[00:12] ---
This match is down to two teams left,
Tamakoma-2 and Azuma Squad.
[00:17] ---
The rest is on you guys.
[00:19] ---
Bail out.
[00:22] ---
As expected,
Captain Mikumo bailed out.
[00:26] ---
Meteor!
[00:42] ---
What was that?! Half the mall's gone
from that one blast!
[00:47] ---
How many points until
second is all ours?
[00:52] ---
Three more.
[01:10] ---
The more I hope not to lose
what's most precious to me
[01:14] ---
They slip through my fingers
by way of cruel fate
[01:19] ---
More means of reclaiming
our stolen time and hearts
[01:23] ---
I know that's what
we're painfully lacking
[01:27] ---
Dark and lonely, inside a mirror
The siren falls on deaf ears
[01:32] ---
I stood there, watching you depart
[01:36] ---
Should be weaker than glass
A bullet should pierce through
[01:41] ---
And I pulled the trigger
[01:44] ---
There's something I need to protect
[01:48] ---
The hopes of thousands
are on my shoulders
[01:53] ---
I will become the wind
[01:58] ---
And promise to reach our goal
[02:02] ---
The yearning that connects
our past and present
[02:09] ---
Illuminates the path to our future
[02:15] ---
Embracing our overlapping histories,
the light radiates brightly
[02:31] ---
Decision
[02:43] ---
The B-Rank Wars Round 7
is nearing its end.
[02:46] ---
Five from two squads are left.
[02:49] ---
Let's see their positions.
[02:51] ---
Tamakoma-2 is searching for
the outnumbered, hidden Azuma Squad.
[03:00] ---
Agent Hyuse is reducing possible
escape routes for Azuma Squad.
[03:05] ---
Escudo's range is normally
about 25 meters.
[03:09] ---
But I guess his Trion level
can extend it farther.
[03:22] ---
Here's what Tamakoma's plan looks like.
[03:25] ---
Amatori scopes out
the open area in the South.
[03:33] ---
And Hyuse approaches
from the other end.
[03:36] ---
If Azuma Squad reacts to him,
Kuga breaks in.
[03:41] ---
That is how I see it.
[03:43] ---
Azuma Squad seems to have read
Tamakoma's game.
[03:47] ---
How will they move?
[03:49] ---
They're attempting to run us out slowly.
[03:53] ---
We're losing options as time passes.
[03:57] ---
Let me hear your thoughts.
[04:02] ---
Full retreat.
[04:04] ---
We can hardly win like this.
[04:07] ---
We might as well cut our losses.
[04:10] ---
Okudera says retreat.
What about you, Koarai?
[04:15] ---
Running from a fight isn't my style.
[04:19] ---
I want to score
even if I must sacrifice myself.
[04:23] ---
That's how I really feel, but...
[04:27] ---
I bet Kuga is sneaking around here.
[04:30] ---
Risking my life would mean nothing.
[04:34] ---
Let's retreat.
[04:37] ---
Okay.
[04:39] ---
But with this damaged leg,
I'm not sure I can run enough.
[04:43] ---
I'd be spotted
if I used Grasshopper.
[04:46] ---
And they're blocking every route.
[04:48] ---
We can mislead them
with the remaining beacons.
[04:52] ---
I'll direct you to the exit.
[04:55] ---
Thanks, Mako-san!
[04:57] ---
First, we escape this mall.
[05:00] ---
Hitomi, give me control
over some beacons.
[05:04] ---
Preferably the ones outside.
[05:06] ---
Roger that.
[05:12] ---
The enemy markers are...
[05:15] ---
Oh, some radar reactions indicate
Azuma Squad is heading south.
[05:20] ---
Is that to apply pressure on Amatori,
guessing her location?
[05:26] ---
I think Tamakoma sees it
as a bluff for sure.
[05:31] ---
It's probably a diversion
using the beacons.
[05:34] ---
Should I destroy them
with Chika's Meteor?
[05:38] ---
Wait, they might want to make her attack
to find her position.
[05:43] ---
It's deception.
[05:46] ---
Must be a feint to make us
focus on defense. Leave it.
[05:50] ---
Well, you'd normally
be right about that.
[05:55] ---
But Azuma-san is doing this.
[05:57] ---
Maybe he wants us to think it's a bluff?
[06:01] ---
Chika's covering the outside.
[06:03] ---
I've sealed most of the exits.
[06:06] ---
If they try to escape,
we'll notice immediately.
[06:10] ---
It's not very likely
they've left the mall.
[06:14] ---
This obvious trick to confuse us
shows how seriously they're cornered.
[06:21] ---
Honestly, I think so too.
[06:23] ---
Chika Amatori
[06:24] ---
But what if...
there's a chance that's not it...
[06:30] ---
Two signatures vanished?
[06:32] ---
Whoa, that's some more trickery
to deal with.
[06:35] ---
Azuma-san stirs things up that way.
[06:38] ---
Now it's Tamakoma's turn to take action.
[06:43] ---
The easiest solution would be having
Agent Amatori start running.
[06:49] ---
But they can't check the south side
of the mall while she's moving.
[06:54] ---
If they want to keep up their offense,
she should stay put.
[06:59] ---
Then what options
are available to them?
[07:03] ---
Stick to the ongoing strategy
assuming the trick is a bluff,
[07:07] ---
or shift to defending Amatori,
giving up on offense just in case.
[07:13] ---
Or some third option?
[07:16] ---
Considering Mikumo-kun's personality,
[07:18] ---
giving up on
protecting Amatori-chan is...
[07:22] ---
Not the one he'd pick.
[07:25] ---
Halt the offensive.
Go to cover Chika.
[07:30] ---
Hm.
[07:31] ---
What? Don't be silly.
[07:34] ---
You want to let them go?
[07:38] ---
If we lose Chika now,
Azuma Squad would get away in the end.
[07:44] ---
If she's alive, her explosion can
expose them if they run.
[07:48] ---
So securing her is our top priority.
[07:53] ---
That's sloppy.
[07:55] ---
Remember the last battle.
[07:58] ---
Azuma can shoot down cannonballs.
[08:01] ---
Chika wasn't countered earlier
only because he was inside the mall.
[08:07] ---
If Azuma can move freely,
he'll shoot down her Meteor.
[08:13] ---
Taking advantage of your nature,
[08:15] ---
he's leading you
to the unlikeliest option.
[08:19] ---
As I told you, I refuse to follow
illogical orders.
[08:27] ---
Osamu-kun.
[08:29] ---
I know that Hyuse
is most likely correct.
[08:33] ---
But...
[08:35] ---
I can't ignore the what-if scenario.
[08:39] ---
Jin-san told me not to waver.
[08:42] ---
In this case, which decision
is "unwavering"?
[08:47] ---
Okay then...
[08:49] ---
I'll guard Chika.
[08:53] ---
Chika and Hyuse
can move as planned.
[08:57] ---
- That leaves Hyuse alone...
- Alright.
[09:02] ---
This discussion is over.
[09:05] ---
I'll continue searching.
[09:12] ---
Tamakoma makes a move.
[09:14] ---
Kuga goes to cover Amatori,
while Hyuse stays inside.
[09:20] ---
Respond to both...
They picked the third option.
[09:24] ---
But is it okay
to split up their fighters?
[09:28] ---
The situation in the mall
becomes a two-on-one.
[09:32] ---
Only one of them took the bait,
meaning...
[09:36] ---
We must fight
before our beacons' Trion runs out.
[09:45] ---
Sorry, Osamu.
[09:47] ---
But give Hyuse a chance.
[09:49] ---
A chance?
[09:51] ---
He let Kagesenpai get away.
[09:54] ---
It's just like with Nasu.
We misread our enemy's damage.
[10:00] ---
And you got taken down by Yuzuru.
[10:02] ---
I failed to estimate
that Ema might sacrifice himself.
[10:07] ---
It wasn't your fault.
[10:09] ---
Hyuse blames himself
for losing both those points.
[10:15] ---
So he wants to
get the points back himself.
[10:20] ---
He's a very responsible person.
[10:37] ---
Sealing exits as he descends,
Hyuse is steadily cornering Azuma Squad.
[10:43] ---
To get out of the mall,
[10:46] ---
Agent Koarai has to destroy a wall.
[10:49] ---
Hyuse-kun will find him before that.
[10:52] ---
Is Koarai countering him?
[10:54] ---
I bet Hyuse-kun's almost there.
[10:57] ---
Got it.
[11:06] ---
Agent Hyuse has
got a lock on Agent Koarai.
[11:11] ---
His leg's been damaged.
[11:15] ---
Does it end here?
[11:18] ---
Time to end this.
[11:20] ---
Azuma-san!
[11:43] ---
I knew you'd do that!
[11:52] ---
Only a Bagworm?
[12:08] ---
Trion body limit exceeded.
Bail out.
[12:11] ---
At least he lost a leg.
[12:15] ---
Agent Hyuse bails out.
[12:18] ---
Azuma Squad scored
in a showdown.
[12:22] ---
Yes!
[12:27] ---
And Koarai escapes from the mall.
[12:30] ---
What's the plan now?
Wait until time's up?
[12:33] ---
Or bail out right now?
[12:36] ---
Let me see.
[12:37] ---
It depends on how they act.
[12:40] ---
Make Chika bomb them.
[12:42] ---
Both of them have damaged legs.
[12:46] ---
They can't shoot Chika
while running.
[12:49] ---
Just one attack will make Azuma
decide to withdraw.
[12:53] ---
Alright.
[12:54] ---
Meteor!
[13:03] ---
This is the time to retreat.
[13:06] ---
Roger that!
[13:09] ---
Oh, two Azuma agents
voluntarily bailed out.
[13:13] ---
I think that was a smart choice
since their legs suffered damage.
[13:19] ---
Azuma Squad's duo ran
and left the field.
[13:22] ---
Tamakoma-2, the only squad left,
got two points for surviving.
[13:27] ---
Point Survival Total
[13:27] ---
Tamakoma-2
Azuma Squad
Kageura Squad
Suzunari-1
[13:28] ---
Now the match is over.
[13:30] ---
The final score is 6-2-2-1.
[13:33] ---
Tamakoma-2 is the winner.
[13:37] ---
Six points is huge.
[13:38] ---
He was beaten by Captain Azuma,
[13:41] ---
but Tamakoma's rookie
performed outstandingly.
[13:45] ---
I'd like you two to review this round.
[13:49] ---
Before that, let's talk about
Azuma-san's substitution magic.
[13:54] ---
What kind of trick was that?
[13:56] ---
This is just my guess,
[13:59] ---
but it was probably like this.
[14:05] ---
He hanged his Bagworm
on a Lightning put on the floor above.
[14:09] ---
Hiding among the Dummy Beacons,
he waited for Koarai
[14:13] ---
to lure Hyuse out.
[14:15] ---
The moment Hyuse attacked,
he activated an Ibis.
[14:19] ---
Then the Lightning vanished,
and the Bagworm dropped.
[14:23] ---
He shot at Hyuse
who reacted to the Bagworm.
[14:27] ---
Gosh! How cruel.
[14:28] ---
I'll check the logs.
[14:30] ---
Agents with wide peripheral vision
may tend to fall for that trap.
[14:36] ---
Meanwhile, Agent Hyuse kept half
of his bullets in reserve just in case.
[14:42] ---
He rendered Captain Azuma immobile
before dying
[14:46] ---
to force Azuma Squad to retreat,
which was a good call.
[14:52] ---
Now, let us hear your thoughts
about the entire match.
[14:57] ---
I liked Suzunari's
lights-out strategy at the start.
[15:03] ---
It would've been more effective
against anyone but Kage.
[15:09] ---
But Suzunari only earned a single point.
[15:12] ---
Taichi-kun even died
without shooting at all.
[15:19] ---
My plan failed.
This totally sucks.
[15:22] ---
We caught Kageura-kun off guard.
That wasn't so bad.
[15:26] ---
Don't worry.
[15:27] ---
You really think so?
[15:29] ---
Suzunari-1 has improved
their basic battle tactics.
[15:33] ---
If the others get wary of them
as a team who adopts unexpected plans,
[15:38] ---
that'd be their advantage going forward.
[15:42] ---
Arashiyama-san!
[15:44] ---
Halfway through the match
with Tamakoma,
[15:47] ---
it was Escudo's time to shine.
[15:50] ---
I was amazed by
not only his Trion amount
[15:54] ---
but also his idea to pop one out
of someone's body.
[15:58] ---
The Tamakoma Branch has two Escudo
users, Agent Jin and Karasuma.
[16:03] ---
They might've given him inspiration.
[16:07] ---
I was taught by Torimaru
but not by Jin.
[16:11] ---
Ko-kun was as fearsome as ever.
[16:14] ---
Tamakoma and Suzunari
were evenly matched.
[16:19] ---
But Kuga-kun played a good role.
[16:21] ---
He sure did.
[16:23] ---
Agent Hyuse was more impressive
in this round,
[16:27] ---
but the whole time, Agent Kuga's
subtle support was great.
[16:33] ---
His moves allowed Hyuse's skills
to shine even more?
[16:37] ---
Yes, exactly.
[16:48] ---
In contrast, Kage's performance
was kind of lacking.
[16:53] ---
He's usually relaxed in fights, but
[16:55] ---
he was cautious
or even vigorless today.
[16:59] ---
He fled desperately at the end,
which was not like him.
[17:03] ---
Did he?
[17:04] ---
Maybe he put too much pressure
on himself.
[17:08] ---
To make you join the Away Squad.
[17:11] ---
What?
[17:13] ---
For me?
[17:16] ---
Hey.
[17:19] ---
This isn't over yet.
[17:22] ---
You finally have a goal now, right?
[17:29] ---
Yeah.
[17:32] ---
Next was the hyper Meteor
by Amatori-chan.
[17:37] ---
It resulted in Azuma Squad's withdrawal.
[17:41] ---
Koala and Okudera decided it, right?
[17:44] ---
That'd fit with Azuma-san's
training principles.
[17:47] ---
Aside from Okkun, that was
unexpected from Koala.
[17:51] ---
He's the type to hope for a final shot.
[17:55] ---
He's grown a bit.
[17:57] ---
Grown, huh?
[18:00] ---
But all I could actually do
was escape.
[18:04] ---
No. I confirmed today that you two
can properly judge the state of battle.
[18:10] ---
I've had you focus on combo moves
as Attackers,
[18:14] ---
but now, let's open up
the use of Sub-Triggers.
[18:19] ---
Really?
[18:20] ---
I want to use Hound!
[18:22] ---
Take your Trion volume
into account, okay?
[18:26] ---
Anyway, Tamakoma is fearsome.
That's the takeaway here.
[18:31] ---
It's just like Tamakoma
to steadily get points by
[18:35] ---
taking advantage of how
no one had data on Hyuse.
[18:39] ---
I see.
[18:41] ---
Hyuse.
[18:43] ---
As promised, tell me why you
didn't use Viper in this match.
[18:51] ---
My plan was to gain a massive lead
over Kageura Squad.
[18:56] ---
But Kageura's defeat gave
Suzunari a point.
[19:01] ---
Given the night setting and Azuma's
common tactic of running out of time,
[19:08] ---
it became tough to earn enough points.
[19:11] ---
If we couldn't get a big lead
in this game,
[19:15] ---
the next one would be more crucial.
[19:18] ---
So we shouldn't play every card
in this round.
[19:23] ---
That's all.
[19:25] ---
He thought of the next match
during that battle?
[19:30] ---
I swear to take this team
to the expedition.
[19:34] ---
He's a very responsible person.
[19:37] ---
That's..
[19:40] ---
That's really how he is.
[19:47] ---
And the overall standings.
[19:49] ---
The night session remains,
so these aren't final though.
[19:54] ---
Kageura Squad and Tamakoma-2
are now tied.
[19:57] ---
4. Ikoma Squad, 5. Azuma Squad,
6. Oji Squad
[19:58] ---
The team ranked higher when the season
started gets priority in this case.
[20:01] ---
1. Ninomiya Squad
2. Kageura Squad
3. Tamakoma-2
[20:03] ---
Which puts Kageura Squad in second
and Tamakoma in third.
[20:08] ---
The fight for the top two places
to join the Away Squad
[20:12] ---
will continue to the end.
[20:15] ---
The Round 7 daytime session ends now.
[20:19] ---
Thank you for joining me,
Arashiyama-san, Inukai senpai.
[20:23] ---
Thank you too.
[20:24] ---
Good job, Yuitsuka-chan.
[20:27] ---
Kageura Squad and Tamakoma
ended up with a tied score.
[20:32] ---
Your squad now has a big role,
right, Ninomiya-san?
[20:37] ---
For Tamakoma's chances
of joining the expedition.
[20:40] ---
You're likely to
match with them next, right?
[20:44] ---
I'm not sure.
[20:46] ---
It is said that we
tend to go against the team
[20:50] ---
with which we had few matches
in the past.
[20:53] ---
But we have the other squads too.
[20:57] ---
No matter who comes,
we'll bring them down as always.
[21:02] ---
Huh? No thoughts from this match?
[21:05] ---
You've insulted them before.
[21:09] ---
How about you?
[21:12] ---
Has your opinion
about Tamakoma changed?
[21:16] ---
Do you think Tamakoma-2
could defeat your squad?
[21:20] ---
As if. Not a chance.
[21:25] ---
Well...
[21:27] ---
Fighting with the current Tamakoma-2
could be interesting.
[21:33] ---
Indeed.
[21:35] ---
That's how it is.
[21:40] ---
