*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 Kage*senpai *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] ---**
