[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.
[00:37] ---
    The devil we sealed away 500 years ago...
[00:40] ---
    The day his seal would be
    broken was drawing near.
[00:44] ---
    Going against all reason in this world,
[00:46] ---
    I somehow assumed the form of a bird
[00:49] ---
    and continued to watch over Licht's grimoire.
[00:54] ---
    This place was now known as Hage Village,
[00:57] ---
    a place far, far away from the royal capital
[00:59] ---
    of the Clover Kingdom, out in the boonies.
[01:02] ---
    A small village in the Forsaken Realm.
[01:19] Yuno
    Asta, are you okay?
[01:23] Yuno
    I'm so sorry. It's all
    my fault... I'm sorry...
[01:29] Asta
    This is nothin'!
[01:33] Asta
    I'm gonna become the Wizard King.
[01:38] Asta
    I'm gonna become the Wizard King...
    and protect you and everyone else.
[01:44] Asta
    I'm gonna make everyone even happier!
    So we can have even nicer things!
[01:50] Asta
    And then, I'm gonna prove to everyone...
[01:54] Yuno
    Prove?
[01:55] Asta
    That even if you're poor... or an orphan...
[02:01] Asta
    you can still become the Wizard King.
[02:05] Yuno
    We can?
[02:06] Asta
    Yeah.
[02:08] Yuno
    Can we really?
[02:11] Asta
    Anyone can... if they work hard enough!
[02:16] Yuno
    Anyone?
[02:18] Asta
    Me, or even you, Yuno!
[02:28] Yuno
    I'll... never cry again.
[02:32] Yuno
    Maybe I... no...
[02:35] Asta
    Yuno?
[02:37] Yuno
    I will...
[02:38] Yuno
    I'll become the Wizard King, too!
[02:40] Yuno
    I'll get stronger, and protect
    you and everyone else!
[02:45] Yuno
    I'm gonna make everyone happier!
    So we can have nicer things!

[04:29] Patry
    Where... am I?
[04:31] Patry
    What in the world is going on?!
[04:33] Patry
    Didn't I die?
[04:38] Patry
    Huh?! Licht?
[04:42] Patry
    What's going on?
    I somehow look like Licht!
[04:46] Patry
    Did my soul somehow end up in Licht?
[04:50] Patry
    No... The feeling of this mana...
[04:53] Patry
    This body... It's human!
[04:56] Patry
    A human that looks like Licht?
[04:59] Patry
    That's right... I'm sure that I died.
[05:03] Patry
    The thing that Licht activated
    when our magic was sealed...
[05:08] Patry
    It must've been forbidden magic!
[05:11] Patry
    Meaning... a reincarnation spell.
[05:16] Patry
    This is...
[05:19] Patry
    I can tell... I can feel them.
[05:22] Patry
    Raia's soul...
[05:24] Patry
    The souls of all the elves from the village!
[05:27] Patry
    Licht must have activated a reincarnation
    spell in those last moments!
[05:31] Patry
    In order to save us elves!
[05:40] Patry
    I have...
[05:42] Patry
    been chosen.
[05:45] Patry
    I will become Licht.
[05:47] Patry
    No matter what I have to do...
[05:49] Patry
    I will bring back all the elves.
[05:53] Patry
    And this time...
[05:54] Patry
    The humans betrayed someone precious
    to me. They betrayed all of us!
[05:59] Patry
    This time...
[06:01] Patry
    This time, we'll destroy the humans!
[06:09] Patry
    The only ones I can resurrect
    right now are these three.
[06:14] Patry
    For a complete rebirth... In order
    to resurrect everyone else,
[06:19] Patry
    I will require a phenomenal
    amount of power and sacrifices.
[06:23] Patry
    We'll gather the magic stones
    that were once in our village,
[06:27] Patry
    which have now been scattered.
[06:31] Patry
    By using the humans, of course.
[06:34] Patry
    Isn't that a wonderful idea?
[06:35] Raia
    Yeah.
[06:36] Fana
    Let's do this, Licht.
[06:38] Vetto
    We will get revenge against
    those loathsome humans.
[06:40] Vetto
    I will give them endless despair!
[06:45] Patry
    Humans, you shall serve as the
    foundation of the resurrection.
[06:55] ---
    Resurrecting the elves and getting
    revenge on the humans....
[07:00] ---
    It was all due to a tragic misunderstanding.
[07:03] ---
    But they didn't know any better.
[07:07] ---
    Everything happened according
    to how a devil had planned it.
[07:12] ---
    The royal capital... The Clover Kingdom
    itself was about to be overrun by dark clouds.
[07:20] ---
    But at that time,
[07:23] ---
    I spotted hope.
[07:33] Asta
    A gri... moire?
[07:38] ---
    My prince... Finally...
[07:42] ---
    The time has come.
[07:49] Nar
    The three leaves of the clover
    represent faith, hope, and love.
[07:57] Nar
    Within a fourth leaf dwells good luck.
[08:02] Nar
    Within a fifth leaf...
[08:05] Nar
    resides a devil.
[08:09] ---
    That devil happened
[08:10] ---
    to be different from the one who
    had destroyed the elves' village.
[08:14] ---
    That devil would end up aiding
    the boy with no magic, Asta.
[08:21] ---
    Eventually, Patry and his comrades would
[08:24] ---
    call themselves the Eye of the Midnight Sun
[08:26] ---
    and set out in search of the magic stones.
[08:29] ---
    By collecting all of the magic stones,
[08:31] ---
    they could resurrect the rest of the elves.
[08:34] Heath
    This is your execution.
[08:36] ---
    They attacked a village in the boonies...
[08:39] Leopold
    Fuegoleon!
[08:43] ---
    ...attacked the royal capital,
[08:45] ---
    attacked the Underwater Temple,
[08:47] ---
    and finally,
[08:50] ---
    they collected all of the magic stones.
[09:10] Kid
    M-Marie?
[09:17] Rebecca
    Things keep happening one after
    another. What's going on?
[09:26] Yami
    What the...
[09:29] Raia
    Too bad...
[09:30] Asta
    What is?
[09:31] Raia
    The era of the humans has come to an end.
[09:36] Mimosa
    Yuno... Hamon... Klaus...
[09:43] Klaus
    Do not talk to us.
[09:46] Klaus
    You are not one of us.
[09:51] ---
    The resurrection of the
    other elves was complete.
[10:01] Patlicht
    Begone, humans!
[10:04] Patlicht
    Now, the time for revenge has come!
[10:21] All
    Those who guide the elves...
    The Apostles of Sephira!
SIGN    The Apostles of Sephira
[10:28] Raia
    By infusing Gravito Stones with magic,
[10:31] Raia
    we will open the door to the underworld
[10:33] Raia
    that was sealed under Clover Castle!
[10:37] Yami
    The hell is that?
[10:40] Mimosa
    What in the world is that?
[10:43] Baval
    It's a magic space that acts as the
    border between this world and the next.
[10:46] Baval
    The elves of antiquity entrusted it
    to the humans in an ancient pact.
[10:50] Baval
    It's called the Shadow Palace.
[10:55] ---
    By setting the final magic
    stone into the monument,
[10:59] ---
    the elves' resurrection would
    become permanent,
[11:03] ---
    and the souls of their human
    hosts would be destroyed.
[11:07] ---
    Asta and the others gathered at the
    Shadow Palace for their final battle.
[11:12] ---
    But the thing that awaited them was...
[11:15] Yuno
    What is this cold, pitch-black magic?
[11:24] Patlicht
    Don't tell me he's...
[11:33] Patlicht
    A devil!
[11:36] Yuno
    What in the world is that creature?
[11:41] Demon
    Thought it's still incomplete, I haven't
     been in my own body in centuries.
[11:46] Demon
    What a wonderful feeling.
[11:52] Demon
    Elf that was chosen by a
    four-leaf grimoire, I commend you.
[11:57] Demon
    I praise you from the bottom of my heart
[11:59] Demon
    for everything you've done up to this point,
    as well as the results you have shown me.
[12:04] Demon
    And now, I shall have you taste the
    depths of despair, like he did back then.
[12:10] Patlicht
    What... are you talking about?
[12:14] Patlicht
    What's... going on?
[12:17] Demon
    That day, the one who tricked the
    humans into destroying the elves
[12:23] Demon
    was me!
[12:26] Demon
    And then you lot managed to let me fool
    you in the most amusing way, too.
[12:31] Demon
    The revenge went according to plan.
[12:37] Demon
    All of you are fools!
[12:41] Demon
    Five centuries ago, they got in my way,
[12:44] Demon
    and though I was close, my incarnation failed.
[12:47] Demon
    You were the next one I set my sights on.
[12:53] Demon
    A new sacrifice that was loved by mana,
     still young, and swayed oh so easily.
[12:59] Demon
    Tragedy and a sense of mission...
[13:00] Demon
    That was enough for you to
    dabble in forbidden magic,
[13:04] Demon
    which allowed the elves' souls to
    be reincarnated in human bodies.
[13:09] Patlicht
    What are you talking about?
[13:11] Patlicht
    The one... The one who reincarnated us is Licht!
[13:15] Patlicht
    Even if it meant dabbling in forbidden
    magic, he gave us our last hope!
[13:21] Demon
    Wrong.
[13:22] Demon
    Because I was the one
    who reincarnated you elves.
[13:29] Demon
    Your leader doesn't want
    the humans exterminated.
[13:35] Demon
    Restoring the elves and that revenge
    you longed for... All false goals.
[13:41] Demon
    You merely walked down the
    path I prepared for you,
[13:46] Demon
    neatly leading the other fools after you.
[13:48] Demon
    You truly did a splendid job.
[13:52] Demon
    In the end, it led you to a
    future that Licht didn't want,
[13:53] Patlicht
    It's a lie... It's a lie... It's a lie...
     It's a lie... It's a lie...
[13:56] Demon
    and my incarnation, which finally
    allowed my soul to return to my body.
[14:05] Demon
    Indeed. You were chosen...
[14:09] Demon
    as my brilliant, foolish pawn.
[14:16] Demon
    Excellent work.
[14:24] Demon
    This is just too amusing!
[14:27] Demon
    Elves and humans... Your dreams and
    ambitions make the best playthings!
[14:37] Demon
    When the owner of a four-leaf grimoire
    is engulfed in deep despair,
[14:43] Demon
    a five-leaf grimoire is born.
[14:46] Demon
    At last, I possess both my body
    and my pitch-black grimoire.
[14:51] Demon
    I can rule over the current world as
    a devil with my true form and power!
[14:57] ---
    But we weren't about to let
    that devil have his way.
[15:01] ---
    I spent all this time alone to
    ensure that wouldn't happen.
[15:07] Nero
    Now that your seal has been broken,
    that means my seal will also...
[15:12] Finral
    Nero?
[15:13] Nero
    What a pathetic state you're in.
    If only my spell was more complete...
[15:18] Lumiere
    No, the only reason I was able
    to return is because of you.
[15:22] Finral
    Huh?
[15:23] Secré
    Welcome back, my prince.
[15:31] Lumiere
    I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
[15:33] Finral
    The first Wizard King...
[15:35] Finral
    The legendary statue had life within it.
[15:38] Finral
    And you're—Huh?!
[15:40] Finral
    N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-Nero, is that you?!
[15:53] Secré
    Today, we put an end to this long fight!
[15:58] ---
    Right now, it's not just us.
[16:01] ---
    We have friends that
    feel the same way we do.
[16:05] Secré
    Please...
[16:07] Secré
    Win this, Asta!
[16:12] Yuno
    This light... I can feel my power welling forth.
[16:15] Yuno
    Is Asta at his limit?
[16:19] Yuno
    Asta, I'm gonna leave you
    behind if you can't keep up!
[16:26] Asta
    Where do you think you're going, Yuno?!
[16:30] Devil
    That anti-magic brat
    is merely letting himself
[16:32] Devil
    be pulled along, following that
    wind magic. He's hopeless.
[16:35] Devil
    They're nothing to worry about... hmm?
[16:38] Devil
    Where'd the anti-magic brat go?
[16:41] Devil
    He hid in the shadows of the severed magic!
[16:43] Devil
    He's in my blind spot, coming from
    a different direction!
[16:48] Devil
    They're pulling each other in and speeding up!
[16:51] Devil
    "Sto—"
[16:54] Devil
    "Stop."
[16:55] Devil
    "Weaken!"
[16:56] Devil
    "Go back!"
[16:57] Devil
    "Hold back!"
[16:57] Devil
    "Stop!"
[17:02] Asta
    I reached my... limit?
[17:04] Yuno
    Asta!

    Heavenly Prison: Faint Omen.
[18:02] Secré
    I've sealed his physical damage.
[18:05] Secré
    Now it's just a question of whether he
    can draw out his anti-magic power.
[18:09] Secré
    Asta!
[18:09] Devil
    Die!
[18:11] Devil
    Perish!
[18:12] Devil
    Disappear!

    You go ahead and do that!

    You're going to be...

    You're going to be the Wizard King, right?
[18:38] Asta
    Yeah!
[18:46] Asta
    Right here, right now...
[18:50] Asta
    I'll surpass my limits!

    Impossible...

    Hey there, chief.
[19:36] Devil
    Who...
[19:37] Devil
    Who are you?
[19:39] Devil
    Who...
[19:42] Asta's devil
    Like you need to know that.
[19:44] Asta's devil
    It doesn't matter how
    strong or amazing you are.
[19:46] Asta's devil
    You've lost, and you're about to disappear.
[19:50] Asta's devil
    See ya, loser.
[20:01] Lumiere
    We... won...
[20:04] Secré
    Thank you.
[20:19] ---
    My prince...
[20:25] Lumiere
    I guess it's time.
[20:27] Lumiere
    I don't have the magic to keep
    this body together anymore.
[20:31] Secré
    My prince...
[20:32] Lumiere
    Secré... Though I guess you might be Nero now.
[20:35] Secré
    Will you watch their futures and
    ideals play out for me, as well?
[20:41] Secré
    Prince Lumiere! I've always...
[20:46] Secré
    If you're going, I'll go with you!
[20:48] Lumiere
    I gave everything I had 500 years ago,
[20:50] Lumiere
    and my life was supposed
    to end back then.
[20:54] Lumiere
    But thanks to you, I was
    able to protect the future.
[20:57] Lumiere
    That's more than enough.
[20:59] Lumiere
    I don't want you to close
    off your own potential.
[21:04] Lumiere
    I'm looking forward to futures beyond this one.
[21:08] Lumiere
    Both of the Magic Knights, and the
    Clover Kingdom you'll defend.
[21:17] Secré
    I... The fact that I got to
    serve you for all this time...
[21:22] Secré
    made me very happy!
[21:23] Lumiere
    And I was happy, too.
[21:26] Lumiere
    Five hundred years...

    Thank you so much for waiting
    for me for five hundred years,
[21:31] Lumiere
    Secré.

    My prince...
[21:50] ---
    I'm sure there are many
