**[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*,

**[23:49] Yami**
Guess I should push harder, too.
**[23:51] ---**
And no, I don't mean in the bathroom.
