[00:16] ---
    The Neighbors, the invaders from
    another dimension, and...

[00:18] ---
    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.

[00:31] ---
    They associated with Chika Amatori and
    formed a team in Border Tamakoma Branch.

[00:35] ---
    In preparation for the battle against
    B-Rank top teams,

[00:38] ---
    they attend a training camp
    in Shizuka City.

[00:41] ---
    There, they met Xeno, a boy who
    manipulates unknown Trion soldiers,

[00:46] ---
    and a mysterious, beautiful girl, Lilith.
[00:49] ---
    Chika having been taken hostage by Xeno,
[00:52] ---
    Yuma and Osamu decided to
    stay with them.

[00:56] ---
    Do you wanna take a break
    and call home for backup?
[01:01] ---
    Are you telling me to go back to Ergatis
    as an embarrassment?
[01:06] ---
    Absolutely not!
[01:09] ---
    Until another planet nation approaches,
    they can't get off of Meeden here and...
[01:13] ---
    since you even received the
    Technical Achievement Medal,
[01:16] ---
    proof of being a national hero,
    I'm sure you can handle this on your own!
[01:20] ---
    Plus,
    they told us not to harm them too much.
[01:25] ---
    Just enjoy the fleeting clear sky
    to the fullest for now.
[01:29] ---
    Our sweet little Goddess of Destruction.
[01:32] ---
    While warding off relentless attacks
    by Giev's Trion soldiers,

[01:36] ---
    they are building trusting relationships
    with Xeno and Lilith little by little.

[01:42] ---
    Meanwhile, Giev and Charon's plan is...
[01:45] ---
    about to be set into motion in a city
    outside of Mikado or Shizuka City.

[01:52] ---
    I wonder if there is thunder in Ergatis.
    Maybe, Lilith-chan is scared...
[01:57] ---
    If you don't want to, Xeno,
    you don't have to do it anymore.
[02:03] ---
    Because this is...
[02:05] ---
    Just do it to get it over with.
[02:32] ---
    Oh, boy...
[02:34] ---
    Things haven't gone very well yet,
    Giev-sama.
[02:37] ---
    Meeden's Trigger users are annoying.
[02:40] ---
    Why do they wanna help Xeno and Lilith?
[02:43] ---
    Maybe they have nothing else to do.
[02:46] ---
    But Giev-sama, if that's the case,
    why don't we make them busy?
[02:51] ---
    We took the trouble to plant stuff
    here and there before we got here.
[02:56] ---
    Don't you think it'd be fun to
    put on a big show?
[03:08] ---
    The One that Shall Be Saved
[03:13] ---
    Wow! It's so high!
[03:17] ---
    Oh, isn't that Border HQ?
[03:21] ---
    What's wrong, Shuji?
[03:22] ---
    We came all the way to this new
    tourist spot in a neighboring town.
[03:26] ---
    Why don't you try to look a little
    happier?
[03:29] ---
    Yoneya senpai, we're not here for fun.
    Do you understand?
[03:34] ---
    Don't be so fussy! High places are
    really exciting for some reason, right?
[03:38] ---
    Listen!
[03:39] ---
    You brought me here because you two senpai
    have to work on an assignment!
[03:44] ---
    History museum
[03:45] ---
    The history museum downstairs
    is where you need to go!
[03:47] ---
    You got me involved
    so you gotta do your job!
[03:50] ---
    Hey now, we came all the way
    so let's at least eat something here!
[03:57] ---
    Sister, it's good!
[03:59] ---
    It's smeared all over your mouth!
[04:01] ---
    Boy! Let me see!
[04:03] ---
    By the way, Narasaka's so unkind!
    I asked him but he didn't come!
[04:09] ---
    An assignment? Don't depend on others.
[04:12] ---
    There's no point in doing it
    if you don't do it yourself.
[04:14] ---
    No, Narasaka senpai is right. I also
    don't think it's good to ask kouhai...
[04:19] ---
    who're going to a different school
    for help.
[04:21] ---
    Hey now! I'll pay for your meal here
    so hang out with us for a little more.
[04:26] ---
    Oh please...
[04:27] ---
    Also, I don't feel like
    working on an assignment.
[04:31] ---
    I heard there are various kinds of them
    appearing these days.
[04:34] ---
    Have you heard anything, Shuji?
[04:37] ---
    About those new type Trion soldiers?
[04:39] ---
    Not just that.
[04:40] ---
    The fact is some Humanoid Neighbors
    came with them.
[04:44] ---
    Humanoid?! Is it true?!
[04:46] ---
    It is.
[04:47] ---
    They say they're hiding in some city
    outside of Mikado City now
[04:51] ---
    but I haven't heard where it is.
[04:54] ---
    Could it be
    another large-scale invasion...?!
[04:58] ---
    I don't know. But since Trion soldiers
    are being seen outside of Mikado City,
[05:03] ---
    the executives are very tense.
[05:09] ---
    It's kind of getting exciting!
[05:11] ---
    It's not exciting at all!
[05:17] ---
    Oh? Is it broken?
[05:25] ---
    It broke down! How annoying...
[05:42] ---
    We apologize for the inconvenience.
    We're looking into it right now.
[05:46] ---
    Please wait a few more minutes.
[05:48] ---
    Oh, the elevator is stopped?
[05:51] ---
    We're really sorry for the inconvenience.
[05:53] ---
    If you're really in a hurry,
    there is an emergency staircase so...
[06:02] ---
    - What should we do?
    - We're on the 50th floor.
[06:04] ---
    Then, let's wait until they fix it.
[06:06] ---
    We're going?
[06:07] ---
    If we wait, we'll be late to
    meet with Dad and Mom.
[06:12] ---
    Like I said,
    we should've gone down earlier.
[06:15] ---
    But the food was quite good, wasn't it?
[06:17] ---
    Well, yeah, but...
[06:18] ---
    Then, you have no right to complain!
[06:23] ---
    What's that?
[06:41] ---
    Whoa-whoa, is that for real?!
    Don't tell me it's...
[06:44] ---
    A Trion soldier!
[06:53] ---
    Back up, everybody!
[06:54] ---
    Trigger on!
[07:02] ---
    He did it!
[07:03] ---
    - Th-Thank y...
    - Shuji! Not yet!
[07:08] ---
    Is it recovering?!
[07:10] ---
    - Don't sit there! Get away!
    - O-Okay!
[07:12] ---
    - Trigger on!
    - Trigger on!
[07:16] ---
    Everybody, please get back!
    We're Border!
[07:19] ---
    They're Border agents!
[07:20] ---
    We'll take care of that Trion soldier!
[07:23] ---
    This one has just healed itself, huh?!
    What kind of cheat is that?!
[07:26] ---
    I don't know.
    But I'm sure it's a Neighbor.
[07:31] ---
    So I'll kill it just like the others!
[07:33] ---
    Kodera! We don't want the visitors here!
    Let them escape downstairs!
[07:37] ---
    Roger!
[07:39] ---
    Everyone! Please evacuate by the stairs!
    This floor is going to be...
[07:42] ---
    Help!
[07:44] ---
    What's wrong?!
[07:45] ---
    Th-The floor below is...
[07:54] ---
    Th-They're all over the place...
    the hallway and the walls...
[07:58] ---
    Miwa senpai! There is a legion of
    small-sized spiders coming up!
[08:23] ---
    We did it...
[08:25] ---
    Not yet!
[08:30] ---
    Close the emergency staircase!
[08:31] ---
    O-Okay!
[08:40] ---
    Are there less people now
    than before you went down?
[08:43] ---
    The rest of the people got caught.
[08:46] ---
    Some big ones like the one you just killed
    emerged and...
[08:50] ---
    Run! Now!
[08:52] ---
    Sister!
[08:55] ---
    Sister!!
[08:58] ---
    They took them away.
[09:01] ---
    Whoa-whoa, give me a break!
[09:06] ---
    Whaaat?!
[09:09] ---
    New types appeared in Tamaga Tower?!
[09:12] ---
    Yes. Miwa, Yoneya, and Kodera
    from Miwa Squad happened to be there
[09:16] ---
    and they're dealing with them but...
[09:18] ---
    The situation is,
    along with many ordinary citizens,
[09:22] ---
    they're isolated in the observation floor.
[09:25] ---
    Oh... Not again! It happened again!
[09:29] ---
    Why are these irregular things
    happening all at once?!
[09:33] ---
    Within just one day today, this is the
    fourth case of Trion soldier emerging...
[09:36] ---
    outside of Mikado City!
[09:39] ---
    If it keeps happening in succession like
    this, Border's existence'll be threatened
[09:42] ---
    since we're getting various privileges...
[09:45] ---
    under the condition that
    we lure the Gates to Mikado City and...
[09:49] ---
    fight the Neighbors single-handedly!
[09:52] ---
    We have to prevent damage
    to the citizens at any cost!
[09:56] ---
    Work together closely with
    the police and the fire department
[09:59] ---
    and don't hesitate to throw in any
    necessary human resource and equipment!
[10:02] ---
    But...
[10:03] ---
    we sent out almost all squads on duty
    for the last three incidents.
[10:08] ---
    We're trying to summon
    off-duty agents, too,
[10:10] ---
    but I must say things are
    quite tough now.
[10:22] ---
    And we saw one dream in this place...
[10:22] ---
    soshite boku tachi wa kono basho de
    hitotsu no yume wo mita...

[10:37] ---
    The reality you're seeing is

[11:57] ---
    Please back up!
[12:00] ---
    How awful that is...
[12:05] ---
    HQ Director Shinoda, Ren Tsukimi and
    Toru Narasaka arrived at the scene.

[12:09] ---
    Thank you. We'll talk to the police
    and the fire department.
[12:13] ---
    You two work together with Miwa inside
    and keep the damage to a minimum.
[12:17] ---
    Roger that.
[12:19] ---
    Miwa-kun, Yosuke-kun, Shohei-kun,
    can you hear me?
[12:23] ---
    - Yeah.
    - I hear you, Ren-san.
[12:25] ---
    I'm glad that you're okay.
    Narasaka-kun is here with me.
[12:28] ---
    You're late, Narasaka.
[12:29] ---
    But I came as fast as I could.
[12:32] ---
    I'll tell you how it looks from outside.
[12:34] ---
    For both the west tower you're in now
    and the adjoining east tower,
[12:37] ---
    the enemy Trion soldiers are guarding
    the surface and we can't get near.
[12:41] ---
    How's the situation inside?
[12:43] ---
    In this observation room, we have
    63 ordinary citizens left behind.
[12:48] ---
    But as far as I know,
[12:50] ---
    close to 40 people have been
    taken away by the Trion soldiers.
[12:53] ---
    Taken away?
[12:54] ---
    Yeah.
[12:55] ---
    According to witnesses, it doesn't seem
    like they got killed or something but...
[13:00] ---
    we don't know where they took them.
[13:02] ---
    Hold on.
[13:08] ---
    I pinged the cellphones in the building.
    In the observation room of the east tower,
[13:12] ---
    there are quite a few people
    left behind, as well.
[13:15] ---
    I'm looking at the east tower
    but inside the windows are...
[13:18] ---
    all covered up by strings
    probably that the Trion soldiers spun.
[13:21] ---
    I can't see inside from out here.
[13:24] ---
    The exterior walls are occupied by
    many Trion soldiers, too.
[13:28] ---
    Can you shoot the Trion soldiers on the
    exterior walls from your location now?

[13:32] ---
    Let me try.
[13:37] ---
    They healed themselves?!
[13:38] ---
    I thought so.
[13:39] ---
    The one we encountered
    recovered, too, after getting sliced open.
[13:43] ---
    We somehow took it down at last though.
[13:45] ---
    Wait a minute!
[13:47] ---
    We're at too much of a disadvantage
    against Trion soldiers that can heal!
[13:50] ---
    We can't even bail out here!
[13:53] ---
    But this is strange.
[13:55] ---
    Of course, it's strange!
[13:57] ---
    No, I mean, what's their energy source?
[14:00] ---
    Tons of Trion soldiers
    covering the exterior walls
[14:03] ---
    and the countless
    small Trion soldiers inside.
[14:06] ---
    And they recover themselves.
[14:08] ---
    I bet they need tremendous Trion
    but where are they getting it from?
[14:13] ---
    I assume they're taking it from
    the people who became their hostages.

[14:18] ---
    I was listening to your conversation.
[14:20] ---
    The new type Trion soldiers who emerged
    lately are different from the past ones.

[14:25] ---
    They have the ability of sucking up Trion
    directly and use it as far as we can tell.

[14:30] ---
    The people who are trapped
    in the east tower are...

[14:33] ---
    being used as an energy source for
    those Trion soldiers.

[14:39] ---
    Please save my sister!
[14:43] ---
    She got caught by them!
[14:45] ---
    Please! Save my sister...
[14:50] ---
    Oh! Are you gonna do it?!
[14:52] ---
    Yosuke and I will head for the
    observation room in the east tower.
[14:56] ---
    Lead the way.
[14:57] ---
    Roger.
[14:58] ---
    Kodera. You guard here with your life.
[15:01] ---
    I got it!
[15:02] ---
    The sky walkway to the east tower is
    on the 30th floor.
[15:05] ---
    The fastest way to get there is
    to go down the elevator shaft.
[15:09] ---
    Roger.
[15:10] ---
    Yosuke, let's go.
[15:11] ---
    Okay!
[15:15] ---
    Viper!
[15:36] ---
    Both of you, listen.
    Pay no attention to the ones that recover.
[15:40] ---
    According to Kinuta-san,
    the mechanism of how they recover is,

[15:43] ---
    using those string-like things
    all over the walls as cables,

[15:47] ---
    to be supplied Trion.
[15:49] ---
    If you can rescue the hostages
    who are their energy source,

[15:53] ---
    they'll probably run out of Trion
    and become inactive.

[15:57] ---
    The top floor of the east tower is
    the place to go.

[15:59] ---
    That's where their weak spot is!
[16:02] ---
    I have no choice. I'll take care of them.
[16:05] ---
    You wait for a chance and go.
[16:07] ---
    I always wanted to try that once.
[16:09] ---
    The "leave here to me
    and you go ahead" thing.
[16:21] ---
    Hi, Kido-san.
[16:22] ---
    What do you want?
[16:23] ---
    I thought Shuji and the others are
    having a tough time by now.

[16:28] ---
    You foresaw this?
[16:29] ---
    I have a suggestion relating to that.
[16:32] ---
    I mean, I should say
    I need to ask you a favor.

[16:35] ---
    I'm listening.
[17:17] ---
    I bet he's the boss.
[17:39] ---
    This jerk, as long as one of its legs is
    touching the nest,
[17:42] ---
    it'll suck Trion endlessly
    and keep recovering itself...
[17:46] ---
    He's struggling...
    It recovers itself way too fast.
[17:50] ---
    Even if he cuts one of its legs,
    it recovers before he cuts another one.
[17:56] ---
    Yo! Looks like you're in trouble,
    Narasaka.
[17:59] ---
    Toma-san! Why are you...
[18:02] ---
    I brought something from Commander Kido.
[18:04] ---
    This thing...
[18:06] ---
    and me.
[18:12] ---
    Attack all of its legs at once
    with Viper...

[18:15] ---
    No, that won't be powerful enough.
    Damn!

[18:18] ---
    - Miwa-kun.
    - What?!
[18:20] ---
    When I give you a cue,
    jump to your left, 4 meters up,
[18:22] ---
    where I put a visual projection mark.
[18:27] ---
    I'll count down from three.
[18:29] ---
    Roger.
[18:31] ---
    Don't get scared and miss, Narasaka.
[18:33] ---
    Be careful yourself.
[18:34] ---
    Three...
[18:37] ---
    Two...
[18:38] ---
    One...
[18:39] ---
    Reach there!
[18:40] ---
    Shoot!
[18:54] ---
    Trigger off!
[18:59] ---
    Fujin, activate!
[19:40] ---
    Oh man! Things have worked out somehow.
[19:43] ---
    Thank you!
[19:50] ---
    Aren't you gonna answer them?
[19:53] ---
    I just did what I had to do
    as a Border agent.
[19:57] ---
    He's shy as always.
[19:59] ---
    Well, that's so him, though.
[20:02] ---
    Okay. Shall we go, too?
[20:09] ---
    We brought Tamaga Tower under control...
[20:12] ---
    But there's been so much damage
    in other places!
[20:15] ---
    We prevented casualties
    among ordinary citizens somehow
[20:19] ---
    but some agents got injured.
[20:21] ---
    On top of that,
    the amount of Trion doesn't add up.
[20:23] ---
    What do you mean?
[20:25] ---
    I haven't calculated it
    precisely yet but...
[20:28] ---
    the amount of Trion that was robbed from
    ordinary citizens and agents...
[20:31] ---
    surpasses the amount that has been
    used in battles by far!
[20:35] ---
    We let them do as they like this time...
[20:41] ---
    We did it, Giev-sama.
[20:44] ---
    We got so much Trion!
[20:47] ---
    It was easier than we thought.
[20:50] ---
    With this much Trion,
    maybe we can use it.
[20:56] ---
    Yeah...
[20:59] ---
    After this, we'll review Black Trigger!
[21:02] ---
    WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
[21:03] ---
    Review Black Trigger
[21:04] ---
    Oh! We haven't seen it for a long time!
    The Black Trigger, Fujin!
[21:06] ---
    Black Trigger
    Fujin

[21:08] ---
    Uh-huh. Black Trigger is...
[21:11] ---
    a Trigger made by
    a high Trion ability holder...
[21:13] ---
    by pouring in his life energy
    and all of his Trion.
[21:16] ---
    It's way more powerful than
    normal Triggers.
[21:17] ---
    Very powerful!
[21:19] ---
    Mm-hm.
[21:20] ---
    For example, Fujin in this episode,
[21:22] ---
    was left behind by Mogami-san
    who was the master teacher to Jin-san.
[21:22] ---
    Mogami-san was...
    One of the founding members of Border
    A friend of Yuma's father

[21:26] ---
    My Black Trigger is a keepsake
    from my father, too.
[21:29] ---
    Because that's how it was created,
[21:31] ---
    it reflects the personality of
    those who made it
[21:34] ---
    and it sometimes chooses its user,
    it seems.
[21:36] ---
    In fact, people like Tachikawa-san have
    quite a bit of sword skill but...
[21:40] ---
    weren't chosen by Fujin, I heard.
[21:42] ---
    Mogami-san was picky?
[21:44] ---
    Ummm, I don't know.
[21:46] ---
    Even so, they say many people
    can use it,
[21:49] ---
    the fact is it has been kept
    at Border HQ
[21:53] ---
    and when it's needed,
    any compatible user can use it, I heard.
[21:57] ---
    Which means when a case like the one
    in this episode occurs. That means...
[22:01] ---
    if it's compatible with Osamu,
    you might use it...
[22:06] ---
    A Black Trigger user, an S-Rank agent,
    Osamu Mikumo!
[22:06] ---
    A Black Trigger user
    An S-Rank agent
    Osamu Mikumo

[22:11] ---
    It's kind of awesome!
[22:13] ---
    Well but it's hardly possible.
[22:14] ---
    When Osamu uses it, only one of
    those seaweed-like things would grow...
[22:18] ---
    It's not seaweed.
[22:19] ---
    And that isn't equipped
    with a bail out system.
[22:19] ---
    Demerits
    No "bail out"

[22:22] ---
    Above all, if you use a Black Trigger,
    you can't fight in Rank Wars.
[22:23] ---
    Not allowed to fight in Rank Wars
[22:26] ---
    Oh, you're right...
[22:28] ---
    I guess I'll just keep working hard.
[22:30] ---
    Mm-hm. That's my Osamu!
[22:34] ---
    See you!
[22:36] ---
    A gigantic Trion soldier
    that could bring...

[22:38] ---
    the entirety of Shizuka City
    into a crisis, attacks!

[22:40] ---
    In an extremely desperate situation, what
    will happen to Yuma, Osamu, and Chika?

[22:45] ---
    Next time on WORLD TRIGGER:
    Giev's Thrust

[22:47] ---
    Trigger on!
