SIGN    The Faraway Future
[01:37] Liebe
    Devils are born in the underworld.
[01:40] Liebe
    From the moment they're born, devils have
    an established spot in the pecking order
[01:44] Liebe
    that cannot be overturned.
[01:47] Liebe
    Since I was born with no magic,
    I was definitely at the very bottom.
[01:50] Devil 2
    How do you like that?
[01:52] Liebe
    I spent every day covered in my own blood.
[01:55] (Flashback) Devil 2
    You're so weak, we can't
    even kill time with you.
[01:58] (Flashback) Devil 1
    If only that didn't exist.
[02:01] Liebe
    All devils want to go to the human world.
[02:06] Liebe
    But because the gates of the
    underworld block their way,
[02:09] Liebe
    the powerful oppress the weak,
[02:12] Liebe
    and then the weak oppress those
    who are even weaker to pass the time.
[02:16] Liebe
    That's how shitty that world is.
[02:19] (Flashback) Higher devil
    Go on. Cry and scream like you usually do.
[02:22] Liebe
    I didn't care about anything anymore.
[02:25] Liebe
    Not even about dying.
[02:28] (Flashback) Higher devil
    Why, you little... Who do you think you are?!
[02:35] Liebe
    I thought I'd crash into the gates,
    and my body would shatter into pieces.
[02:50] Liebe
    But because I had no magic,
    I slipped right through the gates
[02:54] Liebe
    and actually ended up in the human world.
[02:58] Liebe
    Maybe it was because I had
    no magic and was helpless...
[03:01] Liebe
    Or maybe it was because I was so beat-up...
[03:03] Liebe
    But I had no feelings toward
    the humans whatsoever.
[03:08] Liebe
    However...
[03:09] (Flashback) Middle aged man
    Look over there! Those horns... Could he be...
[03:12] (Flashback) Mother
    A devil! He's going to curse us!
[03:14] (Flashback) Young man
    We need to contact the Magic Knights!
[03:18] Liebe
    Because I'm a devil, I was chased down
    by humans with powerful magic.
[03:22] Liebe
    My body stopped moving,
    and I was ready to accept my death.
[03:30] Liebe
    At last... this worthless life will be over.
[03:43] (Flashback) Licita
    Hey, you're awake? Oh, thank goodness!
[03:47] (Flashback) Licita
    My name is Licita. Nice to meet you!
[03:51] (Flashback) Licita
    This is my house.
[03:53] (Flashback) Licita
    Don't worry. No one else knows you're here.
[03:59] (Flashback) Licita
    This is my magic.
[04:03] (Flashback) Licita
    As long as something lacks mana, I can
    put it into and take it out of containers.
[04:08] (Flashback) Licita
    I found you while I was gathering
    firewood and carried you back in this.
[04:13] (Flashback) Licita
    But talk about a surprise!
[04:16] (Flashback) Licita
    The other day, I found a
    five-leaf-clover grimoire,
[04:20] (Flashback) Licita
    but I didn't think I'd
    actually run into a devil!
[04:24] (Flashback) Liebe
    You're... not scared of me?
[04:29] (Flashback) Licita
    Why would I be scared of an injured child?
[04:32] (Flashback) Licita
    Besides, you don't have
    any magic, and you're so weak.
[04:36] (Flashback) Liebe
    Still, I'm a devil.
[04:38] (Flashback) Licita
    Tsk, tsk, tsk...
[04:40] (Flashback) Licita
    I can give you a run for your money
    when it comes to being loathed.
[04:46] (Flashback) Licita
    My body robs magic and life
    from whatever's near me.
[04:51] (Flashback) Licita
    Just like that.
[04:53] (Flashback) Licita
    So I live out here by myself, away from
    the village, so I won't bother anyone.
[04:59] (Flashback) Licita
    But wait!
[05:01] (Flashback) Licita
    Maybe it's because you're
    a devil without any magic,
[05:04] (Flashback) Licita
    but it looks like I'm not
    stealing away your mana or life.
[05:07] (Flashback) Licita
    Don't you think...
[05:08] (Flashback) Licita
    this is destiny?!
[05:10] (Flashback) Licita
    You should totally be my kid!
[05:13] (Flashback) Liebe
    Huh?
[05:15] Liebe
    A devil... adopted as a human's child?
[05:17] Liebe
    I couldn't wrap my head
    around what she was saying.
[05:21] Liebe
    But...
[05:26] (Flashback) Licita
    Come on! This way!
[05:29] (Flashback) Licita
    Woo-hoo! Dinner secured!
[05:33] Liebe
    That human...
[05:36] (Flashback) Licita
    Isn't this beautiful?
[05:37] (Flashback) Liebe
    Yeah...
[05:38] Liebe
    For someone like me who was
    born in a dark, shitty hellhole,
[05:42] Liebe
    tormented for being a devil with no magic,
[05:46] Liebe
    and who cursed the fact that I was ever born...
[05:49] Liebe
    She changed my world.
[05:56] (Flashback) Licita
    Just because you're a devil doesn't
    automatically make you a bad guy!
[06:01] (Flashback) Licita
    Because...
[06:03] (Flashback) Licita
    You're not a bad guy!
[06:05] (Flashback) Licita
    You saved me from the
    suffering of being all alone.
[06:09] (Flashback) Licita
    Thanks, Liebe!
[06:12] (Flashback) Liebe
    I... did... that?
[06:17] (Flashback) Licita
    Liebe! What's wrong, Liebe?!
[06:22] (Flashback) Liebe
    I... am...
[06:25] (Flashback) Lucifero
    Lucifero!
[06:28] (Flashback) Lucifero
    To think there'd be a devil
    out in the human world
[06:31] (Flashback) Lucifero
    without making a contract with a human.
[06:35] (Flashback) Lucifero
    I'm glad I decided to kill
    some time looking for you.
[06:38] Liebe
    One of the highest-ranked devils?
[06:41] Liebe
    My body won't do what I want it to...
[06:44] (Flashback) Lucifero
    What an excellent find!
[06:46] (Flashback) Lucifero
    I'll use him and try to find a way to
    manifest my own body in the human wor—
[06:53] (Flashback) Licita
    Who the heck are you?! Get out of Liebe's body!
[06:56] (Flashback) Lucifero
    Foolish human.
[06:58] (Flashback) Lucifero
    Even though I cannot use most of my powers,
     you're still no match for...
[07:04] Lucifero
    She's... draining my mana?
[07:07] (Flashback) Lucifero
    Insolent human... You must have a death wish!
[07:11] (Flashback) Liebe
    No...
[07:12] (Flashback) Licita
    I won't let go!
[07:21] (Flashback) Licita
    I'm never...
[07:25] (Flashback) Licita
    letting go again!
[07:35] (Flashback) Licita
    I won't...
[07:37] (Flashback) Licita
    I won't let you...
[07:40] (Flashback) Licita
    take my son!
[07:44] (Flashback) Lucifero
    Inconceivable... To think a human
    like her would get in my way...
[07:48] (Flashback) Lucifero
    But I can meddle with a lower devil anywhere.
[07:53] (Flashback) Lucifero
    I shall return.
[07:59] (Flashback) Liebe
    L-Licita...
[08:03] (Flashback) Licita
    I'm sorry... I'm not very bright...
[08:09] (Flashback) Licita
    This was the only way I could think
    of to protect you from that guy.
[08:15] (Flashback) Licita
    I'm going to use my magic to
    seal you into this grimoire.
[08:20] (Flashback) Licita
    By the time you emerge, I'm sure
    you'll have grown big and strong.
[08:31] (Flashback) Licita
    Live, Liebe...
[08:36] (Flashback) Licita
    My beloved son.
[08:46] (Flashback) Liebe
    Mom!
[09:04] Liebe
    Hurry up...
[09:06] Liebe
    and hand over that body!
[09:11] Asta
    This ki... is filled with an
    insane amount of rage and hatred.
[09:15] Asta
    And...
[09:17] Asta
    Sadness.
[09:19] Asta
    You must have your reasons, too.
[09:24] Asta
    Then I'll accept your feelings and fight...
[09:28] Asta
    And I'll win!
[09:41] Liebe
    You can't be serious!
[09:42] Liebe
    You're missing an arm and don't
    have any magic! Like you could win!
[09:51] Asta
    I'm totally serious!
    I'm gonna win with these muscles!
[09:57] Nacht
    The true nature of the
    anti-magic that the devil uses
[10:00] Nacht
    is the power to nullify magic.
[10:03] Nacht
    Since Asta can't use magic anyway,
    this doesn't put him at a disadvantage.
[10:07] Nacht
    But...
[10:12] Liebe
    That's great, but I'm not losing!
[10:17] Asta
    Captain Yami's katana!
[10:20] Liebe
    Without my powers, these would
    just be rusted hunks of metal!
[10:35] Liebe
    No matter how physically skilled you are,
[10:38] Liebe
    you don't have any magic,
    so you can't use spatial transfer!
[10:42] Liebe
    And you can't shatter steel!
[10:49] Liebe
    You'd stand no chance against a
    higher devil's magical powers!
[10:54] Liebe
    You'd never be able to win!
[10:59] Liebe
    I was sealed within the five-leaf
    grimoire and unable to escape.
[11:04] (Flashback) Liebe
    They won't get away with this...
    I'll kill them.
[11:07] (Flashback) Liebe
    I'll kill all of them!
[11:10] (Flashback) Liebe
    I hate them...
[11:11] (Flashback) Liebe
    I'll kill them!
[11:12] Liebe
    So I spent all of my time cursing
    Lucifero and the other devils, and then...
[11:18] Liebe
    I gained the power of anti-magic,
    the power to nullify magic.
[11:24] (Flashback) Liebe
    I'm going to use my powers to get revenge!
[11:32] Liebe
    And that was when the five-leaf
    grimoire chose a human.
[11:38] Liebe
    By some twist of fate,
    he was also born with no magic.
[11:44] Liebe
    It looks like I'll have to
    use this human as a host
[11:46] Liebe
    to come back out into the human world again.
[11:51] Liebe
    Even if I have to steal
    his body, I'm going to...
[11:56] Liebe
    Every single devil is a piece of shit!
[12:00] Liebe
    And that's exactly why I'm going
    to kill every last one of them!
[12:04] Liebe
    Even if I have to steal your body,
     my hatred is going to win!
[12:12] Asta
    I'm finally starting to understand you.
[12:16] Asta
    That must be how you really feel!
[12:20] Liebe
    What are you—
[12:32] Liebe
    You can't use magic or anti-magic...
    So what the hell can you possibly do?!
[12:51] Asta
    As long as I concentrated and read your ki,
[12:53] Asta
    your movements with those swords
    were super easy to read!
[12:58] Asta
    You're right. I don't have any magic.
[13:01] Asta
    And without you, I can't even use anti-magic.
[13:04] Asta
    But I have strong, unbeatable feelings,
    along with all the people I've met!
[13:10] Asta
    I was taken in at the church at
    Hage Village the same day as Yuno,
[13:15] Asta
    and I didn't have a lick of mana.
[13:17] Asta
    On top of that, Yuno's hot and a genius!
[13:20] Asta
    But still, he's my rival, and we promised
    to see who would become the Wizard King!
[13:25] Asta
    And that's exactly why I was able to keep
    getting stronger so I wouldn't lose!
[13:30] Asta
    Because I met Captain Yami
    at the entrance exam...
[13:34] Asta
    Because I met the rest of the Black Bulls...
[13:36] Asta
    I am who I am today!
[13:38] Asta
    That's not all!
[13:40] Asta
    I've met so many people up until now!
[13:44] Asta
    I fought so many enemies.
[13:47] Asta
    Some of them even became
    my friends after we fought,
[13:50] Asta
    and some didn't... but I won't forget them!
     I won't forget any of them!
[13:55] Asta
    All of these encounters
    helped make me who I am!
[13:59] (Flashback) Julius
    Merit that proves they are the best.
[14:02] (Flashback) Yuno
    Why are you taking forever
    over there, Asta?
[14:06] (Flashback) Yami
    I can't win this one without you...
[14:08] (Flashback) Yami
    Asta!
[14:22] Liebe
    This little...
[14:49] Asta
    Even after the five-leaf grimoire appeared,
    and I was able to use anti-magic...
[14:54] Asta
    This whole time!
[14:57] Asta
    In order to be like
[14:59] Asta
    all of the magical swordsmen
    I'd fought alongside and against...
[15:04] Asta
    I kept training!
[15:32] Yami
    Is that your limit?
[15:34] Yami
    I know you can do better than that, Asta!
[15:38] Asta
    Yeah!
[15:43] Nacht
    No matter how hard you train,
    your body still has limits.
[15:47] Nacht
    You still don't stand a chance
    against powerful magic.
[15:50] Nacht
    But...
[15:52] Nacht
    It looks like all that hard
    work wasn't for naught.
[16:01] Asta
    You're not just fighting against
    some guy who can't use magic.
[16:07] Asta
    You're fighting against a guy
    who can't use magic...
[16:10] Asta
    and has fought against countless
    powerful warriors!
[16:14] Liebe
    There's no way I can lose...
    I spent so much time cursing them!
[16:18] Liebe
    All alone...
[16:21] Liebe
    All—
[16:44] Asta
    I... win!
[16:57] Nacht
    Well done.
[17:00] Nacht
    Now the preparations for the
    devil-binding ritual are complete.
[17:04] Nacht
    You will make a contract with this devil that
    gives you complete dominance over him,
[17:07] Nacht
    and you will make him your servant.
[17:10] Nacht
    Just think, "Obey me."
[17:11] Nacht
    Then he will follow your every order.
[17:15] Nacht
    He'll be able to aid you as your familiar.
[17:19] Nacht
    That is the path you should take
    to become the ultimate warrior.
[17:23] Asta
    I see. In that case...
[17:32] Asta
    Let's be friends!
[17:37] Nacht
    Huh?
[17:39] Asta
    What? Devils don't even
    know what friends are?
[17:42] Asta
    Friends are like, uh...
[17:45] Nacht
    Hold on a second. Are you trying to
    make an equal contract with that devil?
[17:51] Asta
    Yeah!
[17:52] Asta
    I said this before we fought, but he's
    the reason I was able to fight until now!
[17:58] Asta
    But I didn't know anything about him,
    even though we'd been together all that time.
[18:03] Asta
    I want to know even more about him!
[18:05] Asta
    So first, we need to be friends!
[18:09] Nacht
    What are you talking about?
[18:10] Nacht
    There's no guarantee that
    this devil will listen to you.
[18:15] Nacht
    There's not a single merit
    in a contract like that.
[18:19] Asta
    Nah, I mean...
[18:20] Asta
    He wasn't fighting seriously to begin with.
[18:24] Asta
    He kept saying "kill" and stuff,
    but he was definitely holding back.
[18:29] Asta
    You can't actually kill anyone, can you?
[18:32] Asta
    You're someone who can hate or be
    sad for someone else's sake, right?
[18:36] Asta
    That's why we can get along!
[18:38] Asta
    And that's why I want us to be equals!
[18:42] Asta
    This isn't a devil-binding ritual.
[18:44] Asta
    It's, uh... Oh! A devil-befriending ritual!
[18:49] Gimodero
    He's a real idiot, Mister Nacht.
[18:53] Nacht
    He sure is.
[18:55] Asta
    And it seems like we want to
    take down the same guys!
[19:00] Asta
    Let's beat down the bad guys together!
[19:03] Asta
    You and me!
[19:07] Liebe
    Yeah, I can't believe how
    unbelievably stupid you are.
[19:12] Liebe
    I don't know if destiny
    actually exists... But he's...
[19:16] Asta
    Hey, by the way, what's your name?
[19:20] (Flashback) Licita
    Hey, by the way, what's your name?
[19:24] (Flashback) Liebe
    Name?
[19:26] (Flashback) Licita
    What? You don't have one?
[19:27] (Flashback) Licita
    Then maybe I'll just give you one myself!
[19:34] (Flashback) Licita
    Liebe!
[19:35] (Flashback) Licita
    Starting today, you're Liebe!
[19:39] Liebe
    He really is...
[19:44] Liebe
    Licita's kid.
[19:48] Liebe
    I'm... Liebe.
[20:02] Asta
    The heck is this thing?
[20:06] Asta
    My right arm is back!
[20:08] Asta
    Thanks so much!
[20:10] Nacht
    The contract is complete.
[20:12] Nacht
    Unbelievable. That contract
    was unprecedented.
[20:16] Nacht
    I never imagined you'd be such a fool.
[20:19] Nacht
    However...
[20:23] Nacht
    You chose what was right.
[20:27] Nacht
    But that doesn't mean people who
    are right will always be rewarded.
[20:31] Nacht
    So you need to get stronger,
[20:33] Nacht
    to keep yourself from losing to unjust evil.
[20:37] Nacht
    Are you prepared to become the
    strongest in the next two days?
[20:41] Asta
    Yeah!
[20:52] Noelle
    Loropechika... I'm going to
    save you, no matter what.
[20:56] Noelle
    Okay, everyone! Let's do this!
[21:12] Finral
    We're gonna do this.
[21:14] Finral
    If the enemy is tremendously strong,
[21:16] Finral
    then we'll just surpass our limits!
[21:18] Finral
    Because we're the Black Bulls! Right, Yami?
[22:11] Yuno
    I've been doing everything
    I can to defeat Zenon.
[22:14] Yuno
    But as for the actual results...
[22:17] Yuno
    Why don't you stop hiding and just come out?
[22:22] Langris
    I thought maybe you could use someone
    with spatial magic to spar with.
[22:26] Langris
    I suppose I should help you
    out with your training, huh?
[22:32] Yuno
    As much as I'd like to handle this on my own,
[22:35] Yuno
    this is something that affects
    all of the Golden Dawn.
[22:38] Yuno
    You've become stronger, too, haven't you?
[22:41] Yuno
    So I will gladly accept your offer.
[22:43] Langris
    You're still an insolent brat,
[22:45] Langris
    but it looks like you're able to
    be a bit more straightforward now.
[22:49] Yuno
    I'm going to save Captain Vangeance.
[22:52] Asta
    All right! Just wait, Captain Yami!
[22:57] Asta
    No matter how powerful they are,
     I'm gonna defeat them...
[23:01] Asta
    and protect this world!
[23:06] Nar
    In this world where magic is everything,
    there was one boy who couldn't use magic.
[23:14] Nar
    But he never let that hold him back.
[23:17] Nar
    He trained through blood, sweat, and tears,
[23:20] Nar
    and became stronger with his childhood rival...
[23:24] Nar
    to one day become the Wizard King.
