"F-f-f-freezing space and time? Wait, what does that even mean? Oh! Maybe she's just moving so fast that everything else looks frozen!"
Inosuke from the Demon Slayer world lit up with sudden inspiration, shouting his guess with wild confidence.
"No, boar boy. It means exactly what it says." Rengoku's expression was a mix of awe and disbelief. "That woman—Esdeath—actually stopped the flow of time itself. In that instant, only she could move!"
Tanjiro, Muichiro, Zenitsu, Sanemi… everyone's faces mirrored the same stunned disbelief.
A human… stopping time? That shouldn't even be possible.
"Oi oi oi! How's that fair?! It's supposed to be an ice ability—how the hell does it turn into time-freezing?! That's cheating!"
From the world of KonoSuba, Kazuma yelled in protest.
Moments later, he was banging his fists on the ground, tears streaming down his face."Damn it, I want that power too!"
"Time-stop powers, huh? Ehehe… I like those."
In Mushoku Tensei, Rudeus's face twisted into a suspiciously pervy grin.
"Focus, you idiot!" he quickly scolded himself. "This is bad! Tatsumi and the others are screwed!"
"What a terrifying woman," Reborn muttered gravely in the Reborn! world. "She took an ordinary freezing ability and elevated it to the point of halting time itself. That's… astonishing."
"Boss, this Esdeath chick's insane!" said Xia Dou from Ling Cage, wide-eyed. "She's like a walking cheat code!"
"Yeah…" White Moon Kui, usually calm and unshakable, couldn't hide her awe either. "Every other Imperial Arms user seems… normal by comparison. But her? She's on a completely different level. Her ice was already the pinnacle of power—now she's literally raised the ceiling again."
"In her world, Esdeath's like Yoriichi from the Demon Slayer world," Daoist Wang from Yi Ren Zhi Xia said solemnly. "Both stand alone at the very top."
Over in Fairy Tail, Natsu smirked and elbowed Gray. "So, Gray, that Esdeath woman can freeze time. What about you? Can your ice even compare?"
Gray's face flushed bright red. "Shut up! Like it's any of your business!"
It's said that comparisons are the root of misery—and right now, Gray was feeling that full force. Even his master, the legendary Ice Mage Ur, couldn't dream of something this absurd.
"Freezing time itself… is the Ice Release really capable of that level?" Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, gasped in the Naruto world. Then her face twisted with bitterness. "Damn the Akatsuki… damn the Bloody Mist!"
They'd once had Ice Release users in the Hidden Mist—but those days were long gone.
...
Across the seas of another world—
The One Piece Navy headquarters erupted in chaos.
"Freezing time with ice? That's cheating!""Way over the top!""Even Admiral Kuzan couldn't pull something like that off, right?""Eh… maybe he could?"
Marines everywhere buzzed in disbelief.
"Kuzan," Garp grunted, side-eyeing him. "You got some secret move like that hidden away?"
Aokiji gave a weak laugh. "No way, old man. You're giving me too much credit. Freezing time? That's way out of my league."
"Fufufu! Mere time-stop? My ability's better!" boasted Silver Fox Foxy. "I can extend time by thirty seconds! Hah!"
Meanwhile, in the Date A Live world—
"Time-stop, huh? My, my… what a coincidence," Kurumi Tokisaki purred, her smile twisting into a delightfully deranged grin. "We're kindred spirits, Miss Esdeath."
And in the Touhou world—
"I didn't expect there to be someone else who shares my power," murmured Sakuya Izayoi, the Scarlet Devil Mansion's elegant maid, her eyes glittering.
Over in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure—
"Time stop? Hah! Za Warudo!" DIO threw his head back, laughing madly. "My Stand is the ultimate time-stop ability!"
Back in Akame ga Kill!'s world—
The entire Night Raid stared at Esdeath in horror.
"She can freeze time?! How the hell are we supposed to fight that?!" Lubbock clutched his head in panic. "Boss and the others are done for!"
"Idiot!" Mine snapped, smacking him on the head. "Don't start whining until it's over!"
"Wait! Susanoo's still alive!" Tatsumi suddenly shouted, eyes blazing.
Under the gaze of countless watchers across all worlds, the hopeless situation shifted—Najenda's Imperial Arms, Susanoo, manifested his spirit for a third and final time.
Burning through his own life force, his core reignited—fully regenerated.
But it wouldn't last. Even with this, hurting Esdeath would be nearly impossible.
"Remember why we're here," Susanoo said calmly. "Go, Tatsumi. I've lived as an Imperial Arms for a thousand years. I've never been this happy. I have no regrets. Farewell."
With those last words, he threw himself between Esdeath and his comrades, burning everything he had left.
"So you'll sacrifice yourself just to buy your friends time?" Esdeath murmured. "Najenda's subordinates really are a bunch of sentimental fools."
"I'm not a weapon anymore," Susanoo said softly. "I'm a warrior."
"Susanoo… I'll remember your name." Esdeath drew her blade in solemn respect.
Even she—his enemy—couldn't deny his honor.
Across the multiverse, people fell silent.
For once, they weren't cheering. They were moved.
"Even if he's an Imperial Arms, his spirit, his faith… that's human," Toriko said, standing up. "If I could, I'd share a drink with that guy."
"Waaaaah! What a man!" Elfman from Fairy Tail bawled.
"Super manly!" Franky of the Straw Hats sobbed, tears streaming everywhere.
"In every way, he's like Brand—no, his successor!" Gintoki shouted from the Gintama world. "Big bro number two, gone again!"
The crowd's support couldn't change fate.
Against Esdeath's overwhelming power, Susanoo fell.
But his mission succeeded—he'd bought his comrades time to escape.
Just as everyone thought the tragedy had ended… the knife twisted deeper.
Mine fell next.
Her duel with General Budo had drained everything she had. Under the setting sun, she finally confessed her feelings to Tatsumi—smiling softly before collapsing in his arms.
Night Raid's ten had become four.
The multiverse went silent.
Everyone had expected some deaths. No one had expected this many.
And the blade still wasn't done.
On the eve of the final battle—
Sisters Akame and Kurome faced each other at last.
Kurome, smiling faintly, whispered, "Dying in my sister's arms… isn't so bad."
"Kurome!!!" Akame sobbed, fists clenched, tears falling unchecked.
Najenda rested a hand on her shoulder. "Don't lose hope, Akame. There's still a chance to change everything."
Akame's entire journey—every mission, every battle—had been for this: to save her sister's soul.
"Here we go," said Bulat's old comrade, taking a deep breath. "The final battle begins."
The last mission of Night Raid—To destroy the corrupt heart of the Empire: Minister Honest!
The camera shifted.
The Revolutionary Army's million troops surged toward the capital.
And standing in their path was one woman—Esdeath—commanding an army of ice soldiers she'd forged herself.
One woman. One army. Against a million.
Once again, Esdeath shattered the limits of all imagination.
Just as the battle reached a deadlock—
A new terror descended.
Whispered into madness by Minister Honest, the young Emperor unleashed the ultimate Imperial Arms—Shikō Teigu: The Supreme God of Protection!
A weapon beyond the Forty-Eight Imperial Arms. The absolute pinnacle.
A single blast of its divine cannon erased thousands in an instant.
"Holy crap! What is that thing?!""The ultimate Imperial Arms—The Supreme God of Protection!""It's even scarier than Esdeath!""Damn it, the Empire had that up their sleeve?!""That thing could wipe out a country in minutes!""How the hell do you fight that?!"
Cries of panic echoed through every world.
"This is magnificent!" Metal Knight from One Punch Man howled with glee. "What majesty! What divine engineering!"
Genos stared wide-eyed. "That power… that's dragon-level destruction, at least."
"Imperial Arms… to think their technology could reach this level," said Vegapunk in the One Piece world. "Perhaps only the ancient kingdom eight hundred years ago could compare."
"Gundam?! Is that the ultimate Gundam?!" fans in the Gundam world screamed.
"That thing's a monster," murmured Hiro from Darling in the FranXX. "There's no way we can beat that with just Strelizia."
"My Dragon Emperor from another dimension could take it," mused the Overlord of the Lolo world.
"Hah! With our Golden Fruit God of War, that thing wouldn't last a second!" bragged Lu Xiaoguo from the Fruit Armor world, crossing his arms with shining confidence.
Across the infinite worlds, countless warriors compared, calculated, and debated—but one thing was clear:
The Supreme Imperial Arms was beyond terrifying.
Right now, in the world of Akame ga Kill!—
The National Defense God Armor stood as the pinnacle of all Imperial Arms.Its destructive power was unmatched.If left unchecked, it could slaughter even an army of millions.
At this critical moment, Tatsumi, clad in the armor of the Evil Dragon Incursio, stepped forward to challenge the Supreme Imperial Arm.To any onlooker, it was suicide—like trying to stop a carriage with bare hands.Even Tatsumi knew that.
But…Some things have to be done.Someone has to take that stand.
"If you're dragging innocent people into this, what kind of emperor are you?! What kind of protector?!"Tatsumi roared, charging straight at the massive godlike machine.
"Silence! The empire, our thousand-year legacy—it will not perish under my rule!"The young emperor screamed, teetering on the edge of madness.
"Do you even know what you're doing?! Look down there!" Tatsumi shouted.
But it was too late.The emperor had lost control.Twisted by the minister's whispers, he could no longer stop himself.
The Supreme Imperial Arm's gigantic hand seized Tatsumi and slammed him hard into the ground.It raised its colossal foot, ready to crush him beneath it.
At the last possible second, Will—the noble warrior of the Jaegers—appeared in his own armor, charging in with his war chariot to pull Tatsumi to safety.
Two armored warriors, both driven by justice, fought side by side in that moment—to protect the people.
But before the Supreme Imperial Arm, their combined strength was still… far too small.
The emperor's blood-red energy beams rained down again and again, blasting them back each time.Finally, Will's armor began to crack—he couldn't hold it any longer. The noble armor dissolved away, leaving him defeated.
But…
Tatsumi still hadn't given up.Even though Incursio was battered and broken,even though his body underneath was torn and bleeding,he refused to stop fighting.
"Don't underestimate me! I've faced so much pain, and I've carried it all! The will of my friends—there's no way I'll let it be in vain!"
Incursio…
Evil Dragon Armor!!!
Tatsumi's roar burned from the depths of his soul.And then, the ancient life sealed within the armor responded—it evolved.
From the heart of the explosion, a blinding golden figure shot into the sky.Twin wings, radiant as molten gold, unfurled in the light.
Golden Incursio Tatsumi—has arrived!
At that moment—
"Wooooahhh!!!"Across the heavens and countless worlds, cheers erupted.
"Golden armor?! That's awesome!!"Luffy's eyes sparkled like stars.
"Tatsumi broke through his limits with his own burning spirit… that's incredible!"Tanjiro shouted, tears streaming down his face.
"The will to protect… the will of the fallen… all their strength fused into this evolution!"Gojo murmured in awe.
"Go for it!""Tatsumi!""This is it—the final stand!""Take down the Supreme Imperial Arm!""You can do it now!""This is your moment—burn everything you've got!"
Naruto, Natsu, Ash, Tsuna, Toriko, Gon, Inuyasha, Kyoko, Rukia, Lolo…Every hot-blooded hero across the multiverse shouted together, lending their voices, their spirit.
Through the rain of crimson energy beams, the Golden Incursio blazed like a shooting star.With unmatched speed and power, Tatsumi struck the Supreme Imperial Arm's weak point dead-on.
"Uwaaaaahhh!"
With a thunderous roar that shook the heavens,Golden Incursio Tatsumi pierced through the Supreme Imperial Arm!
BOOM!Rumble—rumble—
The National Defense God Armor collapsed.
The Supreme Imperial Arm—has fallen!
"..."
