[00:17] ---
    A Border agent, Osamu Mikumo met...
[00:19] ---
    a mysterious boy, Yuma Kuga
    who claims he's a Neighbor.
[00:24] ---
    As they deepened their understanding of
    each other,
[00:27] ---
    they associated with Chika and formed
    a team in Border's Tamakoma Branch.
[00:32] ---
    Meanwhile, the largest military nation
    in the Neighborhood, Aftokrator...
[00:37] ---
    came to invade Mikado City.
[00:39] ---
    Sustaining enormous damage,
    Border made a collective effort
[00:43] ---
    and forced their retreat successfully.
[00:47] ---
    With their determination reaffirmed,
    Yuma, Osamu, and Chika are...
[00:51] ---
    aiming for A-Rank to get selected for
    the away squads to the Neighborhood.
[00:56] ---
    Therefore,
    they engage in the B-Rank Wars.
[01:02] ---
    Suwa Squad and Arafune Squad
[01:11] ---
    Oh? Karasawa-san,
    I didn't know you watch Rank Wars.
[01:17] ---
    Congratulations on the debut-match
    victory of Tamakoma-2.
[01:20] ---
    Mikumo-kun wasn't fighting today,
    was he?
[01:23] ---
    He isn't at his best yet.
[01:26] ---
    Because he pushed himself
    at the press conference.
[01:30] ---
    I'm sorry about that.
[01:32] ---
    Yotaro and Konami were angry.
[01:35] ---
    What's wrong with these people?!
    So annoying!
[01:37] ---
    It's not Osamu's fault!
    Stop picking on Osamu!
[01:45] ---
    Mostly, at Netsuki-san and the reporters.
[01:48] ---
    I see.
[01:49] ---
    Why did you take Four-Eyes there?
[01:52] ---
    Because I thought that was a waste.
[01:55] ---
    To please those who were just
    looking for someone to blame,
[01:58] ---
    making Mikumo-kun our scapegoat
    wasn't worth it in my perspective.
[02:03] ---
    You think very highly of him.
[02:06] ---
    Sort of.
[02:08] ---
    After the large-scale invasion,
    26 agents left Border.
[02:12] ---
    But after that press conference,
    we got five times as many applications.
[02:17] ---
    Companies looking to sponsor us
    increased sharply, too.
[02:20] ---
    You say that's all because of Four-Eyes?
[02:23] ---
    No, he's not that influential.
[02:26] ---
    Most of them were just driven by
    the novelty of...
[02:29] ---
    the away mission to the Neighborhood.
[02:32] ---
    In fact, they're all still talking about
    the away mission in the media.
[02:34] ---
    The Away Mission to the Neighborhood
[02:36] ---
    But he was the one who turned the tide
    like that
[02:39] ---
    and even though people like him are
    quite troublesome, some people value them.
[02:44] ---
    And I'm one of those people, Jin-kun.
[02:46] ---
    You should stop feeling depressed
    and support your kouhai.
[02:52] ---
    Mikumo-kun has a rough road ahead of him.
[03:00] ---
    I can't shift my emotional gear
    quickly like you.
[03:03] ---
    I used to play rugby so...
[03:05] ---
    Does that have anything to do with this?
[03:11] ---
    All three of us got summoned...
[03:14] ---
    Are we gonna get roasted for
    the Rank War yesterday?
[03:18] ---
    - You're thinking too much. We won.
    - He's right.
[03:22] ---
    Oh?
[03:24] ---
    - Nobody's here.
    - There's always somebody here.
[03:28] ---
    Even Shiori-san's not here.
[03:30] ---
    The branch director isn't, either.
[03:32] ---
    Raijin-maru?
[03:36] ---
    What's going on?
[03:38] ---
    Was there an emergency mobilization?
[03:40] ---
    I can't believe even Raijin-maru sortied.
[03:42] ---
    But the place is insecure.
[03:45] ---
    Let's look around again.
    There might be some leads.
[03:52] ---
    Congratulations!
[04:05] ---
    Huh?
[04:06] ---
    What's wrong, Osamu?
[04:07] ---
    This door doesn't open smoothly
    these days.
[04:10] ---
    Did you hear something?
[04:13] ---
    Oh, it opened.
[04:16] ---
    Oh, you are here.
[04:18] ---
    What are you doing?
[04:22] ---
    Congrats on
    your first victory in Rank Wars
[04:24] ---
    - Yeah!
    - Yeah!
[04:26] ---
    You did great.
[04:27] ---
    Thanks.
[04:28] ---
    - Thank you very much!
    - Thank you very much!
[04:30] ---
    Guys! Once again, congratulations on
    your first victory yesterday!
[04:34] ---
    As your senpai, I'm very proud of you!
[04:38] ---
    It's no wonder because I trained you guys.
[04:40] ---
    It is my great honor.
[04:42] ---
    Alright, you guys,
    have a pleasant talk for a while.
[04:46] ---
    We ordered those donuts to snack on
    especially for you...
[04:49] ---
    from the grocery store
    where Torimaru works.
[04:52] ---
    Aye, aye, how marvelous it is...
[04:54] ---
    But you need to stay sharp.
[04:56] ---
    Unlike the bottom group you beat,
[04:59] ---
    the B-Rank middle group
    that you'll fight next is quite so-so.
[05:03] ---
    Each squad has its own strategy
    and they sure can fight.
[05:07] ---
    "Quite so-so"?
[05:09] ---
    Hmm. How about the top group?
[05:11] ---
    The top group is very so-so.
[05:14] ---
    Each squad has an A-Rank-level ace.
[05:18] ---
    Some squads were once A-Rank.
[05:20] ---
    They're the reserves for A-Rank
    both in name and practice.
[05:23] ---
    What about A-Rank?
[05:24] ---
    A-Rank? A-Rank is...
[05:28] ---
    A-Rank is?
[05:29] ---
    A... A-Rank is...
[05:33] ---
    all-out so-so.
[05:34] ---
    They're all "so-so" then.
[05:36] ---
    Konami senpai hates to give up...
[05:39] ---
    In fact, the B-Rank middle group isn't
    easy opponents.
[05:44] ---
    They have more experience in battles
    than Chika and Osamu, of course.
[05:47] ---
    Yes.
[05:48] ---
    So what kind of teams are Suwa Squad
    and Arafune Squad that we fight next?
[05:53] ---
    - Suwa Squad is...
    - Kyosuke.
[05:55] ---
    Don't tell them everything.
    Let them do research themselves.
[05:59] ---
    Reiji-san.
[06:00] ---
    There are data from past Rank Wars
    in the Operation Room.
[06:04] ---
    Look into it until Usami comes.
[06:05] ---
    - Yes!
    - Roger!
[06:07] ---
    Okay. Let's go.
[06:08] ---
    Isn't that a little strict?
[06:10] ---
    Working out strategy themselves
    is part of their training.
[06:14] ---
    Their fight is already beginning.
[06:16] ---
    Search in progress
[06:18] ---
    Data found
[06:19] ---
    Oh, there it is.
[06:20] ---
    Suwa Squad.
    In the recent large-scale invasion,

[06:56] ---

[06:57] ---
    - O-sano?
    - O-sa-no?
[06:59] ---
    No, I think it's O-sa-no.
[07:03] ---
    O-sah-no?
[07:04] ---
    Osa-noh?
[07:06] ---
    The language of this country is difficult.
[07:11] ---
    Border HQ
    Lounge
[07:11] ---
    Osano.
[07:13] ---
    Isn't this Tamakoma-2
    that shrimp's team?
[07:13] ---
    B-Rank No.8 (Provisionally)
    Suwa Squad
    Gunner: Kotaro Suwa (21)
[07:17] ---
    B-Rank No.8 (Provisionally)
    Suwa Squad
    Gunner: Daichi Tsutsumi (20)
[07:17] ---
    They have Four-Eyes,
    who tied with Kazama-san.
[07:20] ---
    B-Rank No.8 (Provisionally)
    Suwa Squad
    Attacker: Hisato Sasamori (16)
[07:20] ---
    Didn't you see yesterday's match?!
    Their sniper girl is quite extraordinary!
[07:25] ---
    B-Rank No.8 (Provisionally)
    Suwa Squad
    Operator: Rui Osano (17)
[07:25] ---
    I don't know any of them!
[07:31] ---
    What was that?! It was like a cannon!
[07:34] ---
    The white-haired boy moves
    very well, too.
[07:37] ---
    They're both small.
[07:38] ---
    I heard the sniper girl is
    Reiji-san's pupil.
[07:41] ---
    What?!
[07:43] ---
    Their heights are way too different!
[07:45] ---
    What is that muscle gorilla thinking?!
[07:48] ---
    Ooh! Ooh-ooh!
[07:50] ---
    Reiji-san is a clever musclehead!
[07:52] ---
    Osano senpai, you're off track.
[07:55] ---
    If Reiji-san is her mentor,
    she must be well-grounded.
[07:59] ---
    And the white-haired boy defeated
    Midorikawa in a solo match, I heard.
[08:03] ---
    I think it was eight to two.
[08:05] ---
    Eight to two?!
[08:07] ---
    Hisato, if you have a ten-round game
    with Midorikawa, how many would you win?
[08:11] ---
    I won four once by dumb luck.
[08:16] ---
    Okay, Hisato, stall that shrimp
    for two seconds.
[08:20] ---
    Then, we'll blow him away.
[08:22] ---
    W-Will I get blown away, too?
[08:26] ---
    Next, Arafune Squad.
[08:28] ---
    In the large-scale invasion,
    they joined the B-Rank joint team
[08:31] ---
    and fought the Humanoid Neighbor.
[08:34] ---
    Captain, Sniper Tetsuji Arafune
    Squad member, Sniper Atsushi Hokari
    Squad member, Sniper Yoshito Hanzaki
[08:34] ---
    All three of them are snipers?
[08:37] ---
    Oh.
[08:37] ---
    Just snipers?!
[08:40] ---
    I wonder how they fight.
[08:43] ---
    Chika Amatori, huh?
[08:46] ---
    Unbelievably powerful!
    No matter how many times I see it.
[08:47] ---
    Border HQ
    Arafune Squad Strategy Room
[08:49] ---
    I saw her in a training.
    She was using Egret at that time.
[08:55] ---
    B-Rank No.10 (Provisionally)
    Arafune Squad
    Sniper:Tetsuji Arafune (18)
[08:55] ---
    She broke the wall of HQ, didn't she?
[08:57] ---
    B-Rank No.10 (Provisionally)
    Arafune Squad
    Sniper: Atsushi Hokari (18)
[08:57] ---
    Is she the new wave
    in the world of snipers?
[09:00] ---
    B-Rank No.10 (Provisionally)
    Arafune Squad
    Sniper: Yoshito Hanzaki (15)
[09:01] ---
    It'll be annoying if she destroys
    our sniping spots with this power.
[09:05] ---
    Should be fine.
[09:07] ---
    She's too flashy
    so we'll know where she is.
[09:09] ---
    We can get her
    before she gets another shot off.
[09:12] ---
    Yeah. You're right.
[09:14] ---
    I found Kuga-kun's data.
[09:17] ---
    From when he fought Midorikawa-kun
    in a solo match.
[09:17] ---
    B-Rank No.10 (Provisionally)
    Arafune Squad
    Operator: Rin Kagami (18)
[09:19] ---
    Mikumo-kun also fought him
    but he got defeated by zero to ten.
[09:23] ---
    Is Mikumo a shooter?
    There isn't that much data.
[09:26] ---
    I saw him in the press conference.
[09:29] ---
    Oh, that guy in the glasses...
[09:31] ---
    Take out all data there is.
    I'll burn their habits into my head.
[09:37] ---
    Now the problem is
    where they're gonna get to pick.
[09:57] ---
    nan no tame ikite iruno?
[09:57] ---
    "For what" do you live?
[10:01] ---

    The unanswered question

    Shiori Usami
    Age: 17
    Birthday: April 27
    Height: 160 cm
    Blood type: O
    Zodiac sign: Lepus
    Likes: Eyeglasses, reading,
    doing things for other people
[11:16] ---
    Hey!
[11:17] ---
    How are you guys doing?
[11:19] ---
    Shiori-san!
[11:20] ---
    Hi.
[11:22] ---
    We were looking into
    the next opponent's data.
[11:25] ---
    Good, good.
    Have you gotten a grip on how they fight?
[11:28] ---
    - Yes.
    - All right.
[11:30] ---
    Let's hear your opinion, then.
[11:33] ---
    Suwa Squad has two gunners
    and one attacker.
[11:37] ---
    They take sort of close formation.
[11:39] ---
    The two gunners' Triggers are
    shotgun type.
[11:42] ---
    It depends on power
    and it's short-ranged.
[11:44] ---
    They'll have a little gap between shots.
[11:46] ---
    Their main tactic is to close in
    on a target and just keep shooting.
[11:50] ---
    The attacker basically supports the two
    with his shield.
[11:54] ---
    But he has Chameleon
    and can make a surprise attack.
[11:56] ---
    If we put up a shield to avoid bullets,
    he'd turn invisible and come break it.
[12:02] ---
    Mm-hm, mm-hm, you pretty much got it.
    And what's your plan?
[12:06] ---
    I have no chance
    in a contest of firepower
[12:09] ---
    so I'll use long-ranged bullets
    and fend off their shotgun powers.
[12:14] ---
    It's more important not to get hit
    than to attack.
[12:16] ---
    In contrast, Kuga said it's favorable
    for him because they come close.
[12:21] ---
    If I just watch out for the invisible one,
    I'm not disadvantaged.
[12:25] ---
    Hmm... So it's important to keep an eye on
    where Sasamori-kun is.
[12:29] ---
    Chika, of course, will...
[12:30] ---
    Try not to be found it is!
[12:33] ---
    What if they find you?
[12:34] ---
    What? Ummm... If that happens...
[12:38] ---
    Here!
[12:40] ---
    I'll tell you where to run!
    There could be various situations.
[12:45] ---
    Okay!
[12:46] ---
    All three of Arafune Squad are snipers.
[12:49] ---
    In contrast to Suwa Squad's formation,
    they each keep distance from the others.
[12:53] ---
    Taking advantage of their range, they
    cooperate in both offense and defense.
[12:57] ---
    They're hard to take down for us.
[13:00] ---
    We thought about destroying them
    along with buildings using Chika's Ibis...
[13:04] ---
    But she'd stand out and take fire
    so no!
[13:06] ---
    We'll let Chika shoot
    only when it comes to the crunch.
[13:10] ---
    Yeah, sounds good.
[13:11] ---
    So the only option we got is
    get close to them somehow.
[13:15] ---
    It's a three-way fight
    so it depends on how Suwa Squad'll move.
[13:18] ---
    Oh yeah, Usami senpai, could you run
    a simulation of a virtual combat...
[13:23] ---
    using the data of Suwa Squad
    and Arafune Squad?
[13:27] ---
    I thought you'd ask
    so I'm working on it.
[13:30] ---
    He has overwhelming power and armor!
    Kotaro Suwa!
[13:33] ---
    He uses uncommonly quick slashes
    and a sharp body! Daichi Tsutsumi!
[13:37] ---
    He's irresistible to the opposite sex!
    Hisato Sasamori!
[13:39] ---
    He's curious about Daichi Tsutsumi but
    he doesn't know Daichi is his brother yet!
[13:43] ---
    Tetsuji Arafune!
[13:45] ---
    Isn't that the same as...
[13:47] ---
    the simulation program of
    the Trion soldiers you told us before?
[13:50] ---
    Now in production! Wait until next week!
[13:53] ---
    Oh, you're still making it.
[13:55] ---
    Well, it's unusable even if it's done...
[13:58] ---
    But there's still something you can do.
[14:01] ---
    We didn't use it yesterday but
    the lowest-ranked team in a match has...
[14:05] ---
    the right to choose a stage to fight.
[14:08] ---
    Tamakoma-2 ranks the lowest in the next
    match so you can pick the stage you like.
[14:10] ---
    008 Suwa Squad
    010 Arafune Squad
    012 Tamakoma-2
[14:14] ---
    I see! That's great!
[14:16] ---
    We can take advantage of the landscape
    and block off those snipers...
[14:19] ---
    Alright! We have three days left.
[14:21] ---
    Let's work out our plan
    including picking a stage!
[14:24] ---
    - Roger!
    - Roger!
[14:28] ---
    Okay. Ready?
[14:32] ---
    Oh, so this is a forest stage.
[14:35] ---
    By the way, there are some variations
    to each stage.
[14:39] ---
    Plus, you can change morning, noon,
    evening, and the weather.
[14:44] ---
    Let us see everything!
[14:45] ---
    Count on me!
[14:50] ---
    After all, considering
    our actual fighting experience,
[14:53] ---
    an urban area is the most favorable.
    But it's the same for the opponents.
[14:58] ---
    Then, maybe it's better to pick a stage...
[15:01] ---
    where Suwa Squad and Arafune Squad
    have never fought before.
[15:04] ---
    Osamu-kun, aren't you gonna eat lunch?
    Everyone else has eaten already.
[15:10] ---
    Hm? Oh... I'll be there soon.
[15:14] ---
    Today's lunch was hashed beef rice which
    Konami senpai cooked for the first time.
[15:19] ---
    It looks like curry but it's not curry!
    It was very good.
[15:24] ---
    Yeah...
[15:26] ---
    Osamu-kun?
[15:33] ---
    Osamu, are you all by yourself?
[15:35] ---
    Yes. Kuga went on defense duty
    with Reiji-san
[15:38] ---
    and I dismissed Chika for today.
[15:43] ---
    Then, why don't you go home, too?
[15:46] ---
    Why do you have to push yourself
    on your own?
[15:48] ---
    Yeah...
[15:50] ---
    But...
[15:51] ---
    Just go home!
[15:53] ---
    All right! Let go of me!
[16:00] ---
    Focuses on firing range -
    The standard type
    Egret
    Firing range: S
[16:12] ---
    A black out?
[16:17] ---
    Mother...
[16:19] ---
    Go to bed, Osamu.
[16:20] ---
    - Well but I'm still...
    - Go to bed.
[16:23] ---
    If you resist,
    I'll force you to go to bed.
[16:36] ---
    The choice of stages, weather, time...
[16:40] ---
    Our strategy relating to all that
    and what the opponents would do...
[16:45] ---
    There are too many options!
[16:48] ---
    Oh, man! I can't decide!
[16:54] ---
    Osamu! When you're stuck,
    stop thinking and look around!
[16:58] ---
    You'll find some leads!
[17:01] ---
    Yeah, in movies and manga,
[17:05] ---
    we often find a scene where they make
    a breakthrough with a mundane fact.
[17:15] ---
    Raijin-maru...
[17:28] ---
    - How's that?
    - Got an idea?!
[17:34] ---
    No, not a thing...
[17:40] ---
    - See you later!
    - Yeah.
[17:43] ---
    It's better for you to go
    take a long break.
[17:45] ---
    It's not good for you to just think.
    Get out and get exercise.
[17:50] ---
    That's so Reiji-san!
    Muscular advice!
[17:53] ---
    I'll go with you!
[17:57] ---
    Double riding is illegal.
[17:59] ---
    Let go of it, Reiji!
    Raijin-maru is an animal so...
[18:04] ---
    it's not technically double riding!
[18:07] ---
    Is that all you have to say?
[18:13] ---
    Go now! Leave the rest to us!
[18:16] ---
    O-Okay...
[18:22] ---
    Come to think of it, Yuma-kun,
    you can ride a bicycle now.
[18:26] ---
    Uh-huh.
[18:27] ---
    It's easy once you got the knack.
[18:30] ---
    Oh, wait, Kuga! Don't go too fast!
[18:34] ---
    I know!
[18:40] ---
    We came quite a long way.
[18:43] ---
    I didn't know there was such a park.
[18:45] ---
    But will I really come up with a good plan
    by doing this?
[18:51] ---
    Osamu, you need to get refreshed
    at least a little bit.
[18:55] ---
    Everyone told me so but...
[18:57] ---
    What are you guys doing here?
[19:00] ---
    Torimaru senpai.
[19:01] ---
    Why are you here?
[19:02] ---
    Mm? I'm on my way home from
    my part-time job at the grocery store.
[19:06] ---
    My manager gave me leftover sushi
    because of a mistaken order
[19:09] ---
    so I was gonna go to Tamakoma
    and eat it with the others.
[19:12] ---
    I think they still have Konami senpai's
    hashed beef rice from yesterday.
[19:17] ---
    Not curry?
[19:19] ---
    I heard she cooked hashed beef
    for the first time yesterday.
[19:26] ---
    Mikado Sushi
[19:28] ---
    Have a nice day.
[19:30] ---
    Is it really okay for us to eat them all?
[19:33] ---
    Yeah, since he gave them to us,
    let's eat.
[19:37] ---
    Hmm.
[19:38] ---
    I've never seen this kind of food.
    Is it fish on the top?
[19:49] ---
    Wh-What's this burny feeling?!
[19:53] ---
    You've never had wasabi before?
[19:55] ---
    Wasabi?! I've never had
    this kind of sensation before!
[20:00] ---
    I like it!
[20:03] ---
    Wasabi and a burny feeling...
[20:05] ---
    Could that burning sensation give me a tip
    for our strategy?
[20:11] ---
    Osamu-kun...
[20:12] ---
    No matter how you look at it,
    I don't think it'd give you a tip...
[20:16] ---
    I-I thought so...
[20:26] ---
    How do you feel?
    Getting refreshed isn't bad, huh?
[20:30] ---
    Yeah.
[20:32] ---
    But it's gonna be tough
    to climb up that hill on our way back.
[20:36] ---
    Uh-huh.
[20:39] ---
    That hill...
[20:46] ---
    If this were a fighting stage, we have
    nowhere to run once we were targeted.
[20:51] ---
    Hmm.
[20:52] ---
    But it's good for taking aim at opponents.
[20:55] ---
    Not just Chika,
    but if Osamu and I were snipers as well,
[20:59] ---
    we'd definitely choose a stage
    with this kind of landscape.
[21:03] ---
    Yeah!
[21:12] ---
    Then, on February 5th.
[21:14] ---
    Middle Group (Night)
    008 Suwa Squad
    010 Arafune Squad
    012 Tamakoma-2
[21:15] ---
    The B-Rank Wars, Round 2!
[21:21] ---
    After this, we'll explain about
    the stages of Rank Wars!
[21:24] ---
    WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
[21:25] ---
    About the stages of Rank Wars
[21:26] ---
    Do you understand that
    the lowest-ranked team in a match has...
[21:29] ---
    the right to choose a stage to fight?
[21:32] ---
    Yes, it's very encouraging that
    we can pick a favorable stage...
[21:37] ---
    in order to work out a plan!
[21:38] ---
    That's right. If an opposing team
    mainly consists of snipers,
[21:42] ---
    you can pick a stage where
    there are less sniping spots.
[21:45] ---
    If the opposing team is good at
    close fighting,
[21:47] ---
    you can pick a forest or a city
    that has many intricate alleys.
[21:51] ---
    There were so many stages I've seen
    today and that wasn't all.
[21:55] ---
    An industrial area, an exhibition hall,
    a river area, an urban area, a forest...
[22:00] ---
    How many are there in total?
[22:02] ---
    There are some variations to each stage.
[22:06] ---
    And you can choose the time of day,
    morning, noon, evening,
[22:07] ---
    Time
[22:09] ---
    Time / Season
[22:09] ---
    as well as the season and the weather.
[22:10] ---
    Weather / Time / Season
[22:12] ---
    So it's not too much to say
    there are infinite combinations.
[22:13] ---
    Infinite
[22:15] ---
    Infinite...
[22:16] ---
    But there is a stage which is the most
    unfavorable and tough for us.
[22:21] ---
    What is it?
[22:22] ---
    It's...
[22:23] ---
    a hot spring stage!
[22:25] ---
    What? A hot spring?!
[22:27] ---
    You're right. Hot springs are like
    a spiritual home to us Japanese!
[22:30] ---
    In such a stage, we'd find ourselves
    soaking in a tub leisurely
[22:33] ---
    losing our energy to fight...
[22:36] ---
    Not only that.
[22:38] ---
    Hot springs include the most terrible
    hazard for us, that is...
[22:43] ---
    That is...?!
[22:44] ---
    Our glasses will get fogged up
    and we can't see a thing!
[22:47] ---
    Y-You're right!
[22:48] ---
    For the same reason, a ramen-place stage
    in winter is tough so be careful.
[22:49] ---
    Ramen
[22:52] ---
    Okay!
[22:54] ---
    See you!
[22:56] ---
    A healed Osamu joins in and Mikumo Squad
    aka Tamakoma-2 hits the ground running.
[23:01] ---
    What is Osamu's strategy to defeat
    Suwa Squad and Arafune Squad?
[23:05] ---
    Next on WORLD TRIGGER:
    Setting off! Mikumo Squad
[23:07] ---
    Trigger on!
