[00:01] Aisrehdar
    Is that all there is to your "true strength"?
[00:07] Victo
    A good gambler doesn't play
    his ace on the first hand.
[00:13] Victo
    As of now, it's my turn.
[00:16] Aisrehdar
    How foolish. If you use Slow Down
    on a wall of cards,
[00:20] Aisrehdar
    I only need to offset it with Speed Up!
[00:21] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up
[00:41] Mina
    So much power...
[00:43] Mina
    What's going on?
[00:44] Victo
    Well, my precious memories
    were on the line before,
[00:48] Victo
    so I never tested it.
[00:50] Victo
    But now I know.
[00:53] Victo
    This UNIQUE embedded in my chest
[00:56] Victo
    can activate both Speed Up
    and Slow Down simultaneously,
[00:59] Victo
    just like the latest Oath of Time models.
[01:02] Aisrehdar
    I see. So that's it.
[01:05] Victo
    Exactly.
[01:08] Victo
    I made a wall of Slowed Down cards,
SIGN    Slow Down x 1000
[01:10] Victo
    and hid some Sped Up cards behind them.
[01:15] Victo
    Your Speed Up tore down my
    Slowed Down wall of cards,
[01:15] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up
[01:20] Victo
    but the cards behind them were even
    further Sped Up by your power.
[01:21] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up x 500 x 1000
[01:23] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up x 500000
[01:26] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up x 500000
[01:26] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up x 500000
[01:26] Victo
    And the result was the blast you just saw.
[03:04] Blaze
    Your Oath of Time is an old model!
[03:07] Blaze
    Sucks that you can't have Speed Up and Slow
    Down active at the same time, doesn't it?!
[03:13] Blaze
    Very nice! I love it!
[03:15] Blaze
    Being a villain feels so great!
[03:18] Blaze
    Time to finish this!
[03:30] Kiri
    You take pleasure in hurting others.
[03:33] Kiri
    Is that why you call yourself a villain?
[03:36] Kiri
    You really are simple-minded.
[03:40] Blaze
    Huh? Hurting others?
[03:42] Blaze
    There's a lot more to my evil than that!
[03:46] Blaze
    Okay, then. I'll tell you a little story.
[03:52] Blaze
    Once upon a time, in a small village,
    there lived two children.
[03:59] Blaze
    Boy A was a good, kind boy
[04:01] Blaze
    who always tried to help others.
[04:03] (Flashback) BoyA
    Think nothing of it, ma'am.
[04:06] (Flashback) BoyA
    I just want to help
    everyone as much as I can.
[04:09] Blaze
    All the villagers liked him
[04:11] Blaze
    and felt sure he'd have a bright future.
[04:15] Blaze
    Boy B, on the other hand, was mean and nasty.
[04:19] Blaze
    He spent every day making mischief
    and bullying weaker children.
[04:22] Blaze
    He was a nuisance to everyone.
[04:24] Blaze
    Naturally, the villagers
    quickly gave up on Boy B.
[04:28] Blaze
    But...
[04:32] (Flashback) BoyA
    Hey, you shouldn't do that.
[04:39] (Flashback) BoyA
    It seems like it's hurting
    you more than anyone else.
[04:43] Blaze
    The soft-hearted Boy A tried
    to straighten out Boy B.
[04:49] Blaze
    But B only felt disgusted by
    A's abnormally virtuous nature.
[04:56] Blaze
    Then, one night,
[04:58] Blaze
    B called A out with him and
    led him into the fields...
[05:21] Blaze
    Then he burned down the windmill,
    right before A's eyes!
[05:30] Blaze
    Both boys were found at the scene,
    and the villagers were furious.
[05:34] (Flashback) Man
    Honestly, you again?
[05:37] (Flashback) Woman
    There's just no helping you.
[05:40] Blaze
    But it wasn't B who took
    the brunt of their anger.
[05:44] (Flashback) Woman
    How could you do something so terrible?
[05:47] Blaze
    It all fell on A, who was innocent.
[05:49] (Flashback) Woman
    You pretended to be a good boy to fool us!
[05:53] (Flashback) BoyA
    No!
[05:54] (Flashback) Man
    He can't be trusted at all.
[05:56] (Flashback) Woman
    What a wretched child!
[05:57] (Flashback) BoyA
    I was just...
[06:00] (Flashback) BoyA
    Why?
[06:03] (Flashback) BoyA
    Why won't you believe me?!
SIGN    I Was Always a Good Boy
[06:08] (Flashback) Woman
    You are nothing but lying scum!
[06:19] Blaze
    And so, A learned just
    how unfair this world is.
[06:23] Blaze
    A single incident staged to draw suspicion
    canceled out a lifetime of virtue.
[06:28] Blaze
    In fact, everyone thought all
    his good deeds had been a lie,
[06:32] Blaze
    making their disappointment
    and hatred even greater.
[06:37] Blaze
    From that day forth, Boy A decided
[06:40] Blaze
    to become the most evil villain in the world!
[06:45] Blaze
    Being evil means I don't have
    to be tied down by anyone!
[06:50] Blaze
    I am free!
[06:58] Blaze
    Did I take it too far this time?
[07:01] Blaze
    With luck, he might barely be aliv—
[07:06] Kiri
    So you're still dragging childhood
    trauma around with you?
[07:10] Kiri
    Now I understand. You've always been
[07:13] Kiri
    simple-minded.
[07:15] Blaze
    You hardened the water using Slow Down,
[07:17] Blaze
    then used Speed Up to launch it at me?
[07:19] Blaze
    Isn't your Oath of Time an old model?!
[07:22] Blaze
    How can you use Speed Up and
    Slow Down simultaneously?!
[07:26] Kiri
    Did you think I wouldn't
    have made preparations
[07:29] Kiri
    before coming to a seedy place like this?
[07:40] (Flashback) Kiri
    Forgive me.
[07:46] Kiri
    I swapped my Oath of Time
[07:48] Kiri
    with the newer model that Mina had.
[07:52] Kiri
    My intention was to limit her
    power if it became necessary,
[07:57] Kiri
    but it proved useful in ways I didn't expect.
[08:08] Blaze
    Now that's fun! That's really damn fun!
[08:10] Blaze
    It's been ages since I got
    to play a game this exciting!
SIGN    True Rain of a Thousand Camps
[08:31] Kiri
    Isn't the destructive power of a water blade
    solidified with Slow Down incredible?
[08:36] Kiri
    Fire can't be solidified like water,
    after all, since it isn't a physical object.
[08:41] Kiri
    You can't defend against it.
[08:43] Blaze
    Not half bad.
[08:45] Blaze
    Defeating you will bring me a step closer
    to being the most evil villain in the world!
[08:50] Kiri
    Stubborn fool!
[08:54] Blaze
    Speed Up!
[08:54] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up
[08:55] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up
[09:00] Kiri
    If his Speed Up surpasses
    my Slow Down in strength,
[09:03] Kiri
    my blade of solidified water will evaporate.
[09:06] Kiri
    He's strong!
[09:08] Kiri
    Is one's power as a Chronos Ruler
    proportionate to the strength of his will?
[09:12] Kiri
    The best Slow Down I can
    manage right now is 1/2,700.
[09:16] Kiri
    But the strength of his will
    clearly surpasses that!
[09:20] Kiri
    I'm running low on spare water.
[09:23] Kiri
    What do I do?
[09:26] Blaze
    My ambition is to become
    the world's #1 villain!
[09:29] Blaze
    What about you?
[09:31] Blaze
    I won't ever lose to a guy
    who doesn't even have a goal!
[09:36] Kiri
    A goal...
[09:43] Kiri
    I do have one!
[09:47] Kiri
    Victor's time...
[09:49] Kiri
    To get his time back is my goal!
[09:52] Kiri
    To achieve that, I'll take down
    any enemy standing in my path!
[09:58] Blaze
    You're in this for someone else?
[10:00] Blaze
    You can't beat me with
    sanctimonious drivel like that!
[10:03] Kiri
    It's not for him!
[10:05] Kiri
    There are a million things
    I want to say to him.
[10:08] Kiri
    But I'm the only one who remembers any of it.
[10:13] Kiri
    They're all memories he's lost.
[10:16] Kiri
    Right now, even though Victor is my father,
[10:19] Kiri
    he's a complete stranger to me!
[10:28] Blaze
    Your father?
[10:30] Blaze
    Victor is your father?
[10:32] Kiri
    A villain like you wouldn't understand
[10:35] Kiri
    what it's like when your own father's age
    regresses until he's become a total stranger.
[10:40] Kiri
    No, someone who means
    even less to you than that!
[10:48] Blaze
    What the hell, man?
[10:50] Blaze
    I didn't know you had such a tragic past!
[10:53] Kiri
    Huh?
[10:55] Blaze
    Master's such an idiot.
[10:57] Blaze
    She didn't tell me anything about that!
[11:00] Kiri
    A-Are you... crying?
[11:03] Blaze
    Moron! Villains don't cry!
[11:05] Blaze
    This is sweat! I'm just hot
    from controlling all that fire!
[11:09] Blaze
    Anyway, I get it now!
[11:10] Blaze
    The bad guy making you suffer is the
    Horologue that devoured Victor's time, right?
[11:14] Blaze
    I'll beat up that jerk and
    become more evil than it is!
[11:18] Blaze
    For you... no, for the sake of my ambition,
    I'll kill that Horologue!
[11:24] Blaze
    So don't let anyone else
    beat you until then, okay?
[11:27] Blaze
    I'm the only one who's
    allowed to pick on you!
[11:31] Kiri
    He's...
[11:33] Kiri
    ...really still the good kid, Boy A.
[11:38] Blaze
    That settles it!
[11:40] Blaze
    Starting today, you're my little brother!
[11:42] Kiri
    Huh?!
[11:43] Blaze
    We're blood brothers!
[11:45] Blaze
    Starting today, I'm gonna look
    after you as your big brother!
[11:49] Kiri
    Are you nuts?
[11:50] Blaze
    I'm serious!
[11:51] Kiri
    Look, I don't even care.
[11:54] Kiri
    If you're not going to fight anymore,
    then get out of my way.
[11:57] Kiri
    I don't have time to play
    along with your weird jokes.
[12:02] Kiri
    Your master is trying
    to kill Victor right now.
[12:06] Blaze
    Huh? What're you talking about?
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[12:10] Blaze
    The master never had any
    intention of killing Victor.
[12:13] Kiri
    What?
[12:14] Blaze
    In fact, she's probably repairing
    his broken UNIQUE right now.
[12:19] Blaze
    Of course, if she learned while fighting him
[12:24] Blaze
    that he's not worthy of UNIQUE,
[12:26] Blaze
    I can't guess what'll happen to him.
[12:30] Blaze
    H-Hey! You okay, Little Bro?!
[12:33] Blaze
    Who did this to—
[12:35] Blaze
    Oh, right. I did.
[12:38] Blaze
    What do I do? Actually... wait...
[12:41] ---
    
[12:43] ---
    
[13:00] Victo
    Well? Is that all there is
    to your "true strength"?
[13:09] Victo
    Ace Shield!
[13:11] Aisrehdar
    Do you think the same trick
    will work on me again?
[13:13] Aisrehdar
    Speed Up!
[13:13] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up
[13:14] Aisrehdar
    Slow Down!
SIGN    Slow Down
[13:16] Aisrehdar
    Shallow tactics like that will
    only lead to your pointless death.
[13:19] Aisrehdar
    Maybe you really aren't good enough
    to be entrusted with UNIQUE.
[13:27] Aisrehdar
    Why aren't they falling?
[13:29] Aisrehdar
    I offset the Speed Up effect on his cards!
[13:36] Aisrehdar
    What's the meaning of this?
[13:38] Victo
    You were convinced that I'd used
    the same move a second time.
[13:42] Victo
    By then, you were already caught in my trap.
[13:46] Victo
    Not all of the cards I used were Sped Up.
[13:50] Victo
    It applies what I explained earlier.
[13:52] Victo
    Normal cards with nothing done to them were
    layered over some of the Sped Up cards.
[13:57] Victo
    When you used Slow Down on those,
SIGN    Slow Down
[13:59] Victo
    the Sped Up cards were offset and fell,
SIGN    Slow Down
SIGN    Slow Down
[14:02] Victo
    but the normal cards were
    Slowed Down and held in place.
[14:07] Victo
    In other words, the cards
    holding you in place
[14:10] Victo
    were Slowed Down by you yourself.
[14:14] Victo
    And there's one other thing I've learned.
[14:17] Victo
    Your ability to control time is powerful,
[14:19] Victo
    but its area of effect is very small.
[14:22] Victo
    Three meters at most, I'd say.
[14:26] Victo
    In other words, as long as I
    don't go near you, I'm safe.
[14:30] Victo
    Oh, and while I'm at it, I should warn you...
[14:33] Victo
    That chain of cards holding you in place
[14:35] Victo
    have been Sped Up or Slowed Down at random.
[14:38] Victo
    If you can't tell which is which,
    you're better off just staying still.
[14:42] Victo
    Now... I have five cards left.
[14:46] Victo
    But...
[14:48] Victo
    They're the strongest hand,
    a royal straight flush.
[14:51] ---
    Darling!
[14:53] Victo
    Do you still want to continue this fight?
[14:56] Victo
    If you want to fold, now's the time.
[14:59] Aisrehdar
    It's true that a royal straight
    flush is the strongest hand.
[15:03] Aisrehdar
    But...
[15:05] Aisrehdar
    That's nothing more than
    a rule you humans made up!
[15:09] Aisrehdar
    Speed Up!
[15:17] Victo
    She's gone.
[15:19] Victo
    Did she force the chain to
    break with a super Speed Up?
[15:22] Victo
    But if she did, the Sped Up cards
    should've ripped her body apart, too.
[15:28] Aisrehdar
    In my veins flows the blood
    of the god Chronos.
[15:31] Victo
    Where is she?!
[15:32] Aisrehdar
    All things in creation are under my control.
[15:41] Aisrehdar
    Flowers, wind, grass, rain...
[15:46] Victo
    How is she so fast?
[15:47] Victo
    My eyes can't even follow her!
[15:49] Aisrehdar
    All things prostrate themselves before me,
[15:52] Aisrehdar
    and all commands I give them are absolute.
[15:55] Aisrehdar
    That includes even the cells in my own body.
[16:00] Victo
    She used Speed Up on herself?!

[16:38] [SONG] Text
    Coiled Dragon Twister
[16:59] Mina
    Darling!
[17:06] Aisrehdar
    You're more resilient than I thought.
[17:09] Aisrehdar
    To think you avoided my
    finishing blow in your state.
[17:13] Victo
    You blew my mind.
[17:16] Victo
    I can't believe you can control
    your own body's components.
[17:20] Victo
    No wonder you call yourself a god.
[17:24] Victo
    And if you're a god,
    I need to pay my respects.
[17:28] Aisrehdar
    You still wish to resist me?
[17:31] Victo
    Feel free to think of it
    as struggling in vain.
[17:34] Victo
    Either way, this will be the last game.
[17:42] Victo
    These are the four cards I have showing.
[17:47] Victo
    What's this? I'm one ace short
    of my royal straight flush.
[17:51] Victo
    Where did I put my trump card?
[17:57] Aisrehdar
    I won't fall for that.
[17:59] Aisrehdar
    Drawing my attention to
    a major miscalculation,
[18:03] Aisrehdar
    or "misdirection," is a
    basic magician's technique.
[18:06] Aisrehdar
    The longer I listen to you,
    the deeper I fall into your trap...
[18:11] Aisrehdar
    In which case I need only finish
    you off before you finish.
[18:15] Victo
    You're supposed to listen until
    people are finished talking!
[18:18] Victo
    For a god, you're awfully impatient.
[18:21] Aisrehdar
    Just keep talking.
[18:22] Aisrehdar
    Speed Up!
[18:25] Victo
    One, two...
[18:30] Victo
    Damn it!
[18:31] Victo
    One, two...
[18:34] Aisrehdar
    What's wrong? Finished already?
[18:39] Aisrehdar
    This wouldn't have been enough
    to deadlock you back in the day.
[18:44] Aisrehdar
    What a shame.
[18:46] Aisrehdar
    I supposed you aren't fit to
    possess UNIQUE, after all.
[18:50] Victo
    One, two... three!
SIGN    Slow Down
[19:00] Aisrehdar
    He Slowed Down my right hand?!
[19:03] Aisrehdar
    How can a human control part of my body?
[19:07] Aisrehdar
    Inconceivable!
[19:11] Victo
    Her speed after using that
    super Speed Up on herself
[19:13] Victo
    is probably several times faster
    than the speed of sound.
[19:17] Victo
    It's impossible to track with
    a human's reaction speed.
[19:21] Victo
    So what I need to do
[19:24] Victo
    is make it look like I'm controlling
    her time, and her body itself.
[19:30] Victo
    The brief opening that gives me
[19:33] Victo
    might not even amount to half a second.
[19:36] Victo
    But...
[19:44] Victo
    It's more than enough time
    to finish this fight.
[19:58] Aisrehdar
    So that's it.
[20:01] Aisrehdar
    My right hand, my body itself,
[20:04] Aisrehdar
    wasn't under your control at all.
[20:07] Aisrehdar
    It was just the effect of
    your Slowed Down cards.
[20:10] Aisrehdar
    Mere fragments of ripped ones, at that.
[20:14] Victo
    Exactly.
[20:17] Victo
    I planted them in your right arm
    when you went for the final strike.
[20:22] Victo
    Even in pieces, they're still
    cards under my control.
[20:29] Victo
    All that was left was to activate
    Slow Down at the right instant.
[20:33] Victo
    It wasn't as easy as I make it sound, though.
[20:37] Victo
    It's pointless if I'm too far from you,
[20:39] Victo
    but coming too close will get me killed.
[20:42] Victo
    This battle was literally
    fought on a hair's breadth.
[20:45] Victo
    Thankfully, though your attacks
    were fast, they were monotonous.
[20:48] Victo
    In that sense, luck was on my side.
[20:53] Victo
    That's why it's in your best interest to
    listen until people are finished talking.
[20:59] Victo
    Didn't I tell you at the start?
[21:02] Victo
    The ace is my trump card.
[21:08] Victo
    So, I guess our showdown is over now.
[21:11] Mina
    Darling!
[21:17] Aisrehdar
    If Victor hadn't stopped his
    hand on that last attack,
[21:22] Aisrehdar
    it unquestionably would have killed me.
[21:28] Aisrehdar
    Very well.
[21:29] Aisrehdar
    I acknowledge that you are
    worthy of possessing UNIQUE.
[21:43] Aisrehdar
    Welcome home,
[21:46] Aisrehdar
    Victor.
