[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.
SIGN    Nero Reminisces...
    Part One
[02:16] Secre
    One of the Black Bulls, huh?
[02:21] Secre
    My prince, so much has happened...
[02:26] Secre
    Ever since we met on that
    day 500 years ago.
[02:36] Lumiere
    Hey there! You must be Secré.
[02:40] Lumiere
    Sorry, I'm researching ancient
    magic right now, so I can't get up.
[02:45] Lumiere
    By the way, what kind of magic do you have?
[02:47] Lumiere
    Sealing magic?!
[02:50] Lumiere
    What's that? I've never heard of it before!
[02:52] Lumiere
    That's so unusual! How amazing!
[02:54] Lumiere
    How should we have you use it?
    Just thinking about it is exciting, isn't it?
[03:00] Secre
    Magical tools?
[03:01] Lumiere
    Yup. So that people who aren't
    blessed with magic or by their
[03:04] Lumiere
    magical attribute can
    use all kinds of spells.
[03:07] Lumiere
    That way, I think we can
    make our society more equal.
[03:10] Secre
    But that just sounds like a silly dream.
[03:13] Lumiere
    They're tools to help me with that.
[03:15] Lumiere
    I think I'll call them magic items.
[03:17] Lumiere
    I'm sure your magic will help me with this!
[03:20] Lumiere
    For example, can you seal magic into objects?
[03:23] Secre
    Um... Yes.
[03:25] Lumiere
    You can?! That's amazing!
[03:28] Secre
    I helped the prince make magical tools.
[03:33] Secre
    He really was nothing like I'd imagined.
[03:38] Secre
    There were members of his family
    who didn't like his progressive ideas.
[03:43] Secre
    But he didn't let that bother him,
    and he never compromised his ideals.
[03:48] Secre
    He was a strong, honest person.
[03:54] Secre
    I didn't know it at the time,
[03:56] Secre
    but the prince interacted with
    a race other than humans.
[03:59] Secre
    They were a race loved by mana,
    who lived their lives in peace.
[04:05] Secre
    They were the elves.
[04:07] Guy
    A four-leaf grimoire!
[04:09] Guy
    Licht of sword magic was chosen
    by a four-leaf grimoire!
[04:13] Kid
    What's a four-leaf grimoire, Mommy?
[04:16] Mom
    It's a grimoire with good fortune in it.
[04:19] Mom
    Only those it chooses can wield it!
[04:24] Patry
    Licht, with the four-leaf grimoire...
[04:26] Patry
    He's so cool!
[04:31] Secre
    The three leaves of the clover
    represent faith, hope, and love.
[04:38] Secre
    Within a fourth leaf dwells good luck.
[04:40] Secre
    Within a fifth leaf...
[04:42] Secre
    resides a devil.
[04:44] Secre
    We thought that was just a saying.
[04:49] Patry
    So what do you think, Licht?
[04:52] Patry
    About the rumors that the
    humans might attack us.
[04:58] Licht
    I believe they're just rumors.
[04:59] Patry
    But I wouldn't say it's
    completely impossible.
[05:02] Patry
    They're...
[05:03] Patry
    Humans are a wicked-hearted
    race that kills animals for sport.
[05:11] Patry
    That's...
[05:20] Patry
    Licht!
[05:22] Licht
    Sword Magic:
[05:24] Licht
    Origin Flash!
[05:26] Bro
    Light Magic:
[05:28] Bro
    Lamp of Avior!
[05:35] ---
    Are you all right?
[05:36] Tetia
    Y-Yes.
[05:38] Tetia
    Thank you so much.
[05:42] Bro
    Tetia! Why did you leave the
    castle without permission?
[05:45] Tetia
    Brother...
[05:46] Bro
    Your magical attribute is wind.
[05:48] Bro
    How did you, of all people,
    get caught up in a mana tornado?
[05:53] Bro
    Thank you for saving my little sister.
[05:55] Licht
    It's nothing...
[06:08] Secre
    Phenomenal magic and skill...
[06:10] Secre
    The same thoughts and ideals...
[06:12] Secre
    The same four-leaf grimoires...
[06:15] Secre
    The leader of the elves, Licht,
[06:17] Secre
    was the first peer and friend
    that the prince had ever had.
[06:22] Bro
    We can come to understand each other.
[06:24] Bro
    You elves have truly amazing mana.
[06:27] Bro
    By combining that with the magic-item
    technology that we humans created,
[06:31] Bro
    we can make this land
    safer and more prosperous.
[06:34] Bro
    Let us live together, hand in hand.
[06:43] Secre
    Through his work with the elves,
    spells and magic-item technology
[06:46] Secre
    that would help not only the humans,
    but both races to live in peace as equals
[06:52] Secre
    were slowly becoming a reality.
[06:55] Secre
    The prince and Licht were best friends.
[06:57] Secre
    And they were supposed to become family.
[07:01] Vetto
    You're with child?
[07:05] Fana
    With you two as its parents,
    I'm sure it'll be a wonderful child!
[07:07] Raia
    Congrats, Tetia... and Licht, too, I guess.
[07:11] Licht
    Well, thanks, I guess.
[07:15] Raia
    What? Something bothering you?
[07:17] Patry
    Well...
[07:18] Raia
    I guess you are still a kid.
[07:21] Patry
    Be quiet! Stop treating me like a child!
[07:25] Raia
    Yeah, yeah...
[07:28] Licht
    Lumiere...
[07:29] Licht
    Soon, I'll marry Tetia and become your brother.
[07:35] Licht
    I'm sure there will be humans
    who look down upon that.
[07:39] Lumiere
    You're probably right.
[07:40] Lumiere
    But with you...
[07:44] Lumiere
    I'll be able to create a
    peaceful and equal world.
[07:47] Lumiere
    I truly believe that.
[07:50] Licht
    I believe that, too.
[07:52] Licht
    I'm sure...
[07:53] Lumiere
    ...it was fate that brought us together.
[07:59] Lumiere
    I'm really sorry, but I'm probably
    going to be late to your wedding.
[08:04] Lumiere
    Sadly, Father has summoned
    me to the palace that day.
[08:08] Lumiere
    I know that he and the others
    are against this marriage now,
[08:11] Lumiere
    but don't worry.
[08:13] Lumiere
    I'm sure they'll understand someday
    and give you their blessings.
[08:16] Tetia
    I know.
[08:17] Tetia
    I'm sure Licht and the others
    will be eager to see you.
[08:22] Secré
    But it's likely that even then,
[08:26] Secré
    he was already manipulating
    the whole situation.
[08:28] Lumiere
    I wonder why Father summoned me today.
[08:31] Lumiere
    We didn't mention the wedding
    to anyone, so is it a coincidence?
[08:34] Lumiere
    I need to hurry to the ceremony.
[08:39] Girl
    Congratulations!
[08:41] Girl
    I wish you both years of happiness!
[08:42] Girl
    May the mana bless you!
[08:43] Tetia
    Thank you so much.
[08:48] Fana
    Aw... I hope someday I'll also...
[08:51] Tetia
    I'm sure you'll meet
    someone lovely soon, Fana.
[08:54] Fana
    I sure hope so.
[08:55] Vetto
    I wish you a lifetime of happiness.
[08:57] Tetia
    Thank you.
[08:59] Patry
    I wonder if we can come to understand
    humans someday, just like he said.
[09:03] Patry
    Licht seems to believe that, too.
[09:06] Patry
    I guess it's possible... for elves
    and humans to join hands someday.
[09:13] Lumiere
    Father, where are you?
[09:16] Devil
    "Bind."
[09:21] Lumiere
    What is this?
[09:24] Minister
    Good day, my prince.
[09:26] Lumiere
    Minister?!
[09:28] Lumiere
    No... The evil mana that's coming
    from him doesn't belong to him.
[09:32] Lumiere
    Who are you?!
[09:35] Devil
    Who am I?
[09:36] Devil
    Despair, hatred,
[09:39] Devil
    disloyalty, or death...
[09:41] Devil
    You may call me whatever you wish.
[09:45] Lumiere
    A soul with evil mana...
[09:47] Lumiere
    I've read about this being
    from another world! A devil?
[09:51] Lumiere
    Where are my father and the others?
[09:53] Devil
    Who knows?
[09:54] Devil
    Maybe they've gone to destroy the other race
[09:57] Devil
    that's trying to harm the princess and,
     indeed, the entire kingdom.
[10:02] Devil
    I'm sure the elves will be quite surprised
[10:04] Devil
    when the humans' violence and greed
[10:07] Devil
    fall upon the wedding ceremony
    that only you should know about.
[10:12] Lumiere
    What?!
[10:14] Devil
    Once I obtain my body and grimoire,
    I'll come play with you again.
[10:20] Lumiere
    Wait!
[10:23] Lumiere
    Someone! Isn't there anyone here?
[10:25] Lumiere
    Anyone!
[10:26] Secré
    Prince!
[10:28] Lumiere
    Secré!
[10:29] Secré
    What's going on, Your Highness?
[10:31] Lumiere
    There's a devil plotting something!
[10:33] Secré
    So it wasn't you, was it, Your Highness?
[10:35] Secré
    That magic item we made is gone!
[10:40] Lumiere
    Secré! Break these restraints!
[10:42] Secré
    Right!
[10:43] Secré
    Sealing Magic: Inverse Release!
[10:49] Lumiere
    Faster... I need to go faster!
[10:52] Lumiere
    Tetia, Licht, everyone...
[10:57] Patry
    Wh-What's going on?!
[10:58] Guy
    The humans are attacking!
[11:02] Fana
    This way! Hurry!
[11:04] Raia
    I can't use any magic!
[11:06] Vetto
    Our magic has been sealed!
[11:09] Vetto
    Get down!
[11:14] Patry
    This is light magic. That means...
[11:20] Patry
    ...dare you...
[11:22] Patry
    How dare you?!
[11:28] Patry
    How dare you?! How dare you?!
    How dare you?! How dare you?!
[11:31] Patry
    How dare you?! How dare you?!
[11:33] Patry
    I'll never...
[11:58] Patry
    Lich...
[11:59] Patry
    ...t...
[12:03] ---
    That's the magic item we made!
[12:06] Secré
    Magic items that stored and distributed magic,
[12:09] Secré
    and the elves' magic stones, which linked
    to another world and amplified spells...
[12:33] Secré
    A five-leaf grimoire...
[12:36] Licht
    I knew it...
[12:38] Lumiere
    Licht...
[12:39] Licht
    I knew it wasn't you.
[12:45] Licht
    I'm sorry I doubted you for even a second.
[12:50] Licht
    Please forgive me.
[12:52] Licht
    You are the future we believed in.
[12:55] Licht
    You are hope.
[12:58] Lumiere
    Licht...
[13:00] Licht
    Right now, I am filled with
    tremendous negative mana.
[13:05] Licht
    I don't have full control anymore.
[13:07] Licht
    At this rate, that devil will...
[13:10] Lumiere
    Don't...
[13:12] Licht
    To prevent my magic and body from falling
    into the hands of something wicked...
[13:17] Licht
    I've pulled even more negative
    magic into myself.
[13:20] Lumiere
    Don't... Don't do this, Licht!
[13:23] Licht
    I'm sorry. This is my last selfish request.
[13:27] Licht
    You're the only one who can grant it.
[13:36] Lumiere
    Don't do this, Licht!
[13:58] Licht
    Lumiere...
[14:01] Licht
    Please kill me!
[14:18] ---
    The devil manipulated the prince and the elves
[14:22] ---
    so that he could throw the owner of
    the four-leaf grimoire into deep despair.
[14:28] ---
    Because that is when a
    five-leaf grimoire is born,
[14:31] ---
    and the devil is able
    to appear in this world
[14:35] ---
    in his true form and
    with his true powers.
[14:43] Guy
    What in the world is that creature?!
[14:45] Guy 2
    R-Run!
[15:00] Lady
    Oh, God...
[15:02] Old man
    It's the end of the world.
[15:14] Lumiere
    I finally understand...
[15:15] Lumiere
    why I was born with so much...
[15:19] Lumiere
    magical power.
[15:21] Lumiere
    I will not let you...
[15:23] Lumiere
    become a murderer!
[15:29] Guy
    That's...
[15:30] ---
    The prince!
[15:32] Guy
    Prince Lumiere!
[15:40] Secré
    They used a magic item that I created
[15:43] Secré
    to steal the elves' magic...
[15:47] Secré
    It was supposed to be used so
    that we can all share magic.
[15:50] Secré
    Prince... Lady Tetia... What should I...
[15:54] Secré
    Is there still something I can do?
[16:10] Secré
    My prince!
[16:13] Secré
    Our magic item! The one we
    made for equality and peace!
[16:24] Lumiere
    I'll use the magic item we created...
[16:27] Lumiere
    and absorb his magic!
[16:37] ---
    As I suspected... It's impossible
    for it to absorb all of the magic!
[16:45] Secré
    He stopped...
[16:46] Secré
    The negative mana seems to be subsiding.
[16:49] Licht
    Lumi...ere...
[16:52] Licht
    Now's your chance.
[16:54] Licht
    Hurry...
[16:57] Lumiere
    Licht...
[17:00] ---
    I... will stop you!
[17:47] Devil
    You stopped me from obtaining his body,
[17:50] Devil
    but that was still quite
    an entertaining show.
[17:52] Devil
    I guess I'll just have to take
    his grimoire for the time being.
[17:57] Secré
    Stop!
[17:58] Secré
    I won't let you have Licht's grimoire!
[18:01] Devil
    The magic stones...
[18:04] Devil
    You witnessed the end
    of that elf, didn't you?
[18:07] Devil
    If a human like yourself who isn't
    loved by mana tried to use those,
[18:10] Devil
    you wouldn't be able to keep
[18:12] Devil
    your form even if you tried to
    perform a puny little spell.
[18:14] Secré
    Like I care. I'm going to use the
    magic stones to increase my magic.
[18:19] Secré
    Sealing Magic: Eternal Prison!
[18:24] Devil
    This is...
[18:28] Devil
    Confinement magic, eh?
[18:32] Devil
    Her seal is a bit vexing,
[18:35] Devil
    but I can use reincarnation
    with the magic stones.
[18:38] Devil
    "Come."
[18:40] Secré
    What?
[18:41] Devil
    Even more despair and tragedy for
    the soul who possesses the four-leaf.
[18:46] Devil
    I guess I'll just have to
    sow those seeds for him.
[18:49] Devil
    Forbidden Magic: Noad Nepesh.
[18:58] Devil
    I'll be sure to work slower and
    much more carefully next time.
[19:02] Devil
    In an era where you two don't exist.
[19:13] Lumiere
    Secré!
[19:14] Lumiere
    Are you all right?
[19:16] Secré
    My prince!
[19:17] Lumiere
    So you managed to seal the devil.
[19:21] Secré
    But the seal that I put on
    the devil will eventually...
[19:27] Secré
    Prince!
[19:29] Secré
    No...
[19:31] Lumiere
    This is how it should be.
[19:33] Lumiere
    I was able to keep my promise to Licht.
[19:37] Lumiere
    So...
[19:43] Secré
    My prince, I'm going to use
    the magic stones to seal you.
[19:48] Secré
    It probably won't be complete, but it
    should be enough to keep you alive.
[19:53] Secré
    If the devil's seal is broken,
[19:55] Secré
    the peaceful future we sought
    will be taken away from us.
[19:59] Lumiere
    Secré, don't. If you use
    any more forbidden magic,
[20:03] Lumiere
    you'll lose your humanity.
[20:05] Secré
    I cannot let you die here, Your Highness.
[20:09] Secré
    As Licht said, you are
    our hope for the future.
[20:20] ---
    It was several years later
[20:23] ---
    before I finally woke up.
[20:28] Secré
    The prince began his long
    slumber in the form of a statue,
[20:32] Secré
    and for some reason, I turned into a bird.
[20:37] Secré
    I've been spared? But in this form...
[20:41] Secré
    I'll need the help of the future mages.
[20:45] ---
    But when I woke up, I definitely felt
[20:51] ---
    the existence of a hope that
    could stand against that devil.
[21:01] Father
    Here we go again...
[21:11] Father
    There, there...
[21:15] Father
    Are they brothers... or perhaps twins?
[21:20] Father
    No, they're not.
[21:22] Father
    This one is rather calm, but this one...
[21:27] Father
    seems like he has a lot of spunk.
[21:29] Father
    First of all, they don't look a thing alike.
[21:34] Father
    Hm? "Yuno"...
[21:39] Father
    Let's see. And the spunky one over here is—
[21:43] Father
    Hey! You're a bit too spunky...
[21:51] Father
    "Asta," eh?
[21:55] Father
    Right! You two don't need to
    worry about a thing anymore.
[21:59] Father
    Starting today, this is your new home...
[22:03] Father
    Asta, Yuno.
[23:39] ---
    Hope that can stand against that devil...
[23:42] ---
    I decided to wager
    everything on this wish.
[23:44] ---
    Next time on Black Clover, Page 124:
     "Nero Reminisces... Part Two."
SIGN    Page 124
    
     Nero Reminisces... Part Two
[23:50] ---
    My prince, I will make
    your wish come true.
