03x01 - Release from Misfortune

[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.

Rhya, let's go.

Licht and his companions
reincarnated as elves

were on their way to the Royal Capital.

Let's go then.

Let's get our other companions

and exterminate the human race.

Okay, let's go!

To save Clover Kingdom,
Asta and Yuno headed to the Royal Capital.

However, on the way,

they found out that their hometown,
Hage, was under att*ck.

So they separated from Noelle
and the others and rushed to Hage.

-Let us handle the rest.
-Let us handle the rest.

What about this?

Poison Plant Magic,

Zofnir's Breath and Zofnir's Fingers.

Asta tried to cure the priest
poisoned by Poison Plant Magic,

but even with the Demon-Slayer Sword,

he couldn't remove the poison.

Father, I'm not done yet!

No, you can't die!

Even from this day onward,

you still have to keep taking care of us!

This sword…

At the base of the Eye
of the Midnight Sun, that guy used it too.

When did it get into my grimoire?

This sword might work.

Wait, this is the sword
the enemy's leader used.

Is that sword…

Why would that kid…

What's happening?

Asta, what's happening to you?

The Black Power flowing into me

is incomparable to other swords I've held.

Focus.

Don't defy the flow of power.

Use it as if it's mine.

Treat it as part of me.

Now!

This is…

The poison is gone.

Please, I must make it.

-Father.
-Father.

What?

Am I dreaming?

Wasn't I dead?

Asta healed you.

This is great.

Asta is powerful indeed.

That's great!

I feel that this sword is like
an uncontrollable wild horse.

But maybe I can use this power

to heal everyone
who has turned into our enemies.

It lifts the poison state caused by magic.

That sword is…

What are you looking at?

Mana Zone,

Crescent Kamaitachi,

Four Blades.

Why?

You're under Reincarnation Magic
just as we do.

How can you maintain
your human consciousness?

Isn't it Licht's magic

in the sword held by that guy?

Why would

that human with no magical power…

What is this?

Who are both of you?

These ugly and filthy humans…

This is great.

I can make it to Mr. Licht's wedding.

Wait. You're not bringing
those ugly flowers as gifts, are you?

Are they ugly?

But they're nonpoisonous.

And I think they are beautiful.

I like them.

-Licht.
-Mr. Licht.

The language of this flower
is "the tenderness hidden within."

Since they look like poison plants,

we and the birds don't approach them.

But the bugs know we won't touch them,

so for them, they make a safe habitat.

Don't you think it's just like us,
the elves and humans?

We hate and fight each other

because we don't understand each other.

I think Tetia will love it too.

Thank you.

Yes.

We tried to understand each other,

but we have learned the lesson…

of such ugliness.

Humans, I will never forgive you!

Don't stand in us elves' way!

This feeling is…

Human…

That person doesn't have magic power.

His soul has lost control.

Yes, I felt it through my magical power.

The elf soul in his body is suffering.

It's like the elves are crying for help.

Yuno!

Asta, let's do this.

If it goes on,

he'll become something other than elves.

We need to release the elf.

How could this be?

He blocked Yuno's att*ck.

I've cleared the way for you.

Asta!

He removed the Reincarnation Magic?

With this sword,

I can save everyone.

We can win thanks to Yuno.
You must thank him.

Not all of it was his doing.

Asta, you just need to hold your sword.

It's % my doing.

What?

If you take % of the credit,
I'll take %.

-It's not even possible.
-What an idiot.

-Asta!
-Hey!

-Yuno!
-Yuno!

I thought we were going to die.

Asta, you're so cool!

You protected Sister Lily too.
You're brave.

Thank you for saving me.

I was scared to death.

Please, I won't let you hug Yuno.

It's small and so cute.

It's like a doll.

-Let's play "changing clothes."
-Wait, stop now!

I'm one of the Four Great Spirits.

Asta and Yuno.

Father.

Are you all right?

I'm fine, just a little dizzy.

It seems the poison was removed
from everyone.

Thank you for saving this village.

The two of you

have become outstanding now.

Yes!

I love you, please marry--

Water Creation Magic, Holy Fist of Love!

My reflex action just…

It feels nostalgic.

Please give me another punch!

Impossible.

That's weird. Yuno's ears are pointed.

It's true.

We have matching ears.

Asta and Yuno.

What's happening to this kingdom?

Horrible things are happening one by one.

It's confusing.

We can't stay for long,

-but it's better to tell them.
-Yes.

There might be more reincarnated
Magic Knights attacking this place.

Don't worry.

We'll protect

-this kingdom and everyone.
-This kingdom and everyone.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, I have bad news.

Why are you shouting?

How dare you disturb my sleep?

Please forgive me,

but this is serious.

There are mages attacking
the whole Royal Capital.

You can ask Julius to handle it.

We do not know of
the Magic Emperor's whereabouts.

We can't reach him.

The headquarters of the Magic Knights
is in chaos.

What?

In such a dire situation…

Never mind.

It's finally my turn to shine.

Every single time…

He was more outstanding than me.

Now, I can take over

the army-commanding position of Julius,
who likes to show off.

Your Majesty is the best.

Your Majesty is the smartest.

Release the order to summon

all captains of
the Magic Knights squads at once.

Actually, the order was released long ago.

But almost none of the captains
have responded.

There are rumors that some captains
turned against the Magic Knights.

What did you say?

The arrested Langris fled

and led the members of Golden Dawn

to clear the path for our enemies.

It seems our reincarnated elf friends
are taking action.

I wish they would leave
some humans for us,

but it seems impossible now.

I'm a calm person,

but I still can't suppress my anger
when I see those humans.

I've always thought
you put up a calm facade,

but you're passionate inside.

But even I wouldn't be able to stay calm.

We can understand each other.

These guys are just like us, aren't they?

They're mad because
something precious to them was hurt.

Kid.

I'm sorry,
but it's impossible to stop now.

The rest of us are awakening.

Just give up.

There's a magical power that
expanded and disappeared near Hage.

It's a strong magical power.

But Asta and Yuno will be fine.

We have made a promise.

They'll go to the Royal Capital
once they saved the village.

Yes, so we must do our job too.

They left the team with a prepared mind.

We must focus on what we should do.

-Yes.
-Yes.

And the boss they fought with
in the hideout,

Licht, is very powerful.

Asta, we aren't getting
what you're saying.

Don't talk when you're eating.

What can I do?

There's no time…

Asta, are you all right?

Except for the strength,

you haven't changed much.

The main point is,
the Magic Knights who were on our side

have been reincarnated as elves

and are attacking humans.

Am I right?

Right, that's exactly what it is.

How can you understand his mumbling words?

Of course, it's because I raised Asta.

He has become so outstanding.

Yuno on the other hand
has always been good.

Father is crying again.

Yes.

I'm so happy.

Excuse me…

Who are you?

Do you not remember me?

I fought against you.

Thank you for saving me
from being controlled by elves.

My name is Digit.

DIGIT TALISS

Is this your own personality?

Yes.

I'm always like this.

Why is this happening?

I'm a Magic Knight of Purple Orca.

It's the problematic squad

where the ex-captain, Gueldre,
accepted bribes.

I tried to save our reputation

by keeping my feet on the ground
and patrolling the Forsaken Realm.

These are the endangered
Umazra Strawberries.

This insectivorous plant
isn't recorded in the index.

The Forsaken Realm is indeed

the treasury of the valuable plants
absent in Royal Capital.

While I was looking around,

I got lost.

When I woke up again,

I was no longer myself

and started attacking the village.

This is ridiculous.

What is actually happening?

Impossible.

But there's one thing I'm sure of.

The elf soul reincarnated in my body

does not wish for such a thing to happen.

He doesn't want to hate someone

or to fight for something.

Yuno, let's go!

Not just humans,

-but we have to save elves too.
-Yes.

You're leaving already?

It was hard for us to meet again.

No, you can't!

Tell us more stories!

Don't whine.

Asta and Yuno must protect the kingdom

because many people
are in crisis like we were.

Will you write back?

-Yes, I will.
-Of course.

Asta should practice your calligraphy

because we can't really read your letters.

Asta and Yuno,

please stay alive!

Okay!

Old man, let's chat next time.

Okay.

Wait, you should call me Father.

Okay, Old Father.

You don't have to add "Old."

Excuse me.

Could you please take me with you?

I may look weak,
but I'm still a Magic Knight.

You're right.

Let's go together.

Until next time!

We'll be back after saving the kingdom.

-Asta!
-Asta!

-Yuno!
-Yuno!

I'm glad you wrote back and sent us money,

but I'm the happiest
to see you return safe and sound.

Take care!

Sister Lily, I love you!

You're noisy.

"Saving the kingdom"?

Asta, who doesn't have any magic,
has grown up.

So has Yuno.

He's the hope of Hage now

but he was once a timid crybaby.

Gosh, they have become
outstanding men now.

Stay safe on your trip!

What are those rocks?

Okay, it's time to play.

We've been delayed
because many things happened.

We must hurry.

I sense the magical power
of elves from ahead,

coming from the north and south.

Perhaps it's like me,

Magic Knights reincarnated as elves
that are attacking humans.

What should we do?

Should we rush to the Royal Capital?

Even if they are not
from Royal Capital or Hage,

-they're still people of this kingdom.
-You've made your decision.

It's faster

if we split up to save them.

Who should I follow?

Go with Yuno.

I can do it alone.

Take him, Asta.

That's right.

Yuno is stronger than you.

What do you mean?

Stop, take him, Yuno.

-Follow Asta.
-Follow Yuno.

-Follow Asta.
-Follow Yuno.

-Asta.
-Yuno.

-Follow Asta.
-Follow Yuno.

I can use this sword
to exorcise the elves.

Yuno can't really defeat them,

so it's better to take him with you.

You are annoyingly right.

Why is it annoying?

You can at least freeze the opponents
with your poison, right?

I don't get much of what you said,

but you're so mean to me.

Yuno.

Asta.

-See you at the Royal Capital.
-See you at the Royal Capital.

-Petite Clover!
-Petite Clover!

-Split Up.
-Split Up.

Asta, will it be okay with you to split up

and go alone without me?

Of course I'll be okay.

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

I'll ask you for the last time.

Would it be okay with you to split--

I said I'd be okay!

Yuno, are you scared?

Impossible.

If so, let's split up.

See you at the Royal Capital.

Okay.

See you.

So mean.

What are you doing?

You're so mean!

We came here
because the city is under att*ck.

Luck, what are you doing?

Wait.

Why are you attacking me?

"Lightning of Rage vs. Friends."

Vanessa, please bring Luck back!
