[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.
[00:34] Nar
    Vetto cast an ancient curse on Asta's arms.
[00:38] Nar
    The only hope of healing his arms was
[00:41] Nar
    the Queen of Witches,
    who lives in the Witches' Forest.
[00:44] Nar
    But...
[00:45] Domina
    To be blunt, the queen is supreme.
[00:47] Domina
    She's so powerful that even the
    Diamond Kingdom won't try to deal with her.
[00:52] Domina
    Not to mention that it's impossible
    to reason with her.
[00:54] Noelle
    We're going.
[00:56] Noelle
    If there's a clue to healing
     Asta's arms there...
[00:59] Nar
    Meanwhile, Vanessa was
    also visiting her home,
[01:03] Nar
    the Witches' Forest,
    in order to fix Asta's arms.
[01:06] Domina
    There it is!
[01:08] Guys
    Yeah!
[01:09] Nar
    When Asta and the others reached
    the Queen of Witches, they saw...
[01:14] Noelle
    Now get your foot off of her!
[01:16] Asta
    Miz Vanessa is one of us!
[01:19] Witch queen
    You fools.
[01:21] Witch queen
    What could imperfect creatures
    such as yourselves possibly do?
[01:29] Witch queen
    They were much faster than I expected.
[01:32] Witch queen
    The Eye of the Midnight Sun...
SIGN    Battlefield Decision
SIGN    The Eye of the Midnight Sun
[03:08] Noelle
    The Eye of the Midnight Sun?
[03:10] Asta
    Why are they heading here?
[03:12] Finral
    Y-You're not just saying
    that to trick us, are you?
[03:16] Witch queen
    How imperfect.
[03:18] Witch queen
    If I chose to do so, I could end your
    pathetic lives at this very moment.
[03:24] Witch queen
    Why would I need to lie?
[03:35] Finral
    She was at Nean!
[03:37] Asta
    She's from the Third Eye or whatever,
    just like the hairy gorilla
[03:40] Asta
    that did this to my arms!
    She's super bad news!
[03:46] Noelle
    Then she's probably as powerful as Vetto.
[03:49] Noelle
    She could be even more powerful!
[03:51] Finral
    You can't be serious!
    Please tell me you're lying!
[03:56] Witch queen
    It matters not.
[03:57] Witch queen
    I will be more than happy to rid this
    world of any imperfect creatures.
[04:02] Witch queen
    Warn the others.
SIGN    The Eye of the Midnight Sun
    Fana the Hateful
[04:15] Shidan
    The Queen of Witches, who pilfered one
    of the magic stones, lives in that forest.
[04:20] Fana
    The humans that stole Vetto's
    life are also there.
SIGN    The Eye of the Midnight Sun
    Shidan
[04:24] Shidan
    Indeed. They might have realized
    the magic stone is there, as well.
[04:29] Fana
    They're unforgivable. I'll destroy everything
     and take the magic stone.
[04:36] Shidan
    I'm sure Master Licht will be pleased.
[04:39] Shidan
    It seems they are with the queen
    in the middle of the forest.
[04:44] Shidan
    Let us burn them all and make examples
    of them to the rest of the world.
[04:49] Fana
    Flame Spirit Magic: Salamander's Breath.
[05:09] Witch
    Flames!
[05:10] Witch
    We're being attacked!
[05:15] Asta
    The forest...
[05:16] Finral
    S-Such powerful flame magic...
[05:21] Witch queen
    The Flame Spirit, Salamander.
[05:24] Witch queen
    Its form is still not complete,
    and yet it's this powerful...
[05:30] Witch queen
    It's much stronger than I predicted.
[05:33] Witch queen
    My readings were slightly off.
[05:35] Witch queen
    Any time fate veers off-course,
    more deviations follow.
[05:39] Witch queen
    It can't be...
[05:43] Asta
    There are more of them!
[05:46] Domina
    Th-That's...
[05:48] Mariella
    Near the border of the Diamond Kingdom.
[05:51] Fanzell
    Yeah.
[05:53] Witch queen
    As I suspected...
[05:55] Witch queen
    I thought this fate would
    come to pass much later,
[05:58] Witch queen
    but the other force that wishes
    to attack this forest...
[06:03] Witch queen
    The Diamond Kingdom.
[06:09] Noelle
    You can't be serious. They're coming here?
SIGN    One of the Diamond Kingdom's Eight Shining Generals
    Ladros
[06:15] Ladros
    Man... and just as I was relaxing
    in a nice aromatherapy bath.
[06:21] Ladros
    What's with the emergency summons?
[06:24] Mars
    We got word that the
SIGN    One of the Diamond Kingdom's Eight Shining Generals
    Mars
[06:26] Mars
    Eye of the Midnight Sun is going
    to attack the Witches' Forest.
[06:30] Mar
    We have been ordered to take advantage
     of the chaos that will cause
[06:33] Mar
    to capture the Queen of Witches.
[06:36] Ladros
    We could do that easily
    without being so sneaky.
[06:42] Mars
    Orders are orders.
[06:46] Asta
    That really pale guy...
[06:49] Asta
    It's the super strong guy
    we fought in the dungeon!
[06:53] Asta
    Thank goodness... He's alive!
[06:56] Finral
    Should you be happy about that?!
[06:58] Finral
    S-Seriously?! What's going on?
[07:02] Finral
    This was already bad enough,
    but it just keeps getting worse!
[07:05] Finral
    Why does this keep happening lately?!
[07:11] Fanzell
    Is that... Mars?
[07:14] Fanzell
    Then the one next to him must be Ladros.
[07:19] Domina
    Zell...
[07:20] Asta
    Anyway, we have to protect
    the Witches' Forest!
[07:23] Asta
    I'll defeat both the Eye of the
    Midnight Sun and the Diamonds!
[07:27] Noelle
    And how are you going to
    do that with those arms?
[07:31] Asta
    That's right!
[07:33] Noelle
    The whole reason we even came
    here was to fix your arms.
[07:37] Asta
    Right...
[07:39] Asta
    So much is going on that I totally forgot!
[07:42] All
    He's got a point.
[07:43] Asta
    Damn it all!
[07:49] Vanessa
    Captain?
[07:53] Vanessa
    Asta? Wait, what are you doing here?
[07:56] Asta
    Miz Vanessa!
[07:58] Asta
    Thank goodness! You're awake!
[08:01] Noelle
    Vanessa!
[08:02] Finral
    Honestly, you were trying to
    do way too much by yourself.
[08:06] Vanessa
    Noelle... Finral...
[08:09] Vanessa
    You're here, too?
[08:11] Vanessa
    Huh? And some other familiar faces...
[08:14] Vanessa
    Though one appears to have lost his shirt.
[08:16] Fanzell
    Well, you see...
[08:18] Mariella
    That's just his hobby.
[08:20] Fanzell
    No, really, it isn't.
[08:22] Domina
    It's been a while, Vanessa.
[08:24] Domina
    We were also looking for
    a way to cure Asta's arms
[08:28] Domina
    and ended up in the same place as you.
[08:33] Vanessa
    That's right!
[08:36] Vanessa
    Just you wait, Asta.
    I'm going to talk to the queen
[08:39] Vanessa
    and have her fix your arms!
[08:41] Asta
    I decline your offer!
[08:43] Vanessa
    Huh?
[08:44] Asta
    It would be in exchange
    for your freedom, right?
[08:47] Asta
    I refuse to let you do that!
[08:50] Vanessa
    Wha... How can you be so selfish?!
[08:54] Vanessa
    This is the only way, you moron!
[08:56] Asta
    You're the one being
    selfish here, Miz Vanessa!
[09:00] Asta
    How could you sneak back home
    without telling anyone, you drunk?!
[09:04] Vanessa
    Well, what was I supposed to do, you shrimp?!
[09:06] Finral
    U-Uh, calm down, you two...
[09:08] Asta
    I'll figure it out!
[09:09] Vanessa
    And how are you going to do that?!
[09:11] Both
    Shut up!
[09:13] Finral
    Even Asta told me to shut up!
[09:15] Finral
    But I have seniority...
[09:18] Asta
    You don't have to go through all this.
    I still have my last resort!
[09:31] Noelle
    H-Hey, Asta!
[09:33] Fanzell
    H-His eyes look a little crazed, don't they?
[09:36] Mariella
    I have a bad feeling about this.
[09:38] Vanessa
    Wh-What are you trying to do?
[09:40] Asta
    This!
[09:44] Witch Queen
    That sword...
[09:51] Asta
    Ow!
[09:52] All
    Asta!
[09:53] Vanessa
    What are you doing, you moron?!
[09:55] Vanessa
    That curse has sunk deep into your arms!
[09:58] Vanessa
    No matter how crazy you try to get,
[10:00] Vanessa
    you can't always compete
    with the fate you're dealt!
[10:05] Asta
    So you're telling me that
     it's my fate to sacrifice
[10:08] Asta
    one of my friends for my arms to get better?!
[10:12] Asta
    Who the hell's gonna abide by that?!
[10:16] Asta
    I don't care if I have to crush fate itself!
     I'm gonna fight with these arms!
[10:24] (Flashback) Yami
    Huh? It's your fate to stay here?
[10:28] (Flashback) Yami
    Oh, yeah, yeah. Good ol' fate.
[10:32] (Flashback) Yami
    I hate that crap.
[10:34] (Flashback) Yami
    Who the hell's gonna abide by that?
[10:37] (Flashback) Yami
    I'm gonna do what I want, even if it
    means I have to crush fate itself.
[10:42] Vanessa
    He just said the same
    thing Captain Yami did.
[10:48] Asta
    One more time!
[10:50] Vanessa
    You idiot!
[10:52] Vanessa
    That's enough!
[10:54] Vanessa
    Your friends aren't here to be sacrificed!
[10:58] Vanessa
    They're here to win against a fate
    that you can't fight on your own!
[11:03] Vanessa
    I have no intention of sacrificing
    myself for you, either!
[11:08] Vanessa
    After I use the queen to fix your arms,
[11:12] Vanessa
    I'm going to use that anti-magic of yours
[11:14] Vanessa
    to get the hell out of here!
[11:18] Vanessa
    Crap...
[11:19] Asta
    Oh, then you should've just said so.
[11:23] Finral
    Uh, I'm pretty sure you shouldn't
    have said that out loud...
[11:29] Noelle
    Hey, Queenie.
[11:32] Noelle
    If you can actually dispel Asta's curse,
    could you go ahead and do it already?
[11:37] Noelle
    Looks like your forest's in a lot of trouble.
[11:41] noelle
    He wants to save the people
    out there as soon as possible.
[11:45] Noelle
    He's an idiot, but he's strong.
[11:48] Noelle
    I'm sure he'll be useful to you if you heal him!
[11:50] Noelle
    And if he goes,
[11:53] Noelle
    we'll follow.
[11:56] Noelle
    The enemy is immense.
[11:58] Noelle
    Couldn't you use all the manpower
    you can get right now?
[12:03] Noelle
    If you're truly a queen, you should be
    doing whatever's best for your forest!
[12:10] Witch queen
    It's true. We currently lack the strength
    to deal with the impending attackers.
[12:16] Witch queen
    Very well. I shall heal that brat's arms.
[12:20] Witch queen
    I'll even make them sturdier than before.
[12:24] Asta
    Sturdier? Really? Are they gonna be
    huge like Captain Yami's, then?
[12:30] Mariella
    I highly doubt that.
[12:32] Mariella
    Sturdiness isn't necessarily
    equal to how big they are.
[12:35] Asta
    Aw, come on!
[12:38] Mariella
    What am I supposed to do about it?
[12:40] Noelle
    You've got some guts, Noelle!
[12:43] Domina
    Yeah! I've never seen anyone
    talk down to the queen before!
[12:49] Noelle
    I'm royalty myself.
[12:52] Noelle
    My legs are still shaking...
[12:56] Witch queen
    Be merry while you still can.
[12:58] Witch queen
    But in the end, both Vanessa
[13:00] Witch queen
    and that boy's anti-magic
    sword's powers shall be mine.
[13:07] Witch queen
    Blood Recovery Magic:
    Curse-Breaking Blood-Filled Cocoon.
[13:17] Asta
    My arms feel so light! This is awesome!
[13:23] Noelle
    She performed such a powerful
    spell in a mere instant?
[13:27] Noelle
    This is the power of the queen?
[13:30] Asta
    This is great! They're completely better!
[13:35] Asta
    Look! Look, look, look, look!
[13:37] All
    Asta!
[13:37] Asta
    Look, look, look, look!
[13:39] Asta
    Now, when my back itches, I don't
    have to scratch it against a pole!
[13:42] Asta
    And I can pick my nose!
[13:44] Asta
    But what I'm happiest about is that
    I'll be able to work out again!
[13:48] Both
    Asta...
[13:49] Noelle
    He's still an idiot.
[13:52] Asta
    Well, I don't know if they're
    actually sturdier or not,
[13:55] Asta
    but I can feel strength welling up inside me!
[13:59] Asta
    All right! Let's go, guys!
[14:02] All
    Yeah!
[14:10] Asta
    All right! Let's go, guys!
[14:13] All
    Yeah!
[14:15] All
    Or...
[14:16] Noelle
    "Let's go," my ass!
[14:18] Finral
    Do you know how worried we were?!
[14:21] Vanessa
    You crazy moron!
[14:24] Noelle
    You could barely move a second ago!
[14:24] Both
    Take that! And that! And that! And that!
[14:28] Noelle
    Here! Take your stupid robe!
[14:31] Asta
    Thank you so much, guys! And I'm sorry!
[14:36] Asta
    No effect!
[14:38] Finral
    They're so hard!
[14:38] Vanessa
    What the heck? Did she use
    a strengthening spell?!
[14:41] Asta
    No! They're just pure muscle! Hurgh!
[14:46] Fanzell
    Congrats, Asta.
[14:47] Asta
    Yeah! Thank you all for what you did, too!
[14:51] Witch queen
    I've fulfilled my end of the bargain.
[14:54] Witch queen
    Now let us see this so-called power of yours.
[14:58] Asta
    Yeah! Leave this to us!
[15:00] Asta
    Thanks for fixing my arms!
[15:02] Witch queen
    Hmph.
[15:04] Fanzell
    Asta, leave the Diamond forces to us.
[15:09] Fanzell
    Mars and Ladros... I have some
    unfinished business with them.
[15:15] Asta
    All right, Old Man Zell. Don't die.
[15:18] Fanzell
    Yeah.
[15:19] Asta
    And put some clothes on.
[15:21] Fanzell
    Right...
[15:22] Noelle
    You, too!
[15:29] Shidan
    Burn! Burn!
[15:31] Shidan
    Have they given up after a
    single attack by Lady Fana?
[15:33] Shidan
    They're weaker than I thought.
[15:38] Guy
    L-Look!
[15:42] Witch
    They must be the enemies
    you warned us about!
[15:46] Witch 2
    How dare you do this?!
[15:48] Witch 2
    Let's go, Akimo!
[15:49] Akimo
    Yeah! Let's protect the forest!
[15:53] Guys
    Wh-What's that monster?
[16:04] Shidan
    Stay calm.
[16:14] Witch 3
    The queen's golem!
[16:16] Witch 2
    Wh-Who are those guys?
[16:20] Shidan
    The great Third Eye is magnificent!
[16:22] Shidan
    Lady Fana is not only immensely
    powerful, but also beautiful.
[16:26] Shidan
    I'd love to have a shot at her
    if I ever get the chance.
[16:31] Shidan
    But I guess I'll just have to settle
    for these lowly witches today.
[16:37] Shidan
    Attack!
[16:39] All
    Yes, sir!
[16:40] Shidan
    Make sure you capture the lookers alive.
[16:42] Shidan
    These witches possess powerful magic.
    They'll make excellent slaves.
[16:51] Witch
    N-No!
[16:57] Asta
    Are you okay?!
[16:58] Witch
    Huh?
[16:59] Witch
    Eek! I was saved by a man!
[17:03] Witch
    Your muscles are gross!
[17:05] Witch
    Hmph.
[17:06] Asta
    What the heck was that for?!
[17:08] Vanessa
    The witches firmly believe
    that women are superior.
[17:14] Vanessa
    Sorry she acted like that
    after you saved her.
[17:18] Noelle
    I'll put out all the flames.
[17:20] Vanessa
    Thanks, Noelle.
[17:21] Finral
    I'll rescue all the witchies!
[17:24] Vanessa
    I'm counting on you, Finral!
[17:26] Vanessa
    You've got some nerve,
    doing this to the forest.
[17:29] Vanessa
    This place isn't the best,
    but it was still my home.
[17:32] Vanessa
    I'll protect it, no matter what.
[17:34] Vanessa
    Let's go, Asta!
[17:35] Asta
    You got it!
[17:38] Ladros
    Oh, hey. There it is.
[17:41] Ladros
    I can't wait!
SIGN    Diamond Kingdom
    Mohawq
[17:45] Mohawq
    We are prepared to attack at any time.
[17:48] Ladros
    Well, aren't you psyched?
[17:51] Ladros
    But... Tsk, tsk, tsk... Hold your horses.
[17:57] Ladros
    Where's the fun in dealing with the peons?
[18:01] Ladros
    We're going to enjoy whoever's
    left from both sides later on.
[18:06] Mohawq
    Yes, sir!
[18:09] Fanzell
    They're here.
[18:11] Mariella
    Those numbers... Even with all the witches,
     we're still vastly outnumbered.
[18:16] Mariella
    But what's important is how
    you fight. Right, Master?
[18:21] Fanzell
    Yeah.
[18:23] Domina
    Let's all split up.
[18:25] Fanzell
    B-But I swore that I'd protect you.
[18:29] Domina
    Thanks, Zell. But this
    isn't the time for that.
[18:34] Domina
    You were considered a genius strategist,
     so you should already know...
[18:39] Domina
    This is the only way we can win.
[18:42] Fanzell
    All right.
[18:46] Shidan
    So many excellent slave
    ladies to choose from!
[18:51] Witch
    Let us go!
[18:53] Finral
    That bastard! What does he
    think he's doing to my cuties?!
[18:57] Vanessa
    The number of guards he has around him...
     He must be the commander.
[19:03] Asta
    Miz Vanessa!
[19:04] Asta
    Use your threads to blast me up to them!
[19:08] Vanessa
    What? But I won't be able to
    pull you back at that distance!
[19:12] Vanessa
    You'd be fighting in the air
    with nothing to hold you up!
[19:15] Asta
    I'll be fine!
[19:17] Vanessa
    Well, if you're sure... I'll trust you!
[19:23] Guy
    Who the heck is that?
[19:25] Guy
    Fool! He's headed right toward us!
[19:28] Guy
    Take this!
[19:30] Asta
    No, you take this!
[19:35] Guy 2
    That's... the anti-magic brat
    who defeated Lord Vetto!
[19:39] Shidan
    Kill him!
[19:45] Asta
    There!
[19:47] Finral
    He's using the enemies as stepping stones.
[19:50] Vanessa
    I can't believe that boy!
    Then again, I guess I can.
[19:55] Asta
    You guys cause trouble every single time!
[19:58] Shidan
    Wh-What's with this brat?
[20:02] Vanessa
    Now no one...
[20:04] Vanessa
    will be able to stop Asta!
[20:06] Asta
    Quit it already!
[20:10] Asta
    Now's your chance to run!
[20:11] Witch
    Stop bossing me around, you stupid man!
[20:14] Witch 2
    I'm not thanking you!
[20:16] Witch 3
    Let's go!
[20:18] Asta
    Seriously?!
[20:21] Fana
    There you are.
[20:22] Fana
    How dare you kill Vetto?
[20:25] Fana
    I'll kill you!
[20:29] Asta
    Crap! I'm gonna die!
[20:31] Asta
    As if...
[20:32] Asta
    I'd be scared!
[20:53] Finral
    Made it just in time.
