Short summary
HQ's top teams, Tachikawa Squad, Kazama Squad, and Fuyushima Squad, had arrived from their away mission, and they were ordered by Commander Kido to secure the Black Trigger. On their way to Tamakoma, Jin showed up.

Long summary
At Border HQ, Border's Top Teams returns from their away mission and presented with four unknown triggers to Commander Kido. Kinuta commented that with the new Triggers, Border's engineering will progress even further. Kido then brief them that there currently is a new Black Trigger at Tamakoma Branch and ask Miwa Unit to explain in detail. Narasaka relates the details of Miwa Unit's encounter with Yūma, Jin's intervention, and Yūma's subsequent acceptance into Tamakoma Branch. Sōya however is not surprised by this information, recalling that Tamakoma's previous engineer was a Neighbor. Kido immediately orders them to retrieve the Black Trigger by using any means necessary to obtain it. Narasaka fills the group in on Yūma's daily schedule, and Tachikawa surprises everyone by saying they will attack tonight. Miwa cautions them to not underestimate Yūma, but his warning is brushed off, leaving Miwa to reflect on how he has never liked Tachikawa.

Back at Tamakoma, Chika's Trion level test reveals that she is at super A-Rank, or Black Trigger level. Both Chika and Yūma are praised by Reiji and Kirie, but Kyōsuke only says they should have hope for Osamu's future. When Kirie says they don't need weaklings at Tamakoma, Kyōsuke lies and says that Osamu called her cute, causing her to blush happily. Kyōsuke quickly retracts and says it was a lie, and Kirie pounds on Osamu in retaliation.

Elsewhere in the Forbidden Zone, the teams are speeding toward Tamakoma Branch. Again, Miwa thinks he has never liked Tachikawa. They pull up suddenly when Jin appears in front of them and casually asks where they are headed.
