[00:06] Nar
    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.
[00:41] Asta
    Granny! Get a grip!
[00:49] Gauche
    Don't you dare die, you old hag!
[00:53] Gauche
    You're going to make Marie sad if you die!
[00:58] Gauche
    I wouldn't like it very much, either!
[01:02] Theresa
    T-Take care of the children for me...
[01:07] Theresa
    In any battlefield... the victims
    were... always the weak.
[01:14] Theresa
    It was always the innocent children.
[01:18] Theresa
    It's because I wanted to protect the children
[01:22] Theresa
    that I left the battlefield
    and became a sister.
[01:28] Asta
    Granny!
[01:29] Licht
    What are you talking about?
[01:32] Licht
    All of you were born sinners.
[01:37] Asta
    What?!
[01:44] Licht
    You poor thing... Sally, look at
    how much they've hurt you.
[01:50] Sally
    Master Licht...
[01:52] Licht
    Rest, my child.
[01:55] Licht
    Valtos.
SIGN    Yes, sir.
[02:03] Sally
    See you later, Asta.
[02:06] Sally
    You belong to me.
[02:09] Asta
    I never want to see her again!
SIGN    Forgive me, my lord. All this because I let her go alone...
SIGN    I never imagined all of this would happen.
[02:20] licht
    There's no need for you to feel responsible.
[02:23] Licht
    I'm sure they used some underhanded methods.
[02:28] Asta
    Who are you calling underhanded?!
[02:30] Asta
    Look at what you did to all
    those innocent children!
[02:34] Licht
    She mentioned earlier that the victims
    on the battlefield are always the weak.
[02:40] Licht
    That is incorrect.
[02:42] Licht
    The victims are the strong.
[02:45] Licht
    Envied, feared, discriminated
    against, persecuted, and...
[02:52] Licht
    stolen from.
[02:54] Asta
    What is he talking about?
[02:57] Licht
    That is why we will not
    forgive the Clover Kingdom.
[03:02] Licht
    This time, we will destroy you
    and create our own kingdom.
[03:08] Asta
    What the hell are you even talking about?!
[03:11] Asta
    You're the ones who attacked first, you jerk!
[03:19] Licht
    Shut your filthy mouth.
[03:23] Licht
    You're an eyesore.
[03:24] Licht
    Why does someone like you have that grimoire?
[03:29] Asta
    Grimoire?
[03:30] Asta
    Damn it... I can't see his attacks at all!
[03:34] Asta
    They hit me straight-on
    at an incredible speed!
[03:37] Asta
    What do I...
[03:40] Asta
    This is the only way.
[03:41] Asta
    If I use my sword as a shield and charge
    at him, I can avoid a fatal injury!
[03:47] Asta
    I'm not done yet!
[03:49] Licht
    That won't work.
[03:52] Licht
    I'll be taking that grimoire back.
[03:56] Asta
    I'm gonna...
[03:58] Asta
    di—
[04:05] Gauche
    Seriously?
[04:08] Asta
    Captain Yami! What are you doing here?
[04:14] Yami
    Why am I here? Well, obviously...
[04:18] Yami
    I'm a little lost. Give me
    some directions, damn it.
SIGN    Light Magic vs. Dark Magic
[05:56] Asta
    Captain, you were lost?!
[06:00] Yami
    Of course not, you moron.
[06:03] Yami
    I was joking, dumbass.
[06:05] Asta
    What?!
[06:07] Yami
    We're Magic Knights. Of course
    we're going to show up.
[06:12] Yami
    Everyone back at the base was useless,
    so I decided to come myself.
[06:18] Yami
    I'll kill them all later.
[06:20] Asta
    What the heck are they doing when
    we're in this much trouble?!
[06:23] Finral
    He dragged me out of bed,
    and now we're in this mess!
[06:27] Yami
    By the way, didn't I tell
    you to take the day off?
[06:31] Yami
    Want me to give you a permanent vacation?
[06:35] Asta
    Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[06:39] Yami
    So, what's his deal?
[06:42] Asta
    Apparently he's the leader of
    the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
[06:44] Finral
    Th-The Eye of the Midnight Sun?!
[06:47] Yami
    Oh?
[06:48] Yami
    I thought he'd be some big, burly guy
    who could eat a cow in a single gulp,
[06:54] Yami
    but he's just a scrawny-ass beanpole.
[06:56] Finral
    Um, I'm pretty sure muscles
    don't really matter.
[07:00] Finral
    What's with that guy's creepy,
    infinite amount of magic?!
[07:04] Finral
    Not to mention, he uses light magic?
[07:06] Finral
    That's a super rare magic
    that only a few people
[07:08] Finral
    throughout the history of the
    Clover Kingdom have ever used!
[07:11] Finral
    Without a doubt, he's super
    dangerous! I wanna go home!
SIGN    That's the Black Bulls' captain.
SIGN    Shall I summon the Third Eye?
[07:22] Licht
    There's no need.
[07:23] Licht
    I've always wanted to fight him,
    since he uses dark magic.
[07:31] Asta
    Finral, please get the kids and
    everyone else back to town.
[07:33] Finral
    Sure, leave it to me!
[07:35] Finral
    What are you going to do?
[07:39] Asta
    I can still fight!
[07:42] Asta
    I finally get a chance to see Captain Yami
    in action! There's no way I'm leaving!
[07:48] finral
    Gauche and, uh... you there! Can you walk?
[07:51] Gauche
    More importantly, get to
    the old hag! Hurry up!
[07:53] Finral
    Got it!
[07:55] Finral
    I've been around longer than you, y'know...
[07:59] Finral
    All right, Yami. I'm leaving the rest to you.
[08:02] Yami
    Hey. You better come back.
[08:05] Finral
    Gulp...
[08:06] Finral
    I was planning to just
    stay out of harm's way.
[08:09] Finral
    You know, I think I'm running low on magic...
[08:14] Finral
    Like, for real!
[08:15] Yami
    What do you mean? I'm for real, too.
[08:19] Finral
    Of course you are...
[08:23] Finral
    Huh?
[08:26] Yami
    The hell do you think
    you're doing to my ride?
[08:29] Finral
    Ride?!
[08:31] Finral
    Yeesh! I don't have enough
    lives to stick around here!
[08:35] Finral
    Well, see you, Yami!
[08:38] Yami
    You better come back, damn it!
[08:40] Asta
    So cool! How'd you stop that?
[08:44] Asta
    What's up with that sword?!
[08:45] Yami
    Shut up, brat.
[08:49] Yami
    This is a weapon called a "katana"
    from my homeland, the Land of the Sun.
[08:53] Yami
    And that was—
[08:54] Yami
    Like I have time to explain all this
    right now. Besides, it's a pain.
[08:58] Yami
    Just watch!
[09:00] Licht
    Light Magic: Light Swords of Conviction.
[09:06] Asta
    Awesome!
[09:08] Licht
    He's boosting his physical abilities
    with reinforcing magic
[09:12] Licht
    and cutting my light magic with
    a sword cloaked in dark magic.
[09:18] Licht
    But that's not all.
[09:22] Licht
    How about this, then?
[09:31] Licht
    So this is the power of the
    great Magic Knight heretic.
[09:35] Yami
    Huh?
[09:36] Yami
    Hey, have I met you somewhere before?
[09:46] Yami
    I'm pretty sure I don't know
    anyone who uses light magic.
[09:54] Yami
    Who the hell are you?
[09:56] Yami
    And what's so fun about all of this?
[10:06] Licht
    Let me tell you a fable.
[10:11] Licht
    Long ago, in a certain village, there lived
    a people with very strong magic.
[10:16] Licht
    They were loved by mana.
[10:21] Licht
    They changed the weather
    and manipulated ley lines.
[10:26] Licht
    They had power to rival the gods.
[10:29] Licht
    The humans from outside the
    village worshipped them as such.
[10:35] Licht
    However, gradually, the humans
    grew to fear their power.
[10:40] Licht
    They envied it and wanted it.
[10:43] Licht
    They tricked them, massacred them,
    and stole their powers.
[10:50] Yami
    What kind of story was that?
[10:53] Yami
    What's that got to do with you?
[10:55] Yami
    Planning to become a bard or something?
[11:01] Yami
    All right, I've got a little story, too.
[11:05] Yami
    In a certain place,
    there was a pure young man.
[11:09] Yami
    His folks were fishermen, and they started
    sending him out to fish from a young age.
[11:16] Yami
    And then he got shipwrecked...
[11:18] (Flashback) Yami
    Augh!
[11:22] (Flashback) Yami
    Seriously?
[11:24] Yami
    ...and washed ashore in a strange country.
[11:28] (Flashback) Guy
    Who the hell is this?
[11:31] (Flashback) Guy2
    He's wearing grass sandals.
[11:33] (Flashback) Guy 3
    You can't be serious!
[11:35] Yami
    Since his race and culture were different,
    he went through some nasty stuff there.
[11:40] Yami
    But...
[11:44] Yami
    He kicked all their asses and
    became the boss of a group.
[11:48] Yami
    The end!
[11:55] Yami
    Well? What'd you think of my response fable?
[11:57] Yami
    Well, it's half of my life, actually.
SIGN    You bastard! You dare mock Master Licht?!
[12:03] Yami
    Shut up! Your face is scary!
[12:06] Yami
    Why are there lines on your face?!
[12:08] Asta
    You're bringing that up now?!
[12:12] Yami
    He got faster.
[12:14] Licht
    As a foreigner, I suppose my
    story had nothing to do with you.
[12:18] Licht
    Would you mind stepping off the stage, then?
[12:25] Asta
    Captain Yami!
[12:28] Licht
    I wonder how long you can
    avoid a fatal blow?
[12:33] Yami
    Are you the guy who took out Fuegoleon?
[12:38] Licht
    I am.
[12:41] Licht
    Although I laid my plans carefully
    and had him walk into a trap.
[12:47] Yami
    Yeah, I figured.
[12:49] Yami
    You'd never take down that King
    of Hardnoses with stuff like this.
[13:48] Yami
    Dark Magic:
[13:50] Yami
    Dark Cloaked
[13:53] Yami
    Lightless Slash!
SIGN    Master Licht!
[13:58] Asta
    A-Amazing... He's so frickin' cool!
[14:03] Yami
    Trap, eh? I'm sure you wouldn't
    have been able to win
[14:06] Yami
    without doing something underhanded.
SIGN    How dare you?!
[14:10] Yami
    This time, come right at me.
[14:13] Yami
    I'll show you the true power
    of a Magic Knight Captain!
[14:27] Yami
    Hey, brat. Were you watching that?
[14:30] Asta
    Y-Yes, sir!
[14:31] Yami
    Good. Now try the same thing.
[14:34] Asta
    Yes, sir!
[14:35] Asta
    Wait... Like I could actually do that!
[14:37] Asta
    Of course I can't!
[14:39] Yami
    Oh? Who do you think you're talking to?
[14:42] Asta
    Huh?
[14:43] Yami
    I told you to do it, so do it.
[14:46] Asta
    Ow, ow, ow, that really hurts! Ow, ow, ow!
[14:47] Yami
    That'll make you a bigger man.
[14:52] Valtos
    Not only did he manage to stop
    all of Master Licht's attacks,
[14:55] Valtos
    he even managed to counter.
[14:57] Valtos
    The Black Bulls' captain...
[15:00] Valtos
    Does his strength actually
    rival the Wizard King's?!
[15:05] Licht
    I see... So this is dark magic.
[15:11] Licht
    Light Recovery Magic:
    Healing Light Particles.
[15:18] Asta
    He can use recovery magic, too?
[15:21] Yami
    I haven't seen it in person much,
[15:23] Yami
    but apparently, guys loved by
    mana can use all sorts of magic.
[15:29] Yami
    It's especially rare for an
    attack-type to also be able to heal.
[15:34] Yami
    Anyway, get ready.
[15:37] Asta
    He was actually serious!
[15:39] Asta
    No, really! I can't!
[15:41] Asta
    Not in the middle of fighting!
[15:42] Asta
    Not to mention, I don't have any magic!
[15:45] Yami
    I don't mean the last attack I did.
[15:48] Yami
    I'm saying do the thing before that, idiot.
[15:51] Asta
    And I can't block attacks that I can't see!
[15:55] Yami
    You're hopeless.
[15:57] Yami
    I'll explain it just this once.
    You'll have to pay me 500 yuls later.
[16:00] Asta
    He's charging?!
[16:02] Yami
    The reason I've been able
    to react to the attacks
[16:05] Yami
    is because of something called "ki"
    from back in my homeland.
[16:09] Asta
    Ki? Not mana?
[16:12] Yami
    Yeah.
SIGN    Ki
[16:14] Yami
    People looking at you,
    the sound of their breathing,
[16:17] Yami
    their smell, the motions of their muscles,
[16:20] Yami
    the vague sense that they're there...
[16:22] Yami
    Ki is the blanket term for all of the
    different types of life energy
[16:25] Yami
    the human body emits.
[16:27] Yami
    I read that ki and predicted
    his next move, then made mine.
[16:32] Yami
    You've done that before, haven't you?
[16:36] Asta
    Come to think of it...
[16:40] Yami
    When I do it, I combine it with
    magic and muscle, and fight that way.
[16:47] Yami
    I guess it's like being a magic
    swordsman or something.
[16:50] Asta
    Muscles! So that's why your neck's
    so thick, Captain Yami!
[16:54] Yami
    Like you can talk, kid.
SIGN    He has the nerve to converse during a battle.
SIGN    The insolence...
[17:02] Licht
    He's just full of surprises.
[17:05] Licht
    To think he could keep up
    with this speed, as well.
SIGN    I cannot allow him to trouble you any further, Master Licht.
SIGN    I know this is impertinent of me, but would you allow me to assist you?
[17:17] Licht
    Thank you, Valtos. You're always so helpful.
[17:23] Licht
    In that case, that boy...
    Would you capture him?
[17:28] Licht
    You may injure him slightly if need be.
SIGN    An easy task.
[17:38] Asta
    Huh?
[17:41] Asta
    That was close!
[17:43] Yami
    Perfect timing. Practice on that
    scrawny dude with the slanty eyes.
[17:47] Asta
    Huh?! On the scrawny dude
    with the slanty eyes?
[17:50] Asta
    That's too sudden! Of course I can't!
[17:55] Yami
    Where I come from, we've got this saying...
[17:57] Yami
    "A warrior never goes back on his word."
[18:01] Yami
    You said you were going to
    become the Wizard King, didn't you?
[18:06] Yami
    Surpass your limits. Right here, right now.
[18:09] Yami
    There's no other way.
[18:14] Asta
    Yes, sir!
[18:18] Asta
    I don't get it at all, but...
[18:20] Asta
    For starters, concentrate... Concentrate!
SIGN    Someone with no magic like you could never stop my attacks.
[18:34] Asta
    You're there!
[18:38] Asta
    I didn't stop all of it.
[18:39] Yami
    Wrong.
[18:41] Yami
    You can't fool me, kid.
[18:45] Yami
    You just reacted to your ears that time.
[18:48] Yami
    That ain't ki.
[18:50] Yami
    Use all five senses, and sense it
    with your whole body, you moron!
[18:54] Asta
    With my whole body?
[18:56] Yami
    Yeah. You can't just rely
    on your ears or your eyes.
[19:00] Yami
    Visualize something halfway between
    instinct and a prediction.
[19:04] Yami
    If you don't do it right, I'll kill you!
[19:06] Asta
    That's insane.
[19:10] Asta
    But I think I kinda get it.
[19:13] Asta
    Not just my ears, not just my eyes...
[19:17] Asta
    Then... I'm just going to reset everything.
[19:22] Asta
    Concentrate...
[19:30] Asta
    You're there!
SIGN    Wha—
[19:47] Asta
    I did it!
[19:49] Asta
    I did it, Captain Yami!
[19:51] Yami
    Wow, you actually managed to do it?
    Talk about creepy, you weirdo.
[19:56] Asta
    What?!
[20:03] Licht
    Valtos...
[20:06] Licht
    How dare you... harm Valtos?!
[20:12] Licht
    I cannot allow people like
    you to harm my comrades
[20:16] Licht
    ever again!
[20:20] Asta
    What's your deal? You're the
    ones who started this!
[20:26] Licht
    The path this spell traces
    resembles the motions of a whip.
[20:32] Licht
    Can you predict its movements?
[20:38] Licht
    It's said that whips were used to
    punish criminals, once upon a time.
[20:44] Licht
    That makes it a perfect fit for you two!
[20:48] Licht
    Light Creation Magic: Light Whip of Judgment!
[20:59] Licht
    It's useless to struggle!
[21:05] Asta
    The cave!
[21:08] Yami
    That nutcase has gone ballistic!
[21:39] Licht
    Oh, dear... I held back most of my magic,
[21:42] Licht
    but it's all really too fragile...
[21:45] Licht
    Both this world and you fools.
SIGN    You're amazing, Master Licht! Your strength is practically divine!
SIGN    If you felt like it, Master Licht, the Magic Knights would be no more than infants!
SIGN    What?!
[23:39] Yami
    The leader of the Eye of the
    Midnight Sun... Licht, was it?
[23:42] Yami
    Talk about a huge forehead.
[23:44] Yami
    I guess you'd expect that
    from a light magic user.

[23:50] Yami
    Going beyond my limits is my magic!
