[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.
[00:44] Nar
    The group led by Dazu Tayak and Bow Nocde
[00:47] Nar
    were not actually those who wished for
    the devil's demise, the Devil Banishers,
[00:52] Nar
    but those who worshiped
    the devil, the Devil Believers.
[00:56] Nar
    After revealing themselves,
    the Devil Believers
[00:59] Nar
    murdered Kabwe and the others from the
    Magic Parliament that they were manipulating,
[01:02] Nar
    then disappeared, taking Asta's
    grimoire and Nero with them.
[01:06] Yami
    So basically, they want to
    hand Nero off as a gift.
[01:10] Yami
    Oh, yeah. They have the kid's grimoire, too.
[01:13] Julius
    And then they want to join the Spade Kingdom...
    or rather, join with the devil.
[01:19] Julius
    Yami, I'm counting on you.
[01:22] Nar
    Asta and the other Black Bulls began
    their pursuit of the Devil Believers.
[01:26] Magna
    It's gonna be difficult to catch
    up to them if they managed to
[01:29] Magna
    get through Breed Mountain in this weather.
[01:33] Noelle
    Hey, what's that?
[01:36] Nar
    And they were finally able
    to catch up to them, but...
[01:40] Asta
    H-How are there so many of them?!
SIGN    Prepared to Die
[03:38] (Flashback) Bow
    Isn't it beautiful?
[03:41] (Flashback) Dazu
    Huh?
[03:42] (Flashback) Bow
    The sunset.
[03:43] (Flashback) Dazu
    Yes... I didn't even notice it.
[03:48] (Flashback) Bow
    It sets instantly, but still manages to
    shine so brilliantly for that moment.
[03:55] (Flashback) Bow
    Doesn't it make your heart feel at peace?
[03:57] (Flashback) Dazu
    Yes.
[03:58] (Flashback) Dazu
    Um, you're Bow, aren't you?
[04:01] (Flashback) Dazu
    Bow Nocde, who lives in the forest
    on the outskirts of town.
[04:04] (Flashback) Bow
    You've heard of me?
[04:06] (Flashback) Dazu
    Um, my husband's mother mentioned you before.
[04:09] (Flashback) Bow
    Did she tell you to steer clear
    of the weird lady there
[04:12] (Flashback) Bow
    who uses strange medicines?
[04:14] (Flashback) Dazu
    No, not at all.
[04:17] (Flashback) Dazu
    Are you going to use that
    in one of your medicines?
[04:19] (Flashback) Bow
    Yes.
[04:20] (Flashback) Dazu
    Wow, that's amazing.
[04:22] (Flashback) Bow
    Amazing?
[04:24] (Flashback) Dazu
    Well, most people in this kingdom
    can do everything with magic.
[04:28] (Flashback) Dazu
    Where did you learn how to
    make medicine like that?
[04:33] (Flashback) Bow
    Nowhere, really.
[04:34] (Flashback) Dazu
    Huh?
[04:36] (Flashback) Bow
    I figured out the ingredients, mixed them,
[04:38] (Flashback) Bow
    failed many times,
    and just kept trying again.
[04:41] (Flashback) Dazu
    All on your own?
[04:43] (Flashback) Bow
    This is about all I can do,
    since I can barely use any magic.
[04:50] (Flashback) Bow
    Well, if you'll excuse me.
[04:51] (Flashback) Dazu
    U-Um, I'm Dazu!
[04:54] (Flashback) Dazu
    Dazu Tayak!
[04:56] (Flashback) Dazu
    Um, do you mind if I visit you sometime?
[05:02] (Flashback) Bow
    Sure. I would love to see you, Dazu.
[05:05] (Flashback) Bow
    I'll brew some bitter medicine for you.
[05:35] Dazu
    Your bombs are always impressive.
[05:39] Bow
    Now we can move forward.
[05:41] Bow
    Let us hurry. It will be dark soon.
[05:44] Bow
    We need to get through Breed Mountain
     and past the border as fast as possible.
[05:49] Mask D
    Once we do, we'll be out of the
    Clover Kingdom's jurisdiction.
[05:53] Mask D
    Then even the Magic Knights
    won't be able to capture us.
[05:57] Mask F
    And we'll go to the Spade Kingdom.
[05:59] Nero
    Impossible.
[06:01] Nero
    Even if you get past the border,
[06:03] Nero
    there's a strong magic region that
    lies before the Spade Kingdom.
[06:07] Nar
    The Spade Kingdom is a country
    filled with snow and mysteries.
[06:10] Nar
    Between it and the Clover Kingdom is
    a neutral zone belonging to no nation,
[06:16] Nar
    most of which is a strong magic region.
[06:20] Nar
    Strong magic regions are designated areas
    that possess a powerful force field of mana,
[06:25] Nar
    which causes various magical phenomena that
    seem to prevent anyone from entering.
[06:29] Nar
    Extreme natural conditions, swirling mana,
    and treacherous mountains...
[06:35] Nero
    Getting through a strong magic region
    is perilous even for Magic Knights.
[06:39] Nero
    Meaning all of you who lack mana...
[06:42] Dazu
    Yes.
[06:43] Bow
    You are correct.
[06:46] Nero
    Do you plan to die?
[06:47] Dazu
    Die? Yes, we might die.
[06:51] Dazu
    But if we have any chance of getting there...
[06:57] Dazu
    Let's go.
[06:59] Bow
    Yes.
[07:02] Magna
    Mister Yami, can you hear me?
    It's me, Magna! You there?!
[07:07] Magna
    We found the Devil Believers,
    but there are a whole lot of them!
[07:10] Magna
    We're awaiting your orders!
[07:12] Magna
    Mister Yami! Mister Yami!
[07:14] Noelle
    The mana in this area is pretty messy, too.
[07:17] Noelle
    The strong magic region
    beyond the border might be
[07:20] Noelle
    disrupting communication here, too.
[07:24] Magna
    Asta, Lady Noe, I'm gonna go
    somewhere I can get some reception
[07:27] Magna
    and ask Mister Yami for instructions.
[07:29] Magna
    You guys stand by here.
[07:31] Magna
    I'll be back with reinforcements soon.
     Don't move from here!
[07:36] Magna
    Let's haul ass, Crazy Cyclone!
[07:40] Noelle
    Uh, hey, wait! Jeez...
[07:42] Noelle
    Wait here? It's cold!
    We'll get soaked and end up sick!
[07:46] Noelle
    Though you're probably too stupid
    to ever get sick, Stupidsta.
[08:00] Noelle
    Hang on a second!
[08:01] Noelle
    He just told us to stay put!
[08:05] Asta
    Well, I'm worried about Nero!
[08:06] Noelle
    I want to save Nero as soon as possible, too.
[08:09] Noelle
    But how?
[08:11] Noelle
    Do we just try to scatter the enemy?
[08:12] Asta
    No!
[08:14] Noelle
    Then what?
[08:16] Asta
    I'm gonna go talk to them again.
[08:18] Asta
    We should be able to understand each other.
[08:21] Noelle
    If we could talk this over,
    we wouldn't be in this mess in the first—
[08:26] Asta
    Nero...
[08:29] Noelle
    Ugh, you're hopeless. You know that?
[08:32] Noelle
    Come on.
[08:34] Noelle
    I'll let you hold on.
[08:36] Noelle
    You'd better be grateful.
[08:38] Asta
    Thanks, Noelle!
[08:39] Noelle
    H-Hmph! You owe me one!
[08:58] Man A
    Hey, are you okay?
[09:00] Man B
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[09:01] Man A
    Here, grab on.
[09:03] Man B
    Thanks.
[09:04] Woman A
    I can't stop shaking.
[09:06] Woman B
    It's even colder now that
    the sun's going down.
[09:09] Woman A
    But let's do our best.
[09:12] Woman B
    Thinking back on everything I've
    been through, this is nothing!
[09:17] Dazu
    Thinking back on everything I've
    been through, this is nothing...
[09:21] Bow
    Exactly.
[09:31] Bow
    It's beautiful.
[09:33] Dazu
    It's just like back then.
[09:47] Dazu
    It's a full moon.
[09:48] Bow
    The mana in the strong magic
    region may weaken a little.
[09:52] Dazu
    The chance of that might be low,
    but there's still a chance.
[09:55] Dazu
    And because of chance,
[09:58] Dazu
    I was able to meet you,
    Bow, and live until today.
[10:03] Dazu
    I made it through so many trials
    and hardships because of you.
[10:07] Dazu
    I'm eternally grateful.
[10:09] Bow
    So am I. And we finally made it this far.
[10:14] Bow
    But we still have a long journey ahead.
[10:16] Dazu
    Let's continue working together.
[10:19] Bow
    Just the two of us.
[10:22] Group
    Hey, what's that?
[10:24] Group
    Could it be...
[10:25] ---
    Is it...
[10:29] Dazu
    Asta!
[10:40] Nero
    Asta!
[10:43] Asta
    We finally caught up to you guys!
[10:56] Asta
    Nero, where are you?!
[11:02] Noelle
    These people...
[11:04] Noelle
    Stupidsta, you probably haven't noticed,
[11:06] Noelle
    but I can barely sense any
    mana from these people.
[11:10] Asta
    Huh?
[11:11] Noelle
    Just like the boy from that village.
[11:14] Noelle
    He had small, fleeting mana.
[11:18] Noelle
    There are that many people in this
    kingdom who can hardly use magic?
[11:23] Noelle
    No, that's not it.
[11:25] Noelle
    This is just some of them.
[11:27] Asta
    Found her.
[11:28] Asta
    Nero! We're here to get you!
[11:31] Noelle
    Wait, Stupidsta, be careful!
[11:32] Asta
    I'll be fine! With the wind this strong,
[11:35] Asta
    sleep potions or any other
    potions will just blow away!
[11:38] Noelle
    Yeah, but...
[11:47] Noelle
    Should we really attack these people
[11:48] Noelle
    when we're supposed to be
    protecting them as Magic Knights?
[11:53] Noelle
    But right now, I have to protect Asta!
[12:00] Asta
    What?
[12:03] All
    Master Asta! Master Asta!
    Master Asta! Master Asta!
[12:08] Woman B
    Yes, the one bestowed with the devil's powers!
[12:15] Noelle
    The Devil Believers...
[12:18] Noelle
    Those who worship the devil.
[12:25] All
    Master Asta! Master Asta! Master Asta!
[12:30] Asta
    You're their leader, Dazu Tayak, right?
[12:33] Dazu
    Asta...
[12:34] Asta
    And Bow Nocde.
[12:37] Asta
    Let Nero go. Nero's a very
    important friend of ours.
[12:44] Nero
    Asta...
[12:47] Asta
    You're taking Nero and my grimoire as
    gifts to join the Spade Kingdom, right?
[12:55] Asta
    And if you could,
    you'd probably want to take me.
[12:58] Dazu
    I see you've figured out our plan.
[13:00] Dazu
    Then you should know...
[13:02] Bow
    ...that we can't return Nero to you.
[13:05] Asta
    Once you get beyond these mountains,
    we'll be on neutral ground.
[13:08] Asta
    There's a strong magic region there,
    but tonight's a full moon,
[13:11] Asta
    so the mana will be weakened.
[13:12] Asta
    You're probably trying to get
    through the strong magic region now.
[13:15] Asta
    But with your numbers and
    equipment, that's impossible!
[13:18] Dazu
    We know that.
[13:21] Dazu
    But still, I... we are going to go.
[13:25] Dazu
    I barely have any mana.
[13:28] Dazu
    I can't really use magic.
[13:30] Dazu
    Magic is everything here in the Clover
    Kingdom, so I basically didn't exist.
[13:37] Dazu
    Even my own parents looked down on me.
     I was laughed at in school.
[13:41] Dazu
    My teachers mocked me.
[13:42] Dazu
    I couldn't make friends, and everyone in
    town always gave me judgmental looks.
[13:46] Dazu
    Asta, I'm sure you understand.
[13:54] Asta
    Yeah.
[13:55] Dazu
    That's why I worked much harder
    than the average person.
[13:59] Dazu
    And yet I was mocked and looked down upon
    just because I couldn't use much magic.
[14:04] Asta
    But... your husband still
    accepted you, didn't he?!
[14:09] Dazu
    Accepted me?
[14:11] Asta
    Granny Maggie from Tiulyu said that
[14:13] Asta
    your mother-in-law was really happy
    about her son's wonderful wife.
[14:18] Asta
    Doesn't that prove that your husband
    and mother-in-law both accepted you?
[14:23] Asta
    You must've been happy even
    if you couldn't use magic!
[14:26] Dazu
    I wasn't happy at all!
[14:28] Dazu
    I knew the truth...
[14:30] Dazu
    But maybe they could've...
[14:33] Dazu
    No, they're all the same.
[14:37] Dazu
    Every day with those people
[14:39] Dazu
    was hell for me.
[14:41] Dazu
    They would always smile kindly,
    tell me my cooking was delicious,
[14:45] Dazu
    and praise my hard work.
[14:47] Asta
    Then...
[14:48] Dazu
    I'm sure our neighbors also thought
    of my husband and mother-in-law
[14:54] Dazu
    as kind, charitable people.
[14:57] Dazu
    But they mocked me.
[14:59] Dazu
    They looked down on me.
[15:02] Dazu
    They didn't accept me at all.
[15:04] Dazu
    They were just using me!
[15:07] Dazu
    They enjoyed making fun of me.
[15:09] Dazu
    They were relieved that there was
     someone lower than themselves!
[15:14] Dazu
    They were trash!
[15:16] Dazu
    They deserved to die!
[15:20] Bow
    Dazu...
[15:22] Dazu
    I'm sorry. I just...
[15:24] Bow
    Though our situations are different,
    everyone here led lives similar to ours.
[15:31] Asta
    All of you?
[15:33] Bow
    I can make many medicines and
    potions that work far better
[15:37] Bow
    than the magic of an average recovery mage.
[15:42] Bow
    But they didn't accept me, solely
    because I couldn't use magic much.
[15:48] Bow
    There were a few people who
    relied on me every now and then,
[15:51] Bow
    but once they had what they wanted,
     they were done with me.
[15:53] Mask D
    The same goes for me!
[15:55] Mask E
    While those fools were out playing,
    I spent sleepless nights studying.
[16:00] Mask F
    You have no idea how hard
    I worked to survive!
[16:03] Guy
    Me, too!
[16:04] Some
    Me, too!
[16:06] Some
    Me, too!
[16:07] Some
    Me, too!
[16:08] Some
    Me, too!
[16:08] Some
    M-Me, too!
[16:09] Some
    We all did!
[16:11] Some
    They mocked us just because
    we couldn't use magic well!
[16:14] Some
    They acted like we didn't exist!
[16:17] Some
    I'm done with that!
[16:19] Some
    We're leaving this stupid kingdom!
[16:21] Bow
    Look at these people.
[16:23] Bow
    We met them on our way to the Spade Kingdom.
[16:29] Bow
    They experienced the same hardships we did.
[16:31] Bow
    They lived in the shadows. I'd never
    imagined so many of us existed.
[16:38] Dazu
    To think that so many sympathized
    with us and wanted to help us...
[16:43] Dazu
    Asta.
[16:44] Dazu
    Telling us to go back is telling us
    to go back to a life of mockery!
[16:50] Bow
    We've had enough!
[16:52] Mask F
    You understand, don't you?
[16:55] Asta
    Yeah, I do.
[16:57] Noelle
    Asta...
[16:58] Asta
    And it's because I understand
    that I have to stop you guys!
[17:03] Noelle
    Why do you all want to go to
    the Spade Kingdom so badly?
[17:08] Dazu
    To gain the powers of the devil.
[17:11] Noelle
    But that's...
[17:13] Dazu
    Kabwe from the Magic Parliament told us that
    there was a devil in the Spade Kingdom,
[17:19] Dazu
    and that the devil would give us powers.
[17:25] Dazu
    I... We want power.
[17:28] Bow
    After joining the Spade Kingdom
    and gaining the devil's powers,
[17:32] Bow
    we will come back to this kingdom someday...
[17:35] Both
    ...and have our revenge.
[17:36] Asta
    No... But that's—
[17:39] Dazu
    The three leaves of the clover
     represent faith, hope, and love.
[17:44] Dazu
    Within a fourth leaf dwells good luck.
[17:47] Dazu
    Within a fifth leaf resides a devil.
[17:50] Dazu
    That's how the saying goes, isn't it?
[17:52] Asta
    Yeah.
[17:54] Dazu
    Even though you had no mana
    and couldn't use any magic,
[17:58] Dazu
    you gained the devil's powers
    because of this grimoire.
[18:02] Bow
    You joined the Magic Knights
    and accomplished many things.
[18:05] Bow
    We look up to you so much.
[18:07] Asta
    You look up to me? But I don't...
[18:10] Dazu
    We want to be like you.
[18:13] Bow
    We're going to the Spade Kingdom.
[18:15] Mask
    We'll gain the devil's powers...
[18:17] Mask
    ...and be reborn!
[18:18] Mask
    Then we'll get revenge on this kingdom!
[18:21] Dazu
    That is our desire.
[18:24] Asta
    But I'm different!
[18:26] Dazu
    Different?
[18:27] Asta
    That's right! No matter how
    hard I worked and trained,
[18:30] Asta
    I was mocked for not being able to use magic.
[18:32] Asta
    They looked down on me my whole life.
[18:34] Asta
    But I never despised any of them!
[18:38] Asta
    Yeah, I gained that grimoire
    and the devil's powers,
[18:42] Asta
    but I never once thought about using those
    powers to take revenge on this kingdom!
[18:47] Asta
    I worked for this kingdom!
[18:50] Asta
    No matter how poor you are...
    even if you're an orphan or a peasant...
[18:53] Asta
    I just wanted everyone to be happy!
[18:56] Dazu
    I can't imagine how much
    better off we would've been
[18:59] Dazu
    if we could actually think like that.
[19:01] Bow
    Indeed.
[19:02] Dazu
    We cannot extinguish the blazing flames
    of revenge that burn within our hearts.
[19:06] Dazu
    So we can't return Nero to you!
[19:09] bow
    We will continue on to the Spade Kingdom.
[19:12] Asta
    All right. Then let Nero go!
[19:15] Dazu
    I just told you we can't...
[19:17] Asta
    I'll take her place!
[19:20] Nero
    What are you...
[19:21] Asta
    Your original plan was to
    take me, wasn't it? Right?
[19:25] Asta
    My grimoire and I should be
    more than enough for gifts!
[19:30] Dazu
    We'll have to restrain you.
[19:32] Asta
    Sure!
[19:33] Dazu
    And her, too.
[19:44] Asta
    Now, keep your promise. Let Nero go.
[19:47] Dazu
    All right, we will.
[19:49] Bow
    After we take you to the Spade Kingdom.
[19:52] Nero
    You're too naïve.
[19:54] Asta
    No, I have faith in them.
[19:57] Dazu
    We want to obtain the devil's
    powers no matter what.
[20:01] Dazu
    The more gifts we have, the better.
[20:04] Bow
    Asta and his grimoire... The girl
    who used forbidden magic, Nero...
[20:08] Bow
    And now we have a royal girl.
[20:11] Dazu
    What wonderful gifts.
[20:13] Nero
    If we make it through the
    strong magic region, that is.
[20:16] Dazu
    Correct.
[20:18] Dazu
    Now, let us proceed.
[20:28] Noelle
    That's the border.
[20:34] Dazu
    We're almost to...
[20:36] Bow
    ...the border.
[20:42] Noelle
    The strong magic region...
[20:43] Noelle
    I can feel it from here. There's so
    much mana that's out of control.
[20:47] Nero
    How do you intend to get through that?
[20:49] Dazu
    We can barely use magic.
    We barely have any mana.
[20:54] Bow
    But that also means we do
    have a little bit of mana.
[21:00] dazu
    Even if we don't have much magic,
[21:02] dazu
    if I can pull all of our magic
    together with my catalyst magic,
[21:06] dazu
    we can make it powerful.
[21:08] Dazu
    Just as a droplet of water can
    become a powerful current.
[21:12] Bow
    We'll use her catalyst magic to
    pull all of our mana together
[21:15] Bow
    and use that to protect ourselves
    from the strong magic region's mana.
[21:19] Noelle
    But that's—
[21:20] Dazu
    Indeed. It won't be easy.
[21:23] Nero
    The Spade Kingdom is far away.
[21:25] Nero
    Who knows if your mana will
    hold out until we get there?
[21:29] Nero
    No, it's impossible.
[21:30] Dazu
    But at least one of us might make it there.
[21:33] Dazu
    And that one person might
     attain the devil's powers.
[21:37] Dazu
    Then maybe... No, we must see this through.
[21:41] Bow
    Or our revenge upon the
    Clover Kingdom will never happen.
[21:44] Noelle
    No...
[21:46] Dazu
    Let's go.
[21:48] Bow
    Yes.
[21:51] Dazu
    That's—
[21:54] Magna
    Asta, Lady Noe, Nero!
    Sorry to keep you guys waiting!
[21:59] Asta
    Magna! Captain Yami!
[23:39] Noelle
    We are the Magic Knights.
[23:41] Noelle
    We protect this kingdom and its people.
[23:44] Noelle
    That is our duty!
[23:46] Some
    Next time on Black Clover, Page 148:
SIGN    Page 148
    
    Becoming the Light That Shines Through the Darkness
[23:48] Some
    "Becoming the Light That Shines
    Through the Darkness."
[23:50] Noelle
    The ones in the shadows are the ones
    we should be protecting the most!
