**[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] Queen**
Show me who you really are!
**[00:54] Asta**
Never giving up...
**[00:57] Asta**
is my magic!
**[01:00] Nar**
* The Queen of Witches released Asta's*
* limiter suppressing his anti-magic*
**[01:04] Nar**
*and awakened his full powers.*
**[01:07] astar**
*What is this?*
**[01:09] Asta**
*It feels like I'm in a cold lake.*
**[01:12] Asta**
*It feels cool...*
**[01:14] Asta**
*My mind is unbelievably clear.*
**[01:18] Asta**
*And I can feel...*
**[01:20] Asta**
*the power overflowing!*
**[01:26] Queen**
I assumed that you might be one of their kin,
**[01:29] Queen**
but apparently I was wrong.
**[01:31] Queen**
A sudden mutation kept
mana from dwelling in you.
**[01:36] Queen**
You're merely defective.
**[01:39] Queen**
But because of that,
you are able to wield that sword.
**[01:42] Queen**
You aren't special. Not in the slightest.
**[01:47] Queen**
But that's exactly what makes you special.
**[01:51] Asta**
Black Meteorite!
**[01:56] Nar**
* Asta was able to defeat Ladros,*
* thanks to this newly awakened power,*
**[02:00] Nar**
*and Ladros turned over a new leaf.*
**[02:02] Nar**
*However...*
**[02:03] Queen**
Controlling blood. That is my magic.
**[02:08] Queen**
From now on, you'll spend your life
in my employ, working as my blade.
**[02:13] Nar**
* The Queen of Witches was after*
* Asta's anti-magic all along.*
**[02:19] Nar**
*She then took control of Asta...*
**[02:22] Queen**
Now, for your first task...
**[02:24] Queen**
I shall force you to kill everyone
here with your own two hands.
***SIGN*** The Red Thread of Fate
**[04:08] Noelle**
No... way...
**[04:12] Vanessa**
Asta, stop!
**[04:15] Fanzell**
Asta!
**[04:18] Queen**
Now, then... Which one of you shall I kill first?
**[04:21] Queen**
I know.
**[04:24] Queen**
I'll start with you, little royal.
**[04:27] queen**
Go.
**[04:35] Vanessa**
Stop!
**[04:37] Fanzell**
No! Wake up!
**[04:38] Fanzell**
Snap out of it, Asta!
**[04:44] Fanzell**
It's no use. He can't hear us.
**[04:46] Noelle**
Asta, stop! Don't you recognize me?
**[04:53] Queen**
It must be fate...
**[04:55] Queen**
To think that a royal of the
Clover Kingdom shall die by his sword.
**[05:06] Vanessa**
Asta...
**[05:13] Noelle**
Asta...
**[05:16] Vanessa**
Wake up!
**[05:18] Noelle**
Asta...
**[05:20] Queen**
This is farewell.
**[05:26] Vanessa**
No!
**[05:27] Fanzell**
Asta, don't!
**[05:29] Queen**
Do it.
**[05:50] Queen**
This boy... He's unconscious, and yet...
**[05:53] Vanessa**
Asta...
**[05:55] Fanzell**
So he's not completely under her control.
**[06:01] Noelle**
I won't let you kill me.
**[06:03] Noelle**
I'm not going to let you kill me!
**[06:07] Noelle**
Just you wait!
**[06:10] Noelle**
I'll shake this flimsy spell
off right this instant!
**[06:14] Noelle**
These stupid things!
**[06:17] Queen**
Puppet's Blood binds itself with the
blood in your body and takes hold.
**[06:22] Queen**
No matter how much you struggle,
you will never undo it.
**[06:24] Queen**
That goes for you as well,
even if you don't have any magic.
**[06:38] Noelle**
Asta...
**[06:39] Queen**
You are stubborn. However...
**[06:52] Noelle**
Asta!
**[06:53] Vanessa**
Please! Make him stop!
**[06:58] Vanessa**
I swear that I'll never
leave this forest again!
**[07:01] Vanessa**
I'll never disobey you again... So please...
**[07:06] Queen**
No.
**[07:09] Queen**
I will kill them here, perfectly,
**[07:12] Queen**
to keep you from having any
more foolish notions ever again.
**[07:15] Queen**
My divinations told me,
"Vanessa will summon what you want
**[07:19] Queen**
and return to the forest alive someday."
**[07:23] Queen**
That is why I didn't
search very hard for you.
**[07:26] Queen**
Granted, I didn't think that what I wanted
would be a human with anti-magic swords.
**[07:34] Queen**
But what did you gain by going outside?
**[07:38] Queen**
You formed trivial bonds with
imperfect fools, and as a result,
**[07:43] Queen**
you only brought about their deaths.
**[07:46] Queen**
You cannot escape me.
**[07:48] Queen**
You cannot sever this bond.
**[07:50] Vanessa**
Bond?
**[07:52] Queen**
After all, you are my daughter. My family.
**[07:57] Vanessa**
I'm... part of your family?
**[08:01] Queen**
You belong to me.
**[08:13] (Flashback) Witch 1**
No way!
**[08:15] (Flashback) Witch 2**
No, really!
**[08:19] (Flashback) Witch 1**
Oh, yeah! That town had
really delicious cake.
**[08:23] (Flashback) Witch 2**
I want to go, too.
**[08:25] (Flashback) Vanessa**
Hey, please! Help me!
**[08:27] (Flashback) Vanessa**
I want to leave!
**[08:29] (Flashback) Vanessa**
Hey, please! Please, don't go!
**[08:43] (Flashback) Queen**
Vanessa.
**[08:46] (Flashback) Vanessa**
Your Majesty...
**[08:48] (Flashback) Vanessa**
Please let me out of here!
I don't want to be in here anymore!
**[08:52] (Flashback) Vanessa**
I'm so lonely all by myself!
How long do I have to stay in here?
**[08:56] (Flashback) Vanessa**
Your Majesty!
**[08:58] (Flashback) Vanessa**
This thread magic doesn't have the sort
of incredible power you say it does!
**[09:03] (Flashback) Vanessa**
Please, let me out of here!
**[09:05] (Flashback) Queen**
No. You will one day have the
power to control destiny.
**[09:09] (Flashback) Queen**
It clearly says so in my divinations.
**[09:12] (Flashback) Vanessa**
But—
**[09:13] (Flashback) Queen**
You asked how long you must stay in there,
and I shall give you an answer.
**[09:16] (Flashback) Queen**
I won't let you out of there
**[09:18] (Flashback) Queen**
until you invoke the magic that
allows you to control destiny.
**[09:22] (Flashback) Queen**
You are my family.
**[09:24] (Flashback) Vanessa**
If I'm your family, let me out of here!
**[09:27] (Flashback) Queen**
I cannot do that.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Queen**
I will be the one to choose your destiny.
**[09:34] (Flashback) Vanessa**
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
**[09:37] (Flashback) Vanessa**
Please, wait! Please let me out of here!
**[09:45] (Flashback) Vanessa**
I don't have... powers like that.
**[09:55] (Flashback) Witch 1**
Oh, yeah. That cake shop
ended up closing down.
**[09:59] (Flashback) Witch 2**
That's a shame.
**[10:02] (Flashback) Vanessa**
Hey, did you know?
**[10:05] (Flashback) Vanessa**
There's a big town outside this forest,
**[10:08] (Flashback) Vanessa**
and there are a lot of people
who aren't witches living there.
**[10:10] (Flashback) Bird doll**
Vanessa... We've heard that
story hundreds of times.
**[10:15] (Flashback) Bird doll**
All the other witches go
there to have fun, right?
**[10:19] (Flashback) Bird doll**
Some even have boyfriends.
**[10:21] (Flashback) Girl doll**
Why don't you escape from this
cage and go out there, too?
**[10:25] (Flashback) Vanessa**
What? B-But I can't...
**[10:28] (Flashback) Vanessa**
I mean...
**[10:30] (Flashback) Vanessa**
I can't defy the Queen of Witches.
**[10:34] (Flashback) Bird doll**
C-Come on, cheer up.
**[10:37] (Flashback) Girl doll**
Do you want me to ask the
Queen of Witches for you?
**[10:40] (Flashback) Vanessa**
That's impossible. You're a doll
that I created with my own magic.
**[10:45] (Flashback) Vanessa**
If I can't do it, neither can you.
**[10:49] (Flashback) Girl doll**
You have a point.
**[10:51] (Flashback) Girl doll**
This whole conversation is just you
talking to yourself to begin with.
**[10:55] (Flashback) Bird doll**
Hopefully you'll be able to
make some real friends someday.
**[11:01] (Flashback) Vanessa**
That's impossible... There's no way.
**[11:04] (Flashback) Vanessa**
I'm going to be stuck like this
forever... I'll never be free.
**[11:38] Vanessa**
*It seems a bit noisy outside...*
**[11:41] (Flashback) Witch**
There's a man!
**[11:42] (Flashback) Witch**
Intruder!
**[11:44] Vanessa**
*Intruder?*
**[12:03] (Flashback) Yami**
Jeez... Come on now. I'm just
doing some warrior training.
**[12:05] Vanessa**
*A man?*
**[12:07] (Flashback) Yami**
Why am I being chased around this
forest just for being a guy?
**[12:15] Vanessa**
*I've never seen one before. A man...*
**[12:19] (Flashback) Yami**
And that hysterical old hag
is a tough cookie, damn it.
**[12:23] Vanessa**
*He fought the Queen?*
**[12:27] (Flashback) Yami**
What the hell is this place, anyway?
**[12:29] (Flashback) Yami**
Huh? Who're you? What are you
doing in a place like this?
**[12:32] (Flashback) Vanessa**
U-Um, w-well, you see...
**[12:36] (Flashback) Vanessa**
The Queen has me locked up in here.
**[12:40] (Flashback) Yami**
You're locked up in here?
**[12:42] (Flashback) Yami**
So you're literally like a bird in a cage.
**[12:45] (Flashback) Vanessa**
I've never been outside.
**[12:47] (Flashback) Yami**
Seriously? Well, that sucks.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Yami**
But, hey. You're in luck.
**[12:52] (Flashback) Yami**
There's a huge hole in it now,
so you can get out that way.
**[12:56] (Flashback) Vanessa**
I-I can't! I'll never be
able to escape the Queen.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Vanessa**
I'm fated to stay here.
**[13:04] (Flashback) Yami**
Huh? "I'm fated to stay here"?
**[13:09] (Flashback) Yami**
Oh, right. Good ol' Mr. Fate.
**[13:12] (Flashback) Yami**
I hate that bastard.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Yami**
Like hell I'm gonna listen to 'im.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Yami**
I'll do what I want, even if
I have to crush fate myself.
**[13:21] (Flashback) Yami**
I'm pretty sure I can't beat that
hysterical old hag right now, though.
**[13:30] (Flashback) Yami**
So I'm getting the hell outta here.
**[13:32] (Flashback) Yami**
See ya, little birdie.
**[13:35] (Flashback) Vanessa**
W-Wait! What should I do?
**[13:41] (Flashback) Yami**
Hell if I know. Choose for yourself.
**[13:49] Vanessa**
*I'm a bird trapped in a cage...*
**[13:53] Vanessa**
*Which means that I should have wings.*
**[13:56] Vanessa**
*I can fly through that big, blue sky.*
**[14:00] Vanessa**
*I will choose...*
**[14:06] (Flashback) Vanessa**
for myself!
**[14:37] Vanessa**
*What I obtained in the outside world was...*
**[14:48] Vanessa**
No, it's not you.
**[14:50] Queen**
What?
**[14:51] Vanessa**
You're not my family!
**[14:55] Vanessa**
The Black Bulls are!
**[14:58] Vanessa**
And right now, that family is about to
be taken from me, right before my eyes!
**[15:06] Vanessa**
If I can't stop this, why do I even exist?!
**[15:11] Vanessa**
Please! If I truly have this power...
**[15:15] Vanessa**
My magic, I implore you...
**[15:16] Vanessa**
Change destiny!
**[15:30] Vanessa**
What is this?
**[15:42] Queen**
The red thread... of fate.
**[15:51] Queen**
Is that what this is?
**[16:02] Vanessa**
I didn't visualize it taking this shape.
**[16:06] Vanessa**
Why?
**[16:10] Queen**
* Did she finally discover*
* the power to control fate?*
**[16:15] Queen**
Well, then... Let us find out.
**[16:26] Vanessa**
No!
**[16:34] Queen**
*It only touched him?*
**[16:36] Queen**
*Nothing is happening?*
**[16:41] Queen**
Rue your sin in having underestimated
the Queen of Witches.
**[16:52] Vanessa**
No!
**[16:55] Queen**
So it was still incomplete.
**[16:58] Queen**
But have no fear.
**[16:59] Queen**
I am perfection, and I shall ensure that it
is fostered properly under my supervision.
**[17:05] Vanessa**
No!
**[17:12] Queen**
What?
**[17:13] Queen**
* What in the world? I could've sworn*
* that he cut down the royal girl.*
**[17:17] Queen**
Rue your sin in having underestimated
the Queen of Witches.
**[17:21] Queen**
* Didn't I just speak those*
* words a few moments ago?*
**[17:32] Queen**
What?
**[17:33] Queen**
*Was there some kind of mistake?*
**[17:37] Vanessa**
Stop!
**[17:46] Queen**
It's over.
**[17:48] Vanessa**
Stop!
**[18:02] Queen**
*This... It cannot be...*
**[18:05] Queen**
*Then how about him?*
**[18:26] Queen**
*Then how about the cat itself?*
**[18:42] Queen**
*Puppet's Blood has come undone?*
**[18:45] Queen**
*Are you telling me my manipulation failed?*
**[18:48] Queen**
This... This truly is the
power to control destiny.
**[18:55] Queen**
*In all likelihood, this magic changes*
**[18:57] Queen**
* the destinies of the people the cat*
* touches to the caster's advantage.*
**[19:04] Queen**
* Vanessa herself probably didn't see the*
* fates where her companions were killed.*
**[19:09] Queen**
* She's only seeing the attacks*
* continue to miss against all odds.*
**[19:14] Queen**
*This cat is both harmless and unavoidable.*
**[19:21] Queen**
So you've awakened. Well done, Vanessa.
**[19:25] Queen**
I've been waiting for this moment.
**[19:27] Queen**
I've waited so, so long.
**[19:30] Queen**
Blood Magic: Puppet's Blood!
**[19:38] Noelle**
Vanessa!
**[19:40] Queen**
Now both you and your magic belong to me.
**[19:44] Queen**
That power best suits
me because I am perfect.
**[19:51] Queen**
Now, fate, align yourself with me!
**[20:19] Fanzell**
What was...
**[20:21] Noelle**
What just happened?
**[20:26] Domina**
Darling!
**[20:27] Fanzell**
Domina! Mariella!
**[20:31] Domina**
You're safe...
**[20:41] Queen**
Impossible...
**[20:45] Queen**
Impossible. Impossible!
**[20:47] Queen**
There's nothing that my
perfect magic cannot control!
**[20:51] Queen**
So why?
**[20:56] Vanessa**
So this is the power to control destiny
that you were talking about.
**[21:00] Vanessa**
I don't know much about this power yet,
**[21:05] Vanessa**
but there is one thing I do know.
**[21:09] Vanessa**
This magic only takes the side of myself
and those I have a family bond with.
**[21:15] Vanessa**
You and I have no bond.

Do you really choose me?

Yes, it has to be you. You're almost
as beautiful as the Queen of Witches!
**[23:11] Queen**
Oh, I could never compare to her!
**[23:14] Queen**
The Queen of Witches is *so* beautiful,
kind, and beloved by all!
**[23:21] Queen**
No, you truly are.

You're so elegant, kind, and proud,

Man, it's so quiet around here

That means I can take a dump in peace.

But it's a little too quiet.
They'd better get back soon.
