[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! SIGN    Storming the Eye of the Midnight Sun's Hideout!!! SIGN    The Crimson Lion Kings' Headquarters [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     Ben Benfunk Luck Voltia Noelle Silva Kirsch Vermillion [17:55] Mere     Group 2 will attack from the lower left. [17:57] Luck     'Kay! [17:57] All     Yes, ma'am. SIGN    Group 3     Ruben Shagger Rill Boismortier Fragil Tormenta Puli Angel [17:59] Mere     Group 3 will attack from the upper right. [18:01] All     Yes, ma'am. [18:02] Mere     Group 4 will attack from the lower right. SIGN    Group 4     Klaus Lunettes Mimosa Vermillion Yuno Hamon Caseus [18:04] All     Yes, ma'am! SIGN    Group 5     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. SIGN    Petit Clover [22:36] All     Petit Clover! SIGN    Lazy Raia! [22:41] Sign     Lazy Raia! [22:44] Guy     Lord Raia! Lord Raia! [22:47] Raia     What's up? Why are you so panicked?

[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!
