**[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...
***SIGN*** Petit Clover
**[22:52] All**
Petit Clover!
***SIGN*** Game Tournament
**[22:57] Both**
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...
