[00:17] ---
    The Neighbors, the invaders from
    another dimension, and...

[00:19] ---
    Border Defense Agency, namely Border, keep
    having a fierce battle in Mikado City.

[00:24] ---
    A Border agent, Osamu Mikumo met...
[00:26] ---
    a mysterious boy, Yuma Kuga
    who claims he's a Neighbor.

[00:30] ---
    They associated with Chika and formed
    a team in Border's Tamakoma Branch.

[00:36] ---
    Meanwhile, the largest military nation
    in the Neighborhood, Aftokrator...

[00:39] ---
    came to invade but
    they forced their retreat successfully.

[00:44] ---
    With their determination reaffirmed,
    Yuma, Osamu, and Chika participate...

[00:48] ---
    in Border B-Rank Wars to be selected
    for the away squads to the Neighborhood.

[00:53] ---
    Mikumo Squad led by Osamu continued
    their winning streak in the Rank Wars.

[00:59] ---
    Yuma clashed with Ko Murakami, a member
    of their next opponent - Suzunari-1,

[01:03] ---
    in a solo Rank War skirmish but...
[01:06] ---
    because Murakami's Side Effect -
    enhanced sleep learning,

[01:09] ---
    he was defeated.
[01:12] ---
    The B-Rank Wars, Round 3.
[01:15] ---
    Will Mikumo Squad claim victory?
[01:15] ---
    Murakami
    Kuga

[01:22] ---
    Nasu Squad's Choice
[01:27] ---
    Yuma lost?!
[01:29] ---
    To who?! Kazama-san?! Tachikawa?!
[01:32] ---
    A guy named Murakami senpai.
[01:35] ---
    Murakami... Ko-san?!
[01:37] ---
    Oh no, you fought him already, huh?
[01:40] ---
    I was gonna tell you when you came back.
[01:43] ---
    - About Murakami senpai's Side Effect?
    - Uh-huh, yeah.
[01:47] ---
    It's well-known among attackers.
    Ko-san's enhanced sleep learning.
[01:53] ---
    Enhanced... sleep learning?
    What is it, exactly...?
[01:58] ---
    Roughly speaking,
    he has a tremendous learning ability.
[02:03] ---
    Even common people learn
    a variety of things...
[02:06] ---
    little by little everyday,
    through studying and training, right?
[02:10] ---
    But I heard Ko-san,
    with just a quick nap,
[02:13] ---
    can assimilate almost 100 percent of
    what he learned as his own experience.
[02:18] ---
    100 percent?!
[02:19] ---
    I see. That's why he needed the break.
[02:23] ---
    He learned my moves in the first half
    and countered them in the last half.
[02:28] ---
    Usami senpai,
    how do you know this so well?
[02:32] ---
    Suzunari Branch is kind of close by and
    we do defense duty together, too, so...
[02:37] ---
    So what was the score?
[02:40] ---
    It was 6 to 4.
[02:43] ---
    He got 5 in the last half.
[02:45] ---
    If it kept going,
    there would've been a bigger deficit.
[02:49] ---
    Boy... You gave your opponent
    the information about you...
[02:53] ---
    I couldn't help being curious.
[02:56] ---
    But I think it was good
    to fight him beforehand.
[02:59] ---
    Without any information,
    I can't work out my strategy.
[03:03] ---
    Now, what should I do?
[03:05] ---
    Thank you for the dessert.
[03:09] ---
    The opponent is evenly matched
    or stronger than Kuga which means...
[03:12] ---
    Yeah, it's hard to fight with a plan
    focusing on just Yuma-kun.
[03:16] ---
    Kuga is your only usable fighter
    who can really fight on his own.
[03:20] ---
    So you can't move up from B-Rank.
[03:23] ---
    Because you can't do anything
    once Kuga gets defeated.
[03:25] ---
    Kikuchihara senpai was right...
[03:29] ---
    Anyway, I'll start with
    collecting the opposing teams' data.
[03:33] ---
    Yeah, that's absolutely essential.
[03:37] ---
    Oh yeah, Kodera senpai said...
[03:39] ---
    Murakami senpai was the reason
    Arafune-san quit as an attacker...
[03:45] ---
    Ah, that's a rumor
    spreading among snipers.
[03:50] ---
    Arafune-san and Ko-san are the same age
[03:52] ---
    but Arafune-san joined Border
    way before Ko-san.
[03:56] ---
    So, at first, Arafune-san was teaching
    Ko-san how to use a sword but...
[04:01] ---
    Because Ko-san has that Side Effect,
[04:03] ---
    he got better than Arafune-san
    in six months or so.
[04:06] ---
    Do you think that was the reason
    after all?
[04:08] ---
    I think so.
    That was when he quit and...
[04:12] ---
    Was that the reason...?
[04:15] ---
    Osamu!
[04:16] ---
    Don't just think about Suzunari-1 and
    work out a strategy for Nasu Squad, too.
[04:22] ---
    Nasu Squad has the right
    to choose a stage this time.
[04:25] ---
    You'll get beaten
    if your plan isn't good enough.
[04:27] ---
    Yes. I know.
[04:30] ---
    That we'll be targeted...
[04:35] ---
    Border Suzunari Branch
[04:39] ---
    I heard you fought the guy
    from Tamakoma-2.
[04:42] ---
    I did. I won by 6 to 4.
[04:46] ---
    6 to 4 against you?!
    He's still in junior high, right?!

[04:57] ---
    You don't know that for sure.
    He'll learn things and get better, too.
[05:01] ---
    Plus, there's a chance he wasn't fighting
    all out in the solo match yesterday.
[05:06] ---
    You mean,
    he just tried to see how you fight?
[05:08] ---
    Maybe... Because it seemed like
    he was so used to fighting.
[05:14] ---
    I'll take care of him
    if we get into a one-on-one fight.
[05:17] ---
    But if we can take him out as a team,
    that's better.
[05:20] ---
    Yeah, you're right.

    Oh, Kuruma senpai,
    are you gonna eat instant ramen?!
SIGN    That same great original flavor!

[05:29] ---
    - Let me pour the hot water in for you!
    - Oh, Taichi, that's...
[05:34] ---
    Ran out of hot water?!

    Why didn't you check it first?!
[05:39] ---
    I'm sorry!
    I'm gonna boil some right away!
[05:42] ---
    It's okay. Don't worry.
    I'm boiling some now.

    You can eat my instant yakisoba
    instead, if you want!

    Boy, he's such a scatterbrain...
[05:52] ---
    Whoa-whoa, Kon-chan, it's nothing.
[05:57] ---
    I dumped the noodles out
    along with the water!
[06:00] ---
    Kuruma senpai!
[06:02] ---
    There's another one!
    There's another instant ramen!
[06:05] ---
    You can have this one...
[06:11] ---
    All the toppings fell out!
[06:15] ---
    He irritates me so much!
[06:18] ---
    Kuruma senpai... I'm sorry...
[06:21] ---
    I'm glad that you didn't drop the pot.
    You could've gotten hurt.
[06:25] ---
    I'll eat the one without toppings.
[06:28] ---
    We'll have a meeting after you eat.
[06:30] ---
    - Okay.

    4 to 1 against Murakami senpai in the

[06:46] ---
    He defeated Arafune-san and Shun-kun, too,
    and seeing yesterday's Rank War,
[06:51] ---
    this kid is definitely

    don't look so smooth to me.
[07:00] ---
    Do you think Kuga-kun plans
    the strategy and everything?

[07:03] ---
    Yeah, probably. Because he's
    different in level from the others.
[07:08] ---
    Amatori-chan's Trion is extraordinary,
    too, but...
[07:10] ---
    In the end,
    she didn't even score a point.

[07:14] ---
    She mainly just fires a cannon
    to tear apart their opponents.

[07:17] ---
    The one who tries to score points
    is Kuga-kun after all.

[07:20] ---
    Yeah, I'll make sure to keep that in mind.
[07:23] ---
    The problem is Suzunari.

[07:26] ---
    We took it into a melee yesterday but...
[07:28] ---
    we couldn't take down Murakami senpai
    after all.
[07:31] ---
    We lost six in a row to Suzunari-1 now.
[07:34] ---
    I don't think we can move ahead unless
    we fight distinctly like Arafune Squad.
[07:39] ---
    About that, actually, in the first round
    on the first day of this month,

[07:43] ---
    Suwa Squad won with two members
    remaining, against Suzunari-1.

[07:48] ---
    When we were on defense duty?
[07:50] ---
    Yes, we missed it.
[07:53] ---
    In that match, Suwa Squad gave up
    their attacker's firepower

[07:56] ---
    and took a measure not to get in
    Murakami senpai's reach no matter what.

[08:00] ---
    I think they figured they could win as
    long as they sealed off Murakami senpai.

[08:05] ---
    Suzunari and Tamakoma is
    similar on that point.

[08:08] ---
    They both have a formidable attacker
    but the others aren't that strong.

[08:11] ---
    Yeah, maybe you're right.
[08:13] ---
    So why don't we choose keeping a
    suitable distance for Nasu senpai?

[08:17] ---
    Forget about collective strength -
    if we focus on a mid-range battle,

SIGN    Individual point
[08:21] ---
    it's very favorable for us.
[08:23] ---
    Although we have less firepower than
    Suwa Squad, so...

[08:27] ---
    we'll fight defensively, keeping in mind
    running out the clock is an option.

[08:29] ---
    Then we have to pick a stage
    suited for that.
[08:33] ---
    The problem left now is
    what Akane-chan will be like...
[08:37] ---
    - Yeah.
    - You're right.

[09:28] ---

[09:31] ---
    I don't have to sleep
    since I got this body.
[09:35] ---
    Oh. Is that so?
[09:38] ---
    - Drink?
    - Thanks, thanks.
[09:41] ---
    I heard you got defeated badly.
    Osamu was worried about you.
[09:45] ---
    He was wondering if you're depressed.
[09:49] ---
    Was he?
[09:51] ---
    He's a sucker for those in need as always.
[09:55] ---
    I'm not particularly depressed. I know
    everybody's training themselves, too.
[10:01] ---
    I can't always win.
[10:03] ---
    But that's why it's fun
    to fight strong people.
[10:08] ---
    Whoever came up with the idea
    of the Rank Wars is quite smart.
[10:11] ---
    I like the fact no one'll die
    even if they lose.
[10:16] ---
    It was Kinuta-san and I
    who came up with it.
[10:18] ---
    Oh... Was it you, boss?
[10:20] ---
    And it was your father
    who came up with the system.
[10:25] ---
    It was a long time ago, when there were
    less than 10 Border members,

    he was talking about the future happily.

    No.7 Attacker
    Ko Murakami (17)

[14:24] ---
    Ko! What's wrong?!
[14:29] ---
    I don't know what's going on but he said
    Arafune-kun quit as an attacker suddenly.
[14:34] ---
    Ko-san got better than him
    almost instantly
[14:36] ---
    so he must've noticed
    the difference in talent.
[14:41] ---
    You always say unnecessary things!
[14:43] ---
    You don't know
    if you're the reason for sure...
[14:45] ---
    - It's always like this...
    - What?
[14:48] ---
    I learn things from people
    and when I start enjoying it,
[14:53] ---
    those who were there first
    start going away...
[14:57] ---
    Because the atmosphere of the group
    gets ruined.
[15:01] ---
    It's the same this time.
[15:03] ---
    All I did was learn the theory on
    attackers that Arafune put together.
[15:07] ---
    I didn't take the trouble
    that it's supposed to.
[15:11] ---
    I'm just stealing everybody's efforts
    with my Side Effect.
[15:18] ---
    But the Arafune-kun that I know
    would think like that?

[15:24] ---
    Theoretician Attacker
    Tetsuji Arafune (17)

[15:24] ---
    That's just
    that idiot is thinking too much.
[15:27] ---
    I planned to quit when I earned
    8000 points from the beginning.
[15:31] ---
    It sounds like an excuse
    so I didn't tell anybody.
[15:34] ---
    So Ko is not the reason as I thought,
    is he?
[15:37] ---
    It did hit me hard when
    he surpassed my points
[15:41] ---
    and I thought if he's an attacker,
    I don't have to be one for sure.
[15:44] ---
    But it's proven that you can reach
    the master level with my theory
[15:49] ---
    and I'm going to aim for the master level
    as a sniper next.
[15:53] ---
    And I'll reach the master level
    as a gunner after that.
[15:55] ---
    I'm looking to become the first
    perfect all-rounder since Kizaki-san.
[16:00] ---
    And I'll generalize the method
    by theorizing it
[16:02] ---
    and mass-produce perfect all-rounders -
    that's my goal.
[16:06] ---
    The direction I'm heading to is
    different from Ko's.
[16:08] ---
    Oh, that's very far-reaching!
[16:11] ---
    When I accomplish my goal, I'll drum
    the theory and techniques into Ko again.
[16:16] ---
    So, could you tell Ko that, too?!
[16:20] ---
    What?
[16:22] ---
    Hey, Ko, you idiot! I heard you're
    all wrapped up in yourself being stronger!

[16:27] ---
    You just beat me and you think
    you became a king or something?!

[16:30] ---
    "Stealing other people's efforts"?
    It's just that I taught you well!

[16:34] ---
    Don't overestimate yourself!
[16:36] ---
    Saying that arrogant crap...
[16:38] ---
    after you beat Tachikawa-san
    and Kazama-san and Kage!

[16:42] ---
    Period!
[16:44] ---
    Was it good enough?
[16:46] ---
    Yeah, it's perfect! Thanks!
[16:48] ---
    Arafune-san is just a plain nice person!
[16:51] ---
    Ko, you can become stronger
    in your own way.
[16:57] ---
    When we fight the Neighbors,
    we're all on the same side.

[17:00] ---
    I think everybody would say
    they're glad that you're strong.

[17:07] ---
    - Oh, Ko-san's up!
    - Done with your review?
[17:12] ---
    Yeah...
[17:15] ---
    I'm all ready.
[17:17] ---
    An exhibition hall, a riverbank,
    and an industrial area.
[17:21] ---
    Those are the three stages
    that I think Nasu Squad might pick.
SIGN    Tamakoma-2 Operation Room
[17:24] ---
    There are so many open spaces
    so it's easy to target someone to shoot.
[17:28] ---
    I see.
[17:29] ---
    Nasu Squad will probably go for
    middle-range battles mainly.
[17:32] ---
    Hmm, hmm. Why do you think so?
[17:35] ---
    Well, their ace, Nasu senpai is a shooter
    to begin with. That's one.
[17:40] ---
    But in the match on last Saturday,
    Suzunari-1 lost to Suwa Squad.
[17:44] ---
    I saw the record when I was
    preparing for Suwa Squad last time.
[17:48] ---
    Yeah? Suwa Squad beat Murakami senpai?
[17:52] ---
    Did they keep him away from them
    and shoot him like hell?
[17:54] ---
    Well, yes, to put it simply. I think
    it was actually more complicated...
[18:00] ---
    That was the only time that Suzunari...
    I mean, Murakami senpai...
[18:04] ---
    clearly got sealed off
    in the recent record.
[18:06] ---
    Nasu Squad has an advantage in a
    middle-range battle so they'll go for it.
[18:10] ---
    That'll work against us, too,
    since we have the same formation.
[18:15] ---
    If I were in their shoes, I think
    I'd devote ourselves solely to shooting.
[18:20] ---
    Hm-hm, mm-hm. I see.
[18:23] ---
    Unlike the last match,
    we're on the passive end.
[18:26] ---
    We'll try to face them as a whole
    as much as possible.
[18:29] ---
    No matter which stage they pick,
    we'll gather together first!
[18:32] ---
    - Let's do it as we practiced!
    - Roger!
[18:35] ---
    Trigger on!
[18:52] ---
    Trigger on!
[19:10] ---
    Let's go over one last time.
[19:13] ---
    The stage is a riverbank.
[19:15] ---
    We'll try to separate the other squads
    as much as possible, with the river.
[19:18] ---
    We'll be sent in randomly so it depends on
    our luck but we'll meet up first.
SIGN    Nasu Squad Operation Room
[19:22] ---
    Then, we'll bring down the bridge.
[19:24] ---
    Watch out for Murakami senpai
    and Kuga-kun while we're moving.
[19:27] ---
    Do you remember where we rendezvous,
    Akane?
[19:30] ---
    Yes! On the bank opposite Murakami senpai!
[19:30] ---
    B-Rank No.13 (Provisionally)
    Nasu Squad
    Sniper: Akane Hiura (15)

[19:33] ---
    Yeah, okay, are you alright now?
[19:36] ---
    Yes, I am!
[19:37] ---
    You were crying your eyes out
    yesterday...
[19:41] ---
    I shifted my emotional gear now!
[19:43] ---
    Do you have your Meteor?
[19:45] ---
    Yes, I have it for sure!
[19:47] ---
    Cover me, okay, Akane-chan?
[19:49] ---
    Count on me!
[19:51] ---
    Kuma-chan, I entrust the defense to you.
[19:53] ---
    I know.
[19:55] ---
    I'll score some points at any cost!
SIGN    Middle Group (Day)
    008 Tamakoma-2
    009 Suzunari-1
    013 Nasu Squad

[19:58] ---
    The B-Rank Wars, Round 3.
    The day matches are about to begin.
[20:03] ---
    I, Mikami from Kazama Squad, will do
    the play-by-play and for commentary,
SIGN    Fried Rice Crackers
[20:07] ---
    we have No.1 attacker -
    Tachikawa-san and...
[20:10] ---
    Mr. "want-a-fried-rice-cracker?" himself,
    Jin-san.
[20:13] ---
    - Thank you!
    - Thank you!
SIGN    Stage Set
[20:15] ---
    Now, the stage Nasu Squad chose is
    Riverbank A.
SIGN    Riverbank A
[20:18] ---
    What do you think they're looking for?
[20:21] ---
    Let's start with you, Tachikawa-san.
[20:23] ---
    Oh, should I be serious?
[20:25] ---
    Yes, serious!
[20:27] ---
    Well, it's for sealing attackers off,
    of course.
[20:31] ---
    Get to the opposite side
    and wreck the bridge,
[20:32] ---
    Nasu Squad, good at shooting,
    have less chance to get beat.
SIGN    Captain, Shooter
    Osamu Mikumo
    Squad member, Attacker
    Yuma Kuga

[20:36] ---
    Having said that, I guess both
    Suzunari and Tamakoma know it
SIGN    Squad member, Sniper
    Chika Amatori

SIGN    Captain, Gunner
    Tatsuya Kuruma
    Squad member, Attacker
    Ko Murakami

[20:40] ---
    so I don't think the winner will be
    decided just by the landscape.
SIGN    Squad member, Sniper
    Taichi Betsuyaku

[20:44] ---
    Even if they get separated,
    the river is just waist-deep
[20:47] ---
    so they can just force themselves
    to cross with backup.
[20:50] ---
    Well, I don't know about that...
[20:52] ---
    Oh, what?! Do you see anything?
[20:55] ---
    I don't know...
[20:58] ---
    It'll start in no time!
[21:00] ---
    All squads, send in!
[21:08] ---
    Th-This is...?!
[21:12] ---
    The stage: Riverbank A.
    Weather condition: Rain storm.

SIGN    After this, we'll explain about
    Yuma's body!

[21:21] ---
    WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
SIGN    About Yuma's body
[21:23] ---
    I've always been curious
    but when do you sleep?
[21:26] ---
    Like I told Rindo-san,
    I don't need to sleep.
SIGN    No need
[21:30] ---
    Since I got this body.
[21:32] ---
    "This body"...
    You mean, the Trion body?
SIGN    Trion body
[21:35] ---
    That's right. Since then,
    I've never slept.
[21:38] ---
    When the Rad thing happened,
    I was wondering.
SIGN    That time
[21:41] ---
    So you don't sleep.
[21:43] ---
    Hmm.
[21:45] ---
    How do you remember
    little things like that?
[21:48] ---
    It's my nature.
[21:50] ---
    But this Rank War that we fight against
    Murakami senpai is...
[21:53] ---
    interesting in that sense.
[21:55] ---
    Hm?
[21:56] ---
    Enhanced sleep learning.
SIGN    Enhanced sleep learning
[21:58] ---
    Murakami senpai has that Side Effect so he
    learns and gets stronger while sleeping.
SIGN    The secret of his strength: Sleep
[22:03] ---
    In contrast, Kuga has a sleepless body.
SIGN    The no-sleep-needed body
    Trion body

[22:05] ---
    I just thought you two facing each other
    in this Rank War is a curious coincidence.
SIGN    Contrasting
[22:10] ---
    Hmm.
[22:11] ---
    Now that you mention it, maybe it is.
[22:14] ---
    By the way,
    what are you like while sleeping?
[22:17] ---
    I had a dream that
    a Bamster came to attack me.
[22:20] ---
    Even in a dream, you're like that.
[22:22] ---
    But Jin-san saved me so I was okay.
[22:26] ---
    Osamu won't get stronger
    no matter how much he sleeps!
[22:29] ---
    That'd be what Jin-san's Side Effect
    tells him.
[22:33] ---
    See you!
[22:36] ---
    Nasu Squad steadily executes their plan
    in the rain storm.

[22:40] ---
    Can Mikumo Squad led by Osamu
    claim victory?

[22:44] ---
    Next time on WORLD TRIGGER:
    The Battle in the Foul Weather

[22:47] ---
    Trigger on!
