It toki yo tomare, not wo
Rough translations
“Toki yo,” = Hey time (talking to time directly like it is a person
“toki wo tomare” = Stop time! (Command)
“toki ga tomare” = Time is stopped
“toki wo tomerou” = Let’s stop Time.
EDIT: formatting

TL;DR
It is 時よ (hey, time,) 止まれ (stop)
Like he’s talking to the physical entity of time and commanding it to stop.
