Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King (2023) Movie Script

1
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 kill 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 War 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
Bastard 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, bastards!
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 kill 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 war,
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 kill
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 bastard, 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!
