[00:06] Nar
    It appeared as though humanity
    would be destroyed by the demon.
[00:12] Nar
    But a single mage saved them all.
[00:17] Nar
    His name was Lumiere Silvamillion Clover.
[00:25] Nar
    He would eventually be called the first
    Wizard King, and he became a legend.

[02:06] Theresa
    What? To the royal capital again?
[02:07] Mage
    Yes. I do apologize, as I realize
    she just came back, but...
[02:12] Mage
    Here is the order.
[02:15] Theresa
    It appears to be real, but...
[02:18] Mage
    Do not worry.
[02:20] Mage
    We'll make sure she gets there safely.
[02:24] Theresa
    As soon as Marie returns from battle,
    she's summoned to the capital again?

    There's trouble. Here, look at today's paper.

    finally became a criminal!

SIGN    Gueldre Poizot
[03:07] Revchi
    Sucks to be him!
[03:09] Sally
    Ooh!
[03:10] Sally
    Does that mean Asta will have to work here, too?
SIGN    Sally
[03:13] Sally
    That means I get to dissect him, right?
[03:16] Sally
    I mean, he promised me that I could.
SIGN    Rades Spirito
[03:19] Rades
    Hell if I know!
[03:20] Sally
    Jeez, why are you so angry?
[03:22] Rades
    I'm not angry!
[03:24] Sally
    Your blood is always boiling.
[03:26] Sally
    I know. Maybe if I took some
    of your blood, that'd help.
[03:29] Sally
    I'll just dissect you!
[03:31] Rades
    Don't!
[03:33] Rades
    Why do I have to do this, anyway?
[03:37] Rades
    Hey, what the hell is going on, Valtos?!

    Shut it! Start yappin' again and

    You already did!
[04:01] Revchi
    Are you trying to kill us?!
[04:03] Rades
    You bastard!
[04:04] Jack
    Of course I am!
[04:06] Jack
    If I'd had my way, I would've turned you all
    into sliced ham while you were roaming free!
[04:11] Jack
    Go ahead and run! That'd give me
    an excuse to slice you up!
[04:15] Gueldre
    You can't be serious! You look more
    like a criminal than any of us!
[04:19] Rades
    I'm gonna control your corpse one day!
[04:22] Revchi
    I'll tie you up in chains!
[04:23] Jack
    Shut up!
[04:28] Mimosa
    Asta...
[04:30] Klaus
    This is... Are they trying to make Asta
    take the blame for everything we did?
[04:36] Mimosa
    Damnatio from the Magic Parliament
     just might do that.
[04:40] Mimosa
    They say that he judged his own father before.
[04:44] Mimosa
    He's the scale of justice that will
    cruelly judge any crime for the sake of
[04:47] Mimosa
    the kingdom and the law.
[04:49] Klaus
    So Asta's up against the jurisdiction
    of this kingdom itself.
[04:52] Klaus
    If anyone defies it, their entire
     clan will be punished.

[04:59] Guy
    That form is truly...
[05:01] Guy
    It's just as the legends describe.
[05:03] Guy
    He's a devil!
[05:07] Damnatio
    So you've shown your true self,
[05:10] Damnatio
    you devil!
[05:13] Asta
    I'm able to go into my black form quicker now.
[05:16] Asta
    After that last fight, I've managed
    to make it more my own.
[05:20] Marie
    Asta...
[05:21] Asta
    Don't you worry, Marie. I'll protect you.
[05:25] Marie
    Okay.
[05:27] Asta
    Everyone, listen!
[05:29] Asta
    It's okay! I'm able to control this power now!
[05:33] Asta
    I won't attack any of you!
[05:35] Guy
    Like we can actually believe you!
[05:37] Guy
    You're possessed by a devil!
[05:39] Guy
    How grotesque!
[05:40] Guy
    How horrifying!
[05:42] Guy
    You're a filthy peasan
     who's made a deal with the devils!
[05:46] Guy
    Give him death!
[05:46] King
    I knew he was nothing more than trash.
[05:50] Sekke
    A devil...
[05:53] King
    Nothing is more suitable than the death
    penalty for peasant filth like him.
[05:57] Sekke
    Bah-ha?! The death penalty?!
[05:59] Asta
    Please! Listen to me!
[06:01] Guy
    Kill him! Before he brings
    misfortune upon the kingdom!
[06:04] Guy
    Sentence him to death immediately!
[06:12] Damnatio
    Give yourself up.
[06:14] Damnatio
    Even if you were able to defeat me
    and escape from here,
[06:17] Damnatio
    you'd just become a fugitive.
[06:20] Damnatio
    There's nowhere for you to run.
[06:22] Damnatio
    And if that were to happen,
[06:25] Damnatio
    the ones who raised you in the church
    will probably suffer, too.
[06:29] Damnatio
    You should be convicted right here, right now.
[06:33] Damnatio
    By having someone as
    dangerous as you disappear,
[06:36] Damnatio
    that little girl, as well as many
    Magic Knights, will be saved.
[06:41] Damnatio
    There is no one in this place nor this kingdom
    who can or will save you right now.
[06:50] Damnatio
    You sow calamity over everyone you touch.
[06:54] Damnatio
    You are evil.
[07:09] Guy
    What's going on?!
[07:11] King
    What is the meaning of this?!
[07:13] Yami
    Man... I knew you guys would be
    doing whatever the hell you wanted.
[07:19] Yami
    I was told the trial would
    be two days from now.
[07:23] Yami
    I don't give a rat's ass
    if that kid is evil or not.
[07:27] Magna
    He's definitely a badass junior of mine that
[07:30] Magna
    I've acknowledged as a real man's man.
[07:33] Luck
    He's my precious friend.
[07:35] Luck
    I can't let you kill him right here.
[07:39] Gordon
    What do you think you're
    doing to my best friend?
[07:42] Gordon
    Do you all want to get cursed to death?
[07:45] Grey
    I've transformed into him,
[07:47] Grey
    so I know that he's always bold, and I'd
     love to be as persistent as he is.
[07:51] Henry
    He's... really, really... nice...
[07:56] Henry
    and... a good... boy.
[07:58] Gauche
    Losing you would make Marie sad,
[08:01] Gauche
    so I guess I don't mind
    saving you along with her.
[08:04] Gauche
    Also, get your paws off Marie!
[08:06] Vanessa
    He may be a boy,
[08:07] Vanessa
    but he's a very brave young man that
[08:10] Vanessa
    makes even the cruelest fates
     bounce off of him.
[08:12] Finral
    He makes me look good as his senior,
    and I couldn't ask for a better partner!
[08:17] Charmy
    I still need him to live
    longer and eat more noms!
[08:22] Zora
    He's a stupid little shrimp,
[08:24] Zora
    but I don't mind conceding a little bit
[08:27] Zora
    and saying he's pretty close to
    what a true Magic Knight should be.
[08:31] Noelle
    He's stupid, loud, and reckless,
[08:33] Noelle
    but as royalty, I acknowledge him
    as someone this kingdom needs!
[08:38] Noelle
    N-Not that there's any deeper meaning to that.
[08:46] Yami
    How about you guys give back...
[08:49] All
    ...Asta now?
[08:54] Damnatio
    The Black Bulls...
[08:57] Guy
    Wh-What in the world is that giant thing?
[09:00] Guy
    Th-The Black Bulls?
[09:02] Guy
    How dare you disturb this honorable
    trial with such violence?!
[09:06] Damnatio
    Yami Sukehiro...
[09:10] Damnatio
    You're defending the criminal
    that started this great war?
[09:16] Damnatio
    Do you know what will happen to the
    Black Bulls because of this decision?
[09:21] Yami
    Oh, you didn't know?
[09:24] Yami
    We're pretty much the worst Magic
    Knight squad ever to exist.
[09:28] Yami
    Both those guys there with the
    horns belong to our squad.
[09:33] Secre
    Me?
[09:34] Yami
    If you're gonna mess with them,
[09:36] Yami
    we'll be scoundrels or rebels
    or whatever, you jackass!
[09:51] Asta
    Guys...
[09:57] Gauche
    That aside, I'm gonna punish
    anyone who dares to touch Marie.
[10:02] Marie
    B-Big Brother! Now's not the time for that!
[10:06] Noelle
    How stupid can you be to come
    out and get caught like this?
[10:09] Noelle
    How many times to do you intend
    to almost die, Stupidsta?!
[10:14] Zora
    Even death couldn't fix his stupidity.
[10:15] Luck
    At least die fighting me!
[10:17] Magna
    When you die is the day I die!
[10:20] Gauche
    How dare you hold Marie? Die, Asta.
[10:24] Asta
    Wait, didn't you come to save me?!
[10:27] Marie
    Big Brother, stop!
[10:31] Vanessa
    Apparently, even death couldn't
    fix his sister complex.
[10:35] Yami
    Hey, guy from the royal Kira family or whatever.
[10:38] Yami
    Looks like you took real good
    care of two of my squad members.
[10:43] Secre
    Don't worry about me. Just take
     Asta and get out of here!
[10:46] Secre
    I'm not even from this era, and I'm no longer
    really human because of the forbidden magic.
[10:51] Secre
    I basically used you to complete my mission.
[10:56] Yami
    You've really got some nerve, saying that
    after spending so much time at our place.
[11:02] Yami
    You've been watching us this whole time,
[11:04] Yami
    but apparently, you've still got no clue.
[11:06] Magna
    I heard all about you.
[11:10] Magna
    You were being badass in the
    form of a bird for 500 years?
[11:13] Magna
    That's pretty awesome.
[11:15] Henry
    It... must... have... been... really...
    lonely... all... by... yourself.
[11:22] Henry
    I know that feeling all too well.
[11:26] Finral
    We'd love to have another
    cute girl like you!
[11:29] Gordon
    You were working hard in the shadows.
[11:31] Gordon
    We'd probably get along really well.
[11:33] Gordon
    Be my friend.
[11:35] Gordon
    Actually, we've been best
    friends since the day I was born.
[11:39] Grey
    Y-Yes!
[11:41] Vanessa
    Now you get to enjoy life
    along with all of us.
[11:45] Charmy
    Just make sure you eat tons!
[11:47] Charmy
    Thank goodness I didn't eat
    you when you were a bird.
[11:50] Zora
    You were planning on eating her?
[11:54] Yami
    Nothing will change about
    the Black Bulls if we have
[11:58] Yami
    another weirdo like yourself.
[12:00] Yami
    For me, your ki is really familiar,
[12:06] Yami
    and we've already got plenty of weirdos.
[12:10] Nero
    This is...
[12:25] Nero
    Sealing Magic: Eternal Prison.
[12:32] Nero
    I'll go with you!
[12:35] Yami
    Yeah, we're basically as pitch black as it gets!
[12:40] Yami
    That's...
[12:44] Yami
    Us, the Black Bulls!
[12:55] Damnatio
    Apparently, you don't understand at all.
[12:58] Damnatio
    Even if you protect that devil's minions,
[13:01] Damnatio
    it won't change the situation.
[13:04] Damnatio
    Cause all the fuss you want here,
    but it won't clear the boy's name.
[13:09] Damnatio
    It's actually just going to worsen
    the charges of him being a devil.
[13:13] Damnatio
    Apparently, you're all very emotional,
    but that won't save this kingdom.
[13:19] Damnatio
    You cannot change the minds of
    all the nobles gathered here.
[13:22] Damnatio
    They're still leaning toward
    bewilderment and suspicion.
[13:25] Damnatio
    And even if they were to rampage...
[13:30] Damnatio
    Scale Magic: Scale Regulate!
[13:38] Charmy
    La! My magic's getting smaller!
[13:42] Damnatio
    My scale magic measures one's abilities,
     balances them, and establishes order.
[13:49] Damnatio
    No matter how powerful your magic is,
    it's impossible to defy it.
[13:54] Vanessa
    But Rouge hasn't disappeared.
[13:56] Vanessa
    Meaning he can't lay a finger on us!
[14:00] Vanessa
    And we have a boy who can
    make the impossible possible!
[14:05] Asta
    Demon-Destroyer Sword: Fate Release!
[14:13] Damnatio
    He erased my magic's effect!
[14:19] Yami
    Gotcha!
[14:25] Guy
    Oh, are they...
[14:29] Nozel
    You're as reckless as ever, foreigner.
[14:33] Nozel
    What were you planning to do after this?
[14:36] Yami
    Eh, I just got a little worked up.
[14:39] Nozel
    Though it appears you meant to miss.
[14:42] Fuegoleon
    Honestly... Even if this
    was for your squad members,
[14:46] Fuegoleon
    you couldn't make a worse impression.
[14:48] Fuegoleon
    Though thanks to that, we made it in time.
[14:52] Yami
    What the hell is that big dragon?!
[14:54] Yami
    You really did power up when you came back!
[14:57] Asta
    Captain Fuegoleon... Captain Nozel!
[15:00] Asta
    Why...
[15:01] Nozel
    We can't afford to lose
    any capable Magic Knights.
[15:05] Fuegoleon
    In other words, the people
[15:08] Fuegoleon
    who acknowledge you aren't
    limited to any rank or class.
[15:11] Noelle
    Nozel! Captain Fuegoleon!
[15:15] Guy
    Two royal members of the Magic Knights...
[15:18] Guy
    What's the meaning of this?
[15:20] Damnatio
    But what are you going to do now?
[15:24] Fuegoleon
    We have a mission from the Wizard King.
[15:28] Fuegoleon
    The Black Bulls Magic Knights Squad
[15:32] Fuegoleon
    is tasked with locating and
    investigating the devils.
[15:35] Asta
    Huh?
[15:38] Fuegoleon
    Prove your innocence with your own hands.
[15:42] Yami
    I see.
[15:44] Yami
    Royals have authority here,
    so he had Nozel and Fuegoleon,
[15:50] Yami
    two royals, deliver the order.
[15:53] Yami
    Can that geriatric kid see
    the future or something?
[15:59] King
    Curse you, Julius!
[16:01] King
    You were missing when we
    really needed you,
[16:02] King
    and now you go stepping on my toes again!
[16:04] Sekke
    So I guess that means Asta
    won't be executed immediately.
[16:09] Sekke
    Ba-hank goodness...
[16:10] Nozel
    While Asta is on this mission,
[16:14] Nozel
    the Wizard King and Magic Knights will
    take full responsibility for him.
[16:18] Damnatio
    By making it look as though the brat's
    being dealt with by the Magic Knights,
[16:23] Damnatio
    they're given the leeway
    to prove their innocence.
[16:27] Asta
    So, uh, er... Wait, what does that mean?
[16:33] Yami
    We're gonna go investigate the devils
    so we can clear that name of yours!
[16:38] Yami
    And break the curse of the forbidden magic, too.
[16:42] Guy
    Investigating the devils?
[16:43] Guy
    But that doesn't resolve anything...
[16:46] Guy
    It's an order from the Wizard King.
     He wouldn't be too foolhardy.
[16:49] Guy
    I mean, two royal captains of the
    Magic Knights are vouching for him.
[16:52] Guy
    And the Wizard King says
    he'll take responsibility.
[16:56] Damnatio
    Apparently, I weighed the trust
    people have in you too lightly.
[17:00] Damnatio
    But know that you'll be
[17:03] Damnatio
    executed immediately if you prove
    to have no use to the kingdom.
[17:07] Damnatio
    You're still hanging in the balance.
[17:19] King
    Let us go.
[17:21] Sekke
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[17:25] Gauche
    Marie... Thank goodness you're safe.
[17:28] Marie
    Big Brother!
[17:29] Marie
    I told you not to attack Asta!
[17:33] Gauche
    M-Marie?!
[17:35] Noelle
    Um... Nozel...
[17:38] Noelle
    Thank you very much.
[17:40] Nozel
    Do not thank me. Thank the Wizard King.
[17:44] Noelle
    I will.
[17:46] Nozel
    Asta, take this.
[17:54] Asta
    Huh?!
[17:57] Asta
    What was that?
[17:59] Nozel
    Now we'll know where you are.
[18:01] Nozel
    This way, you can't flee.
[18:05] Asta
    Like I would actually try to flee!
[18:07] Fuegoleon
    We know.
[18:09] Fuegoleon
    But putting up a front is necessary at times.
[18:12] Fuegoleon
    Do you understand?
[18:15] Asta
    Yes, sir.
[18:19] Magna
    Good for you, Asta.
[18:21] Luck
    Jeez, don't worry us like that!
[18:24] Charmy
    Go on. Eat up!
[18:26] Vanessa
    And drink up, too.
[18:29] Charmy
    Want more?
[18:30] Gordon
    I'll feed you myself, my dear friend.
[18:33] Henry
    Asta...
[18:35] Zora
    You dumbass.
[18:37] Grey
    Uh... Um... Um...
[18:43] Asta
    I-I'm gonna die!
[18:54] Julius
    Come in.
[18:55] Damnatio
    Pardon me.
[18:59] Julius
    Hello, Damnatio.
[19:03] Damnatio
    So you're trying to take on everything again,
     despite what you've been reduced to.
[19:07] Damnatio
    Both what happened with the Magic Knights,
     as well as the boy possessed by a devil.
[19:11] Julius
    That order was smart thinking, wasn't it?
[19:14] Julius
    Now no one will get punished.
[19:16] Julius
    Of course, that's how it should be,
    since Asta never did anything wrong.
[19:21] Julius
    I'm sure that the Black Bulls will be
    able to find some clues about the devils.
[19:25] Julius
    That'll make up for them
    barging into the trial, too.
[19:29] Damnatio
    Forgiving them means taking responsibility.
[19:32] Damnatio
    The kingdom can't take that
    kind of responsibility.
[19:35] Damnatio
    You can't take on that
    responsibility yourself, either.
[19:38] Julius
    I didn't forgive them. I left it in their hands.
[19:41] Julius
    It's not about responsibility.
    It's about trusting them.
[19:46] Julius
    Eventually, I'm sure your scales will
    tip in favor of Asta and his group.
[19:52] Damnatio
    It appears that you haven't changed
    at all inside. I'm relieved.
[20:00] Damnatio
    The distortions in this country...
[20:02] Damnatio
    The crisis we're facing is not a small one.
[20:06] Damnatio
    If the kingdom is about to fall,
     I'll have to pass judgment.
[20:10] Damnatio
    On that boy, and even you.
[20:14] Damnatio
    Pardon me.
[20:21] Marx
    Lord Julius!
[20:23] Julius
    Hey there, Marx.
[20:29] Julius
    Feeling better already?
[20:33] Marx
    You're alive, but you're little...
[20:35] Marx
    You're little, but you're alive...
[20:38] Marx
    Huh? Wha... I...
[20:40] Marx
    I'm fine, but... What? What's going on?
[20:45] Marx
    You were always like a child...
[20:48] Marx
    And now, you really are a child.
[20:51] Julius
    So, yeah, this...
[20:52] Marx
    You don't need to explain!
