[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!

[19:50] 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!

[20:22] 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. [20:54] Asta     Thanks! [21:04] Fana     You keep getting in our way      over and over again. [21:07] Fana     I'll kill you once and for all.
