1 | 'Asta and Yuno' Transcription: 'Asuta to Yuno' (Japanese: アスタとユノ) | October 3, 2017 | December 2, 2017 | |
In the Clover Kingdom, the orphans Asta (an outgoing, competitive boy) and Yuno (a quiet boy with an affinity for magic) want to become the next Wizard King, the most powerful wizard in the kingdom. One day, Asta and Yuno attend a magic ceremony to each receive a Grimoire suited to their abilities. Although each grimoire has a picture of a standard three-leaf clover on the cover (symbolising integrity, hope and love, Yuno receives an extremely-rare four-leaf-clover grimoire (symbolizing good luck), while Asta is embarrassed when he does not receive a grimoire. Yuno is attacked by a disgraced former magic knight intent on stealing the Four-leaf clover grimoire. Asta is badly beaten by the thief, who ridicules him for having zero magic potential. Asta's determination to win and Yuno's words of friendship summons a damaged black grimoire with a legendary five-leaf clover, which supposedly symbolizes the Devil. | ||||
2 | 'A Young Man's Vow' / 'The Boys' Promise' Transcription: 'Shōnen no Chikai' (Japanese: 少年の誓い) | October 10, 2017 | December 9, 2017 | |
In a flashback, a young Asta spends most of his time trying to propose to Sister Lily. He and Yuno are inspired by tales of the first Wizard King, and Asta says that he will become Wizard King some day. Yuno is asked to deliver an important letter to the chief of the next village, and is attacked and beaten on his way home by a thief who takes the necklace he was found holding when he was a baby. Yuno is too scared to fight back with his magic. Although he is seriously injured in his fight with the thief, Asta gets the necklace back when the thief becomes bored. Yuno wants to become as brave as Asta is, and announces that he is Asta's rival and will become the Wizard King before Asta does. In the present, Asta uses his black grimoire to summon a giant black sword and effortlessly defeats the thief. Asta and Yuno reaffirm their promise to remain friendly rivals until one of them becomes the Wizard King. | ||||
3 | 'To the Royal Capital!' / 'To the Royal Capital of the Clover Kingdom!' Transcription: 'Kurōbā Ōkoku, Ōto e!' (Japanese: クローバー王国、王都へ!) | October 17, 2017 | December 16, 2017 | |
Asta and Yuno train relentlessly for the Magic Knight Selection exam, hoping to become a member of the Magic Knight squads, nine squads of knights who use magic for combat under the command of the Wizard King to defend the Clover Kingdom. Asta and Yuno's rivalry reaches a new height of childish competitiveness. Father Orgi and Sister Lily host a going-away party, congratulating Yuno on his expected future success and subtly reminding Asta that when he fails he can always return home. Nash, an orphan, tells Asta that if he becomes a Magic Knight it might mean that everyone's dreams can come true – even those of commoners and orphans. Asta and Yuno leave for the capital city – a journey of several days on foot – continuing to train as they travel and growing far stronger, although Yuno still outperforms Asta with magic (accomplishing tasks for which Asta must use strength and skill). They arrive at the capital city and the Magic Knight exam, where success involves proving themselves more powerful than the other Magic Knight candidates. | ||||
4 | 'The Magic Knights Entrance Exam' Transcription: 'Mahō Kishidan Nyūdan Shiken' (Japanese: 魔法騎士団入団試験) | October 24, 2017 | January 6, 2018[c] | |
Asta and Yuno register for the exam, and learn that Yuno is already known for receiving the four-leaf-clover grimoire. They are ridiculed by the noble candidates. The exam hall is filled with Anti-birds, who are attracted to people with less magic. Asta is pestered by a flock of Anti-birds, who ignore Yuno. He is approached by Sekke Bronzazza, an arrogant nobleman who offers to help Asta with the exam. As the exam progresses, Yuno outperforms the other candidates; Asta fails, and Sekke shows off his skill at his expense. The final test is a one-on-one duel; Sekke chooses Asta as his opponent, revealing his contempt for Asta's lack of magic and his own desire to become a Magic Knight for the easy lifestyle. As the duel begins, Sekke summons a magic shield in the hope that Asta will embarrass himself trying to get past it; Asta summons his sword and defeats Sekke, however, repeating his promise to achieve his dream of becoming the Wizard King. | ||||
5 | 'The Road to the Wizard King' / 'The Path to the Wizard King' Transcription: 'Mahōtei e no Michi' (Japanese: 魔法帝への道) | October 31, 2017 | January 13, 2018 | |
Despite his easy victory, Asta is ridiculed for his dream of becoming the Wizard King. Yuno is approached by Salim de Hapshass, an arrogant nobleman who is confident that his skill and power is far superior to that of a commoner. Although Salim uses his most-powerful spell to mock Yuno, he is easily defeated. With the duels concluded, the squad captains choose the candidates they want; many fail, and are sent home. Yuno is selected by all nine squad captains (which is unheard-of) and joins the Golden Dawn, which usually accepts only royalty and nobility. Asta is almost sent home when Yami Sukehiro, the intimidating captain of the Black Bulls, accepts him. Sekke, accepted by the less-prestigious Green Mantis squad, decides to get revenge and summons a lizard whose poisonous bite would cripple Asta for life. Yuno destroys the lizard, however, and Sekke flees. Asta is brought to the Black Bulls' hideout, rushes inside to introduce himself and is struck by a magical explosion. As he is thrown backwards, Yami welcomes him to the Black Bulls – the worst Magic Knight squad in the kingdom. | ||||
6 | 'The Black Bulls' Transcription: 'Kuro no Bōgyū' (Japanese: 黒の暴牛) | November 7, 2017 | January 20, 2018 | |
At Golden Dawn headquarters, Yuno encounters Klaus Lunette (a Golden Dawn Knight who questions his worthiness as a member). Asta discovers that the explosion was caused by two Black Bull Knights fighting, and several other knights are behaving oddly. Yami proves his stregth by bringing them all to heel with a single furious glare. Asta learns that he has been accepted into the Bulls, but he must earn his robe. After Yami gives Asta a series of tests, he arranges a duel with Magna Swing (a young knight who specialises in throwing fireballs with a flaming baseball bat). Asta uses his sword to deflect Magna's fireball back at him. With his training complete, Asta is welcomed to the Black Bulls and receives his robe with the Black Bull symbol. | ||||
7 | 'Another New Member' / 'The Other New Recruit' Transcription: 'Mō Hitori no Shin Nyūdan'in' (Japanese: もう一人の新入団員) | November 14, 2017 | January 27, 2018 | |
Asta and Yuno write letters to the orphanage, who are surprised (and proud) that they have become Magic Knights. Asta meets Noelle Silva, the youngest daughter of the Silva royal family and the Black Bulls' second-newest recruit. Noelle ridicules Asta as a commoner, he easily defeats her, and she leaves the squad. When he sees Noelle practice, Asta realises that she cannot control her magic. In a flashback, Noelle's family mocks her and refuses her entrance into the Silver Eagles (the squad to which her family has belonged for generations). In the present, she accidentally traps herself in a giant water bubble. When Asta finds Noelle, Yami forces him to rescue her. Realising that the Bulls have accepted her for who she is, she rejoins the squad. | ||||
8 | 'Go! Go! My First Mission' / 'Go! Go! First Mission' Transcription: 'Gō Gō Hatsu Ninmu' (Japanese: ゴーゴー初任務) | November 21, 2017 | February 3, 2018 | |
Asta is assigned to do household chores for the Black Bulls, and quickly realises that he has no idea what Magic Knights actually do. Yami takes Magna on a dangerous mission (their code name for gambling). They lose everything in a poker game with the chief of the village of Saussy, who agrees to forgive their debt if they go to Saussy and deal with giant boars capable of fire magic. On Crazy Cyclone (his flying broomstick), Magna travels with Asta and Noelle to the village. A group of evil magicians led by Heath Grice, a rogue Ice magician, also arrive at Saussy. | ||||
9 | 'Beasts' Transcription: 'Kemono' (Japanese: 獣) | November 28, 2017 | February 10, 2018 | |
Grice and his magicians enter Saussy to search for a magic stone, and Asta kills the boars. Magna remembers his past as a troublemaker who was convinced to join the Magic Knights after the chief defeated him. Using his sword (which can nullify any magic), Asta destroys the mist barrier and enters Saussy as Grice tries to kill them. Magna protects the villagers, but realises that the chief has been killed. Grice tries to crush them with a giant ice ball, which Asta slices in half. Grice then attacks with ice spikes from all directions and, despite Asta and Magna's best efforts, several villagers are injured. Noelle tries to attack Grice and misses him, forcing Asta and Magna to intervene. When a terrified young girl begs for help, Noelle's protective instincts unlock a new spell in her grimoire: a giant water shield which protects the villagers from ice. | ||||
10 | 'Guardians' / 'Those Who Protect' Transcription: 'Mamoru Mono' (Japanese: 護る者) | December 5, 2017 | February 17, 2018 | |
As Asta is quickly overpowered by Grice's attacks, Magna flashes back to when he became a Magic Knight and the Saussy chief gave him the pouch he uses to carry his grimoire. Grice blocks most of his attacks, but several fly past him; Asta deflects them with the flat of his sword, defeating Grice and most of his magicians. Hiding in Asta's robe, an Anti-bird finds the stone for which Grice was looking. Grice kills himself and his magicians to avoid interrogation. The Anti-bird keeps the stone, and begins living on Asta's head. Grice's master decides that he can retrieve the stone later as he prepares for 'the Resurrection'. | ||||
11 | 'What Happened One Day in the Castle Town' / 'What Happened on a Certain Day in the Castle Town' Transcription: 'Toaru Hi no Jōkamachi de no Dekigoto' (Japanese: とある日の城下町での出来事) | December 12, 2017 | February 24, 2018 | |
After Grice's death, the Wizard King gives the Black Bulls a star for saving Saussy. Stars represent service achievements in the Clover Kingdom, and the nine magic squads compete to earn them. The current champions are Golden Dawn, with 70 stars; the Black Bulls fail so often that their score is −30. Asta receives his earnings for the month (200,000 Yul – Clover Kingdom currency), and sends most of it home to the orphanage. Vanessa Enoteca, a beautiful Black Bull member who wears revealing clothes and is frequently drunk, takes Noelle and Asta to the Black Market. Despite her distaste for its criminal atmosphere, Noelle tries to find items which might help her control her magic. Sekke, who now does only minor jobs for the Green Mantises and has become a gambling addict, tries to flirt with Noelle and Vanessa and is annoyed to learn that the two beautiful young women are with Asta. A thief suddenly steals an old man's bag, and Asta rushes to catch him. | ||||
12 | 'The Wizard King Saw' Transcription: 'Mahōtei wa Mita' (Japanese: 魔法帝は見た) | December 19, 2017 | March 3, 2018 | |
Asta and Sekke capture the thief, and Asta returns the woman's stolen property. The woman reveals herself as Wizard King Julius Novachrono, who (as a magic nerd) is intrigued with Asta's unheard-of anti-magic. Yuno is on his first mission with Klaus and second new recruit Mimosa Vermillion (like Noelle, a royal) as security for Salim de Hapshass, the noble whom Yuno defeated in the exam. Klaus is suspicious of Salim's requesting Yuno, since his defeat meant that no squad wanted him. Salim learns that Yuno came from the village of Hage. They are attacked by bandits, and Salim suggests that they spend the night in nearby Hage. Yuno is welcomed home enthusiastically, and Salim wants to stay a while. | ||||
13 | 'The Wizard King Saw, Continued' Transcription: 'Zoku Mahōtei wa Mita' (Japanese: 続・魔法帝は見た) | December 26, 2017 | March 10, 2018 | |
Sister Lily is kidnapped by the bandits. Yuno realises that the bandits wanted him, not Salim. He finds Sister Lily with them in Asta's hideout, under the giant demon skull. Their leader demands Yuno's four-leaf-clover grimoire. Klaus and Mimosa defeat the bandits in an ambush. Klaus reveals that Mimosa interrogated Salim with plant-creation magic, summoning a plant which speaks its victim's thoughts. Salim wanted revenge for losing to Yuno in the exam, and hired the bandits to steal his grimoire. Klaus accidentally reveals that he respects Yuno's abilities. Yuno offers to free Salim if he stays away from Hage. Salim tries to kill Yuno, and a furious Sister Lily knocks him out. One bandit goes missing and is revealed as Julius in disguise, who took a bandit's place so he could observe Yuno. The Wizard King learns from Salim that his father (a high-ranking politician) is corrupt, and awards the Golden Dawn a star for exposing him. Klaus suspects that Golden Dawn leader William Vangeance knew about Salim's father. Asta learns that Yuno also earned a star on his first mission. A new mission becomes available, and Julius has a good idea which Magic Knights to recruit. | ||||
14 | 'Dungeon' Transcription: 'Danjon' (Japanese: | January 9, 2018 | March 17, 2018 | |
An unexplored dungeon appears near the Clover Kingdom's border with the hostile Diamond Kingdom. Julius decides to assign the task to a Magic Knight of claiming the treasure and magical artifacts, and Asta is one of his choices. Asta fulfills the request, and the squad name his anti-bird Nero. Yami sends Noelle (to gain experience) and Luck Voltia, a cheerfully-deranged Bulls member who seeks out powerful opponents; Nero tags along on Asta's head. Noelle, frightened in the dungeon, clings to Asta. The dungeon is a confusing, nonsensical labyrinth. Luck and Noelle say that it is full of magical traps, which Asta cuts through to reassure the panicky Noelle. Luck senses other people and, hoping for a good fight, rushes towards the one with the strongest magic. Noelle learns about Yuno from Asta; embarrassed when she realises that she is alone with him, she accidentally triggers a carnivorous-plant trap which tries to eat them. They are saved at the last second by Yuno, who (with Klaus and Mimosa) was also given the quest of exploring the dungeon by the Wizard King. | ||||
15 | 'The Diamond Mage' Transcription: 'Daiyamondo no Madōsenshi' (Japanese: ダイヤモンドの魔導戦士) | January 16, 2018 | March 24, 2018 | |
Vangeance believes it crucial that Yuno become stronger. Klaus accuses Asta of lying about receiving a star and being given a mission by the Wizard King. Noelle is annoyed to see Mimosa, her cousin. Golden Dawn leave to explore the dungeon. Although Asta is proud of how much Yuno has improved, he is determined to reach the treasure room first. Asta and Noelle get lost, but Nero somehow knows the right direction. Yuno angrily warns Klaus about insulting Asta, since he is far stronger than he appears. The Wizard King learns that Diamond Kingdom magicians, led by Lotus Whomalt (a smoke-manipulation magician) have entered the dungeon. Luck is revealed to have defeated the magicians, but is troubled by Lotus' smokescreen. He scratches Lotus' face, and becomes increasingly deranged as the fight continues. Lotus reveals that he once duelled with Captain Yami, and received a large scar on his chest. Luck is hit by Lotus' poison gas, and loses control of his body. Golden Dawn reaches the door to the treasure room, but Mimosa is injured by a crystal-manipulation magician from the Diamond Kingdom. Luck goes completely mad, and attacks with even-more-powerful lightning magic. | ||||
16 | 'Friends' Transcription: 'Nakama' (Japanese: 仲間) | January 23, 2018 | March 31, 2018 | |
As children, Asta and Yuno talk about what it means to be a family. As a child, Luck was considered abnormal for constantly smiling; he was abused by his mother until he discovered his lightning magic and defeated a noble. His mother then became affectionate toward him, making him promise to keep winning no matter what. Luck attacks Lotus again, but is trapped in a smoke cage. Klaus is almost killed by Mars (the crystal magician), and Luck is almost killed by Lotus. They are saved by Yuno and Asta, who declare that they will protect their new friends. Luck remembers that he could not even stop smiling at his mother's funeral, and insists on fighting alone so she will love him. Asta refuses to let him, and Luck realises that he is not alone anymore. Yuno casts two simultaneous spells to take down Mars. Luck realises that Lotus can sense their magic (and their location) inside his smoke, and formulates a plan using Asta's lack of magic for a surprise attack. Lotus is seriously injured, and Mars survives Yuno's spells by summoning a large crystal sword to defend himself. | ||||
17 | 'Destroyer' Transcription: 'Hakaimono' (Japanese: 破壊者) | January 30, 2018 | April 8, 2018[d] | |
Lotus flees from the Bulls. Klaus sees that Mars has crystals embedded in his skin, and remembers that the Diamond Kingdom had tried to produce stronger magicians with human experimentation and fights to the death. Mars, who has a two-colour grimoire, is the result of the experiments. Yuno draws strength from his memories of Asta's determination, and refuses to surrender. When he is about to die, Asta appears and cuts the crystal sword in half. Luck smashes Mars' crystal warriors and Noelle casts her water shield around Mimosa, keeping her safe while she heals. Klaus refuses to believe that Golden Dawn magicians were saved by Black Bulls. With his anti-magic and strength, Asta overpowers Mars. Noelle tells Klaus to accept Asta's strength, which is (whether he likes it or not) much greater than that of any noble. Asta is crushed between two crystals and badly injured, while Mars reappears in giant crystal armour. When Klaus sees Asta's muscles, he realises how much he must have trained to fight Mars without magic. Mars flashes back to a girl from his childhood, and tries to destroy Asta. Asta smashes Mars' armour, knocking him unconscious. | ||||
18 | 'Memories of You' Transcription: 'Tsuioku no Kimi' (Japanese: 追憶の君) | February 6, 2018 | April 15, 2018 | |
Mars is restrained with magic. Noelle blushes when she sees Asta half-naked, his clothes torn. The treasure room is filled with magic artefacts. Yuno picks up a scroll with a spell, which reacts to his grimoire before it disappears. Nero tries to direct Asta to a gold seal on the wall, but is ignored. Klaus learns that Mars' grimoire is two grimoires sewn together. It suddenly flies out of his hands and returns to Mars, who can use two types of magic instead of only one. Mars' memories suggest that the girl from his childhood was another test subject; although they were friends, he was forced to kill her in a duel. Noelle is injured, and Asta is blasted through the golden seal into another room. Mars declares his belief that only the strong should survive. Asta awakens to find Nero sitting on top of a second black sword. He seizes it and defends Mimosa and Noelle from Mars; the new sword is smaller and faster. Asta is encouraged by Noelle and the sword absorbs her magic, allowing him to cast a water spell. Despite his armour, Mars is blasted backwards; Asta is impaled by a crystal and collapses. | ||||
19 | 'Destruction and Salvation' Transcription: 'Hōkai to Kyūsai' (Japanese: 崩壊と救済) | February 13, 2018 | April 22, 2018 | |
Mars has a flashback about the girl, Fana, who hoped that she would be allowed to go outside. Mars promised her that they would see the world together, but they were forced to duel to the death. He killed Fana accidentally, in self-defense. Fana's grimoire was stitched to Mars', giving him fire and crystal magic. He intends to kill Asta and Mimosa. Yuno desperately casts a random spell from his grimoire, and time freezes. A tiny elf appears and casts a wind spell which hurls Mars into a wall. Yuno realises that the spell on the scroll has appeared in his grimoire. The dungeon begins to collapse, and Lotus is revealed to have taken a large pile of treasure and saved Mars. Mars' dreams reveal that Fana allowed herself to die so he could experience life, and he is deeply affected by his memories. Asta awakens healed and thanks Mimosa, who has a crush on him. Klaus apologises for thinking less of them for being commoners, and begins treating them as equals. Noelle, embarrassed when she realises that her clothes are torn and she is half-naked, punishes Asta for peeking at her. | ||||
20 | 'Assembly at the Royal Capital' Transcription: 'Ōto Shūketsu' (Japanese: 王都集結) | February 20, 2018 | April 29, 2018 | |
Asta sleeps for a week, worrying Noelle. They are summoned to Magic Knight headquarters with Yuno, Klaus and Mimosa. Mimosa admits her crush on Asta to Noelle, who experiences a pang of jealousy. They meet the Wizard King Julius Novachrono, who examines Asta and Yuno's grimoires. The elf from Yuno's new spell is Sylph, a wind elemental who serves one master every era. Sylph discovers that Asta's swords drain magic from whoever holds them, and Asta can wield them because he has no magic to drain. They attend a knight-promotion ceremony for knights who have earned enough stars; Julius promotes Noelle's older brother and sister, Solid and Nebra Silva, in addition to senior members of the Golden Dawn and Sol Marron of the Blue Roses. Julius leaves Asta, Yuno and their friends alone with the newly-promoted knights, who are arrogant nobles. When Asta hears Noelle's siblings (including her eldest brother and Silver Eagles captain Nozel) mocking her, he impulsively intervenes. A Golden Dawn noble tries to bury him in sand, but Asta negates the spell and repeats his promise to become the Wizard King. | ||||
21 | 'Capital Riot' Transcription: 'Ōto Sōran' (Japanese: 王都騒乱) | February 27, 2018 | May 6, 2018[e] | |
Rades Spirito, a Magic Knight who was expelled from his squad, plots revenge against the Clover Kingdom. Noelle's siblings and several other nobles attack Asta, and he fights her brothers Solid and Nozel. Nozel intervenes and freezes everyone with fear, including Asta (whom he intends to punish himself). Fuegoleon Vermillion, Mimosa's cousin and captain of the Crimson Lions, questions the nobles' honour for ganging up on Asta. His brother, Leopold, is impressed by Asta and decides to become his rival. Captains Nozel and Fuegoleon fight a battle of wills. The city is attacked by Rades and his zombie army, who are impervious to injury and kill a number of residents and magicians. Asta rushes to the front lines to protect the commoners, and the nobles split up to protect different parts of the city. Rades is about to kill a little girl when Asta slices through a group of zombies (destroying them) and lunges at him. | ||||
22 | 'Wild Magic Dance' Transcription: 'Mahō Ranbu' (Japanese: 魔法乱舞) | March 6, 2018 | May 13, 2018 | |
Rades knows who Asta is, but does not know why his zombies were destroyed so easily and summons more. The Silver Eagles, Golden Dawn and Crimson Lions fight them throughout the city, quickly learning that the zombies remain dead only if their bodies are completely destroyed. Asta attacks Rades, who summons No. 4 Jimmy: a more-powerful zombie who shoots Asta in the face with a bleeding-curse-magic bullet which makes him bleed constantly. Asta parries the next bullets so Jimmy fires at the girl instead, forcing Asta to protect her. Although Noelle sees that Asta is in trouble, her siblings' ridicule has destroyed her confidence. Fuegoleon hits Noelle on the head for hesitating (telling her to work to become stronger or remain weak forever), and she realises that this is what Asta does every day. She joins him in battle, casting her water shield around the girl while Leopold burns away the zombies (allowing Asta to rush at Jimmy and destroy him). The enraged Rades summons No. 2 Alfred, who attacks Asta with lightning magic. | ||||
23 | 'The King of the Crimson Lions' / 'The Crimson Lion King' Transcription: 'Guren no Shishiō' (Japanese: 紅蓮の獅子王) | March 13, 2018 | May 20, 2018 | |
Augustus Kira Clover XIII, the lazy and self-centred king of the Clover Kingdom who is spending the battle with his mistresses in the castle, petulantly asks why the Wizard King is not protecting him. Charmy Papittoson, a young, food-obsessed Black Bull, sneaks into the palace kitchen to meet the royal chef. Since Asta cannot match Alfred's speed, Fuegoleon intervenes and burns Alfred to ashes. Rades mocks Asta's dream of becoming the Wizard King with nothing but anti-magic. Fuegoleon is so impressed with Asta that he also decides to become his rival, and takes his place in the fight so he can recover. Rades reveals that he had been on the Purple Orca squad, but was banished from the Clover Kingdom because his necromancy was considered unnatural. Fuegoleon attacks; Rades summons No. 1 Karl, his strongest corpse, and hides behind Karl's magic shield. The more-experienced Fuegoleon shoots a fire bolt through the shield's weakest point, destroying Karl and defeating Rades. The city begins to recover; a witch named Catherine flies overhead, suggesting that the battle is not over. | ||||
24 | 'Blackout' Transcription: 'Burakkuauto' (Japanese: ブラックアウト) | March 20, 2018 | June 3, 2018[f] | |
Noelle and Leopold defeat No.3 David, Rades' last zombie. Fuegoleon examines Rades' grimoire and discovers that it has only one page with one spell; necromancy is all he is capable of. Rades has a magic item in his ear which transmits a voice warning him to follow his master's plan. A spell activates in which nearly all the Magic Knights (who had been lured by zombies into teleportation traps) are sent far away. Catherine attacks the city and begins draining magic from every magician, aging them as she becomes younger. Yuno (who escaped the trap) fights her; Catherine reveals that the invasion targeted Fuegoleon Vermillion, who is transported to a different location than the other knights. Yuno is hit by curses, which steal his vision and hearing. Although he almost gives up, he realises that without his sight he is more attuned to the flow of magic. Yuno summons Sylph to manipulate all the city's magic and attack Catherine with a hurricane. Fuegoleon is approached by a magician whom he recognises. | ||||
25 | 'Adversity' Transcription: 'Gyakkyō' (Japanese: 逆境) | March 27, 2018 | June 10, 2018 | |
Catherine, now old and drained of magic, crashes through the wall of the palace kitchen where Charmy is feasting. She tries to drain Charmy's magic, but Charmy (thinking that Catherine wants her food) summons a giant sheep who knocks Catherine through another wall. Catherine's stolen magic returns to her victims, who return to their normal ages. Charmy's meal almost goes through the wall, but it is caught by Yuno (on whom Charmy develops a crush). The king demands battle soon, because the noise is keeping him from napping. Noelle realises that the magician who teleported Fuegoleon must be nearby, and Asta finds him hiding under a pile of zombies. Valtos (the magician) returns Fuegoleon unconscious with his right arm torn off, indicating that the magician who teleported Fuegoleon is stronger than a squad captain. Seeing his brother defeated shocks Leopold into near-catatonia. Rades tries to escape through Valtos' portal, but Asta stops him; however, his allies arrive and surround them. Asta (still affected by No. 4 Jimmy's bleeding curse) slashes his own body with his swords, removing the curse and preparing to fight as Rades' allies begin to attack them. | ||||
26 | 'Wounded Beasts' Transcription: 'Teoi no Kemono' (Japanese: 手負いの獣) | April 3, 2018 | June 17, 2018 | |
Asta and Leopold battle the magicians. Noelle uses her shield to prevent further harm to Fuegoleon, who is slowly dying. Asta and Leopold are impaled by wind needles, but are saved by the teleported Magic Knights (who worked together to return to the city). Mimosa begins healing Fuegoleon; Rades and the magicians kidnap Asta and flee. Nozel decides not to look for Asta, and Solid and Nebra mock Fuegoleon for his defeat. The Magic Knights begin rebuilding the city's defences, and Noelle worries about Asta; Rades and the magicians argue about his recklessness. One magician, Sally, wants to dissect Asta for his anti-magic. As they reach their hideout, they find Julius waiting for them; he overwhelms them by using his time magic to kill two and capture the rest. Asta realises how much he needs to learn before he becomes the Wizard King. Julius is interested in a nearby stone tablet inlaid with several jewels like the one in Saussy, but a mysterious magician appears and blinds everyone with light magic. | ||||
27 | 'Light' Transcription: 'Hikari' (Japanese: 光) | April 10, 2018 | June 24, 2018 | |
The light magician disappears with the stone tablet after a brief clash with Julius, who returns Asta and his remaining prisoner to the city; Noelle, Klaus, Mimosa and Nero are happy that he is safe. Fuegoleon is missing his jewel necklace, which the Wizard King suspects is part of the stone tablet now possessed by the Eye of the Midnight Sun (the group behind the invasion). Nozel seeks revenge for Fuegoleon's injuries, and Leopold decides to become the Wizard King. The Wizard King concludes that one of his Magic Knights must be a traitor. Fuegoleon remains unconscious, and Sally begins experimenting on Asta's blood. The mysterious master is revealed as injured by the Wizard King's time magic, with his right arm aged to that of an old man; he has thousands of followers. Asta argues with Yuno, who responds with a wind attack he struggles to nullify. Sylph (visible only to Yuno) has made his magic even more powerful. At the Black Bulls' hideout, Magna has finally earned a star; Asta says that he has been promoted to Junior Magic Knight Third Class for repelling the invasion, outranking Magna. | ||||
28 | 'The One I've Set My Heart On' Transcription: 'Kokoro ni Kimeta Hito' (Japanese: 心に決めた人) | April 17, 2018 | July 1, 2018 | |
Black Bull member Finral Roulacase attends a mixer dance with three women, himself, Asta and Luck. As they leave with Finral's portal spell, Noelle (jealous of Asta) secretly follows them. At the mixer, to Noelle's relief, the women are not impressed with Asta, Finral or Luck; Sekke is also at the mixer. Asta is left alone with a young woman, Rebecca Scarlet. After a few awkward minutes, they bond because each has several younger siblings (shocking Noelle). A drunken man insults Rebecca, and Asta throws him across a table (landing on Sekke). Rebecca develops a crush on Asta, but decides to pursue him slowly when she learns that he loves someone else. Noelle mistakenly thinks that Asta has a crush on her. Finral and Luck are rejected by the other two women because of their misunderstood belief (because of Asta's reaction to the drunk) that Black Bulls are too violent. | ||||

Gauche Adlai, a Black Bull obsessed with his orphaned 10-year-old sister Marie, is happy because it is Marie's birthday. Father Orgi and Sister Lily learn that Asta was promoted to Junior Magic Knight Third Class, and Yuno is promoted to First Class. Asta visits Rebecca's village, angering Noelle. When Gauche arrives at Marie's orphanage, he finds her playing with Asta and Rebecca's siblings. He overreacts, frightening Rebecca's siblings and upsetting Marie (who has a crush on Asta). Gauche tries to kill Asta, Sister Theresa Rapual (a nun who cares for Marie) stops him. He argues with Theresa, who is the reason he can visit Marie only once a month. Rebecca invites Asta to spend the night at her house, and her siblings assume that she will try to seduce him; Noelle faints from jealousy. Gauche again tries to murder Asta in his sleep. Their fight moves outdoors, where Asta realises that the village is snow-covered in midsummer. Rebecca intervenes; two of her siblings (Luca and Marco) and dozens of other village children are missing, led away in a hypnotic trance by Neige. | ||||
31 | 'Pursuit Over the Snow' Transcription: 'Setsujō no Tsuigeki' (Japanese: 雪上の追跡) | May 8, 2018 | July 22, 2018 | |
Sister Theresa realises that the snow hypnotises children whose magic has not appeared. Gauche tracks Marie into the mountains with Asta and Sister Theresa, leaving Noelle behind to assemble reinforcements. Marie wakes up with the other kidnapped children; Neige, realising that she is awake, calls her a bad friend and hits her. Neige's abusive older brother, Baro, sees that Marco has almost no magic and throws him out into the snow. Noelle contacts Magic Knight Headquarters, and asks Sekke for help. Although Asta sees Marco in the snow, Gauche cares only about Marie. Asta falls off the broom to reach Marco, and Gauche flies on. He awakens Marco from his trance, and Sister Theresa heals him. Baro begins painfully draining magic from the children. Gauche arrives, but he is forced to stop fighting when Baro uses Marie as a shield. Asta frees Marie. Sister Theresa sees that the children are drained, and will never be able to use magic. Baro assumes that Asta is weak without magic, but when Asta learns that Baro stole the children's magic for money he blasts him into the wall. | ||||
32 | 'Three-Leaf Sprouts' Transcription: 'Mitsuba no Me' (Japanese: 三つ葉の芽) | May 15, 2018 | July 29, 2018 | |
Sekke flies to the Black Bulls' hideout to get help for Asta and Gauche, but finds most of the Bulls drunk; Yami, awakening in a bad mood, thinks that Sekke is a debt collector. Neige is tricked and defeated by Gauche's mirror clone. Sister Theresa restrains Baro, and Asta begins awakening the children from their trances. Baro activates a transmitter. Sister Theresa says that she trained Sister Lily, who told her about Asta and his determination (a daily inspiration). Sally, responding to Baro's signal, appears through a portal. Sekke tells the Bulls that Asta and Gauche need help. Yami debates doing it himself (which he does not want to) or sending Gordon and Grey, who are difficult to communicate with. Sally outmanoeuvres and traps Asta and Gauche with her gel magic. Sister Theresa burns away the gel and reveals that she was Theresa the Crimson She-Leopard of the Crimson Lions, who trained Fuegoleon when he was a child. Sally injects Baro with a magical substance which transforms him into a mud monster. Gauche flees with Marie, leaving Asta, Sister Theresa and the other children to die. | ||||
33 | 'To Help Somebody, Someday' / 'To Help Somebody Someday' Transcription: 'Itsuka Dareka no Tame ni naru' (Japanese: いつか誰かの為になる) | May 22, 2018 | August 5, 2018 | |
The mud monster tries to kill Neige, but Asta protects him. Gauche flashes back to his and Marie's childhoods, when a relative killed their noble parents, stole their money and threw Gauche and Marie out into the street. Gauche turned to theft to keep Marie from starving, and was sent to prison; Marie was taken in by Sister Theresa. Gauche changes his mind when Marie tells him that she is proud he became a Magic Knight, leaves her with Marco outside the cave and goes back. He sees that Asta is still fighting the mud monster, attacks Sally and is badly beaten. Asta saves him, and Gauche remembers joining the Bulls; he decides for the first time in his life to support someone else. A new spell appears in his grimoire; he casts it with the magic mirror in his left eye, creating dozens of Asta mirror clones who defeat the mud monster. Neige vows revenge on Sally, and Asta offers to be his friend. Neige, Gauche and Sister Theresa are attacked by Licht, the Eye of the Midnight Sun leader. Like Yuno, Licht has a four-leaf-clover grimoire. | ||||
34 | 'Light Magic vs. Dark Magic' Transcription: 'Hikari Mahō Bāsasu Yami Mahō' (Japanese: 光魔法VS闇魔法) | May 29, 2018 | August 12, 2018 | |
Licht says that it is his duty to destroy the Clover Kingdom, and is angry that Asta has the five-leaf-clover grimoire. Yami appears through Finral's portal and saves Asta with his sword, a katana from his home country. Licht (who uses light magic) decides to duel Yami, who uses dark magic. Since Yami is convinced that they met before, Licht says that he comes from a village of powerful magicians who were slaughtered out of jealousy by those who had revered them. Yami counters with his own more-ridiculous tale of how he ended up in the Clover Kingdom, injuring Licht's face when Licht admitted that he had maimed Fuegoleon. Yami orders Asta to fight as well, saying that he countered Licht's attack by sensing his qi (energy emitted by movement). Licht asks Valtos to capture Asta, and Yami orders Asta to use his qi-sensing technique. Asta succeeds on his second try, reflecting Valtos' attack back at him. This infuriates Licht; he causes a cave-in to bury Asta and Yami under the rubble, but they free themselves before Licht and Valtos can leave. | ||||
35 | 'The Light of Judgment' Transcription: 'Sabaki no Hikari' (Japanese: 裁きの光) | June 5, 2018 | August 19, 2018 | |
Licht criticises the Clover Kingdom's hypocrisy in respecting magical ability but forcing those with powerful magic to live in poor conditions, continuing his fight with Yami while Asta faces Valtos. Despite his new ability to sense qi, Asta is wounded. He throws himself through one of Valtos' portals, reappearing on the other side in front of Valtos (who punches him into a wall). Yami tricks Licht into attacking, and wounds him. Licht praises Yami for being the second man to seriously hurt him; the first was the Wizard King, who incurably aged his right arm. Licht prepares to use a powerful spell to kill Yami and Asta and retrieve the five-leaf-clover grimoire. Finral returns the children to their parents, and Sister Theresa and Gauche are healed. The magician healing Gauche says that it is a miracle he is still alive. Sister Theresa gives Gauche her remaining magic so he can help Asta, who has made him a better man. Neige and Marie also give him their magic. Although Licht invokes his Ray of Divine Punishment spell, Gauche has Finral teleport him to Yami and uses his Full Reflection spell to defeat Licht. | ||||
36 | 'Three Eyes' Transcription: 'Mittsu no Me' (Japanese: 三つの眼) | June 12, 2018 | August 26, 2018 | |
The children return to the village. Noelle, learning about the fight at the cave, is upset that she was left behind and Asta might still be at risk. At the cave (with Licht knocked out by his own reflected attack), Yami restrains Licht and Valtos while he, Asta and Gauche wait for Finral to regain the strength to teleport them. Licht regains consciousness, recognizing Gauche as a friend (despite Gauche's knowledge that they never met), and is freed by three Eye of the Midnight Sun members who come through a portal. Licht says that the three members are the Third Eye, the Eye of the Midnight Sun's strongest members. The Third Eye represents traits opposed to integrity, hope and love, which the Clover Kingdom pretends to value. Rhya the Disloyal uses copy magic to replicate Yami's attack, battling the Black Bull captains; Vetto the Despairing's beast magic shatters Yami's sword, and Fana the Hateful uses the Salamander of the Fire spirit. The Third Eye are about to kill Yami when their attacks are deflected by Nozel, Charlotte Rosary and Jack the Ripper of the Green Praying Mantises. | ||||
37 | 'The One with No Magic' Transcription: 'Maryokunaki Mono' (Japanese: 魔力無き者) | June 19, 2018 | September 9, 2018[g] | |
Neige tells Noelle his motivation to turn himself in: so he and Asta can be friends. Rebecca notices Noelle's concern about Asta. The captains argue, revealing that Jack and Yami duelled in the past and Charlotte is in love with Yami but too stubborn to tell him. Charlotte duels Rhya, Jack duels Vetto, and Nozel tries to kill Licht but ends up duelling Fana. Licht becomes angrier because Asta owns the five-leaf-clover grimoire and his swords, trying to intercept Yami when Finral teleports him. He and the Third Eye could not sense Asta, who strikes a blow before Yami knocks Licht to the ground. The cave is filled with light, and Asta's sword nullifies a secret stabilizing spell. Licht's personality changes as he accuses Asta of stealing the Demon Slayer Sword and Demon Dweller Sword which once belonged to his master. The Third Eye abruptly end their duels to cast a stabilizing spell on Licht before bringing him and Valtos to safety. Asta faints from exhaustion, and Nozel watches him. Licht, Valtos, and Sally recuperate; Rades and the Third Eye argue about what to do because of Asta, and Rhya decides that they must speed up their plans. | ||||
38 | 'The Magic Knight Captains Conference' Transcription: 'Mahō Kishi-dan Danchō Kaigi' (Japanese: 魔法騎士団団長会議) | June 26, 2018 | September 16, 2018 | |
Asta awakens the next day after Klaus and Mimosa heal him, and Neige is taken into custody. Sister Theresa recovers and is pleased that Gauche's attitude has improved, although he is still obsessed with Marie. Rebecca kisses Asta on the cheek to thank him for saving her siblings and let Noelle know that she likes Asta too. After an eating contest at Black Bull headquarters, Yami is summoned by Julius to a meeting of the squad captains and to bring Asta. As Yami meets the other squad captains, the Wizard King's aide Marx Francois escorts Asta to a secret prison where Midnight Sun members Catherine and George are located. Julius, realizing there may be a traitor among the Knights, asks Asta to use his Demon Slayer Sword to break the spells on the Midnight Sun members (to protect their memories) as Marx proceeds with his inquiry. The squad captains bicker as they wait for Julius before they are summoned to the prison, where the Wizard King reveals that there is a traitor among them. | ||||
39 | 'Three-Leaf Salute' Transcription: 'Mitsuba no Keirei' (Japanese: 三つ葉の敬礼) | July 3, 2018 | September 23, 2018 | |
The traitor is Purple Orca squad captain Gueldre Poizot, and the other Magic Knight captains point out his criminality. Gueldre uses transparency magic to become invisible and flees. Asta tracks him, sensing his qi, and uses his anti-magic to make him visible. Gueldre is then trapped in a magic painting. His memory is examined, revealing his criminal activities. All the captains except Yami are excused; one is Rhya in disguise. Meeting with Yami and Asta, Julius reveals that Charlotte and George also revealed information about the stone tablet and the Midnight Sun's goal of collecting the magical stones so they can be reborn in their original forms. One of the four remaining stones is in the Underwater Temple, an area of strong magic which few can reach. He asks Yami to retrieve the stones (his subordinates have the fewest social ties, and the other Magic Knight squads could have traitors among them), and Yami remembers meeting the Wizard King when he received his grimoire. Yami agrees to the mission, and the Black Bull squad prepares for a trip to the beach (including Noelle, who is panicky at having to buy a bikini). | ||||
40 | 'A Black Beach Story' Transcription: 'Kuro no Kaigan Monogatari' (Japanese: 黒の海岸物語) | July 10, 2018 | September 30, 2018 | |
Yuno, Klaus and Mimosa hear a scream; it is Noelle, being undressed by Vanessa to try on bikinis. She buys the most expensive bikini, hoping that it will attract Asta. The Black Bulls fly to the beach and begin having fun; Noelle is embarrassed at how much skin her bikini reveals, but wants Asta to see her in it. However, every attempt to get Asta to notice her is ruined by the Bulls' antics. Sekke, also at the beach, is blasted into the ocean by the Bulls' stampede. Yami arrives and chastises them for loafing, explaining that the temple is on the ocean floor and protected by magic ocean currents strong enough to drown most people. They weaken during the full moon (a week away), and the only Black Bull capable of manipulating water is Noelle. Despite her lack of confidence, Yami orders her to practise controlling her magic enough to break through the current. She begins practising, turning her water shield into an airtight water bubble which would enable them to breathe underwater. Asta offers to help her train when they hear a voice; down the beach, a young woman is singing. | ||||
41 | 'The Water Girl Grows Up' Transcription: 'Mizu no Seichō Monogatari' (Japanese: 水の娘成長物語) | July 17, 2018 | October 7, 2018 | |
The girl, Kahano, explains that she is practising singing, dancing and magic to become an idol. Taking Asta's hand, she diagnoses him with muscle fatigue and uses song-recovery magic to heal him. Noelle is impressed; the magic requires great control, and she is intrigued by a female friend her own age. She describes her difficulties, and Kahano suggests that she cast her spells while summoning a pleasant memory; Noelle, however, has none. She practises and, on the night before the full moon, Asta suggests that she cast the spell randomly. The spell engulfs her, and she is overcome by feelings of failure and misery. Noellee sees the Bulls shouting encouragement, however, and is overwhelmed by pleasant memories of her friends (especially Asta). A new spell appears in her grimoire (the Sea Dragon's Cradle), and her water shield is transformed into an airtight water bubble. As the Bulls celebrate, Noelle realises that Kahano has disappeared. Yami watches from a distance, and is impressed with her. Kahano says to herself that she looks forward to seeing Noelle in the Underwater Temple, and jumps into the sea. | ||||
42 | 'The Underwater Temple' Transcription: 'Kaitei Shinden' (Japanese: 海底神殿) | July 24, 2018 | October 14, 2018 | |
The Bulls set off for the Underwater Temple, barely passing the magic currents with Noelle's cradle. They reach the temple, and find it surrounded by a magic barrier of spinning whirlpools. Yami throws Asta at the whirlpools, although Asta cannot swim; he cuts through them with his sword, allowing the cradle to enter. Inside and able to breathe, the Bulls find the Temple: a large city grown from glowing coral. Unseen, Nero (hiding in Asta's robe) flies ahead of them. They meet friendly temple residents, who ask them many questions about the surface and say that they have not had a visitor in over 10 years. Yami asks to see the person in charge, and they are brought to the high priest and easily defeat a fish monster. The high priest, the eccentric Gifso, says that the monster was a prank to frighten visitors. Gifso (who knows they want the magic stone) tells them that they must win a fight between the Bulls and the temple's warrior magicians. The Bulls are teleported throughout the temple and separated, forcing each to fight a warrior magician alone. Asta, confronted by an octopus-headed magician, prepares to fight. | ||||
43 | 'Temple Battle Royale' Transcription: 'Shinden Batoru Rowaiyaru' (Japanese: 神殿バトルロワイヤル) | July 31, 2018 | October 21, 2018 | |
Yami watches the fight with Gifso. Asta, Luck, Magna and Gauche quickly defeat their opponents, shocking Gifso and reducing the magicians to five. Gifso says that his three strongest magicians will surely win. Charmy is put to sleep by her opponent's lullaby magic, reducing the Bulls to eight. Asta encounters Kiato, who fights with swords and reveals that the high priest is his grandfather; if he wins, he can leave the temple and become a dancer. Noelle encounters Kahano, the lullaby magician, whose dream of becoming an idol also depends on defeating the Bulls; however, she insists on fighting fairly. Noelle protects herself with her water shield, but her attacks miss; Kahano tells her that she had perfect control all along, but misses because she wants to avoid hurting people. Noelle realises that she is right. Asta struggles to match Kiato's graceful dueling style. Vanessa defeats her opponent, leaving four magicians to the Bulls' eight. The magician facing Luck and Magna is Gio, the high priest's son, who he is crushed beneath a powerful spell as Vetto the Despair arrives with four Midnight Sun magicians to steal the magic stone. | ||||
44 | 'The Pointlessly Direct Fireball and the Wild Lightning' Transcription: 'Guchokuna Kakyū to Honpōna Inazuma' (Japanese: 愚直な火球と奔放な稲光) | August 7, 2018 | October 28, 2018 | |
Revealed as defeating a team of magicians before traveling to the Underwater Temple, Vetto fights Gio, Magna and Luck. When Gifso sees his son defeated, he tells Yami that his game spell has been cast; no outsider can interfere before they realize that they have been sealed in another dimension by Midnight Sun magician Abari. Yami contacts the Bulls and temple magicians, explaining that they must defeat Vetto; Gifso changes the rules, so the Bulls and temple magicians can have any wish if they defeat Vetto. Luck and Vetto duel at an incredible speed; Magna, who cannot keep up, attacks Vetto with fireballs. Luck remembers meeting Magna, and knowing instinctively that he was dangerous. He would annoy Magna into expressing his dangerous side, growing stronger and becoming Luck's first real friend. As Asta and Kiato race toward the battle, Asta asks why it was so hard to follow Kiato's qi; Kiato says that his dance magic puts him in a trance. His body moves without conscious thought, making his movements unpredictable even to one who can sense qi. Despite critical injuries, Luck and Magna hit Vetto with a combined Flame Lightning Exploding Cannon spell. | ||||
45 | 'The Guy Who Doesn't Know When to Quit' Transcription: 'Akirame no Warui Otoko' (Japanese: 諦めの悪い男) | August 14, 2018 | November 4, 2018 | |
Vetto blocks Luck and Magna's attack, and they collapse. Asta blocks his attempt to kill them, slashes his stomach, and fights him with Kiato. Vanessa and Gauche encounter Midnight Sun magicians, and Gauche's opponent has a magic chain capable of destroying his mirrors. Gauche, hiding, encounters a crab previously seen in the caves. He tricks the magician into thinking that he summoned his mirror clone, and defeats him. The fake clone is Grey (using transformation magic), who leads Gauche back to Charmy. They are trapped by another Midnight Sun magician, who begins draining their magic. Gauche remembers learning from Asta that friends protect each other. Grey transforms a boulder into a hunk of meat, and Gauche shouts at Charmy that the magician is stealing her dinner. The food-obsessed Charmy awakens from her enchanted sleep, and summons a Sheep Chef who crushes the magician. Out of magic, Grey is revealed as a shy, nervous young woman embarrassed when others see her true self. Vetto overpowers Asta; angry that he is using Licht's swords, he nearly breaks Asta's arm when Noelle and Kahono arrive. | ||||
46 | 'Awakening' Transcription: 'Kakusei' (Japanese: 覚醒) | August 21, 2018 | November 11, 2018 | |
Kahano and Kiato combine their song-and-dance magic to overwhelm Vetto before he severs Kiato's leg and crushes Kahono's throat. Defeating Gifso's sea monsters, Vetto remembers that his group had dreams before the humans showed them despair. Despite Noelle's reluctance, Kahono telepathically reassures her that she is strong enough to protect what is precious to her. Noelle gains full control of her power and casts another new spell, Sea Dragon's Roar (a giant water snake which overpowers Vetto, cutting off his arm). Yami, surprised, realises that Noelle is an attacking magician. When Vetto remembers meeting Licht before he attended a wedding where their people were killed, a third eye opens in the centre of his forehead. It enhances his mythical-beast magic, regrowing his severed arm. Yami, realising that the Midnight Sun are more than a terrorist organization, tells Noelle to run. Out of magic and overpowered, she is rescued by Asta. | ||||
47 | 'The Only Weapon' Transcription: 'Yuiitsu no Buki' (Japanese: 唯一の武器) | August 28, 2018 | November 25, 2018[h] | |
When she sees Vetto's transformation, Noelle remembers her grandmother's tale about a race of evil beings whose leader was defeated by the first Wizard King. Deciding to join the fight, Yami tries to escape from the dimension bubble; Vanessa uses string magic to defeat a Midnight Sun member. Finral decides to run away, but remains after hearing Asta shout about never giving up. Vetto tries to kill Luck, Magna, Kahono, Kiato and Gio, but Vanessa intervenes and traps him with her strings. He breaks free and attacks, but Finral reveals himself and sends the spell through his portals back to Vetto. Directed by Vanessa, Noelle keeps Luck, Magna, Kahono, Kiato and Gio safe inside her water shield. Although Finral is still terrified, Vanessa encourages him with a promised embrace if they win and helps Asta grip his sword by wrapping his hand with strings. As the battle begins, Vetto finds his spells redirected by Finral's portals (so he cannot fight long-range) and Asta wounds his cheek. | ||||
48 | 'Despair vs. Hope' Transcription: 'Zetsubō Bāsasu Kibō' (Japanese: 絶望VS希望) | September 4, 2018 | December 2, 2018 | |
Realising that wounds from anti-magic swords are immune to his healing magic, Vetto is no match for Asta (who uses Finral's portals and Vanessa's strings to manoeuvre around the battlefield, cutting Vetto's shoulder). Gauche, Grey and Charmy wait for their magic to recharge. Vetto begins to anticipate Asta's moves, and cuts his ribs. Yami warns Asta that unless he fights smarter and faster, Vetto's next blow will kill him. Although Finral and Vanessa begin to lose their magic, they are joined by the recharged Gauche, Grey and Charmy. Gauche fires mirror lasers at Vetto; Charmy uses her Giant Sheep Chef to create a smokescreen, and Grey uses transformation magic to turn puffs of the smoke into copies of Asta. Amidst the confusion, Asta reveals himself and stabs Vetto in the chest. | ||||
49 | 'Beyond Limits' Transcription: 'Genkai no Saki' (Japanese: 限界の先) | September 11, 2018 | December 9, 2018 | |
Vetto reveals that he attacked Asta to injure his arms and seize the Demon Dweller Sword. Refusing to lose, Asta retrieves the Demon Slayer Sword and described his promise to Yuto to never give up (as Vetto never gave up against him). Vetto, realising too late that he forgot the Demon Dweller Sword, discovers that he can no longer track his opponent's movements. Seeing Asta's demonic aura, he thinks his opponent is inhuman before his defeat with a powerful blow. As Yami wonders about Asta's demonic power, the Black Bulls' celebration is short-lived; Vetto, awakening up from a dream of himself and Licht as children, decides to use his remaining magic to self-destruct and destroy the Underwater Temple. This forces Yami to break Abari's barrier with his space-cutting Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash – defeating the Midnight Sun magician, reaching his team and using his spell again to kill Vetto. | ||||
50 | 'End of the Battle, End of Despair' Transcription: 'Tatakai no Hate Zetsubō no Owari' (Japanese: 戦いの果て 絶望の終わり) | September 18, 2018 | December 16, 2018 | |
After Vetto's death, Gifso thanks the Bulls and offers them a reward for winning his game. When Yami asks for the magic stone, Gifso says that he does not know anything about it. Nero arrives with the stone, however, and Gifso gladly gives it to the Bulls. The remaining Midnight Sun members begin planning to retrieve the stone. The Bulls are embarrassed when the entire Underwater Temple gathers outside their hospital room to thank them; this is unprecedented, since they are the worst squad in the kingdom. Noelle apologises to Kahono and Kiato for the loss of her voice and his leg, but Kahono promises that she will find a way to sing again. Kiato falls in love with Noelle when she smiles, and is determined to dance again to impress her. Nero shows Asta Yami's makeshift shrine to Vetto. Asta tells Yami that although he cannot forgive the Midnight Sun, he sympathises with them; Yami tells him to continue achieving his dreams. As the Black Bulls go home with Vetto's subordinates through Finral's portal, Kahono struggles to sing a song in their honour and is joined by the entire Underwater Temple. | ||||
51 | 'Proof of Rightness' Transcription: 'Tadashi-sa no Shōmei' (Japanese: 正しさの証明) | September 25, 2018 | January 6, 2019[i] | |
The Black Bulls realise that they left Gordon behind. Although they think he is angry, he is depressed because he cannot make himself understood. Yami, Charmy and Asta present Julius with the stone, Vetto's body and the captured Midnight Sun magicians. Marx tells Julius that Diamond Kingdom magicians are attacking Kiten, a fortress on the Clover Kingdom's border with the Diamond Kingdom. The Wizard King realizes the seriousness of the situation, since the army is led by three of the kingdom's Eight Shining Generals: Ragus, Broccos and Yagos. The knights in Kiten are overwhelmed when Ragos breaks through their barrier with lightning arrows. Yagos plans an attack strategy and Broccos charges wildly, breaking through the city wall with a magic bore. The Golden Dawn squad, including Yuno, arrive to defend Kiten. Broccos charges at Yuno, but his bore is destroyed by wind magic. Yami offers to go to Kiten through Finral's portal to see Golden Dawn captain William Vangeance. He reconsiders Charmy's offer to protect Asta safe, although she wants to see Yuno. In Kiten, Vangeance notes how strong Yuno has become and decides to join the battle. |

52 | 'Whoever's Strongest Wins' Transcription: 'Tsuyoi Hōga Katsu' (Japanese: 強い方が勝つ) | October 2, 2018 | January 13, 2019 | |
Broccos prepares to fight Yuno, but Ragus insists on fighting instead. Yuno's wind arrows, made more powerful by Bell's magic, destroy Ragus’ lightning arrows. Yagos encases himself in a giant snail made of mucus and begins draining magic from injured mages. The Golden Dawn's vice-captain Langris Vaude, Finral's younger brother who also uses portal magic, teleports away part of Yagos' snail along with his right arm. Vangeance uses his magic to grow tree roots over the entire area. Lotus realises the roots drain the magic of whoever touches them and tries to warn the Generals, but Broccos and Ragus are too busy arguing. Vangeance activates his World Tree Magic, the Great Mistilteinn Tree, which grows over the whole area and ensnares the Diamond Kingdom mages. Yami and the Bulls arrive in Kiten. Yami orders Charmy, Asta and Finral to help the citizens while he finds Vangeance. Ragus and Yuno begin dueling, but Yuno is far superior in skill and power and impales Ragus with a wind trident, defeating him. Yuno meets with Asta and surprises Finral by greeting Asta warmly, something Finral cannot understand as his rivalry with his brother was far from friendly. Mimosa offers to heal Asta's broken arms. He insists Mimosa help everyone else first. Broccos attempts to kill Vangeance but is defeated instantly. Lotus attempts to sneak up on Vangeance hidden inside his smoke but is prevented from attacking by Yami. Rather than fight, Lotus retrieves Broccos and retreats. Yami confronts Vangeance and asks him to remove his mask. | ||||
53 | 'Behind the Mask' Transcription: 'Kamen no Oku' (Japanese: 仮面の奥) | October 9, 2018 | January 20, 2019 | |
Finral meets his younger brother Langris. When Langris mocks Finral, Asta revealing his role in defeating Vetto. Langris is attacked by Yagos using civilians as a human shield. Langris, who does not care about civilians, prepares to attack until Asta stops him. Using Charmy’s Cotton sheep as a springboard, Asta lunges at Yagos and uses Finral's portals to manoeuvre while holding his sword in his teeth to spare his arms. First, he nullifies Yagos' mucus, freeing the hostages, and then knocks Yagos into a wall. Finral finally confronts his younger brother and promises the Black Bulls will surpass the Golden Dawn. Vangeance eventually agrees to remove his mask as he knows Yami believes he is Licht even though he and the Midnight Sun leader use different types of magic. Removing his mask reveals that it conceals a birthmark covering the top half of his face. In a flashback, Vangeance is frequently abused by his foster parents because of his face. Eventually, Julius creates his mask while urging him to join the Magic Knights. In the present, Yami accepts that Vangeance is not Licht and leaves.
