    It appeared as though humanity
    would be destroyed by the demons.
[00:15] Nar
    But a single mage saved them all.
[00:26] Nar
    He was called the Wizard King,
    and he became a legend.
SIGN    The Life of a Certain Man
[02:04] Nar
    In the second stage of the
    Royal Knights Selection Exam,
[02:07] Nar
    the battle between E Team and
    G Team was growing intense.
[02:12] Nar
    Leopold from E Team approached
    G Team's crystal,
[02:15] Nar
    and Langris from G Team was also
    getting closer to E Team's crystal.
[02:22] Langris
    It's over, Brother!
[02:24] Finral
    Langris!
[02:27] Finral
    I'll stop you!
[02:39] Hamon
    What a nice cold dessert.
[02:44] Leo
    Flame Magic: Spiral Flames!
[02:47] Fragil
    Snow Magic: Unclimbed Ice Wall!
[02:59] Leo
    Yes! We did i—
[03:00] Guy
    G Team wins!
[03:03] Guy
    G Team's crystal was also destroyed,
    but E Team's crystal was destroyed first.
[03:09] Fragil
    Thank goodness. Langris must've
     gotten to it first.
[03:15] Hamon
    Oh, dear. What happened?
[03:18] Leo
    Damn it! We lost! I wasn't
    concentrating enough!
[03:22] Leo
    Does this mean I'm still nowhere
    near my brother's level?
[03:30] Fragil
    This ominous magic...
[03:33] Hamon
    It's coming from where Finral is.
[03:35] Leo
    What in the world is happening?
[03:45] Langris
    How do you like that?
    There's nothing you can beat me at!
[03:53] Yuno
    What?
[03:56] Asta
    Miz Charmy!
[03:58] Charmy
    Cotton Creation Magic: Fluffy Sheep Cushion!
[04:13] Langris
    Disappear.
[04:22] Asta
    Hey!
[04:23] Magna
    Just try and do something else.
[04:26] Luck
    Forget the match. We'll kill you.
[04:31] Asta
    There's something wrong with you!
[04:33] Asta
    The match was already over!
[04:39] Langris
    Maybe you've been on a roll lately,
    but you're still Black Bulls flunkies.
[04:44] Langris
    What do you think you'll do against
    the Vice Captain of the Golden Dawn?
[04:48] Asta
    Who the hell cares about status when we're
    trying to protect our precious friend?!
[04:52] Langris
    Precious friend?
[04:55] Julius
    That's enough.
[05:04] Julius
    Those who go easy on their companions
    in a fight can't be trusted.
[05:09] Jullius
    But those who try to kill their
    companions have problems
[05:12] Jullius
    that run much deeper than trust.
[05:16] Owen
    He's in bad shape. Leave him to me.
[05:18] Noelle
    Dr. Owen!
[05:19] Owen
    Water Recovery Magic:
[05:22] Owen
    Qualle Operation.
[05:27] Noelle
    Will he be okay?
[05:29] Owen
    I'll do everything I can.
[05:31] Langris
    Companion? That useless fool brings
    shame upon the Magic Knights.
[05:37] Magna
    You little...
[05:38] Luck
    Let's kill him after all.
[05:40] Asta
    Finral's nicer than anybody!
    That's what makes him a true Magic Knight!
[05:45] Asta
    No matter how tough you are,
    you're no Magic Knight!
[05:50] Langris
    I'm not a Magic Knight? What?
[05:55] Langris
    I guess making it this far
    has gone to your head.
[05:58] Langris
    You sure talk big for a Black Bulls newbie.
[06:03] Langris
    Wizard King, before the next
    teams conduct their match,
[06:06] Langris
    would you let me battle them?
[06:11] Langris
    Actually... Let's just start.
[06:14] Magna
    Why, you—
[06:14] Luck
    Asta!
[06:15] Langris
    Let the semi-finals begin!
[06:22] Langris
    You little—
[06:25] Noelle
    Asta!
[06:26] Klaus
    Vice Captain Langris has always
    been a bit belligerent,
[06:30] Klaus
    but it's not normal for him to act like this!
[06:32] Yuno
    Yes. Something definitely isn't right.
[06:38] Marx
    Sir, aren't you going to stop them?
[06:41] Julius
    In actual combat,
     no one says "stop" or "start."
[06:47] Julius
    So keep going.
[06:49] Langris
    You were with him then...
[06:51] Langris
    I disliked you from the first time we met.
[06:54] Langris
    You belong to the worst
    possible Magic Knight squad,
[06:57] Langris
    Asta of the Black Bulls!
[07:00] Asta
    That's my line, you jerk...
[07:03] Asta
    Vice Captain Langris Vaude
     of the Golden Dawn!
[07:22] Julius
    Time Binding Magic: Chrono Stasis.
[07:26] Julius
    You two can hear me, yes?
[07:29] Julius
    Although I'd like for you two to fight as if
    this were real combat, it is still a match.
[07:34] Julius
    Sit tight for a long second,
[07:36] Julius
    until preparations for the
    match are completed.
[07:38] Julius
    Don't worry. I'll have everything
    ready before your enthusiasm cools.
[07:45] Julius
    Prepare for the semi-finals.
    Get the crystals ready.
[07:48] Guy
    Y-Yes, sir!
[07:50] Guy
    Also, bring the other members
    of B Team and G Team here.
[07:54] Cob
    Roger-dodger-roger! Um...
[07:58] Marx
    B Team has Xerx Lügner
    and Mimosa Vermillion.
[08:02] Marx
    G Team has Fragil Tormenta
[08:04] Marx
    and Sekke Bronzazza.
[08:09] Yami
    Now, then...
[08:10] Yami
    I need to make sure to thank you
    for interrupting my golden time.
[08:15] Sekke
    Y-You don't need to thank me-ha.
[08:18] Yami
    Now, there's no need to be shy.
[08:22] Cob
    Pardon me.
[08:23] Yami
    Dark Magic...
[08:26] Yami
    Dimension Slash!
[08:28] Cob
    What in the world?!
[08:32] Owen
    His heartbeat is getting weaker.
[08:34] Noelle
    Finral!
[08:35] Vanessa
    I'll never forgive you if you die!
[08:37] Luck
    Yeah! If you're going to die,
    I need to kill you first!
[08:41] Magna
    Wake up! Don't make me set you on fire!
SIGN    It'll be okay. I know that
    he's really strong deep down!
SIGN    Today won't be the last entry in
    my observation journal for you!
SIGN    That's a long way off!
[08:51] Charmy
    If you die, you won't be able
    to eat delicious noms, la!
[08:54] Charmy
    You can make it through, la!
[08:55] Leo
    To think that's what was going on...
[08:57] Hamon
    Must've been rough.
[08:59] Leo
    My eternal rival, Asta! Don't lose!
[09:05] Cob
    Have fun!
[09:12] Mimosa
    I thought we won.
[09:15] Mimosa
    Asta...
[09:16] Fragil
    What's going on?
[09:20] Sekke
    Huh? What's Asta doing here?
[09:23] Julius
    The semi-final round
    between B Team and G Team.
[09:26] Julius
    We've already set up your crystals
    at your starting positions.
[09:28] Fragil
    What? We're starting the semi-finals already?
[09:30] Julius
    Let me just remind you that this is a match.
[09:34] Julius
    Whichever team can destroy
[09:36] Julius
    the other team's crystal first wins.
    It's not about killing your opponent.
[09:45] Julius
    I wish you luck.
[09:50] Asta
    Mimosa, Xerx, I'm sorry about this.
[09:52] Asta
    I didn't mean for this to happen,
    but I want to beat him!
[09:57] Asta
    Please, help me!
[09:59] Mimosa
    Of course!
[10:00] Mimosa
    There's something wrong with Langris.
[10:06] Mimosa
    Xerx?
[10:10] Zora
    Magic Knights clashing over personal stuff
    and doing whatever the hell they want...
[10:14] Zora
    Are you all stupid?!
[10:16] Asta
    Hey!
[10:18] Zora
    But fine, whatever.
[10:19] Zora
    For now, he's much worse than you.
[10:23] Zora
    Let's do this, you little shit!
[10:27] Fragil
    Langris...
[10:28] Fragil
    What's going on?
[10:30] Sekke
    Kindly explain, bah-ha.
[10:32] Langris
    Shut your mouths.
[10:34] ---
    Bah-ha! Ha-bah, ha-bah...
[10:36] Sekke
    You shouldn't talk to us
    like that. Don't worry-ha.
[10:39] Sekke
    Next time, I'll use my magic to—
[10:40] Langris
    There's no need.
[10:41] Sekke
    Bah-ha?
[10:43] Langris
    All of you are absolutely worthless.
[10:46] Langris
    I'll show you all that I'm special!
[11:01] (Flashback) Marx
    Unconscious betrayal?
[11:03] (Flashback) Julius
    Yes. Based on the circumstances
    up to this point,
[11:06] (Flashback) Julius
    it seems someone
    among the Magic Knights
[11:08] (Flashback) Julius
    is unwittingly cooperating with
    the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
[11:11] (Flashback) Julius
    I can't help but feel like
    there's someone like that.
[11:14] (Flashback) Marx
    So they're being controlled
    by some kind of spell?
[11:18] (Flashback) Julius
    No... It's not a spell.
[11:22] (Flashback) Julius
    I wonder...
[11:24] (Flashback) Julius
    Maybe it is a spell.
[11:27] Marx
    He always leaves work undone to go
    on his little trips to observe magic,
[11:31] Marx
    but his intuition is sharp.
[11:33] Marx
    There must be something going
    on with the Magic Knights.
[11:39] (Flashback) Julius
    My other goal with this
    Royal Knights Selection Exam
[11:42] (Flashback) Julius
    is to bring this unconscious
    traitor to light.
[11:46] (Flashback) Marx
    Huh?
[11:47] (Flashback) Julius
    When they expend their
    mana on the battlefield
[11:50] (Flashback) Julius
    or when they're confronted by powerful mana,
[11:52] (Flashback) Julius
    people tend to show their true colors.
[11:55] (Flashback) Marx
    But won't that be dangerous?
[11:57] (Flashback) Julius
    No.
[12:00] (Flashback) Julius
    We're doing this.
[12:04] Marx
    Does this mean that Langris
    is the unconscious traitor,
[12:09] Marx
    Wizard King?
[12:11] Asta
    Let's go after the enemy's crystal
[12:13] Asta
    while protecting our own,
     like we did in the first stage!
[12:16] Asta
    Mimosa, could you pull the crystal?
[12:18] Mimosa
    Right!
[12:19] Asta
    I need you to back me up, Xerx!
[12:21] Guy
    There has been a change of plans.
SIGN    Sekke Langris Fragil
SIGN    G Team
SIGN    Xerx Asta Mimosa
SIGN    B Team
[12:24] Guy
    We will now begin round
    one of the semi-finals.
[12:26] Guy
    B Team: Xerx, Mimosa, Asta versus
    G Team: Langris, Fragil, and Sekke.
[12:31] Guy
    Begin!
[12:36] Marx
    They handled that quickly.
[12:40] Langris
    His anti-magic sword can cut the
    crystal in two with a single slash.
[12:46] Langris
    Which means...
[12:49] Langris
    I just have to break you and your crystal
[12:52] Langris
    before you can get to ours!
[12:59] Asta
    These don't suddenly change like
    Magna's attack, so I can cut these.
[13:03] Asta
    But there are so many of them!
[13:09] Mimosa
    Recovery Magic: Princess-Healing Flower Robe!
[13:11] Asta
    Thanks, Mimosa!
[13:14] Langris
    It's only a matter of time before your
    recovery spells aren't fast enough!
[13:19] Langris
    Before that happens, take back what you said!
[13:21] Vanessa
    Come on! Asta's doing his best out there!
[13:24] Vanessa
    You need to keep fighting
    so you don't get laughed at!
[13:26] Langris
    That cowardly loser isn't a Magic Knight!
[13:30] Langris
    I won! That makes me the true Magic Knight!
[13:35] Asta
    You didn't even hesitate
    to abandon the people!
[13:39] (Flashback) Langris
    Oh, well. They'll just have to be noble
    sacrifices for the sake of our country.
[13:43] Asta
    Give me a break!
[13:44] Asta
    Finral has always used
    his magic to help others!
[13:49] Langris
    So what, you naïve little brat?!
     That's all he can do!
[13:54] Langris
    He was never strong enough
    to defeat his enemies!
[14:03] Mimosa
    Asta!
[14:04] Mimosa
    I can't...
[14:05] Langris
    The one who wins in the end is the
    one who's right about everything!
[14:11] Asta
    Is that so? In that case,
    I'm right about everything!
[14:16] Langris
    What?
[14:17] Asta
    Because I'm going to win
    for Finral's sake, too!
[14:20] Langris
    Oh, please.
[14:22] Noelle
    Asta!
[14:25] Klaus
    Don't give up, no matter what!
[14:29] Leo
    Asta!
[14:30] Marx
    This is no longer a match.
[14:33] Marx
    What's going to happen in
    this battle, Wizard King?
[14:44] Mimosa
    My recovery magic can't keep up!
[14:46] Mimosa
    Asta! Any more of this and your body
    will break down before the crystal does!
[14:51] Mimosa
    We—
[14:51] Asta
    Not yet!
[14:57] Asta
    The side effects of my black form...
[14:59] Asta
    The intense pain in my muscles and bones...
[15:02] Asta
    My cool-down period is over.
[15:05] Asta
    Right now, I'm only able to go
    into that state twice a day.
[15:09] Asta
    I was planning to save it for
    when I fight Yuno in the finals,
[15:12] Asta
    but I can't afford to think like that now!
[15:14] Asta
    Still, in order to go into that state,
[15:17] Asta
    I need to concentrate and
    make my ki circulate.
[15:19] Asta
    In these circumstances,
    that's going to be impossible.
[15:25] Asta
    So...
[15:28] Asta
    It's all you, Xerx!
[15:30] Xerx
    You dumbass!
[15:32] Xerx
    Like I'd take orders from you.
[15:35] Mimosa
    Xerx!
[15:37] Xerx
    I'm only doing this because
    I don't like that guy.
[15:41] Xerx
    Yet this dumbass is actually
    putting all his trust in me.
[15:47] Xerx
    Damn it.

    Did you behave—Whoa! You did
    all the housework perfectly again!
[16:06] (Flashback) Zara
    Thanks for everything you do, Zora.
[16:08] Zora
    My father was a very cheerful person.
[16:12] (Flashback) Zora
    You stink!
[16:17] Zora
    My father loved practical jokes.
[16:22] (Flashback) Zara
    You fell for it, Zora.
[16:24] Zora
    And he always laughed like a child.

[16:45] (Flashback) Zara
    He's a warrior who protects
    the country behind the scenes!
[16:47] (Flashback) Zara
    Well? Isn't he cool?
[16:49] (Flashback) Zora
    I'm twelve years old, you know...
[16:52] (Flashback) Zara
    I'm not saying you have to match this.
[16:54] (Flashback) Zara
    I just think you should learn to
    communicate with others more, Zora.
[16:59] (Flashback) Zora
    Right...
[17:00] (Flashback) Zara
    All right, then.
[17:03] (Flashback) Zara
    I'm gonna go protect the peace again.
[17:13] Nar
    Zara was the first peasant
    to become a Magic Knight.
[17:16] Nar
    From the age of fifteen,
[17:18] Nar
    he failed the Magic Knights
    Entrance Exam over and over.
[17:21] Nar
    But despite getting older and
    becoming a father, he never gave up
[17:24] Nar
    and worked harder than anyone.
[17:27] Nar
    All of Zara's hard work
    shone in Zora's eyes.
[17:31] Nar
    And he was prouder than anyone when
    his father became a Magic Knight.
[17:39] (Flashback) Zara
    I ended up alongside this amazing
    guy on the battlefield today.
[17:43] (Flashback) Zara
    He could use time magic.
[17:46] (Flashback) Zara
    He's the kind of guy who's gonna succeed.
[17:49] (Flashback) Zara
    I get to protect the country with a
    bunch of amazing people like that.
[17:52] (Flashback) Zara
    Man, being a Magic Knight is awesome!
[17:56] (Flashback) Zara
    We all believe in each other and get
    through life-or-death situations!
[18:00] (Flashback) Zara
    I'm going to continue protecting everything
    I can with all the power that I have.
[18:04] (Flashback) Zara
    That's what makes a Magic Knight!
[18:16] Zora
    How are you going to protect
    anything if you're dead, Dad?
[18:28] Zora
    Those are... Magic Knights
    from the Purple Orcas.
[18:32] Zora
    They're Dad's companions.
[18:34] Zora
    They must've come to pay their respects.
[18:36] (Flashback) Guy
    Too bad, Zara Ideale.
[18:39] (Flashback) Guy 2
    A peasant trying to pass himself off
[18:41] (Flashback) Guy 2
    as a Magic Knight on the battlefield?
[18:43] (Flashback) Guy
    That's why you got nailed in
    the back by one of your own.
[18:47] (Flashback) Guy
    I mean, the insolence of a mere peasant
    thinking he could get along
[18:51] (Flashback) Guy
    with nobles like us...
[18:52] (Flashback) Guy 2
    Buzzing around saving civilians
    on the brink of death...
[18:55] (Flashback) Guy 2
    You were an eyesore, you piece of trash.
[18:58] (Flashback) Guy
    No one wants a filthy Magic Knight like you.

[19:15] (Flashback) Guy
    You call this a VIP room?

    We're Magic Knights here!

    Bring us your best alcohol!
[19:25] (Flashback) Girl
    B-But...
[19:27] (Flashback) Guy 2
    What? You don't want to pour me a drink?
[19:31] (Flashback) Girl
    Th-That's not...
[19:33] (Flashback) Guy
    I guess I'll have to punish you
    for that attitude of yours.
[19:36] (Flashback) Girl
    Sir... Please forgive me!
[19:41] (Flashback) Guy
    Good job. This is making the
    alcohol taste a little better.
[19:44] (Flashback) Zora
    Well, hello there, Magic Knights.
[19:47] (Flashback) Zora
    I'm about to get in your way.
[19:50] (Flashback) Guy
    Huh?
