[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.

[00:25] ---
    A Border agent, Osamu Mikumo,
    along with Yuma Kuga and Chika Amatori,

[00:28] ---
    formed a team in Tamakoma Branch.
[00:31] ---
    In the Rank Wars, Round 3,
    Osamu's strategy worked out well

[00:35] ---
    which let them barely defeat the tough
    opponents and move up the ranks.

[01:08] ---
    Trigger on.
[01:30] ---
    You all right, Four-Eyes?
[01:38] ---
    It's been a while since
    I had that dream...

[01:54] ---
    Jin-san at that time...
[01:57] ---
    Have I become like him
    even a little now?

[02:05] ---
    So far in the Rank Wars, our team has
    moved up the ranks successfully for sure.

[02:12] ---
    But...
[02:14] ---
    I still haven't scored even a point
    by myself.

[02:19] ---
    Osamu.
[02:21] ---
    Stop getting lost in thought
    while you're eating.
[02:24] ---
    You're like your father.
[02:26] ---
    I took the trouble to make
    your favorite cream croquettes.
[02:29] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[02:32] ---
    You look distressed.
[02:35] ---
    I bet that's something you have to
    resolve yourself but...
[02:40] ---
    you should not forget.
[02:41] ---
    When you're tired of suffering,
    you have a place to come home to.
[02:47] ---
    Mm-hm.
[02:55] ---
    It's a nice morning, isn't it?
[02:58] ---
    Chika, aren't you tired from
    the nonstop fighting?
[03:01] ---
    You haven't taken a break
    from sniper training, either.
[03:03] ---
    No no, I'm totally fine.
[03:06] ---
    How about you?
    You always think of strategies until late.
[03:11] ---
    I...
[03:13] ---
    still have to work harder.
[03:19] ---
    Yuma-kun!
[03:23] ---
    Go for A-Wrank
[03:23] ---
    Guys! The time has finally come!
[03:28] ---
    We'll have the fateful battle
    against the B-Rank top teams!
[03:33] ---
    I'm expecting you guys to
    make tremendous efforts!
[03:36] ---
    Yeah...
[03:37] ---
    It's a great chance for
    us Tamakoma Branch...
[03:40] ---
    to let them know, surely, perfectly,
    fully, firmly,
[03:43] ---
    entirely, keenly,
    how super excellent we are!
[03:48] ---
    Yeah!
[03:49] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[03:52] ---
    Cut it out.
[03:55] ---
    Now, I think I told you before but...
[03:58] ---
    the ability of the B-Rank top group
    is "very so-so."
[04:02] ---
    Each squad has an A-Rank-level ace
    and some squads were once A-Rank.
[04:08] ---
    So in other words, if we can score
    against the B-Rank top group,
[04:12] ---
    it means we have the potential
    to move up to A-Rank.
[04:16] ---
    Chika. Your aim is to
    move up to A-Rank and...
[04:19] ---
    get selected for the away squads, correct?
[04:21] ---
    Um... Yes.
[04:23] ---
    You wanna go find your brother,
    right?
[04:25] ---
    Yes.
[04:26] ---
    And Yuma-kun wants to go look for Replica.
[04:29] ---
    Uh-huh.
[04:30] ---
    The away squads, huh?
    You set quite a high bar for yourselves.
[04:34] ---
    But having goals will help you
    to get better.
[04:39] ---
    Yeah, I run the cash register
    at the supermarket part-time but...
[04:42] ---
    The National Cashier Contest
    Second/Champion/Third

[04:43] ---
    since I have a goal to become the manager,
    I got faster at it than anybody else.
[04:47] ---
    What?! Torimaru, you're that good?!
[04:51] ---
    Oh...
[04:51] ---
    Osamu, not only her
    but you fell for that, too.
[04:57] ---
    Hey! I got fooled again
    because you fell for it!
[05:01] ---
    Why do you blame it on me?!
[05:05] ---
    The same old same old.
[05:10] ---
    Joking aside,
[05:12] ---
    Yuma has enough potential to be
    selected for the away squads.
[05:16] ---
    Because I'm training him.
[05:19] ---
    Oh, I feel so grateful.
[05:21] ---
    Talking about potential,
    Chika has a high degree of it, as well.
[05:25] ---
    Her Trion amount will absolutely help
    when it's needed.
[05:31] ---
    Stare...
[05:42] ---
    Torimaru,
    why don't you say something about him?
[05:46] ---
    Oh yeah!
    I gotta leave for my part-time job.
[05:48] ---
    - Hey, you...
    - It's okay!
[05:51] ---
    I know my ability pretty well.
[05:55] ---
    I'm gonna go out for a while.
    I don't know why but I can't keep still.
[06:00] ---
    Excuse me.
[06:03] ---
    Osamu-kun?
[06:07] ---
    Hey! You're Osamu's master, right?!
    Why are you so cold to him?!
[06:12] ---
    When it comes to this,
[06:13] ---
    it's for the best to let him do
    as he likes rather than intervene.
[06:17] ---
    You think so?
[06:26] ---
    I left without thinking
[06:28] ---
    but what should I do to become stronger?

    All-rounder: Ai Kitora (15)

[07:08] ---
    You came into the set
    while we're filming the PR video!
[07:11] ---
    What are you thinking, Mikumo-kun?!
[07:14] ---
    Kitora! Filming?!
[07:17] ---
    Cut! Cut! Cut!!
[07:20] ---
    You got to be kidding! Please!
[07:23] ---
    Mikumo-kun!
[07:25] ---
    Oh, sorry! I was lost in thought.
[07:28] ---
    "Lost in thought"?!
    You almost ruined the whole filming!
[07:36] ---
    Kitora, you're...
[07:37] ---
    Wh-What?
[07:39] ---
    ...really amazing!
[07:48] ---
    I wonder where Osamu-kun goes...
[07:52] ---
    I don't know.
[08:01] ---
    As far as the wind is cold,
    or the sky is high.
[08:04] ---
    In this world, when it gets colder,
    the sky rises higher?
[08:08] ---
    The air becomes clearer in the winter
    so it just looks like that, I mean.
[08:12] ---
    Oh...
[08:14] ---
    Chika, you're a romanticist.
[08:17] ---
    No, it's not that.
[08:23] ---
    This world is far more interesting
    than I heard from my father.
[08:28] ---
    I keep getting surprised
    by things I see or hear.
[08:32] ---
    Thanks to Osamu.
[08:35] ---
    If he didn't give me the purpose,
[08:38] ---
    I wouldn't have had
    this much fun everyday.
[08:43] ---
    I'm grateful to him, too.
[08:45] ---
    If he didn't encourage me,
    I probably...
[08:49] ---
    couldn't have smiled
    and looked up to the sky like this.

[08:56] ---
    About Tamakoma-2's Rank Wars?
[09:00] ---
    Okay, to be frank with you,
[09:03] ---
    you're depending on Yuma Kuga too much.
[09:07] ---
    I know it's usual to work out strategies
    focusing on an ace but...
[09:11] ---
    it's not like he'll never lose.
[09:14] ---
    Even if you lose him, the remaining
    two of you have to be capable of scoring.
[09:20] ---
    Otherwise, it'd be hard to move up higher.
[09:24] ---
    Chika is enough power for us.
[09:27] ---
    The one who's not helping is...
[09:29] ---
    Hey, Kitora.
    How did you become stronger?
[09:32] ---
    What? How did I...?
[09:38] ---
    It's obviously because I had talent.
[09:40] ---
    Then, what do you think I should do
    to become stronger?
[09:43] ---
    Well...
[09:44] ---
    I don't know because
    I've always had talent.
[09:51] ---
    I was wrong to ask your advice.
    Bye.
[09:54] ---
    H-Hey, you're so impatient!
    Try to ask me a little bit more!
[09:59] ---
    A-Rank, Arashiyama Squad
    All-rounder: Mitsuru Tokieda (16)

[09:59] ---
    Even if you think to yourself in your
    mind, you can't become stronger, I think.
[10:04] ---
    H-He's right!
    Stop thinking too much
[10:07] ---
    and do more... with your body?
[10:09] ---
    Even if I think in my mind...
[10:13] ---
    Kitora!
[10:14] ---
    Could we have a mock fight?!
[10:16] ---
    Huh? Why should I fight you?
[10:20] ---
    What?!
[10:21] ---
    Then, tell me the things
    that I have to change!
[10:25] ---
    W-Wait, Mikumo-kun...
[10:27] ---
    You said such harsh things.
    Why don't you help him?
[10:31] ---
    Tokieda senpai!
[10:32] ---
    I'm begging you!
[10:34] ---
    A-All right!
[10:35] ---
    Thank you, Kitora! Then...!
[10:38] ---
    What...
[10:39] ---
    Wh-What are you doing?!
[10:40] ---
    Let's go to the virtual training room
    in HQ!
[10:43] ---
    H-Hey! Don't pull me like that!
[10:48] ---
    I wonder if I can pay my debt
    to Osamu-kun, someday.
[10:53] ---
    I'm always getting something
    without giving back. From you, too.
[10:57] ---
    Ever since my brother disappeared,
    I'd been thinking I gotta do something...
[11:02] ---
    But if I were by myself,
[11:04] ---
    I probably couldn't say
    I wanna join Border.
[11:09] ---
    So I wanna pay you two back someday...
[11:11] ---
    You're getting it all wrong.
[11:14] ---
    Both Osamu and I are just doing
    whatever we want.
[11:20] ---
    It's just, for me...
[11:22] ---
    If I run away from what I think
    I should do even once, then surely,
[11:27] ---
    I'll end up running when I
    really need to stay and fight.
[11:32] ---
    I know that,
    that's the kind of person I am.
[11:39] ---
    So, I'm not doing it for others.
[11:43] ---
    I'm doing it for myself.
[11:47] ---
    Then, I'll pay my debt
    because I wanna do so!
[11:51] ---
    I've always thought so
    but you're stubborn.
[11:55] ---
    A-Am I?
[11:57] ---
    Uh-huh. You're like Osamu.

[12:10] ---
    Do you really wanna do this?
[12:12] ---
    Yes, please, Kitora.
[12:13] ---
    It's Kitora-san to you.
[12:15] ---
    I beat the crap out of you so that
    you'll never call my name without respect.
[12:20] ---
    I won't go easy on you!
[12:22] ---
    That's what I want!
[12:23] ---
    All right, we're ready, Four-Eyes.
    You can start anytime.

[12:31] ---
    But you can't have a crappy fight.
[12:34] ---
    Okay!
[12:35] ---
    The mock fight, begin!
[12:40] ---
    Who's advance did you say you wanna see?

    Mikumo down!

[12:46] ---
    You didn't even have much time
    to learn from me.
[12:50] ---
    Bye.
[12:51] ---
    One more!
[12:53] ---
    Mikumo-kun, with your level, it'll be
    the same no matter how many times you try.
[12:57] ---
    Then, I'll have dozens or hundreds of
    fights until I can find something!
[13:02] ---
    H-Hundreds?!
[13:04] ---
    Please, Kitora! Let's do one more!

[13:07] ---
    Hey, they say something interesting is
    happening in the virtual training room!
[13:10] ---
    Kitora from Arashiyama Squad
    and Mikumo from Tamakoma-2 are fighting!
[13:14] ---
    The four-eyed boy?
[13:17] ---
    Match 23! Mikumo, down!
[13:22] ---
    Match 35! Mikumo, down!
[13:26] ---
    Boy, how much longer will you
    keep doing this?
[13:28] ---
    Wait! Please! Just one more!
[13:32] ---
    I don't wanna help you with
    your self-torture anymore!
[13:36] ---
    Please!
[13:37] ---
    Then, do you want me to fight you,
    Mikumo senpai?
[13:41] ---
    Midorikawa!
[13:45] ---
    Match 50! Mikumo, down!
[13:49] ---
    His strength is different from
    Kitora's clever way of fighting.

[13:51] ---
    But I gotta defeat someone this strong!
    Otherwise, I can't move up to A-Rank...

[13:57] ---
    Despite your looks, you're tough,
    Mikumo senpai!
[14:00] ---
    It's my turn, then!

    This is like an intense fielding practice!
[14:36] ---
    Boy, he never changes...
[14:38] ---
    But this many agents are willing to
    spar with him. He's quite something.
[14:44] ---
    You're right.
[14:45] ---
    He's surprisingly weak as always.

    the way that your rescuee fights?
[14:57] ---
    Don't get it wrong.
[14:59] ---
    I don't remember fighting to save someone.
[15:12] ---
    I see... I can't believe
    Osamu-kun did such a thing...
[15:17] ---
    I wonder if he's doing okay
    on defense duty.
[15:20] ---
    He slept soundly for a while
    so he'll be alright, Jin-san said.
[15:26] ---
    Yuma-kun set out with him?
[15:28] ---
    Yes.
[15:29] ---

[18:21] ---
    and struggle...
[18:25] ---
    You are you.

    That's why I'm with you.

[19:53] ---
    What, Yuma?
[19:55] ---
    Why is Osamu such a sucker for
    those in need, and a worrier?
[19:57] ---
    A sucker for those in need
    A worrier

[19:59] ---
    Ummm...
[20:02] ---
    There are as many people in the world
    as there are stars in the sky
[20:05] ---
    and each of them is different.
[20:07] ---
    Hmm hmm.
[20:08] ---
    Their character makes them different
[20:10] ---
    and what you asked me is
    about Four-Eyes' character.
[20:13] ---
    Hm-hm.
[20:13] ---
    And because of that,
    I met Four-Eyes,
[20:17] ---
    then, Chika-chan and Yuma.
[20:19] ---
    I think so.
[20:21] ---
    I see. I see.
[20:22] ---
    And because he suffers over everything for
    a looong time and tries various schemes,
[20:29] ---
    you guys have no difficulty.
[20:31] ---
    Oh, that's very acute!
[20:33] ---
    Uh-huh, I think so.
[20:35] ---
    You have to thank him and hope he'll
    suffer for you, more than anybody else!
[20:39] ---
    That's our Jin-san!
    You're us three's older brother, right?
[20:43] ---
    Oh, I can't believe you remember that!
    That's what I told Konami, huh?
[20:47] ---
    Yes, I remember it, too.
[20:49] ---
    That was a joke but I always
    treat you guys in that spirit.
[20:55] ---
    Thank you in advance!
[20:57] ---
    I think so.
    Thank you in advance!
[21:00] ---
    Four-Eyes is an indispensable presence
    for you guys. You must cherish him.
[21:06] ---
    - Hmm hmm.
    - I think so.
[21:09] ---
    Seems like it'll be sunny tomorrow.
[21:11] ---
    - Hmm hmm.
    - I think so.
[21:14] ---
    Capybaras are cute, aren't they?
[21:15] ---
    - Hmm hmm.
    - I think so.
[21:18] ---
    I guess Four-Eyes is great...
[21:20] ---
    - Hmm hmm.
    - I think so.
[21:23] ---
    See you!
[21:30] ---
    And we saw one dream in this place...
[21:30] ---
    soshite boku tachi wa kono basho de
    hitotsu no yume wo mita...

[21:44] ---
    The reality you're seeing is
    the roulette of fortune

[21:44] ---
    kimi ga miteru genjitsu wa
    unmei no Roulette

[21:49] ---
    Do good things happen sometimes...
[21:49] ---
    tama ni ii koto aru nokana...
[21:52] ---
    If there are only bad things, bail out
[21:52] ---
    warui koto bakari ja Bail out
[21:55] ---
    Everybody is a dreamer
[21:55] ---
    mina dare demo Dreamer
[21:58] ---
    It doesn't have to be for somebody else
[21:58] ---
    dareka no tame ja nakute ii
[22:01] ---
    Advance for yourself
[22:01] ---
    jibun no tame ni ikeba iiyo
[22:03] ---
    The A-Rank (eternity)-feeling next stage!
[22:03] ---
    eikyuu kankaku no Next Stage!
[22:06] ---
    Even if only you become
[22:06] ---
    tatoe chikyuu de kimi dake ga
[22:09] ---
    Lonely on the Earth
[22:09] ---
    kodoku ni natta toshitemo
[22:12] ---
    I can side with you
[22:12] ---
    watashi wa kimi no mikata ni nareru
[22:15] ---
    That's surely friendship (teamwork), too
[22:15] ---
    kitto sore mo Team da
[22:18] ---
    Found in the sky was
    the GATE (map) of the labyrinth

[22:18] ---
    sora ni mitsuketa meikyuu no chizu
[22:24] ---
    The world that's opened up in front
[22:24] ---
    me no mae ni hirakareta S-E-K-A-I
[22:28] ---
    Looking up at the sky full of stars
    drawing a dream

[22:28] ---
    manten no hoshi wo mitsume yume wo egaki
[22:32] ---
    Realized my heart beating faster
[22:32] ---
    takanatteru kodou wo shitta

    It's starting here right now, our story
[22:35] ---
    ima koko ni hajimari tsugeru

[22:41] ---
    To make it resound endlessly

    dokomademo hibiku youni
[22:43] ---
    To make this feeling last
[22:43] ---
    kono omoi kienu youni

    Mikumo Squad led by Osamu visits
    Shizuka City for camp training

[22:59] ---

    unknown Trion soldiers.
