02x35 - Yami and Vangeance

[bunniefuu]

It appeared as if humanity will soon
be destroyed by the demons.

But there was a mage who fought alone
and saved everyone.

He was called the Magic Emperor
and became a legend.

When the young Yami
was on martial arts training,

he took on a job to stop a group of
magical bandits ransacking a village.

As a result,
he got into a fight with the bandits.

As they were fighting…

Is your name Yami?

Please take care of the guys at the back.

Yami ran into Vangeance who was
working on other assignments nearby.

I'll prove to you by becoming the captain
of a Magic Knights Squad first.

Let's compete and see
who will get to the position first.

Afterward, many things occurred.

A few years later,

when Sir Julius became the Magic Emperor,

Charismatic Weirdo Mask Man and I
were promoted together

and became the vice-captains
of the Grey Deer squad.

And then, one day…

JULIUS NOVACHRONO

Hey, just the guys I want to see.

Welcome.

Save the small talk.

Exactly.

I heard that you were outstanding
in the exploration of the new dungeon.

Thank you.

Thanks to your magic,

the teammates stuck in traps were rescued.

I would really like to see
what kind of magic that is!

But of course, the badge for
your bravery will be conferred next time.

I am honored.

Thank you.

I heard that when defending Cook City,

you were as forceful as a lion.

I heard that a gigantic warrior that
the enemies used Rock Magic to make

was slashed into half by you.

You're really

fair in your judgment.

Are you giving me an honorary badge too?

Of course.

Your captain must be very proud.

Magic Emperor,

it's time.

Gosh, I almost forgot.

Thank you for taking time out of
your busy schedule to see me.

-It's fine.
-It's fine.

I actually have a job for the two of you.

-The bandits?
-The bandits?

Yes, they are wreaking havoc
in various places.

Could you arrest them
and bring them to justice?

Of course, as members of
the Magic Knights,

we live to serve the people
of the Clover Kingdom.

Let us handle it. But then…

Why us?

Well,

because somebody in the Knights squad
might be helping the bandits.

I guess this must be it.

They aren't like
the usual bandits you see.

Somehow, they are more organized

and equipped with an ancient magic tool.

Of course, they also have
a lot of raw power.

It is also possible that the magic tools
found in our dungeon have been stolen.

I see.

That's why you want us for the job.

You're worried that the Knights squad
will make a move.

They will try to destroy evidence
and cut off all contacts.

So we have to be secretive, don't we?

That's right.

Sir Julius,

what if we are the traitors?

What are you going to do then?

We might let the bandits go.

That would be bad.

But then again,

I think I know both of you very well

and I knew you well even before
you joined the Knights squad.

So I trust you.

But if you are the traitor,
there's nothing I can say.

This guy sounds really convincing.

I'll let you take over now.

Yes.

RAYAKA, NAIRN, KIKKA, RAQUE

The villages that were ransacked by
the bandits are marked.

I see. They are very elusive.

They probably don't want people
to guess their next destination.

Although we've notified the Knights squad
in various areas to remain alert,

this notification might have been
leaked as well.

They specifically target areas
that are not on guard.

If we want to get them,

we must find out their next destination.

But this looks difficult.

No, it's simple.

We can eliminate places
that have been ransacked.

The most probable destinations are places
that have treasures discovered lately

or will have harvest soon,
especially areas with a great harvest.

Even so, there are still over ,
maybe places.

Areas adjacent to places that
have been ransacked can also be eliminated

because the neighboring towns will
be on high alert.

-It won't be easy for the next operation.
-Even so--

Having said that, there's not enough
manpower with just the two of us. Right?

I know what you mean. So…

Here and here.

We can send
the Knights squad to this village.

Shall we say
it's for preventing the bandits?

Why?

If the information is leaked,
wouldn't it be all for naught?

I see.

Since the information
will be leaked anyway,

we can use it to our advantage instead.

That's right.

They will avoid places
where the Magic Knights are on alert.

They will ransack places
without the Knights squad first.

Of course I knew that.

I was just testing you.

In that case,

the places that those guys
will ransack are

Amaya City or Zucdany Village,
aren't they?

Yami, how is it over there?

Nothing unusual so far.

Recently, at a cave near Zucdany Village,

an ancient magic tool was found.

It is placed at the village chief's
altar and treated like a treasure.

Even within the Knights squad,
not many people know this.

If the bandits are coming for it,

their information is too good to be true.

It is no doubt coming from the mole.

That's true.

How's Amaya City?

There's nothing unusual here either.

After the harvest,

people are preparing for
the harvesting celebration.

The harvest is great this year.

It means it will be
worth the bandits' while.

Yami, I need to check with you again.

No matter which side
the bandits come after,

none of us should act alone.

We must keep closely in touch,

and wait for the other before
launching a counterattack, okay?

Got it.

Don't act first because of

the honorary badge.

I won't.

I'll notify you if anything happens.

Jeez!

They're here.

Hey, they are coming, Weirdo Mask Man!

Can you hear me? Hey!

What's going on?

The device worked, didn't it?

The feeling of this aura.

Are they stopping the flow of magic?

They must be jamming
our communication somehow.

They aren't the usual bandits after all.

There's a mole in the Knights squad,
isn't there?

I have to get him.

There are of them.

No, there's more.

Almost .

No matter which side
the bandits come after,

none of us should act alone.

We must keep closely in touch.

Even so, I can't get to him.

There's nothing I can do

except to take action alone.

I'll strike before they enter the village.

Dark Cloaked…

Black Blade!

What happened?

There are guards, split up!

-Who are you?
-Are you a Magic Knight?

You've got some guts coming here alone.

We'll teach you a lesson.

Dark Magic, Dark Cloaked…

Avidya Slash!

That way, half of them are finished.

Are you the boss?

I seem to have seen you before.

You don't look like a Magic Knight though.

You're from back then.

Back when?

A few years ago,

we att*cked a small village
but you stopped us.

I can finally get back at you today.

A few years ago?

You were from back then! I see.

Let alone the tasteless styling,

even though he doesn't have much power,

his staff can cause some trouble.

Which dungeon was the treasure found?

Don't think I'm like before.

Let me ask you this.
Who gave you that staff?

Defeat me first if you want to know.

Eat this!

Why did you make futile resistance?

Okay.

Now, tell me the truth.

Who gave you this staff?

Five, four,

-Wait, I'll tell you.
-three…

To tell you the truth…

Go into the house.

Mr. Magic Knight, don't move.

If you move, things will turn ugly.

I'll get back at you times more.

How?

Do you think your g*ng can defeat me?

They might not be able to.

But…

What?

This magic…

It's a type of Earth Magic,

called “Witch Hunter Claws.”

This is also an Earth Magic,
called “Sheep Horn Snag.”

I must have met you before.

You are Goht from Crimson Lion
and Mohl from Silver Eagle, aren't you?

I didn't expect there to be two moles.

You are the ones leaking the information
on the magic tool to the bandits

and have them ransacked towns
and villages, aren't you?

It won't work.

Human power can't overcome it.

You are a disgrace to the Magic Knights.

You're the foreigner
who caught the Magic Emperor's eye.

Yami Sukehiro, right?

I had a feeling that
the Magic Emperor was making a move.

Turns out, this is it.

When the Magic Emperor ordered

the Knights squad
to guard the towns nearby,

it was a trap.

It was to limit our points of att*ck.

We totally fell for it.

Both of you are impressive.

You don't care that it's a trap.

Find the treasure.

Yes. It's in
the village chief's house, isn't it?

Hey, lead the way.

Okay.

You lot, come with me.

-Aye!
-Aye!

Magic Knights live to serve the people
of the Clover Kingdom.

But what you are doing…

We will report to the Magic Emperor
that we saw you m*rder*d by the bandits.

Don't think I'll be defeated so easily.

I will get back at you
a million times more.

Gosh, this sounds like something
a nobody would say.

Goodbye.

Let's see how long you can hold up.

Give up already.

I would never give up so easily.

Not yet.

I'm not done.

You're reaching your limit, aren't you?

So what?

I will show you how I surpass my limit.

Now! Right here!

What's this?

Dracaena Formation.

Are you all right?

You're slow.

Don't whine.
I got here as fast as I could.

Once I found out
I couldn't get in touch with you,

I realized the bandits must have
gone to Zucdany Village.

I owe you one.

But I'll return the favor right away,
Weirdo Mask Man.

Those guys are the culprits.

Goht and Mohl.

I see.

William Vangeance.

Were you sent here
by the Magic Emperor too?

I will defeat you
and Yami Sukehiro together.

Damn it!

att*ck of the Horn!

Dark Cloaked Avidya Slash!

I said I would get back at you
a million times more, didn't I?

Please spare me.

That's impressive.

Let's talk this out.

Do you want to join us
and make big accomplishments?

Join you?

Yes, it's going to be fun.

Sounds good.

But no, thank you.

I've pledged my allegiance
to the Magic Emperor.

Really?

That's too bad then.

I've returned the favor right away.

This is saddening.

Who knew that there were traitors
among the Magic Knights.

After this,

what's left is…

Yes.

I don't know who that is but go after him.

I didn't mean to strike.

But a little help won't hurt.

What happened there?

Good work, guys.

Not only did you catch the moles,

but you also arrested all the bandits.

Well, the boss of the bandits passed out
on his own at a tree though.

Really?

But seriously, great work, you two.

By the way,

Yami and Vangeance,

with your outstanding performance,

I'll appoint you as captains
of two new Knights squads.

Appoint us?

As captains of two new Knights squads?

Would you take it?

We were competing to see
who'd make the captain first.

-It's a draw then.
-I think so too.

-But there's more competition to come.
-Right.

I won't lose.

Me too.

I trust you guys.

Yami, what kind of squad are you forming?

What kind of squad?

Well, let me think.

A squad that accommodates people
with unique or uncontrollable behavior,

despite their status,
background, and identity.

Just like how you used to treat me.

Good. This is a great idea.

It should be called…

Well,

as there'll be different characters,

their colors will turn murky because of
the influence on one another.

When all the colors combine into one,

it will become black.
Black and uncontrollable.

Right, just like a bull.

Okay, it will be called the Black Bull.

The Black Bulls.

It fits you.

And you?

I want to form the Golden Dawn.

-Golden?
-Yes.

I want to form the strongest squad

to repay your kindness, Sir Julius.

As the name suggests,
it will bring the world golden dawn.

That's the goal of the squad.

I will prove to you that no matter
how dark the night is,

with the sun,
there'll be light sooner or later.

Aren't you a bit old-fashioned?

This is a great idea too.

I look forward to it.

From today on, you will be
the captain of Golden Dawn.

-Congratulations, William.
-Thank you.

From today on,

you will be the captain of
the Black Bull of the Magic Knights.

Congratulations, Yami.

I look forward to
working with you, Golden.

That's what happened.

What do you think?

Well, a lot has happened.

But why are you telling us this?

Even when you stumble or are losing,

you will succeed as long as
you don't give up.

No matter the circumstances,
never give up.

Surpass your limits.

Once you do that, your path will open up.

Don't act like it's the end of the world
just because you lost to your rival once.

Even if you lose times,
win the next round.

I see.

You could have said that
right from the beginning.

That's painful!

Captain, my head will burst open!

But it's just like what the captain said.

It's useless to stay defeated.

Okay, I'll work hard to catch up to Yuno.

And then, I'll surpass him!

By the way,

the results of the Royal Knights Selection
Exam should be here by now, right?

You're right.

I'm looking forward to it.

Come on, messenger bird.

What's going on? It doesn't sound like
the messenger bird.

Whoever that is, stop it!

This is the Magic Knights led by Yami,

the Black Bull--

What's going on?

You are…

Sisgoleon?

-Petite Clover!
-Petite Clover!

Charismatic Weirdo Mask Man.

Hey, Charismatic Weirdo Mask Man.

I really hope you won't call me that.

Then,

how about M-Shaped Balding
Weirdo Mask Man?

Don't call me that either.

M-Shaped Balding Underwear Mask Man.

Don't call me that.

M-Shaped Balding Long Underpants
Stomach Band Mask Man.

This is getting off-topic.

M-Shaped Balding Long Underpants Stomach
Band Mask Man with Japanese Moustache.

How long is this going to go on?

M-Shaped Balding Long Underpants Stomach
Band Mask Man with Japanese Moustache

and Undershirt and Socks Worn Inside Out.

-How long is this going to go on?
-How about just Naked Mask Man?

Finally, it's the announcement of who
passed the Royal Knights Selection Exam.

I'll be selected for sure.

I'm not worried.

Black Clover, Page ,

"Formation of the Royal Knights."

I'm all fired up!
