite know but...
[02:45] ---
    the people on TV?
[02:47] ---
    TV? Arashiyama Squad?
[02:50] ---
    A boy who seemed
    pretty straightforward...
[02:52] ---
    Arashiyama-san?
[02:55] ---
    And a well-brought-up kind of lady.
[02:57] ---
    Must be Kitora.
[03:00] ---
    And who else...
    one of your kouhai?
[03:03] ---
    Natsume-san?
[03:05] ---
    He was a boy.
[03:07] ---
    Midorikawa?
[03:10] ---
    He spoke very politely
[03:12] ---
    but he looked a bit fierce
    and he had black-hair and eagle eyes.
[03:18] ---
    Kazama-san?!
[03:20] ---
    He's not my kouhai,
    he's my senpai.
[03:24] ---
    Oh, is he? And some other boys...
[03:27] ---
    A very lively trio came, too.
[03:30] ---
    What?! You're his mother?!
[03:32] ---
    Is this for real?! Not his sister?!
[03:35] ---
    So young! Damn! I'm jealous of him
    in many ways! Mikumo senpai!
[03:40] ---
    They're quite honest and good boys.
[03:42] ---
    Lively...
[03:44] ---
    Midorikawa, Yoneya senpai,
    and those guys?
[03:49] ---
    On the other hand,
[03:50] ---
    your senpai at Tamakoma Branch,
    Jin-kun didn't look so well.
[03:56] ---
    He kept apologizing to me and Chika-chan.
[04:00] ---
    Jin-san did?
[04:09] ---
    Osamu-kun! You're awake!
    That's great!
[04:13] ---
    Chika...
[04:14] ---
    How are your wounds?
[04:15] ---
    They still hurt, of course, but...
[04:24] ---
    You got turned back to normal all right.
    Great.
[04:28] ---
    Uh-huh! Because of you, Osamu-kun!
    Thank you very much!
[04:33] ---
    Well, you got transformed
    because of me in the first place...
[04:36] ---
    And, um, it wasn't just me
    that tried hard...
[04:39] ---
    I was just carried along in it...
[04:42] ---
    Looks like some things are
    still a ways off for you.
[04:44] ---
    What?
[04:45] ---
    Never mind.
[04:47] ---
    That aside, Chika...
[04:50] ---
    How's Kuga?
[04:52] ---
    Kuga-kun?
    I haven't seen that boy yet.
[04:58] ---
    Well...
[05:00] ---
    Yuma-kun says he has things to do
    and he hasn't come here lately.
[05:06] ---
    But if he hears you woke up,
    I'm sure he'll come tomorrow!
[05:17] ---

[05:32] ---
    I haven't really slept enough...
[05:34] ---
    Whew...
[05:36] ---
    Alright, since you just woke up,
    let's just get to the point.
[05:41] ---

[05:46] ---
    Distinguished Service Awards?

    About Replica...
[11:49] ---
    Shiori-chan and the others said...
[11:51] ---
    if Replica were dead,
    this Mini-Replica would've vanished.
[11:57] ---
    That means, as long as this is around,
    he's alive.
[12:03] ---
    They were researching for me for days
    until today so it's no mistake.
[12:08] ---
    Replica is alive.
[12:10] ---
    We can see him again
    once we get to Aftokrator.
[12:15] ---
    Now we got another reason
    to become A-Rank.
[12:20] ---
    Kuga was...
[12:22] ---
    He was...
[12:23] ---
    Yuma-kun says he has things to do...
[12:26] ---
    Taking so much trouble
    not to make me feel bad...
[12:33] ---
    Kuga...
[12:35] ---
    I'm sorry...
[12:41] ---
    Because I wasn't strong enough...
[12:43] ---
    This is goodbye.
    Take care of Yuma.
[12:46] ---
    Replica has...
[12:47] ---
    No.
[12:49] ---
    I told Replica.
[12:52] ---
    To save Osamu and Chika.
[12:54] ---
    He responded perfectly to my request.
    That's what I'd expect from my partner.
[13:00] ---
    So you don't have to apologize.
[13:02] ---
    We should rather be complimenting Replica.
[13:05] ---
    He pulled it off with
    just half of his body.
[13:24] ---
    Don't cry.
[13:28] ---
    It's just my wounds hurt...
[13:34] ---
    Hi. Welcome back.
[13:36] ---
    Mikumo-kun.
[13:37] ---
    You are...
[13:39] ---
    A Border executive...
[13:41] ---
    I'm Karasawa in charge of external affairs
    and business. Long time no see.
[13:45] ---
    Would you like to go out with me for
    a bit? I got your doctors' permission.
[13:50] ---
    What?
[13:56] ---
    Osamu?
[13:57] ---
    Yuma-kun.
[13:59] ---
    What are you doing?
    Are you going out?
[14:02] ---
    - Oh, well...
    - Are you his family?
[14:05] ---
    I'm Karasawa from Border. I need to
    take Mikumo-kun somewhere for a while.
[14:10] ---
    He's injured. He can't go out yet...
[14:13] ---
    I got his doctors' permission
    just in case but...
[14:16] ---
    if you have concerns, I'll fix you up
    with a car so come with us, Sister-san...
[14:20] ---
    - Mother.
    - Mother.
[14:22] ---
    What? You're... his... mother?
[14:25] ---
    - Mother.
    - Mother.
[14:29] ---
    A press conference?
[14:29] ---
    Border
    Press Conference
    1 PM
[14:30] ---
    We'll report the results of
    the defensive battle.
[14:34] ---
    Six people were killed
    in the operations center
[14:36] ---
    and a total of 32 C-Rankers
    were kidnapped.
[14:40] ---
    We'll get grilled over it.
[14:42] ---
    32 C-Rankers?!
[14:45] ---
    Let's go.
    We can enter from the back.
[14:48] ---
    That concludes our report.
[14:50] ---
    There are precise numbers
    on the handouts
[14:54] ---
    so please see them also.
[14:57] ---
    I'd like to invite any questions.
[15:00] ---
    I'm Isoda from Nichiasa.
[15:02] ---
    The fact that there were some victims
    inside Border...
[15:05] ---
    raises questions regarding Border's
    defense capability, I think.
[15:09] ---
    Could you give us your take on that?
[15:15] ---
    First, we offer our condolences for
    the families of the six staff members...
[15:19] ---
    who were killed in the line of duty.
[15:22] ---
    They were all competent staff and great
    individuals. The fact we lost them,
[15:27] ---
    in addition to the 32 missing trainees,
[15:31] ---
    weighs heavily on us and
    we feel chagrined by it.
[15:36] ---
    Now, looking at the losses,
[15:38] ---
    what do we think about our lack of
    defensive capability was your question.
[15:46] ---
    In conclusion, we don't think
    we're lacking it at all.
[15:54] ---
    Please take a look at the handouts again.
[15:57] ---
    The scale of the latest battle was
    calculated at about eight times larger...
[16:02] ---
    than the first Neighbor invasion
    four and a half years ago.
[16:05] ---
    Despite that,
[16:07] ---
    the losses this time, in fact,
    were minimized to a fortieth!
[16:12] ---
    Having said that, there were casualties
    so we can't say it was the best result.
[16:18] ---
    That number, however, is an unexpectedly
    bigger accomplishment that shows...
[16:22] ---
    our years of preparations
    came to fruition, we think.
[16:29] ---
    Kato from Tohto.
[16:31] ---
    You sounded like a little less than
    40 people's lives are...
[16:34] ---
    the margin of error because
    the scale of battle was big.
[16:38] ---
    My friend's son is
    among those missing 32 people.
[16:43] ---
    Can you say this in good faith
    to his parents?
[16:46] ---
    I'm sorry but what I did was report
    the results in objective terms.
[16:52] ---
    I think our regret, compensation,
    and emotion towards each victim...
[16:58] ---
    must be prescinded from
    other discussions. Don't you think so?
[17:03] ---
    Looks like they are blaming Border.
[17:06] ---
    When a terrible thing happens,
    people tend to blame it on somebody.
[17:09] ---
    If it weren't for Border, hundreds of
    times more people would've died.
[17:13] ---
    They all know it.
[17:15] ---
    That's why Border's side is composed
[17:18] ---
    and the press is frustrated.
[17:20] ---
    Please note the 32 missing trainees were
    on duty helping civilians...
[17:24] ---
    to evacuate, very close to the battlefront
    where the Neighbors were closing in.
[17:30] ---
    They stayed there at the risk of
    their lives, to the end.
[17:34] ---
    We believe their actions led to
    the lack of civilian deaths.
[17:38] ---
    There is no way
    we would disregard their existence.
[17:41] ---
    We were able to protect citizens
    because of their sacrifices.
[17:46] ---
    Couldn't you prevent those sacrifices?
[17:50] ---
    I heard Border has Triggers for
    emergency escape.
[17:53] ---
    Why didn't you equip those trainees
    with them?!
[17:57] ---
    Because we don't have enough Triggers!
[18:00] ---
    We'd equip everyone with them if we could!
[18:03] ---
    To make one Trigger for emergency escape,
[18:06] ---
    we need money, materials, and manpower!
[18:08] ---
    Do you think they grow on trees?!
[18:12] ---
    Think twice before you ask!
[18:16] ---
    I'm Ishino from Mikado TV.
[18:19] ---
    They only targeted the trainees -
    does it mean...
[18:22] ---
    the Neighbors knew that the trainees
    can't make an emergency escape?
[18:28] ---
    The trainees are only allowed to
    use Triggers inside the base.
[18:33] ---
    So basically, there is no way for the
    Neighbors to know our Trigger situation.
[18:39] ---
    Are you sure?
[18:41] ---
    At the beginning of last month, a Neighbor
    emerged in Mikado City Third Junior High.
[18:46] ---
    There were some witnesses who said
    a trainee who happened to be there,
[18:50] ---
    used his Trigger and fought it.
[18:53] ---
    Is it possible that's how
    the Neighbors found it out?
[18:58] ---
    We know about that incident,
    of course.
[19:01] ---
    But it's too hasty to say
    that was the cause...
[19:05] ---
    What's the penalty for that rule breaker?!
[19:07] ---
    Answer!
[19:09] ---
    Whether it's relevant to this case or not,
    he violated the rule...
[19:14] ---
    to save his classmates...
[19:17] ---
    Here we go.
[19:19] ---
    That reporter was planted
    by Netsuki-san.
[19:21] ---
    What?
[19:22] ---
    His role is to draw their attention to
    one agent instead of the whole of Border.
[19:28] ---
    If we dismiss them empty-handed,
    we can't predict what they'll report.
[19:31] ---
    So we provide them good material.
[19:34] ---
    So they're laying all the blame
    on Osamu, huh?
[19:42] ---
    Osamu-kun... Are you okay?
[19:50] ---
    You brought me here to show me this?
[19:53] ---
    Yes.
[19:55] ---
    It was decided in the meeting
    prior to this.
[19:58] ---
    I feel sorry
    that you didn't know anything.
[20:02] ---
    What do you wanna do, Osamu?
    Shall we kick that old man's butt?
[20:07] ---
    I can't do anything.
[20:09] ---
    If what they said was true,
[20:12] ---
    it is my fault.
[20:14] ---
    Osamu, you...
[20:16] ---
    make up some stupid lies.
[20:19] ---
    Did they fix your stubbornness, too,
    at the hospital?
[20:23] ---
    Mikumo-kun,
[20:25] ---
    if a similar incident happened again...
[20:28] ---
    what would you do?
[20:30] ---
    I would...
[20:32] ---
    Kuga. Sorry.
[20:36] ---
    I gotta go.
[20:38] ---
    Yeah. Go.
[20:45] ---
    You two are a good pair.
[20:47] ---
    Karasawa-san,
    why do you take Osamu's side?
[20:51] ---
    It's not like I'm taking his side.
[20:54] ---
    It's just...
[20:55] ---
    If I saw someone being
    attacked in front of me...
[21:00] ---
    I would still go to save them.
[21:04] ---
    A hero should be given a chance
    to fight back, too, right?
[21:09] ---
    Why are you here?!
[21:16] ---
    After this, we'll explain about
    the Border executives!
[21:19] ---
    WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
[21:21] ---
    Four-Eyes is in big trouble...
[21:21] ---
    About the Border executives
[21:24] ---
    Hey, Jin-san, that man - Netsuki,
    which side is he on?
[21:28] ---
    Of course, he's on Border's side.
    But...
[21:31] ---
    he's the PR Director.
[21:31] ---
    PR Director
[21:34] ---
    PR Director?
[21:36] ---
    TV, radio, and the internet...
[21:36] ---
    TV / Radio / Internet
[21:39] ---
    His job is to improve Border's image
    using those advertising media.
[21:44] ---
    Hmm hmm.
[21:45] ---
    Border is regarded quite favorably
    in Mikado City
[21:49] ---
    because of Netsuki-san
    and the others' efforts.
[21:51] ---
    I see. That's why he weighed
    one agent and...
[21:53] ---
    Priority
    Border's whole reputation
[21:54] ---
    the whole of Border's reputation
    against each other
[21:57] ---
    Lighter Heavier
[21:57] ---
    and decided to cut Osamu off.
[21:59] ---
    That's mature judgment.
[22:01] ---
    And who is the chubby old man
    who sits next to him often?
[22:05] ---
    He's always kind of bossy.
[22:07] ---
    Kinuta-san, huh?
    He's HQ R&D Director.
[22:09] ---
    HQ R&D Director
[22:11] ---
    He developed the Gate Guidance Beacon
[22:11] ---
    Guidance Beacon
[22:13] ---
    and made it possible to mass-produce
    Triggers for Border.
[22:13] ---
    Mass-production of Triggers
[22:17] ---
    He might not look it
    but he's a great engineer.
[22:19] ---
    Engineer
    Cool!
    Awesome
[22:20] ---
    Hmmm... He plays a role
    as big as the size of his body.
[22:24] ---
    But, hey, Yuma.
[22:27] ---
    It's been a month and a half
    since you joined Border, right?
[22:30] ---
    You better start learning things
    other than fight stuff, even a little.
[22:35] ---
    All right, Jin-san.
[22:37] ---
    But a month and a half is like 45 days,
    isn't it?
[22:37] ---
    A month and a half
[22:39] ---
    ≒ 45 days
[22:40] ---
    It feels to me like it's been
    six months or so since I joined Border.
[22:42] ---
    Six months
[22:46] ---
    You better not think of those things!
[22:49] ---
    Just have some fried rice crackers.
[22:49] ---
    Fried Rice Crackers
[22:53] ---
    See you!
[22:56] ---
    While facing criticism
    from the irate reporters on his own,
[22:59] ---
    Osamu starts talking.
[23:01] ---
    Meanwhile at Border,
    B-Rank Wars are about to begin.
[23:05] ---
    Next on WORLD TRIGGER:
    B-Rank Wars Begin
[23:07] ---
    Trigger on!
