**[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.
***SIGN*** *Arashiyama Squad,
Close range
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] ---**
*As the future comes*
**[02:20] ---**
*bokura ni sono mirai ga*
**[02:23] ---**
*Drawing ever nearer*
**[02:23] ---**
*tatoeba chikazuita nara*
**[02:27] ---**
*We gather light and let it shine*
**[02:27] ---**
*hikari wo atsumete terashi*
**[02:30] ---**
*And the Gate of our heart opens*
**[02:30] ---**
*kokoro no Gate wo hiraiteku*
**[02:34] ---**
*Always ready to fight
for the sake of another*
**[02:34] ---**
*kitto dareka no tame datte
kanji nagara itsudatte tatakatteru*
**[02:38] ---**
*Our scars will make us stronger*
**[02:38] ---**
*kizu no kazu dake tsuyoku nareru yo*
**[02:41] ---**
*Live and give each day
a different color*
**[02:41] ---**
*yatto ikite imi wo motte
sono hibi ni sorezore no iro motte*
**[02:44] ---**
*And let's paint a rainbow*
**[02:44] ---**
*mata niji wo egakou*
**[02:47] ---**
*Stay on the brink and scream
Let's hope for the next future*
**[02:47] ---**
*girigiri ni Stay shite sakebe
tsugi no mirai kitai shitai*
**[02:53] ---**
*Stay on the brink and fly again
Let's go grab that smile*
**[02:53] ---**
*girigiri ni Fly again
ikuzo tsukame Smile Smile Smile*
**[03:01] ---**
*To protect that special something,
I am willing to abandon everything*
**[03:01] ---**
*bokura niwa mamorumono ga aru kara
sono tame niwa nani wo sutetemo iisa*
**[03:08] ---**
*The sun sails from east to west*
**[03:08] ---**
*higashi kara nishi e noboru taiyo ga*
**[03:11] ---**
*Just to shine on you today*
**[03:11] ---**
*kyou mo kimi wo terasu kara*
**[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!

**[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!*
