[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!
[00:25] 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    Tolsa Village
[00:45] (Flashback) Zara
    Those flowers are for me?
[00:47] (Flashback) Guy
    Yes. You like them, don't you?
[00:49] (Flashback) Zara
    Aren't you supposed to be selling them, though?
[00:51] (Flashback) Guy
    It's fine. You're my hero, Zara.
[00:55] (Flashback) Zora
    Dad.
[00:57] (Flashback) Zara
    Zora! Come here a sec!
[01:01] (Flashback) Guy
    Well, I'll be going now.
[01:07] (Flashback) Zora
    What was that about?
[01:09] (Flashback) Zara
    Don't these smell great, Zora?
     I love this scent.
[01:15] (Flashback) Zora
    Yeah, I know.
SIGN    In Zara's Footsteps
[02:51] (Flashback) Zora
    What a pain. Like I have time for that.
[02:55] (Flashback) Zora
    Train together, my ass.
[02:57] (Flashback) Zora
    I didn't join the squad so I could
    be all buddy-buddy with you guys.
[03:04] Zora
    I left on a journey to train
    since I didn't have time
[03:08] Zora
    to bother with the rest of the Black Bulls,
[03:12] Zora
    but how long am I going to keep doing this?
[03:18] Zora
    Right, Dad?
[03:28] Zora
    Could it have been someone from
    the village? Yeah, no way.
[03:32] Zora
    It's true that Dad was called the pride of
[03:34] Zora
    Tolsa Village because he was
    the first peasant Magic Knight.
[03:48] Zora
    But that's all in the past.
[04:08] Ina
    Damn it!
[04:11] Zora
    He's not even using a grimoire?
[04:14] Zora
    Guess he has potential.
    Well, do your best, I gues—
[04:24] Ina
    Who's there?!
[04:26] Kaito
    Whoops, my bad.
[04:27] Baddie 1
    Wow! You hit the target all the way from here!
[04:30] Baddie 1
    Your flame magic is amazing, Kaito!
[04:33] Baddie 2
    I can't wait for you to take
    the Magic Knights Entrance Exam!
[04:37] Kaito
    Oh, stop. This isn't the time for that.
[04:40] Zora
    I'm guessing that brat's some rich kid who
    came to a summer resort for some R&R.
[04:46] Kaito
    What's that look for?
[04:48] Ina
    Apologize!
[04:49] Baddie 1
    Did you just tell Kaito to apologize?!
[04:51] Baddie 2
    Watch your tongue!
[04:54] Kaito
    Oh, stop. He's just a child who doesn't even
    have a grimoire yet, and a peasant at that.
[05:02] Kaito
    Here you go.
[05:04] Kaito
    That should settle things, right?
[05:06] Kaito
    Let's go.
[05:07] Ina
    I'm sorry I'm a peasant.
[05:09] Kaito
    What?
[05:11] Ina
    But when I turn fifteen and get my grimoire...
[05:14] Kaito
    I hope you're not about to say you're
    going to join the Magic Knights.
[05:17] Ina
    I am! I'm joining the Magic Knights!
[05:20] Kaito
    Don't bother. It's impossible for peasants.
[05:24] Ina
    But there are peasants in the Magic Knights!
[05:27] Kaito
    Are there?
[05:29] Baddie 2
    They've made quite the buzz lately.
[05:32] Kaito
    I'm sure they only got in because they had
    dirt on a current Magic Knight or something.
[05:37] Ina
    I know for a fact that Zara
    Ideale didn't join that way!
[05:43] Kaito
    Zara Ideale?
[05:45] Baddie 1
    I've never heard of him.
[05:47] Baddie 2
    What squad?
[05:48] Ina
    The Purple Orcas!
[05:49] Kaito
    The Purple Orcas?
[05:51] Kaito
    The squad at the center of
    all the unsavory rumors after
[05:54] Kaito
    their captain got replaced
    because of a scandal?
[05:57] Ina
    Zara's an amazing Magic Knight!
[05:59] Kaito
    Yeah?
[06:00] Kaito
    How? If he's that amazing,
    he must be renowned for something.
[06:04] Kaito
    Well? Isn't he?
[06:07] Ina
    H-He died during a mission.
[06:13] Kaito
    See? This is exactly my point.
[06:15] Kaito
    Peasants should know their place and
    just stay in their villages until they die.
[06:20] Ina
    Shut up!
[06:25] Baddie 2
    What's that magic?
[06:28] Kaito
    Teach him a lesson.
[06:30] Baddie
    Okay.
[06:34] Baddie 2
    You stupid peasant!
[06:36] Baddie 1
    Apologize to Kaito!
[06:37] Ina
    No!
[06:39] Baddie 2
    Apologize!
[06:40] Ina
    I didn't do anything wrong!
[06:43] Kaito
    I see...
[06:48] Zora
    That's enough.
[06:51] Kaito
    Wh-Who are you?
[06:56] Kaito and Baddies
    That reeks!
[06:58] Ina
    Hold it!
[07:07] Ina
    That power...
[07:09] Kaito
    Y-You'll regret this, you peasant!
[07:13] Zora
    Are you stupid?
[07:16] Zora
    Don't pick fights when you're
    up against three guys like that.
[07:20] Zora
    You don't even have a grimoire.
    There's no way you would've won.
[07:24] Zora
    Try using that tiny little brain of yours.
[07:30] Zora
    Though... what you said about Zara Ideale
    being an amazing Magic Knight
[07:35] Zora
    isn't exactly wrong.
[07:38] Dad
    Ina? Is that you?
[07:41] Ina
    Dad!
[07:43] Dad
    Ina, what happened to you? Don't tell me...
[07:48] Ina
    This masked guy... saved me.
[07:53] Dad
    What? I-I'm sorry for any
    trouble my son caused you.
[08:00] Dad
    Ina, what happened? Tell me.
[08:04] Dad
    Did you do something you can't tell me about?
[08:08] Kaito
    Peasants should know their place and
    just stay in their villages until they die.
[08:13] Ina
    Why was I born to peasants?
[08:17] Ina
    If I wasn't born into a peasant family,
    I would've had greater magic powers.
[08:23] Ina
    If only you weren't my father!
[08:25] Zora
    Hey!
[08:27] Dad
    Wait!
[08:30] Dad
    He's exactly right.
[08:32] Zora
    What?
[08:33] Dad
    If I weren't in this state, he wouldn't
    have to help me with my work.
[08:38] Dad
    I could've given him more
    time to train with magic.
[08:43] Dad
    I'm a failure as a father.
[08:48] Ina
    L-Let go of me!
[08:51] Dad
    Wh-Where are you going?
[08:55] Dad
    Wait, have I seen that
    young man somewhere before?
[09:02] Ina
    What the hell are you doing?!
[09:04] Zora
    Cool Mask Guy.
[09:05] Ina
    Huh?
[09:06] Zora
    That's what you'll call me.
[09:07] Ina
    What the hell are you talking about?
[09:09] Zora
    Listen up, you shitty little shrimp...
[09:11] Zora
    No, you snot-nosed shrimp.
[09:13] Ina
    Who're you calling a snot-nosed shrimp?!
[09:15] Zora
    You probably know this,
    but I'll remind you anyway.
[09:18] Zora
    The amazing Magic Knight you were
    just praising was also a peasant.
[09:22] Ina
    So what if he was?
[09:24] Ina
    Are you trying to say he's
    way different than me?
[09:27] Zora
    It's true that Zara Ideale never
    lamented his upbringing,
[09:32] Zora
    and never said anything bad about anyone.
[09:36] ina
    You knew Zara, Mask Guy?!
[09:38] Zora
    That's Cool Mask Guy to you.
[09:41] Zora
    But as you said, he's way different than you.
[09:49] Ina
    I know... that I'm aiming too high.
[09:55] Zara
    I'm aiming too high?
[09:57] (Flashback) Zora
    Yeah. You're a peasant, yet you
    want to join the Magic Knights.
[10:02] (Flashback) Zara
    I don't remember how many times I've failed
    the Magic Knights Entrance Exam, Zora.
[10:07] (Flashback) Zara
    But I don't believe I'm aiming too high, either.
[10:11] (Flashback) Zara
    I'm always telling you that I'm gonna
    join the Magic Knights, aren't I?
[10:16] (Flashback) Zara
    That's because I really believe I can!
[10:25] Zora
    You said you were gonna join
    the Magic Knights, didn't you?
[10:28] Ina
    So you heard me. You got a problem with that?
[10:31] Zora
    I never said I did.
[10:34] Zora
    But if you're able to say that, doesn't that
    mean you really believe you can do it?
[10:41] Zora
    That's not what you'd call aiming too high.
[10:45] Zora
    Zara Ideale said the same thing.
[10:49] Ina
    I really believe I can do it?
[10:53] Zora
    Let me give you some advice, snot-nosed shrimp.
[10:56] Ina
    Stop calling me a snot-nosed shrimp!
[10:58] Ina
    Wait, what's that?
[11:01] Ina
    Isn't that doll... you?
[11:03] Zora
    This is the envoy of justice,
     the Super Magic Knight Zora.
[11:07] Ina
    I'm twelve years old, you know...
[11:09] Zora
    He has a mouth on him,
    but he's as good as his word.
[11:12] Zora
    He's a warrior who protects
    the country behind the scenes.
[11:14] Ina
    What the hell kind of backstory is that?
[11:16] Ina
    You look like that, but you're
     into dolls? Really?
[11:20] Zora
    Zora was also the child of a peasant,
    but he didn't idolize nobles or royalty.
[11:26] Zora
    That's because he could do something
    nobles and royalty couldn't.
[11:29] Ina
    Stop ignoring me! Wait, something
    nobles and royalty couldn't do?
[11:36] Zora
    Now, I wonder what that could be?
[11:38] Ina
    How the hell would I know?
[11:40] Zora
    I'm sure you wouldn't.
[11:42] Zora
    But if you don't know that,
    you'll never be able to join
[11:45] Zora
    the Magic Knights.
[12:09] Zora
    Zora was also the child of a peasant,
    but he didn't idolize nobles or royalty.
[12:15] (Flashback) Zora
    That's because he could do something
    nobles and royalty couldn't.
[12:19] (Flashback) Zora
    Now, I wonder what that could be?
[12:22] Dad
    Ina, let's take a lunch break.
[12:24] Dad
    I'll take care of the afternoon work.
[12:27] Dad
    You can go practice your magic if you want.
[12:48] Kaito
    You got lucky yesterday,
[12:50] Kaito
    but you'll pay for embarrassing me.
[12:54] Kaito
    I've come to collect.
[12:57] Kaito
    Do you know what this is, peasant?
[13:02] Zora
    A magic item?
[13:03] Kaito
    Now that I have this...
[13:06] Zora
    Whoa, now... A kid shouldn't
    be playing with that.
[13:10] Kaito
    Apologize. That's not too difficult, is it?
[13:13] Kaito
    You just need to grovel right there.
[13:16] Ina
    I didn't do anything wrong!
[13:18] Kaito
    What did you just say?
[13:19] Kaito
    You're not going to get off with just
    a few scratches. Hurry up and—
[13:26] Zora
    You dumbass!
[13:42] Zora
    That's the second time. Stick to
     your usual toys, you brat.
[13:51] Ina
    You're really strong, huh?
[13:53] Ina
    You're not a Magic Knight... are you?
[13:55] Zora
    Who knows?
[14:17] Dad
    Ina...
[14:21] Noble
    So you must be the little thief.
[14:25] Dad
    May I help you?
[14:30] Dad
    What do you think you're doing to my son?!
[14:33] Noble
    See for yourself.
[14:34] Dad
    That's... a magic item!
[14:36] Noble
    Your son stole it from my villa.
[14:40] Ina
    I-I did not!
[14:43] Noble
    What are you talking about?
    You clearly had the magic item.
[14:49] Ina
    Your son took it! I just picked
    it up after he dropped it!
[14:55] Noble
    Is that true, Kaito?
[14:58] Kaito
    Don't let him fool you.
    You can never trust a peasant.
[15:04] Kaito
    You taught me that yourself, Father.
[15:06] Noble
    That I did. You're coming with me!
[15:09] Noble
    I'm taking you to the royal capital
     so they can arrest you
[15:11] Noble
    as the burglar that you are!
[15:13] Dad
    Ina!
[15:13] Ina
    Let go of me! I'm not a thief!
[15:20] Dad
    Let go of my son!
[15:23] Noble
    And what if I refuse?
[15:25] Dad
    I believe my son!
[15:28] Dad
    I won't let you take him!
[15:31] Ina
    Dad...
[15:35] Noble
    You filthy peasant...
    You'll pay for your insolence!
[15:40] Ina
    Dad!
[15:45] Noble
    What?!
[15:49] Ina
    Dad! The flowers!
[15:51] Dad
    Don't worry.
[15:57] Noble
    You wouldn't have to get hurt
    if you just knew your place.
[16:14] Dad
    That magic...
[16:16] Noble
    You'll be wiping off that smug look soon enough!
[16:20] noble
    I have proof that your son is a thief!
[16:24] noble
    I'll just ask the Magic Knights to deal with it!
[16:27] Zora
    Then let's see this so-called proof.
[16:31] Noble
    Wh-Who are you?
[16:36] Noble
    That robe...
[16:39] Noble
    You're a Black Bull!
[16:40] Ina
    So he really is...
[16:43] Noble
    Perfect timing! I need you to
    capture these thieves for me!
[16:48] Zora
    And I'm telling you to show me proof.
[16:50] Noble
    O-Of course!
[16:52] Noble
    You saw him take it from the villa, didn't you?
[16:55] Ina
    U-Um...
[16:58] Zora
    I just happened to be present
    when your precious little boy
[17:00] Zora
    used a magic item to mess
    with the snot-nosed shrimp here.
[17:05] Zora
    After I interceded, I saw him
    drop it and run off like a coward.
[17:12] Zora
    I'm guessing your dad found
    out the magic item was missing,
[17:15] Zora
    so you tried to place the blame
    on the snot-nosed shrimp.
[17:20] Zora
    You're the only thief here.
[17:22] Zora
    They say lying is the first
    step to becoming a thief,
[17:25] Zora
    but I guess it was the other way around for you.
[17:28] Zora
    You're just the stupid son
    of a worthless noble.
[17:30] Noble
    Is this true, Kaito?
[17:33] Zora
    Here's your proof.
[17:36] Noble
    Wh-What happened?!
[17:38] Zora
    You took it, didn't you?
[17:40] Kaito
    Y-Yes! I'm really sorry!
[17:43] Noble
    W-Wait, Kaito!
[17:46] Noble
    I'll let you off the hook today!
[17:49] Zora
    Let them off the hook, my ass!
[17:52] Zora
    They say a child is the
    reflection of his parents.
[17:54] Zora
    Clearly, you two are the
    dictionary definition of that.
[17:58] Zora
    I've been sick of nobles for a long time,
    but you have no right to raise a child!
[18:05] Zora
    You're a worthless noble
    and a failure as a father.
[18:09] Zora
    This item is too good for you.
[18:12] Zora
    Get moving, or I'll kill you.
[18:16] Noble
    Yes, sir!
[18:20] Zora
    They even run away the same way.
[18:23] Ina
    Dad...
[18:25] Ina
    I never knew you could use such powerful magic.
[18:31] Dad
    I've failed the Magic Knights
    Entrance Exam numerous times.
[18:36] Dad
    It's embarrassing to say, but this
    injury came from one of those failures.
[18:42] Dad
    But still, I can't give up.
[18:46] Dad
    Even while I do my usual work,
    I constantly train with my magic.
[18:51] Dad
    Because I want to be like my hero.
[18:55] Dad
    He also failed numerous times,
    but ultimately, he joined the Magic Knights.
[19:00] Dad
    I'm sure he worked really hard for it.
[19:04] (Flashback) Zora
    Zora was also the child of a peasant,
    but he didn't idolize nobles or royalty.
[19:09] (Flashback) Zora
    That's because he could do something
    nobles and royalty couldn't.
[19:13] (Flashback) Zora
    Now, I wonder what that could be?
[19:16] Ina
    I figured it out, Cool Mask Guy.
[19:19] Dad
    Cool Mask Guy?
[19:21] Ina
    The thing Zora was able to do.
[19:23] Zora
    Then you should know what you
    need to say to your dad, too.
[19:29] Ina
    I'm sorry, Dad... for what I said to you.
[19:32] Dad
    Ina...
[19:34] Ina
    I'm sure you'll be able to join
    the Magic Knights someday!
[19:38] Dad
    I won't be joining alone.
[19:40] Ina
    Huh?
[19:41] Dad
    Let's both do our best together, Ina!
[19:44] Ina
    Yeah!
[19:49] Ina
    By the way...
[19:51] Ina
    Why did you even bother with me?
[19:54] Zora
    No particular reason.
[19:56] Ina
    I see.
[20:00] Ina
    I guess you really are a Super Magic Knight.
[20:03] Zora
    What?
[20:05] Ina
    You're a Magic Knight.
    You're wearing a robe, aren't you?
[20:08] Zora
    I never got as far as
    becoming a Super Magic Knight.
[20:11] Zora
    Now, I'm just striving to
    become a true Magic Knight.
[20:15] Zora
    Just like you.
[20:16] Ina
    Yeah! I'll join the Magic Knights someday!
[20:20] Zora
    Well, do your best, snot-nosed shrimp.
[20:24] Ina
    Yeah!
[20:27] Ina
    A rainbow stinkbug!
[20:29] Ina
    It reeks!
[20:41] (Flashback) Yuno
    I'm the one who'll become the Wizard King.
[20:43] (Flashback) Asta
    Nope, it's me!
[20:46] Zora
    They're only able to say that because
    they truly believe they can.
[20:53] Zora
    Just watch, Dad.
[20:55] Zora
    I'll make it to this zero stage.
[21:00] Zora
    Guess whipping the other Black Bulls
    into shape would help with that.
[21:04] Zora
    Those jerks are such a handful.
SIGN    Petit Clover
[22:42] All
    Petit Clover!
SIGN    Super Magic Knight Zora
[22:46] Zora
    Super Magic Knight Zora!
[22:50] (Flashback) Zara
    Boom! The envoy of justice,
    the Super Magic Knight Zora!
[22:54] (Flashback) Zora
    I'm twelve years old, you know...
[22:56] Zora
    And now, I'm 25!
[22:58] Zora
    I now have something more
    suitable for my age!
[23:01] Zora
    Newly sculpted, painted, and fully articulated!
[23:04] Zora
    The envoy of justice, Super Magic Knight Zora!
[23:07] Ina
    Hey.
[23:08] Zora
    Gulp.
[23:09] Ina
    So you really do like playing with dolls!
[23:11] Zora
    W-Wait, I can explain...
[23:13] Ina
    He has a mouth on him,
    but he's as good as his word.
[23:16] Ina
    This delusion of a warrior who
