**[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
protects the land from the shadows...
**[23:19] Ina**
Did you really think that up at your age?
**[23:21] Zora**
No, that was my dad, Zara Ideale.
**[23:23] Ina**
Lying is the first step to becoming a thief!
