[02:15] Nar     Nine squads of Magic Knights     who specialize in combat, [02:19] Nar     all in direct service to the Wizard King. [02:22] Nar     They are an army of heroes who dedicate     their lives to protecting their kingdom. [02:25] Nar     It is said that a Magic Knights Squad Captain     possesses the strength of a hundred mages. [02:33] Nar     The Wizard King and the Magic Knights Squads     are the idols of the Clover Kingdom. [02:40] Nar     These squad captains     faced each other in battle! [02:43] Nar     It was a mock tournament held     by Julius, the Wizard King, [02:46] Nar     meant to strengthen the fighting     spirit of the Magic Knights Squads.

[04:40] Noelle     Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar! [04:55] Nar     In September, the Magic Knights trained daily [04:58] Nar     to prepare for the upcoming battle     with the Spade Kingdom and the devil. [05:05] Nar     After seeing the captains fight,     Asta and Noelle felt even more motivated, [05:09] Nar     and continued their own training as     they awaited the day they would train [05:13] Nar     with the Heart Kingdom's Spirit Guardians. [05:18] Finral     Asta! Noelle! [05:24] Yami     Hey, let's go. [05:26] Asta     Yes, sir! [05:28] Noelle     It's already time? [05:29] Gordon     I get to go out with my friends. [05:32] Gordon     My heart leaps with joy.     I can't help but smile. [05:37] Finral     Sure thing! SIGN    Clover Kingdom SIGN    Castle Town Kikka [06:08] Finral     Looks like the town has mostly recovered     from the Eye of the Midnight Sun's attack. [06:13] Asta     Captain Yami, thank you for     bringing us along with you! [06:19] Yami     I just brought you along because you     wouldn't shut up about wanting to come. [06:23] Asta     I wanted to go back to my roots! [06:27] Asta     It's already been a year. [06:30] Asta     It feels so long, yet somehow, [06:33] Asta     it feels like it passed in the blink of an eye. [06:35] Nar     On this day, the annual Magic Knights     Entrance Exam was being held in the coliseum. [06:45] Guy     Good luck on the Entrance Exam! [06:47] Guy     You're the Clover Kingdom's stars of hope! [06:50] Guy     The kingdom's future is in your hands! [07:02] Nar     Partially because of all the chaos caused by [07:05] Nar     the Eye of the Midnight Sun's attack, [07:06] Nar     there were fewer applicants than in years prior. [07:17] Yami     Listen up! Whatever you do, don't interfere. [07:21] Asta     Right! [07:22] Noelle     That's obvious. [07:27] Asta     Look, Noelle! That was us a year ago! [07:31] Noelle     Someone out of that crowd     might end up being our junior. [07:37] Girl     Miss Noelle! [07:40] Noelle     I wonder if they'll call     me something like that. [07:42] Noelle     That wouldn't be so bad. [07:45] Noelle     Asta! Above you! [07:47] Asta     Huh? [07:49] Boy A     Ack! What the heck's with these birds?! [07:51] Boy B     Wait, are these the     anti-birds I've heard about? [07:54] Girl A     What? The ones that peck at you     if you don't have much mana? [07:57] Boy A     Hey! Get away from me! [08:04] Asta     Get away from me! [08:06] Asta     Get off me! [08:09] Girl A     What the heck was that? [08:10] Boy B     How little mana do you have if     a swarm that big pecks at you? [08:13] Boy A     I guess someone always has it worse. [08:16] Noelle     What the heck is Stupidsta doing? [08:19] Nozel     Noelle. [08:24] Noelle     Nozel. [08:25] Nozel     You came. [08:27] Noelle     Yes. Stupids— [08:29] Noelle     Asta invited me. [08:31] Noelle     He thought we may be able to go     back to our roots as Magic Knights [08:35] Noelle     in order to prepare for our upcoming battle. [08:40] Nozel     So it's already been a year. [08:48] (Flashback) Noelle     Okay! [08:50] (Flashback) Nozel     What are you doing? [08:52] (Flashback) Noelle     Oh, I'm... um... [08:54] (Flashback) Nozel     I told you. There's no need for royalty     to take the same exam as the peasants. [09:00] (Flashback) Noelle     But... [09:02] (Flashback) Nozel     Your destination has already been decided. [09:05] (Flashback) Nozel     Do not take unnecessary action. [09:07] (Flashback) Noelle     Yes, Brother Nozel. [09:10] (Flashback) Nozel     Your existence itself is unnecessary. [09:19] Noelle     I understand now, though. [09:21] Noelle     That was all my brother's kindness.     He just didn't want me to go to the battlefield. [09:28] Nozel     What is it? [09:29] Noelle     N-Nothing. I was just... [09:31] Noelle     At first, I couldn't help but wonder     why I got put in the Black Bulls. [09:39] Noelle     But now, I can truly say that I'm grateful [09:43] Noelle     that you put me with the Black Bulls. [09:47] Noelle     I now have precious friends     and a precious family. [09:51] Noelle     I was able to share experiences     I wouldn't trade for the world. [09:55] Nozel     You've grown, Noelle. [09:58] Noelle     Thank you very much! [10:03] Nozel     And you have the potential to grow even more. [10:07] Nozel     You will probably become even stronger. [10:10] Nozel     Yes... Just like Mother. [10:13] Asta     I said get away from me! [10:16] Asta     Ugh! [11:01] Girl     The Magic Knights Squad Captains... [11:03] Girl 2     Th-They have such presence. [11:18] Vangeance     I am the Captain of the Golden Dawn,      William Vangeance. [11:23] Vengeance     I will be conducting the Magic     Knights Entrance Exam. [11:27] Vengeance     First, I would like to commend you all for     participating in this exam to protect [11:32] Vengeance     this kingdom and its people after the     attack by the Eye of the Midnight Sun. [11:39] Boy A     The hero, Lord Vangeance... [11:42] Girl     ...is praising us? [11:46] Vangeance     And I want you to know this. [11:49] William     Even if you do not pass, that is not the end. [11:52] William     Anyone can retry as many times as they'd like. [12:00] William     Now, then... [12:02] William     Magic Tree Descends! [12:29] William     Let us now begin the     Magic Knights Entrance Exam! [12:45] Asta     Wow, this takes me back! [12:48] Noelle     Remember how you couldn't fly     at all back then, Stupidsta? [12:53] Asta     You were watching me? [12:54] Noelle     Well, you stuck out like a sore thumb.      Of course I noticed you. [12:59] Noelle     Not only could you not fly,     but you had no mana at all, [13:03] Noelle     so I thought you were going to fail for sure. [13:08] Noelle     But then... [13:13] (Flashback) Yami     You're funny, kid. [13:16] (Flashback) Yami     Join my squad. [13:19] (Flashback) Asta     Huh? [13:22] (Flashback) Yami     I'm telling you that I'll let     you join the Black Bulls. [13:26] Noelle     Captain Yami acknowledged you. And then... [13:32] Noelle     Even if you got hurt and battered, [13:36] Noelle     you never gave up. [13:39] Noelle     No matter how many times you fell, [13:42] Noelle     you always, always got back up again. [13:48] (Flashback) Asta     Right here, right now... [13:50] (Flashback) Asta     I'll surpass my limits! [13:55] Noelle     You were able to overcome any obstacle. [13:58] Noelle     You truly are amazing. [14:01] Asta     Wha? [14:02] Noelle     O-Only a little bit, though! [14:05] Asta     Thanks, Noelle!     You're pretty amazing yourself! [14:12] Asta     You have an insane amount of mana, [14:15] Asta     and you keep learning how to use     one new spell after another. [14:24] Asta     That water armor's super cool, too! [14:27] Noelle     That's not water armor.     That's my Valkyrie Armor. [14:30] Asta     Yeah, exactly. That water armor! [14:36] Asta     You're super amazing! [14:38] Noelle     I'm not that impressive. [14:41] Noelle     We went through so many hardships. [14:45] Asta     Yeah. [14:47] Noelle     And I'm sure there are many more hardships     we can't even imagine awaiting us. [14:54] Asta     But we have the captains     and a bunch of our friends! [14:59] Asta     And new strength! [15:02] Asta     We're going to protect the     people no matter what! [15:05] Asta     By combining our strengths! [15:07] Noelle     Let's become stronger. [15:09] Asta     Much, much stronger. [15:17] Bell     Say, Yuno. What's so fun about this? [15:22] Bell     Oh, you're just so cool! [15:32] Noelle     Hey, wait, Stupidsta. Where are you going? [15:36] Asta     Hey, Yuno! [15:39] Bell     Gah, it's him again. [15:41] Asta     You're here too, Yuno? [15:43] Asta     Don't just wander off without     saying anything, you silent stud. [15:48] Yuno     Shrug. [15:49] Asta     Did you just say "shrug" at me?! [15:51] Asta     You seriously just spoke a sound effect?! [15:54] Bell     He's just so cool. [15:56] Asta     Yeah, right! He's not cool at all!     He's just trying to act cool! [16:00] Yuno     What do you mean, trying? [16:02] Bell     Yuno doesn't have to try to     be cool. He is cool, right? [16:07] Asta     Though I guess since you're here,     you felt the same way I did. [16:13] Bell     The same? [16:14] Asta     We both swore that we'd     become the Wizard King! [16:17] Bell     You?! [16:19] Asta     Not just me! [16:26] (Flashback) Yuno     I'll... never cry again. [16:30] (Flashback) Yuno     Maybe I... no... [16:33] (Flashback) Asta     Yuno? [16:34] (Flashback) Yuno     I will... [16:36] (Flashback) Yuno     I'll become the Wizard King, too! [16:39] (Flashback) Yuno     I'll get stronger, and protect     you and everyone else! [16:43] (Flashback) Yuno     I'm gonna make everyone happier!     So we can have nicer things! [16:57] (Flashback) Both     Let's see who can become the Wizard King! [17:04] Yuno     Though I'm going to be the one who wins. [17:07] Asta     Say what?! I'm gonna win! [17:09] Yuno     No, me. [17:11] Asta     Me! [17:18] Yami     So... [17:20] Yami     Were you able to go back     to your roots or whatever? [17:22] Asta     Yes! Thank you so much! [17:26] Yami     I see. [17:27] Gordon     I'm feeling more motivated, too. [17:30] Gordon     I'm going to become even stronger     and make even more friends. [17:35] Finral     I'm going to become stronger, too! [17:37] Finral     So I can make the Black Bulls     the best Magic Knights Squad ever! [17:41] Finral     And so I can defeat this curse     and win Miss Finnes's trust. [17:45] Asta     Let's all do our best! [17:47] Asta     So, Captain, did you recruit anyone new? [17:51] Noelle     Do I have a junior now? [17:53] yami     Well, there was someone interesting, but... [17:56] Both     But?! [17:58] Yami     Another squad swiped them. [18:00] Both     What?! [18:02] Yami     Which means you two are at     the bottom for another year. [18:06] Both     What?! [18:08] Yami     Come on, let's go home. [18:21] Marx     I knew I'd find you here. [18:24] Julius     Hey there, Marx. What a coincidence. [18:27] Marx     You left the castle.     There's nothing coincidental about it. [18:32] Marx     Let's hurry back. Your work     just continues to pile up. [18:36] Julius     I know. [18:38] Julius     But... [18:39] Marx     But? [18:40] Julius     Young people are joining the     Magic Knights Squads to work hard [18:43] Julius     to protect the people and this kingdom. [18:48] Julius     Just seeing them seems to give me courage. [18:53] Marx     Yes, you're right. They give     us hope for the future. [18:58] Julius     Yes. [19:00] Marx     All right, let's head back. [19:05] Julius     Marx, do you like grilled purple snake? [19:09] Marx     What are you talking about? [19:11] Julius     If you do, I thought I'd catch     one and grill it up for you. [19:15] Marx     There's no need for that. [19:17] Julius     Aw... Asta would be more     than happy to eat it. [19:25] William     Yuno. [19:28] william     There's something I want to give you. [19:30] Yuno     What is it? [19:36] Yuno     My pendant... But how? [19:40] William     A man named Revchi brought it. [19:43] Yuno     He did? [19:51] William     Apparently, it was among [19:53] William     the treasures that he and Gueldre     took from the Shadow Palace. [19:58] William     He was probably afraid of what     you'd do to him if you ever found out. [20:06] William     This magic stone belongs to you. [20:10] Yuno     Yes. [20:11] Yuno     To think it'd come back to me because     of him. You can't be serious. [20:17] Bell     Good for you, Yuno. [20:19] William     Today marks exactly a year.     You've helped me out so much. [20:23] William     Thank you. [20:27] William     I expect great things from you.     Well, everyone is waiting. Let's go. [20:44] Yami     All right, let's do this. [20:46] Asta     More training?! Let's do it! [20:48] Yami     The hell are you talking about?      We're having a party. [20:52] Both     A party? [20:54] Finral     We're celebrating the first     anniversary since you two joined. [20:58] Gordon     A lot is happening right now,     but it's the least we can do. [21:03] Yami     Magna and the others     should be back soon, too. [21:07] Asta     Thanks! [21:09] Noelle     I guess I'll let you celebrate, for my sake. [21:12] Yami     All right! Forget about fighting     just for tonight, and eat and drink! [21:17] Both     Right! [21:19] Finral     Let's have fun tonight. [21:21] Gordon     Let's talk friendship until morning. [21:23] Yami     We're back! [21:24] Noelle     We're back, Charmy. [21:34] Asta     I've gotten stronger since then. [21:43] Yuno     But... [21:46] Asta     ...it's not enough. [21:49] Yuno     I'm going to rise even higher     and become the Wizard King. [21:55] Ara     I'm going to rise even higher     and become the Wizard King! [23:39] Yami     It's been a year since the kid and     Noelle joined the Black Bulls. [23:43] Yami     Time sure does fly. [23:45] Some     Next time on Black Clover,     Page 153: "The Chosen Ones." SIGN    Page 153           The Chosen Ones [23:49] Yami     If you want to get even stronger,     what else are you gonna do?
