    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.
[00:35] Nar
    The list of Magic Knights who
    made it into the Royal Knights
[00:37] Nar
    was announced at last.
[00:41] Nar
    Zora, one of those who passed, arrived late.
[00:45] Nar
    Shiren Tium, Cob Portaport, and the
    Captain of the Silver Eagles, Nozel Silva,
[00:49] Nar
    were also added later on as support,
[00:53] Nar
    making for a total of 20 Royal Knights.
[00:57] (Flashback) Mere
    We have no use for anything
    other than victory!
[00:58] (Flashback) Mere
    The Eye of the Midnight Sun is
[01:00] (Flashback) Mere
    a terrorist organization that
    threatens the Clover Kingdom!
[01:03] (Flashback) Mere
    If we don't take care of them ourselves,
    there will never be peace in our land!
[01:07] (Flashback) Mere
    The Eye of the Midnight Sun's hideout
[01:11] (Flashback) Mere
    is located in...
[01:12] (Flashback) Mere
    a floating dungeon within the strong
    magic region known as Gravito Stones!

[02:57] Leo
    I thank you for coming, my rival!
SIGN    The Crimson Lion Kings' Headquarters
    Infirmary
[03:01] Leo
    I heard from my sister that you two
    passed the Royal Knights Exam.
[03:05] Asta
    Yeah! We're finally gonna take
    down the Eye of the Midnight Sun!
[03:09] Noelle
    We're leaving in three days.
[03:11] Noelle
    We're standing by in the royal capital
    until then so information won't be leaked.
[03:15] Leo
    I see.
[03:16] Noelle
    Um...
[03:17] Leo
    Hm?
[03:18] Noelle
    How's Fuegoleon doing?
[03:20] Leo
    He's still asleep.
[03:22] Leo
    We still don't know what happened
    to him when he was captured
[03:26] Leo
    by the Eye of the Midnight Sun during
    their attack on the royal capital.
[03:29] Leo
    Whatever they did,
    I'm sure it was underhanded.
[03:33] Leo
    Yet even then, my brother would just say...
[03:37] Leo
    "The reason I was unable to defeat
    them was my own weakness."
[03:44] Leo
    I will train even harder,
    catch up to all of you,
[03:49] Leo
    and surpass you!
[03:50] Noelle
    Leopold...
[03:52] Asta
    I will get revenge for Captain Fuegoleon,
     no matter what!
[03:56] Asta
    Captain Fuegoleon didn't laugh at
    my dream to become the Wizard King.
[04:01] Asta
    He even called me a rival.
[04:04] Asta
    The reason I'm here right now
    is because of Captain Fuegoleon.
[04:09] Noelle
    Me, too.
[04:10] (Flashback) Fuego
    Being weak is nothing to be ashamed of.
[04:13] (Flashback) Fuego
    However, staying weak is!
[04:17] Noelle
    Those words helped me grow stronger.
[04:23] Leo
    Asta, Noelle, I'm counting on you.
[04:25] Asta
    Yeah! For the sake of returning
    peace to this country...
[04:29] Both
    ...we'll defeat the Eye of the Midnight Sun!
[04:37] Asta
    Next time, let's fight together, Leo!
[04:39] Leo
    Of course! Be careful.
[04:41] Asta
    Yeah!
[04:42] Noelle
    We'll come by again.
[04:51] Asta
    I hope Captain Fuegoleon
    and Finral both wake up soon.
[04:57] Noelle
    Not to mention...
[04:58] Noelle
    The eerie feeling I got from that mana...
[05:01] Noelle
    The Eye of the Midnight
    Sun might be behind that.
[05:05] Noelle
    We have to defeat them.
[05:07] Asta
    Yeah...
[05:09] Asta
    But something's been bugging me.
[05:13] Noelle
    Huh?
[05:14] Asta
    You remember what that hairy gorilla said?
[05:17] Asta
    For some reason, they can't forgive us, either.
[05:20] Asta
    We're fighting each other because
    we can't forgive each other.
[05:24] Asta
    And I mean, if we could forgive each
    other, we wouldn't have to fight...
[05:28] Asta
    So that means...
[05:34] Asta
    Even I have no idea what I'm trying to say!
[05:37] noelle
    That's what you get for thinking
    so hard when you're so stupid.
[05:39] Asta
    Don't call me stupid!
[05:41] Asta
    Then again, Captain Yami
    told me the same thing!
[05:44] Asta
    All right! At times like this,
     I need to work out!
[05:46] Asta
    First, my abs!
[05:49] Asta
    Next, my back muscles!
[05:52] Noelle
    You meathead.
[05:54] Asta
    Everything's cramping at once!
[05:57] Yuno
    You can't be serious.
[05:59] Asta
    Yuno! Mimosa and Mr. Glasses, too!
[06:03] Noelle
    Did you come to visit Fuegoleon, too?
[06:06] Klaus
    No, we're here for another reason.
[06:08] Klaus
    The Golden Dawn had the most members pass
    the Royal Knights Entrance Exam, after all.
[06:08] Mimosa
    Asta! Are you all right?!
[06:12] Asta
    No need to worry about me!
[06:14] Asta
    I've trained every single muscle in my body!
[06:15] Klaus
    We've been having fiery meetings with
    Captain Mereoleona these past few days
[06:16] Yuno
    The only thing you haven't
    trained is your brain.
[06:19] Klaus
    so we don't let anyone down.
[06:19] Asta
    Yup, exactly! It's super weak!
[06:22] Asta
    Hey, don't make fun of me!
[06:24] Yuno
    If there's a spell to make someone smarter,
     could someone use it on Asta?
[06:28] Bell
    Oh, you're so nice, Yuno!
[06:30] Asta
    Don't make weird requests like that!
[06:34] Mimosa
    I'm terribly sorry. I can't think of any.
[06:36] Asta
    I'm actually kinda disappointed!
[06:38] Klaus
    Honestly...
[06:39] Klaus
    We have a big battle ahead of us,
     and you show no sense of urgency.
[06:43] Klaus
    What if an enemy spy finds out our plan?
[06:47] Asta
    A spy?
[06:52] Klaus
    It's entirely plausible.
[06:55] Klaus
    They were able to bribe the
    Captain of the Purple Orcas
[06:58] Klaus
    to help them out with their
    attack on the royal capital.
[07:01] Klaus
    You can never be too cautious.
[07:04] Noelle
    True.
[07:05] Asta
    We've gotta be careful.
[07:09] Klaus
    If you two are also heading to the
    royal capital, would you like a ride?
[07:13] Klaus
    On my vessel.
[07:16] Asta
    Wow, really? Awesome! Thanks!
[07:19] Noelle
    Well, if you insist...
SIGN    Royal Capital
    Lodging House
[07:25] Asta
    So good!
[07:28] Asta
    So good! So good!
[07:31] Asta
    The food in the royal capital
    is on another level!
[07:35] Mimosa
    Oh, dear.
[07:36] Mimosa
    Asta, you have some sauce on your mouth.
[07:40] Mimosa
    Forgive me! I'm being too forward!
[07:43] Asta
    Thanks, Mimosa!
[07:44] Klaus
    You're eating entirely too much.
[07:46] Klaus
    I thought you were going to be more cautious.
[07:48] Noelle
    Y-Yeah! Look at you,
    getting your mouth wiped like a baby.
[07:51] Noelle
    N-Not that I care the slightest bit!
[07:55] Asta
    But I am on my guard.
[07:57] Asta
    Normally, I'd eat at least twice this much!
[08:03] Yuno
    You can't be serious.
[08:04] Klaus
    I'm worried.
[08:06] Klaus
    It's not just Asta.
[08:08] Klaus
    They may be talented, but there are
    a lot of troublemakers among them.
[08:15] Luck
    I can't wait to fight some people!
[08:16] Luck
    I'm gonna beat them to
    a pulp and squash them.
[08:22] Rill
    Zora is all by himself!
[08:25] Rill
    He must be too shy to talk to the others.
[08:28] Rill
    I need to be the one to break the ice!
[08:32] Rill
    Take a look at this!
[08:34] Rill
    This is what your face looks like!
[08:41] Rill
    It stinks so bad!
[08:44] Fragil
    C-Captain Rill?!
[08:51] Kirsch
    All of you lack manners.
[08:56] Kirsch
    Meals are meant to be enjoyed
    in a much more elegant,
[08:58] Kirsch
    beautiful, and distinguished fashion.
[09:09] Kirsch
    You dare run away from me because
    you don't want to be eaten?
[09:12] Kirsch
    What a repulsive mushroom.
[09:15] Kirsch
    Hey! Wait!
[09:17] Kirsch
    You... repulsive... mushroom!
[09:20] Mush
    Don't eat my brethren!
[09:26] Hamon
    Everyone, it appears that Miss Puli
    wants to give us the gift of song.
[09:46] Puli
    Puli, Puli, Puli, my skin's so pretty!
[09:51] Puli
    I'm a lovely lady who sings so sweetly!
[09:52] Asta
    What the hell is this song?!
[09:54] Puli
    Puli, Puli, Puli, I'm a lovely lady
[09:56] Noelle
    How bad a singer can one be?
[09:58] Klaus
    As rude as this sounds,
     I want to murder someone.
[09:59] Puli
    with supple cheeks!
[10:01] ---
    Shut up!
[10:03] Puli
    Puli poo pariponpen!
[10:03] Spy
    I can't get any useful information
    while I'm sticking to that guy!
[10:07] Puli
    Pushka, pushka...
[10:18] Mere
    What's the matter,
    Captain of the Silver Eagles?
[10:22] Nozel
    You're taking three days
    to start this operation.
[10:26] Nozel
    You're being awfully cautious.
[10:28] Mere
    What are you getting at?
[10:30] Mere
    Do you think I'm hesitating?
[10:33] Nozel
    No. It appears I needn't worry.
[10:38] Mere
    You always were perceptive.
[10:41] Mere
    I set a trap to find out how much
    the enemy knows of our plans.
[10:47] Mere
    Well, let's hear it.
[10:50] Mere
    Did you really think you could
    trick me with such a foolish spell?
[11:00] Spy
    Damn it!
[11:08] Mere
    You're not getting away.
[11:17] Asta
    A spy from the Eye of the Midnight Sun?!
[11:20] Noelle
    I can't believe there really was one...
[11:22] Mush
    Mushroom is shocked!
[11:25] Mere
    Second-Place Rookie,
[11:26] Mere
    apparently, he was following you.
[11:31] Klaus
    To think I hadn't noticed...
[11:33] Klaus
    How disgraceful.
[11:35] Mere
    I questioned him without killing him,
[11:38] Mere
    but apparently, our enemy hasn't
    noticed any of our movements.
[11:42] Mere
    Therefore, we will be moving up
    the operation's start time.
[11:46] Mere
    We strike the Eye of the Midnight
    Sun's hideout tomorrow morning.
[11:50] Fragil
    T-Tomorrow?
[11:52] Puli
    Not in three days?
[11:54] Bell
    I don't want Yuno to see
    me right after I wake up!
[11:59] Mere
    Make sure you all get plenty of rest tonight.
[12:02] Mere
    That is all.
[12:10] Guy
    It appears Lady Mereoleona intended
    all along to depart immediately
[12:14] Guy
    as soon as she captured the enemy spy.
[12:17] Guy
    So if you want to fool your enemies,
    you must first fool your friends.
[12:21] Guy
    But tomorrow morning?
[12:27] Zora
    What a scary lady.
[12:32] Zora
    What's up, shitty shrimp junior?
[12:35] Zora
    You scared?
[12:38] Asta
    It's the exact opposite.
[12:40] Asta
    The reason I want to become Wizard King
[12:43] Asta
    is so that everyone who lives here
[12:45] Asta
    can have a free country
    where they can always smile.
[12:50] Asta
    I'm going to stop their rampage,
     no matter what!
[12:54] Yuno
    You'd better not go on a
    rampage and hold us back.
[12:57] Asta
    I'm never going to lose to you!
[13:00] Yuno
    I'm the one who's going to win.
[13:03] Noelle
    It's finally time.
[13:04] Mimosa
    Yes.
[13:06] Klaus
    Tomorrow is when we finally settle this.
[13:09] Asta
    We're going to...
[13:11] All
    ...defeat the Eye of the Midnight Sun!
SIGN    Gravito Stones Floating Dungeon
    The Eye of the Midnight Sun's Hideout
[13:39] Asta
    Holy crap! There's a castle
    floating in the sky!
[13:43] Noelle
    That's the Eye of the
    Midnight Sun's hideout.
[13:48] Mere
    Well, there aren't many who would
    set foot in the strong magic regions.
[13:55] Mere
    And since it's hidden by this
    magical fog, it's even harder to spot.
[13:59] Mere
    Anyone would have difficulty finding it.
[14:02] Mere
    You figured all that out, and that's
    why you had people search this area.
[14:05] Mere
    You've gotten better,
    Captain of the Silver Eagles.
[14:10] Nozel
    I just happened to have
    people searching dungeons,
[14:12] Nozel
    and we coincidentally found
    out it was their hideout.
[14:16] Mere
    Oh? So what brought the Captain of
    the Silver Eagles himself here, then?
[14:23] Nozel
    That's enough idle chatter.
[14:25] Nozel
    You can use your spell from
    this distance, can't you?
[14:28] Shiren
    Indeed.
[14:42] Shiren
    Stone Creation Magic:
    Stone Model of the World.
[14:47] Asta
    That's so cool!
[14:49] Mere
    I see. It's like an ants' nest that
    allows entry from anywhere.
[14:53] Mere
    Seems simple enough to infiltrate.
[14:56] Mere
    I see there are plenty of guys
    around Senior Magic Knight level.
[15:01] Mere
    There's someone with very
    powerful magic in the middle.
[15:04] Mere
    Must be their boss.
[15:07] Asta
    So that's where Licht is...
[15:11] Guy
    Captain Nozel, what is our plan?
[15:14] Nozel
    I am not the Captain of the Royal Knights.
[15:17] nozel
    The one who'll decide that is Mereoleona.
[15:20] ---
    Y-Yes, of course.
[15:22] Mere
    Listen up, all of you!
[15:23] Mere
    If we want to ambush the enemy and
    throw them into a state of chaos,
[15:27] Mere
    we can't let them know
    how many of us there are,
[15:29] Mere
    so splitting up is the best option.
[15:33] Mere
    But the fact that there are so many entrances
[15:36] Mere
    means that the enemy is
    confident in their defense.
[15:39] Mere
    The more we split up, the more that
    may work against us and overwhelm us.
[15:43] Mere
    So where does that lead us?
[15:46] Asta
    Ooh, me!
[15:47] Asta
    We'll overwhelm the enemy even
    more with sheer willpower!
[15:51] Yuno
    We don't need willpower.
    I'll overwhelm them myself.
[15:55] Luck
    I wanna mash them all up!
[15:59] Kirsch
    I shall defeat them beautifully on my own.
[16:03] Mimosa
    I wish you'd just disappear.
[16:04] Noelle
    I'm surrounded by idiots.
[16:06] Klaus
    What's important is balance.
[16:09] Klaus
    The most effective way to get through
    the enemy's defense while split up
[16:13] Klaus
    is to divide into five teams of four.
[16:16] Klaus
    Is that what you're thinking?
[16:18] Mere
    Exactly.
[16:20] Mere
    We will now split up into
    five groups and proceed.
[16:23] Zora
    I'll settle for anyone, as long as I don't
    end up with the crazy stupid shrimp.
[16:28] Asta
    Say what?! That's my line,
    you cool masked jerk!
[16:34] Asta
    Wait.
[16:35] Asta
    No one would want to team up with you anyway,
[16:38] Asta
    so I don't mind teaming
    up with you after all.
[16:41] Zora
    Why do you sound like you're taking
    pity on me, you little shit?
[16:46] Mere
    You're coming with me,
    you damn problem children.
[16:50] Zora
    Hello there, Lady Royal.
[16:51] Zora
    Please accept this rainbow stinkbug
    as a token of our friendship.
[16:55] Asta
    You idiot!
[17:01] Mere
    A stench this weak has no effect on me.
[17:06] Zora
    You sure you want two peasants
    hanging around you, Lady Royal?
[17:12] Asta
    What?! You're a peasant, too?
[17:14] Mere
    I don't care if you're a peasant or royalty.
[17:17] Mere
    I've never given a rat's ass
    about differences in status.
[17:20] Mere
    All that matters is if you're weak or strong.
[17:23] Mere
    You're here because you're strong,
     are you not?
[17:28] Mere
    The fools that Yami selected...
[17:31] Mere
    Don't let me down.
[17:33] Asta
    Yes, ma'am!
[17:35] Zora
    Sure thing. Guess I'll
    be careful, Lady Captain.
[17:40] Mere
    The rest of you should also be proud
    to be chosen as Royal Knights,
[17:43] Mere
    and use your strengths to the fullest.
[17:47] Mere
    I will now assign your positions.
SIGN    Group 1
    En Ringard Nils Ragus Nozel Silva Shiren Tium
[17:50] Mere
    Group 1 will attack from the upper left.
[17:52] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[17:53] Shiren
    As you wish.
SIGN    Group 2

    Asta Mereoleona Vermillion Zora Ideale
[18:06] Mere
    And we're going to attack front and center.
[18:10] Asta
    Yes, ma'am!
[18:12] Mere
    The spatial magic user will stand by here.
[18:15] Cob
    Roger-dodger-roger!
[18:18] Mere
    You'd better put your all into this.
[18:21] Mere
    Let's go!
[18:32] Guy
    Do you know why you're in this mess?
[18:38] Guy
    It's because you're a citizen
    of the Clover Kingdom.
[18:45] Guy
    I was a citizen there myself,
    until not so long ago.
[18:49] Guy
    But...
[18:51] Guy
    I was different.
[18:55] Guy
    Lord Licht gave me my true name.
[19:04] Guy
    We're special, you see.
[19:10] Guy
    So we can do whatever we
    want to trash like you.
[19:27] Luck
    He's way too weak.
[19:29] Luck
    There are stronger guys, right?
[19:31] Kirsch
    Do leave me some chances
    to strike beautifully.
[19:36] Noelle
    Are you all right?
[19:37] Lady
    Thank you so much.
[19:41] (Flashback) Mere
    I'm sure you don't need detailed plans.
[19:45] (Flashback) Mere
    Take down any enemies you encounter
    as you proceed toward the center.
[19:49] (Flashback) Mere
    You may do that
[19:50] (Flashback) Mere
    however you prefer!
[19:55] Mere
    I don't care what you do
    as long as you don't lose.
[20:02] Mere
    Ah, the ants show themselves at last.
[20:07] Mere
    I hear you caused quite a mess at
    the royal capital while I was away.
[20:15] Nozel
    You will not escape like you
    did from a certain cave.
[20:21] Mere
    Eye of the Midnight Sun, we've come...
[20:24] Nozel
    ...to get our revenge.
[20:25] Nozel
    How dare you do that to my rival...
[20:29] Mere
    To my foolish little brother...
[20:32] Both
    You shall pay dearly!
[20:35] Both
    I will be the one to take your leader's head!
[20:40] Asta
    H-Holy crap!
[20:42] Asta
    Wait, do we even need to be here?!
[20:51] Raia
    Looks like someone dangerous showed up.
[20:54] Raia
    Licht is gone right now, too.
[21:01] Raia
    Guess I shouldn't be so lazy
    about this and just go.

[22:44] Guy
    Lord Raia! Lord Raia!
[22:47] Raia
    What's up? Why are you so panicked?
[22:50] Guy
    We're being attacked!
[22:51] Raia
    Sounds like it.
[22:53] Raia
    But it's such a pain to deal with them.
[22:56] Guy
    What?! Please don't be like that!
[22:58] Raia
    It's a pain to get up.
[23:00] Guy
    I shall sit you up.
[23:01] Raia
    It's a pain to put shoes on.
[23:04] Guy
    I shall do that, too!
[23:06] Raia
    It's a pain to stand up.
[23:08] Guy
    Up you go.
[23:10] Raia
    Walking is a huge pain!
    Yeah, I'm not gonna do it.
[23:14] Guy
    What?!
[23:15] Guy
    Please reconsider!
[23:18] Raia
    I think I was sleeping with my mouth open,
     because my throat hurts...
[23:22] Guy
    I'll give you this lollipop!
[23:24] Raia
    What flavor is it?
[23:25] Guy
    A-Apple...
[23:30] Raia
    I guess I shouldn't be so
    lazy about this and just go.
[23:34] Guy
    What would've happened if
    it was an orange lollipop?
[23:39] Raia
    Come to think of it, I wonder how
    Valtos and the others are doing.
