That is too late, sonna te ja mou oitsuke nai
That is to say...

Saisho no itte de erabu michi naru Future sono arisama This way
Saigo no itte de kimeru sekai no Answer hitori no Winner It's me

Kono me wa misueta dare mo mada mitoosenu saitekikai wo

Subete wa banjou shihai suru Game shikou no tousou
Mistake sae mo gisou shite Checkmate made fuseki to shite
King wo ubai au Game shisou to yokubou
One chance minogasanu akushu Last chance kanarazu shi tomeru
That is too late sonna te ja mou oitsuke nai
That is to say kanzen shouri wa kono te no naka ni
Darenimo mou oitsuke nai

[Full Version Continues]

Kono te wa nozonda

That is too late, you can't catch up with such a move anymore
That is to say

Choosing the unknown future with the first move, that's the way it is
Deciding the world's answer with the last move, the the only one winner, it's me

These eyes are fixed on the optimal solution that no one can yet see

It's all a game of controlling the board, a struggle of thoughts
Even mistakes are disguised as part of the strategy until checkmate
A game of seizing the king, thoughts, and desires
One chance, not missing any wrong moves, last chance, I will definitely capture it
That is too late; you can't catch up with such a move anymore
That is to say, complete victory is in these hands
No one can catch up anymore

[Full Version Continues]

Deviously luring into all kinds of traps, countless killers, warning!
Evading with instinct and rising higher, a mastered player, it's me

[thanks for visiting animesonglyrics.com]

These hands are what I desired

A race to take away everything, the ultimate competition
Start it, unequal rules, take it, overturn and seize
A race merciless to the losers, hope or despair
Showdown, the result is fate, get out, there won't be a second chance

In the shadows invisible to everyone, taking those steps more straightforwardly than anyone

It's all a game of controlling the board, a struggle of thoughts
Even mistakes are disguised as part of the strategy until checkmate
A game of seizing the king, thoughts, and desires
One chance, not missing any wrong moves, last chance, I will definitely capture it
That is too late; you can't catch up with such a move anymore
That is to say, complete victory is in these hands

It's all a game of controlling the board, a race to take away everything
No one can catch up anymore

[Correct Info]

From his earliest memories, Minoru Kagenou has been driven by an unwavering aspiration to attain unparalleled strength. Yet, his goal is not driven by a desire for recognition but rather a need to blend into the background. By day, he masquerades as an entirely average student, while under the cover of darkness, armed with a crowbar, he fearlessly crushes local biker gangs. However, when a truck accident abruptly ends his journey, Minoru's dreams appear to be shattered. In his final moments, he despairs at his powerlessness, realizing that despite his intense training, he was ultimately bound by the limitations of his humanity.

Yet, instead of meeting his demise, Minoru awakens in another world as Cid, the second child of the noble Kagenou family, where magic is a common occurrence. Finally possessing the power he had yearned for, he adopts the name "Shadow" and establishes Shadow Garden - a group dedicated to combating the mysterious Cult of Diablos, an organization born from Cid's own imagination. However, as Shadow Garden expands in both members and influence, it becomes increasingly apparent that the once-fictitious Cult of Diablos is far more real and menacing than Cid had originally envisioned.
