Time Factor

Time Factor (タイムファクター, Taimu Fakutā ^?) is the fifth opening theme of the anime World Trigger, and the opening for Season 3. It is performed by "Kami wa Saikoro wo Furanai". It first appeared on episode 86 and was proceeded by the fourth opening theme, "Force".

Overview

Similar to the previous opening, it functions as a Recap — this time, adhering in part to the series Timeline by showing highlights of previous events (alongside a few anime-only scenes drawn from Manga trivia, such as the scene featuring Ikoma Squad).

TV Size Lyrics

English

The more i hope not to lose what's most precious to me
They slip through my fingers by way of cruel fate

More means of reclaiming our stolen time and hearts i know that's what we're painfully lacking

Dark and lonely inside a mirror
The siren falls on deaf ears, I stood there watching you depart

Should be weaker than glass, A bullet should pierce through
And I pulled the trigger

There's something I need to protect the hopes of thousands that are on my shoulders
I will become the wind, and promise to reach our goal

The yearning that connects our past and present Illuminates the path to our future
Embracing our overlapping histories the light radiates brightly

Kanji

何より大切なものほど

失いたくないと願うほど
悪戯に掌をすり抜けてゆく運命

奪われた時間と心を
取り戻す為の術がまだ
足りないなんて痛いほど分かってる

鏡の中暗く寂しくて
鳴らしたって届かないサイレン
去ってゆく姿を眺めて

硝子よりも脆いはずなのに
鉛玉なら突き破れるのに
引き金を引いて

守るべきものがあって
背負う幾千の願いがあって
このまま風になって
いつか辿り着いてみせるよ

僕らの過去と現在を
繋ぐ想いが照らす未来
重なったヒストリーを抱き放つ光

Romaji

Nani yori taisetsu na mono hodo

Ushinaitakunai to negau hodo
Itazura ni tenohira wo surinukete yuku sadame

Ubawareta jikan to kokoro wo
Torimodosu tame no jutsu ga mada
Tarinai nante itai hodo wakatteru

Kagami no naka kuraku sabishikute
Narashitatte todokanai sairen
Satte yuku sugata wo nagamete

Garasu yori mo moroi hazu na no ni

Namaridama nara tsukiyabureru no ni
Hikigane wo hiite

Mamorubeki mono ga atte
Seou ikusen no negai ga atte
Kono mama kaze ni natte
Itsuka tadoritsuite miseru yo

Bokura no kako to ima wo
Tsunagu omoi ga terasu mirai
Kasanatta hisutorii wo idaki hanatsu hikari

The more i hope not to lose what's most precious to me
They slip through my fingers by way of cruel fate

More means of reclaiming our stolen time and hearts i know that's what we're painfully lacking

Dark and lonely inside a mirror
The siren falls on deaf ears, I stood there watching you depart

Should be weaker than glass, A bullet should pierce through
And I pulled the trigger

There's something I need to protect the hopes of thousands that are on my shoulders
I will become the wind, and promise to reach our goal

The yearning that connects our past and present Illuminates the path to our future
Embracing our overlapping histories the light radiates brightly

It's fake that you're willing to sacrifice to protect someone
I am swaying between good, and a greater evil

From the time i got used to loneliness, A devil is lingering around me even in my dreams
Only the moonlight guides me

Put a lid on my empty heart, and cover my injured left eye
I can disappear like this

I hope that a ray of light shines in this darkness, and I'll be surrounded by warmth so i can laugh someday

What is being passed down isn't just correctness and mistakes
But the footsteps of someone's life, smiles and tears

I have a dream to fulfill at the end of the promise
I'll become light just like this I'm sure I'll get there

Past and present, the future illuminated by the feelings of connection
Lights that embraces our overlapping history until the day we can laugh together

僕らの過去と現在を
繋ぐ想いが照らす未来
重なったヒストリーを抱き放つ光

誰かを守り抜く為なら
犠牲をも厭わないなんてフェイク
善より悪寄りの狭間で揺れ動いてる

孤独に慣れ出した時から
夢にまで憑いて回る悪魔
月明かりだけが僕を導いてくれる

空になった心に蓋して
左眼跨いだ傷痛んで
いっそこのまま消えても

この闇に一筋の光が
温もりに囲まれ
いつかまた笑えるように

語り継がれてゆくのは
正しさや過ちだけじゃなく
誰かの生きた命の足跡、笑顔と涙

叶えたい夢があって
誓い合った約束の果てに
このまま光となって
きっと辿り着いてみせるよ

僕らの過去と現在を
繋ぐ願いが照らす未来
重なったヒストリーを抱き放つ光
いつかきっと笑い合える日まで
