[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,
[00:19] 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!
[00:43] Grey
    I can't leave things the way they are.
[00:45] Grey
    Finral is becoming more reliable,
    and Gordon's become more upbeat.
[00:51] Grey
    Both Magna and Luck have gotten stronger,
[00:54] Grey
    and Noelle's learning one
    powerful spell after another.
[00:57] Grey
    Asta has always been moving forward.
[01:01] Grey
    I think Gauche has become a bit
    more approachable... maybe.
[01:05] Grey
    Everyone's moving forward, but I'm still
    embarrassed about anyone seeing me.
[01:10] Grey
    I'm still scared.
[01:13] Grey
    I'm better now than I was then,
[01:16] Grey
    but I want to stop feeling
    embarrassed in my true form.
[01:28] Grey
    I have to change!
SIGN    The Maidens' Challenge
[03:09] Noelle
    Wh-What?
[03:12] Noelle
    What is it? Do you need something?
[03:14] Grey
    U-Um! Um!
[03:15] Noelle
    Are you not feeling well?
[03:17] Grey
    Um!
[03:19] Grey
    Please make me your student!
[03:22] Noelle
    Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
[03:24] Grey
    I want to get over my shyness.
[03:27] Noelle
    Why?
[03:28] Grey
    When we fight the Spade Kingdom or the devil,
    I can't help anyone if I'm like this.
[03:34] Noelle
    Why don't you just transform and fight?
[03:37] Grey
    That's not good enough!
[03:39] Grey
    I have to be the real me.
[03:42] Noelle
    Why me, though?
[03:43] Noelle
    Basically everyone on our
    team is pretty confident.
[03:47] Grey
    You're the only one who can help me with this!
[03:50] Grey
    You're always so confident and refined,
     because you're royalty.
[03:54] Grey
    I want to be like you, Noelle!
[03:58] Noelle
    Ah, you have excellent judgment.
[04:01] Noelle
    Well, if you insist, I guess I don't
    mind helping you out as a royal.
[04:06] Grey
    Thank you very much!
[04:08] Noelle
    Just so you know, I don't hold back.
[04:11] Grey
    Okay! Th-Thank you!
[04:15] Noelle
    If being looked at embarrasses you,
    we'll just have to get you over that.
[04:19] Grey
    O-Okay!
[04:21] Noelle
    I'm going to look at you, so just act normal.
[04:26] Noelle
    Show me your face!
[04:27] Grey
    I can't!
[04:29] Noelle
    Okay... There, I closed my eyes. How about now?
[04:34] Grey
    I-I'm okay.
[04:39] Noelle
    Okay, again.
[04:46] Noelle
    This is pretty bad.
[04:47] Noelle
    Okay, how about this?
[04:53] Noelle
    You're fine if I'm not that close, right?
[04:54] Grey
    No... As long as you're looking at me...
[04:57] Noelle
    Looks like this is going to take a while.
[04:59] Gordon
    I'll help, too.
[05:02] Noelle
    Gordon!
[05:03] Gordon
    I'm always very aware of what
    my precious friends are doing.
[05:08] Gordon
    So I've been watching you two
    from here this whole time.
[05:11] Noelle
    This whole time?
[05:13] Grey
    I-I'm so embarrassed!
[05:14] Gordon
    I hope you'll let me help
    with my best friend's growth.
[05:20] Gordon
    It's probably hard having a real
    person look at you right away.
[05:23] Gordon
    You should get used to
    being around my dolls first.
[05:25] Noelle
    So we're taking this in steps.
[05:27] Noelle
    That's not a bad idea.
[05:29] Gordon
    We'll do our best not to
    look at you, so give it a try.
[05:33] Grey
    O-Okay!
[05:35] Gordon
    Hey, Grey!
[05:37] Noelle
    Act normally! You shouldn't
    be embarrassed around a doll!
[05:41] Grey
    G-Good morning...
[05:43] Noelle
    With more energy!
[05:44] Grey
    B-But...
[05:47] Grey
    He's still looking at me!
[05:49] Noelle
    Buck up! You want to be like me, don't you?
[05:53] Grey
    Just like Noelle...
[05:56] Greynoelle
    This doll's no big deal.
[05:58] Noelle
    There's no point if you transform!
[06:00] Grey
    Y-You're right!
[06:02] Noelle
    But don't forget how you felt just now.
[06:05] Noelle
    Yes, you will transform... but only your mind.
[06:08] Grey
    Th-That sounds difficult.
[06:11] Grey
    I-I have nothing to be embarrassed about.
[06:15] Noelle
    Jumping straight to my level will
    be difficult. I'm royalty, after all.
[06:19] Grey
    Then what should I do?!
[06:20] Gordon
    Maybe you can start with Asta.
[06:23] Gordon
    He's really easy to understand.
[06:25] Grey
    Asta... Asta...
[06:28] Grey
    Heya, Miz Charmy! What's for lunch today?!
[06:31] Noelle
    Perfect! Just keep that up!
[06:33] Gordon
    She sounds a lot like him.
[06:35] Grey
    Thanks for always helping me out, Noelle!
[06:37] Grey
    It's great to know you're on my side in battle!
[06:40] Grey
    We're gonna have to fight
    some really strong guys soon,
[06:43] Grey
    but I know we can win if I'm with you!
[06:45] Noelle
    I don't know why you can
    win with me, but fine.
[06:50] Grey
    U-Um, I look forward to working with you!
[06:55] Gordon
    It's difficult getting over your weakness.
[06:58] Noelle
    Sorry, I don't know what other kind
    of advice I can give you right now.
[07:02] Noelle
    Especially since I can't understand
    feeling embarrassed just by
[07:05] Noelle
    having someone look at me.
[07:07] Gordon
    I'm sorry I couldn't help out.
[07:09] Gordon
    I hope you'll be able to find a good teacher.
[07:17] Grey
    Hey.
[07:19] Gauche
    Is that you, Grey?
[07:20] Gauche
    What do you want, and why are you in my form?
[07:23] Greygauche
    I want to ask a favor.
[07:24] Gauche
    What?
[07:25] Greygauche
    Be my mentor.
[07:28] Gauche
    What am I supposed to teach you?
[07:29] Gauche
    Our magic attributes are
    completely different.
[07:32] Greygauche
    If I undo my transformation, I become
    embarrassed whenever someone sees me.
[07:36] Greygauche
    Tell me how I can be more confident.
[07:38] Gauche
    Tch! Why do I have to do that?
[07:41] Gauche
    Ask someone else. I'm busy.
[07:43] Greygauche
    Don't be so stingy. Just tell me.
[07:46] Gauche
    I won't get anything out of helping you.
[07:50] Greygauche
    I guess you're right. Then I guess
    I'll do one thing you ask me to.
[08:00] Greygauche
    What's all this?
[08:01] Gauche
    Turn into Marie and say
    the lines I've written here.
[08:05] Gauche
    We'll start with...
[08:06] Marie
    I love you, Big Brother!
[08:08] Gauche
    That's a must!
[08:09] Gauche
    Also...
[08:10] Marie
    I worked really hard to make this
    for you, Big Brother! Eat up!
[08:13] Gauche
    And this is also absolutely necessary.
[08:15] Marie
    Let's be together forever, Big Brother!
[08:18] Gauche
    There's plenty more, but say
    those like you mean them.
[08:21] Greygauche
    I'm not actually Marie.
    Will that still make you happy?
[08:24] Gauche
    I only get to see the
    real Marie once a month.
[08:27] Gauche
    I'll be able to get by as long
    as you look and sound like her.
[08:30] Greygauche
    O-Oh, I see...
[08:32] Gauche
    Okay, follow me.
[08:35] Gauche
    You just want to be okay
    with being seen, right?
[08:38] Greygauche
    Yeah.
[08:39] Gauche
    First, undo your transformation.
[08:51] Grey
    I-I'm being seen! I'm being
    seen from every possible angle!
[08:55] Gauche
    Try to survive this.
[08:57] Grey
    S-S-S-S-Survive...
[08:58] Grey
    Um... U-Use what I learned earlier...
[08:59] Grey
    J-J-J-J-Just transform my mind to Asta's...
[09:03] Grey
    H-H-Hey... G-G-Gauche...
[09:06] Grey
    I can't!
[09:09] Gauche
    I guess it's no use.
[09:13] Gauche
    Hey. Stand up and open your eyes.
[09:15] Grey
    I-I can't!
[09:17] Gauche
    Calm down. I'm not looking at you anymore.
[09:20] Grey
    Huh?
[09:25] Gauche
    Well, what do we do about this?
[09:41] Gauche
    Wait, is this...
[09:42] Gauche
    Hey, can you hear my voice?
[09:46] Gauche
    Stand up.
[09:48] Gauche
    Raise your right hand.
[09:52] Gauche
    Now raise your left leg.
[09:56] Gauche
    She fell into a trance as she
    watched the butterfly pass by.
[09:59] Gauche
    This should work!
[10:00] Gauche
    Now, how do I get her to not worry
    about people looking at her?
[10:04] Gauche
    A turtle.
[10:06] Gauche
    From now on, you're going to
    be a turtle. A very big turtle.
[10:09] Gauche
    Whether it's windy, rainy, or people are
    staring at you, you just don't care.
[10:13] Gauche
    You are a turtle!
[10:22] Gauche
    I'm...
[10:24] Gauche
    looking at you.
[10:26] Gauche
    All right! It worked!
[10:29] Gauche
    Hey, say something!
[10:32] Gauche
    Oh, right. Turtles don't talk.
[10:35] Gauche
    Well, that's not good.
[10:37] Gauche
    You're now going to turn back into a human.
[10:39] Gauche
    But your mind will remain a turtle.
[10:41] Gauche
    You'll be a human who's never fazed
    by anything, just like a turtle.
[10:45] Grey
    I'm... a human.
[10:48] Gauche
    I'm looking at you.
[10:55] Grey
    I don't have to hide my face.
[10:58] Grey
    I can bear it!
[11:00] Gauche
    Perfect.
[11:06] Gauche
    How are you doing?
[11:07] Grey
    I'm still a little anxious,
    but I feel completely different... now.
[11:13] Gauche
    I'm sure you do. You have
    the mind of a turtle now.
[11:17] Gauche
    Eventually, you won't care about
    people looking at you at all.
[11:21] Grey
    Yes...
[11:22] Gauche
    If you're fine on this crowded street,
[11:23] Gauche
    you should be fine being surrounded
    by your friends at the hideout.
[11:28] Grey
    I owe it all to you, Gauche. Thank you.
[11:31] Gauche
    In that case...
[11:35] Gauche
    I'll need you to keep your promise now.
[11:37] Grey
    Huh?
[11:38] Gauche
    Don't tell me you actually forgot.
[11:41] Gauche
    Turn into Marie and say
    those lines I wrote for you.
[11:44] ---
    Oh... Right.
[11:46] Grey
    I love you, Big Brother!
[11:47] Gauche
    I love you too, Marie!
[11:53] Gauche
    Why did you turn back?
[11:54] Grey
    I-I-I mean, this is a bit much...
[11:58] Gauche
    Transform.
[11:59] Grey
    I-I'm too embarrassed...
[12:01] Gauche
    You turned back to normal!
[12:04] Gauche
    Well, that was a big waste of time.
[12:08] Grey
    I-I'm really sorry!
[12:10] Gauche
    I mean, if you're not embarrassed
    when you're transformed,
[12:13] Gauche
    then why don't you just stay
    in that form like you used to?
[12:17] Grey
    But then it wouldn't be the real me.
[12:21] Gauche
    What are you talking about?
[12:22] Gauche
    It doesn't matter what form
    you take. You're always Grey.
[12:26] Grey
    Gauche...
[12:52] Sol
    You're so amazing, Sis!
[12:54] Sol
    You can activate your spells
    way faster than before!
[12:58] Charlotte
    It's still not enough.
[12:59] Charlotte
    This isn't enough to face the threat of
    the Spade Kingdom, let alone the devil!
[13:08] Charlotte
    Next! All five of you come at me at onc—
[13:16] Charlotte
    I guess I can't even call
    this training anymore.
[13:20] Charlotte
    All right, let's take a break.
[13:26] Galgaria
    It's rough not having any time off,
[13:28] Galgaria
    but we definitely need to train for this
    upcoming battle with the Spade Kingdom.
[13:32] Selena
    We need to do our best right now
    to protect the Clover Kingdom.
[13:36] Wainsley
    Captain! We look forward to you whipping
    us into shape in the afternoon, too!
[13:40] Charlotte
    I intend to do just that.
[13:41] Charlotte
    Just be careful not to injure yourselves.
[13:44] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[13:45] Charlotte
    Everyone is enthusiastic
    about their training.
[13:47] Charlotte
    They may be livelier now that I've eased the
    restrictions on their interactions with men.
[13:51] Rose C
    I can't wait to go out on dates with
    my boyfriend as soon as this whole mess
[13:54] Rose C
    with the Spade Kingdom and the devil is done.
[13:57] Wainsley
    Me, too! We're gonna go
    out on dates every day!
[14:00] Wainsley
    I guess we'll just have
    to get stronger first.
[14:02] Rose E
    Aw, no fair. I broke up
    with my boyfriend recently.
[14:05] Rose C
    What? Did you dump him,
    or did he dump you?
[14:07] Rose E
    He dumped me...
[14:09] Rose C
    I see... Well, you've both been busy.
[14:12] Wainsley
    Yeah, that's rough.
[14:14] Wainsley
    But nothing good comes of dwelling on
    the past, so move on to the next one!
[14:17] Rose C
    Yeah! One of my boyfriend's friends is single,
     so let's all go drinking together soon.
[14:22] Rose E
    I can't get over it that quickly...
[14:22] Charlotte
    W-Well, regardless of their motives,
    their enthusiasm is good.
[14:25] Rose C
    Don't worry!
[14:26] Wainsley
    Yeah, it's no big deal.
[14:27] Charlotte
    I must lead them.
[14:28] Sol
    You guys talking about romance again?
     You're all helpless!
[14:32] Sol
    What's so good about hanging out with men?
[14:35] Galgaria
    Of course, Captain Charlotte,
[14:37] Galgaria
    you'll be going out with Captain Yami
    once this is all over, right?
[14:40] Selena
    What's wrong, Captain?
[14:42] Charlotte
    E-Er, it's nothing.
[14:44] Puli
    By the way, Captain, have there
    been any developments since?
[14:48] Charlotte
    What do you mean by developments?
[14:50] Puli
    Oh, come on! I'm talking about your
    romance with Captain Yami, of course!
[14:56] Rose C
    Yeah! Were you able to go on
    any dates after our mixer?
[14:59] Charlotte
    M-Mixer...
[15:05] Galgaria
    That was so much fun!
[15:08] Wainsley
    I think Captain Yami just
    needed one more push!
[15:10] Charlotte
    Don't be absurd!
[15:12] Puli
    No, no, you were going in the
    right direction, Captain.
[15:16] Selena
    If the Angel of Love, Puli Angel, says so,
     then it must be true, Captain!
[15:20] Galgaria
    Yeah.
[15:22] Charlotte
    Really? Is that true?
[15:23] Rose C
    So, Captain, you are going out on
    dates with Captain Yami, aren't you?
[15:27] Charlotte
    Of course I'm not!
[15:28] All
    What?!
[15:30] Charlotte
    Though, in truth...
[15:33] Charlotte
    After our last captains' meeting,
[15:35] Charlotte
    I wanted to ask him to dinner,
    and prepared a little gift to give him.
[15:38] Charlotte
    But I just couldn't give it to him.
[15:40] Sol
    Well, duh! Sis shines more on the
    battlefield than in any dumb relationship!
[15:45] Charlotte
    We need to prepare for the threat of
    the Spade Kingdom and the devil right now.
[15:49] Puli
    Non, non! This is the perfect time to strike!
[15:53] Puli
    Everyone is on edge because
    of the upcoming battle.
[15:56] Puli
    That's why everyone needs
    a little extra love.
[16:00] Galgaria
    I know I mentioned that
    I want to go out on a date
[16:03] Galgaria
    with my boyfriend once this is all over,
[16:05] Galgaria
    but we go on dates occasionally anyway.
[16:07] Wainsley
    I haven't seen mine,
    but we've been chatting through our
[16:09] Wainsley
    magic communication items every night.
[16:11] Sol
    Seriously...
[16:12] Puli
    And now is a once in a lifetime chance.
[16:15] Charlotte
    What's that supposed to mean?
[16:17] Puli
    When a man and a woman share a
    sense of impending danger together,
[16:20] Puli
    they become closer!
[16:21] Puli
    Now that we're facing the impending
    danger of the Spade Kingdom
[16:23] Puli
    and the devil, it's the perfect chance.
[16:25] Sol
    You can't be serious.
[16:27] Puli
    Anyway, this is the
    opportune chance for love!
[16:30] Puli
    If you use it wisely...
[16:34] Charlotte
    I can't let a man save me.
[16:38] Yami
    What are you talking about?
    You save me all the time.
[16:42] Charlotte
    Huh?
[16:43] Yami
    My love for you is what
    keeps me going all the time.
[16:48] Charlotte
    Yami...
[16:52] Yami
    Charlotte, I want...
[16:54] Yami
    to start a family with you.
[16:57] Charlotte
    Of course!
[16:59] Puli
    And then the two get
    married and lived happ—
[17:01] Charlotte
    Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
[17:02] Charlotte
    That's not happening!
[17:04] All
    But it could!
[17:06] Charlotte
    Even so, losing our next battle wouldn't mean
     facing mere anxiety or a sense of danger.
[17:10] Charlotte
    We would be dead.
[17:11] Charlotte
    To avoid that, we must train!
[17:14] Charlotte
    I'm sure you're all plenty rested now!
[17:17] Wainsley
    Captain Charlotte is amazing.
[17:19] Rose C
    I guess she doesn't let love get in the way.
[17:21] Rose E
    We need to work hard so this
    danger can pass quicker!
[17:26] Charlotte
    Sol, Puli, Selena, Galgaria...
[17:29] Charlotte
    All of you, attack me at once!
[17:31] Sol
    All right! Here we go, Sis!
[17:34] Galgaria
    Stone Creation Magic: Stone Rain!
[17:37] Selena
    Water Creation Magic: Cascade Destroyer!
[17:46] Sol
    Earth Magic: Mud Wall Partition!
[17:56] Puli
    No!
[18:02] Selena
    Galgar—
[18:03] Sol
    Crap! I won't make it in ti—
[18:05] Rose C
    Our captain is so dazzling.
    She fights so elegantly.
[18:08] Wainsley
    I'm sure Captain Yami loves this, too.
[18:12] Sol
    Huh?
[18:17] Sol
    Damn it! I thought I had a chance!
[18:20] Rose E
    Everything must be according to her plans!
[18:23] Rose C
    Our captain is amazing.
[18:25] Wainsley
    Let's do our best not to hold her back.
[18:31] Charlotte
    The four of you can rest a while.
    The other seven of you, attack me at once.
[18:38] Rose C
    What do you think?
[18:40] Sol
    What?! We can't do that!
[18:42] Selena
    No, we totally can.
[18:43] Galgaria
    It'll serve as training for us, too.
[18:45] Rose E
    And we'll be supporting
    Captain Charlotte, too.
[18:48] Wainsley
    It's two birds with one stone!
[18:49] Charlotte
    What in the world are they discussing?
[18:51] Charlotte
    Are they coming up with a strategy
    for attacking me all at once?
[18:55] Galgaria
    Say, Captain. We have a suggestion.
[18:59] Charlotte
    What is it?
[19:00] Rose C
    This is difficult to say,
[19:01] Rose C
    but we don't think we can be worthy
    training partners for you.
[19:06] Charlotte
    I wouldn't say that.
[19:07] Rose E
    Even when the whole group of us attack,
    we still aren't any match for you.
[19:14] Sol
    Stop being so pathetic in front of Sis!
[19:17] Girl
    But it's true.
[19:19] Wainsley
    So we were wondering if we should
    maybe train with another squad.
[19:23] Charlotte
    Train with another squad?
[19:25] Galgaria
    For example, if we were to
    train with the Black Bulls,
[19:28] Galgaria
    I think we could all find
    worthy training partners.
[19:30] Charlotte
    Whut?!
[19:31] Selena
    They seem to have a mix
    of the best and the worst,
[19:35] Selena
    so they should be worthy opponents.
[19:37] Rose E
    Captain, could you officially
    request a joint training session?
[19:40] Charlotte
    I-I see... Well, I don't know
    if they'll accept, but...
[19:45] Charlotte
    I'll find the right moment to ask.
[19:50] Marx
    Captain Charlotte, do you have a moment?
[19:52] Charlotte
    I'm free.
[19:54] Marx
    If you're busy training,
    I can call at another time.
[19:56] Charlotte
    Well, we were just
    discussing the possibility
[19:58] Charlotte
    of a joint training session
    with the Black Bulls.
[20:01] Charlotte
    What did you need?
[20:02] Marx
    I'd like to confirm the date
    for the next captains' meeting.
[20:04] Marx
    I'm assuming your plans haven't changed?
[20:07] Charlotte
    Correct.
[20:08] Marx
    Understood. Please excuse me.
[20:12] Charlotte
    All right. For now, we're going
    to continue doing what we can.
[20:15] Charlotte
    We can worry about the joint
    training session later.
[20:17] All
    Right!
[20:28] Charlotte
    Joint training with the Black Bulls...
[20:31] Charlotte
    I wonder if he'll be suspicious...
    No, this is merely training.
[20:35] Charlotte
    Yes, this is for survival.
    To help us defeat the enemy...
[20:39] Yami
    Why're you just standing there?
[20:41] Charlotte
    Ya—
[20:43] Charlotte
    This is it, Charlotte. Ask Yami if he'd
    agree to the joint training session.
[20:50] Yami
    I guess even the Spiny Prickly Queen
     trips sometimes, huh?
[20:54] Yami
    I got to see something rare today.
[21:04] Yami
    Seriously? Again?
[21:06] Yami
    You're shattering my sensitive,
    fragile heart of glass here.
[21:10] Marx
    Other than the Captain of the
     Blue Rose Knights, everyone is present.
[21:14] Julius
    So Charlotte's late?
[21:16] Julius
    She arrived late to the
    Star Festival with Yami.
[21:18] Julius
    I wonder what happened this time.
[21:21] Marx
    By the way, it seems the Blue Rose Knights are
[21:23] Marx
    trying to plan a joint training
    session with the Black Bulls.
[21:26] Marx
    Perhaps this is related.
[21:29] Julius
    A joint training session, huh?
    Hey, I just had a great idea.
[21:33] Marx
    Huh?
[21:34] Julius
    The kingdom's citizens are still
[21:36] Julius
    emotionally and physically exhausted
    from the Eye of the Midnight Sun's attacks.
[21:39] Marx
    I can't deny that.
[21:42] Julius
    I'm sure they're worried about whether
    the royal family can protect them or not.
[21:46] Julius
    We need to reassure them that the Magic
    Knights have the strength to protect them,
[21:51] Julius
    and raise the morale of the captains
    and Magic Knights, too.
[21:55] Julius
    So that we can face the impending threat
    of the Spade Kingdom and the devil.
[22:00] Marx
    Um... If I may, what exactly
    are you planning to do?
[22:05] Julius
    I'm going to have the
    captains fight each other.
[23:40] Some
    Next time on Black Clover, Page 151:
SIGN    Page 151
    
     Clash! The Battle of the Magic Knights Squad Captains!"
[23:42] Some
    "Clash! The Battle of the
    Magic Knights Squad Captains!"
[23:44] Grey
    D-Do your best, Captain Yami!
[23:47] Gauche
    You, too. Wanna train again?
[23:49] Grey
    No!
[23:50] Gauche
    Okay, fine.
[23:51] Grey
    I-I look forward to your guidance.
[23:52] Gauche
    Which is it?!
