**[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.

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.

Who am I, you ask? I guess I wouldn't
mind telling you a little about me.
