[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.

[00:36] ---
    Now they participate in B-Rank Wars to be
    selected for the away squads.

[00:41] ---
    Even though they faced tough enemies,
    they continued their winning streak...

[00:45] ---
    with the successes of their tactics
    centering around Yuma.

[00:49] ---
    And the Rank War against
    the B-Rank top teams -

[00:52] ---
    Ninomiya Squad, Kageura Squad, and
    Azuma Squad -

[00:55] ---
    in which the winner can challenge A-Rank, has begun.
[00:58] ---
    I'll meet up with Koarai at point 7.
[01:00] ---
    Give me information about the targets.
[01:02] ---
    The closest is Kuga from Tamakoma.
[01:05] ---
    And then, Inukai from Ninomiya Squad.
[01:07] ---
    The other one is still unknown but
    he's trying to meet up with Kuga so...
[01:10] ---
    I bet it's Mikumo from Tamakoma.
[01:12] ---
    That means our target is Mikumo!
[01:15] ---
    I don't know
    how Azuma Squad is moving.

[01:17] ---
    But I bet they're watching
    how we move.

[01:20] ---
    Should I use a Bagworm like them?
[01:28] ---
    Meteor?!
[01:32] ---
    Hey, Zoe! You didn't get a single hit!
[01:35] ---
    Well, well, this is the best I can do
    relying on only radar, Hikari-chan.
[01:39] ---
    There it is. Zoe's sloppy Meteor.
    So annoying.
[01:43] ---
    Asteroid.
[01:48] ---
    The closest one was Nino-san!
[01:50] ---
    Oh no! Oh no!
[01:52] ---
    Yuzuru, help me!
[01:57] ---
    I knew the Egret wasn't powerful enough.
[02:00] ---
    Kitazoe and Ema are close.
    I'll go get them.
[02:03] ---
    Tsuji and Inukai, you two go get Tamakoma.
[02:05] ---
    Don't chase Azuma Squad too far.
[02:07] ---
    For Kageura and Kuga,
    you two must fight together.

[02:10] ---
    Tsuji here, roger.
[02:11] ---
    Inukai here, roger.
[02:15] ---
    Target confirmed.
[02:16] ---
    So I got Four-Eyes! Lucky me!
[02:19] ---
    Target confirmed!
[02:20] ---
    Yuma-kun, Osamu-kun is in a battle!
    Hurry up and get over to him!

[02:24] ---
    Roger, Shiori-cha...
[02:28] ---
    Stalled me, huh?
[02:29] ---
    That's right and I'm sorry but
    I'm not your opponent.
[02:44] ---
    Hey, shrimp. Let's play.
[02:48] ---
    I'm busy right now.
[02:50] ---
    Don't say that. Let's have fun!
[02:55] ---
    Soon after the match started,
[02:56] ---
    Yuma clashes with Masato Kageura,
    the captain of Kageura Squad.

[03:00] ---
    A high-level battle between the two
    great attackers is about to begin.

[03:06] ---
    Meanwhile, Osamu tried to
    meet up with Yuma,

[03:10] ---
    he got embroiled in a one-on-one duel
    with Inukai, Ninomiya Squad's gunner.

[03:14] ---
    During the tough fight,
    Okudera and Koarai from Azuma Squad,

[03:19] ---
    and Tsuji from Ninomiya Squad
    joined them.

[03:21] ---
    It became an all-out melee
    amongst those attackers.

[03:25] ---
    They're not coming after me.
    Are they too busy to do so?

[03:30] ---
    Now's my chance...
[03:31] ---
    Then, just as Osamu was going to
    launch an attack...

[03:44] ---
    A shot from Haruaki Azuma, the first
    sniper who once led the A-Rank No.1 squad,

[03:51] ---
    ripped through Osamu's Trion body
    mercilessly.

[03:59] ---
    A Battle Royal
[04:05] ---
    Combat body limit exceeded.
    Bail out.

[04:12] ---
    Tamakoma-2's Captain Mikumo
    has bailed out!
[04:16] ---
    Azuma Squad is the first to
    take the lead in this melee!
[04:24] ---
    Captain Azuma sniped through the wall!
[04:27] ---
    It was a complex operation using...
[04:29] ---
    the observation data of all three squad
    members and detailed terrain data!
[04:30] ---
    006 Tamakoma-2
    Captain, Shooter: Osamu Mikumo

[04:32] ---
    Only a team that has the right to
    choose the stage could've pulled it off!
[04:41] ---
    It's rare for Azuma-san.
[04:43] ---
    He usually doesn't shoot through walls
    because it's hard to score a hit.
[04:46] ---
    Does that mean he was that concerned
    about Mikumo?

[04:52] ---
    Okay! We got our first point!
[04:53] ---
    Oh no... We let them get Mikumo-kun.
[04:56] ---
    Usami senpai, I'm sorry...
[04:59] ---
    Osamu-kun, it's not over yet.
[05:04] ---
    Give Chika-chan and Yuma-kun instructions.
[05:08] ---
    A supplementary rule for Rank Wars:
[05:10] ---
    Agents who've bailed out...
[05:12] ---
    can pass their squadmates information
    through their operators.

[05:16] ---
    Osamu! I got stuck with Kageura senpai
    and couldn't make it in time. Sorry!

[05:24] ---
    No, it was totally my error in judgement!
[05:27] ---
    I should've hid myself with a Bagworm
    instead of trying to fight them on my own!

[05:32] ---
    Even though all those people
    helped me out...!

[05:39] ---
    I'll just ask some professionals
    who I can talk to.
[05:43] ---
    If you wanna learn from someone,
    learn from experts in shooting battles.
[05:47] ---
    It'll be a little quick but Mitsuru and
    I'll give you some general knowledge.
[05:51] ---
    Keep up with us.
[05:52] ---
    They're unguarded in the first place so...
[05:54] ---
    I think it's nice to target them
    aggressively, too.
[05:57] ---
    I don't think he has reached the stage
    to learn something yet.
[06:01] ---
    You wanna know how to use
    composite bullets?
[06:04] ---
    They're very powerful but if an amateur
    uses them, they'll leave him wide open.
[06:07] ---
    I think I showed off to you
    what an A-Ranker is capable of.
[06:23] ---
    Mikumo-kun,
    he got taken down in a painful way.
[06:27] ---
    I hope he's not devastated.
[06:29] ---
    If that alone is enough to devastate him,
    he must've been too arrogant.
[06:32] ---
    Because it takes more than a week or two
    for your efforts to bear fruit.
[06:40] ---
    Oh no, it's too bad. Four-Eyes left
    himself wide-open as I thought.
[06:45] ---
    After all, with just those brief lessons,
    he couldn't reach the level I'm at!
[06:50] ---
    Oh yeah, Mr. Resident Burden?
    Why don't you give me lessons, too?
[06:56] ---
    I-I-I'm afraid I have to refuse that!
[07:00] ---
    He told us not to chase
    Azuma Squad too far.

[07:04] ---
    We no longer have any reason to
    fight the indoor battle.

[07:07] ---
    But there's bad footing outside.
    Won't we get sniped?

[07:12] ---
    It's the same here or outside.
[07:14] ---
    What Azuma-san is wearing is
    snow-camo.

[07:17] ---
    But we know where he is right now.
    We'd better move fast if we do this.

[07:23] ---
    There's nothing to gain by staying here.
    Let's get out so we have more options.

[07:28] ---
    Roger that. We've also got to
    look out for Tamakoma's cannon.

[07:35] ---
    Mikumo got taken down but luckily,
    four of their enemies are in one place.

[07:40] ---
    They can turn the tables by hitting them
    with the cannon. Why don't they do so?

[07:44] ---
    Is there any other situation in which
    their cannon could be more useful?

[07:49] ---
    Or...
[07:50] ---
    is there another reason that
    Tamakoma's sniper isn't taking the shot?

[07:58] ---
    The enemies' positions... This is our
    chance to score points with the cannon!

[08:04] ---
    But Chika can't...
[08:16] ---
    Don't worry about the cannon girl
    too much.

[08:18] ---
    I heard she can't shoot people.
[08:21] ---
    Look out!
[08:43] ---
    Agent Amatori!
    Did she try to hit all four of them?!
[08:47] ---
    But all of them have dodged it!
[08:50] ---
    Chika...
    She took the shot on her own?!

[08:57] ---
    I thought she couldn't shoot people.
[09:00] ---
    I bet she took a random shot
    looking at the radar.

[09:03] ---
    Let's go get her. She's unguarded.
[09:07] ---
    Chika, run!
[09:08] ---
    Bail out!
[09:10] ---
    Roger!
[09:11] ---
    Bail out!
[09:13] ---
    Bail out
    Fail

[09:16] ---
    Oh! Agent Amatori tried to
    bail out voluntarily?!
[09:20] ---
    But Captain Azuma is within 60 meters!
[09:24] ---
    So she can't bail out!
[09:27] ---
    In Rank Wars, when there is
    an enemy within 60 meters,

[09:32] ---
    voluntary bail out is disabled.
[09:36] ---
    I thought they made her retreat farther,
[09:39] ---
    but she was surprisingly close,
    Tamakoma's little girl.

[09:42] ---
    Okudera, Koarai, she's on the move.
[09:45] ---
    - Roger.
    - Roger.
[09:46] ---
    Run west, Chika! Kuga will cover you!
[09:49] ---
    Roger!
[09:57] ---
    I'm sorry, Kageura senpai.
    I have urgent business.
[10:00] ---
    What?!
[10:09] ---
    That's a tight shield! She isn't known as
    the Trion monster for nothing.
[10:15] ---
    Nice, Tsuji-chan!
[10:20] ---
    He let her step on the Grasshopper...
[10:23] ---
    That's interesting!
[10:25] ---
    But it's only delaying the inevitable.
[10:33] ---
    Couldn't block it
    even with the focused shield?!

[10:36] ---
    It's Ibis!
[10:45] ---
    Whoa-whoa, guys.
    Aren't you being too soft on the girl?
[10:49] ---
    Who cares?
[10:52] ---
    Just shut up and die.
[10:56] ---
    Agent Inukai, bailed out!
[10:58] ---
    Kageura Squad beautifully
    snatched the point!

[11:00] ---
    Yes!
[11:02] ---
    Bail out!
[11:06] ---
    And Agent Amatori got away!
[11:09] ---
    She was saved by Kageura Squad
    in the end!

[11:13] ---
    I didn't know...
[11:16] ---
    that you had a soft spot for Tamakoma.
[11:20] ---
    Ema.
[11:21] ---
    It's nothing like that.
    I just don't like you people.
[11:26] ---
    I see.
[11:30] ---
    Agent Ema assisted his captain to score
    nicely!
[11:32] ---
    But he's been targeted by
    Captain Ninomiya!
[11:35] ---
    It's a hit.
[11:36] ---
    But you haven't taken him down yet.
[11:38] ---
    It also hit his leg so I think
    he can't move that fast now.

[11:42] ---
    Send me the map of the building.
[11:45] ---
    Then, support Tsuji.
[11:48] ---
    I'm gonna go after Ema.
[11:50] ---
    Roger.
[11:51] ---
    Oh? Am I unmarked?
[12:06] ---
    Just now, at the center of the stage,
    five attackers have converged!

[12:09] ---
    Although it's a stage
    with poor visibility,

[12:11] ---
    does Azuma Squad have an advantage
    with their sniper?!

[12:16] ---
    Okay. This is crunch time.

[14:27] ---
    The five attackers from the four teams
    got into a melee!
[14:30] ---
    The two from Azuma Squad
    and Tamakoma's Agent Kuga...
[14:33] ---
    will hardly be affected by the snow
    since they can use Grasshoppers?
[14:41] ---
    A melee, huh? Maybe I can get a hit
    with Lightning's bullet speed.

[14:51] ---
    But Azuma Squad can snipe! Agent Kuga
    can't jump up and down carelessly.

[14:56] ---
    Azuma-san is gonna devote himself solely
    to back up and let the other two score.
[15:02] ---
    That's opposite of what they usually do -
[15:04] ---
    which is have the attackers lure their
    enemy and the sniper finishes him off.
[15:07] ---
    What do you think...
[15:09] ---
    the other three from Tamakoma-2,
    Ninomiya Squad, and Kageura Squad,
[15:13] ---
    should do against Azuma Squad?
[15:16] ---
    They should get out of the situation
    in which Azuma Squad has control
[15:19] ---
    but the two from Azuma Squad have
    an advantage in mobile operations.
[15:23] ---
    Azuma Squad will still have the upper hand
    if the enemies split up.
[15:28] ---
    Because they can bring them down
    one by one in a three-on-one battle.
[15:33] ---
    It's either break up
    Azuma Squad's formation
[15:35] ---
    or get the other squads from behind.
[15:37] ---
    In any case,
[15:39] ---
    they need to disrupt the situation
    taking advantage of the numbers.
[15:42] ---
    Especially the one who no longer has
    any cover fire from his squadmates...
[15:46] ---
    Kuga.
[15:50] ---
    If you can shoot them after having them
    believe that you can't, it'd be nice.

[15:57] ---
    If I hadn't missed that shot...
[16:03] ---
    Yuma-kun would've had less opponents
[16:05] ---
    and Osamu-kun's efforts
    wouldn't have gone to waste!

[16:10] ---
    Yuzuru, you okay?
    Do you want me to come help you?!
[16:13] ---
    No, I don't. I can't get away anyway.
[16:17] ---
    Go help Kage-san.
[16:19] ---
    Ordinarily, he wouldn't be
    defeated but it's snowy.
[16:23] ---
    Okay. Got it!
[16:31] ---
    You better hurry, Zoe-san.
    I don't think I can buy that much time.
[16:37] ---
    I saw that technique
    in the previous match!

[16:43] ---
    From his head?!
[16:49] ---
    Koarai!
[16:49] ---
    Oh no!
[16:53] ---
    That was close! I was within
    Kageura senpai's striking distance!
[16:57] ---
    Make sure you keep your distance!
[16:58] ---
    Tsk! How annoying!
[17:02] ---
    Captain Kageura's Scorpion
    changes its shape like a whip
[17:05] ---
    and attacks Agent Koarai!
[17:08] ---
    If you get close to him carelessly
    thinking that he's an attacker,
[17:11] ---
    it suddenly extends and strikes you!
[17:14] ---
    Only a coward uses his Scorpion like that!
[17:17] ---
    That's not true.
[17:19] ---
    It's an effective way to use it
    to get your opponent out of the blue.
[17:22] ---
    As expected, those with Grasshoppers
    are in control of the melee.
[17:26] ---
    Those on the ground can't make an attack
    like always maybe because of bad footing.
[17:31] ---
    Azuma Squad is slightly leaning towards
    targeting Agent Kuga?
[17:35] ---
    It's not fair!
    Why are they targeting Yuma?!
[17:40] ---
    Yuma has Grasshopper so...
[17:42] ---
    he can move around
    without getting affected by the snow.
[17:45] ---
    He's a pest for Azuma Squad.
[17:48] ---
    If they take down Yuma,
[17:50] ---
    there'll be no other contender
    who can catch up to Azuma in snow-camo.
[17:54] ---
    Out of all the others,
    I'm getting taken down by you...
[18:06] ---
    Bail out? Is it Ema or Kitazoe?
[18:11] ---
    Agent Ema from Kageura Squad
    bailed out here!
[18:15] ---
    Ninomiya Squad scored one point
    and three teams are tied!
[18:18] ---
    Oh, crap! Hey, Zoe!
[18:21] ---
    I know, I know!
    I'll fill Yuzuru's spot, too!
[18:30] ---
    G-Got sniped?!
[18:32] ---
    Captain Azuma used Lightning
    with its fast bullet speed,
[18:35] ---
    and shot down Agent Kitazoe's Meteor!
[18:38] ---
    You've got a variety of sniper rifles.
[18:42] ---
    So you noticed, Hyuse.
[18:46] ---
    Border has three kinds of sniper rifles.
[18:49] ---
    Lightning
[18:49] ---
    Lightning with fast bullet speed.
[18:52] ---
    Egret
[18:53] ---
    Egret, an all-rounder.
[18:55] ---
    Ibis
[18:55] ---
    And Ibis which is the most powerful one.
[19:03] ---
    So the one that remained was Kitazoe.
[19:06] ---
    Captain Azuma changed Lightning
    into high-impact Ibis.
[19:11] ---
    Changing his rifle flexibly
    depending on his target.
[19:15] ---
    How accurate and quickly you can make the
    decision is one of the sniper's skills.
[19:20] ---
    He knows all there is to know about
    being a sniper.
[19:23] ---
    He hit the bullets! He's insane!
[19:33] ---
    Nino-san?!
[19:34] ---
    Captain Ninomiya protected Agent Kitazoe?!
[19:37] ---
    No, he just didn't wanna let Azuma Squad score a point.
[19:40] ---
    So greedy.
[19:42] ---
    This is my point!
[19:45] ---
    I thought so.
[19:49] ---
    Oh no!
[19:50] ---
    The bombardment!
[19:52] ---
    You finally came that close!
[19:58] ---
    Okudera!
[20:07] ---
    The bombardment destroyed the building
    opening up a firing line for him.

[20:12] ---
    What a blunder.
[20:20] ---
    Following Agent Kitazoe,
    three got eliminated at once!
[20:23] ---
    Who got which point?!
[20:25] ---
    Kageura got Okudera,
    Kuga got Koarai,
[20:28] ---
    and Captain Azuma shot down Tsuji at the end.
[20:32] ---
    - I guess that's about it.
    - Yes, that's about it.
[20:36] ---
    Thank you very much!
[20:39] ---
    And at this stage of the hard battle,
[20:41] ---
    Captain Kageura and Agent Kuga
    are ready for a blade duel!

[20:59] ---
    Now, come on, shrimp!
[21:04] ---
    Let's play this time for sure!
[21:11] ---
    After this, we'll explain about
    Kageura Squad!

    WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
[21:15] ---
    About Kageura Squad
[21:16] ---
    It has become a tough Rank War,
    Osamu.
[21:18] ---
    Yeah, Azuma Squad is formidable,
    of course, but...
[21:19] ---
    Azuma Squad
[21:22] ---
    Ninomiya Squad
[21:22] ---
    Ninomiya Squad and Kageura Squad
    are also made up of skilled members.
[21:23] ---
    Kageura Squad
[21:25] ---
    Then, how about we review one of
    the squads, Kageura Squad today?
[21:30] ---
    - Okay.
    - They all have distinctive personalities.
[21:33] ---
    The sniper was drawing a picture
    by sniping during the drill.
[21:33] ---
    Yuzuru Ema
[21:36] ---
    He's unconventional and free-spirited.
[21:39] ---
    The gunner guy is good at
    the random Meteor which...
[21:39] ---
    Hiro Kitazoe
[21:42] ---
    he made rain down like bombs
    from a launcher without taking aim.
[21:46] ---
    The operator has quite a dirty mouth, too,
    it seems but...
[21:46] ---
    Hikari Nire
[21:49] ---
    the most distinctive one is definitely
    their captain, Kageura senpai.
[21:52] ---
    Masato Kageura
[21:54] ---
    He's currently the No.20 attacker
    after forfeiting his points but...
[21:57] ---
    he's actually so strong that even
    the No.4 attacker - Murakami senpai...
[22:00] ---
    can't best him in a series of battles.
[22:02] ---
    His specialty is the offensive technique
    that he extends Scorpion like a whip
[22:07] ---
    Emotion perception
[22:07] ---
    and "emotion perception."
[22:09] ---
    It's a Side Effect in which...
[22:11] ---
    people's feelings towards him
    cause him pinprick-like pain on the skin.
[22:14] ---
    That means even if you try to
    make a surprise attack
[22:15] ---
    Ha ha ha ha ha
[22:17] ---
    or snipe him sneakily,
    he will sense it.
[22:17] ---
    Ha ha ha ha ha
[22:19] ---
    I know what you're doing
[22:21] ---
    Hmm.
[22:22] ---
    You'll get in a one-on-one duel
    with such a tough enemy.
[22:25] ---
    I'll cheer for you from
    the operation room, Kuga!
[22:27] ---
    I'll try not to get chewed up by those
    shark-like jagged teeth while fighting!
[22:33] ---
    It's Kageura senpai's Scorpion!
[22:35] ---
    It reached this far!
[22:39] ---
    See you!
[22:41] ---
    The decisive battle in the snow
    where the aces clash is coming to an end.

[22:46] ---
    After the battle, Osamu makes
    a surprising decision for his team.
