Tamakoma Second 21

Short Summary
The four different teams discuss their respective strategies for the upcoming Rank Battle.

Long Summary
Osamu decides to not use any wire formations since the tall buildings make them disadvantageous, the other teams have snipers, and it would be a predictable strategy because of their prior use of wires. He orders Hyuse to pretend that he can only use Kogetsu, and then surprise opponents with a Viper attack. He orders Chika to stay outside the building and then destroy it when necessary.

Kageura and Kitazoe are confident in their victory, and Ema declares that he will provide backup for his teammates.

Okudera and Koarai wonder why Suzunari First chose Urban Area D considering that it only mitigates the snipers' abilities. Koarai argues that it would be better to get as many points in the beginning before the groups begin reuniting. Because of Hyuse's unknown nature, they decide to use Asteroid and Meteor on the map. Azuma suggests that they use the operator's information to pressure the other groups.

Kuruma orders his team to fight in narrow areas wherever possible. He orders Betsuyaku to go to a certain place, as Betsuyaku has a plan.

The groups teleport into the map, which is at nighttime.
