Proof that all Border agents are either stupidly insane, insanely stupid or both - part 2 [ masterlist ]
Arashiyama Squad & Okudera+Koarai from Azuma Squad
Koarai: NO!- Okkun, you need to hear me out on this. Ken, this idea is definately plausible, right?
Ken: I genuienly dont know a single thing about Trion engineering, man. Why are you even asking me.
Okudera: Koala, do you even have ANY self preservation. That’s a crime, dude. Also should we even discuss this topic in—
Mitsuru: What are you guys talking about here?
Ken, sweating bullets: oh shit— HI MITSURU-SENPAI! We were just talk— talking about— about school stuff! Yeah, we were talking about our homeworks.
Ai: Seriously, how did you even surpass the PR training Netsuki sets up? At this point, I should make you go through that training again.
Jun: Now, now. No need to be that harsh, Kitora. Still, what's you guys was discussing about, I'm curious
Okudera: I actually don't remember what's the thing leading to our current topic. But we are discussing if we can use our trion to make stuff like furniture or– or money papers.. since Border R&D department definitely have the technology. I still think it won't be possible.
Koarai: Azuma told us some details about Neighbourhood’s life and we were discussing how useful trion technology if we integrate with our Earth technology, you know.
Okudera: A bit too useful in my opinion—
Jun: [Are we sure Koarai and Okudera doesn't know about Yuma's origin?]
Mitsuru: [Azuma wouldn't tell them without HQ’s permission]
Ken: [Pretty sure he didn't, because if he did, Koarai would never talk to me again for not telling him that]
Haruka, confused: [Still, what's the problem with their discussion? It's just not very PR friendly but there's nobody here except us]
Jun: [Osamu find out a while ago that Yuma's caretaker has been use trion to make dozens copies based on the only 10000 yen his dad brought during their travel. That stack of trion money is almost as high as the paperworks Shinoda has.]
Ken: WHAT
Okudera, midconversation: JESUS, What the fuck are you shouting at?
Ken: Uhhhh, nothing?
Koarai, deadpanned: You are right, Kitora-senpai. Ken definitely need to go through his PR training again
Ken: NO! PLEASE! JUN-SENPAI PLEASE SAVE ME.
Jun: I cannot help you escape this when even your friends agree, Ken.

opinions on the ninomiya squad + arashiyama squad dynamics since nino was a4 before dropping to b1
ninomiya squad.... pre-hato, you kind of have a squad that's all Serious People, and the levity pretty much just comes from inukai, but that's a dynamic that they all enjoy. hatohara makes a lot of it work because she's kind of the social buffer of the group the same way yuma is for tamakoma or miura for katori squad. they're all pretty chill with each other. dysfunctional but like simpsons dysfunctional, not actual dysfunctional.
post-hato, they're all desperately trying to pretend that they're normal people who are Dealing With This In A Normal And Well-Adjusted Way. no one like talks to each other so the squad splinters into the ninomiya faction and the inukai-tsuji faction. hiyami is a wild card who mostly sides with nino but can be counted on in a pinch. the fact that they have developed politics does not bode well for them, ngl. ninomiya has no chill about hatohara so they don't talk about her. very much not a fun time.
arashiyama squad is a bunch of the most deeply repressed people in border. out of the whole organization, they probably have the most pressure on them because they have this weird fucked-up ideal to live up to. each of them has an actual press team. kitora and ayatsuji have rules about how many times a week they can be seen in public wearing pants. the boys have theme colours and have to wear them constantly. all of them have forgotten what a "weekend" is. despite this they are each other's moments of respite; the performance continues for families, friends, but not for each other. the squad itself gives its members a sort of breathing room, a place where their lives are not constantly being micromanaged. they give each other little gifts, things that border would never approve of. it's a very "the most valuable parts of us are hidden" kind of squad. like the kind of friendship where you don't know the sort of story stuff, like you don't know that the other person dropped a jar on their foot when they were six or which teacher they had in sixth grade, but you know what sort of person they are beneath the front they put up. like that is the squad dynamic.
Rating Border Combatants’ Uniforms A-Rank Edition (Part 2):
Kusakabe Squad: A-Rank 004 (Right picture is for color reference)
Dreadful. The accent color is horrible. The red undershirt is no good. Saki, my love, were you attempting to punish the patriarchy with this one? Because you’re actually punishing my eyes. 3/10.
Arashiyama Squad: A-Rank 005
The color is perfect for the PR squad since red is a color associated with advertisement. It looks good on all of them. The sporty jackets are the kind of thing Jun would pick. Overall, it’s good. 8/10.
Kako Squad: A-Rank 006
This isn’t my favorite uniform, but it’s very Kako. She knows how to put an aesthetic together. I like the ways the girls’ uniforms differ a little. Like Futaba has the puffy sleeves and shorts while Kako’s sleeves are longer and she wears leggings. 7/10.
Miwa Squad: A-Rank 007
[I combed the anime and manga and could not find hide nor hair of a panel/screenshot that contained all four members of the squad. Also Kodera and Narasaka always have bagworm active so it’s hard to see their uniforms anyway.]
The lack of color is very Shuji. Yosuke’s modified uniform is very fitting for his laidback attitude. I like that their squad uses headphones instead of earpieces. It adds something. Other than that, it’s a little boring. 7/10.
Katagiri Squad: A-Rank 008
Why does this look like a chef’s uniform? I don’t hate it, though. It’s very simple, but not necessarily in a bad way. It’s like a 6.5/10
