**[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] ---**
