The Attack

Short Summary
Galopoula's invasion finally starts.

Long Summary
Reghi and Rata of Galopoula talk to each other about the invasion with Rata saying that Rhodokhroun doesn't have enough men to send out so they are sending out Dogs to which Reghi claiming that the nation is taking the easy way out but Rata counters with how they are also sending Idras on top of that the entire team were given new triggers, Reghi doesn't comment about the Idras however he shows his disgust for the new triggers.

the duo then climb down to see the rest of their teammates, Gatlin then does one last review of the plan: Afto orders the Galo away squad to stall meeden so they have to do enough damage to make it so border can't go to Afto but the away squad get to decided the method, so Gatlin chose to attack the border base.


 * Reghi comments on the amount of people they have saying that it is too little and that attacking the city would be a better idea.


 * Rata asks if that means they are not going after their trigger users.


 * Gatlin confirms that it will only be an attack on the base and not their people.
 * Wen Sō then asks if that means they are not capturing "baby birds"
 * Gatlin says yes to this question.
 * Koskero then asks gatlin the simple question of why as it would stall them since they would be weaker
 * Reghi backs him up saying afto captured 20-30 of them and that the mission wouldn't be worth it without loot.
 * Gatlin says that if they target citizens, they would switch their goal from afto to galo even then galo is closer to meeden then they are to afto
 * Koskero asks if Afto's true goal was to get meeden to attack galo.
 * Gatlin answers by saying: most likely.
 * Reghi then shows his disgust for Afto


 * Gatlin says meeden fought Afto's best including 4 black trigger users and even if it was their home turf the fact that they were able to drive them away was still nothing to scoff so Galo doesn't need heat from them just because afto wants them to.


 * Reghi proudly says that it doesn't matter if meeden attacks them.
 * Koskero steps in saying to think about the future as their improvement rate is insanely high so it might not take that long for them to caught up to galo, Wen So backs Koskero up by adding that they have too many enemies for their small country anyways.


 * Rata then asks, we want to stall them but not anger them so we are destorying their base.
 * Gatlin says yes, and that they will focus on their "military installation" and to stop their force.

Gatlin now goes into specifics, after yomi activates a hologram and thanks to afto they talk about what he knows: there are 40-50 confirmed activate soldier with a total estimated to be 2-3 times that amount + multiple "baby birds" however they shouldn't be threats and lastly they have 1 or 3 black triggers to which Reghi complains about how there is a major difference between 1 or 3 however Wen tells him to complain to afto if he has any issues.

Yomi now starts talking about their troops: they have 6 members on board with 13 Marmods and 10 Banders so koskero comments that without Rhodokhroun it will be tough, Reghi backs him by asking why Rhodo is skipping out on them to which gatlin tells reghi they are not. Yomi updates the hologram to show a long list and gatlin says they sent 200 dogs and 95 idras so they can't complain, Koskero is amazed at the number while wen so comments that they are small but to send so many was impressive and Rata finishes it off by saying with how many pawns they have it is possible to make it work.

Gatlin then confirms one last time, they will investage meeden to confirm the data they have then after Rhodo's trion soldiers arrive they will attack.

Hyuse is in his room with a 3D map of the neighbor that shows Galo and Rhodo are close to meeden and asks if it was Afto's doing and has an idea before getting interrupted by Yotaro walking in with Raijinmaru, yotaro then asks hyuse what he is doing with the lights off to which Hyuse says he was just thinking. Yotaro then tells hyuse that he will eventually get home.

meanwhile Katori Squad is fighting 3 Marmods and a Bander sent by Galo: with Miura blocking one of the Marmod's attacks then slashing the eye in one go, Wakamura shoots another one of them in the eye killing it while Katori jumps off the roof and shoots at the last Marmod but fails to kill it but kills the Bander with one Scorpion slash and finishes the last Marmod off with another slash to the eye.

Katori then starts complaining that they have to do defense duty before a Rank Battle, Miura agrees with this but Wakamura counters by saying it happens to every squad and that before Katori should start complaining she should actually watch the logs.

Katori mentioned how their opponents for the up-coming round are kakizaki squad and "Tamakoma's middle schoolers" and between the two, kakizaki they haven't had much trouble while Tamakoma dropped immediately after hitting the top group so they shouldn't have much trouble. Wakamura tells them that it has been a while since they have fought kakizaki squad and with Tamakoma, Kako tried to recuit their ace. Katori tries to fight back by asking Wakamura if he is nagging her because she wasn't recruited which Wakamura tells her to just stop slacking off with Miura trying to stop the duo from fighting. Hana says that the trio are on duty so they are be taking it seriously, Wakamura then blames katori for the scolding while Miura is once again trying to stop the infighting while walking away.

From the corpse of the Bander, Dog number 9 comes out and the away team starts their reconnaissance. koskero comments that meeden's soldiers are skilled however wen says if that is all they have then they won't stand a choice, Koskero backs her up by saying they were probably average as yesterday's Spear guy was better. reghi tells yomi to keep it still as it is making him dizzy.

Yomi then comments that he has disabled the monitoring trigger however there are cameras, gatlin responds with how it will be difficult to sneak in. Koskero comments on how they are being cautious and Reghi asks if Afto leaked any info.

after tracking the trion inside the border base they found their target in the basement, Rata then says they could force their way in thanks in part of their new triggers to which wen agrees. Gatlin then asks yomi if the trion soldiers are ready which yomi replies with a yes and gatlin is happy about that, He then says after they change shifts at sunset they will go and attack border's away ship.

border's base at night comes in view and two things are happening, Amo and Shinoda are watching a screen that is presumably a radar or is connected to a camera while Jin, Tachikawa, and Konami are playing an unknown card game, Tachikawa is mocking Konami for not picking but Jin's Foresight side effect activates after he suddenly zones out realizing that Galo is ready to attack, Konami notices Jin's zone out and asks what's wrong. Jin tells the card game duo that the enemy is coming to attack to which Tachikawa was happy about. Jin then tells shinoda the same news and to do pattern A, Shinoda acknowledges this and tells jin he will follow through for his part of the plan, Tachikawa gets up and stretches saying that pattern A is HQ defense then leaves. Jin tells Konami to stick with Tachikawa, Konami asks him why, Jin replies with how he saw a future where Tachikawa gets split in half which shocks konami, Jin contiues on by saying the enemy is tougher than they expected.

Galo now opening a giant gate in the forbidden zone sends out a horde of idras, Sawamura says the gate is on the radar with a distance of 400 northeast with multiple readings and claims it must be the invasion so Fuyushima sends the snipers up the roof in order to counter the trion soldiers. Sawamura then continues on by saying there are 30 minutes until the current round starts with these squads competing, Azuma Squad, Kageura Squad, and Yuba Squad for top while Tamakoma Second, Katori Squad and Kakizaki Squad are fighting in the middle group and if they continue the matches they can't join the fight, Shinoda says that is fine as Jin's prediction is that it is unlikely that galo will attack the agents however if they do attack the agents then they will stop the matches and the 6 squads will join the blitz with azuma taking charge. He also tells sawamura to inform mall security (Which seems to be Kazama squad) and the two commentators for the middle match and incase of a faint send one squad west and one squad east and everyone else goes northeast.

Anime and Manga Differences

 * As these scenes were already adapted in the previous episode, Osamu's last visits to Arashiyama and Tachikawa Squads' operation rooms before round 5 and Yūma's meeting with Kako, Kakizaki and Kageura are left out of this one.
 * The scene where Hyuse is using his Holographic Projector is different, in the manga it happens immediately after Gatlin says he will go over the mission one last time due to Chapter different, while in the anime it happens after the review in order to keep the flow
 * When they were taking about trion mapping, in the manga they have done it for 3 days while in the anime there was no said timeframe.
 * The anime also adds short scenes of Ikoma Squad and Ōji Squad, whose presence was confirmed beforehand by a Volume 21 Extra.
 * Kōji Oki despite being a sniper was shown right by his squad members with no bagworm or sniper trigger as if he was a shooter
