- Strategy Rooms
- Old Border
Headquarters (本部, Honbu ?) is the main facility of Border, run by Masamune Kido.[1][2]
Overview[edit | edit source]
The base has a rather complex layout, as it can be customized as needed due to their possession of a Mother Trigger.[3] This is seen most of all by Kinuta reinforcing the walls after Chika fired through the wall with Ibis.[4] Corridors connect adjoining rooms large and small[5], including the Strategy Rooms, the Holo-Display room, the Sniper Range, and more.
Since Izuho brings her cat in there[6] and Yōtarō brings Raijinmaru[7], it's clear that animals are allowed in the building.
Rank Wars Rooms[edit | edit source]
Solo Rank Wars Booths[edit | edit source]
Used by various agents of all ranks[8][9], these virtual simulation rooms allow a safe space to train and refine an agent's skills.[10] Hyuse complimented the technology, suggesting it's Border-unique; or at least, Aftokrator does not have it.[10] Booths can be accessed through a Common room[11] featuring large screens tallying the day's match-up's[12][13]. as well as showing which rooms are in use.[11]
Spectator Halls[edit | edit source]
There are Spectator Halls[14] for B-Rank Wars which feature a screen which shows what's happening in various parts of the match.[15]
Holo Display Room[edit | edit source]
The room seen when the higher-ups meet with Yuma about information on the Neighborhood[16], where they have a holographic projection of the map of the Neighborhood.[17] It is currently unknown if they ever use the projection for anything else, but it's set up so that there are rows of seats on three sides, with the holo projector in the center.[17] Due to Replica's update[18], it houses a great deal of information (with Kinuta citing the update as 30 away missions worth of data[19]) gathered by Yūgo Kuga.[20]
Training[edit | edit source]
Sniper Range[edit | edit source]
Considered the largest room in the base at 360 meters long[15][21], and 10 floors high.[21] It is the area where Snipers of all ranks train, and for C-Rank Trainees, they can be promoted if they manage to stay in the top 15% for three weeks in a row.[22] It is also possible to change the terrain of the room.[15]
Training Rooms[edit | edit source]
This is the room where Trainees go for their enlistment guidance[15][23], as well as combat training and mock battles for official agents.[15][24] There is a simulation battle mode that can turn on[25][23] which simulates Trion so agents can use triggers without their Trion being used up.[26][23]
Top Brass[edit | edit source]
Meeting Room[edit | edit source]
This is the room where the Top Brass gather everyday to discuss important agendas[27], or when requested by border agents.[28]
HQ War Room[edit | edit source]
This is the room where the Top Brass are at during Invasions (see: Second Large-Scale Invasion[29], and Galopoula's Invasion[30]) which has a monitor which show the situation in Mikado City, and what is happening between squads during combat[27], which helps the Top Brass issue appropriate commands.[27] additionally there are computers Sawamura can use[30], which it has been shown using Radar functions.[30]
Defense Facilities[edit | edit source]
There are different Defense related weapons around HQ, and in the forbidden zone[27], which range from Cannons on HQ's rooftop for air battles[27][31], to traps to prevent invasions into the town.[27] There is also traps inside the base for when invaders get inside[32]
Misc[edit | edit source]
Lounge[edit | edit source]
With tables, and chairs[15][33] it is a place where Border Agents can relax[15], or bringing their tablets to work out plans for Rank Wars.[15][33]
Secret Channel[edit | edit source]
Mikado City has multiple of these passages exclusive to Border Agents[15] Once an agent's trigger has been authenticated[15], the entrance will open which is the shortest path to HQ.[15]
R&D Department[edit | edit source]
The area Kinuta manages - researchers research technology from the Neighborhood[15] as well as develop new weapons.[15] it is also the researchers who reversed the cubeification of border agents.[15][34]
Cafeteria[edit | edit source]
There is a big cafeteria with cheap prices[35], the menu includes: A-rank set (a mystery set of toasted mochi udon and croquettes)[35], A-rank set meal (a mystery set meal of sashimi rice and mapo tofu)[35], A-rank capricious fried rice (fried rice with different ingredients depending on the day).[35]
Trivia[edit | edit source]

- Mini-Replica left behind on Earth is currently kept in the R&D department at HQ for analysis.[37]
- There is a convience store on the first floor[38] which was used by Katagiri Squad[38][39]

- There is an area which houses Border Agents and Staff.[40]
- Kazuto Tonooka is a known agent who lives in this area.[41]
- There are delivery tunnels that run from the base's underground area to downtown Mikado City.[42] while stuff like the water and sewage system were drawn from lines that were used in the now forbidden zone.[42]
- Conversations inside the training rooms, and during rank wars can't be heard from the outside.[43]

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Arashiyama said "there is no running out of trion in the training rooms", but what is going on with the trion in training rooms?
A: The "Virtual Battle Mode" of places like training rooms reproduce the movement of trion into computer data, in short it is like fighting inside a game and actual trion is not used up. It is also possible to fiddle with the variables of the data and reproduce experimental conditions. With this technology, the efficiency of Border's battle training increased rapidly. In conclusion, Kinuta is amazing.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: What happens if you Bail Out inside Border HQ? Do you fly outside first and then fly back to HQ?

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Where is the chibi-Replica left behind in this world currently located? Does Yūma keep it on his person, is it lovingly displayed in his room, is it carefully stored away, or is it perhaps being kept somewhere for the sake of research...... Please tell us!
A: Currently, it is being kept in the R&D department at HQ for further analysis. If Yūma were to go on the away mission, he would probably bring it with him during that time.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Narasaka and Kodera had their houses destroyed, but did Border or the government provide them with money to build new homes?
A: Narasaka and Kodera are living in temporary residences constructed by Border and Mikado City. There is also an accommodation area within the HQ base that agents and employees can lodge in whenever they want, as well as other measures such as the city buying up houses of the townspeople who have moved from Mikado City and empty apartment rooms and then renting them out cheaply to the townspeople who have lost their houses.

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: What are the infrastructures and essential utilities needed for everyday life, such as the replenishment of vending machine drinks, water and sewage services and so on, like for Border HQ?
A: There are delivery tunnels that run from downtown, quite far from the base, right to the base's underground area, and goods are carried in from there. Water and sewage systems, electricity, gas, and so on are drawn from the lines that were used in what is now the Hazard Zone in coordination with Mikado City.
