Black Clover (2017) s01e34 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.
C'mon, Sister. Stay with us!
[grunting]
[GAUCHE grunting]
Old hag. Wake up!
You can't die on me.
If you keeled over now,
Marie would be sad.
And I wouldn't be too
happy about it, either.
Take Take care
of them. The children.
It's always the same.
No matter who wins,
on any battlefield,
it's the weak who pay
the greatest price.
Children are innocent,
untouched by sin.
They were the ones
I most wanted to protect.
And so I left the
battlefield behind,
and devoted myself
to the church.
Sister!
What kind of nonsense is that?
No one is pure.
You're all tainted by sin
from the moment of your birth.
You're insane.
[gasps]
[gasps]
Just look at you, Sally.
Poor thing. They've
hurt you so badly.
I tried, Master.
You did well, but now
it's time for you to rest.
Valtos?
Yes, sir.
[SALLY]
Bye, Asta. Catch you later.
Don't forget, precious,
you belong to me.
[ASTA]
Please just leave me alone.
I'm to blame for this.
I should never have sent
her here by herself.
This outcome was unexpected.
[LICHT] You needn't feel
responsible for what happened.
We all know how they fight.
No doubt they resorted
to underhanded tactics.
You're saying that
we fight dirty?
After what that crazy lackey
of yours did to those poor kids?
You know, the sister
was wrong before.
It isn't the weak who pay.
Not at all.
It is the strong who
have been victimized.
Envied, feared, discriminated
against, persecuted,
and stolen from.
[ASTA] What's he talking
about? That's crazy.
[LICHT]
For its crimes.
The Clover Kingdom
cannot be forgiven.
Instead, we will destroy you
as you so richly deserve,
and build a nation of our own.
Where do you get off acting like
we're the bad guys here?
You and your group of
psychos started all this.
You jerk!
[ASTA screams]
I refuse to listen
to that kind of filth.
It's painful, really.
Seeing someone as disgusting
as you with that grimoire.
[ASTA]
My grimoire?
Never mind, I need to stay
focused on his attacks.
They come so fast,
I can't even see them.
What do I do?
[gasps]
[ASTA]
The only thing I can do;
use my sword as a shield
to block any fatal blows.
[ASTA yells]
I'm not done!
Yes, you are.
[ASTA gasps]
I'll just be taking that
grimoire back from you now.
[ASTA]
This is it.
[ASTA]
I'm dead--
[gasps]
No way.
Captain Yami?!
What are you doing here?
Why am I here? Well, hell, kid.
I guess I musta gotten lost.
Anybody know where the bar is?
Really?! You were
looking for a bar?
[YAMI]
Huh?
Jeez, you got rocks in
there instead of brains?
That's what people call a joke.
What?!
I'm a Magic Knight,
and there's trouble.
That's what I'm
doing here, idiot.
We heard about
what was going on,
but everyone back at the
hideout was useless as usual,
so here I am. I'll
kill 'em all later.
[ASTA] They couldn't pull
it together this once?
[FINRAL]
This is why we're here?
I wish he'd just let me sleep!
What the hell're
you doing, anyway?
I gave all you
knuckleheads the day off.
Maybe what you need is
a more permanent vacation.
[ASTA yelps, whimpers]
So, what's up with this guy?
He says he's the leader
of the Eye of the
Midnight Sun, sir.
N-No way, not them again!
Oh, yeah?
Here I'd been picturing
a super buff guy
who ate cows whole or somethin'.
Not some scrawny freak.
[FINRAL] Not everything in
this world is about muscles.
This guy has magic power
practically pouring out
of him. It's bottomless!
And Light Magic?
That's super rare stuff.
Only a few people
in the whole history
of the Clover Kingdom
have ever wielded it.
Whatever happens next,
it isn't gonna be pretty.
I wanna go home!
So, the Black Bulls
captain came himself.
Shall I summon
the Third Eye now?
No need. You see,
the captain here
is a wielder of Dark Magic.
I'll enjoy pitting my power
against his in battle.
Hey, Finral. Can you get
the others to the village?
Sure, leave it to me.
But, what about you?
I can still fight!
[ASTA] This is my chance to
see Captain Yami in action.
No way am I leaving now.
[FINRAL] Gauche and,
well, whoever you are.
Can you walk?
See to the old hag
first! And hurry!
[FINRAL]
Right, got it!
[FINRAL] Never mind that
I'm actually your superior.
All right, Captain.
It's up to you now.
[YAMI]
Hey. You better be comin' back.
[FINRAL] Ugh! Did he know
I was planning to sneak off?
He couldn't, right?
Well, y'know.
I think I might be a
little low on mana, so
Really! I'm not kidding!
[YAMI]
Yeah? Look at my face.
Does it look like I'm kidding?
[FINRAL laughs nervously]
No, sir. I guess it doesn't.
Are you tryin' to mess up
my ride or somethin'?
[FINRAL] His ride? All right,
time to get out of here.
I'm not looking to die today.
[FINRAL] I'm off! Gotta get
these people to safety.
You better be comin' back,
you hear me, Finral?
So cool!
How'd you know that
strike was coming?
What kinda sword is that?
Where'd you get it?
[YAMI]
Shut up, wouldja?
[YAMI]
This is a katana.
It's from my native country,
the Land of the Sun.
I blocked his hit by--
Ah, never mind.
No time to explain.
Besides, it's boring
that way. Just watch.
[LICHT] Engage Light Magic:
Light Swords of Conviction.
Awesome!
[LICHT] He's using
Reinforcement Magic to boost
his natural abilities
and cloaking his sword
in Dark Magic to
slice through my spell.
[LICHT] Except, there's
more to it than that.
Very well. Let's try
something else, then.
Impressive.
The power of an unorthodox
Grand Magic Knight.
Hold on. You know,
I think I recognize you
from somewhere.
[YAMI] Except I'm pretty
sure I'd remember
if I knew somebody who
could use Light Magic.
So who are you,
and what's your angle?
Do you go around attacking
people just for kicks?
[LICHT] My angle?
Let me tell you a story.
[LICHT] Once upon a time,
in a certain village,
there lived people who had
tremendous magic power.
They were special.
Greatly loved by the
mana of this world.
They could control
weather at will.
And manipulate the minerals.
Their powers were truly godlike.
[LICHT] Indeed, those
outside their village
came to revere them
as divine beings.
But then, the people's
feelings began to change.
Their respect and admiration
became fear and envy.
They slaughtered their
gods in a cowardly
surprise attack,
and stole their power.
What kinda story
is that? Who cares?
[YAMI]
You plannin' to become a bard?
Well, I got a story of my own
you might like to hear.
There once was a young
man with a bright mind
and a pure heart.
His father was a fisherman
who sent him out to work
the sea at a young age.
Then, one day,
his boat got wrecked.
[YAMI yelling]
[YAMI]
Seriously?
[YAMI] He fell into
the water and washed up
on an unknown shore.
[VILLAGER 34A]
Who is this kid?
[VILLAGER 34B]
He's wearing grass sandals!
[VILLAGERS laughing]
[YAMI] He looked and acted
different than the people there,
so he got the crap
beat out of him a lot.
But that was okay.
[YAMI laughing]
[YAMI] 'Cause he turned
around and beat the crap
out of them and then became
a badass squad boss.
The end!
Well? I think it's
a pretty good story.
'Course, it is half
my life, so there's that.
Silence! How dare you
mock Master Licht?
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
That is one seriously
freaky face.
What are those weird
lookin' lines for?
Now's not really the time!
[YAMI yells]
[YAMI]
He's gotten faster.
If you're truly a foreigner,
then my tale has
nothing to do with you.
In which case,
feel free to leave.
Captain Yami!
You've avoided mortal blows,
but how much longer
will your luck hold?
Are you the guy who
messed up Fuegoleon so bad?
Huh?
That's right.
[ASTA gasps]
I prepared so very carefully,
and he walked
right into my trap.
Figured as much.
These little darts wouldn't
do anything to a guy like him.
He'd take you down.
[grunting]
[YAMI growls]
Now, Dark Magic: Dark Cloaked
[YAMI]
Lightless Slash!
Master Licht!
[ASTA]
That was amazing!
I've never seen
anything like it before!
[YAMI]
Of course you used a trap.
You couldn't win
unless you played dirty.
Why, you--!
Stop dancin' around
and come at me head-on.
I'll show you what
a squad captain can do.
Think you can handle it?
[YAMI]
Hey, kid! Were you watching?
Uh, yes, sir?
[YAMI] That's good.
Because now it's your turn.
Yes, sir!
Wait, what did you say?
There's no way I can do that!
Yeah? Last I checked,
I was still your captain.
Which means, if I tell you
to do something, you do it.
Assuming you wanna be a
real man someday, Shrimpsta.
[ASTA]
Please, sir. That really hurts!
[VALTOS] He blocked
Master Licht's attacks
and even managed to fight back.
The Captain of the Black Bulls.
Could his power possibly
rival the Wizard King's?
Fascinating. The power
of Dark Magic.
Now, Light Recovery Magic:
Healing Light Particles.
Come on! Really?
He can use Recovery Magic, too?
[YAMI]
I haven't seen it much myself,
but apparently, some people
who've got a lot of mana
can wield all kinds
of different magic.
It's especially rare for
attack types like him
to be able to heal, too.
Never mind that for now.
You ready to go?
[ASTA]
He was serious?!
Please, sir! This is impossible.
I can't do what you just did.
You remember I can't
use magic, right?
I'm not talkin' about
that last attack, moron.
I mean this move
here where I block
his stupid little
lightning bolts. See?
[ASTA]
How do I hit something
if I don't even know it's there?
Guess I've got no choice.
I'll explain it to
you once. For 500 yul.
[ASTA]
He's charging me?
You wanna know
how I've been able
to respond to his attacks?
It's 'cause I've been
pickin' up on somethin'
that the people back
in my country call "ki."
"Ki"? You weren't
sensing his mana?
[YAMI]
Nope.
[YAMI] A person's glance,
their breathing, their scent,
the way their muscles move,
the hint of their presence.
Taken together, all of
that living energy
people give off.
That's called ki.
All I've been doing
is reading his ki
and using it to
predict his moves.
You've never done
anything like that before?
Actually, yeah.
That's my fighting style.
I combine the ability
to sense ki with my magic
and the strength of my muscles.
Think of it as me being
a buff magical swordsman.
[ASTA] You're not kidding
about the buff part.
Your neck's as thick as a tree.
[YAMI] Heh. Have you
seen your neck lately?
Insolent.
Carrying on a
conversation mid-battle--
do they think we're fools?
That captain certainly
is a mystery.
He's surprisingly quick for
someone who looks so sloppy.
He cannot be permitted
to show you
any further disrespect, Master.
Please pardon my impertinence,
but if I may step in.
Much appreciated, Valtos.
You're always so eager
to be of use.
All right. The boy, perhaps.
Would you capture him for me?
I don't mind if you need
to hurt him a bit.
It would be my pleasure, Master.
That was close!
[YAMI]
Hey, good timing.
Practice on the evil
scarecrow over there.
[ASTA] What? You want me
to take on that guy?
We talked about this!
There's no way I'll be able to--
There's a saying where I'm from.
Whatever happens, a warrior
never goes back on his word.
You did say you were gonna
be the Wizard King, right?
This is where you gotta
push past your limits.
If you don't, then your
path ends here.
Yes, sir!
[ASTA] I have no idea
what I'm supposed to do,
so I'll just concentrate.
Concentrate.
[sighs]
You truly think you'll be
able to detect my attacks?
An idiot boy who
can't use magic.
There it is!
I guess I missed some.
Nice try.
You think I wouldn't
notice you usin'
just one of your senses?
The only things you had
workin' there were your ears.
That isn't reading ki.
If you wanna do this right,
then you gotta feel it
with your whole body.
You got that?
My whole body?
[YAMI]
Yep.
Don't rely only on your
ears or just your eyes.
It's like, uh,
somethin' in between
intuition and prediction.
Now do it right this time,
or I'll kill ya.
[ASTA]
This is insane!
[ASTA] Still. I think
I kinda get it now.
Not only my ears, not just
my eyes. All right.
I gotta reset everything
and concentrate.
[ASTA]
Yes! There it is!
[gasps]
[VALTOS groans]
It worked! [laughs]
Captain Yami, did ya see me?!
Really?
You actually managed
to pull it off?
No way. You're a freak.
[ASTA]
Wha--?
[VALTOS groaning]
[LICHT]
Valtos.
[LICHT]
You hurt him. How dare you?
[LICHT] I will not allow
humans like you to continue
harming my compatriots.
You've done too much
damage already.
Jeez. What's this
guy's problem?
They're the ones who
started all this.
As you can see,
this particular spell
traces an ever-changing track
of whip-like undulations.
Can you anticipate
these movements?
[LICHT] Long ago,
when a person had sinned,
the punishment was flogging.
One popular instrument
used was a whip.
I find this a very fitting end
for the likes of you!
Light Creation Magic:
Light Whip of Judgment!
[LICHT laughing]
Your struggles are pointless!
It's crumbling!
[laughs] That nutball's not
holding anything back!
[yelps]
[screams]
Goodness.
And here I was attempting
to restrain myself.
Poor fools. You truly are weak.
Your kingdom as well.
It, too, will fall.
You destroyed them, Master.
Surely only a god
could wield such power.
If you wished it, all of
the Clover Kingdom's
Magic Knights would
cower before you!
[ASTA, YAMI yell]
No! They live?
[YAMI] So, the Eye of
the Midnight Sun's boss,
Licht, was it?
That's quite a forehead
you got there.
Or should I call it a fivehead?

My magic is pushing
past my limits!
