Black Clover (2017) s01e13 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.
[SALIM] I take it these are
Hage's famous pop-potatoes?
I'm not sure they'll be
up to your noble tastes, sir,
but we hope you will at
least find them adequate.
[SALIM sniffs]
Incredibly crumbly and mealy.
And I'm not certain
I've ever had something
that dries the mouth so.
[SALIM]
And yet it's
[BOTH gasp]
tasty.
[HIGH PRIEST]
Good! I'm so glad to hear it.
Sister Lily, it
seems you possess
an exemplary talent for cooking.
I only prepared
a few basic dishes.
There's more than
enough for everyone.
Don't hesitate to eat
as much as you'd like.
And the same goes for you
two as well, of course.
[KLAUS]
Yes, thank you.
[KLAUS]
A noble of the Clover Kingdom,
in a ramshackle church,
eating dishes that
defy identification.
Oh, wow.
It truly does dry
one's mouth out.
Yes, quite extraordinary,
isn't it? Our good boys
Yuno and Asta both
sent home money
from the first wages they
received as Magic Knights.
Thanks to them,
we were able to buy a huge
supply of pop-potatoes.
Enough to make sure all the
children here at the church
will have full
bellies every day!
Here's an idea: maybe next time
buy us something
different for once.
There's no need
to be greedy, Nash.
Just look how big and
strong Yuno here got
on a steady diet
of pop-potatoes.
[SALIM]
Yuno.
Sending the first of
your wages back home--
that was very honorable.
It's nothing.
[LILY] That's not true.
We're very grateful, Yuno.
The money that you sent
helped us out so much,
and not just with pop-potatoes.
We were finally able to patch up
all the holes in the floor.
And we dug a well
out in the garden, too.
Thank you for everything, Yuno!
Yeah, for everything!
Asta sent something, too?
Yes, and what
a contribution it was!
How much did he send?
Oh, um. He, uh
[LILY whispers]
[gasps]
[laughing] Beat you, Yuno!
When I get my wages next month,
I'm sending it all to you.
What? That really
isn't necessary.
The amount you already
sent was so generous,
we'll be more than
fine for a while.
But thank you for offering.
You'll get it all.
Um, well, sure.
If that's what you want.
[KLAUS clears throat]
Pardon, Salim, sir.
We really ought to be
on our way now.
Why, what's the hurry?
We can stay a little longer,
surely. Just think.
As members of the nobility,
we have a rare opportunity
to broaden our horizons here.
Please, Sister Lily.
Might I trouble you for
another glass of water?
Of course!
[LILY]
Oh, looks like it's empty.
Well. I'll go.
[YUNO]
Let me.
No, it's all right.
You just stay put and relax.
[SALIM]
Wait. Please. Just a moment.
It still gets rather
chilly out at night.
Thank you very much.
A real gentleman, arent'cha?
Yes, well, you know.
These things just
come naturally to me.
That's what it means
to be a true nobleman.
[LILY hums]
[LILY giggles]
[LILY humming]
[crash]
[ALL gasp]
[REKKA]
What happened?
[HIGH PRIEST]
What was that crash?
[NASH]
Where's Sister Lily?
[YUNO]
I recognize that.
The villains who
came after Salim before
were wearing these brooches.
Those bandits who
attacked us earlier?
I can't believe it.
I gave her my robe so she
wouldn't catch cold out here,
but because she was wearing it,
they took Sister Lily,
mistaking her for me.
Oh It makes sense.
That must be what happened.
[ARLU]
Is Sister Lily going to be okay?
Is she? Yuno?
Yuno?
Yes, don't worry.
I'll bring her back.
[yells]
I'm going, too!
Yeah, so am I.
Count me in!
[YUNO]
No.
Everyone else stays here.
I can handle this on my own.
Hold on.
Remember our mission:
to protect Salim.
We don't know when they'll
come for him again.
We must depart at once.
You can't really mean that.
What about Sister?
Yeah, come on, four-eyes!
What did you just call me?
Um, four-eyes--
I mean, Klaus.
Can't we?
That's quite enough,
Mimosa. Now.
I know you're worried
about your friend,
but you will just
have to leave it
for the local watch to handle.
We're leaving this instant.
Come. I need everybody
to move quickly.
Let's go.
Yes, sir.
[KLAUS]
Yuno?
No, sir.
[gasps]
You will do your duty.
Insubordination
will be punished.
[YUNO] Be that as it may.
I'm going after her.
[KLAUS]
Yuno!
Tch. Does whatever he pleases.
[gasps]
Did no one ever tell
you that recklessness
isn't the same as bravery, Yuno?
He knows my name?
How 'bout I show you
the difference?
Towering Tornado!
What's that?
[DABRA groans]
[YUNO]
That's one down. Four to go.
[BABRA] I'm not necessarily
gonna to kill ya.
So don't worry.
This might hurt just
a little bit, though. Sorry.
I see what's going on here.
It's me you've been after
this whole time. Not Salim.
Heh. You really are
a clever boy, aren't ya?
Ha!
[BABRA cackles] Now I'll sit
back and watch you drown!
[YUNO] I don't know what
you're talking about.
I can breathe here just fine.
[BABRA]
What the--?
[YUNO] You wanna know
how to drown someone?
Let me show you!
[BABRA screams]
That's two down.
[CABRA] I can't believe you fell
for our false trail so easily!
Hah! How do ya like that?
Not bad. Let's see.
[CABRA]
How 'bout this?
[CABRA]
Ha, ha!
Impossible!
What is it about
people like you?
You always seem to think
that bigger is better.
[CABRA]
Uh-- Fine! I'll just--
[YUNO]
Too late.
[gasps, yelps]
[YUNO]
Three down. Just two to go.
[gasps]
That's Sister Lily!
[ABRA]
Ah! Stop right there.
That's a good boy.
You wouldn't wanna
do anything stupid
and get the Sister's pretty
face burned now, would you?
[ABRA laughs]
[LILY]
Yuno.
Even as young as you are,
you seem to have a
real talent for magic.
If you ever see
someone in trouble,
please help them instead
of looking the other way.
Promise me. You, too, Asta.
What, Sister Lily?
Did you say something?
[ABRA]
Now then, down to business.
Hand over that grimoire
of yours, Yuno.
Without it, you should
be suitably helpless.
What would you do
with my grimoire?
Sell it, perhaps.
Maybe I'll decide
to burn it, instead.
I'm not especially concerned
about what becomes of it.
If you don't have your grimoire,
the Magic Knights
won't see any reason
to keep you around.
[YUNO]
Is that what you're after?
And if I won't give it up?
[ABRA]
You're refusing?
That's what I thought.
Hand it over.
Then you can take your precious
sister and be on your way.
Not happening.
What? Don't you
understand? She'll be--
[YUNO] I'm not going
to let you hurt her.
You think attacking me
is going to do any good?
If you wanna give
it a shot, okay. Sure.
[YUNO]
I won't be the one attacking.
Who--?
Right. Steel Creation Magic:
Spiral Lance!
[yelps]
[ABRA groans]
[KLAUS]
Mimosa.
[MIMOSA]
Right!
[MIMOSA]
She'll be okay.
[sighs]
Are any of the bandits
unaccounted for?
By my count, there should
be one more of them.
Ran away then. Heh.
What were you planning on doing
if I hadn't been there to help?
Why are you here?
Honestly, Yuno,
do you take me for
some kind of fool?
[KLAUS]
He does, the brat.
[clears throat]
Now listen closely.
As Magic Knights,
we have a solemn duty:
to safeguard the people.
I already suspected
something was off.
[KLAUS]
This bunch wasn't out for Salim.
They were after you.
[KLAUS]
You imagine a noble
would want to
visit this village?
That he'd eat pop-potatoes,
and without complaint?
[KLAUS]
I'm sorry, but I don't think so.
And they didn't
abduct the sister
thinking she was Salim. Rubbish.
I found it strange that
Salim would want you
as his bodyguard
after losing to you.
After you left to
rescue Sister Lily,
I used a spell on Salim:
my Plant Creation Magic:
Flower of Truth.
[SALIM] It's Yuno's fault
that I didn't get to join
the Magic Knights!
Him and that four-leaf
clover grimoire.
Damn book. I'm going
to take it from him!
He'll know what real
pain is by the time
Daddy gets through with him!
I will have my revenge!
[KLAUS]
He gave up everything easily.
[YUNO] But once you
decided to come find me,
how'd you know where to look?
That was Mimosa's
doing, as well.
[MIMOSA]
Plant Creation Magic:
Magic Flower Guidepost.
Let's see
Oh, yes. There they are.
[KLAUS] And that's how we were
able to arrive just in time
to provide backup.
I'm very glad you came.
I needed the help.
Thank you, Klaus, Mimosa.
[KLAUS]
Hmph.
It's nothing.
[SALIM mufflied grunting]
Quiet!
Honestly.
Blaming others for
your own failure?
Obviously you'd be the loser
in a match against Yuno.
He earned the approval
of all the squad captains,
chief among them
Captain William Vangeance,
leader of the great Golden Dawn.
That should tell you
how talented he is.
Thank you, sir.
Yes, well.
Don't misunderstand me.
You still have a ways to go
before earning my approval.
[MIMOSA giggles]
Right.
Now, then.
I'll overlook your
insubordination this time.
It was all this cowardly
little idiot's doing
in the first place.
What next? Your choice.
Shall we bring them
to the capital?
[SALIM grunts]
No. I don't think that
will be necessary.
Are you certain?
[YUNO]
As long as they never
come near Hage Village again.
[SALIM grunts]
Huh.
Those are our terms.
Now make yourselves scarce,
and never repeat this folly.
[SALIM growls]
[KLAUS]
Do you understand?
You stupid commoner.
Making you lose
your guard like this
was all part of the plan!
[BANDITS]
Huh?
Holy Lightning Risin--
[LILY] Water Creation Magic:
Holy Fist of Love!
Behave yourself!
And try showing some remorse.
That goes for you, too!
[BANDITS]
Yes, ma'am!
I think perhaps
we should consider
recruiting her into
the Magic Knights.
Now.
There's been a change of plans.
We will be taking them in.
But first, tell me where
the other one went.
[BANDITS]
Uh
Ah.
Now that's my idea
of a good time.
I was ready to step in
if it looked like
things were getting dicey,
but they handled it
just fine without me.
William's new recruits
are certainly
nothing to be ashamed of.
[JULIUS]
Not at all.
How long were you
planning to laze about?
Do you know how
loud you are?
You need to return immediately!
There is a mountain
of work to be done.
[JULIUS]
All right, all right.
At this rate, you're gonna
give yourself an ulcer.
[MARX] And whose fault
do you think that is?!
[HIGH PRIEST]
You're really back!
I'm so glad that you're okay!
So glad!
So glad!
I guess we shouldn't
be surprised.
Not with Magic Knights
on the case.
Thank you all. Mimosa, Klaus.
I'm lucky you two
were there as well.
Think nothing of it.
We have the culprit.
That cowardly fool.
Honestly, what was he thinking?
Oh, right! Please
help yourselves.
The least we can do is
feed you before you go.
They may be a bit cold,
but you can have
as much as you'd like.
The flavor's not so bad, really.
I thought Magic Knights
weren't supposed to lie, sir.
[KLAUS]
Hmph.
[REKKA chuckles]
Perfect.
[ALL laughing]
[KLAUS]
A star?
[WILLIAM] The Wizard King
has evaluated your deeds,
and he has seen fit
to grant you a star.
[KLAUS]
Thank you, Captain.
We're honored to receive it.
Oh, wow!
How many people can
say they got a star
on their very first mission?
Although,
I don't recall doing
anything that extraordinary.
[WILLIAM]
On the contrary,
Salim's testimony
was quite valuable.
Thanks to that, Congressman
Hapshass's wrongdoings
have all come to light.
Bribery, fraudulent
accounting, shadowy deals.
Everyone involved
has been rounded up.
And you get all the credit.
I wonder, sir.
Did you accept this mission
having anticipated
such an outcome?
Evil deeds must
not go unpunished
in the Clover Kingdom.
It is our duty to see to that.
[KLAUS]
Yes, sir!
[WILLIAM]
Klaus, Yuno, Mimosa.
I look forward to seeing
what you will accomplish
in the future.
[YUNO, MIMOSA, KLAUS]
Sir!
[KLAUS]
Yuno and Mimosa.
As far as new recruits go, well,
they seem capable, I suppose.
I expect a great deal.
Oh, yes. Especially
from you, Yuno.
[chuckles]
[KLAUS]
A star.
Things turned out
quite well in the end.
But, Yuno, don't ever
go off on your own again.
Right.
Why did you pause?
Come on, Yuno, look at me.
I want you to look me
in the eye now
and promise me that
you won't do it again.
[YUNO]
Sure.
[KLAUS]
Yuno! Hey, wait! Yuno!
[giggles]
[ASTA] What?! The Golden
Dawn got a star?
I can't believe it.
[ALIEN DOLL 11A]
Take us to your leader, humans.
Just when we finally got down
to 100-star difference, too.
Well, it looks like
we're back up to 101 now.
[laughs]
No way!
We were totally catching
up to them, too.
[YAMI]
Yeah, we were close.
No, sir. Not even
slightly close.
Really, our total's
at negative 30.
[ALIEN DOLL 11A]
Take us to your leader, humans.
[NOELLE]
Shut that thing up!
They won't be in
the lead for long!
It's just 101 stars.
We'll catch up soon.
I'm comin' for you,
Golden Dawn. Yuno!
Sorry to interrupt,
but there's urgent news, sir.
[JULIUS] We have a
situation on our hands.
Yes?
Calm down, Marx.
The timing couldn't
be more perfect.
I know just who to
give this mission to.
[MARX]
Who, sir?
[JULIUS chuckles]
[FULL CAST]
Clover Clips!
[KLAUS]
"My Chariot."
Well? Pretty impressive,
is it not?
The whole thing is nothing less
than a marvel of craftsmanship.
Pure perfection.
Yeah, sure.
I mean, its majesty
practically screams
"Golden Dawn," don't you think?
[YUNO]
Yeah.
Amazing! What is this thing?
It's almost as awesome
as the Crazy Cyclone.
I think it could even give
Ha, ha's wicked Shooting Star
a run for its money.
You'd better believe it.
I don't know who you are,
strange boy, but thank you.
[KLAUS, ASTA laughing]
[YUNO]
Are you leaving yet?
[NOELLE]
What? Clear out a dungeon?
Me, Asta, and Luck?
It'll be fine.
I can handle one measly
dungeon, no problem.
Black Clover,
Page 14: "Dungeon."
My magic is never giving up!
