[00:05] Nar
    The Clover Kingdom.
[00:06] Nar
    In this kingdom where magic is everything,
[00:08] Nar
    there is one boy who can't use magic.
[00:10] Nar
    His name is Asta.
[00:12] Nar
    He puts in blood, sweat, and tears
    in hopes of becoming the Wizard King.
[00:17] Nar
    But there are also those in the kingdom
    who possess at least a little bit of mana,
[00:22] Nar
    yet can barely use any magic at all.
[00:27] Nar
    The very few out of the population,
    those who live in the shadows...
[00:36] Nar
    They are also trying to survive.
[00:50] Man
    Run away!
[00:52] Girl A
    Mommy!
[00:52] Girl A
    Someone help me!
[00:58] Nar
    On that night in the Clover Kingdom
[00:59] Nar
    when chaos reigned due to the
    reincarnation of the elves...
[01:02] Dazu
    Dear! Mother! Hang in there!
[01:06] Nar
    Dazu, who lived in a town called Tiulyu,
    lost her husband and mother-in-law.
[01:20] Nar
    Along with another resident of
    Tiulyu named Bow, she decided
[01:23] Nar
    to confront Kabwe,
    a member of the Magic Parliament.
[01:26] Nar
    Kabwe hated devils immensely,
    and the fact that
[01:30] Nar
    Asta, Nero, and Marie, who were supposed
    to be sentenced for being devil-possessed,
[01:35] Nar
    had their trial delayed by Damnatio made
    Kabwe resent the situation even more.
[01:40] Nar
    They eventually took action.
[01:43] Nar
    They assumed the title "Devil Banishers"
    and kidnapped Marie from the church in Nean.
[01:49] Siona
    You're not getting away again,
     servant of the devil.
[01:53] Marie
    But I'm not a servant of the devil...
[01:56] Onoby
    We must return the scale that's tilted
    toward darkness back to the light.
[02:00] Onoby
    Let's go!
[02:02] Marie
    Someone... Save me!
[02:04] Marie
    Big Brother! Big Brother!
[02:08] Nar
    Around the same time,
[02:09] Nar
    Asta and Nero were put to sleep so
    they could be taken away, but...
[02:14] Asta
    Let go of Nero!
[02:17] Nero
    Asta...
[02:19] Noelle
    What are you doing?!
[02:22] Noelle
    Get away from Asta and Nero!
[02:24] Nero
    Sealing Magic: Inverse Release!
[02:32] Asta
    My body... Crap! I'm gonna di...
[02:36] Kabwe
    Let's hurry and take them.
[02:38] Noelle
    Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's...
[02:40] Mask C
    Plant Magic: The Flower on the Roadside!
[02:42] Noelle
    Water—
[02:44] Kabwe
    Let's go!
[02:48] Noelle
    Asta! Nero!
[02:50] Mask D
    She's fast!
[02:51] Noelle
    Sea Dragon's Waterball!
[02:55] Nar
    Noelle stopped them.
[02:58] Nar
    But in the end, Nero was still taken.
[03:01] nar
    And Asta....
[03:03] Noelle
    Hold it! Who are you?!
[03:06] Dazu
    We are the Devil Banishers.
[03:08] Bow
    We wish for the demise of the devil.
[03:11] Noelle
    You're not getting away! Give Nero back!
[03:16] Noelle
    Asta!
[03:18] Noelle
    Wake up!
[03:20] Noelle
    Asta!
SIGN    The Tilted Scale
[05:10] Onoby
    I see you made it safely.
[05:12] Kabwe
    How did things go?
[05:18] Siona
    We had no problems.
[05:25] Onoby
    Where's Asta?
[05:27] Mask D
    We apologize.
[05:29] Dazu
    Someone got in the way.
[05:32] Onoby
    I see.
[05:33] Kabwe
    But by now, he should be...
[05:38] Kabwe
    in a deep sleep.
[05:48] Noelle
    How is Asta? He's still alive, isn't he?!
[05:51] Owen
    Don't worry, he's alive.
[05:54] Noelle
    Then why won't he open his eyes?
[05:57] Noelle
    Even if he's alive, what if he's under some
    spell that will keep him asleep forever?
[06:03] Owen
    Don't worry. Asta's not
    asleep because of a spell.
[06:07] Noelle
    Huh?
[06:08] Gordon
    I see. The reason Asta's still asleep is...
[06:12] Marx
    E-Excuse me!
[06:16] Marx
    What possessed you to bring
    me here all of a sudden?
[06:23] Marx
    Asta?!
[06:24] Yami
    So the kid's still asleep?
[06:28] Noelle
    What do you mean, he's not
    asleep because of a spell?
[06:32] Yami
    You're not gonna suggest it's some
    sleeping potion, are you, you quack?
[06:36] Owen
    That's exactly it.
[06:40] Owen
    It's quite surprising, really.
[06:42] Owen
    I don't know who did it, but to think
    someone could make one this powerful...
[06:47] Noelle
    Why would anyone have a sleeping potion?
[06:50] Owen
    That, I can't answer.
[06:52] Owen
    If he just continues to rest for a while,
    he should wake up on his own.
[06:57] Noelle
    Thank goodness.
[06:59] Yami
    So since they put him to sleep, they weren't
    planning to kill him right off the bat.
[07:05] Marx
    First, let's see what exactly happened to Asta.
SIGN    A Town in the Common Realm, Nean
[07:15] Gauche
    Damn it, you old hag! This is the third time!
[07:20] Theresa
    The third time?
[07:22] Gauche
    That's how many times Marie's
    been put in danger!
[07:25] Gauche
    First was when these assholes took her!
[07:28] Gauche
    Then it was the trial, and now this!
[07:32] Gauche
    The third time's the charm!
[07:34] Gauche
    Now I'm gonna kill you!
[07:36] Finral
    Gauche! You shouldn't be
    so rough with the elderly!
[07:39] Gauche
    You can shut your mouth!
[07:41] Finral
    This isn't even about seniority
    anymore! You're just rude!
[07:44] Theresa
    Even though this happened while I was gone,
     I have nothing to say in my defense.
[07:49] Theresa
    But isn't there something
    more important you need to do
[07:53] Theresa
    before you try to strangle an old lady?
[08:01] Neige
    Where's Marie?!
[08:03] Gauche
    Hey, you! What the hell happened to Marie?!
[08:06] Neige
    Y-You're...
[08:08] Gauche
    Tell me or I'll kill you!
[08:10] Neige
    S-Some masked guys calling themselves
    the Devil Banishers took Marie...
[08:15] Gauche
    Who the hell are they?!
[08:17] Neige
    I-I have no idea! But they
    said something weird...
[08:20] Gauche
    Quit wasting my time and spit it out!
[08:23] Neige
    I think it was, "We must return
    the scale that's tilted
[08:26] Neige
    toward darkness back to the light."
[08:28] Gauche
    Scale?!
[08:34] (Flashback) Asta
    What is this?
[08:37] (Flashback) Nero
    Poison?
[08:40] (Flashback) Kabwe
    Your mixing abilities are quite impressive.
[08:44] Bow
    Thank you.
[08:48] Yami
    Talk about some creepy-ass masks.
[08:53] Asta
    My body... Crap! I'm gonna di...
[09:01] Marx
    That's it.
[09:02] Yami
    Well, they sure fell for a lame-ass trick.
[09:06] Noelle
    Thinking back,
[09:08] Noelle
    their spells weren't that powerful.
[09:12] Noelle
    Maybe they did that so the other
    Black Bulls wouldn't sense their mana.
[09:18] Gordon
    That's probably why Henry
    didn't wake up, too.
[09:30] Owen
    Come on, Yami! Knock that off!
[09:33] Yami
    Not only did these assholes attack
    my hideout while I was gone,
[09:36] Yami
    they took one of my squad members, too.
[09:39] Yami
    I don't know who the hell they are,
    but they sure wanted to test my patience.
[09:46] Marx
    Wh-What's that sound?
[09:54] Guy A
    Chairman Damnatio, what was that sound?
[10:08] Damnatio
    Does no one in the Black Bulls
     know how to use a door?
[10:13] Gauche
    Where's Marie?
[10:14] Damnatio
    Marie? Did something happen to your sister?
[10:18] Gauche
    Don't give me that!
[10:19] Gauche
    I know you took her again!
[10:23] Damnatio
    You must be joking.
[10:25] Gauche
    You're really gonna act like you don't know?
[10:28] Damnatio
    I'm not acting, but...
[10:32] Damnatio
    Considering everything you
    just did, you must be judged.
[10:38] Damnatio
    You two should move back.
[10:41] Guy a and b
    Yes, sir.
[10:48] Gauche
    This is what he did last time.
[10:50] Damnatio
    Scale Magic: Scale Regulate.
[10:56] Damnatio
    You were imprisoned once.
[10:58] Damnatio
    Looks like I'll have to send
    you back to that life.
[11:00] Gauche
    Just try it, you bastard!
[11:03] Gauche
    Mirror Magic: Reflect Ray!
[11:08] Guy A
    Chairman Damnatio!
[11:12] Gauches
    Mirror Magic: Real Double!
[11:15] Damnatio
    He created a clone of himself with a mirror?
[11:18] Gauches
    Too bad for you! I saw your
    stupid magic at the trial.
[11:22] Gauches
    Don't think we'll fall for that again.
[11:26] Damnatio
    It appears you've underestimated me.
[11:31] Damnatio
    On your knees!
[11:36] Gauche
    Wh-What the hell?!
[11:40] Damnatio
    Seize them.
[11:42] Guy a and b
    Y-Yes, sir!
[11:53] Yami
    Looks like you've been taking
    good care of my squad once again.
[12:11] Yami
    Look, I know how much you hate him,
    but isn't this kinda out of the blue?
[12:14] Yami
    Also, who gave you permission
    to use my wheels?
[12:18] Yami
    Wheels...
[12:18] Yami
    Do you know how much mana I had to
    waste to come here because of that?
[12:24] Noelle
    Didn't he just say it was easy as pie earlier?
[12:27] Marx
    Why did you do this?
[12:29] Gauche
    Because mole-chin over there took Marie again!
[12:34] Damnatio
    Enough.
[12:35] Gauche
    Then who the hell did it?!
[12:37] Gauche
    I know those masked bastards said,
[12:41] Gauche
    "We must return the scale that's tilted
    toward darkness back to the light."
[12:46] Gauche
    That's exactly the kind of bullshit you'd say!
[12:49] Yami
    Did you just say "masked bastards"?
[12:51] Gauche
    And what if I did?!
[12:53] Yami
    You did, didn't you?
[12:55] Gauche
    I didn't see... I didn't see them myself, but...
[13:01] Gauche
    What?! It wasn't just Marie?!
[13:04] Yami
    We managed to get the kid back, but Nero was...
[13:08] Gauche
    So it was you!
[13:10] Damnatio
    I cannot fathom how you
    came to that conclusion.
[13:14] Gauche
    First Marie, then Asta and Nero...
[13:18] Gauche
    They're the three that you put on trial!
[13:21] Gauche
    You were just trying to take
    them out by force this time!
[13:25] Gauche
    Hell, I don't even care what
    you do to Asta and Nero!
[13:28] Finral
    Uh, hello?!
[13:29] Gauche
    Give Marie back!
[13:32] Damnatio
    Marx, show them my memories.
[13:36] Marx
    Very well.
[13:43] Damnatio
    Once my innocence is proven, you will
    pay dearly for your insolence toward me.
[14:00] Marx
    There's no memory that suggests
    he knew about the kidnapping.
[14:04] Damnatio
    It appears my innocence has been proven.
[14:08] Damnatio
    Not only did you do all of this,
    but you accused me of kidnapping.
[14:13] Damnatio
    You will be taking responsibility for that.
[14:17] Gauche
    Fine. Do whatever you want with me.
[14:20] Gauche
    But it's gonna have to wait until I save Marie.
[14:23] Damnatio
    I don't believe that was part of our deal.
[14:31] Yami
    Hold it.
[14:35] Yami
    That guy you were arguing
    with doesn't seem to be here.
[14:40] Yami
    Is he so careless that he wouldn't
    even show up after all this ruckus?
[14:47] Marx
    Lord Julius.
[14:49] Marx
    What's the matter?
[14:51] Julius
    Sorry to butt in when things are so crazy,
[14:53] Julius
    but there's something I'd like
    Yami and the others to see.
[14:55] Yami
    Now's not the time...
[14:57] Julius
    He should be there at any moment.
[15:01] Nozel
    Begging your pardon.
[15:06] Noelle
    Nozel!
[15:11] Julius
    The signal
[15:12] Julius
    is from the bracelet-type
    communication magic item
[15:15] Julius
    that we used to track Asta's
    whereabouts at all times.
[15:18] Nozel
    There currently seems to be a signal from
    the town of Tiulyu in the Common Realm.
[15:23] Noelle
    Which means...
[15:24] Finral
    Someone took it off of him?
[15:27] Yami
    The only ones who know about the bracelet
[15:29] Yami
    are the few who were present back then.
[15:32] Yami
    And the only one I can think of who
    could actually get it off is Nero.
[15:37] Nozel
    She's probably trying to use the
    bracelet to let us know where she is.
[15:42] Gauche
    Then there's a good chance
    Marie's in that town, too. Fin—
[15:45] Yami
    Finral, let's go!
[15:48] Finral
    I'm sorry, but I've never been to Tiulyu.
[15:52] Yami
    Tch. Then I guess we're gonna
    have to use our brooms.
[15:56] Gauche
    Captain!
[15:57] Gordon
    I'll be going, too.
[15:59] Gordon
    My best friend's little sister
    is basically my little sister.
[16:03] Gauche
    What?! Who are you calling
    your little sister?!
[16:06] Marx
    Please wait! This may be a trap.
[16:09] Gauche
    Shut up, you stupid mushroom!
[16:10] Marx
    Mush—?!
[16:11] Gauche
    I don't care if it's a damn trap.
    It's the only clue we have!
[16:17] Yami
    Gauche's right. We're going.
[16:20] Damnatio
    Wait.
[16:23] Damnatio
    I'm not done talking to that criminal over there.
[16:27] Gauche
    What?!
[16:28] Yami
    Read the room, you asshole!
[16:30] Yami
    While we're wasting time here,
     my squad members are—
[16:32] Julius
    Yami...
[16:33] Julius
    I ordered the Black Bulls to
    keep an eye on Nero, did I not?
[16:38] Yami
    And?
[16:39] Julius
    The Devil Banishers, was it?
[16:43] Julius
    I'll need you to get her back from that
    group and continue watching over her.
[16:48] Julius
    So I'd like you to postpone
    your judgment until then.
[16:51] Julius
    What do you say, Damnatio?
[16:54] Damnatio
    Understood.
[16:56] Julius
    Well, I'm counting on you, Yami.
[16:58] Yami
    Right.
[16:59] Julius
    Oh, one more thing.
[17:01] Yami
    You're still not done?
[17:03] Julius
    I know you probably don't feel great
    since one of your own has been kidnapped.
[17:08] Julius
    But this is different from the trial.
[17:12] Julius
    Depending on what you do, you may be
    putting your squad members in danger.
[17:24] Yami
    I know that.
[17:27] Yami
    Well, let's go, dumbasses.
[17:30] All
    Right.
[17:32] Nozel
    I'll go, too.
[17:33] Yami
    Wha?
[17:35] Noelle
    Nozel?
[17:44] Noelle
    Nozel, why are you helping us this much?
[17:48] Nozel
    I'd rather not lose any of the forces needed
[17:50] Nozel
    to eliminate the devil over
    something like this. That is all.
[17:55] Yami
    You're just worried about your
    little sister, aren't ya?
[17:59] Yami
    Stop trying to act all cool, Mr. Hubris.
[18:02] Nozel
    Say another word and you'll
    regret it, foreigner.
[18:07] Yami
    Didn't you just say something about
    not wanting to lose any of our forces?
[18:14] Gauche
    That must be it.
SIGN    Tiulyu Town
[18:23] Noelle
    This town...
[18:25] Nozel
    The Eye of the Midnight Sun must
    have come through here, too.
[18:34] Gauche
    Wait for me, Marie!
[18:40] Nozel
    This is...
[18:41] Yami
    What's up?
[18:46] Siona
    Oh, is this another magic item that
    blocks mana tracking, like this one?
[18:52] Onoby
    I doubt we'll have to worry about anyone
    tracking us out here, but just in case.
[19:01] Nozel
    It appears they're doing what
    they can to block the signal.
[19:05] Noelle
    Did they find the bracelet?
[19:07] Nozel
    They might have. Either way,
     we should be cautious.
[19:16] Finral
    I don't think we had to
    land this far away, though.
[19:19] Noelle
    Are you stupid?
[19:21] Finral
    What?!
[19:21] Noelle
    It's not just Marie and Nero over there.
    Their kidnappers are with them, too.
[19:27] Noelle
    What do you think will happen
    if we just suddenly show up?
[19:31] Yami
    Gauche...
[19:32] Gauche
    Yes?
[19:34] Yami
    You got a picture of your sister?
[19:37] Gauche
    What do you plan to do with it?!
[19:39] Yami
    Don't get any weird ideas!
    We need it so we can ask around!
[19:43] Gauche
    True...
[19:49] Gauche
    You better give them back when you're done!
[19:50] Finral
    Right...
[19:52] Yami
    You never know what's gonna happen.
[19:54] Yami
    Always watch your back.
    Don't go into the town alone.
[19:59] Gordon
    Looks like the G-G Duo's back!
[20:02] Gauche
    I don't remember teaming up with you.
[20:03] Gordon
    There's no need to be embarrassed.
[20:06] Nozel
    Let's go, Noelle.
[20:08] Noelle
    Right!
[20:10] Finral
    So that leaves me with...
[20:12] Yami
    You got a problem with me?
[20:14] Finral
    A-Absolutely not.
[20:28] Noelle
    It seems mostly untouched.
[20:31] Nozel
    There are only so many forces we can
    send to help with their restoration.
[20:37] Gordon
    Looks like the damage here
    was pretty heavy, and yet...
[20:59] Finral
    Yami...
[21:01] Yami
    Yeah... I wonder how many
    more graves popped up
[21:05] Yami
    after the Eye of the Midnight Sun attacked.

    Someone is trying to disturb
