Zaman

Zaman is a time-travelling collector and the main antagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! 4D Love Surpassing Time.

Appearance
Zaman has teal-colored hair with two bangs resembling clock hands, as well as silver eyes. His attire consists of light blue-colored armor covering his legs and upper body overtop a dark blue bodysuit trimmed with white. Two large clocks are on his wrists, which he calls watches, and he wears light blue boots. A device on his back has two clock hands that spin clockwise, the smaller hand moving slower.

In the brief period he is seen as Zeke Driscoll, he is wearing the male's school uniform from his school, consisting of a blue jacket with red trim, a white shirt underneath, gray pants, and black shoes.

Personality
At first glance, Zaman is a calm person, but he is actually quite arrogant towards others as they will continue to age while he lives on. He treats the women he takes as important collectables, keeping them in cases to protect them as disliking anyone who tries to touch them. Truthfully, however, he is a lonely person who only takes women so he can feel like he belongs somewhere. He cares deeply for the females that hung around him, as do they. After his loss, he has a moment of guilt before being assures that the girls themselves care about him as friends (one of which more than this), and agrees to be a better person.

The Change
Zaman was once ordinary Zeke Driscoll until he stumbled into a dimension where time does not flow. Touching a powerful artifact in the dimension, he was granted control over the flow of time, as well as freezing him at his 16-year-old age, giving him eternal life and youth. Renaming himself Zaman, he remained within this dimension, travelling through many different time periods just for fun. However, he harbored a feeling of. Using his abilities, he travelled back to his original time period and froze the girls that socialized more with him, taking them back with him to the time dimension. He continuously did this, freezing women of multiple age groups, amassing so many of them that he considered himself to be "collecting" them rather than kidnapping them.

The Ultimate Conquest
One day, Zaman set his sights on four females that capivated him more than any others:, , , and. However, he was so intent on taking them that he made the critical mistake of taking Tea when she and were on a date, as it resulted in a chase that allowed Yugi to follow Zaman through his own time-travel portal. Zaman quickly re-routed the portal to outside his Time-Slow Security System, which would slow the intruder down until they were completely stuck in time. Believing Yugi to have failed, Zaman throws him through another portal not caring where he lands, before going through another portal to find the next female. By sheer coincidence, the time period where Alexis is was the same time period that he threw Yugi into. He ambushed Alexis and froze her in time, taking her back with him to his dimension, not thinking that could follow with a weak portal. Landing in the 5D's timeline, he freezes Akiza at an unspecified moment, then appears before, who is accompanied by Yugi and Jaden. He is surprised to see that they made it through, but tells them that they are too late to stop them, showing off that he has Akiza as well. He remarks that he only has "one to go," then jumps through into another portal. His final destination is the ZEXAL timeline, where he sees Kotori alongside. Believing Yuma to be weak, he goes for a direct approach. Yuma tries to defend Kotori, but Zaman tricks him into accepting a Duel. Before it occurs, however, Zaman knocks Yuma down by speeding his own time flow, then freezes Kotori and kidnaps her, laughing that he has made "the ulitimate conquest."

4 Against 1
Zaman places all four girls in glass cases like the rest of the female he has taken, but chooses to display them in the front so he can marvel at them easier. Confident in his Time-Slow Security System, he retreats to an inner area of the dimension. He decides to relax for a while before finding more additions to his collection, but an alarm goes off saying that the Time-Slow Security System has been breached. Zaman quickly returns to the entrance and sees that Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, and Yuma have gotten through. Noticing Yugi banging on Tea's case, he decides to take action and blasts Yugi away with an energy ball, cursing himself for leaving a portal open (even though it was really thanks to Yubel and Astral) so "rats like them could get their grubby fingerprints on his collection". Yugi, Jaden, Yusei, and Yuma try to convince him that he should release the women because of what they left behind, who is missing them, and how heartless he is being. Zaman refuses to listen, wondering why he should care about those other people when they will wither and die anyways. He states that he will not give the women up without a fight, and challenges them to a 4-VS-1 Duel for their freedom. His Time Hold on the girls malfunctions partway through the Duel, allowing Tea, Alexis, Akiza, and Kotori to watch and cheer them on.

Zaman's Downfall
Despite the early lead he gets from his Deck, Zaman eventually loses the Duel against the four of them. Reluctantly, he keeps his word and releases Tea, Alexis, Akiza, and Kotori from their cases, reuniting them with their loved ones. Zaman slowly walks off, unnoticed by them, and goes to where the other women are kept. Feeling guilty over what he did, he creates multiple portals that send each of them back to their own time periods, silently apologizing to them all for taking them. The only ones he doesn't send back are the girls he knows, who are shocked to see him in his current state. Zaman then goes back to the entrance, creating more time portals to allow the the eight protagonists to return home, and apologizes to them all before deciding that he will never again leave the time dimension, so that no one will be troubled by him again. He is told that even if he doesn't leave, he was always trouble someone because someone will be worried about him. At first, Zaman doesn't believe it, but the girls he took from his own time period confess that they were worried about him when he vanished, and that all of their friends were too. Zaman reminds them that he was a large-scale kidnapper, but then he realizes that he sent everyone back to the same time they were taken, so no one would even know they were missing. Greatly relieved, Zaman thanks everyone for forgiving him and promises to never misuse his abilities again. He agrees to take his friends on a voyage through time, showing them what he has seen. He bids the protagonists farewell as they return home, then leaves through another portal with his new friends and girlfriend.

Decks
Zaman plays a Turn Delay Deck, utilizing powerful cards that require a long amount of the owner's turns to use properly. He supplements this with his Dimensional Clock Field Spell, which not only counts every turn as his own, but gives him Hour Counters to speed up the turn count.
