Jikan is a malachite-colored elemental stickman who possesses the hidden element of time. She is the fourth contender to sign up for the blessed tournament.

### Etymology

Jikan (じかん) has the literal meaning of time.

## Biography

While not much is known about her early life, Jikan works alone, in contrast to her main story counterpart. She is a bounty hunter. Nothing much is known beyond this point, but it's known that she taught Oto in similar vein to how she taught Kepler. It is also implied that she met Kurai at a certain point in time prior to the tournament.

One of the reasons Jikan joined the tournament was to kill the organizer, Arashi. She struck a deal with a cloaked Arashi, that if Jikan defeats Arashi in the tournament fairly, he would tell her where Overseer's funds were.

### The Blessed Tournament

At first, Jikan concealed her reason for entering the tournament, and went straight into the first match-up against Sura in bracket A3, in which she defeated her foe successfully. In bracket C2, Jikan went up against Arashi, in which she fought very brutally. However, Arashi successfully defeated Jikan. It's at this point in time it is revealed that Jikan has a bounty for Arashi's head, which has a very high cash reward, which Kurai is also planning to take. Oto quickly deduces that Jikan has an ulterior motive besides the bounty's promised cash reward.

Later on, she then hears that Kessho fought Arashi and won, causing her to speak to Kessho to form an alliance, to which Kessho half-heartedly agrees to. Kessho then reveals to her that both Akuma and Akumu are demons, which Jikan blames on Arashi.

In the bracket G0, Jikan and Kessho, now joined by the brothers Kemuri and Saigai along with Kurai, confront Arashi. During this, The Clarity reacts wildly to Oto's sound abilities, which causes a great calamity. Kurai cocks his gun when Jikan convinces him to spare Arashi to make him fix the calamity.

## Personality

Jikan is a very quiet stickman, choosing to think instead of speaking, and only speaks when it is necessary to communicate. She is also shown to be very secretive, hiding her hidden element and hiding her motives. Unlike her main story counterpart, she rarely shows emotion, and actively tries to seem apathetic to those around her, with the exception of Oto.

## Abilities

### Sword Mastery

Jikan is very skilled with her sword, dubbed the Breakblade. Despite this, she rarely uses her sword with her time element.

### Element: Time (Decelleration)

Jikan is an elemental born with an exceedingly rare hidden element, that being time. There are many branches of time, however, she has the power of time deceleration, which is a sub-element of time. She uses this to get around her foes to catch them by surprise, or to pose them, or to hit the foe rapidly.

## Relations

### Oto

Jikan seems to have taught Oto, similar to how she taught Kepler in the main story. Oto is the only person Jikan is willing to open up with, suggesting quite a close bond.

### Kurai

It's unknown what their relation is, but Kurai seems to trust Jikan, implying at the least, a friendship.

### Arashi

Jikan is seen to despise Arashi. She seems to know much about him and his deeds, hinting at a past.
