[00:15] ---
Four years has passed
since the Neighbors first invaded.
[00:20] ---
A Border agent, Osamu Mikumo
[00:22] ---
met Yuma Kuga, who identifies
himself as a Neighbor.
[00:26] ---
Next day, a Trion soldier attacked
Osamu's school and put him in danger,
[00:32] ---
but he won with Yuma's help.
[00:34] ---
It seemed that the worst has passed.
[00:37] ---
Then Border's elite
Arashiyama Squad appeared
[00:42] ---
and pointed out that
Osamu broke Border rules.
[00:45] ---
C-Rank agents are still trainees.
[00:49] ---
They aren't allowed to use
Triggers outside of training.
[00:53] ---
His actions clearly go against the rules.
[00:57] ---
Arashiyama sempai,
please don't praise a rule-breaker.
[01:00] ---
- Trainee?
- Rule-Breaker?
[01:03] ---
Who is that?
[01:05] ---
Ai Kitora.
[01:06] ---
An A-Rank elite agent,
though she is a middle schooler.

All-Rounder
Ai Kitora (15)
[01:10] ---
Hmm, an elite?
Her?
[01:13] ---
Indeed, it was against rules,
but he saved citizens' lives after all.
SIGN Arashiyama Squad,
Mid-range All-Rounder
Jun Arashiyama (19)
[01:19] ---
Right. Mikumo helped us all.
[01:23] ---
That wasn't me...
[01:25] ---
Saving people certainly
deserves recognition.
[01:28] ---
But if we overlook this, other C-Rank
agents might violate regulations too.
[01:35] ---
If a member with a lack of ability
goes into the field like a hero.
[01:39] ---
it's totally obvious that
it will lead to serious trouble.
[01:43] ---
To instill discipline in C-rank agents
and maintain order within Border,
[01:49] ---
he should be punished
according to regulations.
[01:54] ---
She is right about that.
[01:56] ---
I knew this would happen and
certainly deserve to be punished.
[02:20] ---

[03:35] ---
Ai Kitora, A-Rank No.5 Agent
[03:42] ---
I should be punished
for not following the regulations.
[03:48] ---
But if I have to leave the squad
because of this,
[03:51] ---
I won't be able to fulfill
my reason for joining Border.
[03:55] ---
Then, I should apply again
and start all over.
[04:00] ---
But Border won't accept someone who
once violated their regulations...
[04:06] ---
Even so...
[04:08] ---
It's too late for regrets now.
[04:11] ---
That's the problem with trainees...
[04:13] ---
Hey you.
[04:15] ---
Why so arrogant,
even though you arrived late?
[04:21] ---
Who are you?
[04:22] ---
Someone who was saved by Osamu.
[04:25] ---
Stop it, Kuga.
Stay quiet.
[04:29] ---
Do you need permission
to help someone in Japan?
[04:33] ---
That's up to the individual, of course.
[04:36] ---
But that's only when
you don't use a Trigger.
[04:39] ---
If you're using a Trigger,
you need permission from Border.
[04:43] ---
It's obvious, isn't it?
Triggers belong to Border.
[04:46] ---
What are you saying?
[04:47] ---
Triggers belonged to the Neighbors.
[04:52] ---
Do you ask the Neighbors
each time you use them?
[04:57] ---
Are you repudiating Border's activities?
[05:01] ---
Rather, you just don't like the fact
Osamu got praised.
[05:05] ---
What...?
[05:06] ---
W...what are you saying?
[05:08] ---
I'm just talking about
the Border's regulations.
[05:14] ---
You...
[05:17] ---
make up the stupidest lies.
[05:20] ---
What is he?
[05:23] ---
Okay, that's enough.
[05:26] ---
Just got done checking the scene.
[05:28] ---
Let's call the recovery team and leave.
[05:30] ---
Tokieda sempai, but...
[05:33] ---
I get where you're coming from.
[05:35] ---
But Mikumo's punishment is for
the higher-ups to decide, not us.
SIGN Arashiyama Squad,
Mid-range All-Rounder
Mitsuru Tokieda (16)
[05:39] ---
Right, Captain Arashiyama?
[05:42] ---
Yeah, Mitsuru is right.
[05:47] ---
Our unit will report on this matter.
[05:50] ---
You make sure to go to the HQ today.
[05:53] ---
Yes.
[05:55] ---
I'll do my best to ensure
your punishment isn't too harsh.
[05:58] ---
I owe you for saving
my little brother and sister.
[06:02] ---
Thank you so much.
[06:04] ---
No...I should thank you.
[06:06] ---
Thank you, Mikumo sempai!
[06:08] ---
That was great.
[06:09] ---
Mikumo sempai is cool!
[06:15] ---
Bye Mikumo kun, Kuga kun.
[06:17] ---
See you.
[06:23] ---
Ahhh, Kuga!
[06:25] ---
Don't snap at Border agents
like that.
[06:28] ---
They'll be suspicious.
[06:30] ---
That woman was so self-important.
I couldn't resist.
[06:33] ---
I hate those people who act big
even though they don't do much.
[06:41] ---
What Kitora said was right.
[06:44] ---
In truth, I did nothing and nearly died.
[06:48] ---
You're the one who saved us all.
[06:50] ---
How so?
[06:51] ---
You're the one who saved the students.
[06:55] ---
You saved those who had failed
to escape and almost got killed,
[06:59] ---
so I helped you.
[07:02] ---
I only remember helping you.
[07:05] ---
Do you need other people to keep track
of your own accomplishments?
[07:10] ---
You're a pain in the neck, Osamu.
[07:33] ---
Are you going to the Border base
after this?
[07:36] ---
Right. I have to go to the HQ
to receive punishment.
[07:40] ---
I promised Arashiyama san.
[07:43] ---
Hmm.
[07:46] ---
What?
[07:48] ---
Hey, look.
[07:50] ---
Wow, she's unbelievably cute.
[07:53] ---
What is she doing here?
[07:55] ---
Ai Kitora from Arashiyama Squad.
[08:00] ---
Excuse me, can I take a picture?
[08:02] ---
Ah, I'm sorry, but I wish you wouldn't.
[08:06] ---
Photos and such are a nuisance.
[08:08] ---
It's not like I'm some celebrity.
[08:10] ---
Smile.
[08:12] ---
Hey, I said it was a nuisance!
What do you think you're doing?
[08:16] ---
- I'll take one too.
- Me too.
[08:18] ---
Hey, you!
[08:21] ---
Stop that.
[08:22] ---
Honestly...
[08:27] ---
What's she doing?
[08:32] ---
I was waiting for you.
[08:33] ---
Mikumo kun, right?
[08:36] ---
I am Ai Kitora
from Arashiyama Squad of the HQ.
[08:40] ---
I'll accompany you to the base.
[08:43] ---
The Arashiyama Squad agent
has come for Mikumo sempai?
[08:47] ---
Mikumo sempai is awesome!
[08:49] ---
An A-Rank agent like her
has come for a C-Rank agent like me?
[08:54] ---
What is going on here?
[09:03] ---
Don't get the wrong idea.
[09:05] ---
I didn't come here to escort you.
[09:09] ---
I came to keep an eye on you,
so you wouldn't run away.
[09:11] ---
I have no intention of running away.
[09:15] ---
Do you think I can trust someone
who easily break rules?
[09:19] ---
You should be more aware
of your own position.
[09:25] ---
The central part of that Neighbor
was destroyed accurately in one blow.
[09:30] ---
Using a training Trigger while slipping
through a moving enemy's blades...
[09:37] ---
All right.
You get a bit of praise.
[09:40] ---
From an A-Rank agent
to a C-Rank agent.
[09:42] ---
This is a special case.
[09:44] ---
Well, that was...
[09:46] ---
But...
[09:49] ---
Don't get carried away because
you made a big splash
[09:52] ---
and were treated as a hero.
[09:54] ---
I haven't done that at all!
[09:56] ---
Honestly speaking, our unit could've
controlled the situation without you.
[10:01] ---
You just happened to be
closer to the scene than me.
[10:05] ---
No, that's impossible.
[10:08] ---
I don't mean to blame you.
[10:10] ---
But you weren't in time at all.
[10:13] ---
Why are you here suddenly?
[10:15] ---
Why are you following us?
[10:17] ---
It's not suddenly.
[10:19] ---
I was with him all along.
You followed us.
[10:22] ---
I was at school
when the Neighbor came out.
[10:25] ---
Some people would have died for sure
if we'd waited for you.
[10:29] ---
You should be more grateful to Osamu.
[10:32] ---
Outsiders shouldn't interrupt.
[10:34] ---
I said it before, but what he did
was against the rules.
[10:37] ---
If you want to be properly appreciated,
you should follow the rules.
[10:41] ---
Osamu knew it was against rules.
[10:43] ---
He knew that if he fought,
he'd get chewed out, not praised.
[10:47] ---
But he still saved us.
[10:49] ---
If anything, he's admirable.
[10:51] ---
That's a different matter.
[10:53] ---
Seems like you have
a rivalry with Osamu.
[10:57] ---
But you have no chance
against Osamu.
[11:02] ---
Don't be ridiculous.
I'd never have a rivalry with a C-rank.
[11:05] ---
Kuga, watch what you say.
[11:07] ---
She's an A-Rank agent.
[11:09] ---
I don't know about things like A-Rank.
[11:12] ---
Then please remember this.
[11:15] ---
A-Rank(Elite): about 30 people
[11:15] ---
The A-Rank agents are the top 5% of
all Border agents.
[11:19] ---
B-Rank (Main Force): about 100
C-Rank (Trainee): over 400
[11:19] ---
They're elites among elites.
[11:23] ---
E...lite...?
[11:25] ---
What's with that suspicious look?!
[11:28] ---
They are totally incompatible.
[11:32] ---
You were useless today.
[11:34] ---
Like I said,
if we arrived there first...
[11:37] ---
What's your deal? You're an outsider.
Don't butt in!
SIGN Yuma Kuga

Likes: Japanese food
[11:55] ---
Oh, Kitora.
[11:56] ---
That's Kitora...san.
[11:59] ---
What's with you dropping the honorific?
[12:01] ---
What's with me?
[12:02] ---
Show some respect.
[12:04] ---
But aren't you my age?
[12:06] ---
Age has nothing to do with it.
[12:08] ---
I'm an A-Rank. And you?
[12:11] ---
C-Rank...
[12:12] ---
That's how it works.
[12:15] ---
How what works?
[12:17] ---
Anyway, I wanted to ask you.
[12:21] ---
You must know since you're an A-Rank.
[12:25] ---
What?
[12:26] ---
Why did a Neighbor appear in our school?
[12:29] ---
It's outside the Forbidden Zone.
[12:32] ---
Right.
[12:34] ---
A C-Rank wouldn't have the information.
[12:38] ---
I can tell you as a special favor.
[12:41] ---
Normally, Neighbors appear
only around the base...
[12:45] ---
...because of the Guidance Beacon.
[12:49] ---
But lately, abnormal gates that aren't
affected by the beacon are opening.
[12:55] ---
Abnormal gates...?
[12:57] ---
We don't know any details yet.
[13:00] ---
The engineers in HQ are all working
to find the cause.
[13:04] ---
Also, it's not only your school.
[13:07] ---
Six other cases have been reported
outside the Zone since yesterday.
[13:12] ---
That many?!
[13:14] ---
No one was hurt thanks to
off-duty officers nearby.
[13:20] ---
But it doesn't mean
it's fine going forward.
[13:24] ---
We haven't publicized it to avoid panic.
[13:27] ---
But right now, Neighbors could appear
anywhere in this city.
[13:32] ---
Oh no...
[13:33] ---
Something has to be done!
[13:35] ---
I told you the engineers are
working on it.
[13:38] ---
There's no point in us yapping about it.
[13:43] ---
I am a border defense agent.
[13:46] ---
My duty is to fight
to protect our citizens.
[13:51] ---
I see. Kitora is right.
[13:59] ---
This is an emergency.
[14:02] ---
Gate activity detected in the city.
[14:05] ---
All citizens, move to safety!
[14:08] ---
We repeat. Gate activity warning.
[14:12] ---
Gate activity detected in the city.
[14:15] ---
Oh no. It's a busy day.
[14:30] ---
What is that Neighbor?
[14:32] ---
I've never seen it before!
[14:33] ---
Kuga, what is it?
[14:35] ---
That's Ilgar. A rare kind.
[14:37] ---
Ilgar?
[14:38] ---
Ilgar is a Trion soldier for bombing.
[14:49] ---
The city...!
[14:51] ---
We can't afford to wait for other squads.
[14:54] ---
I'll go.
[14:55] ---
Me too.
[14:57] ---
Osamu.
[14:58] ---
Showing off again?
[15:00] ---
Besides, what can you do against
a flying enemy?
[15:03] ---
I'll think of something later.
[15:05] ---
Trigger on!
[15:07] ---
Trigger on!
[15:39] ---
Raygust!
[15:42] ---
It's not forming.
[15:45] ---
Not enough Trion to form a weapon.
[15:48] ---
He used too much in the battle at school.
[15:51] ---
Out of Trion?
[15:53] ---
You really are a C-Rank.
[15:54] ---
Stay and watch.
[15:56] ---
Kitora, sure you're okay going alone?
[16:00] ---
"Kitora..."
[16:02] ---
"san."
[16:04] ---
You've never seen this enemy before.
[16:05] ---
That doesn't matter.
I'm an A-Rank.
[16:08] ---
I'll eliminate that Neighbor.
[16:16] ---
Kitora left.
[16:18] ---
What are you gonna do, Osamu?
[16:26] ---
Hey. Osamu?
[16:36] ---
Hey, Osamu.
[16:38] ---
You can't use your weapon.
You'll get hurt again!
[16:41] ---
I know. I won't take any risks.
[16:44] ---
I'll leave the Neighbor to Kitora.
[16:47] ---
I'll go help people in the city.
[16:49] ---
There're things I can do
without a weapon.
[16:53] ---
True.
[16:56] ---
Damn it!
[16:59] ---
Okay, want any help?
[17:00] ---
No...please help Kitora.
[17:04] ---
She's never seen this Neighbor before.
[17:05] ---
If she gets into trouble,
help her secretly.
[17:09] ---
What?
[17:11] ---
Please!
[17:14] ---
Oh well. You're a sucker
for those in need.
[17:17] ---
You have to help everyone
who is trying hard.
[17:22] ---
Doesn't everyone?
[17:23] ---
You selflessly jump in to help people.
[17:27] ---
A sucker for those in need.
[17:32] ---
Replica.
[17:33] ---
Got it.
[17:41] ---
Take this, Osamu.
[17:42] ---
He's my clone.
[17:44] ---
You can communicate with Yuma
through me.
[17:47] ---
Don't worry. I won't tickle you.
[17:58] ---
Call me if there's trouble.
[18:01] ---
Got it!
[18:18] ---
Can't shoot through its armor
from this far.
[18:22] ---
I can't drop that giant in the city anyway.
[18:26] ---
It's bombing while flying in circles.
[18:29] ---
I'll predict its route
and drop it over the river.
[18:39] ---
It's coming again!
Get to the shelter now!
[18:42] ---
Mommy, Mommy!
[18:44] ---
Go with the people over there!
I'll be fine!
[18:48] ---
No! I wanna go with Mommy!
[18:52] ---
No! Listen...
[18:57] ---
Yu chan?!
[19:00] ---
Yu chan! Yu chan!
[19:02] ---
You okay? Are you hurt?
[19:04] ---
I'm fine...
[19:06] ---
Mommy?
[19:13] ---
We can get out!
[19:17] ---
Thank you, young man.
[19:19] ---
Thank you.
[19:21] ---
You saved us!
[19:22] ---
Thank you very much.
[19:27] ---
But aren't you hurt?
[19:30] ---
The rubble hit you directly.
[19:31] ---
I'm fine. I'm a Border agent.
[19:36] ---
This is really nothing.
[19:41] ---
It's Border. Border has come!
[19:44] ---
Over here! Help me!
[19:46] ---
Please step back! I'll help you soon!
[19:55] ---
Damn. Too heavy to move it by myself.
[20:03] ---
C'mon...just...move...!
[20:11] ---
Yuma. Yuma!
[20:13] ---
Osamu needs your help.
[20:16] ---
Okay.
[20:18] ---
Boost.
[20:20] ---
Double.
[20:26] ---
Yuma's Trigger gave
your Trion body more power.
[20:30] ---
It's so light...!
[20:35] ---
Hurry! Everyone evacuate!
[20:37] ---
Help the injured!
[20:40] ---
Has anyone seen people trapped?
[20:43] ---
There are still people over there!
[20:45] ---
Got it. I'll be right there!
[21:02] ---
Since it flies, the top is unguarded.
[21:06] ---
I hope that's not what Kitora is thinking.
[21:09] ---
But it's easy to assume that.
[21:19] ---
What are these?
[21:35] ---
That's bad.
[21:42] ---
I see. Is that all?
[21:48] ---
Scorpion!
[21:52] ---
It's my turn!
[21:56] ---
WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
[21:58] ---
Today, I'll explain
the ranks of Borders.
[22:02] ---
Yes, please.
[22:03] ---
It's divided into three ranks:
A, B, and C.
[22:07] ---
When you first join the agency
as a trainee, you're C-Rank.
[22:11] ---
That's my rank.
[22:13] ---
We are not allowed to use our Triggers
outside of training.
[22:16] ---
Didn't someone break that rule?
[22:20] ---
B-Rank is an official agent
and the main force of Borders.
[22:24] ---
A-Rank are selected from B.
We're truly the best.
[22:29] ---
I wanna be an official agent too.
[22:31] ---
Mikumo kun, with your skills,
I don't think you'll ever be A-Rank.
[22:37] ---
Just P-Rank.
[22:38] ---
P-Rank? Prank?
[22:40] ---
So that's how elites make jokes!
[22:44] ---
How clever, Kitora.
[22:45] ---
It's "Kitora san!"
[22:47] ---
Must I remind you again?
[22:48] ---
See you!
[22:51] ---
Osamu is taken to HQ for breaking
the rules and faces trouble.
[22:56] ---
A certain man appears before him.
[22:58] ---
Next time on WORLD TRIGGER:
Power elite, Yuichi Jin
[23:03] ---
Trigger on!
