Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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. [23:45] Some     Next time on Black Clover,      Page 157: "Five-Leaf Clover." SIGN    Page 157          Five-Leaf Clover [23:50] Some     Within the clover's fifth leaf resides a devil.
