Captain

Short Summary
In exchange for Chika being part of the away mission regardless of whether or not Tamakoma Second qualifies, Hyuse can join border.

However the Rank Battle season will be cut early so there will be no promotion test for A-ranks but thanks to Chika, B-ranks will be picked so another condition was added, for Tamakoma Second to join they must be B-rank #2 at least on top of that Hyuse must start from C-rank.

Due to the scheduling of the season, Hyuse's enlistment ceremony and Round 6 are on the same day so Tamakoma Second will fight that round without him.

Tamakoma watches the logs of their opponents then discuss them, Ikoma Squad has their own discussion while Ōji thinks about which map they will fight in.

Long Summary
Hyuse once again clarifies that he will not give any information that harms his master which extends to his country of Aftokrator.

Netsuki thinks that is ridiculous but Osamu replies with how Hyuse will cooperate as long as Afto isn't involved and mentions that during Galopoula's Invasion Hyuse defeated one of the invaders. Kinuta counters by saying they did see the footage but that raises the question of why Hyuse was even outside to which Director Rindo chuckles it off, Kido then ends it by saying that isn't good enough to convince them that Hyuse will cooperate.

Osamu saying that it shows off his battle prowess so it will be a boost however Karasawa mentions that only benefits Osamu and his team so how would his enlistment benefit border.

Netsuki backs up Karasawa but Shinoda asks Director Rindo on what his opinion is, which he lies and says that he wouldn't want to take Hyuse along as this away mission isn't a direct trip unlike the previous missions so they will need to make several stops for more trion so taking an outsider would be too much of a risk and asks Shinoda if he is right while calling him the leader for the next away mission.

Netsuki says that is an unusually logical opinion for him but Director Rindo claims that he is always logical. Netsuki continues and says taking a neighbor on board is absurd but Osamu counters by saying it is actually the opposite as Hyuse can act like a guide since the countries they will go to will be unknown. Kinuta butts in with how they have Enedrad as well as the map from Replica so they can make a route using those pieces of information which Osamu tells them that is not good enough as they don't know the situation for each country and he reminds Kinuta that he should know that with a small flashback of how enedrad claims that fieldwork is for small fry.

OSamu claims that he went to enedrad himself to ask again with another small flashback saying the same thing however Hyuse is curious what Osamu meant by enedrad himself. Osamu then claims that Hyuse can guide them, Hyuse butts in saying unless the country is extremely remote, he should know about it, Osamu continues with how having a guide would boost their chances of success and that would make Hyuse's cooperation guaranteed.

Shinoda understands as Hyuse wants to get to Aftokrator so he would have to cooperate to get back home during the away mission. Osamu confirms that and says the promise wouldn't be wanting help after reaching aftokator but instead he will help until they reach Afto so shouldn't that be a good enough reason to bring Hyuse.

Karasawa starts by saying the benefit might outweigh the risk, Shinoda agrees by saying it should be considered then Director Rindo says he agrees to the plan as well. Netsuki goes to Kinuta for help but neither of them can do much, Osamu thinks to him as he did everything that he planned last night and it seems to be working however everything is riding on Kido for whether or out he prioritizes his hate for neighbors or the benefits of having Hyuse.

Kido has a staredown with Yuma's Side Effect activating while at the same time he is wondering what Kido will say.

Kido says that as a special exception, Hyuse can join which shocks Netsuki but Yuma and Osamu are happy about this outcome with Osamu thanking Kido

Anime and Manga Differences

 * When Osamu was talking about the neighborhood it shows 3 different Neighbor countries however they use Liberi in the anime while in the manga it looks to be Galopoula.


 * When Enedrad is shown, in the anime it shows his plug while in the manga it is omitted.
 * Weirdly enough he is also unplugged.


 * Yuma has a visual indicator that he is using his Side Effect in the anime while in the manga there is none.

Error

 * Yutaka Kashio when shown doesn't have Kogetsu despite having it equipped in the manga and in his loadout.
