[00:22] ---
Only one left!
[00:24] ---
Four-Eyes didn't just drop out.
[00:28] ---
A wire?!
[00:34] ---
Trion supply system destroyed.
[00:37] ---
Bailout.
[00:45] ---
(Take it)
[00:53] ---
We are dreamers
[00:55] ---
So it's the trigger
[00:57] ---
It's up to you
[00:58] ---
On the other end is
Dawn Dawn Dawn
[01:00] ---
Like a meteor
[01:02] ---
Like a meadow
[01:04] ---
It's an inevitable force
[01:06] ---
A once-in-a-lifetime meeting
[01:07] ---
The soft, precious gem
[01:10] ---
Shined strongly into our eyes
[01:14] ---
We have yet to see tomorrow's light
[01:18] ---
We'll feel discouraged at times
[01:20] ---
But let's break free from this labyrinth
[01:23] ---
We won't stop
[01:24] ---
My heart has arrived
and it's pumping hard
[01:28] ---
Wow wow oh
[01:31] ---
Let's protect the future together
[01:35] ---
Wow wow oh (Take it)
[01:38] ---
Fighter, let's head to the other side
[01:42] ---
Try, it's possible if we're together
[01:45] ---
Higher, let's fly forward
[01:48] ---
Before I lose sight of it one day
[01:52] ---
Before I end up losing you
[01:56] ---
We are dreamers
So it's the trigger
[02:00] ---
It's up to you
[02:02] ---
On the other end is
Dawn Dawn Dawn
[02:04] ---
We are believers
So it's the trigger
[02:07] ---
Come on, let's go
[02:09] ---
On the other end is
Dawn Dawn Dawn
[02:13] ---
Captain Katori, Bailout!
[02:13] ---
Negotiation
[02:16] ---
We have a winner!
[02:18] ---
The final score is 7-1-1,
Tamakoma-2 won the game.
[02:25] ---
They even had a one-on-one in the end,
[02:28] ---
but they ended up with
a massive victory.
[02:35] ---
Great job.
[02:37] ---
Phew, we won.
[02:40] ---
Yay!
[02:41] ---
Yay!
[02:42] ---
Yay!
[02:46] ---
So, let's review this match.
[02:48] ---
What's your take on it?
[02:51] ---
We saw lots of
Tamakoma's new techniques.
[02:54] ---
I feel sorry for both squads
who fought them without prior info.
[03:00] ---
Tamakoma-2 had prepared
a path to victory.
[03:03] ---
They strategically controlled
the game all the way.
[03:07] ---
Like in their match with
Suwa and Arafune Squads.
[03:11] ---
Oh, you're right!
[03:13] ---
After overcoming their loss
in Round 4, what is the core
[03:18] ---
of Tamakoma-2's new tactics?
[03:21] ---
Of course, it's Four-Eyes' wires.
[03:23] ---
True.
[03:26] ---
People say Tamakoma is weak,
aside from their ace.
[03:30] ---
So, rather than becoming stronger
to reduce the ace's burden,
[03:35] ---
his idea was to make the ace
even stronger.
[03:39] ---
The wires show his flexible mind.
[03:41] ---
I think that's a nice and practical way
to use Trion.
[03:48] ---
I knew it, Kitora is amazing.
[03:53] ---
Results from B-Rank Wars
[03:54] ---
Oh!
[03:55] ---
Kitora. Mikumo-kun's team won
with seven points.
[04:00] ---
That's natural...
[04:02] ---
if they fully used their abilities.
[04:14] ---
The main scorer is still Agent Kuga,
[04:17] ---
but his job has become easier now.
[04:20] ---
Correct.
[04:22] ---
The same goes for
Agent Amatori's sniping.
[04:25] ---
Kakizaki Squad could've beaten
Agent Kuga if it was a simple 3-on-1.
[04:31] ---
But the wires and the sniping that
disables the shields distracted them.
[04:37] ---
Agent Kuga then beat the enemy
by just catching them off-guard
[04:42] ---
without getting too close.
[04:44] ---
The strategy to give him the upper hand
started with the first sniping.
[04:52] ---
Tokieda senpai is sharp as usual.
[04:55] ---
How about the other two squads?
[04:59] ---
Kakizaki Squad generally moved
in their usual style.
[05:04] ---
But...
[05:05] ---
to win, they should've attacked
[05:08] ---
Agent Amatori earlier, not adhering
to the three-man formation.
[05:16] ---
I'm sorry.
[05:18] ---
Mitsuru's right, it was my fault.
[05:21] ---
I should've cast off the safer plan
to let you move freely.
[05:30] ---
Well, I'm not sure.
[05:32] ---
Without knowing of her Lead Bullets,
we would've been shot.
[05:36] ---
This stable formation you devised
is our strength.
[05:40] ---
Don't throw it out so easily.
[05:45] ---
We should add 2-to-1 patterns in our
formations as split maneuvers.
[05:50] ---
I see.
[05:52] ---
We can add solo moves
to our basic tactics.
[05:56] ---
When Fumika or Kotaro goes alone...
[05:59] ---
Zaki-san, give us your ideas too.
[06:03] ---
Okay.
[06:06] ---
As for Kakizaki Squad,
Teruya-chan did a great job.
[06:11] ---
She blocked the Lead Bullet sniping
[06:14] ---
and even drew out her Lead Bullet Hound.
[06:18] ---
The future opponents of Tamakoma
will have to thank Teruya-chan.
[06:24] ---
You can't dodge a Lead Bullet Hound
at first glance.
[06:29] ---
For Tamakoma, maybe it was
too early to play that card.
[06:33] ---
It's okay, we got to try it
in the field.
[06:38] ---
About Katori Squad...
[06:40] ---
Katori-chan wasn't at her best.
[06:44] ---
Usually, she goes wild,
and the other two support her.
[06:49] ---
But she didn't have many chances
this time.
[06:53] ---
For better or for worse, that team
depends on its captain.
[06:57] ---
We couldn't figure out
Four-Eyes' wire trick after all.
[07:02] ---
What type of trick was it?
[07:04] ---
I have a guess,
but it's not fair to tell it here.
[07:08] ---
You're a model commentator.
[07:11] ---
Hyuse, did you figure out Osamu's trick?
[07:16] ---
Probably, the key is in its color.
[07:18] ---
Color?
[07:20] ---
There are noisy red wires and
camouflaged normal wires.
[07:25] ---
It'll be seen as if there're two types.
[07:28] ---
In fact, the normal ones are painted
in more colors
[07:31] ---
to make some more visible than others.
[07:36] ---
They may get caught
without perceiving the latter
[07:39] ---
by only taking care of
the red and normal ones.
[07:43] ---
It's a simple trap.
[07:46] ---
They can see it if they're careful.
[07:49] ---
But slow moves are what Osamu wants
while waiting for Yuma.
[07:53] ---
It would be beneficial either way.
[07:56] ---
Hmm... Osamu is pretty smart.
[07:59] ---
With the same abilities,
whoever's more prepared wins.
[08:03] ---
That's all.
[08:06] ---
Anyway, Tamakoma prepared
diligently this time.
[08:10] ---
So they deserved to win.
[08:14] ---
Even with Kuga alone, they were fine,
and he landed his new technique.
[08:19] ---
You mean Mantis, right?
[08:21] ---
A dynamic technique, Mantis, was created
[08:23] ---
by Captain Kageura,
using two connected Scorpions.
[08:28] ---
Tamakoma-2's eagerness
for learning new tactics
[08:31] ---
is likely to affect other squads.
[08:35] ---
Perhaps the Wire Strategy will spread?
[08:38] ---
Without Kuga's physical ability
and their sniping,
[08:41] ---
that'd be hard to do at the same level.
[08:46] ---
Now then, today's matches are all done.
[08:50] ---
The rankings have been updated!
[08:54] ---
Tamakoma-2 jumped up to No. 4
with a large score.
[08:58] ---
Both Katori and Kakizaki Squads
stayed in place.
[09:02] ---
It seems Tamakoma-2 will
continue on as a dark horse.
[09:02] ---
No. 4: Tamakoma-2
[09:06] ---
The night session of Round 5 ends now.
[09:10] ---
Thank you for joining us!
[09:27] ---
I quit.
[09:29] ---
I'll leave Border.
[09:32] ---
Yoko-chan, don't say that.
[09:37] ---
The more I lose,
[09:39] ---
the more I hate myself.
[09:42] ---
So, I quit.
[09:47] ---
I think you'll hate yourself
even if you quit now.
[09:50] ---
That's not what I want to hear!
[09:54] ---
Tamakoma pisses me off.
They're just newbies!
[09:59] ---
So freakishly annoying!
[10:01] ---
Super annoying!
[10:03] ---
Leave if you want to.
[10:08] ---
Hana-san.
[10:10] ---
You should do what you like.
[10:13] ---
That's your character.
[10:18] ---
Yoko-chan, let's try for a while longer.
[10:24] ---
I think you feel annoyed with Tamakoma
because you envy them.
[10:32] ---
Let's think up ideas for a plan
and win, just like Tamakoma did.
[10:39] ---
It's not too late.
[10:44] ---
But I'm not good at thinking of ideas
or studying.
[10:50] ---
Don't worry.
[10:53] ---
Your frustration means
you can still become stronger.
[11:03] ---
How was the match?
[11:07] ---
I can say they're a bit better
than before.
[11:10] ---
Oh, that's some high praise.
[11:13] ---
Four-Eyes is going to be busy now
[11:17] ---
because he has to recruit you,
which will be quite the task.
[11:29] ---
Congrats on your huge victory,
Tamakoma-2!
[11:38] ---
Thank you, Jin-san.
[11:40] ---
Here, eat your fill.
[11:43] ---
I saw your Spider working well.
[11:45] ---
Thank you for helping us practice.
[11:49] ---
These seven points get us close to
the top two in B-Rank
[11:53] ---
and to joining the fight for A-Rank.
[11:56] ---
Reiji-san's praising you in his text.
[12:01] ---
Well done!
[12:02] ---
That fight was truly incredible.
[12:06] ---
Sit down when eating.
[12:08] ---
Let me announce great news to you,
Tamakoma-2.
[12:14] ---
Hyuse says he wants to join your squad.
[12:17] ---
What?!
[12:22] ---
Why did you change your mind?
[12:25] ---
You said the other day,
[12:28] ---
"That's 100% impossible."
[12:31] ---
Or something like that!
[12:33] ---
I think it's you who said that.
[12:37] ---
It's a long story,
don't ask him too much.
[12:43] ---
It's a deal with Jin.
[12:46] ---
I'll help you if you bring me
to Aftokrator with you.
[12:52] ---
Hmm.
[12:54] ---
Did you seriously think such a thing?
[12:57] ---
Sounds fun, right?
[12:59] ---
Not at all.
[13:01] ---
This guy was one of those after Chika.
[13:04] ---
He's obviously dangerous.
[13:06] ---
The situation has changed.
[13:11] ---
My priority is on returning home.
[13:14] ---
The Golden Goose is not a thing now.
[13:18] ---
Believing me or not is up to you.
[13:22] ---
The Golden Goose is Chika-chan, right?
[13:25] ---
Yes.
[13:26] ---
Just to tell you, he isn't lying.
[13:30] ---
I'm...okay...
[13:34] ---
if Osamu-kun is okay.
[13:36] ---
You're getting others to decide
for you again.
[13:40] ---
It looks like Yuma-kun and Jin-san
also think it's okay.
[13:44] ---
Your team is doing well
with your new techniques, right?
[13:49] ---
There's no need to let him in.
[13:52] ---
I don't think so.
[13:55] ---
Today's battle was
slightly better than before.
[13:58] ---
But it still had many flaws.
[14:01] ---
Flaws?
[14:02] ---
One of them is Chika's weight attack.
[14:05] ---
I know it's effective.
[14:07] ---
But it was obvious that you can't shoot
people with normal bullets
[14:14] ---
because you used the weight bullets
even when you could score.
[14:20] ---
More importantly, the fact is the same
that if Yuma is taken down,
[14:25] ---
the team would lose.
[14:28] ---
If Kakizaki finished him off,
[14:31] ---
the result would've been different.
[14:34] ---
No matter how great you cover him,
it's over when he loses.
[14:41] ---
I will...
[14:42] ---
become your second ace.
[14:48] ---
If so, you won't be overwhelmed
by any opponents.
[14:54] ---
He knows what we lack
only by watching our matches.
[14:59] ---
He must be a veteran in combat.
[15:02] ---
It's reassuring if he joins us.
[15:07] ---
But...
[15:11] ---
What about his horns?
They would know he's a Neighbor.
[15:15] ---
Yeah. Also, he was seen by people
during the Large-Scale Invasion.
[15:21] ---
Any ideas?
[15:22] ---
About the horns...
[15:26] ---
He can get into a horn-less Trion body.
[15:31] ---
I can make his model without horns.
[15:33] ---
Only a few C-Rank agents saw him
[15:37] ---
from a distance at the scene.
[15:40] ---
Without the horns, no one will
remember him.
[15:43] ---
What about his identity?
[15:45] ---
A foreigner might stand out in Border.
[15:48] ---
Our engineer looks like a foreigner,
so let's say they're related.
[15:54] ---
Oh, Tamakoma has an engineer?
[15:57] ---
We do.
[15:59] ---
He's out recruiting
in other prefectures.
[16:03] ---
His name's Michael Khronin,
set up as a Canadian.
[16:07] ---
"Set up?"
[16:09] ---
Khronin is a Neighbor.
[16:12] ---
A Neighbor?!
[16:13] ---
I see, so I wasn't the first one.
[16:17] ---
Neighbors are close to us.
[16:19] ---
As you can see, his appearance and
identity don't matter.
[16:24] ---
The problem is...
[16:27] ---
How to convince the higher-ups, right?
[16:30] ---
Exactly.
[16:32] ---
And that's...
[16:34] ---
I know, that's what I should do
as the captain.
[16:39] ---
It won't be easy, but as long as
Hyuse is cooperative...
[16:43] ---
Hold on.
[16:45] ---
One thing to note.
[16:47] ---
As I told you, I'll...
[16:50] ---
never say anything about my nation.
[16:53] ---
Huh?!
[16:54] ---
You're the one who wants to join them.
[16:57] ---
You're so selfish!
[16:59] ---
This is non-negotiable.
[17:01] ---
If you refuse, this deal's off.
[17:07] ---
Even if you keep silent,
Border has already gained
[17:11] ---
information about Afto
from Enedora's horns.
[17:16] ---
Complying and getting along with us
is beneficial for you.
[17:25] ---
If you got the info, you'd already know
[17:29] ---
that I pledged allegiance to my master.
[17:34] ---
That dog would never betray
his country.
[17:37] ---
He'd rather die than cough up info.
[17:41] ---
I don't care if I benefit or not.
[17:43] ---
I don't want to be ashamed of myself
when I face my master again.
[17:51] ---
Sharing info is bad while traveling
with us is acceptable?
[17:58] ---
If you all try to harm my master,
I'll sink your entire ship.
[18:04] ---
He's dangerous for sure.
[18:06] ---
Osamu, your thoughts?
[18:13] ---
Fine, I'll accept the condition.
[18:16] ---
Seriously?!
[18:20] ---
It's hard to convince him
if he doesn't care about benefitting.
[18:25] ---
But...
[18:26] ---
we're both planning to go to Aftokrator,
and that's enough to team up.
[18:32] ---
But in that case...
[18:34] ---
it'll be quite hard to make
the higher-ups agree.
[18:38] ---
Geez, why go through all the trouble?
[18:42] ---
I think they have something to gain
from this, too.
[18:47] ---
I'll do what I can,
[18:49] ---
by preparing everything possible.
[18:56] ---
Osamu.
[18:58] ---
I'll sit with you too, but I wouldn't
be of much help.
[19:02] ---
That's fine. I have the materials
I'll need.
[19:06] ---
We have a chance.
[19:08] ---
I see, then I'm looking forward to it.
[19:13] ---
Oh, yeah.
[19:15] ---
I've got just one favor
to ask you, sir.
[19:20] ---
Jin.
[19:22] ---
If it fails today,
[19:24] ---
create a plan B to get me back
to Aftokrator.
[19:29] ---
No problem.
[19:31] ---
Have more faith in Four-Eyes.
[19:45] ---
Well...
[19:49] ---
Let's hear it.
[19:53] ---
Thank you for making time
in your busy schedules.
[19:59] ---
I'm here to make a request of you.
[20:02] ---
I'd like you to allow Hyuse
to join Tamakoma-2.
[20:11] ---
We already heard about it
from Director Rindo.
[20:16] ---
Geez.
[20:18] ---
Mikumo-kun, do you understand
what you're asking?
[20:23] ---
That Neighbor is one of the villains
from the invasion who attacked our city.
[20:29] ---
Although we left how to treat him
to the Tamakoma Branch,
[20:33] ---
it'd normally be inexcusable
to let him roam free.
[20:37] ---
Besides, bringing him into your team?
That sounds crazy.
[20:43] ---
The situation has changed, sir.
[20:46] ---
Hyuse has agreed to my proposal too.
[20:50] ---
Hmm.
[20:54] ---
I need to return home promptly.
[20:57] ---
I believe you can see the reason.
[21:01] ---
Joining your Away Mission
is the quickest.
[21:04] ---
That's why I'm here.
[21:08] ---
It's in a dog's nature to rush to
his master no matter what.
[21:14] ---
You'll help us if that helps you
get back home?
[21:20] ---
Do you mean you'll give us
information about Aftokrator
[21:25] ---
that you refused to share
with us before?
[21:28] ---
That's still a no.
[21:33] ---
I won't share any info
against my master.
[21:37] ---
That will never change.
[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
[23:08] ---
[23:10] ---
