[00:05] Nar
    The Clover Kingdom.
[00:07] Nar
    In this kingdom where magic is everything,
[00:09] Nar
    there is one boy who can't use magic.
[00:13] Nar
    His name is Asta.
[00:16] Nar
    With guts and hard work,
    he made it into the Magic Knights,
[00:18] Nar
    and he never gave up,
    despite how much he got hurt.
[00:21] Nar
    He continues to diligently
    aim for the top!
[00:26] Nar
    Even if you are a peasant,
[00:27] Nar
    or even if you're poor...
[00:29] Nar
    Anyone in this world can still shine!
[00:32] Nar
    He's working hard to prove that,
[00:35] Nar
    and to become the Wizard King!
SIGN    Clues
[02:11] Gordon
    Huh? My home?
[02:15] Yami
    Jeez, you're scary.
[02:18] Yami
    The Prickly Queen mentioned it,
     but come to think of it,
[02:22] Yami
    your family's famous for
    curse magic, isn't it?
[02:25] Yami
    Could you go ask them about forbidden magic?
[02:28] Gordon
    Forbidden magic?
[02:32] Yami
    Yeah.
[02:34] Yami
    Forbidden magic uses power
[02:36] Yami
    from another world to meddle with the
    ways of this world or people's lives.
[02:40] Yami
    And that other world is where the devils live.
[02:44] Yami
    I was hoping we'd be able
    to get some information.
[02:48] Gordon
    If our investigation about the
    devils doesn't get any further,
[02:52] Gordon
    my best friend Asta...
[02:56] Gordon
    I was going to try to go again,
    even though I think I'll fail.
[03:02] Gordon
    For Asta's sake!
[03:07] Gordon
    A distinguished family of curse mages...
[03:09] Gordon
    Since cursing people was my family's trade,
[03:13] Gordon
    I never made any friends.
[03:17] Gordon
    On top of that, my family...
[03:20] Gordon
    Even when Asta's arms were cursed
    by a member of the Third Eye...
[03:25] Gordon
    I asked them how we could
    break the spell with a letter,
[03:27] Gordon
    but they wouldn't tell me.
[03:30] Gordon
    But things are different now.
[03:32] Gordon
    Today, I have my friends with me,
    so I feel more confident.
[03:38] Asta
    My arms are falling asleep!
[03:41] Asta
    But I'm not done yet! My muscles are
    screaming in joy, not in agony!
[03:46] Gauche
    Shut up! The only one who gets
    to ride behind me is Marie!
[03:50] Gauche
    Just shut up and hang on!
[03:52] Grey
    It's so embarrassing to meet
    someone I don't know!
[03:56] Gordon
    My friends give me strength.
[03:58] Asta
    Guys! Thanks for doing this for me!
[04:02] Gauche
    Tch. Why the hell do I have to do this?
[04:05] (Flashback) Yami
    Looks like Noelle took off
    to the royal capital,
[04:08] (Flashback) Yami
    and since you all look so sleepy,
    you guys can head out, too.
[04:11] (Flashback) Yami
    You guys are pals, aren't ya?
[04:13] (Flashback) Yami
    I'm definitely not going,
    and I'll kill you if you refuse.
[04:16] Gauche
    Curse our captain for abusing his power.
[04:18] Asta
    So I heard your family's, like,
    really special somehow
[04:21] Asta
    when it comes to curse mages, Gordon.
[04:24] Asta
    What the heck are curse mages, anyway?
[04:28] Gordon
    They... are mages that made a trade out of
[04:32] Gordon
    cursing and bringing misfortune upon others.
[04:35] Gordon
    But I didn't want any part of that.
[04:39] Gordon
    I wanted to be friends with
    people, not to curse them.
[04:43] Gordon
    That's why I pretty much ran away from home.
[04:47] Asta
    I see.
[04:49] Gauche
    You ran away?
[04:50] Gauche
    Will you be able to get any
    information from them, then?
[04:53] Gauche
    Also, they're not gonna curse us, are they?
[04:56] Grey
    Being cursed by someone I
    don't know is so embarrassing!
[05:01] Gauche
    The being cursed part doesn't bother you?!
[05:04] Gordon
    It'll be okay... I think.
[05:06] All
    You think?
[05:18] All
    I wanna go home...
[05:20] Gordon
    Let's go.
[05:27] Gauche
    This is basically a haunted house.
[05:29] Grey
    It's so embarrassing to meet
    a ghost I don't know!
[05:32] Gauche
    Get off of me! Damn it, Grey!
[05:35] Asta
    I wonder what Gordon's family is like.
[05:41] Gordon
    It's me. I'm home.
[05:53] Jonna
    Welcome home, Gordon.
[05:55] Roxanne
    Big Brother...
[05:57] Nathan
    So you decided to come home after all.
[06:01] All
    They all have the same face!
[06:04] Gordon
    Let me introduce you.
SIGN    Father
    Nathan
[06:06] Gordon
    First, this is my dad, Nathan.
SIGN    Mother
    Jonna
[06:09] Gordon
    This is my mom, Jonna.
SIGN    Grandmother
    Nilenia
[06:11] Gordon
    My grandmother, Nilenia.
SIGN    Little Sister
    Roxanne
[06:13] Gordon
    My little sister, Roxanne.
[06:15] Gordon
    And...
[06:17] Asta
    Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[06:19] Gordon
    This is our dog, Nunnally.
[06:21] Both
    Even their dog looks like them...
[06:23] Jonna
    What are you doing to our guest?!
[06:24] Roxanne
    Nunnally, stop!
[06:26] Gauche
    Whoa! Don't all of you come over here at once!
[06:31] Gordon
    Are you all right, Asta?
[06:33] Asta
    Yeah...
[06:34] Asta
    Oh, sorry for the late introduction. I'm Asta.
[06:38] Asta
    And this is Gauche and Grey.
[06:42] Gordon
    They're my friends from the Black Bulls
    that I mentioned in my letter.
[06:46] Nathan
    I see. Well, now that you're all here...
[06:50] Jonna
    Why don't you join us for dinner?
[06:53] Gauche
    Weren't you two strangers
    before you got married?
[06:56] Gauche
    Why do you look so much alike?!
[06:58] Nathan
    Gordon, you haven't had your
    mother's cooking for a while.
[07:01] Nathan
    It must taste exquisite.
[07:03] Nathan
    The eyeballs of the creepy-crawly
     snake are superb.
[07:06] Jonna
    I recommend the raw paralyzing frog, myself.
[07:09] Nilenia
    Bread... Where's the bread?
[07:12] Roxanne
    Grandma, it's in your hands.
[07:15] Nilenia
    Oh, my. And it was on the
    plate just a moment ago...
[07:20] Nilenia
    Where did the bread go?
[07:21] Roxanne
    It's in your mouth.
[07:24] Gordon
    Dad, I want to talk to you about something.
[07:26] Nathan
    I see. You must want seconds.
[07:28] Gordon
    No, Dad...
[07:29] Grey
    Th-They're muttering over here
    and muttering over there...
[07:32] Grey
    I have no idea what any of them are saying.
[07:35] Gauche
    This is so awkward. What the hell is this?
[07:37] Gauche
    And it's not easy to make me feel awkward.
[07:41] Gauche
    Say something, damn it.
[07:43] Gauche
    Aren't we supposed to ask
    about forbidden magic?
[07:45] Grey
    I-I can't...
[07:48] Grey
    Gordon, please stop shaking and ask!
[07:54] Gauche
    Hey, that's the grandma!
[07:55] Asta
    Wow, this stuff looks really gross,
     but it's super yummy!
[08:02] Asta
    It's so good!
[08:03] Gauche
    Why the hell are you having
    fun all by yourself?
[08:08] Grey
    H-Huh?
[08:10] Roxanne
    I think we can become the best of friends.
[08:13] Grey
    Y-You want to give me something?
[08:22] Grey
    What is this?!
[08:26] Nilenia
    Is that you, Nathan? You've grown so big...
[08:30] Nilenia
    You have to protect the House of Agrippa.
[08:34] Gauche
    Old lady, seriously...
[08:36] Jonna
    Oh, dear, Mother...
    Perhaps it's time for your nap.
[08:40] Nilenia
    I'm counting on Nathan.
[08:44] Nilenia
    For the sake of our ancestor who made
    the contract... the curse of Megicula...
[08:50] Jonna
    Yes, Mother.
[08:51] Asta
    Megi...?
[08:55] Roxanne
    Thank you for the meal.
[09:02] Grey
    I-It suddenly got really quiet...
[09:08] Gauche
    All right!
[09:09] Asta
    Gordon! It's the perfect opportunity to ask!
[09:20] Gordon
    Dad, I need to talk to you about something.
[09:25] Gordon
    I basically abandoned the family,
    so I probably have no right to ask...
[09:30] Gordon
    But I have a friend that I want
    to save, no matter what.
[09:37] Gordon
    So could you tell me about
    forbidden magic curses and devils,
[09:40] Gordon
    for the sake of that friend?
[09:49] Nathan
    Sure.
[09:51] All
    That was easy.
[10:00] Nathan
    I'll show you hex research
    worthy of a family
[10:05] Nathan
    with centuries of expertise
    as curse mages,
[10:08] Nathan
    as well as secret arts that deal
    with poison, plague, and death.
[10:15] Nathan
    Are you ready?
[10:30] Gauche
    What the hell is this?
[10:35] Nathan
    Beautiful, isn't it?
[10:37] Nathan
    This is my curse research workshop.
[10:39] Nathan
    I'm researching every kind of pain there is.
[10:43] Gordon
    Dad... So you really were
    researching such evil things.
[10:47] Nathan
    Gordon... I've been earnestly
    waiting for your return.
[10:54] Nathan
    Your poison magic is a talent that makes
    you worthy of inheriting my research.
[11:00] Gordon
    I only came here to ask about
    devil-related curses for Asta.
[11:05] Gordon
    I'm not coming home to stay!
[11:08] Nathan
    Oh, don't be like that.
[11:10] Nathan
    Death by curses, poisons, drugs...
[11:14] Nathan
    If you want to learn those secrets,
    I'll teach you all of them.
[11:18] Gordon
    What do you think a person's life is?
[11:20] Nathan
    Humans die so quickly.
[11:22] Nathan
    That includes your friends.
    Life is so fleeting.
[11:36] Nathan
    Black Oil Creation Magic:
    Curse-Filled Nails.
[11:40] ---
    Guys!
[11:48] All
    Asta!
[11:52] Asta
    Wait, I'm fine?
[11:58] Nathan
    Hm... 36.5 degrees.
[12:01] Nathan
    Your temperature is normal.
[12:03] Nathan
    I don't see any physical abnormalities,
[12:06] Nathan
    though you really don't have magic.
[12:09] Gordon
    Dad, what are you...
[12:13] Nathan
    Well? I rechanneled what I know about
    poisons that usually harm people,
[12:16] Nathan
    as well as our family's hereditary
    expertise in curse killing,
[12:19] Nathan
    into health management and medical treatment.
[12:23] Nathan
    That being said, this endeavor
    just started with my generation,
[12:27] Nathan
    so I'm only able to cure normal diseases.
[12:30] Nathan
    I wasn't able to help when
    your arms were afflicted
[12:33] Nathan
    with an ancient curse, but...
[12:36] Nathan
    What's the matter?
[12:37] Asta
    So, uh... You rechanneled your
    knowledge about killing with curses
[12:41] Asta
    toward health management
    and medical treatment...
[12:44] Asta
    So, wait, does that make you a recovery mage?
[12:48] Nathan
    Yes, starting with my generation, at least.
[12:52] Gordon
    I had no idea...
[12:55] Gordon
    I totally thought you were
    cursing people to death.
[12:58] Gauche
    You people need to learn how to communicate!
[13:00] Gauche
    You're going to give people the
    wrong idea with those things!
[13:04] Grey
    You really can't judge a book by its cover!
[13:07] Gordon
    Dad, does that mean you're
    going to help us out?
[13:11] Nathan
    But of course.
[13:13] Nathan
    What did you want to know about
    devils and forbidden magic?
[13:17] Nathan
    Let's hear the details first.
[13:21] Asta
    Yes, sir!
[13:36] Dorothy
    Okay. Now I've sent most of the
    large debris into my dreams.
[13:43] Man
    In mere moments!
[13:45] Man
    That's the Captain of the
    Coral Peacocks for you!
[13:47] Lady
    Thank you so much, Lady Dorothy.
[13:50] Noelle
    I'm glad you're still awake.
[13:55] Dorothy
    Well, well...
[13:57] Dorothy
    If it isn't the littlest sister
    of the House of Silva.
[14:00] Dorothy
    Did you need something?
[14:02] Noelle
    I want to know the truth
    behind my mother's death.
[14:10] Dorothy
    Did you hear something from Nozel?
[14:12] Noelle
    Yes. When we went to see
    Solid and Nebra yesterday...
[14:21] (Flashback) Noelle
    Wh-What did you just say, Nozel?
[14:24] (Flashback) Noelle
    What do you mean, Mother didn't
    die because she gave birth to me?
[14:28] (Flashback) Nozel
    When she was pregnant with you,
[14:30] (Flashback) Nozel
    Mother was already haunted by a
    death that she could not escape.
[14:36] (Flashback) Nozel
    It was not an injury or an illness.
[14:39] (Flashback) Nozel
    It was a death that should
    not happen in this world.
[14:44] (Flashback) Noelle
    A death that should not happen in this world?
[14:47] (Flashback) Noelle
    But that sounds like the work of
    the devils we're currently investi—
[14:51] (Flashback) Nozel
    Say any more, and your life
    will be in danger, too.
[14:58] (Flashback) Nozel
    If you still have the courage
    to face the truth knowing that,
[15:03] (Flashback) Nozel
    then go speak with Captain Dorothy Unsworth
     of the Coral Peacocks.
[15:11] Noelle
    Tell me. Why did my mother have to die?
[15:15] Dorothy
    Sure thing! I could never
    say no to a cute girl!
[15:20] Noelle
    She's so easy.
[15:21] Dorothy
    Well, I'm leaving the rest to you guys, then.
[15:23] Squad
    Yes, Captain Dorothy!
[15:25] Guy
    Then again, it's not like
    we have anything to do.
[15:27] Guy
    Captain Dorothy's amazing
    when she's actually awake!
[15:30] Noelle
    Um... Did my mother's death involve a devil?
[15:34] Dorothy
    Shh...
[15:35] Dorothy
    Didn't Nozel tell you?
[15:38] Dorothy
    You shouldn't speak of that.
[15:41] Dorothy
    You'll get cursed.
[15:46] Dorothy
    At least, in this world.
[15:54] Noelle
    Huh?
[15:59] Noelle
    Where am I?
[16:01] Dorothy
    Welcome!
[16:03] Dorothy
    To Dream Magic: Glamour World!
[16:06] Dorothy
    This is a world of dreams.
[16:08] Dorothy
    A world separated from the outside world.
    Everything here is under my control.
[16:15] Dorothy
    Here, have some tea.
[16:22] Dorothy
    Usually, I trap bad people
    in here and punish them,
[16:26] Dorothy
    or I transport buildings or
    injured people in here, like today.
[16:31] Noelle
    What in the world is this large-scale spell?
[16:34] Noelle
    So this is Glamour World?
[16:37] Noelle
    Everything's under her control?
    But that's crazy.
[16:41] Noelle
    This tea is good.
[16:42] Asta
    Noelle!
[16:44] Asta
    Heya.
[16:45] Noelle
    Asta! What are you doing here?
[16:48] Asta
    More importantly... Hup!
[16:52] Asta
    You sure are cute today, Noelle.
[16:55] Noelle
    Wait, wha—
[16:56] Asta
    I just want to keep staring
    at how cute you are!
[16:59] Noelle
    W-Wait, no! Th-This isn't...
[17:01] Dorothy
    That's the boy I created from your thoughts.
[17:05] Asta
    Yup! You think about me all the time!
[17:09] Noelle
    What?! I absolutely do not!
[17:13] Asta
    Oh, no!
[17:16] Dorothy
    Oh, dearie me. You did also come
    here for his sake, didn't you?
[17:20] Noelle
    Not at all! Not even a little!
[17:24] Dorothy
    But just so you know, this is the perfect
    place to have secret conversations.
[17:28] Noelle
    Secret? You mean...
[17:31] Nozel
    It's the perfect place to talk about Mother.
[17:35] Noelle
    Now it's Nozel?
[17:37] Dorothy
    Though this is a Nozel that I thought up.
[17:42] Dorothy
    You came to visit me after
    talking to the real him, right?
[17:46] Dorothy
    About the thing he hasn't
    told any of his siblings.
[17:50] Dorothy
    Your mother, Acier Silva, lost her
     life due to a devil's curse.
[17:58] Noelle
    My mother... But why didn't Nozel tell anyone?
[18:02] Dorothy
    Because those who speak of
    it will share the same fate.
[18:06] Dorothy
    That's the nature of the curse
    that befell your mother.
[18:12] Dorothy
    That's why he didn't tell
    you or your siblings,
[18:16] Dorothy
    and why I told him to come to me in
    this world, because he can only talk
[18:19] Dorothy
    about this curse in a world that's
    separated from the outside world.
[18:23] Nozel
    I'm sorry it took me so long
    to tell you this, Noelle.
[18:29] Nozel
    I didn't want to put you in danger.
[18:32] Nozel
    Ah, Noelle...
[18:34] Noelle
    Nozel?
[18:36] Nozel
    Ah, Noelle!
[18:37] Nozel
    Noelle!
[18:39] Nozel
    My precious little Noelle!
[18:41] Nozel
    I love you so, so much that I just
    don't know what to do with myself!
[18:46] Nozel
    Noelle, Noelle, Noe—
[18:52] Noelle
    Nozel!
[18:53] Noelle
    Hey! Quit messing around with Nozel!
[18:56] Dorothy
    Aw, but that's how Nozel always seems to me!
[19:04] Nozel
    What in the world was that chill just now?
[19:08] Dorothy
    Well, now that Nozel's gone
    flying away, let's get back on topic.
[19:14] Dorothy
    The devils that live in the other world
[19:15] Dorothy
    don't appear in our world unless
    there's been some kind of anomaly.
[19:21] Dorothy
    Mages can use forbidden magic,
    contract them by paying a price
[19:24] Dorothy
    of some sort, and use their power
    in a limited way, but that's it.
[19:28] Dorothy
    Or that was supposed to be the case,
[19:30] Dorothy
    but now, their shadow is
    wriggling around in our world.
[19:36] Dorothy
    The devil's name is Megicula.
[19:39] Noelle
    Megicula... That's the
    devil who killed my mother!
[19:42] Noelle
    And the key to saving Asta!
[19:46] Nathan
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[19:49] Nathan
    After hearing what you said yesterday,
[19:51] Nathan
    I looked into what our ancestors had
    to say about magic that collects curses.
[19:57] Nathan
    Investigating curses... Our magic
    is basically made for that.
[20:04] Nathan
    Black Oil Creation Magic:
    Curse Candle Ritual Disk.
[20:16] Grey
    Is this...
[20:17] Gauche
    The Clover Kingdom?
[20:19] Asta
    Holy crap!
[20:21] Nathan
    The flames are curses.
[20:23] Nathan
    Flame intensity shows depth and viciousness.
[20:25] Nathan
    This is a map of the sickness
    eroding our kingdom.
[20:29] Grey
    That flame is insanely fierce! Huh?
[20:33] Gauche
    That's our hideout!
[20:34] Asta
    Wait... Then there's someone
    in the Black Bulls who's cursed?
[20:39] Gauche
    The only one in our squad
    who's not normal is...
[20:42] Grey
    L-Let's see... All Luck ever
    thinks about is fighting,
[20:46] Grey
    Finral's always thinking about girls...
[20:50] Grey
    And all Vanessa ever does is drink.
[20:53] Gordon
    Captain Yami always takes an extremely
    long time in the bathroom.
[20:56] Gauche
    So basically...
[20:57] All
    None of them are normal.
[20:59] Asta
    Wait, wait, wait! What kind of curse
    makes you stay in the bathroom forever?
[21:03] Asta
    And if we're gonna get into it, everyone
    here is pretty undoubtedly unique, too!
[21:08] All
    What?
[21:09] Grey
    B-Being called unique is too embarrassing!
[21:12] Grey
    Huh? Bone!
[21:14] Gordon
    But I'm completely normal.
[21:15] Gauche
    At any rate,
[21:16] Gauche
    you're the last one I want to hear
    that from, you zero-magic meathead!
[21:23] Asta
    Oh, speaking of magic,
[21:25] Asta
    maybe this is reacting to Henry.
[21:28] Gauche
    Oh, yeah. I guess his condition that
    sucks away everyone else's mana
[21:32] Gauche
    could definitely be a curse.
[21:33] Gordon
    Yeah, he's cursed.
[21:35] Grey
    Indeed, he is.
[21:37] Nathan
    There's a huge flame in
    the royal capital, as well.
[21:40] Nathan
    I can't tell who exactly is cursed,
[21:44] Nathan
    but if you include the smaller
    flames, that's quite a few.
[21:48] Gauche
    Can't we get a look at a bigger area?
[21:50] Nathan
    If we go too far out, the accuracy falls.
[21:56] Gauche
    That's...
[21:57] Grey
    The Heart Kingdom...
[21:59] Gordon
    And there's a very big flame coming from there.
[22:03] Asta
    Maybe there's a clue about the devil there!
[23:39] Gordon
    You're my dad, Nathan.
[23:41] Gordon
    We found some clues
    on devils because of you.
[23:43] Gordon
    Thanks, Dad-Who's-Also-Nathan!
[23:45] Gordon
    My best friends are really happy, too!
[23:47] Some
    Next time on Black Clover, 
    Page 128: "To the Heart Kingdom!"
SIGN    Page 128
    
     To the Heart Kingdom!
[23:51] Gordon
    Wait, I'm staying home?
