[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...
[00:30] 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!
[00:46] Asta
    We can finally train in the Heart Kingdom!
[00:52] Finral
    Now that I've sworn I'd be worthy of
    being the head of the House of Vaude
[00:56] Finral
    and of Miss Finnes,
[00:57] Finral
    If I don't become stronger now,
    it'll all be a lie.
[01:00] Luck
    So the Spirit Guardians won't break
    even if I go all-out, right?
[01:04] Luck
    I can't wait!
[01:05] Magna
    Hell yeah! I'm definitely gonna get stronger!
[01:08] Luck
    Well, you can get stronger, but I'm
    still gonna get even stronger than you!
[01:12] Magna
    The hell'd you say?!
[01:14] Noelle
    To avenge my mother...
    To destroy the devil Megicula...
[01:18] Noelle
    I'm going to become stronger!
SIGN    The 5 Spirit Guardians
[02:55] Asta
    Guys, you're already here?
[02:57] Mimosa
    Asta!
[02:59] Leopold
    I've been waiting for you, my rival!
[03:02] Charlotte
    Training in another kingdom...
    Yami should've come, too.
[03:06] Mimosa
    Asta, Yuno gave me a message for you.
[03:09] Asta
    Oh? What'd he say?
[03:10] Mimosa
    Just simply, "I'm going to become
    stronger with the Golden Dawn."
[03:15] Noelle
    What's that supposed to mean? He'd obviously
    get stronger if he trained over here.
[03:19] Asta
    Nah, he'd get stronger
    no matter where he was.
[03:22] Asta
    I can't lose!
[03:24] Gaja
    It appears that you're all here.
[03:25] Mimosa
    Yes. Thank you for having us, Gaja.
[03:28] Gaja
    Then allow me to lead you in.
[03:32] Loropechika
    There are many of you I am
    meeting for the first time.
[03:36] Loropechika
    Welcome to the Heart Kingdom.
[03:38] Loropechika
    Normally, I would be holding a
    feast to welcome all of you here,
[03:43] ---
    and it pains me deeply that
    this is the best I can do,
[03:48] Loropechika
    but considering the circumstances...
[03:52] Loropechika
    Is something the matter?
[03:53] Mimosa
    I do beg your pardon for bringing
    this up, but the one on your lap...
[03:59] Loropechika
    It's Charmy.
[04:01] Noelle
    Yeah, that much is obvious.
    But what's she doing here?
[04:05] Charmy
    Wherever there are delicious noms,
     I shall also be there!
[04:08] Magna
    What the hell?
[04:09] Charlotte
    Honestly, this is the problem
    with the Black Bulls.
[04:12] Mimosa
    But it does appear that
    Queen Loropechika is okay with it.
[04:17] Leopold
    If the queen is allowing it,
    there shouldn't be a problem.
[04:20] Rill
    It seems the queen here is very generous.
[04:23] Noelle
    Is this actually what you'd call generous?
[04:26] Loropechika
    It's a pleasure to have you all here,
    citizens of the Clover Kingdom.
[04:30] Charlotte
    We'll be in your care for a while.
[04:32] Leopold
    We thank you for your kindness!
[04:34] Loropechika
    Then let us go into a bit more
    detail about your training.
[04:39] Gaja
    First, the Spade Kingdom has
[04:41] Gaja
    already taken control of most of
    the bases in the Diamond Kingdom,
[04:44] Gaja
    and their invasion has halted for the moment.
[04:48] Gaja
    Which means that our kingdom, as well as
[04:51] Gaja
    the Clover Kingdom,
    may be targeted at any time.
[04:54] Gaja
    And because of that,
[04:55] Gaja
    all of you will be undergoing rigorous
    training to ensure rapid growth.
[05:00] Leopold
    Bring it on!
[05:02] Charlotte
    We also wish to become more
    powerful as soon as possible.
[05:07] Gaja
    I will now introduce the Spirit Guardians
     who will be mentoring you.
SIGN    The Spirit Guardian of Earth
    Sarado
[05:14] Gaja
    The Spirit Guardian of Earth, Sarado.
[05:16] Sarado
    Pleased to meet you!
[05:18] Gaja
    The Spirit Guardian of Plants, Potrof.
SIGN    The Spirit Guardian of Plants
    Potrof
[05:20] Potrof
    Let us learn together!
SIGN    The Spirit Guardian of Fire
    Floga
[05:22] Gaja
    The Spirit Guardian of Fire, Floga.
[05:24] Floga
    I have high hopes for you!
SIGN    The Spirit Guardian of Wind
    Smurik
[05:26] Gaja
    The Spirit Guardian of Wind, Smurik.
[05:30] Magna
    Hey, they seem pretty intense.
[05:32] Luck
    This seems fun! Who do I get to fight first?!
[05:35] Gaja
    Mimosa and Charlotte, please
    train with Sarado first.
[05:40] Mimosa
    Understood.
[05:42] Charlotte
    Very well.
[05:43] Sarado
    Leave it to me!
[05:45] Gaja
    Finral, please learn from Smurik.
[05:48] Finral
    Yes, sir!
[05:49] Gaja
    Rill, Potrof shall be your mentor.
[05:52] Rill
    Yeah, sure thing!
[05:54] Potrof
    I'll be waiting for you in the forest!
[05:56] Gaja
    Leopold and Magna will be under Floga's care.
[06:00] Leopold
    I hope you'll train me to the fullest!
[06:04] Floga
    You both seem really determined!
[06:07] Floga
    I can't wait to meet you in person!
[06:09] Gaja
    Luck, I will be training you myself.
[06:11] Luck
    As long as we get to put our lives
    on the line, I don't care who it is.
[06:15] Asta
    What about me? Who's gonna be training me?
[06:19] Gaja
    You do not have any mana whatsoever.
[06:21] Gaja
    We may be Spirit Guardians, but we
    cannot make mana grow from nothing.
[06:25] Asta
    Huh?! Then why the heck did I come here?!
[06:29] Gaja
    But you are one of the mages
[06:31] Gaja
    at the arcane stage, who could
     possibly defeat the devil.
[06:34] Gaja
    I would like you to spar with me
    so I can gauge your strength.
[06:39] Gaja
    We will figure out the details after that.
[06:41] Asta
    Spar with you? Okay, got it!
[06:43] Gaja
    As for the other mage at
    the arcane stage, Nero...
[06:46] Loropechika
    I will be training her myself.
[06:49] Charlotte
    The queen will be training Nero personally?
[06:52] Loropechika
    I look forward to working with you, Nero.
[06:55] Loropechika
    And as for Noelle,
    Undine and I will be training you.
[06:58] Undine
    Let's do our best.
[07:00] Noelle
    Yes, all right.
[07:02] Gaja
    This covers the assignments for the training.
[07:05] Magna
    Hang on a second!
[07:06] Asta
    What is it, Magna?
[07:09] Magna
    Is there any way I can continue going
    at it with Luck and train under you?
[07:17] Gaja
    Very well.
[07:18] Magna
    Hell yeah!
[07:19] Luck
    Aw, sure. But do you think you'll
    be able to keep up with me?
[07:23] Magna
    Of course I can!
[07:24] Gaja
    The rest of you, as well, are not bound
    permanently to the assignments I have chosen.
[07:30] Gaja
    Once your mana grows a bit, please move
    on to a different Spirit Guardian.
[07:35] Gaja
    That will help you learn as much as possible.
[07:38] Loropechika
    Now then, everyone, I look forward to
    working with all of you for a while.
[07:43] All
    Right!
[07:53] Asta
    Magna uses flame magic,
    and Luck uses lightning magic.
[07:58] Asta
    If natural magic attributes work better
    with the Heart Kingdom's techniques,
[08:03] Asta
    then these two are perfect, aren't they?
[08:06] Gaja
    Essentially, yes.
[08:09] Gaja
    First, I will show you how to make
    mana words with natural mana.
[08:16] Magna
    The hell is that?!
[08:18] Gaja
    Without this, you cannot
    create this technique.
[08:21] Gaja
    By creating a technique using mana words,
[08:24] Gaja
    you can add simple orders to spells.
[08:27] Gaja
    For example...
[08:30] Gaja
    Please dodge.
[08:32] Asta
    Like this?
[08:38] Gaja
    Just like that, it means
    we are able to give it
[08:41] Gaja
    orders like "chase him" or "become bigger."
[08:44] Asta
    That's awesome!
[08:46] Luck
    Huh...
[08:47] Magna
    All right! Let's do this!
[08:49] Sarado
    Plants grow from the earth.
[08:52] Sarado
    In order to strengthen plant magic,
     you start with the earth.
[08:55] Mimosa
    I somewhat understand what you're saying...
[08:59] Charlotte
    So you're telling us to understand the earth.
[09:01] Sarado
    It's probably quicker to show
    you than try to explain it.
[09:20] Charlotte
    So this is the Heart Kingdom's technique.
[09:24] Sarado
    Though our magic attributes are different,
[09:26] Sarado
    we're in the same boat when it
    comes to understanding nature.
[09:29] Sarado
    If you can master this, your magic
    will instantly power up!
[09:34] Charlotte
    That's rather surprising. One of my
    subordinates uses similar magic,
[09:39] Charlotte
    but yours is much faster and more powerful.
[09:42] Sarado
    From the looks of it, you all
    just rely on your own mana,
[09:46] Sarado
    and can't use natural mana at all.
[09:49] Mimosa
    So you're telling us to become able to do that.
[09:52] Charlotte
    And how do we do that?
[09:53] Sarado
    You just gather it, like "swoosh," from
    a huge area, and bam, you're all set.
[10:00] Mimosa
    Um, could you be more specific, please?
[10:04] Sarado
    You just sense mana, like, "ding, ding, ding."
[10:06] Sarado
    Once you feel it, you've just
    gotta go whoosh and swoosh.
[10:09] Sarado
    Then we can talk about technique.
[10:12] Both
    That's far too vague...
[10:20] Finral
    He seems a bit different.
[10:24] Smurik
    The wind that comes down
    from the mountains,
[10:26] Smurik
    the wind that rises from the ocean...
[10:28] Smurik
    All the wind passes through this valley.
[10:31] Finral
    I see. So that's why the
    wind is so strong here.
[10:34] Smurik
    I was looking forward to the arrival
    of the boy chosen by the Wind Spirit.
[10:40] Finral
    Oh, you mean Asta's rival.
[10:43] Smurik
    But you came to me instead. I'm sure
    there must be a deep meaning behind that.
[10:48] Finral
    I mean, I think Gaja decided that, but...
[11:00] Smurik
    Now, what will you do?
[11:10] Finral
    Is this training?
[11:12] Finral
    Has our training already begun?
[11:14] Smurik
    Whether this is training or not, the wind
    that blows between us does not change.
[11:21] Smurik
    Isn't that right?
[11:22] Finral
    I can't seem to figure this
    guy out. Is he really okay?
[11:27] Smurik
    Spatial magic's main purpose
    is to support your friends.
[11:31] Smurik
    Isn't that what you think?
[11:33] Finral
    Yes... and?
[11:35] Smurik
    Then if someone targets you, do you
    just expect your friends to save you?
[11:40] Smurik
    Does that truly make you a supporter?
[11:43] Smurik
    What you must do is not
    necessarily just one thing.
[11:46] Finral
    Crap!
[11:51] Smurik
    Well, what now?
[11:54] Finral
    Please continue!
[11:56] Smurik
    Very well. Anywhere the wind blows.
[12:02] Floga
    What a beautiful day!
    A perfect day for training.
[12:04] Leopold
    I look forward to working with you, Floga!
[12:07] Floga
    First, let's see your magic.
[12:11] Floga
    About 80% of your power is enough.
[12:14] Leopold
    Flame Magic: Spiral Flames!
[12:19] Floga
    Nice. If this is what you can do at 80%,
    you've got a fair bit of potential.
[12:23] Leopold
    No, this is nowhere near enough.
[12:27] Leopold
    I must learn much more
    and become even stronger.
[12:30] Leopold
    I don't want this chance to go to waste.
[12:33] Floga
    Agreed.
[12:34] Leopold
    I realize I may come off
    as rude when I say this,
[12:37] Leopold
    but I'd like to see your powers.
[12:39] Floga
    Mine?
[12:40] Leopold
    I want to see with my own eyes
    whether I can learn anything from you.
[12:44] Floga
    Ah, so that's what you mean.
    Well, in that case...
[12:57] Floga
    I think that about does it.
[13:00] Leopold
    I apologize for doubting your strength.
[13:04] Floga
    Don't worry about it.
[13:06] Leopold
    It was so intense... I want to
    make that intensity my own!
[13:11] Floga
    Your potential is far greater than mine.
[13:13] Floga
    Once you learn how to use natural mana,
[13:17] Floga
    it won't be that difficult
    for you to do what I just did.
[13:22] Floga
    You're on the right track.
[13:23] Floga
    But it's not easy getting
    full control of natural mana.
[13:27] Leopold
    I look forward to working with you, Floga!
[13:35] Asta
    You've gotta push harder, Magna!
[13:42] Gaja
    Your magic is far too weak, after all.
[13:45] Magna
    What?!
[13:46] Gaja
    You're around the fifth stage.
[13:48] Gaja
    To use these techniques in battle,
    you need to be third stage or higher.
[13:55] Luck
    What the heck is this? It's super fun!
[13:57] Gaja
    It appears that he has a knack for this.
[14:04] Luck
    Guess I'm just gonna get
    stronger on my own, then.
[14:08] Asta
    Magna...
[14:09] Luck
    Just leave him alone, Asta.
[14:11] Luck
    If he can't get any stronger,
[14:15] Luck
    it just means that's all he's worth.
[14:19] Gaja
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[14:21] Gaja
    As I stated earlier, I'm going
    to measure your strength.
[14:26] Gaja
    Please come at me with everything you have.
[14:29] Asta
    I get to fight someone who's almost
    on a par with the Wizard King!
[14:35] Asta
    Let's have a good match!
[14:43] Potrof
    I think this is a good spot.
[14:44] Rill
    So what are we going to do for training?
[14:47] Potrof
    We're going to bask in the natural mana.
[14:49] Potrof
    Plants and animals...
[14:51] Potrof
    The earth, water, wind, sunlight...
    This place is rich with life,
[14:57] Potrof
    so it's also overflowing with mana.
[14:59] Rill
    Now that you mention it,
    I think I can feel that.
[15:02] Potrof
    And don't ever forget that feeling.
[15:05] Potrof
    You need mana words to create the
    techniques we use in the Heart Kingdom.
[15:08] Potrof
    You'll be able to use mana words as you please
[15:11] Potrof
    once you become one with natural mana.
[15:19] Rill
    Wow!
[15:21] Rill
    I can feel something welling up inside me
[15:23] Rill
    after seeing you use your magic like this.
[15:26] Potrof
    Then why not try using mana
    words as your heart desires?
[15:30] Potrof
    It probably won't go perfectly as
    planned at first, but that's fine.
[15:34] Rill
    All right.
[15:40] Potrof
    Er, that's not quite right.
    You need to use mana words—
[15:43] Rill
    I feel the need to create
    welling up within me!
[15:46] Potrof
    Uh... I see that you're an excellent painter,
     so why not try writing mana words?
[15:52] Potrof
    Mana words... like this.
[15:55] Rill
    Like this?
[15:59] Rill
    My painting!
[16:00] Potrof
    Unbelievable.
[16:01] Potrof
    You were able to write that many mana
    words after seeing them just once...
[16:04] Potrof
    Rill, keep that up.
[16:06] Potrof
    No, don't go painting again!
[16:08] Rill
    Thanks for your help. I think this painting
    is going to be even better for it.
[16:14] Potrof
    Oh, for crying out loud!
[16:20] Rill
    Hey, you're from the Black Bulls...
[16:23] Potrof
    Aren't you Queen Loropechika's pet...
     er, I mean, guest?
[16:28] Potrof
    Weren't you enjoying a
    meal back at the palace?
[16:30] Charmy
    Well, I ate all the food there,
    so I came here in search for new foods, la.
[16:37] Potrof
    You're telling me you've depleted
    all of the palace's reserves?
[16:40] Charmy
    Yup.
[16:41] Potrof
    Well, since you came all the
    way to the Heart Kingdom,
[16:44] Potrof
    why not learn the Heart Kingdom's techniques?
[16:48] Charmy
    Well, right now, I just want to eat
    as many delicious noms as I can.
[16:52] Potrof
    Oh, don't be like that. See, look.
     These are mana words.
[16:56] Potrof
    They're really convenient to be able to use.
[17:07] Potrof
    Ah! Looks like we have
    another genius on our hands!
[17:10] Potrof
    But it's not complete just yet.
[17:13] Potrof
    Listen well. You use mana
    words and natural mana to...
[17:16] Charmy
    I think there's even more delicious
    fruit further in the forest.
[17:20] Rill
    If we go further into the forest,
[17:21] Rill
    I'm sure I'll find some scenery
    that'll spark my inspiration!
[17:25] Potrof
    I'm begging you two, please listen to me.
[17:32] Noelle
    Now, let's have you train us,
     Loropechika and Undine.
[17:36] Loropechika
    Of course. But first,
    I have a request for you two.
[17:41] Loropechika
    Please save me.
[17:44] Loropechika
    As things stand, this curse will kill me.
[17:48] Loropechika
    Before that happens...
[17:49] Noelle
    We know. We'll defeat the
    devil before that happens.
[17:53] Noelle
    That's why we're all here to train.
[17:55] Loropechika
    The four of us here will strike
    down the devil Megicula.
[18:00] Noelle
    Could you explain what you mean?
[18:03] Loropechika
    Of course, we will need
    everyone else's help in order
[18:05] Loropechika
    to stop the invasion from the Spade Kingdom.
[18:10] Loropechika
    But Megicula... The one that
    Megicula possesses, the mage Vanica...
[18:16] Loropechika
    We don't stand a chance
[18:17] Loropechika
    against that one unless Undine and I,
    as well as the two of you, join forces.
[18:25] Noelle
    And you know how this Vanica fights.
    That's why you're saying that.
[18:31] Undine
    My duty is to fight alongside
    Loropechika, as well as protect her.
[18:37] Undine
    But the two of us were no match for Vanica.
[18:41] Undine
    It's my fault that Loropechika has to
    deal with the fear of impending death.
[18:47] Loropechika
    No, it's not your fault, Undine.
[18:50] Loropechika
    Those possessed by the devil cannot
    be defeated by ordinary means.
[18:55] Noelle
    So you're saying if you have
    Nero and me with you,
[18:57] Noelle
    we'll be able to win using
     unconventional means.
[19:01] Loropechika
    We can't be certain just yet.
[19:03] Loropechika
    But I've come to the conclusion that
    if the four of us work together,
[19:07] Loropechika
    we may come closest to that result.
[19:10] Undine
    Please... help us so that
    we can save Loropechika.
[19:16] Loropechika
    Nero's arcane stage...
[19:19] Loropechika
    Noelle's combative spirit
    and fighting style...
[19:23] Loropechika
    If you two grow along with Undine and me,
[19:27] Loropechika
    we should be able to defeat Vanica,
    as well as Megicula, who possesses her.
[19:33] Noelle
    I'll believe you.
[19:35] Noelle
    Nero, you're doing this, too.
[19:38] Undine
    Thank you.
[19:39] Noelle
    You don't need to thank us.
[19:41] Noelle
    I have my own reasons for wanting to
    defeat Megicula with my own hands.
[19:46] Loropechika
    Very well. Then let us begin.
[19:52] Noelle
    All right! Come at me from wherever!
[20:07] Smurik
    You've got the right idea.
[20:09] Smurik
    But if you can't figure out your
    opponent's powers, there's no point.
[20:13] Finral
    This isn't good. At this rate,
    I won't be able to support my friends!
[20:24] Sarado
    Keep zooming at me!
    Keep using those mana words!
[20:28] Sarado
    Then you'll eventually get the hang of it!
[20:44] Asta
    This time, I'll get you!
[20:53] Gaja
    The power to nullify magic is unrivaled.
[20:57] Gaja
    But your vision is so narrow that you can't
    use your powers to their full potential.
[21:00] Asta
    Not yet!
[21:10] Gaja
    Solely relying on how tough
    you are in your fighting style
[21:13] Gaja
    will not keep working forever.
[21:17] Gaja
    To use those powers to their full potential,
[21:19] Gaja
    it's only logical that you use
    them to back up your friends.
[21:23] Asta
    Please let me try again!
[21:25] Gaja
    I guess you won't be satisfied with that.
[21:34] Finral
    Yeah, they're working me
    to the bone from day one.
[21:38] Finral
    Not just me. All of us!
[21:40] Yami
    So, are you seeing any progress?
[21:44] Finral
    It looks like everyone else has already
    learned the Heart Kingdom's techniques,
[21:48] Finral
    so I think it's unlikely that we won't get
    stronger if we keep this up every day.
[21:52] Yami
    Oh? Well, keep up the good work.
[21:55] Finral
    Yes, sir!
[21:57] Yami
    Looks like they're all trying
    to surpass their limits.
[22:01] Yami
    So I guess I need to work a bit harder, too.
[23:39] Yami
    Everyone's gone out training, so the
    Black Bulls' hideout is super quiet.
[23:45] Yami
    Next time on Black Clover,
    Page 156: "Awakening Powers."
SIGN    Page 156
    
    Awakening Powers
[23:49] Yami
    Guess I should push harder, too.
[23:51] ---
    And no, I don't mean in the bathroom.
