[00:12] ---
    Activate the Spider,
    and you get a cube like this.
[00:17] ---
    Point the hooks where
    the wires should go...
[00:23] ---
    That's all you need to do.
[00:27] ---
    That's it?
[00:29] ---
    A black Lightning?
[00:31] ---
    Amatori-san, give it a try.
[00:34] ---
    Okay, I'll do it.
[00:39] ---
    I'm the commentator
    for the next match.
[00:42] ---
    You're going to amuse me, right?
[00:46] ---
    We'll do our best not to let you down.
[00:51] ---
    New Technique
[00:54] ---
    Good evening, Border agents!
[00:56] ---
    It's Sakurako Taketomi from Ebina Squad.
[00:59] ---
    The B-Rank Wars Day 5 night session
[01:01] ---
    will continue with my lively commentary!
[01:04] ---
    The other two commentators are...
[01:07] ---
    Tokieda senpai from Arashiyama Squad
    and Izumi senpai from Tachikawa Squad.
[01:12] ---
    Thanks for having us.
[01:14] ---
    Taketomi-san, you seem happy.
[01:16] ---
    Did you notice?
[01:18] ---
    Ahem. It's a bit personal, but...
[01:22] ---
    After the results of
    today's daytime match,
[01:25] ---
    my squad has finally advanced
    to the middle group!
[01:29] ---
    Wow! That's great.
[01:31] ---
    Congrats.
[01:33] ---
    We did it!
[01:35] ---
    So my commentary will be
    a bit chirpier than usual!
[01:40] ---
    Now, what's your take
    on the bracket today?
[01:43] ---
    Aside from the newcomer, Tamakoma-2,
[01:46] ---
    it's been a while since
    Katori and Kakizaki faced off.
[01:50] ---
    Katori Squad has always
    been in the top group.
[01:54] ---
    They dropped to middle
    'cause of Tamakoma, right?
[01:58] ---
    Yes. They were replaced by Tamakoma-2,
    who advanced in Round 3.
[02:03] ---
    Then they lost to Nasu Squad
    and are now B-Rank #9.
[02:07] ---
    Can they turn the table and show their
    ability as a former top group team?
[02:13] ---
    Kakizaki Squad dropped to the bottom
    after losing in Round 3,
[02:18] ---
    rejoined the middle group in Round 4,
    and is now B-Rank #13.
[02:22] ---
    Can they disprove their reputation
    of being overly cautious
[02:27] ---
    and claim victory?
[02:29] ---
    Being cautious isn't bad, though.
[02:33] ---
    In the last large-scale invasion,
[02:36] ---
    they were the only B-Rank squad
    with zero Bailouts.
[02:40] ---
    You're right! That is true.
[02:42] ---
    Sticking up for your comrade, huh?
[02:45] ---
    Of course.
[02:46] ---
    Captain Kakizaki used to be
    in Arashiyama Squad, right?
[02:51] ---
    Yes.
[02:53] ---
    He's still one of my dearest senpai.
[02:58] ---
    And the other team is this season's
    dark horse, Tamakoma-2!
[03:03] ---
    They joined the top with three wins,
    but lost with only one point in Round 4.
[03:08] ---
    The top teams were invincible!
[03:10] ---
    Only their ace, Kuga,
    is mainly earning points.
[03:14] ---
    How they overcome this flaw
    is the key to rejoining the top group.
[03:19] ---
    I think they have
    an interesting plan for that.
[03:24] ---
    Four-Eyes has a new technique?
[03:27] ---
    It's a secret.
[03:29] ---
    I can't wait to find out.
[03:31] ---
    Me too!
[03:35] ---
    We made it in time.
    They're about to start.
[03:45] ---
    (Take it)
[03:53] ---
    We are dreamers
[03:55] ---
    So it's the trigger
[03:57] ---
    It's up to you
[03:58] ---
    On the other end is
    Dawn Dawn Dawn
[04:00] ---
    Like a meteor
[04:02] ---
    Like a meadow
[04:04] ---
    It's an inevitable force
[04:06] ---
    A once-in-a-lifetime meeting
[04:07] ---
    The soft, precious gem
[04:11] ---
    Shined strongly into our eyes
[04:14] ---
    We have yet to see tomorrow's light
[04:18] ---
    We'll feel discouraged at times
[04:20] ---
    But let's break free from this labyrinth
[04:23] ---
    We won't stop
[04:24] ---
    My heart has arrived
    and it's pumping hard
[04:27] ---
    Wow wow oh
[04:31] ---
    Let's protect the future together
[04:35] ---
    Wow wow oh (Take it)
[04:38] ---
    Fighter, let's head to the other side
[04:42] ---
    Try, it's possible if we're together
[04:45] ---
    Higher, let's fly forward
[04:48] ---
    Before I lose sight of it one day
[04:52] ---
    Before I end up losing you
[04:56] ---
    We are dreamers
    So it's the trigger
[05:00] ---
    It's up to you
[05:02] ---
    On the other end is
    Dawn Dawn Dawn
[05:04] ---
    We are believers
    So it's the trigger
[05:07] ---
    Come on, let's go
[05:09] ---
    On the other end is
    Dawn Dawn Dawn
[05:12] ---
    A Few Minutes Earlier,
    Tamakoma-2 Strategy Room
[05:14] ---
    Let's review the opponents' tactics.
[05:19] ---
    Katori Squad is
    an ace-focused team like ours.
[05:22] ---
    Their ace gets the points, and the
    other two support with Chameleons.
[05:27] ---
    But Kakizaki Squad has no specific ace.
    They get points by attacking as a team.
[05:33] ---
    They're all equipped for
    close combat and shooting.
[05:37] ---
    Their Triggers are All-Rounder-based.
[05:40] ---
    It's like Arashiyama Squad
    without Satori-kun.
[05:44] ---
    Exactly.
[05:45] ---
    There are no Snipers
    in the opposing teams.
[05:49] ---
    The key to winning is
    Chika's long-range attacks.
[05:53] ---
    We're counting on you.
[05:55] ---
    Got it.
[05:56] ---
    Kakizaki Squad is versatile.
    They could choose any map.
[06:01] ---
    But I bet they'll pick a place with
    many buildings to block our Sniper.
[06:07] ---
    That's perfect for Osamu's new tactics.
[06:10] ---
    Yup. As planned, we'll set up
    a favorable situation, then fight.
[06:16] ---
    Roger!
[06:18] ---
    Kakizaki Squad
    Strategy Room
[06:18] ---
    We chose the industrial area.
[06:20] ---
    We'll block the Sniper with buildings
    and attack in the open.
[06:25] ---
    Did you memorize the map?
[06:27] ---
    Yes!
[06:28] ---
    Good.
[06:31] ---
    Tamakoma and Katori fight similarly.
[06:34] ---
    Both Kuga and Katori
    are ace point-getters.
[06:37] ---
    Never fight them alone.
[06:39] ---
    Understood!
[06:41] ---
    You met Kuga-kun the other day, right?
    What was he like?
[06:46] ---
    He seemed likable.
[06:47] ---
    That explains nothing.
[06:51] ---
    Oh, wait...
[06:53] ---
    He said they're aiming
    to get into the Away squad.
[06:58] ---
    The newcomers are already
    aiming for A-Rank?
[07:01] ---
    That's amazing!
[07:03] ---
    But Captain...
[07:04] ---
    We're not going to
    lose for them, right?
[07:08] ---
    Of course.
    We're not dropping down again.
[07:12] ---
    This team deserves
    a better place in the ranking.
[07:16] ---
    Our first priority is to regroup.
[07:19] ---
    Let's all win this!
[07:20] ---
    Roger!
[07:24] ---
    Katori Squad
    Strategy Room
[07:24] ---
    Having so little data
    makes Tamakoma look a bit uncanny.
[07:29] ---
    Rumor says the girl's family or friend
    was captured by the Neighbors.
[07:35] ---
    Really?
[07:36] ---
    So what?
[07:38] ---
    Huh?
[07:39] ---
    That's nothing unusual
    here at Border.
[07:43] ---
    I'm saying they're serious
    about the Away squad.
[07:46] ---
    Who cares? A captured family
    doesn't make you an A-Rank.
[07:51] ---
    Yoko-chan...
[07:53] ---
    Why don't you take this meeting
    more seriously?
[07:58] ---
    What are we going to do
    if we drop down again?
[08:02] ---
    What do you mean?
[08:03] ---
    If we lose, that just shows
    we're not capable, right?
[08:08] ---
    We dropped down and kept losing.
    She seems downhearted.
[08:15] ---
    Cut it out, Yoko.
[08:18] ---
    You're always like this after losing.
[08:21] ---
    Huh?
[08:22] ---
    What do you mean by "always?"
[08:24] ---
    You've always been the same!
[08:29] ---
    First, you were ranking up as an
    Attacker but switched to Gunner.
[08:31] ---
    Attacker
[08:34] ---
    I'm tired of being Attacker.
[08:36] ---
    But you got stuck
    and changed to All-Rounder.
[08:38] ---
    Gunner
[08:40] ---
    Gunner is boring.
[08:41] ---
    I'm gonna be an All-Rounder next.
[08:45] ---
    You keep switching
    every time you get stuck.
[08:50] ---
    I don't want to be lectured by
    a Gunner ranked lower than me.
[08:54] ---
    What did you say?!
[08:57] ---
    It's an elite's struggle.
[08:59] ---
    You've never made it to Master Class,
    so you don't get it.
[09:05] ---
    Yoko-chan, that's a bit...
[09:08] ---
    Yeah, you're right!
[09:11] ---
    You became Master Class
    in just six months.
[09:14] ---
    I trained for two years.
[09:16] ---
    Even Inukai senpai coached me,
    and I still can't reach you!
[09:21] ---
    But you're different!
[09:23] ---
    You excel without training.
    So why can't you try harder?!
[09:28] ---
    You always avoid trying your best!
[09:32] ---
    "An elite's struggle?"
[09:34] ---
    Say that after you've
    actually gone through one!
[09:52] ---
    You're too emotional.
[09:54] ---
    Pathetic.
[09:56] ---
    - You little...
    - Ro-kun!
[10:00] ---
    Our team's in the worst mood ever.
[10:05] ---
    Help us, Hana.
[10:08] ---
    Listen, you three.
[10:11] ---
    It's time.
[10:16] ---
    All squads, begin transmission!
[10:23] ---
    Transmission complete!
[10:26] ---
    All agents start from a random point
    spaced apart from each other.
[10:34] ---
    Only Chika is using a Bagworm.
[10:36] ---
    We can track enemies on our radars.
[10:38] ---
    Let's regroup first.
[10:40] ---
    Roger!
[10:41] ---
    The agents are on the move!
[10:44] ---
    This map is rather small.
    Did they all choose to regroup first?
[10:48] ---
    No...
[10:50] ---
    Katori-chan's going to attack.
[10:54] ---
    Oh, a one-on-one?
[10:56] ---
    All I have to do is win, right?
[11:07] ---
    Yoko-chan!
[11:08] ---
    That idiot charged in alone!
[11:11] ---
    Hurry and back her up.
[11:14] ---
    Got it!
[11:15] ---
    Captain Katori is quick
    to attack Agent Kuga!
[11:18] ---
    Is this an ace-on-ace battle?
[11:21] ---
    Agent Wakamura and Miura
    are running to help!
[11:24] ---
    But their drop-off points
    seem unfavorable.
[11:38] ---
    Captain, Katori-san
    and Kuga-kun are in sight.
[11:41] ---
    Maybe I can beat one of them
    with a Bagworm ambush.
[11:46] ---
    Shall I?
[11:47] ---
    No. Wait until we all meet up.
[11:50] ---
    It's lucky the enemy aces are fighting.
[11:53] ---
    When they're worn down,
    we'll crush them. Got it?
[11:58] ---
    Roger!
[11:59] ---
    Kakizaki Squad is moving to regroup.
    What about Tamakoma?
[12:03] ---
    Their Sniper's on a roof.
[12:08] ---
    I'm in position.
[12:11] ---
    Good. Keep track of the enemies.
[12:14] ---
    Usami senpai, please support Chika.
[12:17] ---
    Leave it to me.
[12:18] ---
    Agent Amatori secured a good spot!
    She's ready to cover her team.
[12:23] ---
    Captain Mikumo's not moving?
[12:25] ---
    He's waiting for Kuga
    to bring Katori-chan.
[12:32] ---
    Asteroid!
[12:34] ---
    Tch! Weak bullets!
[12:38] ---
    Mikumo confirmed.
[12:39] ---
    He's after Yoko.
    Whoever's close, cover her.
[12:43] ---
    Stay sharp for their Sniper.
[12:45] ---
    Copy that!
[12:46] ---
    Chameleon, on!
[12:48] ---
    There's two coming, Osamu-kun.
[12:50] ---
    They may be using a Chameleon.
    Keep watching your radar.
[12:55] ---
    Roger.
[12:56] ---
    I'm all ready to go.
[13:00] ---
    This is annoying.
[13:03] ---
    I'll take out the weak one first!
[13:14] ---
    ...the weak one first!
[13:18] ---
    Ro-kun!
    Yoko-chan's after Mikumo-kun.
[13:21] ---
    Got it!
[13:22] ---
    Katori Squad is now
    targeting Captain Mikumo!
[13:26] ---
    In Round 4, he lost instantly
    as the first target.
[13:30] ---
    How will he fight back this time?
[13:37] ---
    Yoko-chan!
[13:48] ---
    This is...
[13:49] ---
    A Lead Bullet?!
[13:56] ---
    You jerk!
[13:57] ---
    No! The little one's coming!
[14:07] ---
    What's that movement?!
[14:13] ---
    I missed by a bit.
[14:15] ---
    Let's move.
    There are too many wires here.
[14:19] ---
    But my arm...
[14:21] ---
    Wow.
[14:22] ---
    The Sniper's aiming.
    This spot is bad.
[14:26] ---
    Look who's talking.
[14:28] ---
    You're the one who charged in and...
[14:31] ---
    Stop nagging!
    You're putting me off!
[14:36] ---
    Tamakoma-2 has shown
    their new techniques!
[14:40] ---
    Captain Mikumo's wire Trigger, Spider,
    along with Agent Kuga's speed attacks!
[14:46] ---
    Plus, Agent Amatori's
    Lightning and Lead Bullet!
[14:50] ---
    Katori Squad quickly
    got badly damaged!
[14:54] ---
    I see. You can make Spider
    visible to just your team.
[14:59] ---
    It's an obstacle for enemies
    but a shield and foothold for Kuga.
[15:04] ---
    With Kuga's agility and Grasshopper
    combined, his mobility can skyrocket.
[15:10] ---
    Agent Amatori's Lightning
    and Lead Bullet is also interesting.
[15:14] ---
    Focused shields can't block it.
[15:17] ---
    Though Bagworms deactivate when firing,
    it's less noticeable than her cannon.
[15:23] ---
    But you can't use that combo
    without a vast amount of Trion.
[15:28] ---
    No one can copy her technique.
[15:31] ---
    Briefly after Round 4, Tamakoma-2
    is back with new techniques!
[15:37] ---
    Has defeat made them stronger?
[15:40] ---
    How will the other
    two squads fight back?
[15:44] ---
    Let's go.
[15:46] ---
    Round 5 started with Tamakoma-2
    and Katori Squad's ace-on-ace battle.
[15:52] ---
    Tamakoma's new tactic has dealt damage
    to Katori Squad on first contact.
[15:58] ---
    Agent Kuga pursues Katori Squad
    trying to leave the wired area.
[16:04] ---
    I can't predict his moves.
[16:06] ---
    We should focus on running.
[16:09] ---
    Kuga with the Spider
    is a better combo than I thought.
[16:13] ---
    Lighter guys can move
    more precisely in aerial combat.
[16:18] ---
    They didn't use it last time,
    so I bet it's recently acquired.
[16:23] ---
    Still, catching Kuga in the wired zone
    seems impossible.
[16:28] ---
    Tamakoma's using the Spider.
[16:31] ---
    Katori Squad's fleeing.
    Miura senpai's missing an arm.
[16:35] ---
    Which should we target?
[16:37] ---
    Katori Squad.
[16:39] ---
    Tamakoma's new tactic is unknown.
[16:41] ---
    Beat the wounded team first.
[16:46] ---
    Kakizaki Squad's coming.
[16:48] ---
    They're going to attack.
[16:50] ---
    It's a flank attack!
[16:52] ---
    But Katori Squad was aware,
    and they're firing back!
[16:56] ---
    Tamakoma-2 stopped pursuing.
[16:59] ---
    Will they not fight
    outside the wired area?
[17:08] ---
    There's an opening!
[17:13] ---
    Agent Tomoe broke
    the enemy team's guard!
[17:16] ---
    The firefight is
    in Kakizaki Squad's favor!
[17:20] ---
    Agent Miura losing an arm
    was a big disadvantage.
[17:23] ---
    He can't handle heavy Triggers
    like Kogetsu and Raygust with balance.
[17:30] ---
    Basically, it's three guns against two.
[17:33] ---
    Kakizaki Squad's fire force is stronger.
[17:38] ---
    I'll charge in.
[17:39] ---
    No! You'll get taken out by the barrage!
[17:42] ---
    Then what?!
    Just exchanging fire is no use.
[17:46] ---
    All of you...
[17:49] ---
    I want you to do as I say.
[17:53] ---
    What? Katori Squad
    is moving to an open field?
[17:57] ---
    Isn't fighting without obstacles
    more trouble?
[18:11] ---
    Hana! If we keep this up,
    we're going to lose!
[18:15] ---
    Nope.
[18:17] ---
    Don't worry.
[18:18] ---
    Zaki-san, behind you!
[18:25] ---
    Tamakoma!
[18:26] ---
    Now! Fire back!
[18:30] ---
    We're surrounded. Fall back!
[18:32] ---
    Roger.
[18:33] ---
    Tamakoma-2 attacked Kakizaki Squad!
[18:36] ---
    Kakizaki Squad withdraws
    to avoid the two forces!
[18:40] ---
    Katori Squad was rescued by Tamakoma-2!
[18:44] ---
    Katori Squad's destination
    seemed defenseless
[18:47] ---
    but was a good spot
    to form a pincer attack.
[18:51] ---
    Their analysis was spot on.
[18:53] ---
    But if Tamakoma hadn't moved,
    Katori Squad could've been destroyed.
[18:59] ---
    I bet they were positive
    Tamakoma would come.
[19:02] ---
    Tamakoma-2 aims to join the Away Squad.
[19:06] ---
    They need more points to rank up.
[19:09] ---
    Perhaps Katori Squad predicted they'd
    stop others from stealing their points.
[19:15] ---
    All the squads are separating.
    Is the match at a stalemate?
[19:20] ---
    They've all regrouped,
    so there's no need to rush.
[19:25] ---
    Their next move will determine
    the outcome of the match.
[19:30] ---
    Kuga, how were the wires in real battle?
[19:34] ---
    Pretty useful.
[19:38] ---
    Moving targets are hard to get,
    but I'm invincible mobility-wise.
[19:43] ---
    Good. I'll keep setting up wires.
[19:46] ---
    Chika.
[19:48] ---
    You're the key from now.
[19:50] ---
    Got it.
[19:54] ---
    Listen, Yoko.
[19:56] ---
    Never act on your own again.
[19:58] ---
    What?
    It's not like we lost, so drop it.
[20:03] ---
    You're unwounded
    only because we protected you!
[20:07] ---
    I never asked you to.
[20:10] ---
    You protect me because
    you can't win without me.
[20:14] ---
    Don't act like I owe you anything.
[20:17] ---
    You little...
[20:18] ---
    Guys, please...
[20:21] ---
    In this stalemate, Tamakoma-2 can
    set up as many wires as they want.
[20:26] ---
    Right. Tamakoma is steadily
    expanding their wire area.
[20:31] ---
    How will the other squads counter this?
[20:34] ---
    Let's ignore Tamakoma.
[20:36] ---
    We don't need to jump into their trap.
[20:39] ---
    Agreed.
[20:41] ---
    If we corner Katori Squad,
    Tamakoma should butt in again.
[20:46] ---
    Tamakoma wants points
    for the Away squad, right?
[20:50] ---
    If we fight Kakizaki Squad,
    they'll show up.
[20:54] ---
    We'll drag them away from the wires.
[20:58] ---
    Sounds like a plan.
[21:00] ---
    We don't want to fight
    Kakizaki Squad head-on.
[21:03] ---
    We'll use cover and attack.
[21:05] ---
    Our shields can't block
    Tamakoma's Lead Bullet.
[21:09] ---
    Watch out for it.
[21:14] ---
    We have some movement on the map!
[21:16] ---
    Kakizaki and Katori seem to plan
    to get points from each other.
[21:21] ---
    Have they chosen to avoid
    Tamakoma's traps
[21:25] ---
    and ignore them for now?
[21:28] ---
    I wonder...
[21:33] ---
    Can they ignore Tamakoma?
[21:50] ---
    If I can save someone with
[21:55] ---
    The purpose I harbor in my heart
[22:01] ---
    I'm willing to be a sacrifice
[22:06] ---
    A selfishness born from weakness
[22:13] ---
    Without noticing my many scabs
[22:15] ---
    My days pass by as I waver
[22:19] ---
    With my worn-out sneakers
[22:22] ---
    I'm so weak on my own
[22:28] ---
    Powerless and paralyzed
[22:33] ---
    But in the darkness
    deprived of moonlight
[22:39] ---
    You're there by my side
[22:45] ---
    Laughing about silly things
[22:48] ---
    Sharing reasons to feel pain
[22:50] ---
    A light resonates between us
[22:53] ---
    It's a time we'll never forget
[22:56] ---
    I pray that I get stronger
[22:58] ---
    To that finite starry sky
[23:01] ---
    We're together hand in hand
[23:04] ---
    One-third of ourselves
