[00:17] ---
    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] ---
    B-Rank Wars Begin
[01:30] ---
    Tamakoma Branch
    Shooter: Osamu Mikumo (15)
[01:34] ---
    - An injured boy?
    - Who is it?
[01:36] ---
    Is he from Border?
[01:37] ---
    He got wounded in the defensive battle?
[01:40] ---
    Hey, isn't he the boy
    who they were talking about?
[01:43] ---
    PR Director:
    Eizo Netsuki (39)
[01:43] ---
    The trainee used a Trigger?
[01:46] ---
    - Mikumo-kun!
    - Hey, hey!
[01:47] ---
    Why are you here?!
    Are your wounds okay?!
[01:50] ---
    Osamu?
[01:53] ---
    Mikumo-kun?
[01:56] ---
    - I'm okay.
    - I don't think so.
[01:58] ---
    What...
[02:00] ---
    Hey...
[02:12] ---
    M-Mikumo-kun?
[02:22] ---
    My name is Osamu Mikumo.
[02:24] ---
    I'm the trainee who...
[02:26] ---
    used a Trigger at school last month,
    like you were just talking about.
[02:30] ---
    What the...
[02:32] ---
    If you have any questions,
    I'll answer them myself.
[02:35] ---
    - That's what I thought!
    - Was it him?!
[02:42] ---
    S-So he's the principal cause of
    the recent...
[02:45] ---
    I need you to stop blaming our agent
    based on speculations!
[02:47] ---
    HQ Director:
    Masafumi Shinoda (33)
[02:49] ---
    He's an official agent now.
[02:51] ---
    Regarding the violation of
    Agent Regulations,
[02:54] ---
    a ruling has already been made
    more than a month ago.
[02:58] ---
    Y-Yes, he's right.
[03:00] ---
    Um, it's not nice to gang up
    on a boy...
[03:05] ---
    - He wants to talk!
    - Let him speak!
[03:08] ---
    Yeah!
    We wanna hear what he has to say!
[03:08] ---
    Tamakoma Branch Director:
    Takumi Rindo
[03:11] ---
    Osamu,
    are you really gonna be okay?
[03:13] ---
    Yes, I'm gonna be fine.
[03:16] ---
    But I may cause some trouble for Border.
[03:20] ---
    Maybe. Well, don't worry about it.
    Do as you like.
[03:26] ---
    Um, alright, we'll invite any questions.
[03:29] ---
    - Here!
    - Oh, go ahead.
[03:31] ---
    Thank you.
[03:32] ---
    Um, you said you were the one...
[03:34] ---
    who used a Trigger at school last month,
    correct?
[03:38] ---
    Yes.
[03:39] ---
    - Are you sure?
    - Yes.
[03:41] ---
    You knew that action was a violation of
    Border's regulations, didn't you?
[03:45] ---
    I knew.
[03:46] ---
    He said you already got punished for it.
[03:49] ---
    But there is a suspicion that
    the enemy might've found out about...
[03:53] ---
    the trainees' Trigger situation
    because of your action.
[03:55] ---
    What do you have to say about that?
[03:59] ---
    The Abnormal Gate opened at school
    that day - which means...
[04:03] ---
    there must be a Rad around there.
[04:06] ---
    When I look back now,
    that could be true.
[04:12] ---
    He's foolishly honest as always.
[04:15] ---
    "When I look back now"?! Don't you
    understand the gravity of the situation?!
[04:20] ---
    32 people are missing!
[04:23] ---
    I think I understand.
[04:24] ---
    Then, how could you say
    "when I look back now"?!
[04:27] ---
    Did you think people would accept
    such an excuse?!
[04:30] ---
    I'm not intending to make an excuse.
[04:32] ---
    I'd still have used a Trigger even if I'd
    known they'd get the information, I think.
[04:38] ---
    The situation was that critical.
[04:40] ---
    E-Even if there could be more victims?!
[04:44] ---
    Yes.
[04:46] ---
    Even if there's a possibility of
    more damage in the future,
[04:50] ---
    I don't think that's a good reason
    to give up on the people in front of you.
[04:55] ---
    - Here!
    - Go ahead.
[04:56] ---
    What you're saying is great
    but the problem is...
[04:59] ---
    you were a trainee at that time.
[05:02] ---
    If you were an official agent,
[05:05] ---
    you could've saved your schoolmates
    without giving away the Trigger info.
[05:09] ---
    Don't you think so?
[05:11] ---
    If you wanted to be a hero,
    you should've followed orders
[05:14] ---
    and become an official agent first,
    isn't that right?
[05:19] ---
    We'd encounter a crossroads of fate
    no matter what situation we're in.
[05:24] ---
    If I wait until everything is ready,
    I won't be able to do anything in my life!
[05:30] ---
    I'm not a hero. I can't deliver the
    results that'd make everyone happy.
[05:35] ---
    I'll just do whatever I have to do
    at the moment, to not have regrets later.
[05:39] ---
    You want us to have mercy
    because you're unfledged?
[05:42] ---
    You don't look like you're sorry!
[05:44] ---
    What about the victims
    and their families?!
[05:46] ---
    Don't you feel guilty at all?!
[05:48] ---
    Those reporters...
[05:50] ---
    I wish I could hit them
    with a stick or something.
[05:54] ---
    Can't you be a little more humble?
[05:58] ---
    Listening to what you've got to say,
    I think you're just turning defiant.
[06:02] ---
    What we wanna hear is about
    those 32 who went missing because of you.
[06:07] ---
    How are you going to make up for the lives
    of those youths who got kidnapped?
[06:12] ---
    What do you think?! How are you going to
    take responsibility for it?!
[06:19] ---
    I'll get them back!
[06:25] ---
    I'll go and get back -
    everybody's families and friends!
[06:30] ---
    There's no need to tell me about
    taking responsibility!
[06:33] ---
    It's the obvious thing to do!
[06:34] ---
    - What?!
    - Go and get them back?!
[06:37] ---
    - What does he mean?
    - Will he go to the Neighbor world?!
[06:40] ---
    I-Idiot! Stop babbling...
[06:43] ---
    Oh?
    Don't they know about away missions?
[06:46] ---
    No, away missions to the Neighborhood
    are confidential.
[06:51] ---
    But the tide has turned.
[06:54] ---
    - Explain it to us!
    - How will you get them back?!
[06:57] ---
    Does it mean you can
    go to the Neighbor world?!
[07:00] ---
    As he just mentioned,
[07:04] ---
    we at Border are proceeding with a mission
    to recover people who've been taken.
[07:10] ---
    We already succeeded with unmanned
    round-trip trials to the Neighbor world.
[07:16] ---
    C-Commander Kido!
[07:18] ---
    Oh, I see. He wants to make it
    like we haven't gone yet.
[07:22] ---
    A-Are you saying you'll send agents
    to the Neighbor world?!
[07:25] ---
    Isn't it dangerous?! To save those 32,
    there could be more victims...
[07:30] ---
    More?
[07:31] ---
    Oh yeah.
[07:31] ---
    HQ Commander, Chief Executive:
    Masamune Kido (42)
[07:33] ---
    You people would prefer us to
    look ahead to the future
[07:37] ---
    and turn our back on
    those mere 32 people.
[07:42] ---
    In this recovery mission,
[07:44] ---
    we're aiming to save not just
    those 32 who got kidnapped this time
[07:48] ---
    but the more than 400 civilians who went
    missing during the first invasion.
[07:54] ---
    It's going to be the largest,
    long-term project ever for Border.
[08:00] ---
    We are at the stage of
    seeking military power now.
[08:03] ---
    I mean, agents who'll fight at a
    battlefront and staff that'll help them.
[08:08] ---
    And we want this city to be a foundation
    to support the organization.
[08:13] ---
    We're expecting civilians to understand
    and get involved with the recovery project
[08:17] ---
    as well as our conventional
    defense activities.
[08:20] ---
    That's all.
[08:23] ---
    By the way, how will you pick
    the members of the recovery mission?
[08:27] ---
    He - this Mikumo-kun - will be a member?
[08:32] ---
    First, we'll be calling for volunteers
    from among our agents
[08:34] ---
    A-Rank
    B-Rank
    C-Rank
[08:35] ---
    and we'll select from them.
[08:38] ---
    They'll be, basically, A-Rank or above and
    additionally there'll be a selection test.
[08:43] ---
    Whether he can participate
    in the away mission or not is...
[08:46] ---
    simply dependent upon
    his meeting the requirements.
[08:50] ---
    Yes. I know.
[08:52] ---
    Why don't you leave now?
[08:55] ---
    You have to get healed first.
[08:57] ---
    Yes.
[08:58] ---
    I got breaking news!
[08:59] ---
    The mission to take back
    the kidnapped people!
[09:02] ---
    - It's got to be a top story, chief!
    - Public opinion will be split!
[09:08] ---
    Good job. Is your body okay?
[09:11] ---
    Oh, yes, it's fine.
[09:13] ---
    - Welcome back, Osamu-kun.
    - You did great.
[09:16] ---
    Yeah, it was quite a speech.
[09:20] ---
    Speech?
[09:22] ---
    You almost died but
    you're still gonna continue.
[09:26] ---
    Mother...
[09:27] ---
    Six months ago,
[09:29] ---
    when you brought me
    an application,
[09:32] ---
    I strongly opposed to it, remember?
[09:35] ---
    When I heard you got seriously injured,
    I thought "See? I told you."
[09:40] ---
    But strangely,
[09:42] ---
    none of the visitors who saw you
    badly injured and in a coma, said,
[09:47] ---
    "You have to tell him to quit Border."
[09:51] ---
    What?
[09:52] ---
    I was wondering why but...
[09:55] ---
    I understood a little bit
    by watching you today.
[10:01] ---
    Since you joined Border, you look like
    you found what you've got to do.
[10:07] ---
    Do as you like. It's your life.
[10:10] ---
    But when you truly get fed up with it,
    let me know.
[10:14] ---
    I'll bring you back even if I need to
    place a leash around your neck.
[10:19] ---
    Thank you, mother.
[10:21] ---
    You have to work hard
    since you talked big, Osamu.
[10:24] ---
    I was gonna do it
    right from the start.
[10:26] ---
    First, moving up to A-Rank.
    Let's do it, partner!
[10:31] ---
    Yeah, count on me.
[10:32] ---
    This is great. Osamu-kun. Yuma-kun.
[10:37] ---
    You're back.
    You're a hero after all.
[10:45] ---
    Well, at any rate,
    you spoke pretty boastfully.
[10:48] ---
    If you don't get selected,
    you'll bring shame to Tamakoma.
[10:53] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry...
    I knew I'd cause you trouble.
[10:57] ---
    That's okay. I told you to do as you like.
    That was good.
[11:01] ---
    Well...
[11:03] ---
    I'm glad that you got out of the hospital.
    But don't push yourself yet.
[11:07] ---
    Yes.
[11:07] ---
    What did you summon us for, today?
    To celebrate Osamu's getting well?
[11:11] ---
    Oh, that's a good idea!
[11:12] ---
    I love the idea but more importantly,
    the B-Rank Wars will begin.
[11:16] ---
    Oh, I don't have enough points, do I?
[11:19] ---
    Yeah, that was the problem but I'm
    thinking about moving you up to B-Rank.
[11:25] ---
    By transferring the points that Osamu
    and Yuma were granted for your services.
[11:30] ---
    - Oh!
    - Can you do that?
[11:33] ---
    Of course, it's uncommon.
[11:35] ---
    In this case, some people
    at the upper level are suggesting...
[11:38] ---
    to let Chika have
    the bail out function as an exception.
[11:41] ---
    It's mainly Kinuta-san.
[11:44] ---
    Well, as Border, they can't leave
    the problem with Chika's Trion alone.
[11:50] ---
    Yuma, you'll lose
    some of your bonus points
[11:52] ---
    so I need you to move up
    to B-Rank on your own.
[11:55] ---
    It's totally okay with me.
    No problem at all.
[11:58] ---
    Osamu?
[11:59] ---
    I don't have a problem, of course.
[12:01] ---
    Good.
[12:01] ---
    Both of you, thank you.
[12:03] ---
    By the way, what are you guys gonna do
    about your operator?
[12:07] ---
    Oh, we have to think about it.
[12:10] ---
    There is a prospect, actually.
    You wanna see her? She's quite skillful.
[12:14] ---
    - We'd definitely like to see her!
    - Thank you!
[12:19] ---
    What's up!
[12:19] ---
    Tamakoma Branch
    Operator: Shiori Usami (17)
[12:21] ---
    I'm the skillful operator!
[12:23] ---
    - Shiori-san!
    - Usami senpai?!
[12:26] ---
    Didn't see that coming.
[12:27] ---
    Problem?
[12:28] ---
    No, we don't have any!
    We'd like to work with you!
[12:31] ---
    I'd like that, too!
[12:52] ---
    "For what" do you live?
[12:52] ---
    nan no tame ikite iruno?
[12:56] ---
    The unanswered question
    loops around again today
[12:56] ---

    "For who?"
    The echoing voices

    I can't reach reality

    I glared at tomorrow, then my sight

SIGN    Chika Amatori
    Age: 13
    Birthday: February 11
    Height: 140 cm
    Blood type: A
    Zodiac sign: Amphibious
    Likes: Small animals, kids,
    white rice, working
[14:11] ---
    As Branch Director Rindo planned,
[14:14] ---
    Kuga entered the solo Rank Wars
    to move up to B-Rank on his own.
[14:19] ---
    There's something we wanna say to you.
[14:23] ---
    We survived the large-scale invasion
    so we're different from our old selves!
[14:27] ---
    Yeah, it's not too much to say
    we're on the same level as you.
[14:31] ---
    100 simulations aren't worth
    one actual fight! Get it?
[14:37] ---
    We experienced an actual fight
    and we're different now. Be prepared.
[14:42] ---
    - No way!
    - In an instant?!
[14:45] ---
    Leader! Saotome! I'll do it!
    Getting over your deaths!
[14:50] ---
    Bail...
[14:52] ---
    out!
[14:53] ---
    Oh, that was fast.
[14:56] ---
    That's my Kuga!
[14:57] ---
    Now, Yuma-kun has enough points.
[15:00] ---
    Yes.
[15:01] ---
    Then, it's time to unveil
    Tamakoma-2 finally.
[15:05] ---
    Run wild as official agents,
    in the Rank Wars!
[15:08] ---
    Yes!
[15:17] ---
    Oh, you couldn't get
    the squad uniforms in time.
[15:20] ---
    Yes.
[15:21] ---
    Well, that could wait until
    the three of us fight together.
[15:25] ---
    - Uh-huh.
    - You're right.
[15:27] ---
    I'm counting on you two.
[15:28] ---
    Yeah.
[15:30] ---
    See you later.
[15:32] ---
    All right! We're gonna go!
[15:34] ---
    Take care of them.
[15:38] ---
    Mikumo-kun.
[15:39] ---
    Oh, Commander Kido.
[15:41] ---
    Congratulations for forming a B-Rank team.
    How are your wounds?
[15:46] ---
    T-They're fine.
[15:47] ---
    I'll participate in the Rank Wars
    from next week.
[15:50] ---
    I see.
[15:54] ---
    About the press conference
    the other day...
[15:57] ---
    Now that you're almost healed,
[16:00] ---
    would you like to say something?
[16:03] ---
    No, I wouldn't.
[16:05] ---
    I know that was another way
    "to fight."
[16:09] ---
    However,
[16:11] ---
    if you pull the same kind of thing
    using Kuga or Chika, I won't forgive you.
[16:21] ---
    I see. I'll keep it in mind.
[16:25] ---
    Oh, let me tell you one thing.
[16:29] ---
    Branch Director Rindo and HQ Director
    Shinoda weren't involved with it.
[16:34] ---
    If they knew,
    they wouldn't have let us do such a thing.
[16:39] ---
    Good luck. In achieving your goal.
[16:46] ---
    Good evening, Border!
[16:49] ---
    B-Rank No.18, Ebina Squad
    Operator: Sakurako Taketomi (15)
[16:49] ---
    I'm the operator of Ebina Squad,
    Sakurako Taketomi.
[16:52] ---
    B-Rank Wars,
    the new season is about to begin!
[16:55] ---
    I'll do the play-by-play
    for this first night! Stay with us!
[17:00] ---
    Now, for commentary tonight,
    we have...
[17:02] ---
    a guy famous for his line;
    "Did you see my Double Snipe?"
[17:05] ---
    Satori senpai from Arashiyama Squad.
[17:05] ---
    A-Rank No.5, Arashiyama Squad
    Sniper: Ken Satori (16)
[17:07] ---
    Thank you, thank you.
[17:09] ---
    And we also have a guy whose squad
    makes a debut in the B-Rank Wars today.
[17:13] ---
    Captain Mikumo of Tamakoma-2!
[17:16] ---
    Th... Thank you...
[17:18] ---
    Since Captain Mikumo isn't contending
    today due to his injuries,
[17:22] ---
    we invited him here with us.
[17:24] ---
    I-I'm looking forward to
    doing this with you.
[17:27] ---
    Oh!
[17:28] ---
    While we were talking,
    they started sending the agents in.
[17:28] ---
    Begin Transmission
    016 Yoshizato Squad
    017 Mamiya Squad
    021 Tamakoma-2 (Mikumo Squad)
[17:31] ---
    Since the captain is here,
[17:34] ---
    we'll focus on Tamakoma-2 tonight!
[17:38] ---
    - What?
    - Alright?!
[17:39] ---
    - Okay.
    - Y-Yeah...
[17:41] ---
    Since this is the first day,
    Satori senpai,
[17:44] ---
    could you explain about the B-Rank Wars
    briefly?
[17:47] ---
    Okay, Sakurako-chan.
[17:49] ---
    As you know, B-Rank is divided into
    three groups; top, middle, and bottom.
[17:55] ---
    There are 21 teams in total now
    so exactly seven teams in each.
[17:59] ---
    And we do three or four-way team battles
    within a group
[18:03] ---
    trying to earn as many points as we can.
[18:05] ---
    How you earn a point is very simple.
[18:07] ---
    You get one point for taking down an agent
    from other teams.
[18:10] ---
    The team that survives at the end
    will get two bonus points. That's it.
[18:15] ---
    B-Rank No.21
[18:15] ---
    So everybody, earn points, work your
    way up and aim for the higher group!
[18:19] ---
    B-Rank No.1
[18:20] ---
    B-Rank No.1 and 2 will be given
    the opportunity to challenge A-Rank!
[18:24] ---
    Good luck!
[18:25] ---
    That's all!
[18:26] ---
    Satori senpai, thank you very much!
[18:29] ---
    - Let me add one thing...
    - Oh?
[18:31] ---
    The teams in a higher place last season...
[18:34] ---
    are given initial bonus points
    based on their placings.
[18:37] ---
    So they have advantages.
[18:39] ---
    That's it, that's it!
    It's like seeding.
[18:41] ---
    I see. There are initial bonuses.
[18:42] ---
    Previous Placing Initial Bonus
[18:44] ---
    Now, Yoshizato Squad, Mamiya Squad,
    and Tamakoma-2 have sent in!
[18:49] ---
    The battle has already begun!
[18:51] ---
    Is Tamakoma-2 a bunch of grade-schoolers?
    How could they get to B-Rank?
[18:55] ---
    Well, some say they're no ordinary team.
[18:58] ---
    Yoshizato and Mamiya have
    all three members.
[19:01] ---
    What is Tamakoma-2's plan?
[19:03] ---
    I-I left it in our operator's hands.
[19:06] ---
    - What about your inferiority in numbers?
    - Y-Yes.
[19:09] ---
    It should be fine.
[19:10] ---
    There he comes!
[19:12] ---
    When he stops moving, we'll make
    concentrated attacks! Don't rush!
[19:15] ---
    Okay!
[19:16] ---
    - He's not stopping!
    - No way!
[19:26] ---
    S-So fast!
[19:27] ---
    Yoshizato Squad got eliminated
    instantly?!
[19:30] ---
    Wh-What?! What was that move?!
    That doesn't like a bottom B-Ranker!
[19:34] ---
    Oh, Kuga from Tamakoma is...
[19:36] ---
    - Now, Yoshizato Squad bailed out!
    - Whoa-whoa. Relax, relax.
[19:39] ---
    What will Mamiya Squad do?!
[19:41] ---
    We didn't expect it'd go like this!
[19:44] ---
    He was the one everybody was talking about
    after defeating Midorikawa.
[19:46] ---
    We shouldn't go face-to-face.
[19:48] ---
    Oh, they're not moving. Mamiya Squad is
    hiding themselves and not making any move!
[19:53] ---
    - That's called "Waiting"?
    - Waiting?
[19:55] ---
    When he approaches,
    they'll shoot him at once, I think.
[19:58] ---
    I see!
[20:00] ---
    Mamiya Squad is all shooters.
[20:02] ---
    The three's simultaneous full attack
    called "Hound Storm" is very powerful!
[20:07] ---
    He can't go for them inattentively!
[20:09] ---
    Well, I don't know...
[20:12] ---
    Chika-chan.
[20:13] ---
    Could you shoot the building?
[20:16] ---
    Okay.
[20:22] ---
    There is the giant one!
[20:33] ---
    Wh-What a shocking result...
[20:36] ---
    The sniper, Agent Amatori shatters
    the obstacle with Ibis!
[20:40] ---
    I mean, it was ridiculously powerful!
[20:43] ---
    Including two survival points,
    Tamakoma-2 earned eight points at once!
[20:48] ---
    So strong! This team is very strong!
[20:52] ---
    With this battle, they leap to No.12
    provisionally!
[20:56] ---
    They got in the middle group already!
[20:56] ---
    012 Tamakoma-2
[20:58] ---
    How far can Tamakoma-2 go like this?!
[21:02] ---
    Um, their opponents for
    the second battle on Wednesday are...
[21:07] ---
    Provisionally No.10, Arafune Squad!
[21:10] ---
    And provisionally No.8, Suwa Squad!
[21:12] ---
    This is quite an interesting matchup!
[21:15] ---
    The new stars in B-Rank!
    Don't miss their next battle!
[21:20] ---
    After this, we'll explain about
    the B-Rank Wars!
[21:23] ---
    WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
[21:24] ---
    About the B-Rank Wars
    World Trigger
[21:25] ---
    Hi!
[21:27] ---
    Hey, Yuma-kun! When somebody says hi
    to you, you say hi!
[21:31] ---
    Is that so?
[21:32] ---
    Never mind...
    That aside, we did it!
[21:36] ---
    Tamakoma-2
[21:36] ---
    Tamakoma-2 earned eight points
    including survival points!
[21:38] ---
    Earned 8 points!!
    (Including survival points)
[21:41] ---
    We leaped to No.12 provisionally!
[21:42] ---
    Provisionally No.12
[21:43] ---
    We're already in the middle group!
[21:46] ---
    Hmm...
[21:47] ---
    "Hmm"?
    You basically don't show much reaction.
[21:51] ---
    But I'm happy with our team winning
    and moving up.
[21:55] ---
    Right?
[21:56] ---
    In order to move up to A-Rank, the record
    of the B-Rank Wars is important.
[21:58] ---
    B-Rank Wars
[22:01] ---
    There are, really, so many people
    in B-Rank.
[22:05] ---
    There are 21 teams now and...
[22:05] ---
    21 teams
[22:07] ---
    they're divided into three groups;
    top, middle, and bottom. Seven teams each.
[22:08] ---
    Top / Middle / Bottom
[22:12] ---
    And we moved up to just in the middle
    after today's match.
[22:15] ---
    Middle
[22:17] ---
    Hmm hmm.
[22:19] ---
    In addition,
[22:20] ---
    if you can end up No.1 or 2 of
    the top group among the three groups,
[22:23] ---
    Top group
[22:25] ---
    you will be given the opportunity
    to challenge A-Rank teams!
[22:26] ---
    Opportunity to challenge A-Rank
[22:29] ---
    So, if we stay in the middle group,
    we can't even challenge A-Rankers?
[22:34] ---
    That's right!
[22:36] ---
    We have to work harder then.
[22:39] ---
    Our goal is to move up to A-Rank
    and get selected for the away squads.
[22:40] ---
    Join the away squads!
[22:44] ---
    Well, to achieve that, I'll just defeat
    as many opponents as possible.
[22:50] ---
    That was kind of cool!
[22:53] ---
    See you!
[22:56] ---
    The B-Rank Wars -
    the next opponents are...
[22:58] ---
    No.10, Arafune Squad
    and No.8, Suwa Squad.
[23:01] ---
    Can Osamu and the others
    win through the B-Rank Wars?
[23:05] ---
    Next time on WORLD TRIGGER:
    Suwa Squad and Arafune Squad
[23:08] ---
    Trigger on!
