[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,
[00:18] 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!
[00:41] Nar
    In order to learn the Mana Method
    and acquire new powers,
[00:45] Nar
    Asta and the others train their
    hardest in the Heart Kingdom.
[00:54] asta
    This time, I'll get you!
[01:01] Gaja
    The power to nullify magic is unrivaled.
[01:04] Gaja
    But your vision is so narrow that you can't
    use your powers to their full potential.
[01:07] Asta
    Not yet!
[01:10] Nar
    And this man was making his move, too.
[01:15] Yami
    Looks like they're all trying
    to surpass their limits.
[01:19] Yami
    So I guess I need to work a bit harder, too.
SIGN    Awakening Powers
[03:02] Gaja
    Lightning Magic: Tenjiolia.
[03:22] Asta
    I've been sparring with him for days now,
    and I still can't get a hit in!
[03:27] Gaja
    If I wasn't holding back,
    you'd be in far worse shape.
[03:33] Gaja
    The extremely rare power known as anti-magic,
[03:36] Gaja
    physical strength that you've trained
    to your limit, and your friends
[03:40] Gaja
    are what have led you to victory thus far.
[03:43] Gaja
    But the enemy we're about
    to face is far too powerful.
[03:48] Gaja
    If you cannot defeat me on your own,
    you will not be able to defeat the devil.
[03:54] Asta
    Please let me have another try!
[03:57] Gaja
    Is it his unwavering willpower that
    has strengthened him to this point?
[04:03] Gaja
    No, it's not just him.
[04:06] Gaja
    Some of the mages who came
    from the Clover Kingdom
[04:09] Gaja
    have already started creating
    techniques of their own.
[04:19] Leo
    Faster... I need to be faster.
[04:22] Leo
    I need to be stronger!
[04:28] Floga
    Leopold...
[04:29] Leopold
    I know I should be able to do more... More!
[04:42] Floga
    Those were great moves, Leo.
[04:45] Floga
    You're able to use the
    Mana Method faster now, too.
[04:49] Floga
    It's just...
[04:50] Floga
    Hmm, how do I put this?
[04:53] Floga
    Every now and then, you seem to
    waver a bit when you're fighting.
[04:58] Floga
    It feels like something's making you hesitate.
[05:03] Floga
    Is there a reason why?
[05:05] Leo
    I have an older brother and
    an older sister that I look up to.
[05:09] Leo
    Their strength is burned into
    my eyes. I cannot unsee it.
[05:15] Leo
    The stronger I become,
[05:17] Leo
    the more I realize how much higher
    up my brother and sister are.
[05:21] (Flashback) Mereoleona
    Stand up.
[05:22] (Flashback) Mereoleona
    Lions should never look so pitiful.
[05:25] Leo
    The more powerful I get, the more
    out of reach they seem to become.
[05:29] Leo
    No matter how hard I try, I can't help
    but think that they're stronger than me.
[05:41] Mereoleona
    Flame Magic: Calidos Brachium!
[05:46] Yami
    Man, it's hot.
[05:49] Yami
    Heya, Sisgoleon.
[05:51] Mereoleona
    Who are you calling Sisgoleon, you fool?
[05:55] Mereoleona
    Did you come for a dip in the hot springs, too?
[05:57] Mereoleona
    Why not go defeat one of the magical
    beasts around here while you're at it?
[06:00] Yami
    Jeez, were you fighting so you
    could enjoy a nice, long bath?
[06:06] Yami
    You sure are violent, aren't ya?
[06:09] Mereoleona
    Hah. I couldn't even call this a warmup.
[06:13] Yami
    I'm sure you couldn't.
[06:14] Yami
    So in that case...
[06:16] Yami
    How about fighting me?
[06:19] Mereoleona
    Oh? What brought this on?
[06:22] Yami
    Yeah, about that.
[06:25] Yami
    In that last battle with the devil,
[06:27] Yami
    I was able to use the Mana Zone
    or whatever it's called.
[06:32] Yami
    But I still don't really get it,
    and I think I could take it a bit further,
[06:38] Yami
    so I wanted to give it a try.
[06:40] Mereoleona
    Give it a try? With me?
[06:43] Yami
    Well, you're more experienced
    with Mana Zone, aren't you?
[06:45] Yami
    Help a newbie out, will ya?
[06:48] Mereoleona
    Very well. I was just thinking
    I hadn't had enough.
[06:53] Mereoleona
    But are you sure about this?
    Before you even get to try,
[06:57] Mereoleona
    your body might not even hold up!
[07:00] Yami
    Yikes. Not only is she ready,
    she's ready to kill me.
[07:05] Yami
    Yeah, I'm going home. Sorry to bug you.
[07:11] Yami
    I guess that's not gonna work, is it?
[07:14] Mereoleona
    Looks like you're ready
    to be devoured by a lion.
[07:18] Yami
    Then again, if you don't come at me like that,
[07:22] Yami
    I won't be able to surpass my limits, either.
[07:25] Mereoleona
    As you wish, I'll burn you to a crisp!
[07:59] Asta
    Black Meteorite!
[08:03] Gaja
    Is he tracking my mana?
[08:06] Gaja
    In that case...
[08:14] Asta
    Ow...
[08:16] Gaja
    If I can figure out how your technique works,
[08:19] Gaja
    I can figure out many ways to deal with it.
[08:23] Gaja
    Would you like to continue fighting until
    you cannot use your anti-magic anymore?
[08:30] Asta
    What the heck am I supposed to do?
[08:31] Asta
    How do I get my anti-magic to reach him?
[08:36] Gaja
    Mana and anti-magic...
[08:38] Gaja
    They are fundamentally different,
[08:40] Gaja
    but the power to create
    and the power to nullify
[08:42] Gaja
    are similar in that they
    are both a form of power.
[08:46] Gaja
    Which means the way to use them
    shouldn't be that different, either.
[08:50] Gaja
    The basic technique in using the Mana Method
[08:52] Gaja
    is to feel the flow of mana.
[08:54] Gaja
    Which means the thing you
    need to do right now...
[08:59] Asta
    ...is to feel the flow of anti-magic!
[09:06] Yami
    She's faster than my ki can track.
[09:08] Mereoleona
    Is that all you've got?
[09:10] Mereoleona
    You can't win if you just keep running away!
[09:13] Yami
    How the hell is she so fast?!
[09:18] Yami
    But if that's also
[09:19] Yami
    thanks to Mana Zone,
    I should be able to do it, too!
[09:23] Mereoleona
    Too slow!
[09:27] Mereoleona
    Here, get an up-close feel for what
    you can really do with Mana Zone!
[09:37] Yami
    Well... what to do?
[09:46] Yami
    Hot! Hot!
[09:48] Yami
    I guess I should've expected
    that from the Mana Zone expert.
[09:50] Yami
    She's definitely something else.
[09:53] Yami
    I guess you're as crazy as ever,
     you violent lioness.
[09:58] Mereoleona
    There's no fun in catching weak prey.
[10:00] Mereoleona
    Try struggling more!
[10:07] Yami
    If we're just fighting with speed,
    I'm definitely at a disadvantage.
[10:14] Yami
    Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Black Blade!
[10:21] Asta
    Black Divider!
[10:26] Asta
    He disappeared?!
[10:28] Gaja
    So you're trying to make your
    blade longer to reach me.
[10:33] Gaja
    But you're too slow.
[10:35] Asta
    Even if I can sense him with
    my ki, I can't keep up.
[10:39] Gaja
    As long as I use the Mana Method
     to increase my speed,
[10:42] Gaja
    I'll have no problem dodging.
[10:50] Gaja
    The mages of the Heart Kingdom
[10:52] Gaja
    borrow power from natural mana.
[10:55] Gaja
    Depending on the level of their Mana Method,
[10:57] Gaja
    they will have unlimited use of their mana.
[11:02] Gaja
    Which means that so long as your attacks
    don't reach me, my mana is limitless.
[11:10] Asta
    If I keep using up my anti-magic,
    I'm going to lose.
[11:20] Mereoleona
    What was that?
[11:22] Mereoleona
    This is pathetic.
[11:29] Mereoleona
    Before the devil has a chance to end you,
[11:32] Mereoleona
    I wouldn't mind giving you
    your last rites here and now.
[11:36] Yami
    I'm already grateful that you're
    helping me out with my training.
[11:39] Yami
    There's no need for you to do that, too.
[11:46] Yami
    I guess I can't even get in the
    ring with you unless I can use
[11:50] Yami
    that superhuman walking-through-the-air bit.
[11:53] Asta
    Think... I need to figure out
    an attack that can reach him,
[11:56] Asta
    but one that's fast enough so he can't dodge!
[12:00] Gaja
    I've now seen the powers of the Demon-Slayer
     Sword and the Demon-Destroyer Sword.
[12:05] Gaja
    Does that sword have some
    special power, too?
[12:09] Asta
    That's right. The Demon-Dweller Sword...
[12:12] Asta
    It must have some power
    that I haven't drawn out yet.
[12:16] Asta
    That reminds me. Back then,
[12:18] Asta
    I was able to unleash the mana
    that I borrowed from Noelle.
[12:23] Asta
    I might be able to do the same
    thing with my anti-magic!
[12:27] Gaja
    It appears as though
    you've found your answer.
[12:31] Asta
    I'd like another try, please!
[12:33] Gaja
    Very well.
[12:35] Gaja
    I won't be holding back
    as much on this attack.
[12:38] Gaja
    If you can hit me even once,
    I will declare you the winner.
[12:42] Asta
    I'd prefer if you didn't hold back at all!
[12:49] Mereoleona
    If you're not going to
    make a move, then I will!
[12:56] Yami
    And now, I'm gonna kick the air!
[13:01] Mereoleona
    Lions hurl even their young
    into bottomless valleys.
[13:04] Mereoleona
    I'll have no problem hurling you into the lava!
[13:07] Yami
    Are you seriously chasing me right now?!
[13:10] Yami
    But, I mean... Sisgoleon's right.
[13:13] Yami
    If I lose here...
[13:18] Yami
    I'm not gonna stand a chance against a devil!
[13:22] Mereoleona
    Oh?
[13:23] Yami
    Guess we're finally on equal ground.
[13:26] Mereoleona
    Equal ground? What are you babbling about?
[13:29] Yami
    I'm just saying we're in
    the same position now!
[13:34] Mereoleona
    You're a babe who just learned
    how to walk! Know your place!
[13:39] Yami
    I've gotta do something
    about that superhuman punch.
[13:49] Asta
    Just like when I borrowed
    Noelle's mana last time...
[13:53] Asta
    I need to infuse the Demon-Dweller
    Sword with my anti-magic!
[13:57] Gaja
    Now, as you wish, I will
    show you my true strength.
[14:04] Yami
    I just need to keep increasing
    my speed with Mana Zone,
[14:07] Yami
    and not give her a chance to use magic!
[14:11] Mereoleona
    I see. Looks like you can
    use Mana Zone somewhat now.
[14:18] Mereoleona
    I guess there's no reason for
    me to hold back any longer.
[14:21] Yami
    You actually thought you were
    holding back? Seriously?
[14:25] Mereoleona
    I'll now thank you for
    showing me a good time.
[14:28] Mereoleona
    Try not to die from it.
[14:42] Yami
    Can I actually stop all of that?
[14:44] Yami
    Well, I'm gonna have to!
[14:51] Asta
    Don't doubt that you can do this!
[14:53] Asta
    You're just gonna have to!
[14:55] Asta/Yami
    Right here, right now...
    I'm gonna surpass my limits!
[14:59] Yami
    Mana Zone: Dark Magic: Black Hole!
[15:06] Yami
    This is...
[15:11] Mereoleona
    Is he nullifying my mana?
[15:13] Yami
    Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Lightless Slash!
[15:23] Asta
    There!
[15:32] Gaja
    Well done.
[15:36] Asta
    Heck yeah! I got a hit in!
[15:41] Mereoleona
    Things are finally getting interesting!
[15:44] Mereoleona
    I'll turn you into ash and
    enjoy a nice, long bath!
[15:47] Yami
    Nah, I got the gist of it, so I'm gonna go.
[15:50] Mereoleona
    What? Are you scared?
[15:52] Yami
    Anyway, see ya.
[15:59] Mereoleona
    Well, that's no fun.
[16:07] Gaja
    If you'll now begin your reports. Potrof?
[16:11] Potrof
    Rill and Charmy are getting the
    hang of using the Mana Method.
[16:16] Potrof
    They're geniuses, to be honest.
[16:19] Potrof
    The best thing I can do is
    help bring out their potential
[16:23] Potrof
    and prepare their meals.
[16:25] Sarado
    Huh... Charlotte and Mimosa are amazing, too.
[16:29] Sarado
    They're fighting like, "kaboom,"
    and getting better like, "fabam"!
[16:33] Undine
    If we're talking about
    how much they've grown,
[16:35] Undine
    I'd say Noelle and Nero have grown the most.
[16:38] Undine
    Of course, they are being trained by the
[16:41] Undine
    Queen of the Heart Kingdom
    and the Water Spirit,
[16:43] Undine
    so of course they're going to get stronger.
[16:47] Floga
    Looks like you're proud of your students.
[16:50] Loropechika
    Smurik, how is Finral doing?
[16:53] Smurik
    For the time being, let the wind guide us
[16:57] Smurik
    and help us nurture the storm within him.
[17:00] Sarado
    You can never just get to the point, can you?
[17:03] Smurik
    Did you say something?
[17:05] Smurik
    I couldn't hear you over
    the whispers of the wind.
[17:08] Potrof
    N-Now, now...
[17:10] Gaja
    Floga, how about you?
[17:12] Floga
    It appears that Leo is
    doubting his own strength.
[17:18] (Flashback) Floga
    Why not concentrate on your strengths?
[17:22] (Flashback) Leo
    My... strengths?
[17:25] (Flashback) Floga
    You may not be the most talented,
    but you're patient and don't give up.
[17:31] (Flashback) Floga
    Your technique is getting
    more powerful every day.
[17:34] (Flashback) Floga
    You have the strength to endure.
[17:37] (Flashback) Floga
    You're you, remember, Leo?
[17:41] (Flashback) Leo
    The strength... to endure?
[17:44] Floga
    I want to draw out potential
    that he hasn't realized yet.
[17:49] Floga
    That's my idea.
[17:50] Loropechika
    Yes, I'm counting on you.
[17:53] Undine
    How's Asta doing?
[17:55] Gaja
    Since he wields anti-magic, he is
    our trump card against the devil.
[18:00] Gaja
    It appears as though he's becoming
    stronger in his own way.
[18:06] Loropechika
    We don't have much more time.
[18:09] Loropechika
    Please focus everything
    you have on this training.
[18:12] All
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[18:14] Loropechika
    Let us defeat the Spade
    Kingdom and the devil.
SIGN    Spade Kingdom Garrison
[18:31] Ralph
    There are so many of them.
[18:35] Ralph
    Their preparations for the invasion are almost
    complete. We don't have much more time.
[18:42] Resistance A
    That's...
[18:46] Soldier A
    Rejoice! You will contribute to
    the prosperity of the Spade Kingdom!
[18:53] Kid
    Hey, where are we going?
[18:54] Person
    Shh! Quiet!
[18:57] Soldier
    Come on, now! Get up!
[19:01] Resistance A
    We can't go out there right now, Ralph.
[19:03] Ralph
    I know.
[19:08] Ralph
    If we can get through that strong
    magic region, and even one of us
[19:12] Ralph
    can reach the Clover Kingdom...
[19:17] Ralph
    That's the little hope we have left.
[19:20] Ralph
    We'll just have to hang on to that!
[19:23] Ralph
    Let's go!
[19:29] Soldier A
    Hello, foolish rebels.
[19:33] Soldier A
    Your friend told us all about you...
[19:37] Soldier A
    in exchange for their
    precious daughter's life.
[19:41] Ralph
    Let's make a break for it!
[19:45] Soldier
    I'll move up the ranks if
    I bring back your head!
[19:53] Soldier
    It's that simple.
[19:56] Guy
    Ralph?!
[20:01] Guy
    Ralph!
[20:02] Ralph
    What are you—
[20:03] Guy
    We leave you with our mana.
[20:06] Guy
    Please, Ralph...
[20:07] Guy
    For him...
[20:10] Guy
    You must follow in your father's footsteps...
[20:15] Soldier
    You're not getting away!
[20:17] Guy
    Go!
[20:25] Ralph
    I promise I'll get there!
[20:27] Ralph
    I'll get to them...
[20:30] Ralph
    Just beyond this cliff
    is a strong magic region.
[20:33] Ralph
    Will I be able to get through?
[20:36] Ralph
    No...
[20:37] Ralph
    I can't let their sacrifice go to waste.
[20:40] Ralph
    I am my father's son!
[20:42] Ralph
    I will see this through!
[20:45] Soldier
    There he is!
[20:45] Soldier
    Get him!
[20:48] Ralph
    I cannot be defeated here.
[21:07] Ralph
    Lord Yuno!
[21:09] Soldier
    Did we do it?
[21:11] Soldier
    I'm not sure.
[21:12] Soldier
    But even if he's still alive,
    that's a strong magic region.
[21:17] Soldier
    It won't be long before he perishes.
[21:20] Soldier
    Yeah.
[21:21] Soldier
    Foolish Resistance. Serves them right.
[21:25] Soldier
    Let's head back.
[21:26] Soldier
    We're too close to the strong magic region.
[21:29] Soldier
    Who knows what will happen
    if we hang around too long?
[21:32] Soldier
    Yeah.
SIGN    Spade Castle
[21:37] Dante
    The son of the former commander of
    the Mage Defense Force's 1st Division?
[21:42] Guy
    Yes. According to what another
    one of the rebel scum told us,
[21:45] Guy
    apparently his name is Ralph.
[21:48] Guy
    His name appears in—
[21:49] Dante
    It doesn't matter.
[21:53] Dante
    A single fly isn't going to
    bring any harm to our plans.
[23:41] Jack
    Who am I, you ask? I guess I wouldn't
    mind telling you a little about me.
