**[00:05] Nar**
*And in the clover's fifth leaf resides...*
**[00:07] Nar**
*a devil.*
**[00:10] Nar**
*What Asta, who was born without magic,*
**[00:12] Nar**
*gained from the five-leaf grimoire was*
**[00:14] Nar**
* the power of anti-magic,*
* which nullifies any magic.*
**[00:19] Nar**
* Meanwhile, the Dark Triad*
* of the Spade Kingdom*
**[00:23] Nar**
* also possessed the powers of*
* the devils from the underworld,*
**[00:26] Nar**
*and began invading the other kingdoms.*
**[00:30] Nar**
* Asta continued to fight*
* while believing in himself,*
**[00:34] Nar**
* along with his friends...*
* to protect this world!*
**[00:46] Vanica**
Oh, I just had a great idea.
**[00:48] Vanica**
Hey, Megicula, let's not kill her after all.
**[00:53] Megicula**
Oh? And why is that?
**[00:56] Megicula**
I thought it would be better to truly
kill the wisdom of the Heart Kingdom.
**[01:01] Vanica**
Oh, who cares about that?
**[01:04] Vanica**
Let's take her to the Spade Kingdom.
**[01:10] Vanica**
I just remembered.
**[01:12] Vanica**
I fought some chick in armor
just like you, my widdle Noelle.
**[01:17] Vanica**
If I remember correctly... Ah!
She was my widdle Acier!
**[01:21] Vanica**
Oh, that was so much fun!
**[01:24] Vanica**
Back when I fought her,
**[01:27] Vanica**
she got super strong after
I took a child hostage.
**[01:33] Vanica**
If I take her hostage,
**[01:36] Vanica**
you'll get even stronger, too,
won't you, my widdle Noelle?
**[01:41] Vanica**
Not that I really understand, but she's
your precious little friend, right?
**[01:47] Vanica**
Right?
**[01:50] Vanica**
No one's going to complain
if I keep her, right?
**[01:55] Megicula**
Honestly... You never cease
to fascinate me, Vanica.
**[01:59] Vanica**
Well, I guess we're done here.
**[02:07] Mimosa**
Loropechika! Noelle!
**[02:11] Robero**
Lady Vanica, are we going back
to the Spade Kingdom already?
**[02:16] Robero**
Could you wait just a moment?
**[02:19] Robero**
Just a little more and I'll have her—
**[02:21] Vanica**
Don't talk to me. You're gross.
**[02:24] Vanica**
Actually, I don't need any of you anymore.
**[02:28] Robero**
Huh?
**[02:38] Vanica**
Curse-Warding Magic: Exploding Life.
**[02:42] Mimosa**
*His mana is expanding.*
**[02:44] Robero**
Lady... Vanica...
**[02:47] Robero**
What... are you...
**[02:50] Vanica**
It's a curse bomb!
**[02:53] Vanica**
You know that devil power
I gave you Dark Disciples?
**[02:58] Vanica**
It's going to go all kaboom now!
**[03:01] Robero**
What?!
**[03:05] Svenkin**
Wait... Lady Vanica...
**[03:10] Glasses**
Lady Vanica, you wouldn't...
**[03:12] Halbert**
Please wait, Lady Va—
**[03:21] Vanica**
This whole area's gonna go kablooey,
**[03:24] Vanica**
but I'm sure you can
survive that, Widdle Noelle!
**[03:27] Vanica**
Well, I'll be waiting in
the Spade Kingdom for you!
**[03:31] Vanica**
Get stronger, okay?
**[03:34] Vanica**
My wid-dle No-elle!
**[03:39] Noelle**
Vanica!
***SIGN*** Black Oath
**[06:36] Yami**
*The key here is definitely Asta's anti-magic.*
**[06:40] Yami**
* We have to somehow hit that*
* guy with Asta's sword.*
**[06:46] Asta**
*Damn it! I'm definitely holding him back!*
**[06:49] Asta**
* I'm only hanging in there*
* because of Captain Yami!*
**[06:53] Asta**
* My six months of training isn't nearly*
* enough to stand against him.*
**[06:58] Dante**
More... Entertain me more!
**[07:02] Dante**
This is all just feeding my pleasure!
**[07:09] Asta**
* If I don't try to use all of the*
* unknown powers that are inside me...*
**[07:17] Asta**
*Hey, you're watching, aren't you... my devil?!*
**[07:24] Devil**
Welcome.
**[07:28] Asta**
Who the hell are you?!
**[07:31] Devil**
Well, that's cold.
**[07:33] Devil**
I'm the one who's been the closest
to you this whole time.
**[07:38] Asta**
I remember now.
**[07:42] Asta**
We've met like this before,
though you seem a bit different now.
**[07:46] (Flashback) Devil**
Kill...
**[07:48] (Flashback) Devil**
Kill... I'll kill them! They will pay...
**[07:51] (Flashback) Devil**
Kill...
**[07:53] Asta**
I felt your rage earlier.
**[07:57] Asta**
I'm not sure why, but you want to
defeat that guy, too, don't you?
**[08:02] Asta**
I should've had a real heart-to-heart
with you much sooner.
**[08:08] Asta**
I'd like to do that now.
**[08:10] Asta**
So please... lend me your powers!
**[08:14] Asta**
Please!
**[08:18] Devil**
Very well...
**[08:20] Devil**
I'll give you some of my true power.
**[08:24] Devil**
But as things stand right now, it won't work.
**[08:27] Devil**
I'll need something equal in return.
**[08:31] Asta**
Something in return?
**[08:35] Devil**
I'll be taking a part of your body!
**[08:40] Devil**
You're making a deal with a devil.
**[08:43] Devil**
Are you sure you still want this?
**[08:47] Asta**
Even if I become a devil...
No matter what I have to do...
**[08:53] Asta**
I have to surpass my limits.
**[08:57] (Flashback) Yami**
I can't win this one without you...
**[09:00] (Flashback) Yami**
Asta!
**[09:03] Asta**
Those words mean that much to me.
**[09:10] Asta**
If I can't get through this, there's no
way I can become the Wizard King!
**[09:15] (Flashback) Yami**
You're funny, kid.
**[09:17] (Flashback) Yami**
Join my squad.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Yami**
And then, someday,
**[09:20] (Flashback) Yami**
become the Wizard King.
**[09:24] Asta**
I will become the Wizard King.
**[09:26] Asta**
But before that...
**[09:29] Asta**
I want to be someone who can live up to
Captain Yami's hopes and expectations!
**[09:34] Devil**
Very well. I'll give it to you.
**[09:43] Dante**
Gravity Magic: Gravity Singularity!
**[10:00] Asta**
This is everything...
**[10:16] Asta**
that I've got right now!
**[10:24] Devil**
Fifty seconds.
**[10:26] Devil**
That right arm is no longer the same as when
I was just dribbling some power into you.
**[10:32] Devil**
It is power itself.
**[10:35] Devil**
Your body won't last more than fifty seconds.
**[10:39] Asta**
That's plenty!
**[11:12] Dante**
Excellent, boy!
**[11:21] Yami**
* The way he's fighting... He's definitely*
* on guard when Asta attacks.*
**[11:28] Yami**
* Is there anti-magic coming*
* from his right hand?*
**[11:32] Yami**
*If Asta can get a clean hit in on Dante...*
**[11:36] Yami**
*We can win!*
**[11:37] Yami**
Kick-ass job, Asta!
**[11:39] Yami**
*Then I guess I need to...*
**[11:43] Yami**
*work a bit harder, too!*
**[11:47] Asta**
You, too, Captain Yami!
**[12:23] Dante**
What's that going to do now?!
**[12:50] Dante**
Excellent, you two.
**[12:54] Dante**
More... More!
**[13:02] Vanessa**
Asta...
**[13:03] Finral**
Yami!
**[13:06] Dante**
Entertain me...
**[13:08] Dante**
Entertain me even more!
**[13:11] Finral**
Both of them are
**[13:13] Finral**
moving at insane speeds...
**[13:17] Finral**
But it's like they're totally in sync.
***SIGN*** Time Until Asta's Devil Powers Run Out
**[13:41] Finral**
Despite everything going on,
they look like they're having fun.
***SIGN*** 8 Seconds Remaining
**[13:47] Dante**
Even so...
**[13:54] Dante**
Even so, in the end...
**[13:57] Dante**
I will crush everything...
**[14:02] Dante**
and win!
**[14:16] Asta**
Demon-Dweller!
**[14:28] Asta**
Demon-Destroyer!
**[14:31] Dante**
You're mine!
***SIGN*** 3 Seconds Remaining
**[14:43] Dante**
I am...
**[14:45] Dante**
immortal!
**[14:49] Dante**
This is the end!

**[15:31] Devil**
Yeah, for you.
**[16:11] Asta**
We win!
**[16:36] Yami**
Well done, Asta, you crazy son of a bitch.
**[16:40] Asta**
Thanks.
**[16:42] Vanessa**
You guys!
**[16:43] Vanessa**
That was amazing!
**[16:45] Finral**
Yeah, you guys are just... You're amazing!
**[16:51] Asta**
Thanks.
**[16:52] Yami**
Damn straight.
**[16:58] Henry**
Did... you... win?
**[17:08] Gauche**
I... What...
**[17:10] Grey**
Gauche...
**[17:13] Grey**
Gauche!
**[17:15] Grey**
Th-Th-Th... Thank goodness!
**[17:19] Gauche**
Uh, Grey...
**[17:21] Grey**
Huh?
**[17:23] Grey**
I-I-I-I'm so sorry!
**[17:26] Gauche**
Why are you apologizing?
**[17:28] Vanessa**
Well, well... What's going on with those two?
**[17:32] Finral**
What's the matter, Yami?
**[17:38] Yami**
He may be dying, but we need to restrain him.
**[17:43] Finral**
Oh, good point!
**[17:45] Yami**
Talk about a gigantic pain in the ass.
**[17:48] Yami**
You hardcore psycho stalker freak.
**[17:52] Yami**
Well, we captured the enemy's
top devil-possessed.
**[17:57] Yami**
Guess it's happily ever aft—
**[18:02] Finral**
Man, I'm beat.
**[18:05] Finral**
I can't wait to just dive into my bed.
**[18:24] Finral**
Ya...
**[18:26] Finral**
Yami!
**[18:31] Yami**
*I screwed up... I can't move!*
**[18:35] Finral**
Who... is that?!
**[18:39] Finral**
That's... the Captain of the Golden Dawn!
**[18:44] (Flashback) Dante**
The thing that connects this
world with the underworld is...
**[18:48] (Flashback) Dante**
a magic channel called the Tree of Qliphoth.
**[18:52] (Flashback) Dante**
And to create that Tree of Qliphoth,
**[18:55] (Flashback) Dante**
we need dark magic and world
tree magic at the arcane stage.
**[19:02] Zenon**
I was concerned about the magic
fluctuation and came to check.
**[19:06] Dante**
*All life is within the palms of our hands.*
**[19:12] Zenon**
You said all that, yet lost? How pathetic.
**[19:30] Zenon**
A spatial magic user?
**[19:34] (Flashback) Yuno**
You bastard!
**[19:38] Zenon**
I'm still affected from the
fight with my last opponent.
**[19:43] Zenon**
I'm glad I got him early.
**[19:47] Zenon**
I'd like to take this one, too, but time's up.
**[19:53] Gauche**
You're not going anywhere!
**[20:01] Vanessa**
Don't let him leave!
**[20:03] Vanessa**
*The world will end!*
**[20:06] Henry**
Captain!
**[20:18] Asta**
Please...
**[20:19] Asta**
Devil!
**[20:21] Asta**
You can claim more of my body if you want!
**[20:24] Asta**
I need to borrow your powers again!
**[20:30] Deviol**
No.
**[20:32] Devil**
Your body can't move anymore.
**[20:36] Devil**
Right now, it wouldn't be
able to handle another deal.
**[20:44] Asta**
It can't...
**[20:47] Asta**
handle another deal?
**[20:50] Devil**
That's because...
**[20:52] Devil**
you're weak.
**[20:55] Vanessa**
Finral, please!
**[20:57] Vanessa**
Rouge!
**[21:00] Vanessa**
*If we can just...*
**[21:03] Vanessa**
*touch the captain, even a little!*
**[21:49] Asta**
Captain Yami!
**[23:40] Zenon**
We have achieved our goals.
**[23:44] Finral**
N-No... Yami...
**[23:46] Finral**
What are we supposed to do now?
**[23:49] Some**
