Well this is getting interesting.

New arc and we are introduced to some competition. It's always nice to see friendly competition and skills tested between certain users in this series. Nice way to portray the competitive atmosphere of course. So far, Yuuma is setting the bars high for the audience.

Chika and Kuga are now B-Rank Border Agents

I'm looking forward to see more of the B-Rank Wars.

It was nice to see Osamu stand up for himself.

Wow, Chika and Yuma are something else, I'm looking forward to seeing their skills as well as the skills of other squads during these B-rank wars
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Osamu should've dropped the mic after leaving the stage. Good foreshadowing of that arc.

I haven't read the manga, but I'm assuming this rank war will be much shorter than the previous. They're just steamrolling the competition.

Q&A and he's honest. The target was all towards him until the talk about going to the neighbor country. Mother understood his determination seeing this.

They need to worry about the girl's score before the B level war because it's not enough. Neighbor guy got it for her? lol @ that threesome getting proud because they survived.

B level war started and both of them surprised everyone by one member defeating each enemy team

Neighbor guy and megane girl in chibi form in explanation about the ranking in the war.

Next war next.

The rank war arc is still going on actually. Also don't judge all of B-Rank by the low ranked group.

Poor Netski, stared down by a injured Teenage boy. He got to see the steel in Osamu.

Osamu takes Border, (Publicly at least) in a new Direction. New Mission, rescue the Missng People and not just the 32 Agents, but those taken in the first invasion.

Liked how they moved Chika up to B-Rank and why. Nice first battle for the Rank Wars. Yuma wipes out entire Squads in meer seconds, while Chika does some demolition work.

The next battle will be interesting since they'll be facing established and experienced teams. Each team with a specialty in fighting.

Overall a good episode.

lol they have to be ranked up quickly, assuming Mikumo's team is selected and assuming they show the full Recovery Mission in the last 12episodes.

In Spoiler if somebody doesn't want to know this vague information.


Also for people that didn't notice, the next 2 teams already appeared in the Invasion arc.

Arafune squad, specially arafune, appeared fighting against Lamvanein(the guy that flew).
Arafune during the invasion in the anime:




Suwa squad appeared fighting against one of the first Rabbits(where Suwa was captured) and later against Enedra in the training Room.

Finally the anime caught up with the B-Rank Wars. I forgot about the battle between Tamakoma 2 (without Osamu), Yoshizato Squad and Mamiya Squad in the manga, maybe because the fight didn't last very long lol. I'm glad to see Kuga and Chika quickly working their way up on the B rankings. I can't wait to see the next couple battles though when they're against the Arafune and Suwa squads. Good episode.

Yuma and Chika were as OP as expected in the low-rank rounds. It'll be interesting to see how things go next week though, when Osamu will join the action and they'll be up against stronger teams that had a good showing against black trigger users earlier.

Wonder if Osamu and Chika will do the team-up thing again, or if Osamu will try to hang back and strategise or go for the front lines.

Nice episode again and the AO scenes feel natural rather than fillerish. Good job TOEI.......

The episode showed how disgusting and hypocritical reporters can be.........good job Osamu and Kido.

Next team battle should be pretty good...........looking forward to it.

I am really happy that Osamu, stood up to those damn journalists. It was a dick move by border to create a scapegoat, although it's not like this doesn't happen in the real world. I am really looking forward to the next battles, because the next teams will be really strong, especially Suwa squad. I thought they will get a new coordinator especially for them, but I am cool either way :D.

Osamu rekt the reporters while Yuuma and Chika rekt their opponents in the B-Rank Wars.
But their next opponents, Arafune Squad and Suwa Squad, are much more powerful because we've seen what they could do during the invasion.
I hope it'll be epic as fuck.

I wonder how they plan to animate the remaining 12 episodes? Here I was thinking they would do a long arc based on the low B-rank groups and then end the season before they reach the higher end but I guess the flow is a lot quicker than I thought.

Considering the events in the manga:

That was another awesome episode, Chika and Yuma re OP not that I was expecting any of the lower ranking teams to get a hit off of them. The way Osamu talked to the reporters and what his mother told him after was really cool too. I'm looking forward to rest of this arc!

Also, wasn't that girl also the operator for the other squad? Can she do two squads at once?

Tamakoma 1 is not allowed to enter the rank wars due their Tamakoma triggers, so for the B rank war it's fine. I could see that becoming a problem if another invasion happens as I doubt Usami is able to handle two teams at once, even she should hit her limit there.

If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

They are flying through the ranks and are already rank 12 :X They'll be rank 1 in no time if this keeps up, but it wouldn't be much of a competition if it did.

Why did they let him speak anyway or even bring him to there, they know he is an honest idiot who knows nothing but his hero complex? Now they have to tip their hand in revealing the expeditionary missions. Or maybe that was part of the plan too?

Well the initial B-rank battles were expected, I guess it's what tricks the others teams will show that will make it interesting.

And it has begun! With Shiori as their operator, this will be easy, but Yuma is the only big threat. I really cant wait to see the fight against the A rank team, that's going to be the big highlight in this arc.

It's weird how Shinoda and the Tamakoma leader didnt react in any way to what they did, shouldn't they be more angry or something like that?

I'm so proud of Osamu Character growth, he started off at humble begins with very low trion and no confidence. Thanks to Kuga he has really changed into an intelligent young man, who is fully aware of his strengths and weakness and is capable of utilizing his abilities to achieve the best result in any situation...
