[02:00] GirlA
    No, it's true!
[02:02] GirlA
    If you make a wish under the clock
    tower at the Central Cemetery,
[02:06] GirlA
    you can turn back time!
[02:08] GirlB
    That's just an urban legend, isn't it?
[02:11] GirlC
    I'd love to turn back time.
[02:12] GirlC
    I've gained weight lately.
[02:14] GirlD
    I wonder if I could get
    back with my ex-boyfriend.
[02:17] Koyuki
    Come on, that can't really be true.
[02:20] GirlC
    Jeez, Koyuki, why do you have
    to say things like that?
[02:23] GirlC
    Have you no sense of romanticism?
[02:25] Koyuki
    Of course I do, but seriously,
[02:27] Koyuki
    you know it's not possible to turn back time.
[02:30] GirlD
    We know, but it doesn't
    hurt to dream a little!
[02:35] Koyuki
    Dreams are fine,
[02:37] Koyuki
    but right now, we need to work
    on our graduation surprise. Right?
[02:41] Koyuki
    We'll be singing for our
    families and teachers.
[02:44] Koyuki
    Leave the accompaniment to me.
[02:46] GirlA
    Wow... It's all worked out.
    Even the program and our positions!
[02:50] GirlC
    You're good, Koyuki!
[02:52] Koyuki
    Let's all work hard.
[02:53] Koyuki
    We need to express our gratitude to
    the people who are precious to us.
[02:57] GirlB
    My father's going to cry when he hears this.
[03:03] Koyuki
    And I bet my brother will be so
    overwhelmed that he cries his eyes out!
[03:11] Koyuki
    I'll go let Ms. Emily know.
[03:19] GirlA
    Hey, isn't Koyuki's brother...
[03:23] GirlB
    Yeah. They were the only two
    members of their family.
[03:29] Vice
    Ms. Emily.
[03:31] Vice
    Everyone's talking about how you
    suddenly look much younger these days.
[03:37] Vice
    Even the head office
    wouldn't recognize you now.
[03:41] Vice
    Have you performed some
    sort of magic recently?
[03:45] Vice
    Perhaps what they call
    "turning back time," for example?
[03:48] Emily
    Please refrain from speaking of matters
    unrelated to work, Vice Principal.
[03:53] Vice
    Oh, dear. My apologies.
[03:59] Emily
    Do you need something, Koyuki?
[04:02] Koyuki
    Yes, actually.
[04:06] GirlC
    But you know, she should
    want to turn back time
[04:12] GirlC
    more than any of us.
[04:19] Koyuki
    Brother...
[04:32] Koyuki
    Are you all alone, too?
[04:36] Koyuki
    You know, I once had an older brother.
[04:42] Koyuki
    But... he's gone now.
[04:49] (Flashback) Brother
    Koyuki!
[04:53] (Flashback) Koyuki
    Brother!
[04:58] (Flashback) Koyuki
    Oh, my violin!
[05:03] (Flashback) Brother
    Koyuki!
[05:14] Koyuki
    It was all...
[05:16] Koyuki
    ...my fault.
[05:24] Koyuki
    If only the legend about
    the clock tower were true.
[05:28] Koyuki
    Then I could see you again, and...
[05:46] Koyuki
    Wh-What? What was that?
[05:49] Kiri
    You can't run.
[05:51] Koyuki
    Huh?
[05:56] Koyuki
    What is this thing?
[05:58] Koyuki
    A monster?
[05:59] Koyuki
    What's that? A katana?
[06:06] Kiri
    If you think you've escaped,
    you're gravely mistaken.
[06:09] Kiri
    Victor is waiting just up ahead.
[06:11] Kiri
    Any moment now, I'll hear your dying screams.
[06:17] Kiri
    Any moment now, I'll hear your dying screams.
[06:23] Kiri
    Any moment now—
[06:24] Koyuki
    Um...
[06:25] LadyA
    Aw, leaving already?
[06:27] LadyB
    Stay a little longer, Victor!
[06:30] Victo
    I can't do that.
[06:32] LadyC
    Promise you'll come again, okay?
[06:34] Victo
    Sure.
[06:35] Victo
    And if I break my promise,
[06:37] Victo
    Kiri over there...
[06:41] Victo
    will eat pasta through his nose.
[06:43] Victo
    Why me?!
[06:46] Kiri
    Our plan was to use a pincer attack!
[06:49] Kiri
    Why are you goofing around here?
[06:51] Kiri
    What if that Horologue was the one
    we're seeking vengeance against?!
[06:54] Victo
    Kiri...
[06:56] Victo
    Stiffs like you have no
    chance of ever getting married.
[06:59] Kiri
    There's no way a prime
    specimen like me won't—
[07:02] Kiri
    Wait, forget that, Victor!
[07:05] Kiri
    Are you aware of the position you're in?!
[07:07] Victo
    Behind you.
[07:09] Kiri
    Don't change the subject!
[07:13] Koyuki
    Um...
[07:31] Kiri
    You're... Koyuki, right?
[07:33] Kiri
    We're, um... actors, you see.
[07:42] Kiri
    We're here to film a movie,
    and what you saw before was just...
[07:45] Kiri
    A special effect!
[07:47] Kiri
    An elite Hllywood film crew was
    milling around behind us.
[07:51] Kiri
    They've all left by now, though.
[07:52] Dancer
    You're an actor, Victor?
[07:55] Dancer
    You said before that you
    were a bounty hunter.
[07:56] Kiri
    I-It's a movie about a bounty hunter!
[08:00] Dancer
    Oh, I see!
[08:03] Victo
    Victor Putin's journal, February 15th.
[08:06] Victo
    My brother, Kiri Putin, just lied
    for the first time in his life.
[08:10] Victo
    His acting sucks,
[08:11] Victo
    but his first step toward breaking free of
    his serious nature must be commemorated.
[08:16] Kiri
    You piece of...
[08:19] Victo
    Well, I can't help it.
[08:21] Victo
    I forget things if I don't
    write them in my journal.
[08:24] Koyuki
    Actors? Your brother?
[08:26] Koyuki
    What's really the truth here?
[08:28] Victo
    The truth is always within
    your heart, my lady.
[08:34] Kiri
    Cut it out, you lecherous geezer!
[08:37] Victo
    Was "geezer" really necessary?
[08:39] Victo
    At least call me a lecherous young man
     or an erotic boy or something!
[08:42] Dancer
    That is true.
[08:43] Kiri
    "Geezer" is perfectly appropriate for him!
[08:45] Kiri
    Despite his looks, he's a
    geezer right to the core!
[08:48] Dancers
    That's also true.
[08:52] Koyuki
    It's so nice to have a brother.
[08:55] Koyuki
    I envy you.
[08:58] Koyuki
    If only the legend about
    the clock tower were true,
[09:02] Koyuki
    my brother would also...
[09:03] Kiri
    You believe in that nonsense?
[09:06] Kiri
    Those who have died can never return.
[09:08] Koyuki
    That—
[09:09] Dancer
    Hey, that was harsh!
[09:10] Dancer
    Wasn't there some other way to say that?
[09:13] Victo
    I'll tell you the truth.
[09:14] Victo
    The legend about the clock tower is true.
[09:17] Victo
    Many people have used its power
    to travel back to the past.
[09:22] Victo
    Yes, in fact, we are—
[09:28] Kiri
    Victor, my dear brother,
    look at the time! We must go!
[09:33] Kiri
    Well, thank you, ladies!
[09:34] Kiri
    And Koyuki, forget about your brother!
[09:37] Kiri
    Don't think about him! Understand?
[09:39] Kiri
    Farewell!
[09:53] Kiri
    For the love of...
[09:55] Kiri
    Are you a child?!
[09:56] Victo
    I'm Victor Putin, five years old
    and prettier than a flower!
[10:00] Kiri
    And it wasn't just today!
[10:02] Kiri
    How many times must you hold me back?
[10:04] Kiri
    Are you doing this on purpose?!
[10:07] Victo
    Perhaps.
[10:08] Kiri
    What?!
[10:10] Kiri
    You even tried to tell Koyuki the
    truth about the legend, didn't you?
[10:14] Kiri
    What if she had really believed you?
[10:16] Kiri
    Haven't you been more affected than anyone
[10:19] Kiri
    by the fact that the only
    thing that attracts Horologues
[10:21] Kiri
    is the desire born from human regret?
[10:24] Victo
    So if you look at it differently, isn't this
    really a chance to attract Horologues?
[10:30] Kiri
    It's too late once that girl
    is exposed to danger!
[10:34] Victo
    Kiri, you think that if we
    warn her in the strongest terms,
[10:38] Victo
    we can change her mind, don't you?
[10:42] Victo
    But someone won't stop thinking
    just because you said they must,
[10:47] Victo
    nor will they forget just because
    they were told they must.
[10:50] Victo
    It's not that simple.
[10:53] Victo
    I'm willing to bet on it.
[10:55] Victo
    If we don't force reality upon that girl,
[10:58] Victo
    it'll be impossible to erase her desire.
[11:01] Kiri
    Reality...
SIGN    March 1    10:28
[11:07] Koyuki
    As we graduate today,
    we'd like to express our gratitude
[11:11] Koyuki
    to all of you with this song.
[11:46] Koyuki
    All of my friends' parents, and all*
    of our teachers, were overjoyed.
[11:53] Koyuki
    So were you, right, Brother?
[12:05] (Flashback) Victo
    I'll tell you the truth.
[12:07] (Flashback) Victo
    The legend about the clock tower is true.
[12:12] Koyuki
    The address on the card
    should be around here.
[12:20] Koyuki
    Ms. Emily?
[12:24] Koyuki
    It couldn't be.
[12:34] Koyuki
    That legend really is true, isn't it,
[12:38] Koyuki
    Victor?!
[12:40] Victo
    Victor Putin's journal, March 1st.
[12:43] Victo
    The foolish little girl gave in to
    temptation and came straight to me.
[12:48] Koyuki
    Tell me the truth about the legend!
[12:52] Victo
    If you make a wish under the clock tower
    at midnight on the night of a full moon,
[12:56] Victo
    time will be turned back.
[13:02] Victo
    Care to try it?
[13:05] Koyuki
    Make time...
[13:09] Koyuki
    turn back!
[13:11] Koyuki
    Turn it back to when my
    brother was still alive!
[13:31] Horologue
    Time... Give me time.
[13:36] Koyuki
    Even so,
[13:39] Koyuki
    I want
[13:41] Koyuki
    my brother
[13:43] Koyuki
    to come back to me!
[13:59] Koyuki
    Kiri?
[14:00] Kiri
    You...
[14:03] Kiri
    idiot!
[14:08] Kiri
    How many times must I tell you not
    to involve ordinary citizens in this?
[14:11] Kiri
    What do you think would have happened
    if I hadn't gotten here in time?!
[14:14] Victo
    I wouldn't have landed on my butt.
[14:16] Kiri
    Do you even know the meaning
    of the word "remorse"?!
[14:20] Kiri
    Stay back, Koyuki.
[14:25] Kiri
    Koyuki!
[14:27] Koyuki
    Don't stop me!
[14:28] Koyuki
    You guys don't understand my pain!
[14:31] Koyuki
    Because both of you brothers are alive!
[14:34] Koyuki
    If it'll bring my brother back to life,
[14:36] Koyuki
    I don't care if that thing
    is a demon or anything else!
[14:40] Victo
    Didn't I tell you?
[14:42] Victo
    Human desire is not so easily erased.
[14:48] Emily
    Give it back...
[14:49] Emily
    Give my time back to me!
[14:55] Koyuki
    Ms. Emily?
[14:58] Victo
    No! Get away from that!
[15:02] Horologue
    Time...
[15:19] Victo
    This is the truth of the legend.
[15:21] Victo
    These things are demons called Horologues.
[15:24] Victo
    They appear to grant the wishes of
    people who want to return to the past,
[15:28] Victo
    but in truth, they're only
    eating humans' time.
[15:32] Victo
    When a human is bitten by a Horologue,
[15:34] Victo
    their time is drained away,
    and they return to nothingness.
[15:37] Victo
    This is what it means to
    make a contract with them.
[15:47] Kiri
    Victor!
[15:48] Kiri
    Oath of Time, activate!
SIGN    Slow Down
[16:00] Victo
    Slow Down!
[16:17] Koyuki
    Time stopped.
[16:19] Victo
    No, to be precise, I didn't stop it.
[16:24] Kiri
    Victor is only using the cards
[16:25] Kiri
    to reduce an object's passage
    through time to its slowest possible speed.
[16:30] Koyuki
    Just what are you guys?
[16:32] Victo
    We control time using this, the Oath of Time,
[16:36] Victo
    to battle the Horologues,
    demons that devour humans' time.
[16:44] Victo
    We are Chronos Rulers.
[16:46] Koyuki
    Chronos Rulers?
[16:50] Victo
    But all we can really control
    is the speed of time.
[16:54] Victo
    We can't know the future
    or return to the past.
[16:57] Victo
    Give up on your brother.
[16:59] Koyuki
    I can't give up on him!
[17:01] Koyuki
    He was the only family I had, and I lost him!
[17:04] Koyuki
    Do you have any idea how
    I feel?! You can't—
[17:07] Kiri
    We do.
[17:10] Kiri
    Victor let our mother die.
[17:13] Kiri
    In his regret, he wished to change the past.
[17:16] Kiri
    His regret brought a Horologue to us.
[17:19] Victo
    Take a good look.
[17:21] Victo
    This is what true loss looks like.
[17:26] Kiri
    The Oath of Time stops the flow of
    Victor's own time from within him.
[17:31] Kiri
    It was the only way.
[17:33] Victo
    Being bitten by a Horologue
[17:36] Victo
    doesn't just make you younger.
[17:38] Victo
    Your memories disappear, too.
[17:40] Victo
    There's so much I don't remember anymore.
[17:44] Koyuki
    No...

    Oath of Time, activate!
SIGN    Oath
[17:57] Victo
    Kiri, you protect Koyuki
[18:00] Victo
    with that Teenage Fantasy Sword of yours!
[18:01] Kiri
    Don't call it weird names!

    Slow Down!
SIGN    Slow Down

SIGN    Slow Down
[18:31] Koyuki

[18:33] Victo
    You're stronger than I thought.
[18:41] Victo
    That's the way!
[18:42] Koyuki
    Why?
[18:44] Koyuki
    He's so badly hurt.
[18:46] Victo
    We may be able to control time,
[18:48] Victo
    but what happened in the
    past cannot be changed.
[18:51] Victo
    What's important is how much
    you cared for each other
[18:54] Victo
    and strengthened the bond you had
    during the time you lived together.
[19:01] Victo
    Now, then...
[19:02] Victo
    There's no skill in just trying to get away.
[19:06] Victo
    It's time for my counterattack.
[19:08] Kiri
    Don't, Victor!
[19:09] Victo
    Whoa, Kiri. Your job is to protect Koyuki.
[19:12] Victo
    Leave this to me.
[19:14] Victo
    After all, I promised Mom
    that I'd protect you.
[19:19] Victo
    It's written in my journal.
[19:20] Kiri
    No! Don't do it!
[19:22] Koyuki
    What's going on?
[19:25] Kiri
    When he uses Speed Up,
[19:26] Kiri
    the flow of Victor's time
    from within him accelerates.
[19:29] Kiri
    That means...
[19:31] Kiri
    He's about to give up his own
    time in return for our safety.
[19:37] Victo
    I thought that if I lost my memories,
[19:40] Victo
    I would eventually stop feeling
    the pain in my heart, as well.
[19:45] Victo
    But don't worry.
[19:46] Victo
    It's still very painful.
[19:50] Victo
    In return, I'll let you experience
    what it feels like to be alive,
[19:54] Victo
    with a card that can fire at Mach 10!
[19:57] Koyuki
    Victor...
[20:05] Victo
    Speed Up!
[20:13] Victo
    Ace Shot!
[20:39] Victo
    Where am I?
[20:40] Kiri
    Victor!
[20:42] Victo
    Huh?
[20:44] Victo
    What the heck happened?
[20:46] Kiri
    It's me, Kiri.
[20:47] Kiri
    Victor, do you recognize me?
[20:49] Victo
    Kiri?
[20:54] Victo
    Here, eat this pasta through your nose.
[20:56] Kiri
    That's what you start with?!
[20:57] Victo
    Huh? The pasta's all crusty.
[20:59] Kiri
    Thank goodness. He hasn't
    lost that much time.
[21:00] Victo
    Eating this through your nose
    would give you a nosebleed.
[21:05] Victo
    Actually, did you already eat
    your pasta through your nose?
[21:08] Kiri
    Huh? Er, I... uh...
[21:10] Kiri
    Y-Yeah, I did!
[21:12] Victo
    What, really? Are you serious?
[21:14] Kiri
    Yeah, I'm serious! And it
    was seriously al dente!
[21:20] Kiri
    I think you dropped this.
[21:24] Kiri
    Look at the back of the photo.
[21:25] Koyuki
    The back?
[21:33] Koyuki
    Always...
[21:36] Ralph
    I'll always be by your side, Koyuki.
[21:55] Koyuki
    Brother...
[21:59] Victo
    Koyuki, your brother is
    no longer in this world,
[22:03] Victo
    but you haven't lost the memories of
    the time you had with him, have you?
[22:07] Victo
    That in itself is a priceless treasure.
[22:13] Koyuki
    Yeah.
[22:52] (Flashback) Koyuki
    Come to think of it...
[22:54] (Flashback) Koyuki
    What is Victor's actual age?
[22:57] (Flashback) Kiri
    He becomes one day younger
    with each passing day,
[23:00] (Flashback) Kiri
    and his memories are lost at the same time.
[23:02] (Flashback) Koyuki
    So does that mean Victor is
    actually the older brother?
[23:09] Kiri
    Victor Putin. True age: 39.
[23:13] Kiri
    My...
[23:16] Kiri
    father.
