[00:12] ---
    Stage Decided
[00:13] ---
    Oh! The map's been decided.
[00:16] ---
    Suzunari-1's pick is...
[00:18] ---
    Stage Decided
[00:19] ---
    B-Rank Wars Round 7
    Stage: Cityscape D
[00:20] ---
    Cityscape D.
    The stage will be Cityscape D.
[00:24] ---
    Get the first strike
    before they catch on.
[00:26] ---
    Make sure it counts.
[00:29] ---
    Understood.
[00:31] ---
    Still, why this map? Is this really
    just an anti-Sniper strategy?
[00:37] ---
    So Okudera, you're sensing
    an ulterior motive?
[00:41] ---
    Yes.
[00:43] ---
    Suzunari, these days,
    are on a different level...you see.
[00:52] ---
    A black Kogetsu?
[01:07] ---
    The more I hope not to lose
    what's most precious to me
[01:11] ---
    They slip through my fingers
    by way of cruel fate
[01:16] ---
    More means of reclaiming
    our stolen time and hearts
[01:20] ---
    I know that's what
    we're painfully lacking
[01:24] ---
    Dark and lonely, inside a mirror
    The siren falls on deaf ears
[01:29] ---
    I stood there, watching you depart
[01:33] ---
    Should be weaker than glass
    A bullet should pierce through
[01:37] ---
    And I pulled the trigger
[01:41] ---
    There's something I need to protect
[01:45] ---
    The hopes of thousands
    are on my shoulders
[01:50] ---
    I will become the wind
[01:54] ---
    And promise to reach our goal
[01:59] ---
    The yearning that connects
    our past and present
[02:06] ---
    Illuminates the path to our future
[02:12] ---
    Embracing our overlapping histories,
    the light radiates brightly
[02:28] ---
    Secret Plan
[02:28] ---
    That's...
[02:30] ---
    Could that black Kogetsu be connected
    to Suzunari's new strategy?
[02:36] ---
    I don't know, really.
[02:38] ---
    I've never seen it.
[02:41] ---
    We can probably see
    the new strategy soon.
[02:44] ---
    Keep up the commentary.
[02:56] ---
    Shield.
[03:06] ---
    Close combat between
    Kageura Squad and Suzunari-1.
[03:10] ---
    Border's ace Attackers
    are crossing swords.
[03:13] ---
    With his versatile dual Scorpions,
[03:16] ---
    Kageura has various methods of attack.
[03:19] ---
    Murakami's solid guards and sharp
    strikes make his reactions impenetrable.
[03:25] ---
    These two and Tamakoma's Kuga
[03:27] ---
    are rivals in the Solo Rank Wars.
[03:31] ---
    Solo Win Rates
[03:32] ---
    Here are their win rates
    in the recent solo battles.
[03:35] ---
    Kageura has a slight edge
    over the other two.
[03:40] ---
    The numbers suggest so,
[03:42] ---
    but this is a one-shot team battle.
[03:46] ---
    In fact, Kuga-kun beat Ko-kun last time.
[03:49] ---
    And some people do well
    when it counts.
[03:52] ---
    That's right.
[03:53] ---
    If an ace had a 4-to-6 solo record,
[03:56] ---
    some team-based combos
    could pull off a win.
[04:00] ---
    Then, the key factor for victory
[04:03] ---
    could be how the Gunners
    will move to assist their ace?
[04:09] ---
    Let's see both Gunners' solo points.
[04:12] ---
    Captain Kuruma has 7,881,
    and Agent Kitazoe has 9,728.
[04:19] ---
    You sure do love numbers,
    Yuitsuka-chan.
[04:22] ---
    Among Gunners who mainly work
    as backup, Agent Kitazoe is
[04:27] ---
    an excellent heavy Gunner with
    enough firepower to score by himself.
[04:32] ---
    Surprisingly, his only demerits
    are being slow and a big target.
[04:38] ---
    That gap in firepower
[04:41] ---
    is making Suzunari-1 focus on guarding.
[04:44] ---
    Kageura Squad's crushing attacks
    are endless.
[04:48] ---
    If those shields break,
    it's all over.
[05:00] ---
    Whoa!
[05:02] ---
    An all-out attack
    by Captain Kuruma?
[05:05] ---
    Here we go!
[05:07] ---
    Kuruma holds double rifles
    with no shield.
[05:10] ---
    No, Murakami's
    taking care of defense?
[05:14] ---
    Asteroid and Hound at multiple angles
    are pushing Kitazoe back.
[05:23] ---
    Darn it!
[05:25] ---
    So Suzunari's new strategy is
    double rifles?
[05:28] ---
    Bingo.
[05:29] ---
    Specifically, Captain Kuruma
    advances far more than usual.
[05:35] ---
    And behind Murakami's shield,
[05:37] ---
    he goes all in on offense.
[05:40] ---
    They can get
    an instant boost in a firefight.
[05:44] ---
    Suzunari, whose main strategy
    was backing up the Attacker in front,
[05:45] ---
    Mid Close Long
[05:50] ---
    now has a new option
    of exchanging midrange shots.
[05:54] ---
    Zoe-kun, upper left!
[05:56] ---
    Roger.
[05:57] ---
    This formation
    has a risk of friendly fire.
[06:01] ---
    Yet they've mastered it so soon.
[06:04] ---
    I think it was Ko-kun's learning ability
    and their team practices.
[06:09] ---
    Ugh, this formation again.
    This is tough.
[06:12] ---
    Without Yuzuru, we're done for.
[06:16] ---
    No choice. Let's fall back.
[06:21] ---
    Didn't expect that.
[06:22] ---
    3rd Floor, Shopping Mall:
    Osamu vs. Okudera & Koarai
[06:29] ---
    Koarai, go upstairs.
[06:31] ---
    Gotcha.
[06:36] ---
    5th Floor, Shopping Mall
[06:43] ---
    He'll catch up too.
[06:46] ---
    Thruster, on!
[06:54] ---
    Get him!
[07:01] ---
    I'll hit you both.
[07:03] ---
    This is bad.
[07:15] ---
    He saved Koarai.
[07:18] ---
    To stop Kageura Squad from scoring?
[07:30] ---
    I won't miss again.
[07:31] ---
    Got to get close before he shoots.
[07:35] ---
    It's chaotic upstairs,
    so I must catch him here.
[07:40] ---
    Okay, three, two, one...
[07:42] ---
    Switch off.
[07:54] ---
    A power outage?
[07:59] ---
    Dang it!
[08:00] ---
    He aimed at my Trigger's light.
[08:09] ---
    The next shot will end you.
[08:19] ---
    Three days ago at the Suzunari Branch
[08:25] ---
    We need to create a new strategy
    before the next match.
[08:30] ---
    Really?
[08:32] ---
    But we're doing well
    against top squads in B-Rank.
[08:35] ---
    6th Day: Top Groups - Night Session
[08:36] ---
    It's not like
    we're not a match for them.
[08:39] ---
    But we couldn't hold out last week.
[08:39] ---
    Ninomiya Squad, Kageura Squad
    Azuma Squad, Suzunari-1
[08:42] ---
    Also, they'll eventually counter
    our new gunfire-minded formation.
[08:48] ---
    A new strategy... You mean
[08:50] ---
    we need to find a way
    that is favorable only to us, right?
[08:55] ---
    Yeah, exactly.
[08:59] ---
    So yummy!
[09:01] ---
    For example, poisoning
    the other squads' Operators?
[09:06] ---
    That's logically correct
    but sounds crazy.
[09:10] ---
    We can choose the map
    for the next match too,
[09:14] ---
    so the strategy should be
    related to the terrain.
[09:17] ---
    Terrain, right.
[09:19] ---
    But Kageura Squad and Tamakoma-2
    have similar compositions to ours.
[09:24] ---
    Getting an edge seems tough.
[09:28] ---
    Ah, I have an idea.
[09:30] ---
    There's something
    I've been wanting to try.
[09:34] ---
    What?
[09:45] ---
    Kageura Squad and Suzunari-1
    are now inside a restaurant.
[09:49] ---
    How will the narrow spaces
    and obstacles affect them?
[09:57] ---
    Kageura's strike
    weaves past blind spots.
[10:00] ---
    Is the location good for his team?
[10:02] ---
    Seems like it.
[10:04] ---
    Tight spaces decrease the impact of
[10:08] ---
    Captain Kuruma's
    double Hound multi-directional attacks.
[10:13] ---
    It's rare to see Kageura Squad
    fighting so smart.
[10:21] ---
    Regaining their chance,
[10:23] ---
    Kageura Squad fights
    dominantly in this brawl.
[10:27] ---
    Here we go...
[10:28] ---
    Taichi!
[10:29] ---
    Got it.
[10:31] ---
    Okay, three, two, one...
[10:34] ---
    Visual support, on.
[10:35] ---
    Switch off.
[10:40] ---
    Oh?
[10:41] ---
    The lights...
[10:49] ---
    This guy's...
[10:55] ---
    A power outage in the mall?
[10:57] ---
    I see, Suzunari sent Taichi-kun
[11:00] ---
    to the power room on the first floor.
[11:03] ---
    Suzunari's agents now have
    night vision switched on.
[11:07] ---
    To get an advantage in the dark,
[11:10] ---
    they were ready to kill the lights
    with the Operator.
[11:14] ---
    I see.
[11:15] ---
    So that black Kogetsu is
[11:17] ---
    to make its moves
    hard to see in the dark?
[11:22] ---
    Gosh! I should cover you, Kage,
    but I may hit you.
[11:26] ---
    Hikari, get us night vision. Now!
[11:29] ---
    Already on it.
[11:30] ---
    You guys can't do anything
    without me...
[11:37] ---
    Kageura Squad also got visual support.
[11:40] ---
    Taichi's playing this light trick?
[11:43] ---
    What a pesky strategy!
[11:45] ---
    Now we're on even ground.
[11:48] ---
    - Taichi.
    - Yup.
[11:50] ---
    Three, two, one...
[11:52] ---
    Visual support, off.
[11:54] ---
    Switch on.
[12:00] ---
    Captain Kageura got a big one.
[12:02] ---
    Was it a fatal hit?
[12:04] ---
    Timing the light
    with the enemy's night vision.
[12:08] ---
    This is brutal.
[12:09] ---
    NAME: Masato Kageura
[12:10] ---
    The hit missed his vitals, but
[12:12] ---
    the relay system on his arm
    was severed.
[12:15] ---
    The Trion leakage is huge.
[12:17] ---
    He would've been killed five times
    without his Side Effect.
[12:22] ---
    Get night vision off.
    Too bright!
[12:25] ---
    I'm doing it already.
[12:27] ---
    Suzunari-1 is controlling
    the flow here.
[12:30] ---
    They can make chances
    over and over with the lights.
[12:35] ---
    Yuzuru, can you shoot Taichi-kun?
[12:37] ---
    I'll probably miss him.
    He's not even on radar.
[12:41] ---
    But I can break the fuse box.
    Hikari, tell me the spot.
[12:45] ---
    Y'all making me busy!
[12:52] ---
    Oh! Shooting at me already?
[12:54] ---
    Escudo by Agent Betsuyaku?
[12:56] ---
    He was prepared against the attack.
[12:59] ---
    No. He seems to be shielded.
[13:01] ---
    We must get him directly.
[13:03] ---
    Darn! What a tough situation.
[13:12] ---
    Kitazoe broke
    the restaurant's light fixtures.
[13:15] ---
    I see, now they can't use
    that light trick.
[13:20] ---
    Simple but useful idea.
[13:21] ---
    That's what I like about Zoe.
[13:25] ---
    They reacted so soon.
[13:26] ---
    We can't keep the edge here anymore.
[13:29] ---
    We should take Kage out
    early on though.
[13:33] ---
    I was hurt pretty badly. Curses!
[13:36] ---
    Don't worry.
    Let's get reorganized.
[13:40] ---
    Heavier damage to Kageura Squad.
[13:43] ---
    What's their next move?
[13:46] ---
    Well, they'd normally use
    Zoe's Meteor
[13:49] ---
    to break the walls
    and let themselves outside the mall.
[13:54] ---
    But they don't know
    where the two Snipers are waiting at.
[13:58] ---
    They can't make
    reckless moves like that.
[14:02] ---
    True.
[14:03] ---
    The other teams have no idea
    Azuma's inside the mall.
[14:08] ---
    They may think they'll be sniped at
    outside the building.
[14:15] ---
    Is one of the other teams
    turning the lights on and off?
[14:20] ---
    Usami senpai*'s quick support
    saved my life.
[14:25] ---
    That light trick ruined my right arm,
[14:28] ---
    but it also helped me escape.
[14:35] ---
    Things could be worse.
[14:38] ---
    Still, I need to do something
    about the light to move freely.
[14:49] ---
    Taichi!
[14:50] ---
    People are headed your way.
[14:52] ---
    Huh?
[14:53] ---
    They're off the radar.
[14:55] ---
    Get out of there now.
[14:57] ---
    Copy.
[14:59] ---
    It's best to retreat for now.
[15:02] ---
    Escudo.
[15:08] ---
    Indeed, someone was
    controlling the lights.
[15:11] ---
    But it was a detour for us.
[15:13] ---
    We had to wait for him up there.
[15:16] ---
    We're still following his order
    to regroup. No problem.
[15:22] ---
    Let's go get points.
[15:24] ---
    Alright.
[15:36] ---
    Something happened
    on the first floor.
[15:39] ---
    Agent Betsuyaku, Bail out.
[15:41] ---
    First point goes to Tamakoma-2.
[15:44] ---
    B-Rank No.7 Suzunari-1
[15:45] ---
    And Suzunari's environmental tactic
    comes to an end.
[15:46] ---
    B-Rank No.2 Kageura Squad
[15:49] ---
    B-Rank No.6 Azuma Squad
[15:49] ---
    How will they act now?
[15:52] ---
    B-Rank No.4 Tamakoma-2
[15:52] ---
    Will Tamakoma's two men on the first
    floor define the upcoming flow?
[16:00] ---
    We must hurry upstairs.
[16:02] ---
    I know. Watch for Snipers.
[16:09] ---
    Two from Tamakoma went up
    through the atrium.
[16:12] ---
    Be careful.
[16:13] ---
    Roger.
[16:20] ---
    6th Floor, Shopping Mall
[16:30] ---
    It's Tamakoma.
[16:34] ---
    They jumped straight up
    and disabled their Bagworms.
[16:37] ---
    Three squads,
    keeping each other in check.
[16:40] ---
    If someone takes a hasty action,
[16:43] ---
    the enemy will come from behind.
[16:46] ---
    Kage's a step ahead in melee
[16:48] ---
    but lost too much Trion earlier.
[16:51] ---
    Bagworm
[16:52] ---
    And we don't know much about
    Tamakoma's rookie yet.
[16:56] ---
    Yes, this is his first match
    in the B-Rank Wars.
[17:00] ---
    His Trigger set is still unknown.
[17:04] ---
    The other squads are
    biding their time
[17:07] ---
    hoping to see what he can do.
[17:10] ---
    They say he was a great user of
    Kogetsu in the Solo Rank Wars.
[17:15] ---
    Does that mean
    he's in the Attacker position?
[17:18] ---
    Well... I'm not sure about that yet.
[17:24] ---
    Osamu, how are things
    down there?
[17:26] ---
    Are you going to come up?
[17:28] ---
    5th Floor, Shopping Mall
[17:29] ---
    There are Ema and
    Azuma Squad's two Attackers here.
[17:33] ---
    I'll find a chance to go.
[17:35] ---
    If I go upstairs,
    I'll be killed at close range.
[17:39] ---
    Can I hit the enemies up there
    from here?
[17:42] ---
    Ema's alone.
    Let's make a pincer attack.
[17:45] ---
    Koarai, come up quickly.
[17:47] ---
    4th Floor, Shopping Mall
[17:47] ---
    Almost there.
[17:48] ---
    Mikumo's in stealth.
    Stay alert.
[17:51] ---
    I know that.
[17:52] ---
    6th Floor, Shopping Mall
[17:53] ---
    Tamakoma'll try to score
    from Kageura Squad
[17:56] ---
    since they want to
    join the expedition.
[18:00] ---
    Once they make a move,
    let's attack.
[18:02] ---
    Attack
[18:02] ---
    Got it.
[18:03] ---
    We have three two-men groups
    on the sixth floor.
[18:08] ---
    Which will move first?
[18:10] ---
    Or will they wait for their mates
    to come up?
[18:13] ---
    Tamakoma's coming at us.
[18:15] ---
    Gotcha.
[18:16] ---
    Let's begin.
[18:17] ---
    Okay.
[18:19] ---
    Escudo.
[18:28] ---
    He...used Escudo
    to block the hallway?
[18:31] ---
    That 2-on-2-on-2 situation
    instantly turned into a 2-on-1.
[18:40] ---
    Kogetsu?
[18:43] ---
    That's not it.
[18:46] ---
    Bullets!
[18:47] ---
    So huge.
[18:53] ---
    Using bullets to blind me?
[19:05] ---
    I knew you'd do that.
[19:13] ---
    Hoping you'd beat me
    in a two-on-one?
[19:16] ---
    No.
[19:28] ---
    Captain Kageura got hit.
    But how?
[19:31] ---
    He did a delayed dual assault
    on his own.
[19:35] ---
    By firing half of his bullets later,
[19:38] ---
    he simulated
    a three-on-one situation.
[19:43] ---
    It was an idea
    to secure Hyuse's first attack
[19:47] ---
    using the fact that
    his combat style's unknown.
[19:51] ---
    Kuga and Hyuse caught Kageura senpai.*
[19:55] ---
    The two from Suzunari
    are over there.
[19:59] ---
    But...why isn't Hyuse using
    the deflecting trajectories of Viper?
[20:05] ---
    Warning.
    Critical Trion loss.
[20:08] ---
    Without much Trion and a leg,
    Kage may be done for.
[20:14] ---
    You bastard!
[20:23] ---
    Kitazoe senpai joined him?
[20:29] ---
    Eek! Not that again.
[20:32] ---
    Oh, no!
[20:47] ---
    Meteor for a mutual kill before dying?
[20:50] ---
    Agent Kitazoe, Bail out.
[20:52] ---
    And Agent Kuga...predicted it?
[20:55] ---
    He used his shield.
[21:07] ---
    Captain Kageura fell downstairs.
[21:15] ---
    Crap.
[21:17] ---
    Severe Trion loss.
    Bail out.
[21:23] ---
    Captain Kageura bails out too!
[21:25] ---
    He's been really damaged
[21:27] ---
    and couldn't keep Tamakoma at bay.
[21:32] ---
    Wait.
[21:34] ---
    That's not it.
    Suzunari-1 scored here.
[21:37] ---
    The point goes to Suzunari-1.
[21:40] ---
    
[21:42] ---
