    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
    Thanks to the Queen of Witches,
    both of Asta's arms were healed.
[00:37] Nar
    In return, he fought hard to
    protect the Witches' Forest
[00:40] Nar
    when Fana of the Eye of the Midnight Sun,
[00:42] Nar
    another owner of a third eye,
    suddenly appeared.
[00:54] Asta
    She's got a third eye, too!
[00:58] Noelle
    I'll bet everything
[01:01] Noelle
    on this one attack!
[01:03] Noelle
    Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar!
[01:08] Nar
    Asta and the others were
    helpless against the attacks
[01:10] Nar
    of Fana's Salamander, the fire spirit,
    as it tried to burn down the forest.
[01:14] Nar
    But Noelle used a powerful
    attack with her water magic
[01:17] Nar
    and managed to subdue Salamander.
[01:19] Asta
    All right! Now it's finally time
    for my special move!
[01:24] Nar
    In order to finish it off,
[01:25] Nar
    Asta used Bull Thrust, a special
    move he had just thought up.
[01:29] Vanessa
    Here we go!
[01:35] Asta
    Bull Thrust!
SIGN    Defectors' Atonement
[03:16] Witch queen
    To think that imperfect little
    brat had this much power...
[03:23] Witch queen
    It seems he wasn't all talk.
[03:28] Witch queen
    As for the other army...
[03:39] Ladros
    Who the heck is that guy?
[03:41] Ladros
    He's not a witch, is he?
[03:43] Ladros
    He had the balls to show up
    alone in front of this huge army?
[03:47] Ladros
    Is he stupid?
[03:49] Fanzell
    Mars! Do you know who I am?
[03:52] Ladros
    Wait, is that guy... our old teacher?
[03:59] Fanzell
    Ladros...
[04:00] Ladros
    So I get to torment our old
    teacher with my own hands.
[04:05] Ladros
    Heck yeah!
[04:12] Ladros
    Woo! Guess that's our teacher for you.
[04:15] Fanzell
    It looks like neither of you
    are who you used to be.
[04:21] Fanzell
    Then I shall use my own magic...
[04:25] Fanzell
    to atone for my past!
[04:28] Ladros
    Woo! What a nice breeze.
[04:30] Ladros
    It feels so nice!
[04:32] Fanzell
    For the record, I have to ask...
[04:35] Fanzell
    Do you have any intention of turning back?
[04:38] Ladros
    Oh, come on. That's our line, Teach!
[04:43] Ladros
    So, like... Apparently our
    king is really sick, y'know?
[04:47] Ladros
    And from what we've heard, the queen
    here has lived, like, hundreds of years.
[04:54] Ladros
    So the king wants to know how she does it,
[04:56] Ladros
    even if it means killing
    everyone in this forest.
[05:00] Ladros
    We just happened to hear that
    the Eye of the Midnight Sun was
[05:04] Ladros
    also visiting this forest,
[05:05] Ladros
    so we decided to take
    advantage of the chaos!
[05:11] Ladros
    Taking what you want by force...
    That's how the Diamond Kingdom works.
[05:17] Fanzell
    And that's exactly why I left.
[05:22] Fanzell
    Here I come!
[05:24] Ladros
    Yahoo! I get to embrace our
    teacher with my own two—
[05:30] ---
    Tsk.
[05:34] Mage 1
    He's charging at us despite
    how many of us are here?
[05:37] Mage 1
    Is this guy stupid?
[05:39] Fanzell
    Wind Creation Magic: Emperor of
    Slashing Winds—Winter Wind!
[05:46] Mage 2
    What?
[05:47] Mage 3
    He's fast!
[05:52] Mage 4
    That's... the traitor, Fanzell Kruger!
[05:56] Mage 4
    He was a military commander
    and an instructor for our army.
[05:59] Mage 4
    And he had the nerve to defect!
[06:01] Mage 4
    If we kill him, we'll get a huge reward!
[06:04] Mage 4
    Don't hold back! Kill him!
[06:17] Fanzell
    As I thought, they're not moving.
[06:20] Fanzell
    It must be hard to attack in a place
    where your allies are concentrated.
[06:24] Fanzell
    Particularly for warriors with
    powerful magic like you two.
[06:29] Fanzell
    But there are limits to how
    much I can do by myself.
[06:32] Fanzell
    I'm counting on you two, my little
    honey and my cute little student.
[06:42] Mariella
    I wonder if Master actually
    put some clothes on.
[06:51] Domina
    Yup. I think I might actually be a genius.
[06:56] Mohawq
    Keep calm! Get into Formation Six!
[06:59] Mohawq
    Former commander or not,
[07:00] Mohawq
    if we keep formation and continue
    attacking from a distance,
[07:03] Mohawq
    we'll eventually beat him.
[07:05] Mohawq
    He's only one guy!
[07:08] Mohawq
    What?!
[07:10] Mariella
    Of course he's not alone.
[07:13] Mariella
    "To make a surprise attack, you must
    have three times the enemy's strength."
[07:17] Mariella
    That's what my master taught me.
[07:19] Mage 1
    Reinforcements!
[07:20] Mage 2
    Don't underestimate our strength!
[07:23] Mariella
    Team Two!
[07:32] Mohawq
    They're... trying to drive us into the forest!
[07:40] Mohawq
    This isn't good!
[07:41] Mohawq
    The dense fog and trees
    will ruin our formation.
[07:44] Moahawq
    Change over to Formation Thirteen!
[07:46] Mariella
    Team Four!
[07:49] Mariella
    Team Five!
[07:52] Mohawq
    How are they able to predict
    our moves so easily?!
[07:55] Mariella
    It's because I was in the
    Diamond Kingdom's assassination squad.
[08:01] Mariella
    You guys are too easy.
[08:15] Mariella
    Previously, I killed people who were
    doing everything they could to survive.
[08:37] Mariella
    There might not be anything I can
    do to atone for what I've done.
[08:41] Mariella
    This might just be self-satisfaction, but...
[08:49] Mariella
    I'll put an end to your tyranny.
[08:54] Mohawq
    You traitor!
[08:56] Mariella
    Sure. You can say whatever you want.
[08:58] Mariella
    I won't lose heart again.
[09:02] Mariella
    If I did, the person who saved me
    might get angry with me again.
[09:09] Witch
    That girl's amazing!
[09:11] Witch
    She's able to command us witches so well.
[09:14] Domina
    I know, right? Our little
    Mariella is amazing.
[09:17] Domina
    And as for our next move...
[09:22] Mage
    What are those things?
[09:32] Domina
    They fell for it!
[09:33] Domina
    I used my magic items and skills to
    modify the golems just a tiny bit.
[09:40] Witch
    Amazing! But the modifications
    must've cost a fortune.
[09:44] Domina
    Believe it or not, it only cost me
    3,000 yuls in materials for each!
[09:47] Witch
    That much destructive power
    for a mere 3,000 yuls?!
[09:50] Domina
    Okay, everyone! This is it!
[09:52] Domina
    Time to teach those thugs who
    thrashed our houses a lesson!
[09:56] Domina
    Don't you dare underestimate us witches!
[10:01] Ladros
    Oh, dear... Looks like they set traps
    down there and tried to lure us in.
[10:06] Ladros
    It wouldn't be safe to just charge in there.
[10:09] Ladros
    But on the other hand,
    it looks fun, so here I go! Woo!
[10:13] Ladros
    Let me play, too!
[10:18] Ladros
    Now, then... where are they?
[10:21] Fanzell
    I figured this is what you'd do.
[10:24] Fanzell
    Wind Binding Magic: Emperor of
    Slashing Winds—Whirlwind!
[10:29] Ladros
    Whoopsies! Looks like I've been caught.
[10:33] Ladros
    I'll ask you one more time.
    Any chance of you turning back?
[10:40] Ladros
    Like hell I'm gonna turn back!
[10:42] Ladros
    I wanna kill lots and lots of people!
[10:45] Ladros
    What the hell's wrong with you, Teach?
[10:48] Ladros
    You're the one who raised murderers like us.
[10:51] Ladros
    And now you think you can live
    your life as a good person?
[10:56] Fanzell
    Sorry, but I promised my final student...
[11:01] Fanzell
    and your junior apprentice.
[11:06] Fanzell
    I'm going to live!
[11:08] Fanzell
    I'm done running!
[11:29] (Flashback) Fanzell
    Good. Make sure to sense
    your opponent's mana.
[11:34] (Flashback) Fanzell
    Calm your emotions.
[11:38] (Flashback) Fanzell
    Good. Now concentrate.
[11:40] (Flashback) Fanzell
    Listen up. Your powers
    exist to protect others.
[11:45] (Flashback) Fanzell
    Don't ever forget that.
[11:48] (Flashback) Both
    Yes, sir!
[11:59] Fanzell
    Ladros was an expert in
    physical reinforcement spells.
[12:02] Fanzell
    This probably won't be enough to beat him.
[12:07] Mars
    That's enough!
[12:12] Fanzell
    Mars...
[12:14] Fanzell
    He had the best skills of all my students.
[12:18] Fanzell
    At this point, I don't think
    I can beat him at close range.
[12:23] Fanzell
    Let's have you step back a bit.
[12:25] Fanzell
    Wind Creation Magic: Emperor of
    Slashing Winds—Mountain Wind!
[12:37] Fanzell
    Ladros...
[12:41] Fanzell
    This is my full magic power!
[12:44] Fanzell
    Wind Creation Magic:
    Emperor of Slashing Winds—
[12:50] Fanzell
    Gale!
[12:56] Fanzell
    Ladros was an odd kid who
    didn't have a magic attribute.
[13:02] Ladros
    Teacher...
[13:05] (Flashback) Ladros
    You can become strong even
    without an attribute, right?
[13:08] Fanzell
    He had a complex about that.
[13:13] Fanzell
    But his magic was stronger
    than anyone else's.
[13:17] Fanzell
    If he's picked up a powerful long-distance
    spell, things are gonna get ugly.
[13:20] Fanzell
    I'll put him out of commission first!
[13:23] Fanzell
    Forgive me!
[13:26] Ladros
    I can't! I can't, I can't!
[13:28] Ladros
    I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't!
[13:30] Ladros
    Your magic...
[13:32] Ladros
    Teacher, I just...
[13:34] Ladros
    can't eat all of your magic!
[13:42] Fanzell
    He doesn't have a single scratch on him!
[13:44] Ladros
    After you left, I had the
    army surgically modify me,
[13:48] Ladros
    and I gained a certain magic ability...
[13:51] Ladros
    Absorption and emission.
[13:54] Ladros
    I can absorb all of the magic
    attacks I take into my body
[13:58] Ladros
    and fire them back whenever I want.
[14:02] Ladros
    In other words...
[14:04] Ladros
    I can use your magic to kill your friends!
[14:09] Fanzell
    What the heck is that magic?
[14:11] Fanzell
    It's not just Ladros.
    Several magic powers are building...
[14:15] Ladros
    Hey, Teach... Did you happen to bring
    anyone important to you into this forest?
[14:21] Ladros
    If you did, you should probably
    go save them right about now.
[14:28] Ladros
    Sweet! You can race with my magic!
[14:32] Ladros
    Here I go!
[14:34] Ladros
    Ready... and boom!
[14:38] Ladros
    Million Lasers!
[15:06] Ladros
    Whoops... I got so psyched up, I ended
    up killing some of the people on our side.
[15:10] Ladros
    I wonder if Teach is still alive.
[15:13] Ladros
    Ooh, there he is!
[15:20] Domina
    Zell...
[15:21] Fanzell
    Domina...
[15:23] Ladros
    Oh, dear... It looks like you really did
    have someone important to you here.
[15:29] Ladros
    But you seem to be taking a nap.
    Probably not the best time for that!
[15:34] Ladros
    So you're Teach's special someone.
[15:37] Ladros
    Man, I'm jealous.
[15:43] Ladros
    Hey, I've seen you before.
[15:46] Ladros
    Oh! You're the girlfriend
    who ran off with him!
[15:51] Ladros
    How've you been?
[15:53] Fanzell
    Don't... You should be using your
    powers to do the right thing...
[15:57] Ladros
    But I have been this whole time.
[16:00] Ladros
    I didn't go through special training to
    protect people. Not even a tiny bit.
[16:07] Ladros
    Getting to use your power to the max in
    combat... What could be better than that?
[16:13] Ladros
    You see, I want to be acknowledged.
    By this country! By this world!
[16:17] Ladros
    That's why I trained hard and climbed to
    the rank of the Eight Shining Generals.
[16:22] Ladros
    What is this idealistic crap
    that's coming out of your mouth?
[16:25] Ladros
    That's exactly why you
    lost a power struggle
[16:28] Ladros
    and had to run away with your
    tail between your legs,
[16:31] Ladros
    you stupid coward!
[16:35] Domina
    My husband... is not a coward!
[16:39] Ladros
    Guess I'll just have to kill this chick first!
[16:55] Fanzell
    Don't!
[17:06] Mars
    My powers... exist to protect others.
[17:11] Mars
    Your lessons got through to me.
[17:15] Fanzell
    Mars, what just...
[17:19] Ladros
    Mars, buddy... Whatcha doin'?
[17:22] Mars
    There's no reason to kill
    people unnecessarily.
[17:25] Mars
    Our target is the Queen of Witches.
[17:27] Ladros
    How half-assed can you get?
[17:30] Ladros
    Those two are traitors that defected
    from the Diamond Kingdom.
[17:33] Ladros
    Letting them go would mean
    betraying our kingdom.
[17:38] Mars
    You're right.
[17:39] Ladros
    So... you're gonna betray the kingdom?
[17:42] Mars
    I guess that's what this means.
[17:53] Ladros
    Woohoo!
[17:57] Ladros
    I can finally kill you legally!
[18:03] Ladros
    Seeing you always drove me nuts!
[18:06] Ladros
    All cool and composed, even when we
    were kids! You could do anything!
[18:11] Ladros
    I knew you were going to get in my
    way as I was aiming for the top!
[18:16] Ladros
    Who knew I'd get to off you here?
[18:18] Ladros
    And along with your beloved teacher!
[18:21] Ladros
    This is the best! I couldn't ask for more!
[18:30] Fanzell
    Mariella?
[18:32] Mariella
    That's my master you're talking about.
[18:34] Mariella
    Don't kill him like he's
    just some sort of bonus!
[18:36] Ladros
    Could you and your weak
    magic stay out of this?
[18:40] Ladros
    You wouldn't even count as a snack.
[18:52] Ladros
    That's my widdle Mars!
[18:54] Ladros
    I'll take your ridiculously huge magic, add in
    some flair, and send it right back atcha!
[18:59] Mars
    Flame Recovery Magic: Phoenix Robe!
[19:03] Fanzell
    Mars, why are you protecting us?
[19:07] Fanzell
    As Ladros said, we're traitors.
[19:10] Fanzell
    And you lost your memory...
[19:13] Mars
    Don't worry. I'm on your side, Master.
[19:16] Mars
    I wasn't expecting to see you here, but...
[19:19] ladros
    Woohoo!
[19:22] Mars
    The details can wait.
[19:24] Mars
    We need to do something about him first.
[19:26] Fanzell
    Right. But how are we supposed to
    handle such an unnatural power?
[19:30] Mars
    He's almost invincible, but there are
    still a number of ways to defeat him.
[19:33] Mars
    One is to feed him magic until it overwhelms
    his capacity and he self-destructs.
[19:39] Mars
    This might be possible with spirit magic
    or even the Queen of Witches's magic.
[19:43] Mars
    The other method...
[19:44] Mars
    is anti-magic.
[19:46] Fanzell
    Anti-magic?
[19:47] Fanzell
    How do you know about that?
[19:49] Fanzell
    There's actually someone who
    can test out that method
[19:52] Fanzell
    on the other side of the forest right now.
[19:55] Fanzell
    Let's lure Ladros over there!
[19:57] Mars
    Understood.
[20:00] Ladros
    What are you gossiping about over there?
[20:02] Ladros
    No matter what plan you come up with,
    it'll be useless against my power!
[20:08] Ladros
    What?
[20:11] Ladros
    Huh?
[20:14] Mars
    Your power has made you careless!
[20:18] Fanzell
    I'm not half bad at
    reinforcement magic myself.
[20:22] Both
    Have a nice trip!
[20:32] Asta
    We have you completely surrounded!
[20:36] Asta
    So just give up already!
[20:39] Asta
    Shoo, shoo! Shoo, shoo!
[20:41] Asta
    Resistance is futile!
[20:43] Asta
    We don't want to hurt you!
[20:47] Asta
    You're still young! You shouldn't
    just throw your life away!
[20:51] Asta
    If you do something stupid, your parents
    and friends back home will be sad!
[20:56] Fana
    You filthy humans... Don't you
     dare speak of my friends!

    Do you... know how old I am?
[22:54] Mars
    Twenty-eight.
[22:57] Ladros
    Woo! There's no way Teach is in his twenties!
[23:00] Ladros
    I say thirty-eight!
[23:01] Asta
    No one can teach swordsmanship like that
[23:02] Asta
    unless they've been teaching a long time.
[23:04] Asta
    He's forty-two!
[23:06] Noelle
    I have absolutely no interest in this,
    but he's probably forty-six.
[23:10] Finral
    He has such a beautiful and intelligent
    wife despite how he looks.
[23:14] Finral
    The only way he could've
    pulled that off is with
[23:16] Finral
    flirting techniques acquired
    as a middle-aged man.
[23:17] Finral
    Hm... Fifty!
[23:19] Vanessa
    He always looks so tired, too...
    I say fifty-four.

    You are at least younger

    It appears that Salamander
    is still alive and well.
