Black Clover (2017) s01e12 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.
[VANESSA]
Welcome to the black market.
Now, I won't lie.
It may be a bit on
the dangerous side,
but they've got some
crazy-good magic items here.
[SEKKE]
Dammit! Lost again.
[laughs] Too bad for you,
I can see the future, dearie.
That old bat really
cleaned me out.
I guess I shouldn't
be gambling anyway.
Well
Huh?
Whoa! Not bad!
Ha, ha!
The black market can
be quite dangerous.
It's no place for such delicate
flowers to roam about.
Begone with you, insect.
[whimpers]
[ASTA]
Hey! Check this out!
It's the best thing ever!
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!
[SEKKE] Going shopping
with the ladies, huh?
[ASTA]
We have the day off, so why not?
[SEKKE]
Ha, ha! That must be nice.
Even if it is your day
off, why goof around?
Shouldn't you be spending
it doing whatever you can
to rack up points instead?
I hear the Bulls are
30 stars in the red.
Stars?
Oh, yeah, that reminds me!
We got a star from the Wizard
King on our very first mission!
Awesome, huh?
[SEKKE]
No way! He must be kidding!
And you worked hard
for it. Right?
Ha!
[SEKKE]
They're actually serious?
No, calm down.
[panting]
Wow, did you really?
I guess you're doing okay, huh?
How 'bout you, Ha, ha?
That's Sekke!
And I'll have you know
I now have two star fish.
[OLD WOMAN]
No! Thief! Get back here!
Those are my winnings, you
fiend! Give them back to me!
The old bat from before.
[ASTA panting]
He's got a lot of nerve,
snatching someone's purse
in front of a group
of Magic Knights.
You can say that again.
Just leave this to the kiddo.
He's got it covered.
I hope you're right, dear.
Ha, ha! Asta!
I'm not going to let you
have all the glory.
Bronze Creation Magic:
Sekke Shooting Star!
--Ew, yuck!
--[NOELLE] So gross!
Oh
Don't worry, I'll handle this.
You three ladies just sit back
and let Sekke do his thing.
Ew, no!
You creep!
[SEKKE]
Ha, ha!
Get back here!
[chuckles] Think you can
catch me? Not a chance.
[ASTA]
You're not getting away!
[gasps]
[ASTA panting]
[ASTA grunting]
[yelps]
[ASTA panting]
Who's there?
What the--?! Aw
Whoops, sorry!
'Bout time he gave up.
[ASTA] No way I'm
letting you go that easy!
Well, a stubborn one.
[screams]
[THIEF 11A]
I can't see!
[ASTA grunts]
I'm gonna get that purse back!
This kid's even faster
than I thought
if he's catching
up to me on foot!
The only way I'll catch him
is if I do something
about that cloud.
It's a good thing
it's made of magic.
Here goes!
[yells]
You really think
some sword's gonna
slice through my
Bandit's Cloud Wind spe--
[THIEF 11A screams]
[screaming] What?
I've got you now!
[yelps]
[SEKKE]
Ha, ha!
Ha, ha?
[SEKKE]
This purse-snatcher is mine!
Man, that is so cool!
Ha, ha!
[THIEF 11A groans]
[SEKKE] Ha, ha! You're done now!
And I'll get the credit!
[laughing]
Huh?
[whimpers]
[SEKKE]
Is that?
I'm so sick of
that stupid laugh.
If I'm gonna go,
then so are you.
[screams]
Oh, no! What happened?
[SEKKE whimpering]
He got me! The thief
had a poisoned blade.
Hang in there! Stay strong!
Ha ha
[SEKKE] Am I dying?
I had such high aspirations.
I thought, someday, I would
Ha, ha!
[SEKKE] I hate to leave
things to this idiot, but
You managed to best me
during the exam.
It may be over for me,
but it's not for you.
I hereby bequeath you my dreams.
Ha, ha
Ha, ha
[SEKKE] Maybe this isn't
such a bad way to go.
Ha ha
[ASTA]
No, wait! Say something!
[SEKKE]
Ah? Why am I still alive?
Ha, ha!
Hey, what was that for? Huh?
Listen up, Ha, ha.
You can't just give
your dreams away.
Keep on living and make
them come true yourself!
Don't you give up so easily!
[VANESSA]
Honestly.
Something like this is
hardly going to kill you.
Ha, ha?
[VANESSA] It's nothing more
than a temporary irritant.
A quick dab of shique ointment,
and you'll be just fine.
Ha, ha! You'll have to work
hard if you want to be ready
for our next meeting,
Asta. Bye for now.
Ha, ha!
Later, Ha, ha!
[VANESSA] Our little Bull
may look like a kid
compared to that Mantis,
but he's much more powerful
where it truly counts.
[laughs]
[ASTA] Try not to let
anyone else steal this.
[OLD WOMAN laughs]
Thank you very much
for all your help,
Sir Magic Knight.
See you 'round, Granny.
Be careful out there.
Stay out of trouble.
Thank you again, Magic Knights!
[laughs]
[OLD WOMAN]
A sword that nullifies spells.
In all my life, I've never once
seen magic like that before.
[OLD WOMAN]
Actually, can it even be
[JULIUS]
considered magic?
Yami certainly nabbed himself
an intriguing new member.
This is why my secret
excursions are so necessary.
Finally, there you are!
[JULIUS]
Uh-oh.
What are you up to now?
Really, sir!
[laughs] Well, since you asked.
I'm wandering the
castle town in disguise,
hoping to stumble on new magic.
But, sir, that's not appropriate
for a man of your position!
[JULIUS] Encountering new magic
is a rare and precious thing.
[MARX]
Even so!
[JULIUS] I never know
what magical mysteries
might be awaiting me.
[MARX] Please listen,
you incorrigible magic geek!
Now, Marx. No need
to get so worked up.
Oh? Ooh!
Is that the fresh face
over in William's squad?
Excellent timing.
It seems I have yet
another new magic to meet.
Don't worry. I won't be long.
[MARX]
Don't you dare, sir!
[KLAUS] One of the Golden
Dawn's newest members.
Yuno.
The gifted youth sought after
by every squad captain
at the Magic Knights
Entrance Exam.
And the squad's other newcomer,
the royal Mimosa Vermillion.
Their first mission:
acting as escort for
Salim de Hapshass.
[KLAUS] The son of the
noble Congressman Hapshass?
And we are to accompany
him to the Heart Kingdom.
But why?
[WILLIAM] You're familiar
with Congressman Hapshass?
[KLAUS]
Only with his name.
I've heard he's considered
a bit of an upstart.
It doesn't seem he is
very well thought of.
[WILLIAM] Which gives him
additional reason to worry
about bandit attacks on his son,
as the lad sets off to study
abroad in the Heart Kingdom.
Wouldn't you think?
Yes, but surely the
Hapshass family has plenty
of powerful magic users
in their employ.
[WILLIAM] It seems he'll only
rest easy if his son is guarded
by members of a well-known
Magic Knight squad.
The congressman
is quite generous
in his annual donations to
the Magic Knights' coffers,
and serving government
officials is part of our duty.
Any objections?
No. None, sir!
Carry out any mission
you are given.
The good of the Clover Kingdom
must always be our priority.
Yes. Of course, sir.
[WILLIAM]
Take Mimosa with you, as well.
Accompanied by their teacher,
those two should be sufficient.
Look after our
fledglings, Klaus.
Dismissed.
[KLAUS]
Salim de Hapshass lost to Yuno
in the final portion
of the entrance exam.
As a result, he wasn't
offered a place
on any Magic Knight squad.
What reason could he
have for choosing Yuno
to be his bodyguard?
I'm so excited to be
going on my first mission!
Klaus, Yuno. We're in
this together, right?
Right.
Hush, Mimosa. Stay sharp.
Oh. Yes.
You, as well.
Of course.
[KLAUS]
Cheeky little newcomer.
So, Yuno.
Tell me, how have you been?
I hope you're not
wearing that scary face
because of me.
I chose you as my
escort because I wanted
the opportunity to
apologize to you.
You're hoping to be the
Wizard King one day, yes?
I am, but how did you know?
All the captains
raised their hands.
You could have joined any squad,
and you chose to become
a member of the Golden Dawn.
I knew then that you
must have ambitions.
I've seen how talented you are.
Enough successes behind you,
and before long,
you'll be a household name
throughout the kingdom.
"Yuno, of the four-leaf
clover grimoire."
Sound good?
Your dream of being
the Wizard King--
make it come true.
Someday, I'll be able
to brag to my children
about our first meeting.
"Believe it or not, kids,
I once fought the Wizard
King," I'll tell them.
"Wow, Daddy, really?"
they'll say. "You're amazing!"
We still have some
time before we reach
the Heart Kingdom.
If you don't mind, perhaps you
could tell me about yourself.
Though if you'd rather not,
that's all right.
I'm from a small
village called Hage.
[gasps]
Yes. I've heard of it before.
A commoner village
on the edge of nowhere.
Isn't that where the legend
of the first Wizard King
defeating the demon and
saving the world originated?
[YUNO]
It's not just a legend.
In fact, the demon's giant
skeleton is still there.
[SALIM]
Oh!
The village is all I've known.
I was abandoned outside
the church when I was a baby.
I've never seen
my parents' faces.
I have no idea who they are.
The church was small
and quite poor,
but the priest and the
nun who worked there
raised us the best they
could. I'm very grateful.
[KLAUS]
Clear so far.
Still, there must be someone
in the Hapshass family
who can use Movement magic.
Why go to all this trouble?
And with us as his only escorts,
if there were a legitimate
threat of bandit attacks,
why wouldn't they increase
his security detail?
This mission is one
mystery after another.
[rumbling]
[MIMOSA]
Odd.
What's going on up there?
Odd, indeed.
There's something
so eerie about it.
I'll go take a look.
[KLAUS]
Hey! You can't just--
Guard up, Mimosa.
Um, yes, sir.
[gasps]
[gasps]
[THUGS laughing]
[KLAUS]
Yuno! Defend Salim!
That's the basic plan.
[yells]
[grunts]
[CABRA cackles]
Gotcha!
[YUNO gasps]
[THUGS laughing]
[THUGS scream]
[THUGS yelling, laughing]
Oh, my!
Fantastic, Yuno!
[KLAUS]
Interesting.
It didn't seem like they
were coming for Salim.
[SALIM]
Well done.
You really saved me back there.
So efficiently, too. Impressive.
I didn't even have to cast
my Holy Lightning
Rising Salim spell.
My interest in you
is thoroughly piqued.
Wait, I have an idea.
Why don't we pay a quick visit
to that village of yours?
It would be fascinating to see
where you were raised.
I wonder if, perhaps,
it was the environment
you grew up in that
made you so powerful.
Pardon, sir, but that would
require quite a detour.
Also, the risk.
As we've just seen, we don't
know what's in store for us.
Now, please.
Let's make straight
for the Hear--
It doesn't matter
who might attack us,
because I have the three
of you to protect me.
Right?
Well, yes. Of course, sir.
But still, a noble visiting
a commoners' village
Oh, please.
We're only stopping by.
[KLAUS]
Yes, sir.
[SALIM] Besides, after so long
away, Yuno must be eager
to see everyone from
the church again, right?
That's really none
of your concern.
[SALIM]
Now, now!
Oh! Look at that.
The skeleton, I take it?
Well, it's certainly large,
and I assume that statue
standing on its head is
of the first Wizard King?
How fascinating!
Now, then. Where will
we find your church?
[YUNO]
Just over there.
[LILY]
Oh, my! Yuno!
Welcome back!
Hi, Sister.
Just look at how
much you've grown!
[YUNO]
I haven't changed.
How different can I look
after only two months?
There is something, though.
Let's see. Yes.
Your face, that's it.
You look more grown up now.
So, what brings you here?
A mission. We're just
stopping briefly.
How did I let myself
get dragged to this
backwater village?
[LILY] Oh, um, hello there.
My name is Sister Lily.
[KLAUS]
I am with Captain Vangeance's
Magic Knight squad.
The great Golden Dawn.
Klaus Lunettes, in charge
of the newcomers' education.
Klaus! Yes, of course.
I recognize your name
from Yuno's letters.
It's so nice to meet you!
Thank you for everything
you've done for him.
Letters? What exactly
did you say about me?
I see.
Hi! I'm Mimosa.
I joined the squad with Yuno.
Yes, I've heard about you, too.
You have?
What have you been
writing about me, Yuno?
[YUNO]
Mm
Goodness, what a
beautiful sight.
Huh?
[SALIM] Please allow me
to introduce myself.
I am Salim de Hapshass,
son of the noble
Congressman Hapshass
and Hapshass family heir.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Really. Such a pleasure!
[screams]
[gasps]
I'm so sorry, sir!
[SALIM]
No. No. It's quite all right.
Truly.
[HIGH PRIEST gasps, sobs]
Yuno! It's Yuno!
Our dear boy is back!
It's so good to see yo--
How's it going? You look good!
Oh, wow! Check it out!
A Golden Dawn robe.
It's the real deal!
Yuno's back! Yay! Yay!
Yay!
Hey, what about Asta?
Yeah, Asta!
Yes of course, have you been
keeping in touch with him?
I haven't.
Are you going to stay
the whole night here?
You will, won't you?
Um, well
Afraid not. Our
visit will be quick.
We have a time-sensitive
mission to complete.
[HIGH PRIEST, CHILDREN]
Aw!
Come now, Klaus,
we're not in that much
of a rush to be off, are we?
Surely it wouldn't be
difficult to spare an hour.
[KLAUS]
But, sir.
Perfect! Well, then.
This calls for a Hage feast!
Pop-potatoes for everybody.
Whaddya think? Sounds good, huh?
Please, make yourselves
at home. Come on in.
[SALIM]
Thank you.
What a marvelous
church you have.
[MIMOSA] I don't think I've
ever seen one this tiny before.
It's so adorable!
"Adorable"?
Almost like a
children's playhouse.
[yelps]
You have to tell us all about
the Magic Knights, Yuno!
[ARLU]
Yeah, tell us!
[HORO]
Tell us!
How did I let myself get dragged
to some shabby church?
[FULL CAST]
Clover Clips!
[SEKKE] "Sekke's Ha- Hah
Lesson! Part 2."
[ASTA]
Wait, we're doing this again?
Of course, what did you expect?
There's a great deal
more work to be done
if you wish to
attain Ha-ha-hood.
[ASTA] Your Shooting Star
is totally awesome.
[SEKKE]
I'm glad someone appreciates it.
[ASTA]
Well, yeah.
Especially that thing
on the front. So cool!
[SEKKE]
Excellent!
You're getting closer
to Ha-ha-hood.
I see now! That's
what ha, ha is!
Yes! Now you, too, are ha, ha !
[laughs]
[BOTH laughing]
Are all men such idiots?
[KLAUS]
Damn that Yuno.
Such an impertinent newcomer.
He had better learn
to respect his superiors
or I won't be held
responsible for my actions.
