    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.

    Yes, it has to be you. You're almost

    Oh, I could never compare to her!

    The Queen of Witches is so beautiful,

    Man, it's so quiet around here
