    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
    In search of the magic stone, Asta and the
    others arrived at the Underwater Temple,
[00:38] Nar
    where they were forced to participate in High
    Priest Gifso's game, the Temple Battle Royale.
[00:45] Gifso
    According to your ranking system,
[00:47] Gifso
    my temple mages would be more
    powerful than intermediate knights!
[00:54] Gifso
    Wh-Wh-Wh-What?!
[00:58] Magna
    Don't think I'm gonna get discouraged
    just because I'm surrounded by water.
[01:02] Nar
    Magna and Luck also participated in the game,
    hoping to get the magic stone.
[01:07] Luck
    Ya snooze, ya lose, Magna!
[01:10] Luck
    Lightning Magic: Thunderbolt Destruction!
[01:18] Shark Mage
    Well, well, aren't you lively?
[01:21] Gifso
    My son is the strongest mage
    of the Underwater Temple!
[01:25] Luck
    He's strong...
[01:27] Luck
    No doubt about it... He's definitely
    the strongest one here.
[01:30] Shark mage
    You two should come at me at once.
[01:32] Shark mage
    I'd rather not hurt you
    any more than I need to.
[01:36] Shark mage
    Water Creation Magic: Sea God's Hammer!
[01:39] Magna
    You ain't ending anyone, you bastard!
[01:42] Luck
    I'm not done having fun yet!
[01:50] Nar
    The one who appeared
    before Magna and Luck
[01:52] Nar
    was one of the Eye of the
    Midnight Sun's top brass, Vetto.
[01:55] Vetto
    Looks like you're having fun.
[01:59] Vetto
    Why don't you let us join in?
SIGN    The Pointlessly Direct Fireball
    and the Wild Lightning
[03:41] (Flashback) Mimosa
    Oh, it's a full moon tonight.
[03:51] Mimosa
    I wonder if Asta is looking up
    at the same moon right now.
[03:57] Mimosa
    Oh, silly me!
[04:07] (Flashback) Sekke
    Bah-ha? I guess I fell asleep—
[04:13] (Flashback) Sekke
    Bah-ha?!
[04:24] (Flashback) Vetto
    Hmph. Not even good for a warm-up.
[04:28] (Flashback) Vetto
    You're just a pack of mice.
[04:31] (Flashback) Vetto
    Let's go.
[04:32] (Flashback) All
    Yes, sir.
[04:53] (Flashback) Sekke
    Bah-ha...
[04:54] (Flashback) Sekke
    I know we were all on vacation, but there
    were a number of senior Magic Knights here!
[04:59] (Flashback) Sekke
    And they were all defeated by one guy...
[05:05] (Flashback) Sekke
    What were the Magic Knights we
    believed in so much all about, then?
[05:10] (Flashback) Sekke
    That thing wasn't human.
[05:13] (Flashback) Sekke
    That was...
[05:14] (Flashback) Sekke
    a beast!
[05:20] Magna
    Where'd this macho dude suddenly come from?
[05:23] Magna
    He looks pretty hardcore.
[05:24] Luck
    Aw, that shark guy was my prey.
[05:29] Luck
    All I know is... This guy's magic
    power is greater than Captain Yami's.
[05:35] Shark mage
    You made it through
    the rough ocean currents
[05:38] Shark mage
    and then forced your way in here...
[05:41] Shark mage
    That's some incredible magic, all right.
[05:45] Vetto
    Oh? I guess you can still move.
[05:47] Shark mage
    Ow...
[05:49] Shark mage
    I'm pretty sure you're not a Magic Knight.
[05:53] Shark mage
    What brings you to the Underwater Temple?
[05:56] Vetto
    We're after the same thing as those
    two over there, the magic stone.
[06:01] Gio
    I see. But it's not like I'm
    just going to hand it over.
[06:06] Vetto
    Oh, I don't expect you to just hand it over.
[06:10] Vetto
    We're going to lay waste to everyone here,
    make you despair, and seize it!
[06:14] Gio
    What are you...
[06:16] Vetto
    Scatter and spread despair!
[06:19] All
    Yes, sir!
[06:23] Gio
    Well, you're all rather rude, abrupt guests.
[06:26] Gio
    Could you head on home now?
[06:28] Vetto
    Hey, you.
[06:29] Gio
    That's also a pretty rude
    way to address someone.
[06:32] Vetto
    If you want to get your way,
[06:34] Vetto
    do something about it,
    and hit me with all your magic.
[06:38] Gio
    Looks like you're completely
    underestimating me.
[06:42] Gio
    I may not look like it, but I am the
    strongest in the Underwater Temple.
[06:46] Vetto
    Enough talk! Say it with your magic!
[06:50] Gio
    Well, if you insist...
[06:53] Gio
    Water Creation Magic: Sea God's Hammer!
[07:04] Vetto
    Beast Magic: Rhinoceros Armor.
[07:09] Gio
    It didn't even faze him.
[07:15] Vetto
    That's not a bad spell, for a mouse.
[07:18] Vetto
    Let me give you a reward.
[07:19] Gio
    A reward?
[07:20] Vetto
    Yes, a reward called despair.
[07:25] Vetto
    This world is all about the
    survival of the fittest.
[07:27] Vetto
    The strongest beasts survive, and the
    weak vermin live only to become prey!
[07:31] Vetto
    Beast Magic: Bear Claw!
[07:47] Vetto
    Did you get a good feel for how
    vastly different our powers are?
[07:53] Vetto
    You insects aren't even
    allowed to hold on to hope.
[08:05] Gifso
    I-Impossible...
[08:09] Gifso
    The temple's greatest warrior, Gio,
    is being defeated so easily.
[08:14] Gifso
    I've never seen anything like this.
[08:17] Yami
    Hey, gramps. Playtime's over.
    Hurry up and get me in there.
[08:23] Gifso
    Well, if you insist...
    But who in the world is this man?
[08:29] Yami
    He's one of the leaders of a nasty terror
    group called the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
[08:33] Gifso
    The Eye of the Midnight Sun?
[08:36] Yami
    I don't have time to explain.
    We're short on time, so hurry it up.
[08:40] Gifso
    Sadly, I can't.
[08:43] Gifso
    We can't leave here until the game is over.
[08:46] Gifso
    I can't even undo the spell.
    Those are the rules of my magic.
[08:52] Yami
    I see.
[08:54] Gifso
    What are you...
[08:55] Yami
    Then I'll just let myself out.
[08:57] Gifso
    Say what?
[08:59] Yami
    Dark Magic: Lightless Slash!
[09:08] Gifso
    Wh-What in the world?!
[09:10] Yami
    Tch.
[09:12] Yami
    This is...
[09:13] Abari
    Spatial Magic: Different Dimension Sphere.
[09:18] Abari
    Once you're trapped in my spatial magic,
[09:21] Abari
    no matter who you are,
    you won't be able to escape.
[09:25] Vetto
    Black, foreign swordsman...
[09:28] Vetto
    The mana tells me you're here.
[09:32] Vetto
    Stay there and watch for a while.
[09:35] Vetto
    You're going to be my main dish...
[09:38] Vetto
    After I season you with despair,
    as you watch all of your friends die!
[09:42] Gifso
    If he gets out, the temple's done for.
[09:47] Yami
    Hey, gramps.
[09:48] Gifso
    Wh-What?
[09:50] Yami
    Can you make it so they hear us out there?
[09:53] Gifso
    Huh? S-Sure...
[09:55] Gifso
    But what are you going to do?
[09:57] Yami
    Testing, testing...
[10:01] Grey
    That's the captain...
[10:02] Yami
    Hey, you dumbasses, listen up.
[10:06] Vanessa
    Captain! I beat one!
[10:08] Yami
    Someone really dangerous
    just crashed the game.
[10:11] Yami
    He's one of the leaders of
    the Eye of the Midnight Sun,
[10:14] Yami
    and a beast of a man strong enough to go
    head-to-head with a Magic Knight Captain.
[10:21] Asta
    It's him...
[10:24] Yami
    Also, three of his underlings
    are over there, too.
[10:26] Charmy
    Hurry up and hand over
    that yummy-looking food...
[10:30] Yami
    Here's the problem... Due to reasons,
    I can't go over there.
[10:33] Finral
    What?! What do you mean, "reasons"?!
[10:36] Yami
    Meaning you guys gotta
    do something about him.
[10:38] Finral
    You can't be serious!
[10:39] Yami
    Listen up.
[10:40] Yami
    All of you, surpass your limits,
    right here, right now.
[10:47] Yami
    If you die, I'll kill you.
[10:49] Yami
    That's all.
[10:49] Yami
    Live...
[10:51] Finral
    He's insane.
[10:53] Gifso
    I never thought the game
    could get so exciting.
[10:58] Gifso
    It's a game that'll determine the fate
    of the Underwater Temple, blast it!
[11:04] Gifso
    The game rules have changed!
[11:06] Gifso
    No time limit.
[11:09] Gifso
    To clear the game, defeat the
    Eye of the Midnight Sun's team.
[11:13] Gifso
    Those who contribute to clearing the game
[11:16] Gifso
    will get any wish that's
    within my power to grant!
[11:23] Asta
    There's an absolute monster here...
[11:30] Asta
    Damn it.
[11:31] Asta
    I'm scared, but...
[11:33] Asta
    That makes him worth fighting even more!
[11:37] Asta
    I'll do this... I'm gonna do this, damn it!
[11:41] Kiato
    Asta...
[11:44] Kiato
    I guess we'll have to put
    our match on hold.
[11:45] Asta
    Kiato...
[11:50] Asta
    All right, let's go!
[11:51] Kiato
    Yeah!
[11:53] Vetto
    Now, then... Who's my next prey?
[11:58] Both
    Not yet...
[12:00] Magna
    Who said you could move on to the next?
[12:05] Luck
    We're still alive, you know.
[12:11] Magna
    After what Mister Yami said,
    I can't just lie here napping.
[12:18] Luck
    Besides...
[12:20] Both
    I'm not...
[12:22] Both
    ...going to break!
[12:25] Vetto
    Excellent.
[12:26] Vetto
    The more stubborn the prey, the better
    it is when they're finally in despair!
[12:49] Magna
    Well, we managed to get back up,
[12:51] Magna
    but how the hell are we supposed
    to fight that monster?
[12:53] Magna
    If he lands even one more decent
    blow on us, we're finished... So...
[12:57] Luck
    Hey, you.
[12:58] Luck
    Hit us with another one of those.
[13:00] Magna
    What?!
[13:01] Luck
    That really fast one.
[13:04] Magna
    Damn it, Luck! What the hell?! Are you stupid?!
[13:06] Magna
    We just barely managed to block that attack,
    and we both still took a ton of damage!
[13:11] Vetto
    Oh? So you're imitating me. Very well.
[13:15] Vetto
    I'll keep giving you despair...
[13:18] Vetto
    until you die!
[13:28] Luck
    Just what I thought! That spell leaves a
    split-second opening right after you attack.
[13:32] Vetto
    So you're already matching my pace.
[13:35] Vetto
    You've got good speed and sharp
    senses, I'll give you that!
[13:39] Luck
    Huh? My Thunderbolt Destruction
    didn't work at all!
[13:43] Vetto
    I'll play with you for a while!
[13:50] Vetto
    You speedy little...
[14:35] Magna
    That battle maniac... Damn it.
[14:41] (Flashback) Luck
    So you're Magna, huh?
[14:42] (Flashback) Luck
    What a weird haircut.
[14:46] (Flashback) Luck
    I'm Luck. Nice to meet you.
[14:47] Magna
    Is this the guy who's called the Smiling
    Combat Fiend and Luck the Cheery Berserker?
[14:53] Magna
    I need to show him who's boss.
[14:56] (Flashback) Magna
    Nice to meet you, too, loser.
[15:01] (Flashback) Magna
    Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
[15:01] (Flashback) Luck
    Wow, what a funny face.
[15:05] Magna
    Ever since I joined the squad, he was an
    annoying pest who messed with me constantly.
[15:11] Magna
    His personality was...
[15:13] Magna
    "This dude's got some serious issues."
[15:18] (Flashback) Magna
    Hot, hot, hot, hot...
[15:20] (Flashback) Luck
    Take that!
[15:22] (Flashback) Magna
    Hot!
[15:24] Magna
    Even on our missions,
    he would do insane things.
[15:27] (Flashback) Luck
    Take that!
[15:28] (Flashback) Magna
    Huh?!
[15:41] (Flashback) Luck
    It's the Crackling Magna Typhoon!
[15:47] Magna
    I had no choice but to admit that
    he has great battle instincts.
[15:52] Magna
    And since that dungeon mission,
    he's gotten even stronger.
[15:57] Magna
    I hate to say it,
    but you're my best friend.
[16:02] Magna
    Damn it...
[16:06] Magna
    Don't...
[16:08] Magna
    Don't you dare leave me behind, you dumbass!
[16:12] Magna
    Flame Creation Magic: Grand Slam!
[16:17] Magna
    I'm gonna crush it over here!
[16:28] Luck
    Nice, Magna!
[16:30] Luck
    Take that!
[16:37] Luck
    When I first met you, I underestimated you.
[16:42] Luck
    A peasant, huh? He looks boring.
[16:46] Luck
    But my instincts warned me...
[16:49] Luck
    They told me, "This guy's gonna
    be dangerous, yet interesting."
[16:55] Luck
    You interested me so much
    that I kept messing with you.
[16:58] (Flashback) Luck
    That pudding you were
    saving sure was delicious.
[17:01] (Flashback) Magna
    That's going to be your last supper!
[17:05] Luck
    You always struck back at
    me with everything you had.
[17:10] Luck
    I just now realized...
[17:12] Luck
    that you're my...
[17:15] Luck
    You're my...
[17:18] Luck
    That you're my very first friend.
[17:22] Luck
    Magna! I bet you've got even more in you!
[17:26] Magna
    Shut up!
[17:37] Luck
    Nice catch, Fireball Gangster!
[17:39] Magna
    Who are you calling a gangster?!
[17:41] Magna
    Get off me, Lightning Boy!
[17:43] Vetto
    That's enough playtime, don't you think?
[17:45] Magna
    Bring it on, you jerk!
[17:47] Luck
    We're just about warmed up, too!
[17:51] Asta
    This way!
[17:53] Kiato
    How can you tell when you
    can't even sense mana?
[17:56] Asta
    I can't sense mana, but I can sense ki.
[17:58] Kiato
    Ki? It's true that I sense a
    strong magical power up ahead.
[18:02] Kiato
    And it's incredibly powerful.
[18:05] Kiato
    I've never felt anything like it before!
[18:08] Kiato
    But as you said, we've got to do this!
[18:11] Asta
    Hey, your ki earlier...
[18:14] Asta
    It was hard to sense your presence.
    How were you doing that?
[18:19] Kiato
    Oh, by dancing, I unconsciously
    put myself into a trance.
[18:24] Asta
    A trance?
[18:26] Kiato
    When I'm in that state, my body moves
    without me even having to think.
[18:30] Kiato
    Then my opponents can't predict my movements.
[18:32] Asta
    I see! So that's actually possible...
[18:35] Asta
    All right!
[18:40] Kiato
    Whatcha doin'?
[18:41] Asta
    Putting myself into a trance.
[18:45] Kiato
    I've got a clear view of that magic now!
[18:47] Kiato
    Flame and lightning magic are fighting!
[18:50] Asta
    Flame and lightning...
    It must be Magna and Luck!
[18:54] Kiato
    Their opponent has huge magic and...
[18:57] Kiato
    What is this?
[18:59] Kiato
    It's like hundreds of raging beasts!
[19:02] Asta
    It must be Vetto! Wait, you can tell all that?
[19:06] Kiato
    My tribe's eyes are good at picking up magic.
[19:10] Kiato
    But if this is who we're up against...
[19:12] Asta
    Nah.
[19:13] Asta
    Those two are crazy, but when it comes
    down to it, they're both super reliable!
[19:19] Asta
    They definitely won't die!
[19:26] Luck
    Ow...
[19:28] Vetto
    Do you finally get it?
[19:30] Vetto
    The weak get eaten, and all
    they have left is despair.
[19:35] Magna
    Despair?
[19:38] Magna
    Like we have time for that, you dumbass!
[19:41] Luck
    Yup...
[19:43] Luck
    If we were in despair...
[19:47] Both
    We'd be too embarrassed to
    act like his superiors again!
[19:58] Luck
    Not yet...
[20:06] Magna
    Not yet...
[20:10] Luck
    We know...
[20:11] Luck
    that if we fight him normally,
    we probably won't stand a chance.
[20:15] Magna
    Not yet...
[20:19] Both
    That's why... not yet!
[20:25] Luck
    That slight opening we have
    right after he attacks...
[20:32] Both
    Right now!
[20:33] Both
    We'll hit him with all the magic we've got!
[20:37] Vetto
    A simultaneous, full-power, body
    and soul attack at close range?!
[20:40] Vetto
    Is this what they were trying to do?
[20:47] Yami
    Magna... Luck...
[20:50] Noelle
    This mana...
[20:53] Vanessa
    This power is insane.

    Crackling Magna Typhoon!
[22:58] Luck
    Hey, everyone! How are you doing?
[23:00] Magna
    We can't hear you! Put a little
    more umph into it, damn it!
[23:03] Luck
    Today, we're going to show you how you can
    do an easy Crackling Magna Typhoon at home.
[23:08] Luck
    First, have a string of lightning ready.
[23:11] Magna
    No one can do that!
[23:12] Luck
    Then, you wrap that lightning
    string around Magna, like this.
[23:15] Magna
    It's electrocuting me!
[23:16] Luck
    Oh, you'll have to get your own Magna.
[23:18] Magna
    They can't do that, damn it!
[23:20] Luck
    Once you wrap the lightning
    string around him,
[23:22] Luck
    you're going to spin him with
    all your strength like a top.
[23:25] Luck
    Just like this! Take that!
[23:27] Luck
    And that's the Crackling Magna Typhoon.
[23:29] Luck
    Easy, right?
[23:30] Magna
    You're the only one who can do this, damn it!
[23:33] Magna
    Save me!
[23:35] Luck
    See you next time!
[23:39] Asta
    I'll never give up, no matter
    how powerful my enemy is!
[23:42] Asta
    Not yet! I'm... We're the Black Bulls!
