First of all, so much thanks for everyone who sent nice comments to my inbox! It reminds me that there are still people reading my posts and gives me a reason to keep posting here.

Also thanks to the anon who reminded me that Reddit World Trigger actually does have posts that aren’t about OCs sometimes lol Reddit isn’t my kind of place, but I had a peek and was forcefully reminded how I really disagree with how the localisation translates sometimes…at least it’s good motivation to keep posting my translations (so extra thanks to those who likes reading more than one translation of the series). So don’t worry guys, not enjoying translating is never the problem XD It’s more about time especially since my casual gaming is somehow taking up so much time recently…I was actually doing pretty well this time, I finished translating about ¾ of it about two weeks after it came out, but then a new event started on two of the games I was playing and I just barely finished yesterday…

In conclusion, this one’s for all of you telling me that you’re waiting for my translations <3

Panel 1

Sakurako: People of Border, good evening!

Sakurako: I am Ebina squad’s operator, Taketomi Sakurako!

Panel 2

Sakurako: It’s the eighth B-rank Rank War, evening division!

Sakurako: The last match for this season has finally arrived!

Panel 3

Sakurako: This time, in the commentating seats, are these distinguished guests!

Panel 4

Sakurako: Tamakoma First’s ace Attacker, Konami-sempai and!

Konami: Thank you for having me!

Panel 5

Sakurako: From Ouji squad, who have finished their fierce battle in the day division

Sakurako: We have Captain Ouji and Agent Kurauchi!

Kurauchi: Thanks for having us

Ouji: Thanks for your hard work

Panel 1

Sakurako: Now then

Sakurako: To summarise the results of today’s day division’s match

Panel 2

Sakurako: Azuma squad got 4 points, Kageura squad got 3, and Ouji squad also got 3

Sakurako: Was the result

| Points Earned | Survival Points | Total

Azuma squad | 2 | 2 | 4

Kageura squad | 3 | | 3

Ouji squad | 3 | | 3

Panel 3

Sakurako: Our two Ouji squad members

Sakurako: How was the match?

Panel 4

Kurauchi: As it was the exhibition hall stage, which is Azuma-san’s strong point

Kurauchi: We were on guard for sniping as the fight progressed, but…

Panel 5

Ouji: To think Okkun and Koara had equipped bullet triggers

Ouji: We were taken completely by surprise

Panel 1

Ouji: Finally, even Kage-kun, chased by Azuma squad

Ouji: Had his attention divided by Okkun’s bullets

Ouji: And was taken down by Azuma-san

Panel 2

Ouji: Rather, I think we should be praised

Ouji: For ending it with 4-3-3, with such slim margins

Sakurako: I see…!

Panel 3

Sakurako: And…a big point for the last round is

001 Ninomiya squad

002 Kageura squad <

003 Tamakoma 2nd <

004 Ikoma squad

005 Ouji squad

Sakurako: The fierce competition for no.2 between Kageura squad and Tamakoma Second

Panel 4

Sakurako: With Kageura squad earning 3 points

Sakurako: Tamakoma Second will now

Sakurako: Need 4 points to become no.2

Sakurako: How do you feel about this, Konami-sempai?

Panel 1

Konami: 4 points is child’s play!

Konami: Nicely done, Azuma-san and Ohji!

Panel 2

Konami: I shall praise you!

Ouji: Yay

Panel 3

Sakurako: In which case

Sakurako: The chances of Tamakoma Second reaching no.2 or above are high…!?

Panel 4

Konami: This time it’s a four way fight so there are more people

Konami: If it’s our kids, they can surely get 4 points

Panel 5

Konami: In the previous four way fight

Konami: They got 6 points and won

| Points Earned | Survival Points | Total

Tamakoma 2nd | 4 | 2 | 6

Azuma squad | 2 | | 2

Kageura squad | 2 | | 2

Suzunari First | 1 | | 1

Panel 1

Ouji: Hmmm, well

Ouji: If we look at the previous match, it’s true that’s what happened, but…

Panel 2

Ouji: Tamakoma earned 6 points due to the fact that ‘survival points were included’

Ouji: What they earned from defeating enemies were ‘4 points’

Panel 3

Ouji: And this time

Ouji: Huston’s abilities are now well known

Ouji: So it doesn’t seem like it’ll be as easy to earn points as before

Ouji: If we think of it that way

Panel 4

Ouji: I believe they might actually only barely get it

Panel 5

Konami: Then all they need to do is get the survival points again this time!

Ouji: Can they?

Panel 1

Ouji: This season, Ninomiya-san

Ouji: Is the person with the highest survival rate next to Azuma-san, you know?

Panel 2

Konami: …!

Sakurako: That’s true…!

Panel 3

Sakurako: The only times Captain Ninomiya was taken down was

Sakurako: When he took Captain Ikoma’s Senkuu from the other side of a wall in Round 2 and

Sakurako: When Captain Kageura took them both out with his ambush in Round 6, just twice!

Panel 4

Sakurako: If they don’t take that Captain Ninomiya out

Sakurako: They can’t get survival points…!

Konami: Hmm…

Panel 5

Konami: So that’s why Osamu

Konami: Was making countermeasures for Ninomiya-san so much

Panel 1

Ouji: Huh

Ouji: Ossam was?

Panel 2

Sakurako: !

Sakurako: Yuba squad has decided on the map just now!

Panel 3

Sakurako: The map they chose is ‘Urban Area B’!

Kurauchi: Yuba squad will always pick this map when they have the right to choose

Kurauchi: So it’s just as expected

Panel 4

Sakurako: Talking about Yuba squad…

Panel 5

Sakurako: Captain Ouji and Agent Kurauchi are

First Generation Yuba Squad

Fujimaru Nono Yuba Takuma

Kanda Tadaomi Kurauchi Kazuki Ouji Kazuaki

Sakurako: Connected to them having been ‘initial Yuba squad members’

Panel 1

Sakurako: From your viewpoint

Sakurako: What is your impression of Yuba squad as they face the final match?

Panel 2

Kurauchi: As expected, they seem to be having it hard without Kanda

Ouji: Because Kandata was an extremely thorough man

Panel 3

Ouji: If Yuba squad drops from the upper tier here

Ouji: Kandata is likely to feel responsible

Ouji: So Yuba-san probably wants to do all he can to remain in the upper tier

Panel 4

Konami: Ahhh, it’s true Yuba-chan seems like he’d care about that kind of thing

Panel 5

Sakurako: I see…!

Sakurako: Whether Yuba squad can remain in the upper tier or not

Sakurako: Is also one of the points to focus on in this match!

Panel 1

Sakurako: …now

00:13:24

Until Start

Sakurako: Only a little left until the start of the fated match!

Panel 3

Osamu: …alright

Osamu: One last review

Tamakoma 2nd Operation Room

Panel 4

Osamu: In the opening phase, everyone head to where Chika is

Osamu: This is the priority this time too

Panel 1

Osamu: If Chika and Hus can join up

Osamu: Progress to a firepower battle like we practiced

Panel 2

Osamu: I will spread the wire formation for insurance

Panel 3

Osamu: This time it’s different from the previous match

Osamu: Chika has ‘normal bullets’

Osamu: So even if it becomes a game of hide-and-seek

Osamu: We can make the opponents move with Meteora or Hound

Panel 4

Osamu: The ideal is to tighten our defences

Osamu: And lie in wait in the wire formation

Panel 1

Yuuma: So a powered up version of the tactics used on Katori squad and Kakizaki squad

Chika: Yeah, got it

Panel 2

Osamu: Next

Osamu: What’s important is ascertaining the positions of each team’s ace

Panel 3

Osamu: If Chika and Hus get together

Osamu: I don’t think they’ll lose in a shootout against any opponent, but…

Panel 4

Osamu: Ikoma-san’s ‘Long Senkuu’

Osamu: Has the power to take Hus out along with his Shield

Panel 5

Osamu: Listen to Usami-sempai’s instructions

Osamu: And don’t let Chika enter Senkuu’s range

Hus: Right

Usami: Leave it to me~!

Panel 1

Osamu: And Ninomiya-san

Osamu: Might use composite bullets if Inukai-sempai or Tsuji-sempai are near

*knead knead knead*

Osamu: Be careful not to have your defence torn down by Gimlet

Panel 2

Osamu: Enemies that approach by using buildings to block bullets

Osamu: Are to be defeated by Chika’s Meteora or

Osamu: Kuga’s Wire Manoeuvres

Yuuma: OK

Panel 3

Osamu: If it seems difficult for Chika and Hus to meet up

Osamu: Transition to the backup plan with Kuga and Hus as the focal points

Panel 4

Osamu: If it seems like we can earn points somewhere else

Osamu: We don’t need to fixate on forcing a battle of firepower

Panel 5

Osamu: I leave the timing of using your ‘secret weapon’ Viper

Osamu: Up to you, Hus

Hus: I know

Panel 1

Osamu: …alright

Osamu: 4 more points

Panel 2

Osamu: It’s the final match

Osamu: Let’s get them!

Yuuma & Chika & Usami: Roger!

Panel 3

Yuba: The most hopeless development

Yuba: Is the one where Amatori bombs all over the place and we can’t do nothing about it

Panel 4

Yuba: Since just talking about firepower

Yuba: She’s an even harder opponent than Ninomiya-san

Yuba Squad Operation Room

Panel 1

Tonooka: But, it still

Tonooka: Ain’t decided that she can shoot, yeah?

Tonooka: She didn’t shoot anyone until recently, right?

Panel 2

Tonooka: Can you start shooting so quickly?

Yuba Squad Sniper

Tonooka Kazuto (16)

Panel 3

Fujimaru: Didn’t she turn Okudera into dust in the last match

Fujimaru: Deal a hit and you’ll gain some guts, that’s how it works



Yuba Squad Operator

Fujimaru Nono

Panel 4

Yuba: Either way, Tonookaa

Yuba: This time, you just aim for Amatori

Panel 5

Tonooka: Man-mark?

Yuba: That’s right

Panel 1

Yuba: We don’t need your support

Yuba: Whatever you do, don’t leave Amatori free

Panel 2

Tonooka: Roger!

Panel 3

Yuba: Obishimaa

Obishima: Yeah!

Yuba: What do you do if you face Kuga in this match?

Panel 4

Obishima: During the last bout

Obishima: He noticed I wasn’t fighting proactively and used a powerful move

Obishima: So this time I’ll push him and not stay on the defence!

Panel 5

Yuba: …does that work

Yuba: On the Kuga in your head?

Panel 1

Obishima: !

Panel 2

Obishima: …no

Obishima: If it’s Kuga-sempai…

Panel 3

Obishima: Having made an impression with the move from last time

Obishima: I think in the actual match he will have prepared a different move!

Panel 4

*smirk*

Yuba: So you do get it

Panel 5

Fujimaru: Get motivated, guys!

Fujimaru: If we fall out of the upper tier here, that Kanda’s gonna be like…

Panel 1

Fujimaru: Yuba squad really is hopeless without me

Panel 2

Fujimaru: …comment like that with a shit-eating look!

Tonooka: If it’s Kanda-san, he would be considerate and say something like that

Panel 3

Yuba: I’ve booked the eatery already

Yuba: For us it’s for remaining in the upper tier

Yuba: For Kanda it’s for his university acceptance

Panel 4

Yuba: WE’RE BOTH GONNA SUCCEED AND EAT GOOD, HEY!

Obishima & Tonooka: Yeah!

Panel 1

Ikoma: Right?

Panel 3

Ikoma: Alright, let’s fight, Ah thought

Ikoma: But Tachikawa was there first

Ikoma: And it didn’t seem like it was gonna end soon

Panel 4

Ikoma: So Ah got in the stage from the middle

Ikoma: And watched their fight super close

Mizukami: They’d get distracted

Oki: Such a surreal picture

Panel 1

Ikoma: Those two really are strong

Ikoma: Ah was moved

Panel 2

Sakurako: For now

Sakurako: Do they aim to join up with the remaining separated agents?

Panel 3

Ouji: The separated agent in Yuba squad is the sniper Tono-kun

Ouji: So they don’t need to force themselves to meet up

Panel 1

Ouji: Tono-kun was always a kid who moved independently a lot

Panel 2

Ouji: The one who’s in danger by himself is Ossam…

Sakurako: It is Yuba squad on the move first!

Konami: Looks like they want to take opponents down before they’ve met up

Panel 2

Sakurako: On the other hand, on the west side of the map

Sakurako: It seems Ninomiya squad and Tamakoma Second will be facing off 2 versus 2!

Panel 3

Kurauchi: Since on radar it looks like Agent Kuga is by himself

Panel 4

Kurauchi: If it’s Ninomiya-san, he’d try to catch him without hesitation

Panel 5

Osamu: Is it difficult for Hus to come over here…?

Osamu: …Kuga! Chika!

Osamu: We’ll go meet up with Hus from our end!

Yuuma: If they think we won’t fire back

Yuuma: They’ll easily chase after us

Panel 5

Yuuma: Is that alright? Osamu

Panel 1

Osamu: So a sudden shootout would be difficult, huh…

Obishima: Roger!

1. Regarding the commentators being two from Ouji squad, I wonder if it’s a hint that they’ve never reached A-rank? So far all commentators have been A-rank or used to be A-rank (or Osamu), so I wonder if Ouji and Kurauchi were chosen to come together because they don’t fit that criteria…or it’s all just a coincidence…

2. It’s a bit of a pity that we didn’t get to see the exhibition hall map before this season ends, but I suppose functionally it wouldn’t have been that different from Urban Area D except that there would have been even less places to hide if Chika unleashes her might.

3. So it didn’t take long before we got the 3 stages of Yuba squad (that we know of):

Captain Yuba and Operator Fujimaru with Ouji, Kurauchi, Kanda.

Then Ouji and Kurauchi leaves and the team becomes Captain Yuba and Operator Fujimaru with Kanda, Tonooka, Obishima.

And now finally Kanda has left leaving Captain Yuba and Operator Fujimaru with Tonooka and Obishima.

I guess we don’t know if there were any other member changes between Ouji and Kurauchi leaving and Tonooka and Obishima joining so this might not be all of it.

4. I can’t remember how I used to write Ikoma squad’s Kansai dialect…sorry…

5. More nicknames from Ouji: Tono-kun is a play on that being a homophone for the title ‘lord’ (the Japanese equivalent, that is). But mostly he just picks what sounds silly but still derivative of the original name.



6. Yes, the 'smoke signal’ is a pun since it’s literally smoking. But also it means beacon as well.
