The Time Is Now (今がその時 Ima ga Sono Toki) is the 97th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Edens Zero.

The reversal of Drakken's life-support device unexpectedly mutates the Dark Alchemist into a mindless monster, causing chaos all throughout the building. Mere moments before Shiki meets the same fate as he did in the previous world, memories of that world begin to flash through his mind, filling him with newfound resolve and awakening his true power as the Demon King.

Summary

At the Execution Site Weisz and Shiki are wondering what Drakken turned into and what happened to him, before he moves his new limbs through the Belial Gore to attack people.

From the Edens Zero, Sister notices that Drakken's Ether is out of control, and tells Hermit that she though he was supposed to get weaker, only for the latter to confirm this thought. Hermit explains that Drakken's Ether has begun to fuse with the life force he stole from others. The two are quickly interrupted by Witch, who makes an emergency takeoff. As Sister accuses Witch of leaving Shiki and the others behind, she explains that they have another problem, the Satellite Blaze is ready to fire at Blue Garden and destroy it. Drakken appears on a screen and wants the Satellite Blaze to kill Noah, before killing his subordinates. As the Edens Zero rushes towards the Satellite Blaze, Witch tells the others to have faith in the power of the Great Demon King.

At the Life Support Device, everything is crumbling apart. When a chunk of debris is about to hit Pino, Sibir pushes her out of the way, which scares Pino, due to her past experience with his counterpart. Pino then suddently remembers something Weisz told her in World No. 29 and gets very confused, since that memory does not match her current ones. Elsewhere on the Belial Gore, Rebecca and Happy encounters a part of Drakken's mutated body, which grabs them and talks about how much he wants Rebecca's powers. Homura arrives and saves them from Drakken's grip. Back at the Execution Site, Drakken blasts both Weisz and Shiki and zaps them, before knocking them both to the ground. He then explains how killing Shiki is the key to awakening "the cat" and forms a gun which points at the young man. This cause Shiki to recall his promise to Drakken in World No. 29, which awakens his true Overdrive and he promises to never make his friends cry again.
