THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.

----------------------------------------

I'll do the summary in 2 hours but I need to drop this: Kakizaki was former Arashiyama squad- most likely the one replaced by kitora. Also, B-1, why so moe...



HQ:

- Sawamura reports that trion reactions are gone. The neighbors and their trion soldiers have retreated.

- However, Shinoda still considers the potential of them using stealth. So the ground teams will remain on gurd while the damaged agents return to the HQ,

- Netsuki thinks that the expedition ship is saved thanks to Jin's prediction, so he should be given special credit.

- Kinuta warns that the enemies' orbit will be in contact for almost 1 more month. It's too early to say the ship is protected.

- But, the fact that most of their trion soldiers are destroyed is a big win, Fuyushima argues. If they target the city next time, the teams can all sortie and handle them.

- Netsuki doesn't like Fuyushima's jinx by saying the city will be targeted.

- Sawamura says that the enemies can't do anything else other than attacking the city (at their current combat level). Also, they have done something like that earlier.

- Anyway, Jin'll have premonition if that will happen. But today is Border's victory, Fuyushima concludes.



Street

- Inukai and Yoneya are having fun with Koskero's slime.

- It seems that Miwa and Yoneya will go back to HQ as is so the slimes on their hands and feet can be analyzed.

- Arashiyama thanks the attackers for their work suppressing the ace trion soldiers.

- Ninomiya is surprised that Shuji (he's on first name basis with Miwa) managed to cooperate with Jin. Didn't he hate Tamakoma?

- As it turns out, the strategy was Miwa's operator's proposal so Miwa complied.

- Meanwhile, Inukai and Tsuji are passing Yoneya around.

- Kako wants to play to with Miwa-kun.

- Miwa rebuffs her, "Play with Yousuke instead"



HQ roof:

- Touma and Kodera thank Midorikawa for his support.

- Akane brags that Nasu sempai and Kumagai sempai defeated 1 neighbor. Taichi is impressed.



Street:

- Arafune wonders if they are done for the day.

- Most likely, but Reiji tells him not to let down his guard.



Galopoula ship

- Reggie is very depressed.

- Wen nags at him for targeting the civilians.

- Reggie mumbles that he only pretended to target the civilians.

- Wen wishes that the enemies also think that way.

- Koskero calms them. He apologizes to Reggie for pushing all the job of leading the trion soldiers. But their movements seem to be read, so it can't be helped that the attack crumbles. At least they managed to bail out with no harm with the new trigger.

- Rata wonders where the info was leaked. The leak was too precise for it to come from the Aftokrator prisoner.

- Wen thinks that the Aftokrator prisoner wanted to board their ship, so there's no reason for him to ally with Miden. Rata thinks, "that means...

- Meanwhile Yomi finishes analyzing the cause of Vasilissa's broken arm. It was attacked twice on the same spot. The first person (Tachikawa) damaged it, while the second person (Konami) hit the same spot again with precision.

- Rata thinks that such precision is impressive in the middle of the free for all...

- The enemies' ability is above Gatlin's expectations. Further, the enemies have bail out technology longer than them (so they are used to tactics that sacrifices their allies).

- Anyway, Wen reminds them that they can't abandon their mission. What to do next?

- Gatlin wants some time to think. There's still days until they are away from Miden's orbit. For now, let's rest.



Rank wars:

- Sakurako opens round 5 with high spirit and introduces the commentators, Tokieda sempai and Izumi sempai. It turns out that her team has just ranked up to mid B-rank this morning.

- Sakurako introduces the teams.

- Izumi comments that excluding T-2 that has just debuted, Katori team and Kakizaki team have not fought for a long time. Katori team dropped to mid B when T-2 climbed.

- Indeed, Sakurako explained, Katori team swapped with T-2 when T-2 climbed to upper B in round 3. In round 4, Katori team lost to Nasu team and is now B-9. The team is in losing momentum, but this is the time when the team which had stayed in upper B for 2 seasons shows its grit.

- Meanwhile, Kakizaki team lost to Arafune team in round 3 and dropped to lower B. But it returned to mid-B in round 4. It's now B-13. Can it repel its tendency of being overly cautious and rob the victory this time?

- Tokieda argues that there's nothing wrong with Kakizaki's team passiveness. During the large scale invasion, it's the only B-rank team with no member bailing out.

- Izumi in his usual lack of tact comments that Tokieda is nicely giving a defense of his inner circle.

- As it turns out Kakizaki was a member of early Arashiyama team.

- Tokieda admits that Kakizaki is his dear sempai.

- Sakurako continues to T-2. With 3 consecutive victories after debut, T-2 entered the upper rank. It's only black mark is the mere 1 point earned in round 4. Its weakness is the difficulty of getting point for everyone except Ace Kuga. Will they conquer today's match and make a comeback to upper rank?

- Tokieda promises T-2 will show something interesting.

- Izumi wonders if Tokieda means glasses-kun's new move.

- That's still a secret, Tokieda answers.



Spectator side?

- Jin brings Hyuse in just in time.

- Round 5 start.



Comments:

- Katori and Kakizaki teams are introduced to be jobbers.... hm, figures. This chapter explains why Kakizaki has a big age gap with the rest of his teams. Also, it's interesting that being overly cautious in rank wars is a no-no, while doing so in real battles is good.

- B-1 is monopolizing the moe factor... First Nino, then Inukai, and now Tsuji...

- I'm starting to wonder, why T-2 is so boring... B-2 has personalities, B-1 has moe factor, A-1 has Chuuni factor, A-2 has Touma, former A-1 and A-6 have Kako, even A-7 can stop being gloomy. Why can't T-2 join the fun side... Search your feelings, T-2, you will know you don't need to be gloomy all the time.

- Congrats Ebina team.

- Also, potential comeback by Galopoula. Well, I will still root for them, the underdog team. BBCode Modified by p-kun, Mar 16, 2016 7:10 AM
