[00:18] ---
    A Border agent, Osamu Mikumo met...
[00:20] ---
    a mysterious boy, Yuma Kuga
    who claims he's a Neighbor.

[00:25] ---
    As they deepened their understanding of
    each other,

[00:28] ---
    they associated with Chika and formed
    a team in Border's Tamakoma Branch.

[00:33] ---
    Meanwhile, the largest military nation
    in the Neighborhood, Aftokrator...

[00:38] ---
    came to invade Mikado City.
[00:41] ---
    Sustaining enormous damage,
    Border made a collective effort

[00:45] ---
    and forced their retreat successfully.
[00:49] ---
    With their determination reaffirmed,
    Yuma, Osamu, and Chika are...

[00:54] ---
    aiming for A-Rank to get selected for
    the away squads to the Neighborhood.

[00:59] ---
    Therefore,
    they engage in the B-Rank Wars.

[01:03] ---
    Their opponents of the B-Rank Wars,
    Round 2 are...

[01:06] ---
    Suwa Squad and Arafune Squad.
[01:09] ---
    Can Mikumo Squad led by Osamu
    claim victory...

[01:09] ---
    008 Suwa Squad
    010 Arafune Squad
    012 Tamakoma-2

[01:12] ---
    against those formidable enemies?
[01:15] ---
    Now, the new battle is about begin.
[01:24] ---
    Hey!
[01:25] ---
    How are you guys doing?
[01:27] ---
    Shiori-san!
[01:28] ---
    Hi.
[01:29] ---
    We were looking into
    the next opponent's data.
[01:32] ---
    Good, good.
    Have you gotten a grip on how they fight?
[01:35] ---
    - Yes.
    - All right.
[01:37] ---
    Let's hear your opinion, then.
[01:40] ---
    Suwa Squad has two gunners
    and one attacker.
[01:44] ---
    They take sort of close formation.
[01:47] ---
    The two gunners' Triggers are
    shotgun type.
[01:49] ---
    It depends on power
    and it's short-ranged.
[01:51] ---
    They'll have a little gap between shots.
[01:54] ---
    Their main tactic is to close in
    on a target and just keep shooting.
[01:57] ---
    The attacker basically supports the two
    with his shield.
[02:01] ---
    But he has Chameleon
    and can make a surprise attack.
[02:04] ---
    If we put up a shield to avoid bullets,
    he'd turn invisible and come break it.
[02:10] ---
    Mm-hm, mm-hm, you pretty much got it.
    And what's your plan?
[02:14] ---
    I have no chance
    in a contest of firepower
[02:16] ---
    so I'll use long-ranged bullets
    and fend off their shotgun powers.
[02:21] ---
    It's more important not to get hit
    than to attack.
[02:24] ---
    In contrast, Kuga said it's favorable
    for him because they come close.
[02:28] ---
    If I just watch out for the invisible one,
    I'm not disadvantaged.
[02:32] ---
    Hmm... So it's important to keep an eye on
    where Sasamori-kun is.
[02:36] ---
    Chika, of course, will...
[02:38] ---
    Try not to be found it is!
[02:40] ---
    What if they find you?
[02:42] ---
    What? Ummm... If that happens...
[02:46] ---
    Here!
[02:47] ---
    I'll tell you where to run!
    There could be various situations.
[02:52] ---
    Okay!
[02:53] ---
    All three of Arafune Squad are snipers.
[02:56] ---
    In contrast to Suwa Squad's formation,
    they each keep distance from the others.
[03:01] ---
    Taking advantage of their range, they
    cooperate in both offense and defense.
[03:05] ---
    They're hard to take down for us.
[03:08] ---
    We thought about destroying them
    along with buildings using Chika's Ibis...
[03:12] ---
    But she'd stand out and take fire
    so no!
[03:14] ---
    We'll let Chika shoot
    only when it comes to the crunch.
[03:17] ---
    Yeah, sounds good.
[03:19] ---
    So the only option we got is
    get close to them somehow.
[03:22] ---
    It's a three-way fight
    so it depends on how Suwa Squad'll move.
[03:26] ---
    Oh yeah, Usami senpai, could you run
    a simulation of a virtual combat...
[03:30] ---
    using the data of Suwa Squad
    and Arafune Squad?
[03:34] ---
    I thought you'd ask
    so I'm working on it.
[03:39] ---
    After all, considering
    our actual fighting experience,
[03:42] ---
    an urban area is the most favorable.
    But it's the same for the opponents.
[03:47] ---
    Then, maybe it's better to pick a stage...
[03:49] ---
    where Suwa Squad and Arafune Squad
    have never fought before.
[03:54] ---
    Then, on February 5th.
[03:56] ---

[03:57] ---
    The B-Rank Wars, Round 2!
[04:05] ---
    Setting off! Mikumo Squad
[04:11] ---
    Today, like the other day,
    this B-Rank Wars site is...
[04:15] ---
    filled with a hot, hot air of excitement
    from the Border agents...
[04:20] ---
    who came here to see
    the white-knuckle battle.
[04:24] ---
    I'll do the play-by-play today again
    since my schedule happens to be open!
[04:28] ---
    B-Rank, Ebina Squad
    Operator: Sakurako Taketomi (15)

[04:28] ---
    Like the dianthus flower,
    I'm in my prime as a girl - 15 years old!
[04:31] ---
    I'm Sakurako Taketomi.
    And for commentary, we have...
[04:34] ---
    two Outstanding Distinguished Service
    Award winners from the recent invasion.
[04:39] ---
    His favorite foods are
    sashimi and tempura.
[04:42] ---
    He has long shiny black hair.
[04:44] ---
    He's a grad student sniper -
    Captain Azuma of Azuma Squad.
[04:46] ---
    B-Rank, Azuma Squad, Captain
    Sniper: Haruaki Azuma (25)

[04:49] ---
    Thank you.
[04:50] ---
    And he's like the most beloved
    small dog in Border,
[04:53] ---
    Midorikawa-kun from Kusakabe Squad
    is here with me.
[04:53] ---
    A-Rank, Kusakabe Squad
    Attacker: Shun Midorikawa (14)

[04:56] ---
    Woof! Thanks!
[04:58] ---
    Oh, Azuma-san will give commentary!
[04:58] ---
    B-Rank, Chano Squad
    Gunner: Itsuki Fujisawa (16)

[05:00] ---
    We gotta see this.
[05:02] ---
    B-Rank, Chano Squad, Captain
    Gunner: Makoto Chano (16)

[05:02] ---
    Anyway, is the crowd bigger
    than usual today?
[05:06] ---
    I think I know why.
[05:08] ---
    Middle Group (Night)
    008 Suwa Squad
    010 Arafune Squad
    012 Tamakoma-2

[05:08] ---
    Today's attention-grabber is,
    of all teams,
[05:11] ---
    Tamakoma-2 that scored eight
    in their last perfect victory.
[05:15] ---
    Maybe because of their growing popularity,
    some off-duty A-Rankers are here to watch.
[05:19] ---
    A-Rank, Arashiyama Squad, Captain
    All-rounder: Jun Arashiyama (19)

[05:20] ---
    Mikumo-kun joins his team today.
[05:23] ---
    I wonder how they're gonna fight.
[05:26] ---
    A-Rank, Arashiyama Squad
    All-Rounder: Mitsuru Tokieda (16)

[05:26] ---
    He's not gonna add that much strength,
    I think.
[05:27] ---
    A-Rank, Arashiyama Squad
    All-Rounder: Ai Kitora (15)

[05:29] ---
    You're quite harsh about him as always.
    Is there some reason for that?
[05:33] ---
    No. Nothing at all.
[05:35] ---
    A-Rank, Miwa Squad
    Attacker: Yosuke Yoneya (17)

[05:35] ---
    Here, here!
[05:37] ---
    A-Rank, Kako Squad
    Attacker: Futaba Kuroe (13)

[05:38] ---
    This seat is open and...
    aren't you with Kako-san?
[05:42] ---
    It's none of your business,
    Yoneya senpai.
[05:45] ---
    You don't have to be so cautious.
    I'm not gonna do anything to you.
[05:49] ---
    I'm not being cautious at all.
[05:51] ---
    A-Rank, Miwa Squad
    Sniper: Shohei Kodera (16)

[05:51] ---
    H-Hello...
[05:53] ---
    Hi.
[05:54] ---
    Now, Azuma-san.
[05:56] ---
    We don't often see a team
    scoring eight points in a match.
[06:01] ---
    Well, it's amazing.
[06:03] ---
    It shows how Tamakoma-2 is
    not like ordinary newcomers.
[06:08] ---
    Yuma senpai is strong. He has risen up
    to B-Rank before I knew it.
[06:11] ---
    I heard, Midorikawa-kun, you fought
    Agent Kuga of Tamakoma in a solo match.
[06:16] ---
    Whoa! Are we gonna talk about that now?
[06:19] ---
    Yes, I got defeated by two to eight!
    I bit the dust!
[06:23] ---
    - He beat Midorikawa?!
    - No way!
[06:26] ---
    But we made a promise to have
    another ten-round match and I'll win it!
[06:31] ---
    Shun got defeated? By two to eight?
[06:34] ---
    It was a good fight.
[06:37] ---
    Well, because he stole my fight,
[06:40] ---
    I still haven't had a solo match
    with Kuga.
[06:45] ---
    012 Tamakoma-2
[06:50] ---
    Today, Tamakoma-2 faces off against
    Suwa Squad that is good at close combat
[06:55] ---
    and Arafune Squad,
    good at long-range shoot-outs.
[06:57] ---
    They both have
    distinctive fighting styles.
[07:00] ---
    The lowest-ranked Tamakoma-2 has
    the right to choose the stage.
[07:04] ---
    So, they got to pick a favorable landscape
    for themselves first.
[07:08] ---
    Stage Set
[07:10] ---
    Now, the stage has been selected!
[07:13] ---
    The stage Tamakoma-2 chose is...
[07:15] ---
    Cityscape C
[07:16] ---
    Cityscape C!
[07:19] ---
    It's a hilly cityscape with sloping paths
    at different elevations!
[07:23] ---
    But it looks like...
[07:25] ---
    it's the best for snipers to me...
[07:29] ---
    The best for snipers... it is.
[07:37] ---
    Stage Set
    Cityscape C

[07:45] ---
    As Border's first-ever sniper,
    could you explain the stage?
[07:50] ---
    Okay.
[07:53] ---
    This stage has a landscape
    intersected by streets
[07:56] ---
    with houses built along
    the terraced hillside.
[08:01] ---
    You need to cross the streets
    in order to go uphill so...
[08:05] ---
    if a sniper takes a high position,
    he gets a big advantage.
[08:09] ---
    But if you're on a lower level,
    the buildings are in your way
[08:12] ---
    so it's hard to take aim at somebody
    while hiding.
[08:16] ---
    Even more so if you don't have
    a long-range weapon.
[08:18] ---
    I see.
[08:20] ---
    Where each agent will be transmitted
    is completely random.
[08:24] ---
    In other words, luck is...
[08:26] ---
    one of the major factors that will decide
    the outcome of the battle.
[08:31] ---
    Incidentally, Tamakoma has
    a very powerful sniper.
[08:39] ---
    Is it an "If we can take a high position,
    maybe..." kind of plan?
[08:43] ---
    Hmmm... I don't know.
[08:46] ---
    Their sniper is less skilled so the odds
    are against them if they fight normally.
[08:52] ---
    What about Suwa Squad
    which has no sniper...?
[08:56] ---
    Well, it'll be super tough for them.
[08:58] ---
    They can't even move
    if another team gets the high ground.
[09:00] ---
    I bet Suwa-san is upset now.
[09:03] ---
    Suwa Squad Operation Room
[09:03] ---
    Huh?! Cityscape C?!
[09:06] ---
    B-Rank No.8 (Provisionally)
    Suwa Squad
    Gunner: Kotaro Suwa (21)

[09:06] ---
    Screw them! That stage is crap!
[09:09] ---
    Why didn't they just pick A or B?!
[09:11] ---
    B-Rank No.8 (Provisionally)
    Suwa Squad
    Gunner: Daichi Tsutsumi (20)

[09:12] ---
    This is quite tough...
[09:13] ---
    B-Rank No.8 (Provisionally)
    Suwa Squad
    Attacker: Hisato Sasamori (16)

[09:14] ---
    Isn't Tamakoma concerned about snipers?
[09:17] ---
    B-Rank No.8 (Provisionally)
    Suwa Squad
    Operator: Rui Osano (17)

[09:17] ---
    Your starting points could be anywhere
    so we still have a chance.
[09:22] ---
    We gotta get up there at any cost
    before anyone else.
[09:26] ---
    If we win this, we'll move up
    into the top group. Let's do it!
[09:30] ---
    Yeah!
[09:31] ---
    Arafune Squad Operation Room

    Sniper:Tetsuji Arafune (18)

[09:36] ---
    B-Rank No.10 (Provisionally)
    Arafune Squad
    Operator: Rin Kagami (18)

[09:36] ---
    It's the best for snipers.
[09:39] ---
    Wonder why they picked it.
[09:41] ---
    B-Rank No.10 (Provisionally)
    Arafune Squad
    Sniper: Yoshito Hanzaki (15)

[09:41] ---
    Maybe they've never fought
    against snipers.
[09:45] ---
    B-Rank No.10 (Provisionally)
    Arafune Squad
    Sniper: Atsushi Hokari (18)

[09:45] ---
    It's good for us.
[09:48] ---
    Watch out for Tamakoma-2's sniper
    just in case.
[09:53] ---
    The rest is as usual.
[09:54] ---
    Roger.
[09:55] ---
    Seconds Before Transmission
    Tamakoma-2 Operation Room

[09:56] ---
    All right! Let's do this!
[10:00] ---
    Trigger on!
[10:19] ---
    Mm-hm! Mm-hm!
[10:21] ---
    The matching squad uniforms!
    How exciting!
[10:24] ---
    Tamakoma-2 is finally setting off
    for real!
[10:27] ---
    Osamu-kun, are you ready
    for your first match as a team?
[10:32] ---
    I don't know if my strategy will...
[10:34] ---
    really work against Suwa-san,
    Arafune-san, and the others.
[10:38] ---
    I'm still worried...
[10:40] ---
    You did a lot of research and
    worked it out. It'll be okay.
[10:44] ---
    Stop worrying!
[10:47] ---
    Uh-huh!
[10:47] ---
    Mm-hm! Mm-hm!
[10:49] ---
    You won't die even if you lose.
[10:52] ---
    Just go through with your plan!
[10:55] ---
    Okay!
[10:56] ---
    Begin Transmission
[10:58] ---
    Alright! Let's go!
[10:59] ---
    B-Rank Wars. Begin Transmission.
[11:10] ---
    Now, each agent has spawned
    in a random spot in the stage!
[11:15] ---
    Will each individual location bring them
    good luck or bad?!
[11:20] ---
    Captain Arafune, Agent Hanzaki,
    Agent Hokari of Arafune Squad,
[11:24] ---
    and Agent Amatori of Tamakoma-2...
[11:26] ---
    Those four snipers activated
    their Bagworm!
[11:29] ---
    They became invisible to radar!
[11:32] ---
    Not letting your opponents know
    where you are is...
[11:35] ---
    one of the most fundamental tenets
    of being a sniper.
[11:39] ---
    The all-sniper team, Arafune Squad.
[11:41] ---
    All three of them head straight
    to the hill, of course!

[11:44] ---
    Looks like Agent Hanzaki has
    arrived in a good spot!

[11:47] ---
    Suwa Squad is following them!
[11:49] ---
    And Tamakoma-2 also...
[11:52] ---
    No, they're not following them!
[11:54] ---
    Seems like they are prioritizing
    their rendezvous.
[11:57] ---
    They're all at their most vulnerable
    right after they are sent in.
[12:01] ---
    Rendezvous is not a bad idea.
[12:03] ---
    I see.
[12:05] ---
    But...
[12:06] ---
    Arafune Squad will get a position
    above us if nothing is done!
[12:10] ---
    I was spawned in a bad spot!
    Gotta hurry up!
[12:35] ---

[13:59] ---
    Suwa-san!
[14:00] ---
    Don't rush out.
    You'll die unless you stick to the walls.
[14:04] ---
    Agent Sasamori escaped by a hair!
[14:06] ---
    Hokari put the brakes on him.
[14:08] ---
    He couldn't get him but
    now it's hard for Suwa Squad to advance.
[14:13] ---
    That was good.
[14:15] ---
    Meanwhile, Captain Arafune makes his way
    past them and keeps going up!
[14:19] ---
    All Arafune Squad members are
    above the others now!
[14:22] ---
    I bet Suwa-san is cursing like
    "Dammit! What a pain!"
[14:27] ---
    Dammit!
    What a pain-in-the-butt situation!
[14:31] ---
    So far, we're doing perfect.
[14:37] ---
    She shot at us!
[14:40] ---
    What an amateur.
    You showed us where you are.
[14:45] ---
    Shield!
[14:47] ---
    One more, Chika!
[14:48] ---
    Uh-huh!
[14:50] ---
    Aim where you just saw the spark!
[14:55] ---
    Look at that power!
    It's almost like a cannon!
[14:58] ---
    Tamakoma-2 surprisingly
    put up a shoot-out!
[15:02] ---
    Oh, I see...
[15:04] ---
    Captain Azuma, what do you think of
    this development?!
[15:08] ---
    Tamakoma-2 has a disadvantage.
[15:12] ---
    She's got the firepower but she can't see
    how Arafune Squad moves from beneath.
[15:16] ---
    Plus, everytime she shoots,
    they'll know where she is.

[15:20] ---
    On the other hand, Arafune Squad can see
    their target clearly from above.

[15:25] ---
    No matter how many shields they put up,
    their defense will soon be broken down.

[15:30] ---
    Like Captain Azuma just said,
[15:32] ---
    Tamakoma-2 is getting hammered
    one-sidedly!
[15:36] ---
    Maybe, they were too reckless to challenge
    the professional snipers with theirs?!
[15:40] ---
    No, I don't think they're trying to
    win the shoot-out in the first place.
[15:43] ---
    What?
[15:45] ---
    Arafune-kun!
[15:50] ---
    Yo, Arafune!
[15:51] ---
    Tsk! So it's a one-to-two battle!
[15:53] ---
    Oh! Suwa Squad has made it up there
    during the shoot-out!
[15:59] ---
    Tamakoma-2 opened fire earlier
    to cover for Suwa Squad.
[16:04] ---
    They knew they had no chance against
    Arafune Squad in a long-range shoot-out.
[16:07] ---
    Cityscape C
[16:08] ---
    By picking the stage and setting things up
    favorably for Arafune Squad purposely,
[16:13] ---
    they created mutual interest
    with Suwa Squad.
[16:15] ---
    Stage Set
[16:19] ---
    Tamakoma-2 really worked out the plan
    for this landscape.
[16:23] ---
    We pinned Arafune Squad!
    Let's take this into a melee!
[16:28] ---
    Okay, it's my job from here.
[16:31] ---
    Yuma.
[16:33] ---
    You and I have defense duty tonight.
[16:36] ---
    Let's take Chika home
    and go straight to the post.
[16:39] ---
    Roger, Reiji-san.
[16:41] ---
    Thank you.
[16:43] ---
    Osamu.
[16:46] ---
    You need to go home now.
    You've been at it since yesterday.
[16:50] ---
    I can't find a way to break
    Arafune Squad's formation...
[16:57] ---
    But...
[16:59] ---
    there is so much information
    about our opponents
[17:01] ---
    and less information about us
    so...
[17:04] ---
    I started to think
    that'd be advantageous to us.
[17:08] ---
    Too much is as bad as too little. If you
    try to see everything, there is too much.
[17:13] ---
    I'm just checking in on Suwa Squad and
    Arafune Squad so it'll be fine.
[17:19] ---
    Oh yeah.
[17:20] ---
    I gotta check that, too.
[17:23] ---
    That means I gotta consider
    this possibility...
[17:28] ---
    And now... And now,
    how can we outsmart them?
[17:33] ---
    No, in the first place...
[17:36] ---
    You just got out of the hospital.
    Take care of yourself.
[17:40] ---
    Yes... Thank you...
[17:45] ---
    Seeing that,
    we got to win no matter what.
[17:49] ---
    Uh-huh.
[17:55] ---
    Chika, you're on your own from here!
    Keep your head down at any cost!
[17:59] ---
    Listen to Usami senpai's instruction
    and if we get defeated, just bail out!
[18:04] ---
    Okay, I got it!
[18:06] ---
    Kuga!
[18:07] ---
    We gotta move up to A-Rank at any price!
    Let's earn some point!
[18:11] ---
    Okay!
[18:15] ---
    The odds were in Arafune Squad's favor
    for once!
[18:18] ---
    But while Tamakoma was shooting at them,
    Suwa Squad has snuck up on their prey!
[18:23] ---
    A sniper can't do anything
    when his opponent gets that close.
[18:28] ---
    Usually, it's...
[18:29] ---
    I'm sorry! It's my fault!
[18:32] ---
    I was distracted by Tamakoma and
    I didn't notice Suwa Squad disappeared!

[18:37] ---
    Not just their sniper's firepower
    but also...

[18:40] ---
    Tamakoma-2 moved to draw the snipers
    into shooting. That was a major play.

[18:47] ---
    It's totally in the gunners' range now!
[18:50] ---
    It might be tough
    even for Captain Arafune!
[18:53] ---
    - No.
    - What?
[18:55] ---
    That's a trap.
[19:01] ---
    Oh, wow!
[19:03] ---
    Agent Hanzaki of Arafune Squad
    was waiting for the chance!
[19:06] ---
    Captain Suwa's gonna bail out?!
[19:14] ---
    Jackpot!
[19:16] ---
    Ugh! Really?!
[19:18] ---
    Hanzaki's location confirmed!
[19:19] ---
    C-C-Can't believe it! He protected
    his head with a pinpoint defense!
[19:23] ---
    Hanzaki's accurate shooting
    worked negatively.
[19:27] ---
    - I see!
    - Oh...
[19:30] ---
    Normally, unless there's a big difference
    in Trion amount,
[19:33] ---
    you can't fend off Egret
    with just your shield.
[19:39] ---
    But if you predict your opponent's aim
    and concentrate your shield on one spot,
[19:44] ---
    you can defend yourself.
[19:47] ---
    But if his prediction was off,
    he would've died!

[19:50] ---
    Captain Suwa, such gut-strength!
[19:54] ---
    "Gut-strength"?
[19:55] ---
    "The strength of someone's gut."
    In other words, "grit"!
[19:59] ---
    He's truly manly man!
[20:01] ---
    Kotaro Suwa!
[20:10] ---
    Oh! He got another shot from Agent Hokari!
    He couldn't avoid it this time!
[20:16] ---
    He can't catch up on Captain Arafune
    right before him!
[20:20] ---
    That jerk!
[20:21] ---
    But now, the locations of all
    the Arafune Squad members are revealed.
[20:25] ---
    It's major considering the distance.
[20:28] ---
    I guess Suwa is thinking
    one of his legs was a necessary cost.
[20:32] ---
    Suwa-san, do you wanna retreat?
[20:34] ---
    No way! It's just starting from now!
[20:36] ---
    Right.
[20:37] ---
    Don't lose sight of Hanzaki, Tsutsumi!
[20:39] ---
    I'm catching up on him!
[20:41] ---
    Coming from beneath!
    Watch out!
[20:42] ---
    I see him! Tsutsumi-san, isn't it?
[20:45] ---
    No!
[20:46] ---
    It's Tamakoma!
[20:51] ---
    Whoa! What speed!
[20:53] ---
    Couldn't get a kill shot.
[20:55] ---
    One more!
[21:01] ---
    Oh, what a pain...
    I'm sorry.
[21:04] ---
    Trion body limit exceeded.
    Bail out.

[21:09] ---
    Agent Hanzaki, bailed out!
[21:12] ---
    This is what happens when a sniper gets
    closed in. He shouldn't have let them.
[21:19] ---
    So quick!
    But I know you can move like that...
[21:22] ---
    already!
[21:26] ---
    What?
[21:35] ---
    After this, we'll explain about
    the transmission in Rank Wars!

[21:38] ---
    WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
[21:39] ---
    About the transmission in Rank Wars
[21:40] ---
    Cityscape C was the stage that I picked.
    Will it bring us good luck or bad?!
[21:41] ---
    Cityscape C
[21:43] ---
    Big Victory
    Defeat

[21:45] ---
    Hmm.
[21:46] ---
    I believe the lowest-ranked team
    in a match can select a stage.
[21:49] ---
    008 Suwa Squad
    010 Arafune Squad
    Here now - 012 Tamakoma-2

[21:52] ---
    Right. You can also choose...
[21:53] ---
    Time: Noon
[21:54] ---
    Time: Evening
[21:54] ---
    the landscape and the weather,
    noon or evening, too.
[21:55] ---
    Weather: Rain
[21:57] ---
    But only the spot you'll be sent to
    in the stage is picked randomly.
[22:00] ---
    Random
[22:02] ---
    Oh.
[22:02] ---
    By the way, for this segment,
    I asked Usami senpai to...
[22:06] ---
    let us appear using the same transmission
    system they use in the Rank Wars.
[22:12] ---
    Sent in a random spot...
[22:14] ---
    Which means, in the Rank Wars, luck is
    one of the major factors to win.
[22:18] ---
    We're all at our most vulnerable until
    we create the best formation...
[22:21] ---
    from each starting point.
[22:23] ---
    It's important to change your tactics
    flexibly depending on your starting point.
[22:28] ---
    Anyway...
[22:31] ---
    with the stage you picked, it was possible
    that everybody could've gotten sent in...
[22:35] ---
    to the same bathroom of a house.
[22:37] ---
    Crammed into the space?
[22:37] ---
    Crammed
[22:38] ---
    I don't think they'd do
    such a malicious thing...
[22:42] ---
    You think so?
[22:43] ---
    It feels like I've been transmitted
    here maliciously...
[22:49] ---
    No! Why here?!
[22:51] ---
    Where did you get sent to, Kuga?!
[22:53] ---
    See you!
[22:56] ---
    The B-Rank War against Suwa and Arafune
    Squad is getting to the crucial part.

[23:01] ---
    What is the real purpose
    behind Osamu's strategy?
