[00:15] ---
    One day, a Gate from another dimension
    opened in Mikado City and
[00:18] ---
    invaders called Neighbors appeared.
[00:22] ---
    When people thought
    their lives were at stake,
[00:24] ---
    Border showed up and
    drove off the Neighbors.
[00:28] ---
    Four years later,
    a Border agent, Osamu Mikumo,
[00:31] ---
    meets a mysterious boy, Yuma Kuga,
    who claims himself to be a Neighbor.
[00:36] ---
    Then, under Chief Commander Kido's orders,
    Miwa Squad appeared in front of them.
[00:43] ---
    So, which of you is the Neighbor?
[00:46] ---
    I am. I'm the Neighbor.
[00:49] ---
    I'll kill every Neighbor.
[00:51] ---
    That's a Border agent's job.
[00:54] ---
    Four talented Miwa Squad members
    attacked in unison fiercely,
[00:58] ---
    and drove Yuma into a corner.
[01:10] ---
    Kuga...!!
[01:14] ---
    The Black Trigger
[01:21] ---
    You hit it.
[01:22] ---
    Way to go, Narasaka senpai.
[01:24] ---
    That was a bad shot.
    That was my chance to kill it outright.
[01:29] ---
    That was a perfect surprise shot,
    and he reacted...
[01:32] ---
    I'll never hit him from this range now.
[01:35] ---
    I'll move close enough so
    he can't dodge even if he reacts.
[01:39] ---
    You stay there and keep pressuring him.
[01:42] ---
    Roger.
[01:45] ---
    Yuma-kun's arm...
[01:48] ---
    I knew this was reckless.
[01:50] ---
    Two A-Rank agents, plus snipers...
[01:53] ---
    But...what is this?
    Something is not right.
[01:59] ---
    Aww... I wish
    I could've fought him one on one.
[02:04] ---
    If he doesn't fight back,
    it's like we're bullying him.
[02:08] ---
    He's right.
    For Kuga, that was too passive.
[02:12] ---
    Why won't Kuga fight back?
[02:14] ---
    I know he is a lot stronger than that.
[02:19] ---
    Hmm. I can think of two reasons.
[02:24] ---
    First, they're simply
    choosing good positions.
[02:29] ---
    When one approaches him, the other
    is always moving into Yuma's blind spot.
[02:33] ---
    If Yuma focuses on one, the other
    immediately moves to exploit the opening.
[02:41] ---
    Then Yuma tried to get to a larger
    space to avoid the pincer attack...
[02:53] ---
    But they anticipated that too
    and he was sniped.
[02:56] ---
    They're a team that
    is quite used to fighting.
[02:59] ---
    Does that mean he doesn't stand a chance?
[03:02] ---
    No, they're tough to beat
    but not unbeatable for Yuma.
[03:07] ---
    The second reason
    Yuma doesn't fight back is
[03:11] ---
    because he's probably
    concerned about your position.
[03:14] ---
    Me?
[03:17] ---
    You were finally promoted to B-Rank.
[03:20] ---
    But that could all be lost
    because you were hiding him.
[03:24] ---
    So he tried to negotiate peacefully,
    but they didn't listen to him.
[03:32] ---
    Hey, you know Jin-san in Border?
[03:36] ---
    Can you ask him about me?
[03:39] ---
    We sort of know each other.
[03:40] ---
    Y...yes! If you ask Jin-san,
    you'll understand
[03:44] ---
    that he's not like other Neighbors.
[03:47] ---
    Jin...?
[03:50] ---
    I knew he was in on this.
[03:52] ---
    Those Tamakoma Branch traitors!
[03:55] ---
    "Traitors?"
[03:57] ---
    Step aside, Mikumo.
[03:59] ---
    We're following
    Commander Kido's special orders.
[04:02] ---
    If you continue to interfere...
[04:06] ---
    I'll remove you by force.
[04:10] ---
    Now I get it.
[04:12] ---
    The reason Kuga is being cornered is
    not because he is weaker.
[04:18] ---
    By protecting me, he's trying
    to not endanger my position.
[04:23] ---
    That doesn't mean
    he'll just let them kill him.
[04:28] ---
    Here I come!
[04:35] ---
    He's probably thinking of how he can
    amicably neutralize the opponents now.
[04:42] ---
    Amicably?
[04:43] ---
    Can he win that way?
[04:45] ---
    I think it'll be difficult but
    it's something only Yuma can decide.
[04:52] ---
    Is Yuma-kun really a Neighbor?
[04:56] ---
    That's right.
[04:58] ---
    But he is different
    from other Neighbors.
[05:02] ---
    Kuga has saved me many times.
[05:04] ---
    Kuga is a Neighbor, but he's my friend.
    What do you think, Chika?
[05:14] ---
    I'm riding.
[05:15] ---
    I'm really riding!
[05:24] ---
    The bike I paid for almost
    sank into the river.
[05:29] ---
    I'm sorry I let go.
[05:31] ---
    No, I definitely got the hang of it, though.
[05:35] ---
    Thanks to you...
[05:37] ---
    Um... I didn't get your name.
[05:41] ---
    I'm Chika. Chika Amatori.
[05:44] ---
    All right, Chika.
[05:46] ---
    I'm Yuma. Yuma Kuga.
[05:49] ---
    You're soaked.
[05:51] ---
    You'll catch a cold.
[05:52] ---
    You're more soaked than I am, Yuma-kun.
[05:55] ---
    Oh yeah?
[05:56] ---
    Yes.
[05:59] ---
    Yes, I feel the same way.
[06:02] ---
    Even though Yuma-kun is a Neighbor,
    I'm not scared of him.
[06:08] ---
    Don't make this difficult, Neighbor.
[06:15] ---
    Just give up and die already.
[06:21] ---
    Shield.
[06:28] ---
    It's heavy. What's this?
[06:31] ---
    It's a Trigger that converts Trion
    into weights to restrain the opponent.
[06:36] ---
    Though it causes no direct destruction,
    it doesn't seem to interfere with Shield.
[06:41] ---
    It's over, Neighbor.
[06:44] ---
    Kuga!
[06:45] ---
    Analysis complete.
[06:46] ---
    Seals are set for Bolt and Anchor.
[06:49] ---
    Okay.
[06:51] ---
    Anchor.
[06:53] ---
    Plus, Bolt Quadra!
[07:08] ---
    Hey, this is cool.
[07:11] ---
    He copied the opponent's attack?!
[07:14] ---
    No, this is a lot more
    powerful than ours.
[07:18] ---
    Wow...
[07:23] ---
    The tip can freely transform.
[07:27] ---
    So that's how it got me
    even when I just barely avoided it.
[07:33] ---
    Miwa and Yosuke were defeated.
[07:36] ---
    He's dangerous...
    I'll get rid of him right now.
[07:39] ---
    Yo, Narasaka!
[07:43] ---
    Want a fried rice cracker?
[07:45] ---
    Jin-san...
[07:48] ---
    Give it up already.
    It's best not to get on his bad side.
[07:55] ---
    Well, then...
[07:58] ---
    Shall we talk?

[09:40] ---
    A few hours ago...
[09:43] ---
    Yo, where're you going, Shuji?
[09:47] ---
    Jin-san...
[09:49] ---
    It's none of your business
    where I'm going.
[09:53] ---
    You're gonna follow
    Four-Eyes, aren't you?
[09:56] ---
    Don't do that.
    It'll only get tedious.
[09:59] ---
    My Side Effect tells me so.
[10:02] ---
    You interrupted us the other day too.
[10:08] ---
    I get it. You're in league with Mikumo.
[10:11] ---
    You're wrong.
[10:13] ---
    I'm not covering for him.
[10:16] ---
    I'm simply worried about you guys.
[10:22] ---
    What is he...?
    What is his Trigger...?
[10:26] ---
    He copied our attack and returned it
    with many times more power.
[10:31] ---
    His Trigger learns
    other people's attacks...
[10:35] ---
    Is it even possible to have
    such an unfair Trigger?
[10:40] ---
    He's strong.
[10:42] ---
    He turned the tables in one shot.
[10:44] ---
    So Jin-san was...
[10:47] ---
    Didn't I tell you?
[10:49] ---
    Jin-san!
[10:50] ---
    Hi, there.
[10:52] ---
    I unexpectedly met with Replica sensei
    on the roof of a building.
[10:56] ---
    So I thought I'd stop by.
[10:59] ---
    Oh, I see a cute girl there.
[11:01] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[11:03] ---
    N...nice to meet you, too.
[11:06] ---
    I'm Chika Amatori.
[11:08] ---
    Hey, I'm the power elite, Jin.
[11:13] ---
    Cute girls like you are always welcome.
[11:17] ---
    I guess Yuma and the others
    are over there.
[11:20] ---
    Are those two behind Jin-san
    from Miwa squad?
[11:24] ---
    They're the snipers.
[11:25] ---
    I was going to take care of them.
[11:28] ---
    But thanks to Jin,
    it ended without a fight.
[11:30] ---
    Look at you, Yuma.
    They got you pretty good.
[11:34] ---
    Oh, Jin-san?
[11:36] ---
    Dropped your guard?
[11:37] ---
    Nope, they were simply strong.
[11:42] ---
    You were defeated pretty badly, senpai.
[11:45] ---
    Yikes, this is so embarrassing.
[11:47] ---
    See, Shuji?
    This is why I told you to stop.
[11:51] ---
    Did you come here to make fun of us?
[11:54] ---
    No.
[11:56] ---
    It's no surprise you lost,
[11:59] ---
    because his Trigger is a Black Trigger.
[12:04] ---
    A Black Trigger?
[12:06] ---
    Really?
[12:07] ---
    A Black Trigger...
[12:10] ---
    Actually, you managed
    to put up a good fight.
[12:13] ---
    Although Yuma had no intention
    of killing you,
[12:16] ---
    in typical fashion, the A-Rank
    Miwa squad did a great job.
[12:19] ---
    Replica, what is a Black Trigger?
[12:22] ---
    Hmm.
[12:24] ---
    A Black Trigger...
[12:26] ---
    is a special Trigger made by high
    Trion ability holders to manifest their power.
[12:33] ---
    even after death by putting in
    their life energy and all of their Trion.
[12:42] ---
    Because a Black Trigger
    strongly reflects
[12:44] ---
    the personality and senses of
    the one who made it,
[12:48] ---
    it can't be activated unless
    the owner is compatible with it.
[12:53] ---
    But its performance is in an entirely
    different league from normal Triggers.
[13:01] ---
    Their life energy and all of their Trion?
[13:06] ---
    If you have a Trigger,
    you must be a Border agent.
[13:11] ---
    No, I don't work with them.
[13:13] ---
    It's my father's Trigger.
[13:16] ---
    He left it to me when he died.
[13:19] ---
    "If I die, go to Japan.
[13:22] ---
    My friend works for
    a group called Border."
[13:26] ---
    He always said that.
[13:29] ---
    That means...
[13:31] ---
    We're struggling enough with
    regular Neighbors lately.
[13:35] ---
    If you make an enemy of a
    Black Trigger, you'll regret it.
[13:39] ---
    There's no merit in chasing this guy.
[13:42] ---
    You should go back
    and tell Kido-san that.
[13:45] ---
    Who can guarantee that
[13:47] ---
    he isn't working with the Neighbors
    that have attacked the city?
[13:50] ---
    I can guarantee he isn't.
[13:52] ---
    I'd bet my job and everything I own.
[13:55] ---
    Jin-san...
[13:58] ---
    Your Side Effect that sees
    the future tells you so?
[14:03] ---
    No merit?
[14:05] ---
    Whether there's merit
    or not doesn't matter!
[14:07] ---
    All Neighbors are our enemies!
[14:10] ---
    Bail out!
[14:14] ---
    Whoa. He flew.
[14:16] ---
    It's "bail out."
[14:18] ---
    The official Border agents' Triggers
    can "bail out."
[14:21] ---
    It means they can make
    an emergency escape,
[14:24] ---
    or when the Trion body is destroyed,
[14:26] ---
    they can be sent back to the base
    automatically.
[14:30] ---
    So they can escape even if they lose.
    How convenient.
[14:36] ---
    Agh. I completely lost.
[14:39] ---
    And he was even holding back.
[14:41] ---
    Well, do what you want.
[14:43] ---
    I tried to kill you.
    I can't complain if you kill me.
[14:47] ---
    Forget about it.
    I doubt you could've killed me anyway.
[14:50] ---
    Really? What a shock!
[14:56] ---
    Let's have a match
    outside work next time. One on one!
[15:00] ---
    Don't you hate Neighbors?
[15:02] ---
    They've never harmed me in any way.
[15:05] ---
    I have no personal grudge against them.
[15:08] ---
    But those two...
[15:10] ---
    Their houses were destroyed,
    so they have a grudge against Neighbors.
[15:14] ---
    And Shuji, who just flew away...
[15:16] ---
    His sister was killed by Neighbors,
    so he'll never forgive them.
[15:44] ---
    I see.
[15:45] ---
    Yosuke, let's go back.
[15:47] ---
    All right.
[15:48] ---
    See ya!
    And don't hold back next time!
[15:57] ---
    Well, then...
[15:59] ---
    I should go to the base too since
    Miwa Squad will only report one side.
[16:05] ---
    How about you, Four-Eyes?
[16:07] ---
    Either way, they'll probably
    be calling you in too.
[16:10] ---
    Then I'm coming too.
[16:12] ---
    You and Kuga can wait for me somewhere.
[16:14] ---
    Sure.
[16:15] ---
    Okay.
[16:16] ---
    Chika, Kuga doesn't know much
    about Japan yet, so take care of him.
[16:21] ---
    Sure. I will.
[16:23] ---
    Well, you two. See you later.
[16:29] ---
    Well, that was embarrassing.
[16:33] ---
    So, want to get something to eat
    while we wait for Osamu-kun.
[16:37] ---
    Okay. Then I'll have
    whatever you like to eat.
[16:41] ---
    What do you like, Chika?
[16:43] ---
    Well...
[16:45] ---
    I like plain rice.
[16:46] ---
    Plain rice...?
[16:48] ---
    Yeah. White rice.
[16:50] ---
    Got it.
[16:54] ---
    Where can we eat white rice?
[16:58] ---
    A place that serves combo meals.
[17:00] ---
    Not "combo meals," but "white rice."
[17:02] ---
    A place that serves only white rice...
[17:06] ---
    I don't think there is one.
[17:09] ---
    So it's too much to ask
    when I only have paper money...
[17:13] ---
    Hey, I know! Come with me!
[17:25] ---
    I see.
[17:27] ---
    Thanks for the update.
[17:29] ---
    For crying out loud.
[17:31] ---
    You again? Just like last time.
[17:34] ---
    You just keep bringing trouble.
[17:38] ---
    And it's a Black Trigger...
[17:42] ---
    Why did you keep such
    a serious matter to yourself?
[17:47] ---
    You risked Border's trust.
[17:50] ---
    I'm sure Mikumo-kun had his reasons.
[17:53] ---
    According to Jin, Mikumo-kun has
    been keeping the Black Trigger contained.
[17:59] ---
    Even so,
[18:01] ---
    he's obligated to report to us.
[18:03] ---
    It's not something one agent
    can take care of.
[18:06] ---
    He's right.
[18:08] ---
    It's a Black Trigger
    we're talking about!
[18:11] ---
    If he had reported it, it could've made
    a big stir and led to more trouble.
[18:17] ---
    Oh, it's nothing.
[18:19] ---
    Now, now, let's try to
    look at this another way.
[18:23] ---
    What if the Black Trigger
    joins our side?
[18:28] ---
    What do you think?
[18:37] ---
    Here you are.
[18:41] ---
    It's surprisingly white!
[18:44] ---
    I can have this, Chika?
    This is very nice!
[18:47] ---
    Sure. I just made
    the white rice into a ball...
[19:07] ---
    I can feel some sort of power rising.
[19:11] ---
    Maybe now...
[19:21] ---
    Yuma-kun?
[19:25] ---
    I thought it was because of the power of
    white rice that you could ride a bike...
[19:31] ---
    But I guess the Japanese
    have special training, after all.
[19:38] ---
    Did Osamu train too?
[19:39] ---
    I don't know if he trained,
    but he can ride better than me.
[19:44] ---
    So he's a better rider
    than my master, Chika.
[19:47] ---
    Way to go, Osamu.
[19:51] ---
    Four-Eyes has gained the Neighbor's trust.
[19:56] ---
    If we can get it
    on our side through him,
[19:59] ---
    we'll obtain a great asset in battle
    without having to fight.
[20:04] ---
    That's true, but...
[20:06] ---
    I'm not sure if it'll work so well.
[20:08] ---
    It is true that a Black Trigger
    will be a great asset in battle.
[20:12] ---
    Okay. I got it.
[20:15] ---
    Eliminate the Neighbor,
[20:18] ---
    and then collect the Black Trigger.
[20:23] ---
    Then there'll be no problem.
[20:27] ---
    It's a valuable Black Trigger...
    We don't want to pass that up.
[20:32] ---
    The 1st though 3rd A-Rank Squads are on
    expeditions right now, so it's bad timing,
[20:38] ---
    but if we use the rest of
    the official agents, we can do it.
[20:42] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
[20:44] ---
    That's no different from mugging!
[20:46] ---
    And during that time, what do you
    intend to do about defense?
[20:50] ---
    We don't have to use any squads.
[20:54] ---
    Fight a Black Trigger...
    with another Black Trigger.
[21:02] ---
    Another Black Trigger?
[21:08] ---
    Jin...
[21:10] ---
    I order you to capture
    the Black Trigger.
[21:19] ---
    Jin-san will go after Kuga?
[21:22] ---
    To thank you for the rice, I'll share
    some tasty stuff I found with you.
[21:27] ---
    Still, I'm surprised one piece of that
    paper money could buy so much.
[21:32] ---
    I'm not sure if I can eat all this.
[21:44] ---
    We'll tell you more about
    Black Trigger after this!
[21:47] ---
    WORLD TRIGGER Fun Facts
[21:49] ---
    A Black Trigger...
[21:50] ---
    So, your Trigger was special.
[21:53] ---
    And Jin-san's Trigger too.
[21:54] ---
    High Trion ability holders
    can make them
[21:57] ---
    by putting in their life energy
    and all of their Trion.
[22:02] ---
    It's a real keepsake.
[22:04] ---
    But if the owner isn't
    compatible with it,
[22:08] ---
    they can't use it.
[22:10] ---
    So you can only use it if it chooses you.
[22:13] ---
    Anyway, just from the sound of it,
    "Black" Trigger sounds strong!
[22:17] ---
    Yeah. But if Chika leaves
    her Trigger in this world,
[22:21] ---
    "Black" doesn't match her image.
[22:23] ---
    Let's call hers a "Pink" Trigger.
[22:25] ---
    I don't want to jinx her,
    but "White" Trigger sounds good too.
[22:30] ---
    Orange isn't bad, either.
[22:31] ---
    Green could actually be nice.
[22:33] ---
    I got it! Why don't we name it
    the "Rainbow" Trigger?
[22:36] ---
    Hey, Kuga, what color Trigger
    do you think would suit me?
[22:40] ---
    Weren't you listening, Osamu?
[22:42] ---
    Black Triggers can be left
    only by high Trion ability holders.
[22:48] ---
    See you!
[22:52] ---
    What does Jin do after receiving
    Commander Kido's orders?
[22:56] ---
    While Osamu watches nervously,
    Border's secrets are revealed.
[23:02] ---
    Next time on WORLD TRIGGER:
    The Organization Known as Border
[23:05] ---
    Trigger on!
