[00:06] Kiri
    This wall is what's keeping this
    town trapped 34 years in the past.
[00:10] Mina
    But who did this? And why?
[00:13] Blaze
    Hey, hang on! There's a movie
    I want to see next week!
[00:16] Kiri
    Blaze...
[00:18] Kiri
    Whether or not that'll be
    possible depends on this wall,
[00:21] Kiri
    and on whoever put it here.
SIGN    March 29 15:07
[02:27] Mina
    The one who made it?
[02:28] Blaze
    What do you mean?
[02:29] Kiri
    Doesn't it seem odd to you?
[02:31] Mina
    What?
[02:33] Kiri
    This strange time wall...
[02:38] Kiri
    Life in this town seems
    so peaceful at a glance.
[02:42] Kiri
    But there are numerous Horologues
    in the forest surrounding it.
[02:46] Mina
    Now that you mention it...
[02:48] Kiri
    Thinking back, it's almost as if the
    Horologues are protecting the town.
[02:52] Kiri
    Life for its residents
    is just that peaceful.
[02:55] Mina
    You're right. I guess you
    might call that mysterious.
[02:58] Blaze
    Nothing mysterious about it.
[03:00] Blaze
    It just means those Horologue
    wimps are scared of me.
[03:04] Mina
    Are you that stupid?
[03:05] Mina
    Why do you think it attacked us
    the moment we entered the forest?
[03:08] Blaze
    Huh? That was, you know...
[03:11] Blaze
    Its way of saying hello?
[03:13] Kiri
    That's what I mean. It's as if the
    Horologues are letting us do as we please,
[03:17] Kiri
    and observing us every step of the way.
[03:21] Kiri
    And the other thing that's bothering me
[03:23] Kiri
    is that this town keeps repeating
    the same day for some reason.
[03:28] (Flashback) Eve
    Huh? You...
[03:32] (Flashback) Eve
    Oh, you're...
[03:35] Mina
    So that's why even when we
    saw her the second time,
[03:38] Mina
    she acted like we'd never met before.
[03:40] Kiri
    Yeah.
[03:41] Kiri
    If time really is going backwards,
[03:44] Kiri
    she wouldn't remember us because
    she hadn't met us yet.
[03:49] Kiri
    If we assume the town's time was
    eaten the moment we entered it,
[03:53] Kiri
    the pieces fit together.
[04:02] Kiri
    What do you think of my deduction?
[04:06] Kyosuke
    You're exactly right.
[04:09] Kyosuke
    That's some sharp intuition you have,
[04:11] Kyosuke
    little brat.
[04:22] Kyosuke
    We've got nothing against you,
    and we don't want to hurt you,
[04:27] Kyosuke
    but now that you've figured out the truth...
[04:30] Kyosuke
    We can't let you live.
[04:35] Kiri
    One of the rings that controls a Horologue?
[04:37] Mina
    So you guys are behind all this?
[04:39] Kyosuke
    Sadly, you're wrong there.
[04:42] Kyosuke
    His Majesty is a busy man.
[04:45] Kyosuke
    He won't be going to the
    trouble of coming to see you.
[04:48] Mina
    Oh, so you guys just strolled out here
    because your leader told you to?
[04:53] Kyosuke
    You see, I'm not a very gutsy guy.
[04:57] Kyosuke
    His Majesty is a much more frightening
    being than you guys think!
[05:08] Kyosuke
    Oh, dear. I forgot to introduce myself.
[05:11] Kyosuke
    I'm Fujibayashi Kyosuke.
[05:14] Kyosuke
    I thought I'd lured you all here,
    but it looks like one got away.
[05:18] Kyosuke
    Still, that'll make this even easier for me.
[05:21] Kiri
    That's my line!
[05:29] Raiko
    My name is Raiko.
[05:31] Raiko
    I bear no grudge against the lot of you,
[05:33] Raiko
    but if you stand in the way
    of His Majesty's experiment,
[05:36] Raiko
    I will not hold back.
[05:39] Blaze
    Keep your hands off my little brother!
[05:46] Raiko
    Who are you?
[05:49] Blaze
    Hey, Gramps, are you the type that likes
    to let your fists do the talking?
[05:53] Blaze
    So am I! And I'm the worst villain around!
[05:56] Blaze
    I'll take you—whoa!
[06:00] Blaze
    Hey! Don't dodge me!
[06:02] Kiri
    He's tougher than I thought.
[06:04] Kyosuke
    You three aren't half bad.
[06:07] Blaze
    Enough talk! Hurry up and face me, old man!
[06:10] Blaze
    Let's duke it out over there! Come on!
[06:20] Kyosuke
    By the way, young lady...
[06:22] Kyosuke
    I thought you looked familiar.
[06:25] Kyosuke
    It's been twelve years, uh...
    what was your name again?
[06:29] Kyosuke
    Let's see now...
[06:31] Kyosuke
    Oh! Nana! Little Nana!
[06:39] Kiri
    Nana? That was Mom's name!
[06:41] Kiri
    So is Mina really my mother?
[06:45] Kiri
    But why a fake name?
[06:48] Kyosuke
    You were all over Victor back then.
[06:52] Kyosuke
    You still look exactly the same, though.
[06:55] Kyosuke
    Why don't you tell me the secret
    behind your youthful looks?
[07:04] Mina
    He's...
[07:09] Kyosuke
    Here I come!
[07:13] Kyosuke
    Come on, is that all you've got?
[07:15] Kyosuke
    And little lady, where's that
    fury you had a moment ago?
[07:18] Kyosuke
    Did I say something wrong?
[07:28] Mina
    Your attacks are repulsive, old man.
[07:31] Kyosuke
    Isn't my Horologue fast?
[07:34] Kyosuke
    And it's got more than speed.
    It can extend and contract at will.
[07:38] Kyosuke
    It's the perfect partner
    for a lazy guy like me.
[07:41] Mina
    You talk too much!
[07:45] Kiri
    Calm down. Focus on the
    enemy in front of me first!
[07:48] Kyosuke
    I haven't seen you in so long.
    Of course I'm sentimental.
[07:53] Kyosuke
    Is the boy with the glasses your son?
[07:55] Kyosuke
    What happened to that
    precocious little boy?
[07:58] Kyosuke
    He used to cling to you all the time!
[08:04] Kiri
    Mina!
[08:40] Victor
    Oh, it's you.
[08:42] Victor
    Is something wrong?
[09:01] Victor
    Oh, it's you.
[09:04] Victor
    Is something wrong?
[09:09] Victor
    Thanks for earlier.
[09:13] Aiks
    Why?
[09:15] Aiks
    Why do you suffer?
[09:19] Aiks
    You saved Eve's life.
[09:22] Aiks
    Why aren't you happy?
[09:26] Aiks
    Why did you hit Vic?
[09:29] Aiks
    Why?
[09:31] Aiks
    I truly can't understand.
[09:36] Victor
    Don't be so nosy.
[09:38] Victor
    Every family has its problems.
[09:43] Aiks
    Problems? What problems?
[09:46] Aiks
    What kinds of problems?
[09:48] Aiks
    What's the answer to the problem?
[09:50] Aiks
    Won't you tell me?
[09:53] Victor
    What are you talking about?
[09:55] Victor
    Who is this guy?
    Something's odd about him.
[10:05] Bill
    I finally found you.
[10:10] Bill
    I heard His Majesty had ordered you
[10:13] Bill
    to come here on a mission,
    so I went looking for you.
[10:17] Victor
    Bill... Reidan?
[10:21] Bill
    Give me another ring.
[10:24] Bill
    I won't disappoint His Majesty this time.
[10:28] Victor
    His Majesty?
[10:29] Bill
    This time, I will turn
    reality into a video game.
[10:33] Bill
    For my mother.
[10:35] Aiks
    A game? Your mother?
[10:38] Aiks
    What do those have to do with one another?
[10:41] Aiks
    I don't understand.
[10:45] Aiks
    Allow me to observe your memories.
[10:49] Aiks
    I want to understand.
[10:52] Bill
    Huh? Observe?
[10:55] Bill
    Fine. You just want me to tell
    you what happened, right?
[10:59] Bill
    I want to make these guys—
[11:01] Aiks
    No, there's no need for
    anything so troublesome.
[11:05] Aiks
    I need only eat you, and I'll know.
[11:50] Aiks
    I see.
[11:52] Aiks
    He drowned himself in video games to
    avert his eyes from his mother's death.
[11:57] Aiks
    Now that I know the course of events,
[12:00] Aiks
    I still can't understand.
[12:03] Victor
    What are you?!
[12:05] Aiks
    It seems I may never understand
    these creatures known as "humans."
[12:12] Victor
    It can't be...
[12:21] Aiks
    This is the third time we have met.
[12:27] Aiks
    You don't remember?
[12:29] Aiks
    Or don't you recognize me?
[12:33] Aiks
    Then what if I do this?
[12:41] Victor
    You're...
[12:43] Victor
    Impossible! Horologues act only on
    their instinct to devour human time!
[12:49] Aiks
    As Horologues devour vast
    amounts of human time,
[12:53] Aiks
    they are gradually influenced
    by the humans' memories.
[12:56] Aiks
    Eventually, they come to possess an ego.
[12:59] Aiks
    And my ego disguised itself as a human
    in order to learn more about them.
[13:04] Aiks
    It is now among the humans, observing them.
[13:09] Victor
    How is it possible? The target
    of my revenge came to me itself,
[13:13] Victor
    but I haven't gotten my strength back yet!
[13:16] Victor
    And my cards are...
[13:19] Aiks
    There are many things I wish to ask you.
[13:23] Aiks
    I have performed experiments over and over,
[13:26] Aiks
    but I simply cannot
    understand human emotions.
[13:30] Victor
    Experiments?
[13:31] Aiks
    For instance...
[13:34] Aiks
    Experiment 1.
[13:35] Aiks
    The kind-hearted Alex always
    uses his money to help others.
[13:40] Aiks
    So I gave him more money than
    he knew what to do with.
[13:44] Aiks
    But he didn't even make a
    move to take any of it.
[13:47] Aiks
    He only kept giving his own wealth.
[13:50] Aiks
    I truly can't understand it.
[13:54] Aiks
    Experiment 2.
[13:55] Aiks
    In another experiment, I pushed Vic
    and Eve into a lake at the same time.
[14:01] Aiks
    Alexander tried to save them both,
[14:04] Aiks
    but all three ended up drowning.
[14:09] Aiks
    I truly can't understand it.
[14:18] Kiri
    What?
[14:19] Mina
    You idiot! Watch your back!
[14:22] Mina
    He won't think twice about
    using cowardly tricks.
[14:26] Kira
    Mina, why...
[14:28] Kyosuke
    A mother's love is a remarkable thing.
[14:32] Kiri
    A mother's...
[14:33] Mina
    Don't take it the wrong way.
[14:35] Mina
    I did it because my darling
    would be sad if you died.
[14:39] Mina
    Remember what I told you?
    I don't want to see him sad.
[14:43] Kyosuke
    My goodness. The plan was to
    get rid of you two quickly
[14:47] Kyosuke
    and then move on to Victor, but...
[14:50] Kiri
    What are you saying?!
[14:52] Mina
    Kiri, go.
[14:55] Mina
    You're the only one who can save my darling.
[14:58] Mina
    Go! Hurry!
[15:11] Raiko
    It is clearly true that heroics
    spring from the young.
[15:15] Raiko
    How impressive that you prove
    an equal match for me.
[15:18] Blaze
    Don't make me laugh.
[15:20] Blaze
    You think that little mosquito-bite
    punch will work on me?
[15:24] Blaze
    Don't make me laugh!
[15:30] Raiko
    In order to repay His Majesty's kindness,
[15:33] Raiko
    I must defeat all of you.
[15:36] Blaze
    Now I'm gonna show you just how bad I am!
[15:49] Aiks
    There is no need to worry.
[15:51] Aiks
    Once my experiment is over,
    I will return the flow of time.
[15:55] Aiks
    They will come back to life
    as if nothing happened.
[15:58] Aiks
    The power to consume time affords
    great freedom in its use.
[16:02] Aiks
    I can repeat my experiments infinitely.
[16:05] Aiks
    Now, let me tell you about some
    more experiments of mine...
[16:10] Aiks
    Experiment 3.
[16:12] Aiks
    I killed Eve in front of Vic.
[16:16] Aiks
    Little Vic is normally so calm
    and outwardly emotionless,
[16:19] Aiks
    but he showed an anguished expression then.
[16:24] Aiks
    Do you not find it strange?
[16:26] Aiks
    I killed the mother he
    saw as such a nuisance,
[16:30] Aiks
    so why was he not happy?
[16:32] Aiks
    Experiment 4.
[16:34] Aiks
    Driven by curiosity,
[16:36] Aiks
    I killed both Eve and Alexander.
[16:39] Aiks
    I thought, perhaps, killing only
    Eve was not enough to please him.
[16:44] Aiks
    But on the contrary,
    Vic was even more distraught.
[16:50] Aiks
    Is that not strange?
[16:52] Victor
    Shut up.
[16:54] Aiks
    Then there was... Ah, yes.
[16:56] Aiks
    Eve's brush with death today
    was also an experiment.
[16:59] Victor
    Stop it!
[17:00] Aiks
    I don't understand why you look so mournful,
[17:04] Aiks
    even though you saved your mother.
[17:06] Aiks
    And why did you hit Vic?
[17:09] Victor
    That's enough!
[17:10] Aiks
    Then tell me.
[17:12] Aiks
    What makes you suffer so?
[17:15] Victor
    Shut up!
[17:16] Victor
    Not only did you take my memories,
    but you toyed with my family's lives!
[17:20] Victor
    I won't forgive that!
[17:20] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up
[17:28] Aiks
    Do not attack me with your emotions.
[17:31] Aiks
    I did not come here to fight you.
[17:35] Victor
    He stopped my fastest attack,
[17:37] Victor
    Sped Up three thousand times,
    with one hand?!
[17:41] Aiks
    If my use of the people you care about
    in my experiments displeases you,
[17:47] Aiks
    then why don't you serve as the
    subject of my experiments?
[18:05] Aiks
    Can you see it?
[18:07] Aiks
    This is the organ I use to eat.
[18:10] Aiks
    As you and your friends guessed,
[18:11] Aiks
    I have been eating this town's time.
[18:16] Aiks
    If I may complain a bit,
[18:17] Aiks
    the amount of time here is so
    vast that it's all I can do
[18:23] Aiks
    not to spit it up.
[18:26] Aiks
    Eating such a large amount
    drains my strength, as well.
[18:30] Aiks
    At present, I can only use about thirty
    to forty percent of my strength.
[18:35] Aiks
    If you used your power to the fullest,
[18:37] Aiks
    perhaps you could damage my eating organ
[18:40] Aiks
    and force me to spit up the time I've eaten.
[18:46] Aiks
    That's the way.
[18:47] Aiks
    That expression tells me you
    understand my intentions.
[18:52] Aiks
    If I spit up all that time,
[18:55] Aiks
    this town will return to the present.
[18:58] Aiks
    But at the same time,
[19:00] Aiks
    you will never see your dead parents again.
[19:09] Aiks
    This is a very simple experiment.
[19:11] Aiks
    All you must do is choose
    one of two options.
[19:14] Aiks
    The first option
[19:16] Aiks
    is to keep things as they are and
    continue to enjoy your happy family.
[19:20] Aiks
    The second option
[19:22] Aiks
    is to uphold your conviction
    as a Chronos Ruler,
[19:25] Aiks
    defeat me, and return everything to normal.
[19:29] Aiks
    How truly fascinating.
[19:31] Aiks
    Victor Putin, the very man who has always
    said time doesn't flow backwards
[19:35] Aiks
    and that one mustn't be
    overtaken by regret...
[19:37] Aiks
    What choice will he make?
[19:40] Aiks
    I will be patiently observing this.
[19:49] (Flashback) Victor
    Your brother is no longer in this world,
[19:52] (Flashback) Victor
    but you haven't lost the memories of
    the time you had with him, have you?
SIGN    Memories of Your Time
[19:56] (Flashback) Victor
    That means your mother can live
    forever inside your heart.

    Pull yourself together!

    You're the only one who can save Eve!
SIGN    You're the Only One
[20:08] Victor
    Dad...
[20:09] (Flashback) Eve
    I'm very proud that Vic has grown
    to be such an independent boy.
SIGN    An Independent Boy
[20:17] Victor
    Mom...
[20:20] Aiks
    Which will you choose? Give me your answer.
[20:23] Victor
    You shouldn't have to ask!
[20:25] Victor
    I won't let you toy with my parents again!
[20:26] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up
[20:30] Victor
    And I will be taking back my memories!
[20:33] Aiks
    I understand a Chronos Ruler's ability
[20:35] Aiks
    is proportionate to the
    strength of his will.
[20:39] Aiks
    It appears you still harbor
    some doubt in your heart.
[20:52] Kyosuke
    Now, this is a fine sight!
[20:58] Kyosuke
    You didn't want your son to
    hear me say any more, did you?
[21:04] Mina
    So what?
[21:06] Mina
    If you keep spouting nonsense,
[21:09] Mina
    I'll shut your mouth forever.
[21:19] Aiks
    What's the matter? Are you done already?
[21:22] Aiks
    You do give up quickly.
[21:26] Aiks
    Goodness... You disappoint me.
[21:37] Kiri
    I can't believe you're my father.
[21:41] Victor
    Kiri?
[21:44] Kiri
    It's so pathetic, I could cry.
