Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King (2023)

[bunniefuu]

Why?

Why do you get in my way, Julius?!

Because what you're trying to do

is wrong, Conrad.

You must give up.

You don't have enough magic

left in you to resist--

The one who's wrong

is you!

That sword!

The Imperial Sword, Elsdocia!

He shortened his own life?

I must create it.

A world where everyone respects each other

and laughs with one another!

How could I be wrong

to want such a world?!

Is this for real?

Because there is no future

where you're headed.

Even you deny me?!

If you seal me right now,

you'll lose access to the Imperial Sword!

It does pain us

to lose our national treasure.

But we no longer have

enough power to get it back.

I take full responsibility for this

as the next Wizard King.

I won't give up. I will not, Julius!

Never giving up is my

SWORD OF THE WIZARD KING

CLOVER KINGDOM

Welcome, everyone,

to the festival of magic battles

that takes place once a decade,

the Triumph!

The Triumph is a tournament of duels

to decide the strongest Magic Knight!

It's long been said

that the mage who wins this tournament

would eventually be chosen

as the Wizard King!

As you know,

there are nine Magic Knights Squads

consisting of mages

who specialize in battle.

And under the direction

of the Wizard King,

the strongest mages

from the top Magic Knights Squad

protect the peace

of the Clover Kingdom every day.

We will determine

the strongest member of the Magic Knights.

Today is sure to be a memorable day!

Thank you for waiting.

The Triumph commences

Now! Shall we?

By the way, Klaus,

why were we chosen

as the masters of the ceremony?

Because we're members

of the strongest Magic Knights Squad,

the Golden Dawn Squad, of course!

Turn off the Amplification Magic first

before you talk!

Oh my, it totally slipped my mind!

Well pardon the belated introduction.

My name is Mimosa Vermillion,

and I'll be your commentator.

This here is Klaus.

Now is not the time

for introducing ourselves!

Who in the world

chose Mimosa as a commentator?

But, man, look at all these people.

It's almost a full house.

Of course it is. Because, you see

Yuno, my love!

In the first round is Yuno,

the vice captain of the Golden Dawn Squad.

Hooray, hooray, Yuno! Go, go, Yuno!

So Pretty Boy is in the first round.

Of course, everyone wants to see him.

Right?

I only want to see

my dearest little sister, Marie.

As expected from Gauche

Man, I'm so ready to fight too!

I wish Asta could have joined us.

He's in exile because of the demon trial.

What a drag.

Why am I even on the roster?

Go for it!

Oh, here he comes!

What's that?

Hey, who the hell is that?

Up against Yuno is, um

"the Masked One"?

There's no way you could enter

with such a ridiculous name

Oh, you're right.

What's with their getup?

Mocking Yuno, are they?

Festival of magic battles, the Triumph.

The first round is

Yuno vs. the Masked One.

The match begins!

Attaboy, Asta!

The first attack is by Yuno!

He used strong Wind Magic,

but the Masked One cut it in half,

completely neutralizing it!

I guess it's begun.

Well then, Julius, shall we begin as well?

Uh-huh!

Barrier Magic, "Voodoo Shangrila"!

What is this enormous magical power?!

You have no idea how long

I've been waiting for this day.

Today, I will change this country!

How fragile you look, Julius.

I absorbed only a little bit of magic,

and this is the toll it takes on you?

I never expected to meet you again.

I see. So, back then, you

Yes, I hope

you didn't mind me breaking the seal.

You were distracted for a second.

And are you still?

My ambition

has not changed a bit since then.

I must create a world

where everyone can respect each other

and laugh with one another.

And for that

My soldiers, it's time for domination.

We shall overthrow the Clover Kingdom!

Legion Magic: Gehenna Game.

Stop it, Conrad!

All right, old man?

Oh, thank you!

Everyone, this way!

Steel Magic: Fierce Spiral Lance!

Klaus, leave this to me!

Why am I being targeted?!

Yuno!

Jeez, what's up with these guys?!

They totally ruined my perfect disguise!

Here I thought you were some lost kid

from the festival who wandered in.

Who are you calling a kid?!

Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar!

Whoa!

Stupid Asta!

You could have told me

you were participating!

Noelle!

I know you probably can't feel it,

but it seems like everyone here

is getting their magical power absorbed.

Those with little magical power

are unable to move!

Oh no, really?! Are you okay?

I'm a royal!

A little loss of magic is nothing to me!

Well then, that just means

I'll have to work harder than anyone here!

Don't get too carried away.

I got your back!

You just need to look ahead!

Yeah! Thanks!

Those three?

But that's impossible!

You must know them

if you're a Wizard King.

Those three who had their status

as Wizard King revoked

because of their austerity and cruelty

Who the heck are you?! Is this your doing?

What's with this child?

How come he can move?

Uh-huh?

He doesn't have

any magical power to begin with.

No juice to speak of, huh? What a weirdo.

There is no way my soldiers would be

defeated by someone with no magic.

How interesting.

I managed to revive them with my magic

and the power of the Imperial Sword.

Unlike you, those three have become

great supporters of my cause.

The four of us will create a new world!

That's right.

And you're in our way.

Say what?!

I don't know what exactly you're up to,

but I know that you're the bad guys!

I will defeat you!

Aren't you a lively one?

Barrier Magic: Voodoo Regalia!

He neutralized magic?

Conrad, I found a new toy you might like.

You wanna play?

Wizard King, are you all right?!

No, Marx! Stay back!

Well, well, that's interesting magic.

Huh, so he's not gonna answer me.

I take it I should do whatever I want?

Do not hurt him unnecessarily.

Have the decency

to finish him in one blow.

Hey, my toy!

-Asta!

-La!

Thanks, you all!

Oh? Nice magic you got there.

It's useless against a Wizard King.

What can a normal Magic Knight do?

A peasant kid with no magic like him

is a Magic Knight?

It seems things have fallen far, Julius.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Come again?

I don't think we've fallen that much.

Not me, nor the Magic Knights Squads.

Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked

Lightless Blade Storm!

Thanks for waiting!

A strong helper is here to assist you!

Wait, what is this sinister magical power?

It looks like I can paint

another masterpiece based on this!

You're fighting me!

I'll burn you to ashes

with the flame of justice!

That silhouette You must be

Kaiser.

It's been a while.

Captain Yami!

My bad.

I was taking a dump,

and it took me a while so I'm late.

And who are these guys?

Not exactly sure,

but I know they're really bad!

And things are really bad too!

For real? Your vocabulary is really bad.

He isn't wrong, you know.

It'd be difficult

to defeat them as we stand.

One possibility would be

Yami.

Please head to the Magic Tool

Research Lab's Branch Zero right away.

I need you to bring the magic tool

we're co-developing with Nero.

-No, thanks.

-Huh?!

If I went, then who'll have your back?

You're totally vulnerable.

I have no interest in going through

what I did back then again.

Yami

I mean, if that's all you need,

we can send this guy.

-Hey, kid, you're up.

-Huh?

Yo, Finral. You heard him.

Go to Branch Zero with him.

Yes, sir!

But if I went, this place would be

So this is where you were hiding.

Stop running around.

I can't k*ll you swiftly.

Oh?

Stop blubbering and go already!

If you don't come back soon,

I'll kick their butts all by myself!

Yes, sir!

Captain Yami!

Quickly, Asta!

Because of that black barrier,

it's difficult to maintain spatial magic!

You're a member of the Black Bulls Squad!

Listen to your captain!

Nice, Noelle!

Whoa, whoa.

A magic like that exists in this era?

Well, I guess I can analyze it later.

Whoa.

Voiuvre's Roar!

Running away is pointless, I guess.

Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked Black Blade!

Flame Magic: Spiral Flames!

Their defense is getting

harder and harder.

The kids have come far.

No, they've got a long way to go.

A long way to go

before they can fight alongside me.

I'm sorry, I wasn't able to contain them.

No, you've done well.

Thanks to you, I got to send

my guys out on an errand.

Whatever you do, it is pointless.

If the Imperial Sword's magic

is activated,

the Clover Kingdom will be destroyed.

Repeating the same thing

from ten years ago.

Wait, wasn't the Imperial Sword

something that could absorb

and store magical power and stuff?

Is it really possible

to destroy a country with it?

It can unleash

the stored magical power all at once.

Right now, the magical power

absorbed from everyone at the stadium

is stored inside the Imperial Sword.

With his magic,

he could abuse that magical power

and the Imperial Sword as he wishes.

"Abuse"? I'm using it to save the world.

I'd say it's the proper way to use it.

Are you all right, Wizard King?

We have completed

the evacuation of the audience.

All that's left is to defeat the rebels.

Fuegoleon and Nozel.

Have you gotten any stronger?

I never expected to fight

this monster again.

Oh yeah, back then,

Nozel got spooked, fell down,

cried, and soiled his pants, didn't he?

Want me to dunk you in mercury, foreigner?

Hey, those guys weren't there back then.

Who are they?

That woman's magic,

which produces magic soldiers

I remember seeing it

in my great-grandfather's journal.

My sister was captivated by it,

so I remember it well.

No way!

Historical figures who died long ago

Wait, does that mean

former Wizard Kings have returned?

Seriously?

I gotta get their autographs

and scalp them.

The former Wizard Kings have been revived?

It's so strange. I'm awake for a change,

but this is like a dream.

It gives me lots of inspiration!

But maybe now's not the time for that.

You seem to have gathered enough people,

but this is where it ends.

There are countless singular points

where veins of mana interact.

This stadium is one of them.

Ten years ago,

I altered this stadium

and turned it into a weapon.

You all interrupted me

before I could activate it.

The festival stadium.

Also known as

the "Triumph" flying fortress.

Now, there's no way to escape.

Julius, it's time to turn the hands

of the clock you took away from me.

Here we are. This is Branch Zero.

Hey!

I'm Asta from

the Black Bulls Magic Knights Squad!

Open the door!

That won't do, Asta.

Only a limited number of nobles

know about this lab.

To enter, you have to spell out

a secret password with your magic

You are

You must be the Black Bulls.

I'm Millie Maxwell,

the coordinator at this branch.

Come on, hurry up.

Alright!

We've been debriefed about the situation.

From here on, she will show you around.

I'll leave you to it.

Nero!

The magic tool Julius needs

is stored in a place quite far away.

Right now, Sally is making an adjustment.

Experiment, experiment!

So Sally is here too, huh?

Nero, you've watched the Clover Kingdom

over the last 500 years, right?

Do you know the people

who attacked the stadium?

I'm sorry.

I don't know everything, but

the mastermind is Conrad Leto.

What?

I believe you've at least heard the name?

Conrad?

You don't mean

Yes.

He used to be

a Magic Knight of the Clover Kingdom.

He's the predecessor of Julius Novachrono.

A former Wizard King.

But I thought the former Wizard King

died from a disease ten years ago.

I'll explain.

Get on.

Conrad Leto, the 27th Wizard King.

Before he was chosen as the Wizard King,

he was known as a powerful man

in the Clover Kingdom.

He became a Magic Knight captain,

establishing an impressive track record

with his squad.

The citizens trusted him,

and his abilities were recognized.

He was finally chosen

to be the Wizard King.

But he changed.

He rebelled against the Kingdom,

and as a result,

his status as the Wizard King was revoked.

"Rebelled against"?

He tried to destroy the country.

What?! The Wizard King's job

is to protect the peace for everyone.

Why did he try to do something so crazy?

I don't know.

But he used Lemiel's

He used

the first Wizard King's magic item,

the Imperial Sword Elsdocia,

to make it happen.

Julius and the others learned of his plan

and sealed Conrad to stop him.

"Sealed"?

They announced that he died of an illness

so as not to panic the citizens.

The current Wizard King, Julius,

couldn't defeat him, even with all

the Magic Knights Squad elites.

Julius had no choice

but to use his Time Magic

to continue sealing him.

He's incredibly strong.

What kind of magic does he use?

Key Magic.

He can open or close

anything and everything

with a key he creates with his magic.

The magic space he opens with his key

can absorb anything.

Magic tools, grimoires.

Even magic itself

Magic itself?!

What? No way!

Yes.

He can steal the magic of others.

And he can use it as he pleases.

Sealing Magic: Inverse Release.

How far are we going?

The security is extremely tight.

Indeed.

Because beyond this point

This is the innermost part of Branch Zero.

This is where we store and research

the most important magic tools in the lab.

Is what we've been asked to retrieve

also rare?

Yes.

It controls the power

of the Imperial Sword

that Prince Lemiel was developing.

Something that serves as a sheath

for the Imperial Sword.

It's still a prototype,

but we'll have to use it to seal Conrad.

How?!

I had high hopes hearing that

it was a magic tool Lemiel was working on.

But it turns out it was just a toy.

-Don't!

-Sally!

Demon Slayer!

Oh?

Finral!

I know you.

How did you find this place?!

You're Secr Swallowtail,

a member of the Black Bulls Squad.

And you too, Asta.

Noelle Silva.

Finral Roulacase.

Memory Exchange Magic, which allows

you to peek at someone else's memory.

It's a magic of poor taste,

but thanks to that,

I was able to easily locate this place.

You used Marx's

I'll tell you one more thing.

Citizens of the Clover Kingdom!

Surrender immediately

and offer your magical power as a tribute.

Resistance is futile.

My Legion Magic soldiers

will stop at nothing

until their last bit of power is spent!

One of the former Wizard Kings, Princia.

The Imperial Sword is supplying her

with the magical power it stored,

and her magic will have no limit.

The Magic Knights Squads

have been wiped out.

The citizens and the major facilities

of the kingdom have all been seized.

No way

Impressive, no?

Tens of thousands

She can create even more magic soldiers.

You're being invaded by a military power

equal to an entire country.

Those captains who helped you escape

Captain Yami!

As you can see, they just went to sleep.

The people at the stadium

Brother Nozel!

You're the youngest daughter

of the Silvas?

A leftover child

of the Steel w*r Princess,

Acier Silva.

How pathetic of Nozel

to fall before his little sister.

To think that a coward like him

is the Magic Knights Captain!

Sea Dragon's Roar!

Noelle! Dammit!

Oh?

Still rough around the edges,

but this water magic is of high purity.

I will take it.

When there is such a clear difference

in abilities, it's so easy to take magic.

My magic

b*stard What did you do to Noelle?!

Learn this the hard way.

Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar.

That's Noelle's magic

Give it back to her!

I'll defeat you here and now!

So this is Anti-Magic,

the power to neutralize magic.

Demon-Destroyer!

What a wonderful power you possess.

It can neutralize not only magic,

but also phenomena derived from magic.

I'd like to take your magic as well,

but perhaps I should refrain.

I wouldn't want it

to affect my other magic.

Let's talk.

The paths we walk are one and the same.

What the heck are you talking about now?!

Of course they're not!

The magic tool developed by Lemiel,

the first Wizard King,

the Imperial Sword Elsdocia.

It is quite compatible with my Key Magic.

The Imperial Sword was created

to leave behind the exceptional magic

of great mages and heroes

as a legacy for future generations.

It stores every Wizard King's magic

and wisdom,

not to mention a part of their souls.

And one more thing.

Using the function to absorb, store,

and unleash the magical power all at once,

I will compound

the generations of Wizard Kings' magic

FLAME EARTH WATER WIND

with the plethora of magic I've stolen

and create Gargantuan Compound Magic!

Our goal is to drive that

into the vein of the earth here.

It will cause unprecedented disaster.

The foundation of the continent

will be destroyed,

and every single citizen will die.

But have no fear.

The Imperial Sword

can store the departed souls.

So we will select

and bring back only those people

who are valuable enough

to live in the new world!

I've seen it in people's memories.

I was once loathed

and disliked because of my magic.

So I know exactly how you feel.

Those with magical power own everything,

and those without die helplessly.

It's impossible, Asta.

We must destroy everything first.

Join me and together we'll create

an ideal world where everyone respects

each other and laughs with one another!

Everyone who lives there respects

each other and laughs with one another.

That's the country I want to create

when I become the Wizard King!

No!

That's bullshit!

The Wizard King is there

to protect the nation and its people!

I will not let you destroy it!

That's not what the Wizard King does!

An ideal world will be built

upon the meaningless lives

of those who are oppressed.

I can give meaning to their lives!

Why can't you see that?!

Of course I can't!

What you're saying is absolutely crazy!

You don't see

the true nature of the world yet.

I'm disappointed.

Shut up!

You're just thinking of yourself!

Why can't you understand?!

I know you've experienced it!

The unfairness! The betrayal!

And the inequality of this country!

Choose, Asta.

Walk this path with me

or die.

Give up already, Asta.

You are me.

You can be me.

By dawn tomorrow,

the fusion of magic will be complete.

At that point, you will be

Give Noelle back her magic

I see.

It's truly regrettable.

I will

not give up.

Never giving up

is my magic!

I have no magical power left.

What do I do?

But we still have to give it a try!

You you're Yuno!

Millie!

He insisted he came to help you all.

Drink up, Sally!

Okay.

Sorry, but we'll have to play this by ear.

Play it by ear?

Sounds fun!

Not at all.

It's the phrase

I hate the most in the world.

Yuno

I never thought I'd use it like this,

but let's try and activate it

with all the magic we have!

Nonsense.

It may be. But

I can hit you thanks to everyone's help!

Sealing Magic: Eternal Prison!

He's a monster!

We'll retreat for now!

It's me. How is the fusion of magic going?

Uh-huh? We're at about 20%.

Generally speaking, it's going well.

It should be completed by dawn,

as scheduled.

Understood.

Thank you.

For walking this path with me.

Finally, we'll create it.

The strongest country

with no tears and where no one

is robbed of what they have!

Once again, save the poor lost souls

What I seek is a world

where no one oppresses or is oppressed.

I trust that you can achieve that, Conrad.

Yes.

How about the veins?

Uh-huh? I found the perfect one.

It's at a village called Hage,

in the Forsaken Realm

where the demon's skeleton lies.

My Key Magic is useless

unless I borrow someone's power.

That's why it is meaningful

that I'm the one who finishes this.

One day, I will even change this country.

Never giving up is my magic!

Never giving up

Where am I?

Oh, Noelle!

You're awake.

I'm sorry that all I could provide

was first aid.

Mimosa.

You're safe.

This is a Golden Dawn emergency shelter.

It's still under construction,

so only a few members know about it.

We were almost captured

and our magic stolen,

but the captains let us escape.

Take care of the kid for me.

I don't know what happened afterwards,

but if they're not here yet

Hey, are you okay?

Asta! Please excuse me.

Asta!

You should not move

until the treatment is over.

Conrad needs to be stopped.

He's going to destroy this kingdom.

If we don't do something,

it will happen tomorrow at dawn!

At dawn?

But if the enemies are so formidable

Why would a former Wizard King

What could we possibly do by ourselves?

What could we do?

Now that it's come to this,

we should run away!

There's nothing we can do with so few,

and who knows when they'll find us here!

Let's run!

To some other country!

Maybe the Heart Kingdom will take us in.

This is not a problem we alone can solve

Yes, we could ask other nations for help.

There are injured people.

Getting them to the border would be tough.

If the enemy is the former Wizard King,

do we have any chance of winning?

With Julius gone

What could we do by ourselves?

We gotta do something!

If we cave in,

then who will protect this kingdom

and everyone in it?

Aren't we the Magic Knights Squads

of the Clover Kingdom?!

We've been able to live

happily and peacefully

thanks to the Wizard King

and the Magic Knights Squads!

Before we joined, or when we were kids,

or even before we were born,

the Magic Knights Squads

were fighting for us.

And the Wizard King has stood

at the helm to protect this kingdom.

It's thanks to those efforts

made by one person for another

that the Clover Kingdom exists now.

That's why we are here!

Asta

I can't just sit and watch!

It's my turn to protect

what the Wizard King

and the captains have protected!

But it's not just me. It's our turn!

I can heal an injury like this

with my fighting spirit!

And then I will kick his butt,

for real this time!

With all of us, we can stop Conrad!

We may not be strong enough by ourselves,

but if we come together,

we can become an immense force!

That's why we,

the Magic Knights Squads, are strong!

If all the Magic Knights Squads

join their power,

we could face any enemy!

I'm not forcing you to come with me.

Like Sekke said,

you can still escape to the Heart Kingdom

or elsewhere if you go now.

But if any of you

is willing to lend me your power

Jeez, what you suggest is so reckless.

But coming from you, who's trying to do

the most reckless thing,

I guess I can't say no.

I'm not letting you go alone.

Not a chance.

The Wizard King isn't here!

We don't have the captains to rely on!

But that doesn't matter!

Now it's our turn to carry on!

We'll fight on their behalf!

I'll say it again.

We are the Magic Knights Squads

of the Clover Kingdom!

Right here, right now!

We'll surpass our limits,

and protect this country!

Yeah!

And what is the actual plan?

I'm going to figure that out now!

What?!

I can't take this anymore, bwa-ha!

Now that it has come to this,

I have to escape, even if it's just me!

Huh?

Bwa-ha!

Without any plans

Stop boasting, you imbecile!

Lady Big-sis-leon! Everyone else, too!

I didn't know you were alive! Ouch!

Who are you calling "Big-sis-leon"?

And don't assume I'm dead.

I was away for training.

But it seems

something fun is going on.

I've also been away

on a mission with Jack.

Which is why I didn't get caught by

pursuers and was able to arrive here.

Same for me.

We must go rescue everyone.

Hehe.

Some of the people who went on a mission

with us are fine as well.

They're out there,

surveilling that huge flying fortress.

It looks like Yami

and the other captains are alive.

They're trapped inside a barrier though.

Captain Yami!

My brother Nozel!

Yami! I'm so glad!

But I don't get it.

Why have the enemy captured

the citizens and the Magic Knights Squads

but are keeping them alive?

Because they need their magical powers.

If they absorb power through the Sword

and supply it to their members,

they will never run out of magical power.

Hehe, so they're the feed.

Oh man! He also mentioned

that he needs lots of magical power

for his crazy ambition to come true!

So that's why he's keeping them alive.

So if their magical power runs out,

Yami and the others will be

We don't have much time left.

Asta, everyone.

Let's join forces

to take back this kingdom.

-Yes, sir!

-Yes, sir!

Before we do, we must eat-la!

Oh! Charmy, you're okay!

Yup. Thanks to Rouge and Captain Yami,

who let me escape.

Oh! You all!

Noelle, I'm glad you're okay.

Our base was trapped

inside the barrier as well.

Henry and Gordon are trapped inside,

but they're okay for now.

Then,

we gotta go get them, right?

The base of the Black Bulls

The Imperial Sword has collected

the magical power of all the citizens,

which will be driven into

a "singular point" vein of mana.

Ha! Then that's the end for this kingdom.

The enemy Wizard Kings

must have been revived with

the Imperial Sword and Conrad's magic.

So if we destroy the Imperial Sword,

do we stop the power of the Wizard Kings?

Judging from Conrad's actions,

that's highly likely.

Very well!

The final goal is to destroy

the Imperial Sword and neutralize it!

Go and prepare for encountering the enemy!

We don't have much time before dawn,

our time limit!

I still can't use

the spells in my grimoire,

but thanks to Charmy,

my magic has returned.

I'll focus on what I can do now!

Yuno!

Are you ready, Asta?

Yeah!

BLACK BULLS SQUAD BASE

This is strange. When I got back

from training, there was only Henry here.

And former Wizard Kings have been revived,

and they've taken over the capital

I'm going to retake the base!

First, we will go and rescue

those at the Black Bulls base.

Are you sure?

This plan depends on how much

fighting power we can preserve.

For that, we need something that allows us

to move safely but in large numbers.

I see.

Don't you get it?

At your base, that's possible.

But Conrad is a formidable foe

who uses many types of magic at will.

Normal magic attacks will be canceled out.

And that's where you come in, Asta.

Since you have Anti-Magic,

which neutralizes any kind of magic,

only you have the chance to defeat Conrad.

This is the key point of the plan.

Please stop Conrad. Can I count on you?

Yes, sir!

All right!

Welcome back, everyone.

And we have so many guests

That's the story, Henry.

Can you do it?

Okay!

Well then! You recover

the magic you lost by eating-la!

I've never felt

this much magical power before!

Cool!

So this is the flying style

of the Black Bulls!

Is this really going to fly?

If there's enough magical power,

I think it will--

More than we expected, huh?

Hehe!

Severing Magic

Death Scythe: Lunatic Slash!

Briar Magic

Crimson Vine Spear.

A drop in a bucket, was it?

Hehe! How annoying.

What?!

Bwa-ha!

Hehe! Looks like this is worth severing!

We will stop them here!

You all go on ahead!

Captain Jack! Captain Charlotte!

This will be pointless if you go!

But those two alone couldn't

It might be impossible, yes.

Then,

how about three?

World Tree Magic

Great Mistilteinn Tree!

Now, go while you can!

Captain Vangeance!

Are you ready?

Yuno.

I'm leaving the Wizard King in your care.

Well then,

let's have the barbarous guests leave.

Listen up, everyone!

We are minus three captains,

but we'll head into enemy territory

No, Asta.

You tell them.

Okay, let's go, everyone!

We'll kick their butts

and get the Clover Kingdom back!

Yeah!

A report from my soldiers.

The rebels have started to move.

How shall I deal with them?

So you're here.

That's right. I knew you would come.

It is time for the finale.

I saved you the best seat.

Is that why you kept me alive until now,

even after I've lost most of my power?

Those you love, those you want to protect.

Burn into your eyes the image of

your trusted ones dying miserable deaths.

Die as you agonize

over how powerless you are.

This is the beginning

of a new Clover Kingdom.

Let us turn a new page!

What is that?!

Whoa, it's enormous!

It's incomparable to the one that was

at the Magic Knights Squad base!

Everyone, look!

Well, well, let me see

the last squeeze of power you have.

And let me teach you

that the Wizard King

is never caught off-guard!

So, what are you going to do?

This is the power of the Wizard King?

It's in another league! What should we do?

Asta!

It's not your turn yet!

What do we do?

More like, what don't we do?

We've always surpassed our limits, right?

Ready, you guys?

-Let's show him what we're made of!

-Yeah!

Flame Magic: Exploding Fireball!

Lightning Magic: Thunderbolt Destruction!

Poison Magic: Forbidden Fruit!

Everyone!

Are you ready?

Yeah!

Mirror Magic: Large Reflect Refrain!

Go!

Bwa-ha! Again?!

Now's the chance!

Spatial Magic: Fallen Angel Gate!

Well, well.

Whoa, whoa, we're about to arrive

at the enormous barrier!

The space is shut off from here on,

so I can't break through with my magic.

So, I'm counting on you.

I know you can do this.

Asta!

Stop running around!

Thanks for voluntarily walking

into the trap.

Magic like this will not--

Sealing Magic: Eternal Prison!

Finral, now! Do it quickly!

Alright! Not said this in a while,

but remember I'm your senior!

Good. Now

Didn't I tell you?

I'm never caught off-guard!

Thank you so much!

Uh-huh? This special barrier has been

fortified with the Imperial Sword,

so even if it gets broken,

it'll regenerate and not be a problem.

To create the perfect world, we should

get rid of those who get in our way.

This is the end!

For you!

I love it, I love it! Struggle for me.

Mana Zone: Fangs of Riot

Double Attacks!

Was that supposed to hurt me?!

Now! Fire at will!

One more time!

Are you ready?

I love it, you guys.

Bring it on!

-Go!

-Go!

Ha! Are you serious?

You guys are amazing!

However!

Everyone!

I'm counting on you, Asta!

You defeat him!

Alright! I'm off!

Hey, check that out.

Conrad?!

Why is he there?

Oh, the singular point

Is it the skeleton of a demon?

Uh-huh!

Don't you dare get in our way!

Asta! You go to Conrad!

Give him all you got!

Yeah!

Let's go, Bell!

I'm ready!

Going all out!

Spirit Assimilation

Spirit Dive!

All units! Get into your positions!

Just as planned, we succeeded

in splitting the enemy force!

Now each of you will fight to the end

with the pride of a Magic Knights Squad!

If you don't,

then you have me to answer to!

And not one of you

is allowed to die either.

If you slack off, or if you die,

then I will burn you to death myself!

Listen well, all of you.

If you don't want to die,

then fight on, even if it kills you!

-Let's go!

-Yeah!

No tricks to speak of

for fighting against me?

Just my luck to have

such a boring fool as my enemy.

"Tricks"?

Why would I need tricks to face you?

Princia Funnybunny.

A mighty warrior among the Wizard Kings,

whose combat strength

is worth a thousand soldiers!

The records say that you've never lost

in any combat where you were involved.

Why would I rely on some silly tricks

when facing such a foe!

Very well, I take back my words.

Legion Magic: Endless Domination!

If you want me to play with you,

then show me your strength first.

A test of strength?

I accept the challenge.

But I hope you don't hold back on me!

Next

Where are you aiming?

Did you actually think

you managed to lure me in?

Just the opposite, silly you!

I'm the one who lured you here.

The truth is,

we can use the magical power

that's fueling this flying fortress

as our own!

So, as long as I'm in here,

I can replenish my magic endlessly!

And you think you've won just for that?

Against us?

"Us"?

Hey, hey, Pretty Boy.

Didn't anyone teach you

that a damsel in distress

should be rescued gently?

I'm a Virgo, you know!

The earlier attack

This is what he was aiming for.

I'll remember that.

Are you ready to go?

Can't have my subordinates taking risks

without me, the captain,

surpassing my limits first, can I?

Right, you guys?

You don't need to tell me.

We will show you the might

of the Magic Knights Squads, here and now!

Yuno! We will back you up!

You focus on attacking!

Uh-huh?

Don't make me yawn,

you nearly dead idiots.

These guys here have been kept alive

so that we could suck their magical power

to fuel the fortress.

They have little magical power left.

And?

Is your grit going to help

regain your magical power?

Huh? Surpassing limits?

You can't get strong that quickly!

You called yourself Wizard King

when you didn't even know that?

Unbelievable.

Bring it on, b*stards!

Flame Magic: Prison Death Scattershot!

Here it is! Grey!

Okay!

Magic Conversion!

Thank you

I can't use strong magic,

but I can manage this much

without my grimoire

Looks like we can handle this.

Right.

The revived Wizard Kings

and the magic to destroy this kingdom

If Asta can touch the Imperial Sword

with his Demon-Slayer Sword,

they can all be neutralized.

All we have to do is to stop them

until he can do that!

How pitiful

I'm saying this for your sake.

Surrender now.

And, please, leave

and go somewhere out of our sight.

That's mighty nice of you.

Isn't it your purpose to k*ll us off?

If you were nobles and royals

who only think of benefitting themselves,

then I'd have no mercy for you.

But your hearts aren't impure like theirs.

Retreat now!

If you promise not to get in our way,

I will let you go.

That means,

"Just shut up and watch

as this country breaks apart," right?

In that case

We would not retreat even if it kills us!

Being foolish is pitiful.

Ice Wedge Magic: World End Church.

And here you thought you could beat me

with this level of magical power.

My mana zone allows me

to lower the temperature

of a space to below freezing!

Amateurs won't be able

to even breathe in this space!

Move

I don't understand.

You were also oppressed by this world.

Why do you reject our ideas?!

Don't underestimate us

Everyone's giving their all to survive.

Even if it's hard, they're not giving up!

You have no right to take away

the lives of people like that!

Indeed.

No one has the right to do so.

And that's why I must do what I must.

In order to create a world

where those without magic

and outsiders can smile as they live!

But that doesn't justify--

Being weak is also pitiful.

Legion Magic: Blink Castling.

It's useless. You will never reach me.

Go to sleep.

I refuse.

I just need to burn everything down.

Mana Zone

Full Release!

Flame Magic

Calidos Brachium

Purgatory!

Now!

Time to play!

Your name was Mereoleona, was it?

You made me use my fist.

You are very interesting.

It's not often

that I get to use this on someone.

Very good, Mereoleona.

I will admit it.

You are strong!

But not as strong as me!

What are we going to do, Yuno?

At this rate,

Yami and the others won't last.

I know!

Captain Nozel!

Yuno, don't try to do something you can't.

You are strong.

Try and face

what you are capable of right now.

Don't worry about us.

Please buy me a little more time!

I'll finish him with the next blow!

Hey, hey, beardy macho man!

Did you run out of energy at the start?

Your taste in nicknames is horrible!

No matter how you look at it,

I'm obviously more of

a "cute and girly" kind of macho!

Don't you know any other moves?

This guy

He's pouring all his magical power

into this blow!

You powered your way through after all.

A rather unrefined move, Pretty Boy!

Aren't you interesting?!

So you've been protecting

this land all these years

Lemiel.

The world you envisioned,

I will make it come true.

Conrad!

So you've arrived, Asta!

You were a little too late, Asta.

This is

Stop!

the end.

And a new beginning for this world!

Give up, Asta.

I drove the magic of the Imperial Sword

into the singular point.

No one can stop

the destruction of this kingdom!

Not yet!

I'll pull that sword out

and kick your butt!

I'm really persistent.

If I decide to do something,

I'll do it even if it kills me!

It's you who should give up!

Then you understand me, Asta.

-Never giving up is my magic!

-Never giving up is my magic!

If someone like you had been around me,

then my loneliness

may not have been as bad,

Mereoleona.

Hey.

The battle

is not over yet!

Impossible!

Her power increased?!

You!

How can you still move?

Ugh, Big-sis-leon.

What's up! Lady Mereoleona!

Good morning, big sister!

Good morning, Lady Mereoleona!

Big sister!

It's my grit!

Also,

if I kick the bucket in a place like this,

they'll surely laugh at me!

And one more thing!

Unless I stay the strongest,

I won't be able to call

a certain someone "my rival"!

Drawing strength from your comrades

That sure is a trick I'll never learn.

However

Well done, Mereoleona.

To think that I'd lose in a fist fight.

You just might be

strong enough to fight me

when I go all out!

Oh man, you're really strong.

You even made me use my trump card.

Had I met you when I was the Wizard King,

I might have made you my advisers.

Maybe!

You are wrong!

Don't give me that crap.

No one knows

what's right and what's wrong!

We're the same as you!

Conrad and I, we fight for our beliefs!

I get that!

In a fight like this,

there's no right or wrong!

But to protect what matters to us

we both plant our feet and fight!

Combo Spell

Dimension Slash!

Scorching Light!

I won't lose

I won't lose to something like this!

That's too bad!

Asta, I'm borrowing your skill!

I hate losing more than anything too!

Whatever.

I don't care about preserving

magical powers for the fortress anymore.

I'll use all my power to crush you all!

Reconsider, Asta.

This crazy world is not worth protecting.

Let's build a new world together!

I don't care about your new world!

My dream is to become the Wizard King!

Nonsense.

Becoming a Wizard King in this world

will change nothing.

That's right.

Nothing

All routes are shut down.

Your sword will never reach me.

No matter how you struggle,

this is your limit.

I'll say it one last time.

Come with us, Asta.

You can be my successor.

Become the Wizard King in the new world.

Not in a million years!

Someone can't turn you

into the Wizard King.

You become one on your own merits!

And there is a way!

If there isn't,

I'll make one!

I've always been told

to surpass my limits!

That was a good hit.

So I didn't parry and took it.

Along with your ambition.

But playtime is over, Asta.

If we can't walk the same path together,

then there is no point

in holding back anymore.

Asta.

The biggest reason I asked you to join us

is not because of your power.

Nor is it because

you were in the same boat as me.

I wanted you,

who has the same ambition as me,

to be rewarded!

But I was not able

to open your eyes to the truth.

How regrettable

I'm neutralizing him with my Anti-Magic,

but I can't keep up!

Now!

I've been waiting

for the moment you'd take it easy

and drop your guard!

Exploding Fireball!

From there, Flame Bondage Formation!

Full Reflection!

Ice Wedge Magic

World End Martyr!

This is what

"taking it easy" means!

You learn something new every day,

don't you, young one?

Thanks for nothing, old fart!

Hurry up, Asta!

Our magic won't last much longer!

Black Hurricane!

It's admirable how you can

keep your spirits up,

but your movements are getting slow!

One Horn Bull Thrust!

No matter how much you struggle,

this gap between us will never be filled!

This is the power of the Wizard King!

I will never

acknowledge a guy like you

as the Wizard King!

Crap, if I let my guard down,

my Black form will become undone.

I need to land a hit

with everything I've got left!

Stop seeing your dreams

in the Wizard King!

No one, not even the first Wizard King,

has been able to bring

revolution to this kingdom.

In fact, far from changing the nation,

Julius ended up getting beaten

by the Elves in the earlier w*r,

and the Clover Kingdom

almost faced its doom.

They can't protect anything.

They can't change anything.

Wizard Kings are utterly useless!

That's not true

The current Wizard King protected

all the citizens in exchange for his life!

Same with the first Wizard King!

He protected everyone

at the expense of his life,

and even after that,

for hundreds of years,

he kept on sleeping

so he could help us and this country!

Clover leaves each represent

faith, hope, and love.

Within the fourth leaf dwells good luck.

In the fifth leaf resides the devil.

Is he about to die again?

Man, what a piece of work.

I guess I'll get the payment

in a lump sum later.

You became the Wizard King

because a lot of people acknowledged you,

didn't you?

Betraying those people

makes you unfit to be one!

I won't acknowledge you!

Wizard Kings inspire people!

They can be someone's hopes and dreams!

They are not useless at all!

You don't understand

the true nature of this country yet.

The discrimination and prejudice

rampant in this country

have crushed people's dreams

and hopes again and again!

Unless we make a fundamental change,

this country will not change!

That's not for you to decide!

Right now,

regardless of their social status,

everyone from peasants to royals

is working hard together

to make this a better country!

So don't get in our way!

A country cannot change

with such simple measures!

Don't get in my way!

What the hell?

I'm not sure what's going on,

but I feel like

I finally got to talk to the real you.

Shut up.

I'm no longer interested in listening to

pipe dreams from a kid who knows nothing!

Crap! My Black form is coming undone!

True, there was a time

when I trusted the country and its people

and tried to bring changes

to the Clover Kingdom as the Wizard King.

But people betray you.

You must know what that's like.

Just because a small portion

of your community changed,

do you seriously think

that a whole country will change?

It's not that they change.

It's that we bring change together!

The world you're trying to create

is an egotistical world

where you're the only one who's laughing!

I want to laugh with everyone.

I want to become happy with everyone!

I will change this country with everyone!

A country where everyone who lives there

respects each other

and laughs with one another!

That's what I'm going to create!

My magic is back!

Noelle!

Water Creation Magic: Valkyrie Armor!

Yeah!

What a futile struggle.

You defying us only pushes us

away from an ideal world!

Why can't you see that?!

An ideal world

isn't something that's forced upon you.

It's something you earn yourself!

Noelle! Look at me!

Mirror Magic

Mirror Brigade!

I used to resent this world as well.

I couldn't learn to control

my magical powers

and was abandoned by my family.

I thought I was alone in the world.

But I now have friends

who make me feel I belong!

They accept me with my shortcomings,

and they stay right beside me

as we move forward!

Combo Spell

Mirror Meteo

Dragon!

Magic Conversion!

Ice to Water!

Right here, right now

Fate Manipulation

Absolute Evasion!

Spatial Magic: Fallen Angel's Wingbeat!

I will surpass my limits!

Jeez.

Just go already!

Leave it to me!

The world can be changed.

Fate can be manipulated!

I will not let you destroy

even the possibility of it!

How about that?

If that's not enough for you,

then I can do this all day.

But

Start over with us, together.

I don't mean to boast,

but I can't do anything

without everyone's help!

I nearly died many times,

but I was able to come this far

with their help!

Shut up!

I want to create a world where everyone

can laugh together in a way

that everyone can accept.

If you have to k*ll

a lot of people to create it,

no one will accept that!

You What is your name?

Noelle. Noelle Silva.

From the royal house of Silva

I see.

You're a good girl, Noelle.

You're a royal, and yet

you can empathize with the weak.

If a person like you exists,

then surely this world

Hey, hey, hey

Are you serious, Conrad?

I can still fight!

Me too.

But it looks like

it's my turn to go to sleep.

It was a lot of fun.

I did it

I did it!

Everyone!

Not yet

Not yet

It's a forbidden spell

that's activated in exchange for my life.

Doom's Gate.

I will not give up.

I will not give up, Asta.

I will not give up either.

I'm going to be the Wizard King.

In order to be the Wizard King

I am!

Right here!

Asta!

Asta, take this.

The Wizard King!

You won't need an explanation.

That sword will show you.

The future of this nation

The space

is in your hands.

I feel it.

This is everyone's power!

Their hopes and dreams!

I feel everyone

everyone is there!

Master Nacht, please stop it!

You've been working non-stop

since you got back to the Clover Kingdom!

If you give away your magical power

on top of that, you'll pass out!

I don't mind passing out

if that means someone

who's doing the right thing gets rewarded.

Right here

Right now

Let's all

surpass our limits.

The Imperial Sword?

What is going on?

Go, Asta!

With this

You b*stard, how badly

do you want to destroy this country?!

Oh, you have no idea!

It needs to be destroyed!

This nation is rotten to its core.

The very foundation of it

needs to be destroyed.

I have to save everyone. I must!

Who exactly do you mean by "everyone"?!

All those who are unreasonably oppressed!

For their sake, I

I will

I will

Even if you're a peasant

or don't have magical power,

you can be stronger

than anyone else in the world.

You can be everyone's hope!

And to prove it

I am going to be

the Wizard King!

Did I lose?

Then why

why do I feel so at ease?

Now I see it.

Asta. Become the Wizard King.

Share that warm world of yours

with every citizen in this nation.

Never giving up is your magic.

I know you can

You all

I see.

Cheerful and honest,

he knew how to empathize with the peasant.

Conrad used to be

a strong, kind man like Asta.

But he was framed by the royalists,

and ever since his squad

and his wife were slaughtered,

he changed.

Asta.

Thank you for stopping him.

Why was I able to use

the Imperial Sword at the end?

What do you mean?

When I hit the Imperial Sword

with my Demon-Slayer Sword,

the magic of the Imperial Sword

must've been neutralized.

So I was wondering

Well, that's because

Generations of Wizard Kings

generations of Wizard Kings

lent you their miraculous power.

Wow, that sounds so cool!

Silly, he's teasing you.

That's not true!

Generations of Wizard Kings.

The clovers responsible for the future

of this kingdom are growing up nicely.

-You making fun of Prince Lemiel?

-How about it, Asta?

The Wizard King is incredible, right?

I knew that, sir!

And one day,

I'll be that incredible myself.

I will become the Wizard King!

Don't you be slacking here.

I worked my butt off, you know?!

The place was a total shambles,

but it looks like things might be

restored sooner than I thought.

Yeah.

Conrad was the Wizard King, too, huh?

Ouch!

Not a chance.

You're right!

I'm going to be the Wizard King, anyway.

No, I will!

I'm going to be the Wizard King!

-Can't hear you.

-Don't ignore me!

Wanna go?

The Triumph was canceled,

but you and me gotta settle this match!

Not a chance.

I'm going to be the Wizard King!
