As his school days draw to an end, Yuuki Wakura worries about his future. While lamenting the prospect of living an ordinary life, he is suddenly drawn into the world of Mato: an alternate dimension filled with dangerous monsters called Shuuki. Over the years since the existence of Mato was first confirmed, incidents of people accidentally wandering into the other world have become commonplace. To combat the threat of the Shuuki and rescue victims like Yuuki, the all-female Demon Defense Force was established. Its members have been blessed with the power of "Peaches"—Mato fruits that grant supernatural abilities only to women. Though Yuuki's situation is dire, he is saved in the nick of time by Kyouka Uzen, the chief of the Demon Defense Force's seventh unit. Despite Kyouka's impeccable skills in battle, she has long been held back by her Peach-granted ability, Slave. Slave allows Kyouka to put a living being under her control and draw out its strength, but the Shuuki that she had enslaved until now had all proven to be exceedingly weak. When Yuuki and Kyouka become surrounded by a horde of Shuuki, Kyouka resorts to something she has never tried before: using her ability on a man. To her surprise, Yuuki's slave form is much more powerful than she could have imagined. Believing the young man to be the key to unlocking her true potential, Kyouka invites Yuuki to join the Demon Defense Force, but not as a regular member.

00:00This is how I'll become.
00:16This is how I'll become.
00:21Supreme Commander. A hero.
00:25Supreme Commander. A hero.
00:31Surrounded by darkness
00:36I'm all alone again
00:39My tears fall
00:41I endure the sadness
00:44I swore I'd grasp the hope
01:00I had a dream
01:05I couldn't reach it high
01:10But I knew it would come true
01:13That's what I wished
01:15That's when you
01:18Connected with me
01:20Always looking forward
01:22Always pure
01:25I'm sure I can go with you
01:29I'll change this world
01:32Into a place of light
01:35I'll show you
01:38I'll connect with you
01:59Hey, there's something that I've been wanting to ask you.
02:13Did Yachiyo do any training to prep for today?
02:20Anything you can tell me would be great.
02:27Wake up!
02:32Yachiyo hasn't been acting any different than usual.
02:37Actually, she's been in a good mood.
02:40Guess that means she doesn't expect much, Himari.
02:45Is everyone ready?
02:48Now, let the first match...
02:51begin!
02:53Don't say I didn't warn you.
02:55You won't last a second again.
03:00Where the hell did that come from?
03:04Golden Hour!
03:07Rise by seconds!
03:15Begin!
03:17She's tired.
03:18We planned ahead in case we couldn't beat her with a single blow.
03:21Let's stick to our strategy.
03:29A gun modified for use in Mato.
03:32I knew that would be her main weapon.
03:34Leaping into the air where she's a sitting duck was a dumb move.
03:37When she starts coming down, I'll use Golden Hour to freeze time.
03:43And blaster!
03:48Do it now!
04:06Time for Golden Hour!
04:12Rewind five seconds!
04:21An airborne kick to gain momentum?
04:24She really cut it close with that one.
04:27But if I activate my ability sooner than planned,
04:31they'll be moving into my attack range when I freeze time!
04:35Golden Hour!
04:41Freeze for five seconds!
04:45No, where did it go?
04:50They're out of range.
04:52She's changing tactics on me.
05:04Yes, we made her waste her ability.
05:07Stand your ground and stick to the plan.
05:09I'll do that!
05:15Incredible! Faster than a speeding bullet!
05:18Is Himari trying to confuse her opponent?
05:21She's running circles around Yachiyo!
05:25I can feel it in my bones.
05:27I can feel how desperately Himari wants to win.
05:30As for my ultimate goal,
05:34I want to be a hero like the commander.
05:37I feel like I'll become a better version of myself if I can beat Yachiyo.
05:42I have to help her win! I'll make sure of it!
05:50Yeah, you got this!
05:52It's almost like I'm seeing devils!
06:03Yachiyo!
06:11You pathetic little brat!
06:13Nice! We threw her off balance, just like we planned!
06:19They certainly came prepared, didn't they?
06:21It's shaping up to be a good match.
06:24Do you think that Yachiyo will be okay?
06:27I assumed his servitude was reserved exclusively for Kyo.
06:31But it seems he's capable of devoting himself to a new master, too.
06:35Interesting.
06:39This man... I mean, Yuki...
06:42He's busting his ass for me more than I expected him to.
06:46I'll have to apologize for giving him such a hard time.
06:49That's just another reason why I've got to destroy Yachiyo!
06:53Golden Hour can't be activated instantaneously.
06:56The trigger is that dumb pose of hers.
06:59So depending on our position when she starts to move, it's our cue to either attack or retreat.
07:05And we can tell whether or not she already used her ability based on her behavior.
07:11If she's tired all of a sudden, it's proof that she rewound time.
07:15Then we change things up and hightail it out of there.
07:28So she can only use her ability a few more times at best.
07:31If we can make her waste it, we're guaranteed to win.
07:34I bet that's exactly what Himari is thinking right now!
07:38I've figured out her logic and her strategy.
07:41I'll drag her back home and make her life a living hell!
07:44Guess it's time to play my trap card!
07:49Feel the power of your big sister!
07:53She's going to freeze time! But we're safe in this!
07:58Prime time!
08:02Freeze for ten seconds!
08:16If it were only five, she'd be out of my attack range.
08:20But with a ten second head start, she can't escape!
08:42What just happened?
08:45Himari turned up the heat, but now she's down for the count!
08:53Prime time!
08:55By striking the ultimate pose, I double the amount of time I can control.
09:00The only downside was that it took a few seconds longer to activate.
09:06But at that distance, I knew you would try to dodge my attack.
09:10What if I made a show of getting into my majestic pose?
09:16Wow, can you believe it? Double the golden hour!
09:20That means Yachiho must have frozen time for an entire ten seconds!
09:24But how were you able...
09:28A genius such as I only gets more brilliant over time.
09:32Not including that in your calculations was your downfall!
09:51Himari threw a wrench into her opponent's plans on account of her slave's high speed maneuverability!
09:57But then, Yachiho unleashed her wild card, an ability called prime time, and turned the tables!
10:03Everything happened so fast I could barely even tell what was going on!
10:07Can the sixth squadron pull through and clinch a victory in this battle between the seconds in command?
10:13Well, Himari be alright.
10:19It ain't over yet! Stand up!
10:21Now's the time to show them what the seventh squadron's made of!
10:24Hang in there! You got this!
10:28When her learning ability acquires another that comes with a cost attached,
10:32she can't execute a skill switch until the price is paid.
10:36That's why she can't just change abilities mid-match.
10:40You need to think back to the past.
10:43You were never up to snuff when it was something important.
10:47This time is no different.
10:50You don't have a way to counter prime time.
10:53Just give up and concede.
10:59Is it happening again?
11:01Were all my efforts in vain?
11:04Hey!
11:06You know she's trying to psych us out, right?
11:09Yuki!
11:11Look at your sister's face.
11:13That ability took a toll on her.
11:15She's exhausted. She probably can't use it again.
11:22What's happening when we're this close to victory?
11:25I'd be ashamed if my master did something that stupid.
11:28You're clearly running out of steam as well.
11:31And you've got a smart mouth for a damn slave.
11:37I'll punish you when this is over!
11:41She's up!
11:43It looked like the end of the line for Himari, but she's back on her feet again!
11:48Could we be approaching the grand finale at last?
11:51Hell yeah!
11:54She managed to stand up.
12:00No more of this shameful behavior.
12:02You don't want to embarrass your commander.
12:04I could easily freeze time again.
12:06And staying strong and fighting to the finish?
12:10It's never considered shameful for the seventh squadron.
12:14I thought breaking her spirit now would make it easy to train her later.
12:18But do what we practiced.
12:20You got it!
12:21Golden Hour!
12:28I can't see! But I already struck a pose!
12:31Rewind five seconds!
12:34It's time to end this!
12:37What?
12:42I can't see Himari!
12:45No!
13:13I had no idea that you were so desperate.
13:23Can it be?
13:38It's all over!
13:41Himari Azuma is the winner!
13:43That's one point for the seventh squadron!
13:46They used the flash and smoke from Yuki's reverse transformation to blind her.
13:50Not bad. You two really did your research.
13:54My goodness, poor Yachi who lost the match.
13:57Let's think of it as an opportunity to learn from her mistake.
14:07Yuki!
14:08Still down!
14:11There's no need to worry.
14:21Did we beat her?
14:23Yeah, but you lost consciousness after getting shot.
14:28Ordinarily, injuries like these would be life-threatening.
14:31But since you've sustained them inside my barrier, feel heal up as good as new.
14:38There, you're all clear to move around freely.
14:43That's amazing. It's already gone.
14:48Get off!
14:49She said you're back to normal. You've got no excuse to lean on me.
14:52Hey, you don't have to be so rough! I was unconscious until 30 seconds ago!
15:01We actually did it.
15:08Now that I can relax, I feel really thirsty.
15:11Well, you did do a lot of running.
15:24Our timing on that one was absolutely perfect!
15:26I know, right?
15:32I remember you catching a nasty cold right before entrance exams, because you worked yourself too hard.
15:38I thought you were an overachiever, and you were pretty naive, but...
15:47Let's go get something to drink.
15:49I worked up a thirst too.
15:50Hold it right there!
16:06You've gotten a lot stronger. I'll admit that.
16:09I'll treat you better from now on.
16:11Are you ready to join the Azuma family again?
16:17Come back home with me, Himari.
16:21Yachiyo.
16:24The 7th Squadron is my home now.
16:29There's nothing you could say to convince me to go back.
16:35Come on, let's get out of here.
16:37Yeah.
16:38Oh my goodness.
16:39Poor Yachiyo. She's just got an unconventional way of expressing her love.
16:46Come on, let's go get you changed.
16:48There, there. You don't need to cry.
17:01Finally.
17:22What was that?
17:24Was that my reward?
17:27I guess it's starting.
17:32Let's go over the first match.
17:34Pay attention, Yachiyo.
17:38I've been told this was the little slave's first fight against a human.
17:42He knew your wounds would heal, but there's a chance he subconsciously put the brakes on his attacks.
17:48If that's true, then the first direct hit would have killed you instantly.
17:53Something to consider in the future.
17:57That's not all either.
17:59After prime time, it was foolish to allow your opponent a reprieve instead of finishing her off.
18:05Never underestimate the enemy.
18:08Okay, I understand.
18:11Now about that boy.
18:13The way he kept pushing and using himself as a decoy at the last second.
18:18That's a slave like no other.
18:24Himari's taking a long time.
18:26Should I check on her and Mr. Yuki?
18:29Oh, I wouldn't mind getting them.
18:31I worked up quite a thirst after all that cheering that we did.
18:35Your match starts soon.
18:36Be careful not to drink too much water.
18:38Copy that.
18:40Himari pulled out all the stops.
18:43I want to try and impress Yuki with my skills too.
18:49Because of you, I was able to beat her.
18:53I couldn't have done it without you.
18:56I appreciate it.
18:59Himari.
19:02I want you to know that I'm not just saying that as part of your reward.
19:10I really mean it.
19:23What was that?
19:24It wasn't my choice. I was forced to do it.
19:27I thought that was obvious.
19:28I swear to God, your reward is so obscene.
19:41Himari's got a sharp tongue.
19:44But her lips...
19:45Her lips are unbelievably soft.
19:48Wait! Hold on!
19:50Are you sure about not going back home?
19:53Positive.
19:54The commander helped me out in tough times.
19:57I'll never leave her side.
20:06Look.
20:08I know I've been kind of cruel to you.
20:12I'm sorry.
20:15Maybe boys aren't so bad.
20:21Thanks a lot, Miss Himari.
20:24Can you drop the mess?
20:25Given the circumstances, it feels weird.
20:28But kissing is the price of the ability and nothing more, so don't get the wrong idea.
20:32I'm fully aware of that!
20:44So that's what she meant by physically demanding?
20:57I'm sorry, Sahara, for losing my match.
21:01It's up to you to win.
21:05Sahara?
21:07Hey, wake up! The next round is starting soon!
21:10What the hell, Sahara?
21:11Sahara!
21:13Sahara?
21:17How do you feel?
21:20I got this, just like I always do!
21:50I'll never let go of the chain that binds us together.
22:12There are things that can't be done with effort.
22:16There are also things that can be done suddenly.
22:20But it's easy to change.
22:22A special relationship begins with your encounter.
22:28My trembling feelings and body heat.
22:32I'm sure you can feel it.
22:36One, two, three.
22:38The more I touch you, the louder the sound gets.
22:43Let go of your shoulders.
22:46Look, if we take each other's hands and overlap, it's time to protect each other.
22:52This connection, say love, say love.
22:54I'm sure it'll hurt.
22:57I'll never let go of the chain that binds us together.
23:04I'll never let go.
23:08I'll never let go.
23:38With Sahara Twinkle. Thanks for watching!
