Time (タイム, Taimu) is the Concept-Type UMA that embodies the concept of time and the flow of time. He is also known as the "Seventh Master Rule UMA" and occupies the seventh seat in the Master Room.
Appearance[]
He appears as an old man equipping a full suit wearing a black fedora on his head. He has a full beard and moustache, and is seen holding a cane in his right hand when sitting down. When not actively involved, he is portrayed looking at his pocket watch.
When Time reaches Phase 3, his appearance drastically rejuvenates (the opposite of his aging power). His hair grows longer, and his outfit also changes to a black vest with a shirt underneath and black pants. Also hanging from Time's neck are two necklaces, one with an hourglass and the other with four pocket watches, each showing a different time. Two more giant pocket watches can be found hanging from his hips. Only his black fedora, however, remains exactly the same.
Personality[]
He seems to have a relatively serious personality, however it is shown that he has a desire to leave the Master Room when the opportunity arises. He also acknowledges himself as an "Old Fogy", and is confident in his fighting capabilities.
Unlike Beast, Time does not see the Master Rules as God's way of making humans suffer, but as a way to make human behavior more interesting and to force humans into action in God's designed game.
Plot[]
Like all other UMAs, Time was created by God at the beginning of the loops, when he began adding rules to the newly created world to test humans. According to himself, he was created to introduce panic and the hope to grow in a limited amount of time.
Sick Arc[]
When Fuuko enters the Master Room, he is seen looking at his pocket watch. During the events that occur, he keeps quiet and do not interfere.
Unstoppable Arc[]
On September 30th 2015, Apocalypse calls the Master Room in order to get Master Rule representatives for the next quests, stating he needs a minimum of 2 Master Rules to participate and gives them 3 minutes to decide who will go. He along with all the other Master Rules wish to be representatives, before Andy begins to attack the Master Room.
After Andy uses Vortex Bullet and Soul Chain to disable Change from interfering in the battle, Time appears and mentions how he is "itching for a trip outside" before asking Andy to stand aside. After saying this, he then snaps his fingers, activating a move called "Time Defense" which is seen slowing Andy's body movements down dramatically. After War activates his Genocide Weapons, Andy uses his Soul Chain to capture almost every Master Rule, including Time. Once captured, he states that he is shocked and wonders how Andy is even moving.
Abilities[]
- Time Manipulation: As a UMA embodying the very concept of time, Time can manipulate the flow of time at will, both individually and collectively. According to Andy, he was the one who caused the flow of time to accelerate, causing four months to pass in a matter of seconds and causing Apocalypse to trigger Ragnarok early.
- Time Defense: After snapping his fingers, Time slows down his opponent's subjective time, making them vulnerable to other attacks. Time uses it on Andy to prevent him from dodging or responding to attacks from other Superior Rules.
- Accelerated Aging: Using his power, Time can rapidly age his enemies, thereby sapping their physical abilities. The only one immune to this ability is the only one who can negate his rule: Unfade.
Equipment[]
- Hourglass Hammer: A weapon Time uses when he reaches Phase 3. It takes the form of a huge hourglass-shaped hammer. It is unknown how skilled Time is at using it, however.
