“ | To us... Our purpose in the "Old Border" was to connect this world to the neighbors. | ” |
–Yuri Rindō about the Old Border, in Chapter 162[1] |
Old Border (旧 ボーダー, Kyū Bōdā ?) refers to Border before it went public about 4 and a half years before the story began.[2] which originally had 19 members.[3]
History[edit | edit source]
Before it became publicly-known[3], Border was a secret organization with the purpose of being an intermediary between 'Earth' and the Neighborhood.[4] To realize this goal, Border made an alliance with Aristera, Meson, and Dexio, where each vowed to protect each other in the case of an invasion by hostile forces.[5] After the fall of Aristera, Border gave refuge to its royal heirs Yōtarō Rindō and Ruka Shinoda, in turn gaining possession of its Mother Trigger.[6]
There were 19 original members of Old Border.[3] However, about five years before the start of the series[5], one of the allied nations was invaded by a hostile nation[5]; when Borders sent its forces to assist, 10 out of 19 members died, with some becoming Black Triggers.[5]
Some time after the incident, the surviving members separated themselves into two groups[7]: one group went on to establish the current HQ while the other stayed and established Tamakoma Branch.[7]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Following its separation, most of its grassroots were adopted by Tamakoma Branch.[7] This includes the building it used as headquarters[3], the emblem[4], and its founding principles.[7]
