Black Clover (2017) s01e11 Episode Script

[NARRATOR]
Threatened by a ruthless demon,
humanity was on the
brink of destruction.
[NARRATOR] All seemed
lost until a lone mage
stepped forward and
took up the fight.
[NARRATOR]
After his triumph, he was hailed
as the Wizard King,
and his story became legend.
[ASTA]
How do ya like that?
I may be a commoner, but I won!
Yeah! How do ya like that, huh?!
Hey, man, are you all right?
He is such a fool,
and a reckless one, at that.
[ASTA snoring]
[MAGNA] About time you
woke up, you sadistic jerks.
[HEATH] This spell of his
appears to be blocking my magic.
Just wait--you're gonna
spill everything.
Who you people are,
what you're after.
The Magic Knights'll
get it every last
scrap of information outta you!
[HEATH]
They will not.
The end times are upon us.
Engage Ice Magic: Ice Burial.
[ASTA, MAGNA, NOELLE gasp]
They were willing
to go that far?
What was he thinking?
How could they?
Treating life like it's
something to throw away
[YAMI laughs]
Sounds like ya had your
hands full, all right.
[laughs]
[NOELLE]
What's he so happy about?
Somebody died back there.
Sorry, Captain, but is this
really the time to be laughing?
Why not, kid?
Is bein' sad gonna
bring Seihi back? Huh?
No. You're exactly
right, Yami, sir.
Seihi wouldn't want our sorrow.
He was a man of laughter.
Come on. Let's laugh
for the old guy.
[laughs]
[MAGNA]
Your turn.
--[forced laughing]
--[NOELLE] Uh
That's it!
[BOTH forced laughing]
C'mon, No-No!
[ALL forced laughing]
Okay, that's enough.
It's a real shame
what happened to Seihi,
but you protected the villagers.
Hold your heads high.
You did a good job.
So be proud of yourselves,
you idiots.
[BOTH]
Sir!
Thank you.
[laughs]
Hey, what are you
doing with your hand?
Are you kidding me?
You seriously don't know
the Magic Knight salute?
Well, take a good look.
These fingers represent the
three leaves of a clover.
Go on. You try.
Does this look right?
[MAGNA]
Yeah, not bad!
[FINRAL]
We're back!
We heard about Saussy Village.
Good work out there.
Thanks! It was a tough
mission, but we did our best.
[FINRAL]
We visited the
Magic Investigation
Department, Captain.
Yeah? Good.
Did you learn anything?
Like who the hell that guy was?
I'll find his hideout
and tear it apart.
And the same thing goes
for the one that got away.
Yeah, about that guy.
The investigators
checked the area
and went over the
things he left behind.
But so far, no dice.
Ugh! What good are they, then?
[YAMI]
That's enough! Hear me?
Quit breaking everything!
[MAGNA]
Sorry, sir!
That pocket watch
was pretty nice--
not something just
anybody would own.
That's true.
Also, based on the remarks
he made about commoners,
I'd say we're looking at
someone of fairly high rank.
Royalty, or at least nobility.
[VANESSA]
Oh! Who's this? Cutie pie!
What's so cute about this pest?
Um, only everything!
[yelps]
[ASTA]
Hey!
Come here, little one!
[gasps]
Ugly, feathered little nuisance.
I'm gonna fry you up for dinner!
You won't lay so much
as a finger on him!
[ASTA]
Say your prayers, birdie!
[NOELLE]
I told you to leave him alone!
[YAMI]
Are you two trying to destroy
the whole building, here?
[NOELLE, ASTA]
Sorry, Captain, sir!
[NOELLE]
Although you're the one
who's doing most of the damage.
[YAMI] Okay, everybody.
Shut up and listen.
Doesn't make a difference
if the guy is royalty,
nobility, or whatever.
We'll leave the investigation
to the pros and wait for
the report to come in.
Now that's settled. I've got
some good news for you.
[ASTA, NOELLE]
Good news? About what?
[YAMI]
You wanna hear?
Yeah, of course we do!
[YAMI] Believe it or not,
the Wizard King himself
has recognized your efforts.
The Wizard King?
For your work in Saussy Village,
he awarded us a star.
A star? Seriously? Go us!
We got a star!
Wow, nice.
Congrats, you three!
[ASTA]
So, what does the star mean?
You're celebrating when
you don't even know?
It's a symbol.
The Wizard King
gives them to people
who perform great deeds.
Oh, wow! So, what's it good for?
[VANESSA]
Uh. Well, I mean, it's an honor.
That's so awesome!
Ya get it now?
It's an honor. A real
medal for us real men.
And woman, too, don't forget.
A medal for us
real men and woman!
You make no sense half the time.
It's a competition, too.
The squads all vie to see
who can get the most.
It's an indicator of
a squad's achievement.
The more stars you have,
the more successful you are.
Whoa! I guess they're
a really big deal then, huh?
[VANESSA]
Right now the Golden Dawn's
ranked highest in terms
of stars. They've got 70.
[ASTA]
Seventy? What about us?
How many do the
Black Bulls have?
We can't be that far behind!
How many do we have?
With this one, we're officially
at negative 30 now.
[ASTA]
"Negative"?
[NOELLE]
What?!
Finally, an even hundred away
from catching up to the Dawn.
A hundred away?!
[ASTA]
One hundred stars?!
We have some serious
catching up to do
if we're gonna beat
your squad, Yuno!
Not happening.
[NOELLE] How do you even
get negative stars?
What am I doing in this squad?
All right, just one more thing.
Your wages for this month.
[gasps] No way!
There's so much money!
There's, like, 200,000 yul here!
[MAGNA]
Thank you, Captain!
Yeah, thank you, Captain Yami!
This'll buy so many treats!
It's gonna be yummy!
Sure, eat up, Charmy.
Captain, let's make a deal.
How much do I have to give ya
for you to fight me?
Come on, name your price!
Give it up, kid.
Aw! That's no fair.
Now that we've been paid,
I'd like to use the money
to buy some clothes
for my angelic
little sister, Marie.
What do you think
would suit her, Captain?
Like I would know.
[growls]
[YAMI]
No clue.
You've got the day
off tomorrow, everybody.
Don't blow through
all your wages.
I'm going to fit in
as many dates as possible.
[YAMI]
Heh. Whatever you want.
[YAMI chuckles]
[BLACK BULLS]
Thanks a lot, Captain Yami!
[GORDON mumbling] Thank you,
Captain. Payday's the best.
It'd be nice to go somewhere
to celebrate together.
Right? What do you
say, everybody?
Who's coming with me?
Barely pocket change.
Wha--? Are you kidding me?!
This could buy ten years'
worth of pop-potatoes, easy!
And what in the world
are "pop-potatoes?"
[ASTA] They're a hearty crop
grown in Hage Village.
A bit on the lumpy side
with a real subtle flavor.
They sound disgusting.
Well, they're not, at all!
Everything that Sister Lily
cooks with them comes out great!
Who is that?
The beautiful woman I've decided
I'm going to marry someday.
[NOELLE]
What?
"Sister" means she's
a woman of the cloth.
You do know they can't marry?
[yelps] I'll make
it work somehow.
It's all about
surpassing my limits!
[NOELLE]
Are you insane?
Congratulations on
your first payday!
So, whatcha gonna spend it on?
[gasps]
[NOELLE]
Nothing special.
And what about you?
Oh, I'm, um, sending
it to the church.
Back in Hage, where I'm from.
Good! That's what
a real man does, Asta.
Helps his family.
Yeah, I'm pumped about it!
Are you sending yours
back home, too, Magna?
[MAGNA]
You bet I am! Well, kinda.
Whaddaya mean?
After I've got 100 times more.
[NOELLE]
He never learns.
Go big or go home!
That's what a real man does!
A really stupid man.
That I believe.
It's good to help out back home,
but don't send it all, kiddo.
You should use a little
of it on yourself.
Okay, I guess I can do that.
But, how, exactly?
Oh, that's easy!
We'll go shopping in
the castle town tomorrow.
It'll be so much fun.
[ASTA, NOELLE]
Shopping?
I'll take care of you,
don't you worry.
[NOELLE, ASTA]
Uh
[pen scratching]
[ASTA]
"Dear Sister Lily,
How are you? I'm doing great.
The other Black Bulls
are really nice.
They look out for me."
All right, stand
here for me a sec.
Uh, what's going on?
Just keep real still.
Flame Magic:
My Exploding
Fire ball!
[yelps]
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!
[MAGNA]
I told you to keep still!
[ASTA]
I'm trying, I'm trying!
[ASTA]
"I'm working hard.
I did so well on my first
mission that the Wizard King
gave us a star
as a commendation.
Isn't that awesome?
If this keeps up,
who knows what could happen?
I might even be the
Wizard King by next month!
Once I am, I'll
make this a world
where everyone can be happy,
no matter where they come from.
And then, I'll
come back for you.
So, please. Marry me!"
Oh, yeah.
"I had my first payday,
so I'm sending some yul."
There!
Letter done! Not too shabby,
if I do say so myself.
Sister Lily will be moved
to tears when she reads it!
[ASTA] That's his castle.
The Wizard King.
I wonder what he's like.
So, have you two ever
been to the castle town?
No, I haven't.
Well, that makes sense,
you being royalty and all.
Your kind don't spend
time with regular folk.
What about you, kiddo?
[ASTA] Yeah, I passed through
when I came to take
the Magic Knight's
Entrance Exam.
[VANESSA] Well, let's make
the most of our visit today.
I could do with a little
less touching, please.
Come on, I can't help it.
Do you want me to fall off?
[NOELLE]
I'm weirdly tuned to it somehow.
Ugh, not good.
[yells]
[ASTA yelps]
Not again!
Uh
[NARRATOR] The Clover Kingdom
includes the Noble Realm,
domain of royalty and nobility,
the Common Realm,
where the citizenry live,
and the Forsaken Realm,
home to the commoners.
Kikka, the castle town where
Asta and Yuno took the
Magic Knights Entrance Exam,
is located in the Common Realm.
It's just as awesome
as I remember!
Certainly very lively.
[laughs]
[ASTA] It'd be really cool
to bring Sister Lily
and the kids from the
church here someday.
What about me?
[VANESSA]
Huh?
Little Marie, my darling angel.
It won't be long now.
To wait another day before
seeing your lovely face
would be more suffering
than I could endure.
--[ASTA, NOELLE] Uh
--[VANESSA] Ugh.
[CHARMY]
Let's do this!
I know that voice.
Back again this month, huh?
That's right. I am.
Yeah, well, this time
I'm gonna win.
It's nice to have hope.
An extra-supersized deluxe
with everything on it!
You just try to finish this one!
Bring it. I'm ready!
Munch, munch, munch, munch
[ASTA gags]
I've got heartburn
just from watching her.
[FINRAL humming]
[FINRAL]
Pardon, miss, are you free?
Perhaps we can grab
something to drink.
Does it look like I'm free?
Oh, of course!
Bring your children! Let's go.
I know a great--
What do you mean, my children?
I'm their older sister,
and I need to get back
to help set up the shop.
I don't have time
to be fooling around.
Oh-ho-ho. I do have
a weakness for strong women.
Huh?
Hello, miss. Would you
care to get a drink?
[laughing]
Don't get too far ahead, now.
We might lose you.
Are you sure you
haven't seen anything
that you'd like to buy?
[ASTA laughs] Aw, man!
There's just so much stuff here.
I don't know what to pick.
Nothing's caught my eye.
[VILLAGER 11A]
Hey, see the robes?
Those are Magic Knights.
[VILLAGER 11B]
And check out that symbol.
[VILLAGER 11C]
Ugh! The Black Bulls?
[VILLAGER 11A]
Yeah. That's Vanessa,
the bottomless booze-pit.
[VILLAGER 11C]
That cute girl and the kid--
are they Black Bulls, too?
[VILLAGER 11B] Probably
better to keep our distance.
[VILLAGER 11A laughs]
They're making quite a fuss
over our robes, aren't they?
Yep. Don't worry, though.
They know that having
Magic Knights around
is an excellent crime deterrent.
And if we're lucky,
some marvelous gentlemen
might come over and say hello.
[giggles]
[laughs nervously]
[VANESSA]
Stamina-restoring herbs: check.
Shique ointment for
counteracting poisons: check.
Excellent. I think that
should just about do it.
[VANESSA]
I bought the important stuff.
Now, let's head somewhere
a bit quieter.
What did you have in mind?
Come on, you trust me. Right?
--[ASTA] Uh-huh!
--[NOELLE] Uh
[VANESSA]
This way.
[NOELLE]
Are you sure?
[ASTA]
It's just some back alley.
[ASTA]
Um, that's a dead-end.
[chuckles]
Whoa!
[gasps]
Well, are you coming?
Wha?
[yelps]
[VANESSA]
Welcome to the black market.
[ASTA]
A black market Huh.
[NOELLE groans]
[VANESSA] Now, I won't lie,
it may be a bit
on the dangerous side,
but they've got some
crazy-good magic items here.
[SHOPKEEPER 11A] Vanessa,
I have some new merchandise
that might interest you.
Sounds lovely. I'll be
sure to stop by later.
So cool!
[NOELLE]
Hm
[VANESSA] Hm. You don't
seem to be impressed.
Not especially.
[VANESSA]
Hah. I'm not surprised.
Royals and nobles instinctively
dislike this place.
But you might change your mind.
Are you still having some
issues? You know, with control?
Well, yes, but why
does that matter?
Because, sweetie,
there are items here
that can suppress magic.
Look hard and you might
find just the right item.
One to tweak your magic power.
Then maybe you would finally
be able to control it.
You really think
that's possible?
Let's just see what
they have, shall we?
Yes, let's go!
[ASTA] Huh. They sure are
packin' 'em in over there.
[VANESSA]
Sorry, kiddo.
You two aren't ready
for that just yet.
Amateurs can be taken
for all they've got
if they aren't careful.
[MAGNA]
All right!
We ready to get
this party started?
Time to turn one
payday into 100!
[ASTA]
That's not gonna end well.
[SEKKE growls]
[SEKKE]
Dammit! Lost again.
[laughs] Too bad for you,
I can see the future, dearie.
[whimpers] That old bat
really cleaned me out.
I guess I shouldn't
be gambling anyway.
Well, back to work.
And some work it is.
Bringing in small-time
purse snatchers.
As if they really need a
Magic Knight to do that job.
This is the worst.
But if I say no,
I'll answer to the captain.
And that man's frightening.
You don't feel like
doing your job?
Then how about
I tear you in two?
[SEKKE whimpers]
I thought being a
Magic Knight would mean
doing important things.
Even if I am just
a Green Praying Mantis.
Really? Praying mantis?
Who wants to be a bug?
They run me ragged
with odd jobs.
Finally go out on a mission,
and they use me as a decoy!
I'm constipated, and my
hair's starting to thin.
Oh, just damn it all!
[SEKKE]
Whoa! Not bad!
[VANESSA]
What about this one?
Bet you could use this
to stabilize your magic.
Maybe, if it wasn't so ugly.
Cmon, it can't hurt
to give it a try.
Uh
[NOELLE]
Ha!
[SEKKE yelps]
[NOELLE]
Uh--
You only have yourself to blame
for walking there
in the first place.
Ha, ha! Well, hello,
lovely ladies.
What brings you here?
[NOELLE, VANESSA]
Huh?
The black market can
be quite dangerous.
It's no place for such delicate
flowers to roam about. Ha, ha!
Are you lost, perhaps?
As a Magic Knight, I'd be
happy to escort you out.
It would be no trouble
in the least.
Begone with you, insect.
[yawns]
[whimpers]
[ASTA]
Hey! Check this out!
It's the best thing ever!
Not even you could
be stupid enough
to buy something like that.
It talks and everything!
I stand corrected.
Listen!
[ALIEN DOLL 11A]
Take us to your leader, humans.
Eh?
You worry me.
Ha, huh?
[SEKKE]
No! Him, again?
Hey, I remember you. "Ha, ha"!
That's Sekke! Ha, ha!
[ASTA]
How've you been, ha, ha?
I told you, my name is Ha, h--
No, I mean it's Sekke!
Who's this?
We took the
entrance exam together.
Oh, so you're on
the Mantis Squad.
[SEKKE] The best looking women
here, and they're with him?
Hold on. They're wearing
Black Bulls robes, too?
Stupid Asta!
I can't believe I'm actually
jealous of a Black Bull.
Damn him!
That runt's the whole
reason I wound up
in the Praying Mantises
in the first place.
I'll make him pay!
[OLD WOMAN]
No! Thief!
Get back here! Those are
my winnings, you fiend!
Give them back to me!
[FULL CAST]
Clover Clips!
[SEKKE]
"Sekke's Ha- Hah ! Lesson!"
Ha, ha!
--Ha, ha!
--[SEKKE] No, like this.
Ha, ha !
[ASTA]
Ha, ha!
[SEKKE]
I'm sorry, Asta,
but you have not yet
attained Ha-ha-hood.
Ha, ha!
What is "Ha-ha-hood"?
[SEKKE]
Ha, ha! This is my chance
to make a name for myself!
I'll catch that purse-snatcher
and get a star from
the Wizard King!
[SEKKE]

My magic is never
giving up! Ha, ha!
