[00:06] nar
    It appeared as though humanity
    would be destroyed by the demons.
[00:15] Nar
    But a single mage saved them all.
[00:26] Nar
    He was called the Wizard King,
    and he became a legend.
[00:35] Nar
    Vetto realized his true powers,
    and they were unbelievably immense.
[00:41] Nar
    Asta used the last of his
    strength and faced him.
[00:46] Asta
    Not giving up is my only weapon!
[00:50] Asta
    And I'm never going to give
    up until I fulfill my wish!
[00:54] Asta
    No matter what!
[00:57] Nar
    His teammates were moved
    by his words and actions!
[01:01] Vanessa
    You didn't give up, and that's why I'm here.
[01:04] Finral
    My juniors are working hard.
[01:06] Finral
    That means I have to
    act like a proper senior.
[01:10] Vanessa
    I swear that we won't let you die!
[01:13] All
    Let's go!
[01:23] Vetto
    The power of the spatial magic and
    your aura are gushing all over the place!
[01:31] Vetto
    What?
[01:32] Vetto
    The thread changed his trajectory...
[01:37] Asta
    I'm going to defeat you...
[01:39] Asta
    with this weapon!
SIGN    Despair vs. Hope
[03:17] Asta
    That was actually effective!
[03:20] Vetto
    Now you've done it, human!
[03:28] Asta
    Thanks!
[03:29] Finral
    T-Talk about scary! If we were even a second
    too late, we would've been done for!
[03:34] Vanessa
    Good work, little boy! Keep it up!
[03:37] Asta
    No, wait! I didn't even do anything!
[03:39] Asta
    It's all thanks to you two!
[03:41] Vanessa
    Amazing... These two are this powerful?
[03:52] Vetto
    As I thought, I cannot heal.
[03:55] Vetto
    Did he sever the magic current
    that enables self-healing?
[04:03] Vetto
    The one weapon here that has a chance
    of defeating me... that anti-magic sword.
[04:09] Vetto
    If I only had to deal with that unskilled
    brat, there would be no issue,
[04:13] Vetto
    but those two are supporting him
    and giving him mobility.
[04:18] Vetto
    The spatial magic is troublesome,
    but the real nuisance
[04:22] Vetto
    is that woman's thread magic!
[04:27] Vetto
    Her magic runs through this whole space,
[04:30] Vetto
    interfering whenever and
    wherever she wants.
[04:33] Vetto
    It cannot attack or bind me personally,
[04:37] Vetto
    I can barely see it, and it's too
    thin for me to detect its magic.
[04:42] Vetto
    That means I won't be able
    to read that brat's moves!
[04:52] Vetto
    How amusing.
[04:53] Vetto
    To think that three people
    who are worthless alone
[04:57] Vetto
    could fight me by banding together...
[05:01] Vetto
    It makes me sick.
[05:05] Vetto
    Don't think that you have hope just
    because you've banded together, humans!
[05:10] Finral
    He's coming!
[05:11] Vanessa
    Let's go!
[05:13] Asta
    Got it!
[05:16] Vanessa
    Finral!
[05:17] Finral
    Got it!
[05:25] Asta
    Not yet, damn it!
[05:31] Noelle
    He did it!
[05:32] Finral
    No! That wound's too shallow!
[05:33] Vanessa
    We won't be able to defeat him
    just by scratching him like that!
[05:38] Finral
    This'll make things even
    more dangerous, but...
[05:40] Vanessa
    We need to let the kid get even closer!
[05:45] Asta
    I'm all for getting closer! Bring it on!
[05:53] Gauche
    I'm not imagining it!
[05:56] Gauche
    What the hell is this ridiculously
    huge and creepy magical power?
[06:01] Grey
    This is even more ridiculous than the
    ridiculous magical power I felt earlier!
[06:06] Grey
    We could say that it's now super ridiculous!
[06:08] Gauche
    Shut up! Stop saying stupid crap!
[06:11] Grey
    P-Please don't look at me!
[06:13] Gauche
    More importantly, have your
    powers recovered at all?
[06:17] Grey
    U-Um, not at all yet.
[06:21] Gauche
    I used all my powers against
    that steel ball lardbutt.
[06:23] Gauche
    I can't shoot even a single Reflect Ray now.
[06:27] Gauche
    At this point...
[06:28] Gauche
    Hey, domehead! You're going
    to have to go ahead, and...
[06:31] Charmy
    Munchy, munchy, munchy...
[06:34] Gauche
    Are you seriously still
    eating at a time like this?
[06:36] Charmy
    La!
[06:37] Charmy
    My spell from earlier to
    summon the Sleeping Sheep
SIGN    One Hit
[06:40] Charmy
    eats up my magic, so I'm left starving.
SIGN    Two Hit
SIGN    Mega Hit
[06:43] Charmy
    We can't fight on such empty stomachs!
[06:46] Charmy
    We all need to eat and recover
    as much magic as possible!
[06:51] Gauche
    Well, I guess you have a point.
[06:53] Gauche
    We should also eat and recover some magic.
[06:57] Grey
    O-Okay!
[06:58] Asta
    Take that!
[07:12] Lady
    The Magic Knights haven't lost yet!
[07:14] Guy
    You can do it!
[07:14] Guy
    They're up against a crazy monster,
    but they still might have a chance!
[07:18] Gifso
    That's it! Keep it up!
[07:22] Gifso
    Offense is the best defense!
[07:24] Gifso
    Don't give him time to counterattack!
[07:28] Gifso
    How dare you leave my son and
    grandchildren in so much pain?!
[07:33] Gifso
    Please get revenge! Beat him to a pulp!
[07:35] Yami
    Not bad...
[07:38] Yami
    Those guys never work together,
    but now, by working together,
[07:43] Yami
    they've surpassed their limits.
[07:45] Yami
    However...
[07:51] Yami
    It happened again. He held his
    ground against their attack.
[07:55] Yami
    Could that bastard be...
[08:00] Vanessa
    I can't let my guard down even for a second.
[08:04] Finral
    How long am I supposed to keep
    up with this tense situation?
[08:10] Asta
    Barely missed!
[08:12] Finral
    Get a grip! This is no time for whining!
[08:15] Finral
    Asta is holding his own against that monster!
[08:19] Finral
    Compared to that, this pressure's nothing!
[08:22] Vanessa
    Finral! Do you still have some magic left?
[08:24] Finral
    I-It's going down at an enormous rate,
    but I'm still managing!
[08:29] Finral
    I mean, I spent all this time
    running away and not fighting,
[08:32] Finral
    so it works out in the end.
[08:34] Vanessa
    So it doesn't mean that our movements
    have gotten any slower...
[08:38] Finral
    Huh?
[08:39] Vanessa
    This isn't good.
[08:40] Vanessa
    His timing is starting to match our attacks!
[08:43] Vetto
    I guess it's about time...
[08:58] Noelle
    Asta!
[09:00] Asta
    This is nothing.
[09:02] Asta
    One of his attacks just happened to graze me!
[09:05] Asta
    Let's do it again!
[09:07] Yami
    Hold it, kid!
[09:08] Asta
    Captain Yami?!
[09:10] Yami
    You should be the first one to know that
[09:12] Yami
    he didn't just happen to graze you,
    since you're the one fighting him up close.
[09:18] Yami
    That bastard was purposely
    not attacking as much
[09:22] Yami
    and defending instead to better
    understand all of your habits.
[09:26] Gifso
    Wh-What?
[09:28] Yami
    If you barge in unprepared...
[09:31] Yami
    He's definitely going to get you next time.
[09:42] Yami
    If you barge in unprepared...
[09:44] Yami
    He's definitely going to get you next time.
[09:49] Noelle
    N-No...
[09:52] Vetto
    As expected from the Black Swordsman.
[09:54] Vetto
    That's why I'm saving you for my main dish.
[09:58] Vetto
    But what difference does
    knowing that fact make?
[10:02] Vetto
    This situation is still filled with despair.
[10:06] Vetto
    Insects, this next attack will be your last!
[10:11] Asta
    You don't get to decide that,
    you hairy gorilla!
[10:14] Asta
    You, too, Captain!
    We won't know until we try!
[10:19] Yami
    I know, damn it! Because I'm a
    bazillion times stronger than you!
[10:23] Asta
    Then stop watching and come help us!
[10:27] Yami
    Really? You're going to say that?
[10:29] Yami
    The thing that's bugging me the most?!
[10:32] Yami
    When I'm barely able to keep my blood
    from boiling in this dumbass situation...
[10:41] Yami
    Hey, kid! You need to calm down, too.
[10:45] Yami
    I didn't say you couldn't attack him.
[10:48] Yami
    I'm just saying you can't keep doing
    the same thing. He's going to kill you...
[10:52] Yami
    Unless you guys change!
[10:55] Yami
    Finral!
[10:56] Yami
    Vanessa!
[10:58] Yami
    Kid!
[10:59] Asta
    Yes, sir!
[11:00] Yami
    You know exactly what to do
[11:02] Yami
    in situations like this!
[11:04] Asta
    Right here, right now...
[11:05] All
    We're going to surpass
    our limits even more!
[11:09] Vanessa
    We're surpassing our limits
    and speeding things up!
[11:13] Asta
    Got it!
[11:15] Finral
    Asta!
[11:24] Noelle
    A draw?
[11:29] Asta
    Not yet!
[11:31] Asta
    Let's keep on surpassing our limits!
[11:33] Finral
    Got it!
[11:33] Vanessa
    Of course!
[11:39] Asta
    Take that!
[11:41] Vanessa
    Little boy... when I see you fighting
    with your little body and no magic,
[11:47] Vanessa
    it gives me a courage
    that's frankly unlike me.
[11:50] Vanessa
    I had forgotten. I didn't
    want to remember...
[11:53] Vanessa
    how weak I was back in
    the Forest of Witches.
[11:59] (Flashback) Vanessa
    Hey, did you know that beyond
    this forest is a huge city,
[12:05] (Flashback) Vanessa
    and a lot of people who live
    there aren't even witches?
[12:07] (Flashback) Bird doll
    Vanessa, you've told me
    that hundreds of times.
[12:13] (Flashback) Bird doll
    All the other witches are out playing,
    aren't they? Getting boyfriends and stuff.
[12:18] (Flashback) Bird doll
    Why don't you also escape
    from this cage and go out?
[12:22] (Flashback) Vanessa
    What? I-I could never do that!
[12:25] (Flashback) Vanessa
    I can't defy the Queen of Witches.
[12:31] (Flashback) Bird doll
    C-Come on, cheer up.
[12:34] (Flashback) Bird doll
    Do you want me to talk to the
    Queen of Witches for you?
[12:38] (Flashback) Vanessa
    That's impossible! You're all
    dolls I created with my magic.
[12:42] (Flashback) Vanessa
    If I can't do it, there's no
    way you could do it.
[12:47] (Flashback) Bird doll
    You're right. Besides, this whole
    conversation is just you talking to yourself.
[12:53] (Flashback) Bird doll
    Hopefully you'll be able to make
    some real friends someday.
[12:58] (Flashback) Vanessa
    That's impossible... How could I?
[13:01] (Flashback) Vanessa
    I'm always going to be stuck here.
[13:04] (Flashback) Vanessa
    I'll never be free.
[13:10] Vanessa
    That was my fate.
[13:14] Vanessa
    I thought I didn't have a choice.
[13:16] Vanessa
    But...
[13:24] Vanessa
    One day I realized that this
    wasn't fate. I just lacked courage.
[13:35] Vanessa
    I wasn't wrong for choosing to leave the
    Forest of Witches and become a Black Bull.
[13:42] Vanessa
    Only you have the power to
    move the threads of fate!
[13:47] Vanessa
    Little boy, I'll pull! Just trust me and go!
[13:51] Asta
    I'm counting on you, ma'am!
[13:57] Vetto
    Curse you insects!
[14:01] Finral
    Come on, you two! You're going way too fast!
[14:06] Finral
    I swear... this is the problem
    with hot-blooded people!
[14:09] Finral
    I've always been the guy with no motivation!
[14:12] (Flashback) Finral's Father
    Finral...
[14:16] (Flashback) Finral's father
    What is that fragile and
    stunted spatial magic?
[14:20] (Flashback) Finral's father
    We of the House of Vaude are a family
    of attack spatial magic users that
[14:24] (Flashback) Finral's father
    have been Magic Knights for generations.
[14:27] (Flashback) Finral's father
    You can't fight with magic like that.
[14:31] (Flashback) Finral
    But I don't want to be violent or
    have people be violent toward me.
[14:37] (Flashback) Finral's father
    You weakling!
[14:45] (Flashback) Woman
    Goodness! Look at how much
    you managed to shave off!
[14:49] (Flashback) Woman
    You're so amazing, Langris! A genius!
[14:53] (Flashback) Finral's father
    We'll just have someone
    rebuild what he destroyed.
[14:56] (Flashback) Woman
    You don't have to worry
    about a thing, Langris.
[15:00] (Flashback) Finral's father
    Honestly... Aren't you ashamed to
    be outdone by your younger brother?
[15:12] (Flashback) Finral's father
    To think that the difference in
    your abilities was this great.
[15:17] (Flashback) Woman
    Langris is now the vice
    captain of the Golden Dawn.
[15:22] (Flashback) Finral's father
    And yet you're...
[15:24] (Flashback) Langris
    ...the pack mule for the
    weakest squad, the Black Bulls.
[15:29] (Flashback) Finral's father
    We're appointing Langris as the
    next head of the House of Vaude.
[15:34] (Flashback) Finral's father
    I doubt you have any objections.
[15:37] (Flashback) Finral
    Of course I don't. I was just thinking that'd
    be too much for me to handle myself.
[15:41] (Flashback) Finral
    Langris, take care of our family for me.
[15:44] (Flashback) Langris
    I don't take orders from you, Finral.
[15:48] (Flashback) Langris
    You bring shame upon the Vaude family!
[15:51] (Flashback) Finral
    You've got a point... but I'm
    pretty popular with the ladies.
[15:57] Finral
    I ran away from my parents,
    my brother, my home, and reality.
[16:02] (Flashback) Finral
    Hey there, cuties!
[16:06] (Flashback) Finral
    Let's go have some tea. There's a
    fancy café just around the corner.
[16:11] (Flashback) Finral
    You girls are so cute,
[16:13] (Flashback) Finral
    you're going to make me say things
    even sweeter than those sweets there.
[16:19] Finral
    In the midst of that, Asta, I met you,
    a kid with absolutely no magic.
[16:25] Finral
    It's not that you didn't have enough...
[16:26] Finral
    You had nothing, but you faced yourself,
    kept fighting, and never gave up.
[16:35] Finral
    It's true that how I am now,
    I'll never beat my brother.
[16:39] Finral
    But...
[16:41] (Flashback) Finral
    Say, Yami.
[16:43] (Flashback) Finral
    Why did you let me join your squad?
    I can barely even fight.
[16:48] (Flashback) Yami
    So you can take me everywhere.
[16:50] (Flashback) Finral
    Huh?
[16:52] (Flashback) Finral
    Oh, right... It's not like I can
    defeat any enemies with my magic.
[17:04] (Flashback) Yami
    You've probably got your own
    way of fighting, right?
[17:07] (Flashback) Finral
    Huh?
[17:10] (Flashback) Yami
    I'm saying that battling doesn't
    just mean defeating enemies.
[17:15] Finral
    My own way of fighting...
[17:19] Finral
    I'm not going to become the strongest.
[17:24] Finral
    But I'll make the Black Bulls
    the strongest squad!
[17:28] Finral
    I had abandoned my own fight.
[17:31] Finral
    When I did, there were words
    I couldn't say anymore.
[17:34] Finral
    But now, I can say them!
[17:36] Finral
    Asta! Believe in me!
[17:39] Finral
    Trust me and jump in!
[17:42] Asta
    Sorry, but I already believe
    in you 100 percent!
[17:51] Vetto
    Not bad for insects!
[17:53] Vetto
    But you must be nearing your limits.
[17:56] Vetto
    If even one of you makes the
    smallest mistake, you'll die instantly!
[18:01] Vetto
    How long can you hold up under
    such extreme conditions?
[18:06] Asta
    Shut up, beast guy!
    Until we beat you, of course!
[18:13] Finral
    Asta just told me that he
    believes in me 100 percent.
[18:16] Finral
    I knew that! Otherwise, he could never
    fight using this ridiculous method!
[18:22] Vanessa
    Honestly, how can you trust a drunk woman
[18:26] Vanessa
    and a superficial wimp with your life?
[18:29] Vanessa
    If you believe in us so earnestly...
[18:32] Both
    ...we can never betray that trust!
[18:36] Vetto
    I see. That's some
    magnificent concentration.
[18:40] Vetto
    But how about your magic powers?
[18:43] Vetto
    They'll probably reach their limits soon.
[18:46] Vetto
    The amount of magic we have...
[18:48] Vetto
    That's the difference between
    myself and you insects!
[18:54] Finral
    H-He sure knows how to hit where it hurts.
[18:57] Finral
    My spatial holes are becoming smaller.
[19:00] Vanessa
    My threads are screaming.
[19:04] Vanessa
    I'm almost out of magic, and the
    threads are about to break.
[19:07] Asta
    So what?!
[19:11] Asta
    I'm going to believe in them both and win!
[19:17] Gauche
    It's not just them.
[19:20] ---
    Guess we got here in time.
[19:22] Charmy
    La!
[19:27] Asta
    Gauche! Charmy!
[19:31] Asta
    And...
[19:32] Gauche
    Grey. It sounds like some terrible joke,
    but apparently, this is her true form.
[19:37] All
    What?!
[19:39] Grey
    P-Please don't look at me!
[19:42] Gauche
    We can talk later.
[19:44] Gauche
    Take this! This is all the
    magic I have right now!
[19:49] Gauche
    Mirror Magic: Reflect Refrain!
[19:55] Vetto
    What's the matter, insects?
[19:57] Vetto
    You think you'll actually hit me
    just by attacking more?
[20:00] Gauche
    Nah, I accomplished what I wanted.
[20:02] Gauche

    Annoying little brats!
[20:26] Vetto
    What?
[20:32] Noelle
    Wh-What's going on?
[20:34] Grey
    I-It's my transformation magic!
[20:38] Grey
    I don't have much magic left, so some
    may not look exactly like him...
[20:41] Gauche
    Bring it on!
[20:43] Gauche
    Domehead! Keep hitting
    until you run out of magic!
[20:47] Charmy
    Lai-lai, sir!

    You pesky insects! Despair already!

    Despair?

    Listen carefully. I'm going to use
    my thread to change your direction!
[22:48] Finral
    Then, I'll use my spatial magic
    to move you somewhere else!
[22:52] Finral
    But if we miss even once, you'll be finished!
[22:56] Vanessa
    Are you ready?
[22:57] Asta
    Yeah! All we can do is charge!
[23:00] Asta
    Here we go, Gordon!
[23:05] All

[23:08] Asta
    I believe in you two!

    We can never betray that trust!

    What?!
[23:21] Asta
    I can't tell when Gordon's done saying,
