Villain Hard Deadline Template

Status: stub · seeded by Ch. 33

Source context

From Vault/Chapters/0033.md:

> [!evidence|ch=433] Pages 9-10 — The five-minute ultimatum
> Kuro: *'You've got five minutes.'* The hard-deadline-from-the-villain is the chapter's clock. The chapter title 'The Creeping Cat' is bonded to this five-minute clock — Kuro is *creeping toward the deadline*. Five-minute kill-clocks become a recurring Oda structural device (Kaido's 'I'll be back in five minutes,' Vegapunk's countdown, etc.); the East Blue first instance is here. See proposed [[Foreshadowing/Villain Hard Deadline Template]] (low-confidence pattern seed).
