[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.
[00:37] Julius
    The Eye of the Midnight Sun
    is led by a man named Licht,
[00:40] Julius
    who owns a four-leaf grimoire.
[00:44] Julius
    They are a terrorist group he formed
    six years ago, and they hold
[00:47] Julius
    a grudge against the Clover Kingdom.
[00:50] Julius
    They have about fifty mages who are members.
[00:53] Julius
    Among them are their leader, Licht,
[00:55] Julius
    as well as the three they call the
    Third Eye: Raia, Vetto, and Fana.
[00:59] Julius
    They are much stronger
    than the other members.
[01:02] Julius
    They all hold a strong grudge
    against the Clover Kingdom,
[01:06] Julius
    and they use that to justify
    their terrorist attacks.
[01:09] Julius
    Their endgame is to have an
    independent country of their own.
[01:13] Julius
    That about covers everything, doesn't it?
[01:16] Both
    Yes.
[01:17] Julius
    And this is the most important
    bit of information...
[01:21] Julius
    I've learned that there
    is a traitor among you
[01:25] Julius
    who is working with the
    Eye of the Midnight Sun.
[01:28] Rill
    What?! Among the c-c-captains?!
[01:32] Nozel
    I knew it.
[01:33] Charlotte
    Who could it be?
[01:44] Asta
    Because of you, Captain Fuegoleon was...
[01:47] Asta
    Why?! Why would you betray us?!
SIGN    Three-Leaf Salute
[03:21] Julius
    Now, would you kindly tell me
[03:24] Julius
    which one of these captains is the traitor
    who aided the Eye of the Midnight Sun?
[03:32] Julius
    Tell me their name.
[03:35] Both
    It's...
[03:38] Both
    The captain of the Purple Orcas,
[03:41] Both
    Gueldre Poizot.
[03:45] Gueldre
    Impossible! What are you talking about?
[03:47] Gueldre
    Th-They're terrorists that
    attacked our beloved nation!
[03:51] Gueldre
    You'd actually believe what they're saying?
[03:54] Gueldre
    As if I would ever betray the Clover Kingdom!
[03:58] Charlotte
    I'd rather not say this,
[04:01] Charlotte
    but I've heard a few dark rumors about you.
[04:04] Nozel
    It's not just a few. We've heard many.
[04:08] Rill
    Wh-What? Really?
[04:11] Yami
    Come to think of it, I've heard
    plenty of rumors like that.
[04:16] Charlotte
    Apparently, they weren't all false.
[04:19] Jack
    I knew you were probably up to
    something sketchy, but this is just...
[04:24] Gueldre
    Don't be ridiculous! Th-This
    must be some kind of mistake!
[04:28] Gueldre
    I know! They're trying
    to frame me as a traitor!
[04:32] Marx
    They're only telling me what
    they know, plain and simple.
[04:38] Marx
    Information obtained with
    my memory exchange magic
[04:40] Marx
    is absolute.
[04:42] Yami
    You heard him, Hard Ham.
[04:44] Gueldre
    I'm not hard!
[04:45] Yami
    Just calm down.
[04:48] Yami
    Why not just let the guy with the
    bowl cut look at your memories?
[04:54] Yami
    If you're really a clean ham, that is.
[04:57] Marx
    I agree with everything other
    than what you called me.
[05:00] Marx
    If you're truly innocent, you should.
[05:03] Gueldre
    W-Well, I...
[05:05] Yami
    What? Are you embarrassed?
[05:08] Yami
    You a teenage boy or something?
[05:09] Charlotte
    You're behaving shamefully, Gueldre.
[05:11] Nozel
    You will pay for betraying
    the kingdom with your death.
[05:15] Asta
    So it really is you.
[05:18] Asta
    Because of you, Captain Fuegoleon was...
[05:23] Gueldre
    No! This is some sort of trap!
[05:25] Gueldre
    I'll clear my name!
    This is a strategic retreat!
[05:29] Gueldre
    Transparency Creation Magic:
    Invisible Great Mage!
[05:38] Asta
    He disappeared?
[05:39] Yami
    He's actually trying to get away?
[05:41] Yami
    Well, this just got real.
[05:44] Charlotte
    This isn't good. His transparency magic
[05:46] Charlotte
    makes him vanish for a set amount of time,
    and all spells will go right through him.
[05:50] Yami
    Meaning while he's invisible,
    our attacks won't do a thing.
[05:55] Asta
    What?! But that makes him invincible!
[05:58] Gueldre
    Transparency Creation Magic:
    Invisible Troops.
[06:03] Gueldre
    Hold them back for me!
[06:13] Charlotte
    We can't just let him get away!
[06:22] Rill
    Dorothy, this is no time to be sleeping!
[06:29] Jack
    What are we going to do? We can't
    catch him if we can't see him.
[06:35] William
    Yami.
[06:36] Yami
    There's nothing to worry about.
[06:40] Gueldre
    I'm not going to get caught
    by the likes of you!
[06:44] Gueldre
    My magic is invincible!
[06:46] Gueldre
    I used this power to claw my way up to
    the position of Magic Knights Captain!
[06:50] Gueldre
    Then I accumulated a fortune through
    business and became a wealthy merchant.
[06:55] Gueldre
    I am a great mage who has
    both wealth and power!
[07:03] Gueldre
    I won't let it end here!
[07:08] Gueldre
    I will rise again and again with this
    magic and my business talent!
[07:15] Asta
    You're right there!
[07:17] Gueldre
    Wh-What?!
[07:21] Gueldre
    Y-You shouldn't have been able to see me!
[07:25] Gueldre
    How?! How were you able to attack me?!
[07:29] Yami
    Hard Ham is able to hide his
    magical powers, but not his ki.
[07:35] Yami
    And since the anti-magic sword
    isn't magical, it'll work against him.
[07:40] Yami
    Looks like an anti-magic kid who can read
    ki ended up being his natural enemy.
[07:49] Gueldre
    Don't mock me! I'm a captain!
[07:52] Gueldre
    You magicless peasant!
[08:07] Gueldre
    You look better when you're
    groveling on the ground!
[08:10] Asta
    Not yet!
[08:13] Asta
    I'm not letting you get away!
[08:15] Asta
    The Magic Knights Captains
    that I admire so much
[08:18] Asta
    wouldn't run away over something like this!
[08:20] Gueldre
    Very well. If you want to die that badly...
[08:24] Gueldre
    I shall grant your wish for you!
[08:28] Rill
    Mr. Poizot.
[08:32] Rill
    Hold still a sec.
[08:59] Rill
    Picture Magic: Spring of Restriction.
[09:04] Rill
    Ah, yes, Mr. Poizot, you're
    a picture-perfect fellow.
[09:09] Rill
    I think I'll call this...
[09:10] Rill
    The Drowning Captain.
[09:12] Rill
    What do you think?
[09:14] Asta
    What is this magic?
[09:18] Nozel
    Rill, how dare you go easy on him?
[09:22] Rill
    Well, I mean, if I hadn't done that,
[09:25] Rill
    this building would've been destroyed.
[09:28] Nozel
    His magic allows all magic
    to pass through him.
[09:31] Nozel
    In that case, we can simply
    attack using physical objects.
[09:35] Nozel
    We'll just have some commoners
    rebuild the building.
[09:40] Jack
    I lost the chance to let loose on a captain.
[09:44] Jack
    The guy resembles a ham exactly,
    so he would've been perfect to slice up.
[09:48] Yami
    We're Magic Knight Captains.
    We can't just sit around and space out.
[09:53] Yami
    We have to at least strike a pose.
[09:57] Yami
    Are you still asleep?!
[09:59] Yami
    Actually, you still managed to keep up...
[10:01] Yami
    You sure are reliable for
    someone who's always asleep!
[10:04] Charlotte
    Running away, even though
    you're a man. How pathetic.
[10:09] Charlotte
    Even if you weren't a traitor,
    you'd still be a failure as a captain.
[10:12] Charlotte
    Wh-Why is Yami only paying
    attention to Dorothy?
[10:16] Charlotte
    Does he like women like her?
[10:18] William
    Friends, I believe that's enough.
[10:22] William
    Someone may be controlling him with magic.
[10:25] Julius
    Wow, I'm glad I said that
    when everyone was here.
[10:30] Julius
    I can't tone down my magic, after all.
[10:33] Asta
    These people are insane!
[10:36] Asta
    These are the best Magic Knights...
    the best in the country?!
[10:40] Rill
    Hey! You were amazing earlier!
[10:43] Rill
    How did you know where Mr. Poizot was?
[10:45] Rill
    How'd you undo his transparency magic?!
[10:47] Asta
    U-Um...
[10:50] Rill
    Well, whatever. I'm Rill,
    and I'm nineteen! Who are you?
[10:53] Asta
    I-I'm Asta, and I'm fifteen.
    Wait, you're nineteen and a captain?!
[10:57] Rill
    Ah, so you're younger than me!
    Hey, Asta, be my friend!
[11:02] Asta
    Wait, with a captain? Uh...
[11:04] Asta
    Well, sure! Okay!
[11:06] Rill
    Yay! Just between you and me,
[11:08] Rill
    everyone here's way older than me, so it's
    been rough having to tiptoe around them!
[11:13] Asta
    I see! And they're all weirdos, too!
[11:17] Yami
    Hey, you jerks. I can hear you.
[11:19] Yami
    Also, you're the weirdos here.
[11:23] Julius
    Now, then...
[11:24] Julius
    I have some questions for you,
[11:28] Julius
    Gueldre.
[11:36] Julius
    Gueldre, everything you've
    said so far is true?
[11:41] Gueldre
    Yes.
[11:45] Yami
    Man, that's quite the list.
[11:46] Yami
    Abusing his own squad members,
[11:48] Yami
    embezzling funds, selling national
    treasure-class magic items
[11:51] Yami
    on the black market...
[11:52] Yami
    And smuggling dangerous magic
    potions from other countries.
[11:55] Yami
    He's already pitch-black
    before even being a traitor.
[11:58] Yami
    He might be a good fit for the Black Bulls.
[12:02] Yami
    Actually, becoming a burnt-black
    ham sounds better for him.
[12:06] Jack
    What are you even going on about?
[12:08] Charlotte
    So this is why he didn't want
    his memory read with magic.
[12:12] Charlotte
    Most important of all...
    Kidnapping barrier mages.
[12:16] Charlotte
    That's direct cooperation with
    the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
[12:20] Charlotte
    That's solid proof of how they managed
    to infiltrate the royal capital.
[12:24] Nozel
    He was dazzled by rare magic items and
    made a deal with those terrorists.
[12:28] Nozel
    What a fool.
[12:31] Yami
    Well, unfortunately,
    he's always been like that.
[12:35] Marx
    The Eye of the Midnight Sun has probably
    killed the kidnapped barrier mages already.
[12:41] Julius
    This is an unparalleled blunder.
[12:45] Julius
    He was a Magic Knight,
    charged with protecting our citizens,
[12:47] Julius
    yet he sold them out instead.
[12:50] Julius
    In order to keep the citizens
    from growing uneasy,
[12:52] Julius
    we won't make this a public matter.
[12:55] Julius
    But to ensure that this never happens again,
[12:57] Julius
    check all of your squad members to make
    sure no one has ties to the enemy.
[13:02] All
    Yes, sir!
[13:09] Raia
    Well, well...
[13:14] Raia
    I'm a pretty decent actor.
[13:16] Raia
    No one can see through my
    copy transformation magic.
[13:20] Raia
    So which one of them was actually me?
[13:23] Raia
    Now nobody's going to be
    suspicious for a while.
[13:34] Julius
    I'm sorry for making you two stay behind.
[13:39] Julius
    It's sad... being betrayed by
    comrades who fought alongside me.
[13:46] Julius
    I sprinted at full speed to get where I am,
[13:49] Julius
    but as a result, I may have
    made a lot of mistakes.
[13:53] Yami
    If that's the reason you had us stay behind,
[13:56] Yami
    you picked the wrong guys, Julius.
[14:00] Julius
    To tell you the truth,
    when we were interrogating
[14:02] Julius
    the two Eye of the Midnight Sun members,
[14:04] Julius
    they told us one more thing.
[14:06] Julius
    Asta, do you remember the stone
    tablet back at their hideout
[14:09] Julius
    when you were taken by them?
[14:13] Asta
    That thing...
[14:14] Julius
    They call the stones that were
    set into it "magic stones."
[14:19] Julius
    They believe that if they
    collect all of them,
[14:22] Julius
    they will be reborn into their true forms,
[14:24] Julius
    which are linked closely to mana,
    and gain enormous power.
[14:28] Julius
    Apparently they also went after Fuegoleon
[14:30] Julius
    because they wanted the
    magic stone that he had.
[14:35] Yami
    Reborn, eh?
[14:37] Yami
    You sure they didn't just read
    one too many fantasy novels?
[14:40] Julius
    We don't know whether that's true or not,
    but their obsession with it is real.
[14:45] Julius
    We must not let them get the stones.
[14:48] Yami
    Oh, and?
[14:49] Julius
    There are three magic stones left.
[14:52] Julius
    They know the location of one of them.
[14:55] Yami
    Yeah? And where's that?
[14:58] Julius
    In a strong magic region...
[15:00] Julius
    The Underwater Temple.
[15:02] Asta
    A... strong magic region?
[15:05] Asta
    What's that?
[15:07] Yami
    I'm pretty sure you don't
    need this head anymore.
[15:09] Asta
    Stop! I won't say any more! Please spare me!
[15:09] Yami
    Perfect. Let me crush it for you.
[15:13] Julius
    Strong magic regions are, as the name
    suggests, regions with strong magic,
[15:17] Julius
    where all sorts of magical phenomena
    occur to prevent people from entering.
[15:22] Julius
    Of all the regions with strong magic,
    the Underwater Temple
[15:25] Julius
    is said to be especially dangerous.
[15:27] Julius
    The dungeon you recently
    conquered could be considered
[15:30] Julius
    a beginner's course in comparison.
[15:33] Asta
    There's a place that's even
    more amazing than that?
[15:37] Yami
    So you want us to get there before
    the Eye of the Midnight Sun does
[15:41] Yami
    and snatch the magic stone or whatever?
[15:44] Julius
    That's right.
[15:45] Julius
    This is an important mission.
    The best squad for the job
[15:47] Julius
    is the one with lots of members who aren't
    restricted by familial or social status...
[15:51] Julius
    Which means your Black Bulls, Yami.
[15:55] Julius
    There may still be traitors
    among the Magic Knights.
[16:00] Julius
    Will you do it?
[16:02] Yami
    You're the Wizard King. If that's
    what you think, just give the order.
[16:07] Yami
    As a captain, you're definitely right that
    I don't have anything holding me back.
[16:17] (Flashback) villager 1
    I hear he's not from this kingdom.
[16:20] (Flashback) villager 2
    Apparently he's a castaway from some foreign
    country who lives on the coast by himself.
[16:25] (Flashback) Villager 3
    He looks kinda dangerous.
[16:27] (Flashback) Villager 4
    I wish he'd just leave the country.
[16:38] (Flashback) Guy 1
    You can't be serious! Why does a
    foreigner like him get a grimoire?
[16:42] (Flashback) Guy 2
    I bet his magic's worthless.
[16:44] (Flashback) Guy 3
    Let's get rid of him with our magic later.
[16:51] (Flashback) Guy
    What's that magic?
[16:53] (Flashback) Guy
    Scary...
[16:55] (Flashback) Guy
    How creepy.
[17:00] Yami
    Yeah... Just because I got a grimoire, that
    doesn't change the fact that I'm a foreigner.
[17:06] Yami
    I don't have anything tying me down,
    but that also means I'll always be alone.
[17:10] Yami
    Or so I thought...
[17:13] (Flashback) Julius
    Wow! That's dark magic, isn't it?!
[17:19] (Flashback) Julius
    That's amazing! I've never seen that before!
[17:21] (Flashback) Julius
    Hey, hey, hey! Let me
    get a better look at it!
[17:24] (Flashback) Yami
    No. Who the heck are you, old man?
[17:26] (Flashback) Julius
    Old...? Oh, but I'm not suspicious at all!
[17:30] (Flashback) Julius
    I'm just a Magic Knights Captain who
    was wandering around in disguise.
[17:34] (Flashback) Yami
    What's a Magic Knight?
[17:35] (Flashback) Julius
    Huh? You don't know?!
[17:37] (Flashback) Julius
    Hmm...
[17:42] (Flashback) Julius
    Well, why not come see for yourself?
[17:44] (Flashback) Julius
    I'm sure you've got potential.
[17:46] (Flashback) Yami
    Nope.
[17:47] (Flashback) Julius
    Oh, come on! Don't be like that!
[17:49] (Flashback) Yami
    Nope.
[17:50] (Flashback) Julius
    I'll treat you to dinner.
[17:51] (Flashback) Yami
    Okay, I'll go.
[17:52] (Flashback) Julius
    I see. I guess that's not enough...
[17:54] (Flashback) Julius
    Wait. You'll come?
[17:56] (Flashback) Yami
    I'll go if you buy me dinner.
    I'll definitely go.
[18:04] (Flashback) Julius
    You sure are interesting!
[18:07] Yami
    I guess I've been stuck with you ever since.
[18:20] Yami
    I'm just going to use my power
    to prove it, that's all.
[18:23] Yami
    To prove that you've made no mistakes.
[18:27] Julius
    Yami's actually saluting.
[18:30] Julius
    I'm counting on you, Yami.
[18:32] Julius
    And you, Asta...
[18:33] Asta
    Y-Yes, sir!
[18:36] Julius
    It's a strange coincidence
    that you joined Yami's squad.
[18:40] Julius
    Strong magic regions have
    strong mana force fields
[18:42] Julius
    around them that prevent
    outsiders from getting in.
[18:45] Julius
    I doubt anyone would be able to
    get in without your anti-magic.
[18:49] Julius
    And your experience fighting
    with the Eye of the Midnight Sun
[18:52] Julius
    is bound to be very useful.
[18:54] Julius
    I'm counting on you.
[18:56] Asta
    Yes, sir!
[19:01] Asta
    I got too excited and
    knocked the air out of myself!
[19:03] Yami
    I've never seen someone
    self-destruct from saluting.
[19:07] Julius
    I can definitely tell that you chose him,
    considering how interesting he is.
[19:12] Yami
    You were stiff as a board back there.
[19:14] Yami
    I guess clowns can get nervous, too.
[19:16] Asta
    Who are you calling a clown, sir?
[19:19] Asta
    It's just... I've never had someone who I
    thought was amazing, like the Wizard King,
[19:24] Asta
    expect anything from me before.
[19:27] (Flashback) Kid
    Joining the Magic Knights when
    you can't even use magic?
[19:31] (Flashback) Kid
    There's no way!
[19:33] Asta
    Actually, no one's ever really expected
    anything from me to begin with.
[19:38] Asta
    Ouch!
[19:40] Yami
    I let you join the Black Bulls
    because I thought you could do it.
[19:44] Yami
    Work your butt off.
[19:49] Asta
    Yes, sir!
[19:52] All
    All right!
[19:56] Magna
    The beach!
[19:58] Magna
    Men bring to mind the beach!
    The beach brings to mind men!
[20:00] Magna
    I'm getting all excited for no good reason!
[20:02] Asta
    Yeah! Come to think of it, I've
    never even seen the ocean before!
[20:06] Magna
    I haven't either, Shrimpsta!
[20:08] Both
    Beach! Beach! Beach! Beach! Beach! Beach!
[20:10] Vanessa
    There's nothing better than enjoying
    a cold one under the blazing sun!
[20:15] Finral
    Shake, shake, let's shake!
[20:17] Finral
    I'll make some original drinks and flirt
    with some hotties in swimsuits on the beach!
[20:22] Noelle
    S-Swimsuits?!
[20:23] Noelle
    Does that mean...
[20:24] Noelle
    If I go to the beach, I-I-I-I'll
    have to wear a swimsuit, too?!
[20:31] Charmy
    Mr. Shrimp, Mr. Crab, and all the
    many other varieties of seafood,
[20:34] Charmy
    I can't wait to grill you
    all up on the beach...
[20:37] Gordon
    I hope we all get to put sunscreen
    on each other at the beach.
[20:41] Gauche
    Captain!
[20:43] Gauche
    Captain, what should I get for Marie?
[20:46] Luck
    Hey, sharks are strong, right?
[20:48] Yami
    I hope the sharks eat you both.
[20:50] Noelle
    S-Swimsuit... Swimsuit...
[20:53] Vanessa
    If you don't have one,
    you can borrow one of mine.
[20:57] Asta
    Beach! Beach! Bea—
[20:59] Yami
    Shut up!
[21:05] Yami
    We're not going for leisure!
    We're going for work!
[21:09] All
    Yes, sir...
[21:11] Asta
    The Underwater Temple, huh?
[21:13] Asta
    I wonder what it's like...

    Game Tournament.
[22:59] Asta
    This is so cool!
[23:02] Asta
    To think your magic can let us play games
    like this... You're amazing, Mr. Bowlcut!
[23:07] Marx
    This is called memory amusement magic,
[23:09] Marx
    and it allows you to battle with characters
[23:11] Marx
    you've created from your memory.
[23:13] Marx
    And my name is Marx—
[23:15] Asta
    Whoa! The captain was super
    strong when he was young!
[23:18] Julius
    How nostalgic. It's Yami
    when I first met him.
[23:21] Yami
    You're no match for me, kid.
[23:23] Asta
    Not yet! I'm not done yet!
[23:25] Asta
    Go right! Right! Counterattack!
[23:27] Asta
    Now left!
[23:30] Yami
    You bastard...
[23:31] Yami
    Why don't we have a real battle
    instead of one in a game?
[23:32] Asta
    I'll die!
[23:34] Asta
    It'll seriously be game over!
[23:39] Noelle
    Wh-What should I do? If we're going
    to the beach, I'll need a swimsuit.
[23:42] Noelle
    I need to buy a new one!
[23:44] Noelle
    I wonder what kind Asta likes...
