[00:14] Kyosuke
    You didn't want your son to
    hear me say any more, did you?
[00:21] Mina
    If you keep spouting nonsense,
[00:24] Mina
    I'll shut your mouth forever.
[00:37] Kyosuke
    Dear me, how scary.
[00:40] Kyosuke
    Are you actually trying to kill me?
[00:49] Kyosuke
    Well, that's fine. The same goes for me!
[00:57] Kyosuke
    You know, my left eye...
[00:59] Kyosuke
    It was Victor who sliced it up.
[01:02] Kyosuke
    I'm quite a wimp, after all.
[01:05] Kyosuke
    Ever since then, I've thought of
    nothing but how I could get revenge.
[01:10] Kyosuke
    Then, one day...
[01:11] Kyosuke
    I had a great idea!
[02:46] Kyosuke
    I had a great idea!
[02:51] Kyosuke
    All I had to do was kill his wife!
[02:56] Mina
    Child's play!
[02:58] Mina
    You're fast, but that's all.
[03:00] Mina
    You have no technique!
[03:03] Kyosuke
    What?
[03:04] Mina
    Speed Up!
[03:17] Mina
    Our little game is over.
[03:20] Mina
    Just let that Horologue you can
    no longer control eat you.
[03:23] Kyosuke
    Oh, I'm done for...
[03:27] Kyosuke
    Just kidding!
[03:31] Mina
    Why?!
[03:32] Kyosuke
    Why? Come on, now.
[03:35] Kyosuke
    I had no idea you were such a naïve girl.
[03:40] Kyosuke
    Did you honestly think I'd wear the real
    ring where it could be seen so easily?
[03:45] Kyosuke
    I've kept it hidden, of course!
[03:51] Mina
    Well, that's fine, then.
[03:53] Mina
    I just need to defeat the Horologue itself.
[03:56] Mina
    I'll cook you up after that!
[04:10] Mina
    I can't... move...
[04:13] Kyosuke
    Ah, I see it's finally kicked in.
[04:21] Kyosuke
    I have no technique, do I?
[04:23] Kyosuke
    You only say that because you don't
    understand how a Horologue ought to be used.
[04:28] Mina
    How it ought... to be used?
[04:31] Kyosuke
    A Horologue's staple diet is time.
[04:33] Kyosuke
    Time includes memories,
    experiences, and abilities.
[04:38] Kyosuke
    When a Horologue eats time,
    it also gains those things.
[04:44] Kyosuke
    And this one's name is Fudoku.
[04:47] Kyosuke
    Wolf's bane, scorpions, frogs,
    tarantulas, cobras...
[04:53] Kyosuke
    It's eaten all manner of toxic organisms.
[04:57] Kyosuke
    You get the rest, right?
[05:00] Kyosuke
    When you shielded your beloved son,
[05:02] Kyosuke
    neurotoxins invaded your body.
[05:06] Kyosuke
    Oh, but don't worry.
[05:09] Kyosuke
    The effects of that poison only
    lasts one to two hours at most.
[05:12] Kyosuke
    Oh, but there are some things I'd like to
    test out on you in the meantime.
[05:20] Kyosuke
    Where should we start?
[05:24] Blaze
    I am the Sixth Chronos Ruler, Blaze!
[05:28] Blaze
    An old geezer like you is no match for me,
[05:31] Blaze
    but I know fate when I see it.
[05:33] Blaze
    Speed Up!
[05:47] Blaze
    You're kidding me.
[05:49] Blaze
    A little old man like you blocked my attack?
[05:53] Blaze
    How?
[05:55] Blaze
    A Horologue? An Oath of Time?
[05:58] Blaze
    There's no way you did that on your own!
[06:00] Raiko
    My existence, down to the last drop
    of my blood, belongs to His Majesty.
[06:05] Blaze
    Huh?
[06:06] Blaze
    Everyone keeps talking about "His Majesty."
    Who the hell is that?
[06:10] Raiko
    His Majesty gave me a new body,
[06:14] Raiko
    and from him I received a new life.
[06:17] Blaze
    Life?
[06:19] Raiko
    Therefore, His Majesty's orders...
[06:23] Raiko
    are absolute, even if they cost me my life!
[06:29] Blaze
    Wh-What the hell?!
[06:32] Blaze
    You fused with a Horologue?
[06:35] Blaze
    What kind of psycho are you?!
[06:38] Raiko
    When I was very young,
[06:40] Raiko
    disease caused my muscles to atrophy,
    and my parents abandoned me.
[07:01] Raiko
    It was His Majesty who took me in.
[07:07] Raiko
    By transplanting a Horologue into my flesh,
[07:09] Raiko
    I gained a new body.
[07:12] Raiko
    His Majesty is both a father and
    a god to me, and that is why...
[07:17] Raiko
    I will not allow anyone to
    stand in His Majesty's way!
[07:28] Blaze
    That's such a great story.
    You've really had it rough, old man.
[07:33] Blaze
    And this "His Majesty" must
    be a great guy, too.
[07:37] Raiko
    You understand the compassion
    of His Majesty?
[07:40] Blaze
    Of course I do!
[07:41] Blaze
    But old man, there's someone
    who's important to me, too!
[07:45] Blaze
    And to protect my kid brother, Kiri...
[07:47] Blaze
    In the name of evil, I will defeat you!
[07:51] Raiko
    The strength of your will is admirable!
[07:53] Raiko
    I will face you, young one!
[07:59] Raiko
    His Majesty has granted me the
    agility of a monkey-type Horologue,
[08:03] Raiko
    as well as great strength.
[08:07] Blaze
    A monkey, huh?
[08:09] Blaze
    If you're a monkey, then I'm
    the incarnation of a dragon.
[08:13] Blaze
    You know what that means?
[08:14] Blaze
    I'm a hell of a lot stronger than you!
[08:17] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up
[08:18] Raiko
    A mere sparrow cannot soar with eagles!
[08:35] Blaze
    Damn, old man.
[08:37] Blaze
    You're tougher than I thought.
[08:39] Blaze
    Now I don't mind showing you how
    much power my fist really packs!
[09:02] Raiko
    The wisdom of my martial arts and
    the peerless might of the Horologue
[09:06] Raiko
    come together in me to complete
    the ultimate fighting force!
[09:20] Kyosuke
    Now...
[09:21] Kyosuke
    This one has poison that kills by bleeding
    all the blood out of your body,
[09:26] Kyosuke
    and this one has poison that kills by shock
    resulting from the illusion of pain.
[09:32] Kyosuke
    And this one...
[09:34] Kyosuke
    has a slightly more gentle poison
    that puts you in dreamland forever.
[09:39] Kyosuke
    Which of the three poisons would you like,
[09:43] Kyosuke
    mademoiselle?
[09:45] Mina
    I think you mean four poisons.
[09:47] Mina
    You left out the one where I
    bite you and you die from poison.
[09:53] Kyosuke
    Playing tough, eh, little Nana?
[09:55] Kyosuke
    Then, out of respect to your courage...
[09:58] Kyosuke
    I'll try them all on you!
[10:06] Mina
    My poison is finally taking effect.
[10:12] Kyosuke
    What... just happened?
[10:15] Kyosuke
    Why did they disappear?
[10:18] Mina
    I just told you.
[10:19] Mina
    It was poison.
[10:21] Kyosuke
    Did you say... poison?
[10:25] Kyosuke
    How... did you...
[10:28] Mina
    The blood of Chronos has the
    power to purify Horologues.
[10:33] Kyosuke
    What...
[10:34] Mina
    You didn't know, did you?
[10:36] Mina
    From the moment your Horologue wounded me,
[10:39] Mina
    my blood was already starting to work.
[10:42] Mina
    My blood purifies Horologues
[10:44] Mina
    and, naturally, detoxifies
    any poisons they possess.
[10:49] Mina
    Fight poison with poison...
[10:51] Mina
    An appropriate idiom for you.
[10:54] Kyosuke
    Purifying power? That can't be...
[10:57] Kyosuke
    Just what are you—
[11:02] Mina
    What? Sorry, I can't hear you.
[11:06] Mina
    I've created a vacuum around you!
[11:09] Mina
    If you'd kept your mouth shut,
    you could've lived a little longer.
[11:13] Mina
    But now that you know too much,
    I need you to go away...
[11:19] Mina
    Forever.
[11:32] Raiko
    What's the matter, boy? Out of moves?
[11:35] Blaze
    Damn, damn! I can't just go down like this!
[11:39] Blaze
    Come up with something, me!
    You've gotta do this, me!
[11:43] Raiko
    Young one, do you still intend to fight?
[11:48] Blaze
    This isn't enough!
[11:50] Blaze
    I'm the world's top villain, you know!
[11:54] Raiko
    You certainly do have guts!
[11:57] Raiko
    But when I can see your attacks coming,
    no degree of speed can—
[12:03] Raiko
    Is this... gunpowder?
[12:06] Raiko
    It's maintaining a gradual burn!
[12:08] Blaze
    Finally figured it out, huh?
[12:11] Blaze
    Too late!
[12:14] Blaze
    Lightning Fire Bomb!
[12:16] Raiko
    He Slowed Down countless burning sparks
[12:19] Raiko
    and dispersed them all around me?!
[12:22] Raiko
    I can't dodge this many of them!
[12:25] Raiko
    And although each individual one is small,
[12:27] Raiko
    the effect of this many
    of them together is...
[12:33] Raiko
    ...immense!
[12:57] Blaze
    Old man... I've won.
[13:01] Raiko
    I am shamed...
[13:04] Raiko
    Your Majesty, I am truly sorry...
[13:09] Raiko
    My debt to you... to my father...
    I could not...
[13:15] Blaze
    The father who raised you...
[13:17] Blaze
    A debt to your family...
[13:21] Blaze
    But, sorry to say,
[13:25] Blaze
    I'm fighting for something like that, too.
[13:34] Aiks
    So pathetic, you could cry?
[13:37] Aiks
    Why, then, do you wish to protect Victor?
[13:43] Aiks
    I truly cannot understand humans.
[13:46] Kiri
    I'll tell you.
[13:48] Aiks
    Being impossible to understand
    is what makes humans human!
[13:53] Kiri
    Slow Down.
[13:57] Kiri
    True Rain of a Thousand Camps!
SIGN    Speed Up
[14:10] Kiri
    What?!
[14:19] Kiri
    It ate my technique itself?!
[14:21] Aiks
    Oh-ho...
[14:23] Aiks
    I'd like to know more about you, too.
[14:25] Aiks
    By all means.
[14:27] Victor
    Kiri, he separates himself from
    the Horologues to eat time!
[14:31] Victor
    Be careful!
[14:32] Kiri
    I can see that easily.
[14:34] Kiri
    Victor, you just stay there.
[14:38] Aiks
    Eternal Eaters!
SIGN    Eternal Eaters
[14:56] Kiri
    They really do eat everything.
[14:58] Aiks
    This is no more than play.
[15:00] Aiks
    Do you wish to keep going?
[15:02] Kiri
    Of course I do.
[15:04] Kiri
    I don't intend to stop
    until I've defeated you!
[15:08] Aiks
    My goodness. I just don't understand.
[15:15] Aiks
    I will observe this strange thing
    at my leisure after eating it.
[15:20] Victor
    Kiri!
[15:25] Kiri
    I'd rather you didn't just decide
    where I'm going on your own.
[15:29] Kiri
    Release Slow Down!
[15:32] Kiri
    It's still not working?
[15:45] Aiks
    Am I correct in thinking you've resolved
    to stop resisting and let me eat you?
[15:50] Kiri
    If you want to know, find out for yourself.
[15:53] Aiks
    Interesting. I will gladly do just that!
[16:10] Aiks
    You aren't using your sword?
[16:14] Kiri
    I Sped Up the evaporation
    of water in the earth
[16:17] Kiri
    and turned it into many blades.
[16:20] Kiri
    I didn't expect it to take down a Horologue.
[16:23] Kiri
    But even if you are capable
    of healing yourself,
[16:26] Kiri
    it has to consume energy.
[16:28] Kiri
    I just need to finish you
    before you can heal yourself.
[16:31] Kiri
    It's over.
[16:35] Kiri
    What you're feeling now is an
    emotion humans call "fear."
[16:53] Victor
    Was that healing?
[16:55] Kiri
    No. He ate his own time,
[16:57] Kiri
    reverting to the state he was
    in before I damaged him!
[17:01] Victor
    We've never met a Horologue with
    that kind of power before!
[17:05] Aiks
    Only very few Horologues can heal themselves
    by eating part of their own bodies.
[17:11] Aiks
    I feel a bit ill, but this
    instantly returns me to normal.
[17:16] Aiks
    It's quite wonderful!
[17:20] Kiri
    Still, I can't give up now!
[17:25] Victor
    Kiri!
[17:30] Aiks
    Haven't you had enough?
    Just let it eat you now.
[17:45] Victor
    Kiri!
[17:46] Aiks
    Even injury does not deter you
    from fighting your enemy.
[17:50] Aiks
    Truly, I am surprised.
[17:53] Aiks
    But...
[17:54] Aiks
    I believe you have no moves left to try.
[18:03] Aiks
    Ah, yes...
[18:05] Aiks
    That expression!
[18:07] Aiks
    I have done so much experimentation
    and observation
[18:10] Aiks
    in order to understand human emotions.
[18:14] Aiks
    Humans smile when they are suffering,
[18:17] Aiks
    grieve when someone they hate leaves them,
[18:21] Aiks
    and sometimes, they even say
    things they don't mean.
[18:25] Aiks
    And you...
[18:27] Aiks
    continue to attack me when
    you have no chance of winning.
[18:30] Aiks
    You even injured yourself,
[18:32] Aiks
    when if you had stopped resisting,
    you would never have felt that pain.
[18:37] Aiks
    The more I observe them, the less
    I understand human emotions.
[18:41] Aiks
    I can't make logical sense of it at all.
[18:45] Aiks
    But there's one thing I am certain of.
[18:48] Aiks
    In the many thousands of
    experiments I've conducted,
[18:51] Aiks
    whenever humans have sensed
    approaching death,
[18:55] Aiks
    they always made that expression.
[19:00] Aiks
    That... is "fear"!
[19:04] Aiks
    Scared, aren't you?
[19:05] Aiks
    As well you should be.
[19:08] Aiks
    The one human emotion I
    do understand is fear...
[19:14] Aiks
    And that, for me, is the
    most precious asset of all!
[19:21] Victor
    Kiri!
[19:40] Alex
    Aiks brought our family back together.
    We owe him everything.
[19:45] Alex
    Victor, were you always so ungrateful?
[19:50] Victor
    Dad...
[19:54] Victor
    You're wrong, Dad! Kiri is in danger!
[19:58] Victor
    I have to help him!
[19:59] KidVic
    Then what about us?
[20:07] KidVic
    If you kill Aiks, we'll disappear forever.
[20:10] KidVic
    Is that what you want?
[20:17] KidVic
    Even after becoming an adult,
[20:19] KidVic
    you're still as selfish as ever.
[20:44] Victor
    Get it together!
[20:46] Victor
    Mom and Dad are already dead!
[20:48] Victor
    I can't save Kiri if I
    stay trapped in the past!
