Tamakoma Second vs. Kageura Squad vs. Azuma Squad vs. Suzunari First

Tamakoma Second vs. Kageura Squad vs. Azuma Squad vs. Suzunari First is a 1x3 Rank Battle that took place in Round 7, between Tamakoma Second, Kageura Squad, Azuma Squad and Suzunari First.

Background
Tōma claims that Chika can infact shoot people afterwards Osamu talks about how Suzunari First has gotten stronger and might of figured out a counter to the wire strategy.

Osamu then asks Usami on if he should add a new trigger to which she says there is not much point as his trigger is maxed out thanks to his low trion, Yuma could pick one up but he feels like a new trigger would make him screw up and Tamakoma-2 now has Hyuse.

Later that day Osamu is shown to be uneasy, but isn't sure what the cause is. All the Squads for this Round are shown to be preparing until March 1st the day the round begins.

Before the Round starts Tamakoma is talking to Hyuse and asking if he is nervous due to being his debut battle, however he shrugs it off and claims that they will win, Jin then asks Osamu what's up to which he confesses to his nervousness to which Jin tells him to not waiver

Summary
The battle begins with each Squad's sniper and Osamu all turning on Bagworm with Chika, Murakami, and Kitazoe all being spawned inside.

Yuitsuka begs the question of whether or not Suzunari will enter the mall, which Inukai tacks on how the mall is probably the anti-sniper measure afterwards Yuitsuka asks if setting the time to night is another measure which Arashiyama comments on saying the operators can counter that measure as they can turn on night vision and give visual support on top of that, all the snipers are experienced. However the operators would have to turn on and off the night vision between the dark and well-lit areas which would be more work on their part.

Cut to Usami telling Osamu that the other squads are moving to the mall and asking him whether or not Chika should move outside. Yuma then launches himself onto the mall's roof while Hyuse is moving on the ground at the same time, Osamu is telling the two to prioritize their meetup and can ignore any enemies they meet.

Kageura then goes to the bridge by making a Scorpion grappling hook, then pulling himself in. Afterwards he asks Kitazoe which floor he is on, He replies with on the 4th floor and moving up upwards, but mentions that a loner on a lower floor is coming to him tacking on how it might be Yūma or Murakami and how he is quaking in his boots. After Kageura tells him to stop chickening out. Kitazoe then asks Ema if he is coming to the roof as well which he says to start without him due to him running to get inside.

The solo person on the lower floor ended up being Murakami and so Kitazoe fires asteroid at him but Murakami dodges by stepping back and tells Kuruma mentioning that Kageura is probably at the top then back to Kitazoe saying he is going to bait Murakami. Cut to Kuruma saying anyone but Kageura then asks Taichi how he is doing. Taichi responds with how he is getting there and to wait a minute afterwards Kuruma tells Murakami that they will take on Kageura Squad.

The commenters then talk about how everyone is going towards the mall and ponders if that is Suzunari's Plan then mentions that Taichi is still on the first floor afterwards Okudera decides to mess with the operators by turning on and off bagworm. Murakami and Kuruma + Kitazoe and Kageura meet up and start a firefight on the 6th floor. Osamu hears the firefight and starts speeding up however he accidentally finds Okudera due to his bagworm stunt so the two start fighting while at the same time Murakami pulls out a Black Kogetsu.

A Flashback happens at the Suzunari Branch HQ talking about how they need a new strategy as they are working fine against the top B-rank group they found themselves outclassed in the last match.

They then mention that their new formation that focuses more on ranged attacks will be met with resistance eventually, so they need a new strategy so they would have the advantage compared to other Squads.

Taichi then suggests that they should poison the other Squads' operators (presumably with Kako's food) to which Kon says that could work but it is too messed up.

Kon then mentions that Suzunari can choose the map for the next make so they should make use of the environment, Kuruma then comments on this saying that yes, they should but the two squads they are facing have similar team builds so it would be tough, but Taichi chips in saying he has something he has been itching to try.

Kageura squad is fighting smart for once as they went inside a small restaurant inside the mall which allows Kageura to use Mantis but due to the small space Kuruma can't use his Full Attack Hound.

With Kuruma's permission, Taichi sets his plan into action, he flips the light switch, then Kon turns on Visual Support allowing Suzunari to see, but not Kageura Squad combine that with Murakami's Black Kogetsu, The Kageura-Kitazoe duo can't see the blade and are pushed back.

Hikari finally turns on Visual Support which made Kageura think they are on even ground again however Taichi and Kon do the reverse by turning off the lights making it so that Kageura and Kitazoe stuns the duo which allowed Murakami to almost hit Kageura's Trion Gland.

Kitazoe then asks Ema if he has a clear shot on Taichi, Ema replies with a definitive no and mentions how he is hiding under the radar, so Hikari then sends the coordinates to the Fusebox. Ema then takes the shot with Ibis but fails as Taichi planned ahead and placed a dual escudo which blocked Ema's Ibis.

Due to Taichi, Kitazoe shoots the lights so Suzunari lost their advantage in that room however, Murakami mentions that he would like to take down Kageura while they are still there. Yuitsuka then ponders about the duo's next move, Inukai mentions that Kitazoe would normally use Meteor and bust their way out, but due to Azuma using Bagworm they think he is still outside and are worried that they will be sniped when they go out.

Osamu, now missing an arm, is thinking about how the light trick almost killed him if not for Usami and that he needs to do something about the lights.

Kon warns Taichi that someone who just activated Bagworm is coming for him, He then tries crawling away only to be caught by a Double Escudo made by Hyuse who is along with Yūma.
