[00:02] Aiks
    The one human emotion I
    do understand is fear...
[00:07] Aiks
    And that, for me, is the
    most precious asset of all!
[00:13] Victor
    Kiri!
[00:19] Alex
    Aiks brought our family back together.
    We owe him everything.
[00:24] KidVic
    If you kill Aiks, we'll disappear forever.
[00:28] KidVic
    Is that what you want?
[00:37] Victor
    Get it together!
[00:39] Victor
    Mom and Dad are already dead!
[00:41] Victor
    I can't save Kiri if I
    stay trapped in the past!
[00:47] Victor
    I am
[00:49] Victor
    a victor!
[00:55] Eve
    Time to say goodbye, Vic.
SIGN    March 29 15:58
[02:53] Aiks
    Were you holding back?
[02:55] Aiks
    Why did you avoid my vital points?
[03:02] Aiks
    Attacking me is pointless if you
    don't target my eating organs.
[03:06] Aiks
    Because, as you can see,
    I'll just heal myself.
[03:10] Aiks
    Still, until only moments ago,
[03:14] Aiks
    you couldn't even think about hurting me.
[03:17] Aiks
    Why now?
[03:21] Aiks
    Would you do it again?
[03:24] Aiks
    I'd like to observe it carefully.
[03:27] Victor
    Shut up.
[03:29] Aiks
    "Shut up"?
[03:31] Aiks
    What does that mean?
[03:33] Aiks
    Does it signify your agreement?
    Or perhaps refusal?
[03:37] Aiks
    Oh, I see!
[03:40] Aiks
    You've used up all of your cards!
[03:43] Aiks
    Then I shall observe you
    in a more direct manner!
[03:49] Kiri
    Victor!
[04:00] Eve
    If you defeat Aiks, the town
    will return to normal,
[04:04] Eve
    and you'll never see us again.
[04:07] Victor
    Mom...
[04:09] Eve
    Will you kill me?
[04:13] Girl
    All that about you having
    a kind heart was a lie.
[04:16] Guy
    You just want to be saved yourself.
[04:18] Alex
    Parricide.
[04:19] Girl
    Disgraceful.
[04:20] KidVic
    Selfish.
[04:21] Eve
    You'll kill your parents.
    Kill... Kill... Kill... Kill... Kill...
[04:26] Victor
    No!
[04:29] Victor
    Mom, you're already...
[04:33] Victor
    You're already dead!
[04:51] Aiks
    A fist...
[04:53] Aiks
    Did you think the single fist of
    a mere human could defeat me?
[04:59] Victor
    I won't let you
[05:02] Victor
    have your way
[05:04] Victor
    with my memories any longer!
[05:09] Aiks
    Speed Up? But how?
[05:13] Aiks
    You were hiding a card in your hand?
[05:26] Kiri
    Time...
[05:45] Blaze
    What are those lights?
[05:47] Blaze
    What the hell is going on?
[05:49] Mina
    A Horologue is spitting up the
    time that it had swallowed.
[05:53] Mina
    This is what this town should look like.
[05:56] Blaze
    Huh? Say what?!
[06:00] Kiri
    Time is coming back?
[06:04] Kiri
    You did it, Victor!
[06:06] Kiri
    Victor?
[06:16] Kiri
    Victor, let's go to the clinic.
[06:19] Kiri
    We'll go to the clinic. If we
    go now, we can still see them.
[06:24] Victor
    No, it's all right.
[06:27] Victor
    My parents' time is coming to an end.
[06:30] Victor
    What can I do for them now?
[06:32] Kiri
    It's not ending!
[06:34] Kiri
    You're going to end it!
[06:38] Kiri
    Face time! Stare down reality!
[06:42] Kiri
    If you don't,
[06:43] Kiri
    you'll never be freed from
    the regrets of your past!
[07:09] Eve
    Oh...
[07:10] Eve
    You're here!
[07:13] Eve
    What's wrong? Come in and have a seat.
[07:23] Eve
    It's all right.
[07:26] Eve
    Don't worry about Vic.
[07:32] Eve
    Both Alex and I are grateful to you.
[07:36] Eve
    You gave your own blood to save me.
[07:40] Victor
    I'm glad to hear that.
[07:42] Eve
    Oh, I'm sorry! That's not a very
    fun subject to talk about, is it?
[07:46] Eve
    A fun subject... Fun...
[07:50] Eve
    Oh! Remember when I told you that
[07:52] Eve
    I plan to give Vic that picture
    when he becomes an adult?
[07:56] Eve
    That day is still a long way off,
[08:00] Eve
    but just thinking about the look on
    his face when I give it to him...
[08:04] Eve
    I'm already so excited to see it.
[08:07] Eve
    The present has a connection to Vic's name.
[08:10] Eve
    Vic's name is—
[08:12] Victor
    Victor.
[08:14] Victor
    It means "victor."
[08:16] Victor
    One who fights alone,
    relying on no one else,
[08:20] Victor
    and grasps victory on his own.
[08:22] Victor
    "Be a victor."
[08:24] Victor
    That's the meaning of the
    picture you're making for him.
[08:28] Victor
    It's what you want him to become.
[08:31] Victor
    Don't worry, Eve.
[08:34] Victor
    Vic won't let you down.
[08:37] Victor
    He'll become just the kind
    of adult you hope for.
[08:45] Eve
    This pen I'm using...
[08:49] Eve
    Alex got it from his father
    when he was little.
[08:53] Eve
    In those days, when things
    were hard to come by,
[08:56] Eve
    a single pen was a prized possession.
[08:59] Eve
    Alex used this pen for all
    his classwork and homework,
[09:02] Eve
    and even all the work he's done as an adult.
[09:05] Eve
    Ever since he gave it to me,
[09:08] Eve
    I've used it to draw pictures.
[09:12] Eve
    Vic's name means "victor."
[09:15] Eve
    Victory and success aren't
    things one can achieve alone.
[09:19] Eve
    I believe you only achieve them
    with the help of your family,
[09:23] Eve
    friends, and companions.
[09:26] Eve
    So many of his family's wishes
    are packed into this pen.
[09:34] Eve
    I plan to give it to Vic.
[09:39] Eve
    Vic is a strong, clever boy,
[09:42] Eve
    so he believes he can do
    everything on his own.
[09:45] Eve
    But one day, when Vic becomes
    independent and leaves this home,
[09:49] Eve
    I want him to have this pen.
[09:51] Eve
    Then he can know that he isn't alone.
[09:56] Eve
    When he's sad, he can rely on his family.
[09:58] Eve
    When he's suffering,
    he can rely on his friends.
[10:01] Eve
    Relying on others, being relied upon,
    and sharing laughter and tears...
[10:06] Eve
    That is what I consider a "victor."
[10:15] Victor
    I...
[10:17] Victor
    I was wrong all this time.
[10:20] Victor
    I didn't realize what my
    mom really wanted for me.
[10:24] Victor
    I wouldn't trust the family and
    companions who supported me,
[10:27] Victor
    or rely on them.
[10:30] Victor
    I only believed in my own abilities.
[10:38] Eve
    So...
[10:43] Eve
    Take good care of this pen,
[10:46] Eve
    Vic.
[10:49] Eve
    It's a gift from your father and me
     to celebrate your adulthood.
[10:54] Victor
    How long...
[10:56] Victor
    How long have you known?
[10:59] Victor
    When I gave you my blood? Or...
[11:02] Eve
    I think it was before that.
[11:05] Eve
    The moment I first saw you,
    I had a strange feeling.
[11:10] Eve
    You've grown up so much, Vic.
[11:14] Eve
    You're gentle,
[11:15] Eve
    you're kind,
[11:17] Eve
    you have a strong sense of duty,
[11:19] Eve
    and above all, you have
    many wonderful friends.
[11:23] Eve
    You're exactly the man I hoped you would be.
[11:28] Eve
    Thank you, Victor.
[11:33] Eve
    I'm so glad
SIGN    Thank You for Being Born
[11:36] Eve
    I got to be your mother.
[11:47] Eve
    Victor...
[11:48] Victor
    Mom...
[11:51] Victor
    I've...
[11:53] Victor
    The truth is, I've...
[11:59] Victor
    I've wanted to see you all this time, Mom!
[12:03] Victor
    I wanted to see you and apologize.
[12:05] Victor
    I always wanted to apologize.
[12:08] Victor
    As a child, I was so selfish.
[12:12] Victor
    I don't even know how many times I hurt you.
[12:15] Victor
    I called you stupid.
[12:18] Victor
    I even wanted to toss this
    family aside and run away.
[12:22] Victor
    I never realized how precious
    you really were to me.
[12:27] Victor
    I'm such a complete idiot!
[12:31] Victor
    I'm sorry, Mom.
[12:50] Kiri
    Was I right to do this?
[12:54] Kiri
    Or did I only cause Victor pain?
[13:04] Kiri
    Aiks!
[13:08] Aiks
    I see.
[13:11] Victor
    You're still alive?
[13:13] Aiks
    Yes, and thanks to that, I have a slightly
    better understanding of you now.
[13:18] Aiks
    Since you didn't cherish
    your family as a child,
[13:23] Aiks
    you now feel you have a debt.
[13:25] Aiks
    Because of that, even though you always
    discouraged dwelling in the past,
[13:29] Aiks
    you felt troubled. Am I correct?
[13:32] Aiks
    Then in order to prove my theory,
[13:35] Aiks
    I will repeat the experiment one more time!
[13:41] Eve
    Vic!
[13:44] Victor
    Enough. It ends here.
[13:46] Aiks
    It ends here?
[13:48] Aiks
    Are you saying my theory
    has been proven correct?
[13:54] Aiks
    In that case...
[13:55] Aiks
    I call off the experiment.
[13:59] Aiks
    Thank you for your cooperation.
[14:01] Aiks
    I have come to understand
    one more human emotion.
[14:05] Kiri
    You—
[14:05] Victor
    Don't, Kiri.
[14:07] Kiri
    Victor! Why'd you stop me?!
[14:12] Victor
    When you came to understand that
    human emotion, what did you think?
[14:17] Aiks
    What do you mean?
[14:18] Victor
    Was it fun? Did it excite you?
[14:21] Victor
    Or did you find it amusing?
[14:24] Aiks
    Ah...
[14:29] Aiks
    I felt nothing whatsoever.
[14:37] Victor
    You killed my family and brought
    them back over and over again,
[14:42] Victor
    toying with them in the
    name of your experiment,
[14:44] Victor
    and then you say you didn't feel a thing?!
[14:49] Victor
    I'll make you pay for that.
[15:08] Mina
    Darling!
[15:10] Kiri
    Mina! Blaze!
[15:14] Mina
    They're your cards!
[15:17] Victor
    To get my time back,
[15:20] Victor
    and to ensure that you can never toy
    with anyone's emotions again...
[15:25] Victor
    On my name, Victor Putin
    the Chronos Ruler...
[15:29] Victor
    I will defeat you!
[15:32] Aiks
    Defeat me?
[15:34] Aiks
    Now that I've spit up this town's time,
[15:38] Aiks
    I feel exceptionally good.
[15:41] Aiks
    Even if all of you attack me at once,
[15:44] Aiks
    your odds of defeating me are zero percent!
[15:52] Victor
    There is no gamble with a
    100 percent chance of victory!
[15:56] Aiks
    Their fear is gone?
[16:05] Blaze
    Hey, is that all you know how to do?!
[16:11] Mina
    Now! Knock him out before
    his arms regenerate!
[16:18] Aiks
    I can't understand it.
[16:20] Aiks
    Humans invariably feel fear
    in the face of death.
[16:24] Aiks
    So why do they feel no fear now?
[16:28] Aiks
    Oh, of course!
SIGN    Gastas Evil
[16:32] Aiks
    They don't fear their deaths enough yet!
[16:39] Victor
    Kiri!
[16:47] Kiri
    Just touching his wings did that?
[16:50] Victor
    Kiri, get back!
[16:53] Aiks
    My wings are made of a dissolving liquid.
[16:57] Aiks
    By simply touching an object,
    they digest it, reducing it to nothing.
[17:00] Kiri
    He can not only heal his own wounds,
    but erase anything he touches, too?
[17:05] Blaze
    That's dirty, damn it!
[17:08] Aiks
    Yes... That reaction, those expressions...
[17:12] Aiks
    It's the one emotion I understand: fear!
[17:16] Aiks
    How truly wonderful!
[17:25] [SONG] ---
    Speed Up
[17:26] Aiks
    It was a wise decision
    to target me directly.
[17:29] Aiks
    However...
[17:32] Aiks
    It is futile!
[17:34] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up
[17:34] Aiks
    You still wish to fight?
[17:36] Aiks
    I told you that it's futile!
[17:38] Victor
    Not necessarily.
[17:41] Victor
    Speed Up!
[17:44] Aiks
    What?
[17:45] Aiks
    His cards should have been digested
    once they touched me.
[17:49] Victor
    If I Speed Up my cards to their utmost limit,
    they won't be digested right away.
[17:53] Victor
    I'm used to going against the flow
    of time with Slow Down, you see.
[17:58] Aiks
    He fights with no fear of me at all?
SIGN    The Year 1860
[18:17] (Flashback) Woman
    He's a monster...
[18:18] (Flashback) Man
    Please!
[18:19] Woman
    No... No!
[18:19] (Flashback) Man
    Spare us!
[18:28] Aiks
    This is the emotion called "fear."
[18:32] Aiks
    No matter how many humans I
    eat, all I ever sense is fear.
[18:39] (Flashback) Voice
    What a glutton you are.
[18:42] (Flashback) Voice
    You understand no emotion but fear,
    nor have you any feelings yourself.
[18:47] (Flashback) Voice
    Your pure white appearance,
    just like a blank sheet of paper,
[18:53] (Flashback) Voice
    holds infinite possibilities.
[18:56] (Flashback) Voice
    I will give you the name "Aiks,"
    meaning "unknown."
[19:02] (Flashback) Voice
    Well? Will you submit to me?
[19:06] (Flashback) Voice
    I can offer you an endless supply of food
[19:09] (Flashback) Voice
    and help you understand human emotions.
[19:20] Aiks
    How many years has it been
    since I met His Majesty?
[19:27] Aiks
    No matter how many human memories I eat,
[19:30] Aiks
    I still can't understand
    any emotion but fear.
[19:33] Aiks
    Fear... The one emotion I understand...
[19:37] Aiks
    The one asset I have...
[19:39] Aiks
    And yet I can't sense any fear coming
    from the humans in front of me?
[19:45] Aiks
    It simply makes no sense!
[19:50] Kiri
    Slow Down causes the dissolving liquid
    in your wings to work more slowly.
[19:54] Kiri
    Then, the moment it passes
    through your wings...
[19:57] Kiri
    Speed Up!
[19:59] Kiri
    Blade of a Thousand Lights!
[20:03] Kiri
    Once you know the trick to beating it...
[20:06] Blaze
    Yes!
[20:09] Kiri
    Even a fool can do it.
[20:14] Blaze
    Hey! Who are you calling a fool?!
[20:16] Kiri
    Crap.
[20:18] Blaze
    I'll have you know that I—
[20:21] Victor
    Enough playing around.
[20:22] Victor
    Let's finish this now!
[20:45] Mina
    Get out of the way!
[21:02] Aiks
    In human form...
[21:04] Aiks
    My body is too fragile
    to use my full strength.
[21:10] Aiks
    So I'll show you.
[21:12] Aiks
    This is...
[21:14] Aiks
    my true form!
[21:24] Blaze
    What the hell is that?
[21:33] Aiks
    Gastas Ray!
[21:47] Kiri
    Victor!
