    It appeared as though humanity
    would be destroyed by the demons.
[00:14] Nar
    But a single mage saved them all.
[00:26] Nar
    He was called the Wizard King,
    and he became a legend.
[00:34] Nar
    The Clover Kingdom's royal capital
    suddenly fell under attack.
[00:38] Nar
    Flames rose in five spots
    throughout the capital,
[00:40] Nar
    and the Magic Knights deployed to each
    location to help the panicked citizens.
[00:45] Nar
    They battled an unknown enemy.
[00:50] Asta
    Come at me yourself!
[00:52] Rades
    Don't get cocky, you little brat!

    Come forth, Alfred.

[01:06] Rades
    Go, Alfred!

    I would always close my eyes
[01:40] ---
    And cower at reality
[01:45] ---
    I can't stand the idea
[01:49] ---
    Of just making excuses to give up
[01:54] ---
    Stand right there
[01:55] ---
    I don't want to be near you
[01:56] ---
    Any minute now
[01:57] ---
    Just wait right there
[01:58] ---
    (The decisive battle is still a long way off)
[02:00] ---
    Black and blue
[02:02] ---
    I'll give up on giving up
[02:08] ---
    And get the world on my side
[02:12] ---
    I'm looking for the reason I'm alive
[02:16] ---
    Every time somewhere under this sky
[02:21] ---
    Break through the tearful nights
[02:27] ---
    And head where the light shines
[02:30] ---
    I want to keep my promise
[02:34] ---
    I'll deliver it to you

    Okay!

    Come down here!
[07:02] Rades
    Are you stupid?

    Who the heck would come down
    just because someone told them to?
[07:11] Noelle
    Back at the dungeon...
[07:14] (Flashback) Asta
    Yeah, leave it to me.
[07:15] (Flashback) Asta
    I'll throw enough at him from the both of us!
[07:18] (Flashback) Asta
    I don't have any magic,
[07:20] (Flashback) Asta
    but I've got...
[07:22] (Flashback) Asta
    my friends!
[07:26] Noelle
    My magical powers combined with Asta's sword.
[07:30] Noelle
    If only I could help him now like I did then,
[07:32] Noelle
    even if the enemy is in the air...
[07:35] Leopold
    Black Bulls girl!
[07:38] Leopold
    I, Leopold Vermillion, shall assist you.
[07:42] Leopold
    I shall not let him harm my rival any longer!
[07:44] Noelle
    Right.
[07:54] Rades
    You two can deal with him!
[07:59] Leopold
    Muddy Water Magic...
    Mine's a poor match for that.
[08:03] Noelle
    Asta...

    His wound from that attack earlier...
[08:20] rades
    You told me earlier, didn't you?
[08:24] rades
    To come at you myself?
[08:31] Rades
    You fool!
[08:33] Rades
    I'm not going to fight. I'm going to control
    my corpses and enjoy the show!
[08:38] Rades
    I'm going to win just by watching.
[08:40] Rades
    That's how I fight!
[08:44] Rades
    Unlike a meathead like you,
    I actually know how to use my brain.
[08:49] Rades
    Moron!
[08:53] Rades
    Moron!
[08:57] Asta
    Damn it...
[08:59] Asta
    That stupid jerk doesn't even
    think of people as people...
[09:03] Asta
    I don't wanna lose to him!
[09:05] Rades
    What's that look for?
[09:08] Rades
    Guts alone won't gonna get you
    out of this, you stupid brat!

    Alfred!
[09:18] Noelle
    Asta!
[09:27] Asta
    Damn it! What should I...
[09:32] Rades
    Kill him!
[09:54] Rades
    M-My Alfred... turned into
    charcoal in an instant...
[10:06] Rades
    He's...
[10:18] Asta
    Damn it... I couldn't defeat him on my own.
[10:26] Fuegoleon
    I apologize for horning in on your fight.
[10:32] Fuegoleon
    But I thought it would be a shame
    to let a man like you die here.
[10:41] Fuegoleon
    Forgive me.
[10:45] Fuegoleon
    You fought well for a peasant
    with no magical powers.
[10:51] (Flashback) Yami
    You're funny, kid.
[10:53] (Flashback) Yami
    Join my squad.
[10:55] Fuegoleon
    I hate to admit this, but it looks like
    Yami's foresight was better than mine.
[11:07] Fuegoleon
    Asta, wasn't it?
[11:10] Fuegoleon
    You mentioned that you were going to
    become the Wizard King, didn't you?
[11:16] Rades
    Huh?! Become the Wizard King?!
[11:20] Rades
    There's no way a stupid brat like you who's
    way weaker than me could become that!
[11:27] Fuegoleon
    Then...
[11:29] Fuegoleon
    I guess you're my rival, too.
[11:40] Rades
    So you're gonna fight me?
[11:42] Rades
    Finally, someone worth fighting...
[11:47] Rades
    Captain of the Crimson Lion Kings,
[11:51] Rades
    Fuegoleon Vermillion!
[11:55] Fuegoleon
    Asta,
[11:57] Fuegoleon
    leave the rest to me!
[12:21] Noelle
    Asta!
[12:23] Leopold
    Fuegoleon!
[12:33] Asta
    A captain of a Magic Knights squad...
[12:37] (Flashback) Fuegoleon
    I guess you're my rival, too.
[12:40] Asta
    Did he just say...
[12:48] Asta
    This is no time for me to be a wuss!
[12:50] Asta
    I can still...
[12:51] Asta
    do this!
[12:54] Fuegoleon
    No, you can't.
[12:56] Asta
    My head, my face, and my stomach hurt!
[12:59] Fuegoleon
    I'm sure they do.
[13:01] Fuegoleon
    As a warrior, you need to constantly
    be aware of your condition,
[13:04] Fuegoleon
    and determine if you're
    able to fight or not.
[13:10] Fuegoleon
    You are definitely not
    in that state right now.
[13:15] Fuegoleon
    Your exuberance may be your greatest
    weapon, but keep a cool head, too.
[13:20] Fuegoleon
    If you truly wish to become
    the Wizard King, that is.
[13:29] Fuegoleon
    Now, let's hear it.
[13:31] Fuegoleon
    What are you after?
[13:34] Fuegoleon
    Your actions are too scattered
    for an invasion and
[13:37] Fuegoleon
    too organized for indiscriminate terrorism.
[13:41] Fuegoleon
    Who are you?
[13:43] Rades
    Who am I? You don't recognize me?
[13:48] Rades
    I guess I'm the only one
    enjoying this reunion.
[13:51] Fuegoleon
    What?
[13:54] Rades
    Six years ago, I was the top choice
    for a Magic Knights squad.
[13:59] Fuegoleon
    What? You're a former Magic Knight?
[14:03] Rades
    I guess you wouldn't remember.
[14:05] Rades
    I wasn't important enough for
    you people to bother with.
[14:17] Fuegoleon
    He's a commoner, but he has
    tremendous magical powers.
[14:23] (Flashback) Guy
    All who wish to offer,
    please raise your hand.
[14:27] Fuegoleon
    I see... You're from back then.
[14:30] Fuegoleon
    What's your name?
[14:32] Rades
    It's Rades!
[14:34] Fuegoleon
    That's right.
[14:35] Fuegoleon
    I believe you joined the Purple Orcas.
[14:40] Rades
    They expelled me!
[14:43] Fuegoleon
    Expelled?
[14:45] Fuegoleon
    Rades, with all of your talent... Why?
[14:50] Rades
    They said that my magic was
    dangerous and forbidden,
[14:55] Rades
    and kicked me out of the
    squad and the kingdom both!
[14:59] Rades
    Because I was a commoner,
    no one stood up for me. No one!
[15:04] Rades
    Even though my powers were
    better than everyone else's!
[15:07] Rades
    Greater than the nobles'...
    greater than anyone's!
[15:11] Rades
    I thought magic meant
    everything in this kingdom!
[15:16] Rades
    And that's why!
[15:17] Rades
    I'm getting my revenge on the
    Magic Knights and this country!
[15:21] Rades
    With my powers! That's what I'm after!
SIGN    Though we do have another goal.
[15:29] Fuegoleon
    For such a childish reason...
[15:33] Fuegoleon
    You can't be serious, you fool!
[15:37] Rades
    Childish?
[15:40] Rades
    Reasons are always simple!
[15:49] Fuegoleon
    Leo!
[15:51] Leopold
    Fuegoleon?
[15:52] Fuegoleon
    Do you need help?
[15:53] Leopold
    Definitely not!
[15:56] Leopold
    Not at all!
[15:57] Noelle
    Hey...
[15:58] Fuegoleon
    Very good!
[16:00] Noelle
    Wha—
[16:01] Fuegoleon
    If you understand, take care
    of things quickly!
[16:04] Leopold
    Yes, sir!
[16:05] Asta
    Wh-Whoa, those brothers are Spartan for sure!
[16:10] Rades
    Way to ask the impossible!
[16:12] Rades
    Our attributes are lousy against each other.
[16:15] Rades
    Not like I'm going to let you help him, but...
[16:24] Fuegoleon
    Sorry, but I can't control
    the intensity of the flames.
[16:27] Fuegoleon
    Flame Creation Magic: Leo Rugiens!
[16:41] Fuegoleon
    A magical barrier...
[16:45] Rades
    Number One, Carl!
[16:47] Rades
    When he was alive, he was
    an expert at defense magic!
[16:51] Rades
    So I added my curse magic
    and made him even tougher!
[16:56] Asta
    He's bringing out one of those things again!
[16:59] Fuegoleon
    Asta.
[17:01] Asta
    Y-Yes, sir!
[17:03] Fuegoleon
    Do you remember what I said a moment ago?
[17:08] Fuegoleon
    Watch carefully.
[17:10] Rades
    Why are you so calm?!
[17:12] Rades
    Defense isn't the only thing he can do!
[17:18] Fuegoleon
    Flame Creation Magic: Ignis Columna.
[17:26] Rades
    Trying to match Carl's barrier spells, huh?
[17:31] Rades
    Well?!
[17:33] Rades
    What do you think about this invincible
    barrier and super barrage?
[17:38] Fuegoleon
    Indeed, there is nothing I can do right now.
[17:42] Rades
    Is that all you've got,
    Captain of the Crimson Lion Kings?
[18:04] Fuegoleon
    Flame Magic: Sol Linea.
[18:08] Fuegoleon
    In the instant you attack,
[18:10] Fuegoleon
    for just a moment, the mana of
    the barrier thins in places.
[18:14] Fuegoleon
    That's what I aimed for.
[18:17] Fuegoleon
    I deal with difficult magic every day.
[18:21] Fuegoleon
    Listen well, all of you!
[18:24] Fuegoleon
    As long as you are Magic Knights,
[18:26] Fuegoleon
    you will find yourselves constantly pitted
    against powerful enemies and magic!
[18:31] Fuegoleon
    But when that happens,
    if you gauge the ability calmly
[18:35] Fuegoleon
    and maintain a bold fighting spirit,
    you will never lose!
[18:40] Fuegoleon
    Is that clear?!
[18:41] All
    Yes, sir!
[18:43] Asta
    He instantly saw his opponent's weaknesses,
[18:46] Asta
    and even psyched up his allies.
[18:48] Asta
    So that's a Magic Knights Captain.
[18:53] Asta
    H-He's awesome!
[18:56] Rades
    I-Impossible! My Number One
    was defeated so easily...
[19:02] Rades
    D-Damn it! Damn it!
[19:06] Fuegoleon
    Rades, wasn't it?
[19:09] Fuegoleon
    Even if you possess extraordinary abilities
    and polish them to their fullest,
[19:14] Fuegoleon
    without a righteous spirit,
    your deeds are nothing but violence!
[19:18] Fuegloen
    No one will acknowledge something like that.
[19:27] Marx
    I have a report, Your Majesty.
[19:29] Marx
    Most of the attackers have
    been dealt with, it seems.
[19:35] King
    Took them long enough.
[19:37] King
    The Magic Knights need to work harder.
[19:40] King
    And? Where's the Wizard King?
[19:43] King
    Why hasn't he come to my side?
[19:46] Marx
    He's on an important mission.
[19:49] King
    Honestly... There's no way it
    could be more important than me.

[22:59] Chef
    Today, I'd like to make some

[23:02] Chef
    I'm going to be using simple curry
    roux procured at the market.
[23:05] Chef
    Next, you'll need carrots, onions, potatoes,

    some mushrooms, and maybe some tomatoes.
[23:09] Chef
    If you try adding secret ingredients
    like chocolate or coffee,
[23:12] Chef
    you can make an even more fragrant curry.

    Now, then... You take
