Black Clover (2017)

In this world, everyone can use magic… and in a land called the Clover Kingdom, two young men, Asta and Yuno, strive to become the Wizard King, the greatest of all magic users. Asta and Yuno were abandoned together at a church in Hage, a village in the boonies, and lived as brothers from that day onward. For some reason, however, Asta never developed the ability to use magic, even when Yuno had already mastered wind magic. Now, at last, the boys are turning fifteen, the age at which children receive their own grimoires. Asta has high hopes that receiving his grimoire will awaken his latent ability to use magic, but when the time comes…

The grimoire that Yuno received was a legendary grimoire with a four-leaf clover. A bandit named Revchi comes to steal it, and Asta comes to Yuno’s rescue.

Asta and Yuno spend six months training for the upcoming Magic Knights Entrance Exam. Everyone seems to think Yuno is sure to pass, but worries that Asta is just wasting his time.

Asta and Yuno head toward the colosseum in the royal capital for the Magic Knights Entrance Exam, while looking around and admiring all the things they’ve never seen before.

The entrance exam finally comes to a close. The time has arrives for the captains to decide which candidates they want to join their squads.

Asta has arrived at the home of the Black Bulls, which Yami himself called the absolute worst Magic Knights Squad. He is greeted by the squad’s unique members.

As a new member of the Black Bulls, Asta is thrilled to receive his very first private room, even though it’s tiny. Everything Asta sees as Magna shows him around the squad’s base is new and exciting to him.

The Magic Knights: heroes that everyone in the kingdom looks up to and dreams of becoming one day. But the new recruit, Asta, has yet to do anything that seems like what a Magic Knight should be doing, as he’s stuck doing random chores.

On Yami’s orders, Asta and Noelle go on their first mission with Magna to hunt wild boars. They successfully complete the mission and go to Saussy Village to meet with the mayor, Seyhe.

Asta, Noelle, and Magna are doing their best to protect the villagers of Rayaka from the ice magic user Heath and his underlings, but Asta’s attacks don’t seem to be working, and Magna’s magical powers are running low.

It’s payday! Vanessa takes Asta and Noelle to the castle town of Kikka for a little shopping, where they encounter many familiar faces along the way.

All eyes are on Asta as he and Sekke race to capture a purse-snatcher. Meanwhile, Yuno’s first Golden Dawn mission takes him to an unexpected place.

Yuno never expected his last-minute detour to involve such tragedy. It’s up to the Golden Dawn to get the bottom of their mission’s many mysteries.

Asta and Noelle are charged with exploring a newly discovered dungeon full of magical traps. Their leader, the battle-mad Luck, is less than helpful.

Suddenly the dungeon is host to several teams racing through traps to the treasure waiting in its depth—including a noted mage from an enemy nation.

Asta, Yuno, and their squadmates must take on daunting foes on their way to the heart of the dungeon, but Luck remains dead set on fighting all alone.

The Diamond Kingdom’s secret weapon wields more powerful magic than anyone has seen. The Golden Dawn team is all but decimated. Can he be defeated?

The Clover Kingdom’s Magic Knights reach the dungeon’s treasure hall, but another daunting battle keeps them from reveling in their victory for long.

As life slowly returns to normal in the royal capital, the Wizard King reaches an uncomfortable conclusion about the invasion and how it came about.

Finral invites two of his squadmates to a mixer, but they aren’t the only Magic Knights who show up. Asta gets closer to a certain young woman.

Old friends and fellow squad members reminisce about Asta: his humble beginnings, his craziest battles—and underlying it all, his burning ambition.

The Black Bulls get a day off, which Gauche spends visiting his beloved sister Marie. Then a mysterious tragedy befalls the village—is Marie safe?

Asta and Gauche scour the countryside in search of Nean’s children, who have fallen into the clutches of a ruthless monster thirsty for their magic.

As expected, there were bigger baddies behind the abduction of Nean’s children. Luckily Sister Theresa is on hand to join the fight for their freedom.

Gauche reflects on his past as he struggles with protecting Marie versus helping Asta in his downhill battle against Sally’s mutant magic monster.

Backup arrives for Asta’s showdown against the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun. Asta must push past his limits to pull off a tricky technique.

The Black Bulls relax at the beach as they gear up for their secret mission. Noelle’s showing off new swimsuit—if Asta would pay any attention.

Noelle’s magic is indispensable for the fight ahead. A new friend has some tips to help improve her magic control, but Noelle has a long way to go.

The eccentric high priest of the Underwater Temple makes it crystal clear that the Black Bulls won’t get their hands on the magic stone that easily.

It’s the misfit magicians of the Black Bulls up against the fearsome fish-masked Temple Mages. Noelle faces a surprising foe, and Asta uses his head.

A dangerous interloper has muscled his way into the Underwater Temple fight, and it’s up to Yami’s crew to deal with him and his mind-boggling might.

While Asta has his hands more than full with Vetto, Gauche must think outside the box as he takes on some of the beastly mage’s talented minions.

The Black Bulls and their new Underwater Temple friends pull out all the stops to take down Vetto, but there’s far more to him than meets the eye.

Vanessa and Finral find inspiration as a tattered remnant of Black Bulls bands together to tackle the mighty Vetto—who shows no sign of slowing down.

Finral and Vanessa reflect on their pasts while guiding Asta’s attacks, but they’ll need to change it up to keep the furry fiend Vetto on his toes.

Noelle’s contingent is intent on infiltrating the Forest of Witches. They’ll need mighty magic to get past the relentless security and meet the queen.

Faced with the destruction of her forest and the deaths of her “daughters,” the Queen of Witches helps Asta to help her fend off two invading armies.

Together, Asta and friends must find a way to extinguish the flames of Fana’s deep-seated hatred—and the literal flames of her fire spirit familiar.

He goes after the king’s life but Finral shows up with Captain Yami and Captain Jack. Despite knowing the difference in power between him and his younger brother, Finral continues to support Captain Yami and Captain Jack in this fight against Langris. Finral goes for a risky attack which injures him, and…

As the battle at Clover Castle continues the Shadow Palace appears. Captain Yami and Captain Jack get a bad feeling about this, so they try to infiltrate the palace, but Magic Knights who had reincarnated as elves keep getting in their way. Then Asta and the other Black Bulls as well as Rades, Sally, and Valtos arrive! Asta tries to undo the reincarnation spell that’s been cast on the Magic Knights, but then the Captain of the Coral Peacocks, Dorothy Unsworth, who has also reincarnated as an elf appears before them!

Due to Captain Dorothy’s magic, Vanessa, who can use magic to alter fate and Charmy, who can use magic to recover mana had disappeared. Asta and the remaining Black Bulls have lost the bulk of their defense and are now struggling against Gauche and Marie’s combo magic being used against them. Meanwhile, Vanessa and her team try to figure out how to get out of Captain Dorothy’s dream world.

Vanessa and her team are able to figure out how to leave Captain Dorothy’s Glamour World due to quick thinking on Sally’s part, but it’s easier said than done. But then Luck gets an idea to help them out. Meanwhile, Asta continues to try to undo the reincarnation spell on Gauche and Marie but can’t even get close to them. Henry sees this and decides to make a great sacrifice…

After their last battle, Asta and some of the others decide to chase after Captain Yami and some others who had already headed into the Shadow Palace. However, the elves get in their way. It was then that Captain Fuegoleon and Captain Mereoleona, both who had just awakened, showed off their true powers. Asta and the others are happy to have their help, but then notice that the door to the Shadow Palace closing. In order to get Asta and his group into the palace, the other Black Bulls hold off the elves outside.

The Black Bulls fight off the elves as Asta and the captains head into the Shadow Palace. However, they start to feel cornered from being so run down from one battle after another. It was then that Yuno had finally arrived to save them, bringing other Magic Knights he found throughout the land with him. Yuno hears the situation from Charmy and decides to head into the Shadow Palace, too. However, the entrance was now closed. But then, his pendant starts to react in a strange way…

Yuno manages to enter the Shadow Palace with his pendant and runs into Patry and the others. However, his pendant is immediately stolen. Now, all of the necessary magic stones have been collected and the elves’ wish was supposed to come true. However, an uninvited guest appears before them: A devil from another world. They find out everything that happened between the elves and humans were actually a part of his plan all along. Yuno can’t hide is astonishment at how powerful the devil is as he tries to fight it, and then Asta and Mimosa also arrive!

“When the owner of the four-leaf grimoire is filled with despair, the five-leaf clover grimoire will be born.” Patry is filled with despair after learning he had been manipulated by the devil all this time and turns into a dark elf. He then starts attacking Yuno and Asta, fueled by nothing but hatred and malice. Somehow, becoming a dark elf had made Patry even stronger, which gives Yuno and Asta an even harder time fighting him. Then Captain Nozel appears before them. Nozel happens to have the best magical attribute to fight against light magic, mercury magic.

The strange little black bird Nero, who kept following Asta around, suddenly appears before Finral, who had just finished fighting with his brother Langris, and demands that he take them to the Demon’s bones back in Hage Village. Finral is obviously startled that Nero’s suddenly speaking human words but obliges and takes Nero to the bones and witnesses an unbelievable sight. We will finally find out the true events that befell the elves 500 years ago! Meanwhile, back at the Shadow Palace, the devil’s eerie magic fills the room.

To stop the devil from leaving the Shadow Palace Asta, Yuno, and Patry, who had just regained his senses, head to the top floor. Once they get there, they are greeted by the first Wizard King, Lumiere Silvamillion Clover and the one who serves him, Secré Swallowtail。Secré is the true form of the mysterious bird, Nero, and she is a mage that uses a rare magic called sealing magic. She uses her magic to break the seal on Licht, and they are able to witness the true leader of the elves, Licht, and his true powers. An epic battle begins so that Licht and Lumiere can get revenge against the devil.

Licht and Lumiere fight against the devil using incredibly powerful magic. But the devil has incredible regeneration powers and quickly heals himself, making him difficult to defeat. Asta witnesses the two powerful mages fighting and tries to figure out if he can use his anti-magic in a more useful way. He’s able to use a new power, but it’s so powerful that he’s having a hard time controlling it. Meanwhile, Yuno also awakens to a new power… Asta and Yuno, who both aspire to be the future Wizard King, pull off an impressive attack in front of the first Wizard King!

The Shadow Palace begins to shatter, but Asta and the others manage to escape. Meanwhile, the elves continued to attack the kingdom because they still didn’t know the truth. Asta is the only one who can undo the resurrection, but it won’t be easy to save all of them at once. Patry then frees Vangeance, who’s sleeping inside him, so he can use his world tree magic and Licht can use his magic that connects him with all of the elves and Asta is able to undo the resurrection of all the elves at once. Finally, the long battle is coming to an end.

The battle involving the whole Clover Kingdom is finally over. But because of the battle, the kingdom was heavily damaged, so the Magic Knights were busy trying to repair everything. Meanwhile, someone rather unexpected shows up in front of Asta and the others and states three problems that will come up for the Clover Kingdom. Asta and the others are surprised, but just as they were told, someone showed up to try to judge Asta and his devil power.

Asta, who has the power of the devil, and Secré who used forbidden magic and turned into Nero, were called before the Magical Parliament to be judged. Asta maintains his innocence, but Damnatio Kira will do everything he can to probe that Asta is guilty. In order to save Asta and Secré, Yami shows up with the Black Bulls and they cause a ruckus. While the Black Bulls cause trouble, a few others show up…

Because she used forbidden magic, Nero survived for centuries. In the back of her mind, memories from long ago start to replay in her head. From when Nero was still called Secré and when Secré first met the most powerful and talented mage in the Clover Kingdom, Prince Lumiere. They become friends with Licht and the other elves, but due to the evil plans of a devil, the humans end up killing all of Licht’s comrades. Because of that, Licht ends up turning into a demon and Lumiere finds him in that state. What will he have to do to protect the ones he loves?

After using forbidden magic in the fight against the devil, Secré turns into a bird and ends up spending centuries all alone. During that time, she ends up meeting Asta, who ends up with Licht’s grimoire that has a different devil residing in it. Patry ends up reviving due to resurrection magic, and then he becomes the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun and vows to get revenge. This was all according to the devil’s plan and Secré uses her sealing magic to free Lumiere and Licht so they can finish off the devil once and for all along with Asta. The battle comes to an end, and Secré now begins her new life as a member of the Black Bulls.

The Black Bulls return to where their base originally was. Henry has to return the Raging Bull back into their hideout, but apparently, that takes some time. Meanwhile, Yami tells the Black Bulls to go find the magical beasts that escaped from the hideout. They had run away when Rades and the others had attacked the hideout and had been wandering around the forest ever since. There was even a chance that they had returned to their feral states. Their fear comes true, as one Black Bull is attacked after another.

The Black Bulls were ordered by the Wizard King to investigate the devils. Yami takes Asta and Nero and goes to talk to Captain Charlotte of the Blue Rose Knights, since she has experience with forbidden magic and curses. But when they get there, Charlotte suddenly runs off somewhere and they’re all in shock. Charlotte had memories of while Charla took over her body and fears that Yami had found out her true feelings and she ended up panicking. But then, she makes a decision.

In order to find out more about the forbidden curse, Asta, Gordon, Grey, and Gauche head to Gordon’s house, since he comes from a family of famous curse mages. Once they get there, they can’t help but show their wariness towards Gordon’s family. But in the end, they end up finding out valuable information while they’re there. Meanwhile, Noelle goes to talk to the Dorothy Unsworth, the Captain of the Coral Peacocks, after her brother tells her to talk to her to find out the truth behind their mother’s death. Dorothy tells her the name of the devil who had killed her mother, and the same name is spoken by Gordon’s grandmother. That devil’s name is…

Thanks to Gordon’s father, Asta and the others were able to find out that there might be clues surrounding the devils in the Heart Kingdom and manage to get permission to enter the kingdom due to the fact that Mimosa had gone there previously to study overbroad. Asta, Noelle, Finral, Mimosa and Nero head to the Heart Kingdom. Asta and the others initially enjoy their trip there, but something that Langris told Finral had been bugging Finral. Suddenly, Asta and the others are faced with a rather unexpected trial. Will Asta and the other Black Bulls be able to obtain information on the devils?!

Asta and the others manage to meet with the queen of the Heart Kingdom, Loropechika, who had also been chosen by the water spirit, Undine. They are able to confirm that the devil’s curse that they spotted in the Heart Kingdom was originating from Loropechika herself and that the devil was in the Spade Kingdom. Meanwhile, Vanessa, Magna, and Luck went to investigate the Diamond Kingdom and find it in ruins after a single mage of the Spade Kingdom had annihilated them. In order to defeat this devil, Loropechika asks Asta and the others for their help…

The Magic Knight Squad Captains decide to have a meeting about the problem with the devils that ended up involving the whole Clover Kingdom. Asta and the others who were in the Heart Kingdom were also summoned and they disclose the information they gathered in front of Julius, Damnatio, and the Captains. After hearing what Asta and the others had to report, Julius tells everyone what they need to do in order to deal with the devil Megicula.

Asta and Yuno are given permission to go home to Hage for a little while. Asta was being called a devil in the papers, but Father, Sister Lily, everyone at the church, as well as the people who even used to make fun of Asta and Yuno because they were orphans, welcomed them home with open arms. Asta and Yuno see that they had gone down the right path and all their hard work wasn’t for nothing, and then…

The Black Bulls get a sudden visit from Mereleona and she drags them to the strong magic region of the Yultim Volcano. There, the Crimson Lion Kings, as well as their captain, Fuegoleon, and his younger brother Leopold, were waiting for them. Asta and Noelle remember the hot springs they had visited on their previous trip there. Finding new resolve, Magna, Luck, Charmy, Gordon, and Nero all decide to train in the fiery underground cave of the volcano!

As Asta and the others were chasing the creature that lived in the cave beneath the Yultim Volcano Trail, they happened upon a dungeon. They were then ordered to explore the dungeon by the royal capital, so they split into groups and went in. They head in with Leopold and Vice Captain Randall, but those two end up running into the creature from earlier. They work together but cannot defeat the monster, which makes Leopold feel useless. At that moment, Leopold remembers the strange feeling he felt when he was fighting the elves, and…

Asta and Noelle return to the Black Bulls’ hideout only to get taken away by Mereoleona again. The place they were brought this time was the Vermillion estate. Waiting for them there was Captain Fuegoleon, Kirsch, Mimosa, and the sister who looked after the children at the church in Nean, Sister Theresa, who was also known as the former Magic Knight, the Crimson She-Leopard. Asta and Noelle wait in anticipation, wondering if they are going to get a new mission, but what Fuegoleon actually tells them is…

Though their betrothal was decided between their families, Finral tries to become a better man for Finnes’ sake. However, his impulse to instantly hit on any girl he happens to see doesn’t seem to get better, so he asks Asta to help him train… But they end up going to a mixer. Meanwhile, the members of the Blue Rose Knights want to help Charlotte out with her chances at love and invite Yami to a mixer-like setting at the same pub. What will result from both of these mixers?

Noelle and the other Black Bulls head to Racquey to do some training, when Noelle hears a mysterious voice. Shortly after, the Black Bulls are reunited with Kahono and Kiato. The siblings ask them for help and they head down to the Underwater Temple. There, Gifso explains that a creature called the guardian has gone berserk, so in order to quell its rage, Kahono and Kiato need to present it with their song and dance. Gifso asks the Black Bulls to act as their bodyguards and Yami appoints Noelle and Finral for the job.

Asta and the other Black Bulls continue their training in order to face off with the devil. Charmy is trying to use her cotton magic and her Sheep Cooks to create food to enhance her friends’ mana, but she realizes she lacks training. She then decides to seek out someone who can help her. Meanwhile, Gordon is also unhappy with his inability to help his friends, so he decides to go off to train on his own.

Zora wanders off from the rest of the Black Bulls and heads back home to his village to visit his father’s grave. He then meets a boy from his village named Ina. Ina idolizes Zara who became the first peasant to become a Magic Knight and was training hard in hopes to be like him someday. But then, Ina is confronted by a noble boy named Kaito, who was visiting the village on vacation, and is told that his dreams are futile. Enraged, Ina tries to fight Kaito, but Zora stops him. Zora then tells Ina a little story.

Vanessa Enoteca returns to the Witches’ Forest and requests that the Witch Queen teach her ancient magic. In exchange, the Queen tasks Vanessa with training two witches, Samantha Kravitz and Elvira Aguirre, and resolving an issue with the forest’s defenses in case of an attack from the Spade Kingdom.

Julius asks Marx to do a favor for him. He wanted him to help with creating new magic items as well as take care of some bandits. Marx is accompanied by the former member of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, Sally, to the Black Bulls’ hideout in order to conduct experiments for magic item research. Next, he travels with Captain Fuegoleon and Captain Nozel to investigate the bandits. Apparently, Julius had visited even that faraway town in disguise before…

The Golden Dawn was hard at work trying to get the kingdom back onto its feet. They were trying to make amends for the trouble they had caused while they were possessed. Captain Vangeance puts Alecdora Sandler in charge of a mission. Alecdora can’t hide his dislike for Yuno so he tries his best to earn more merit than him.

While the Clover Kingdom was trying to get back onto its feet, the citizens learn that the one behind the destruction of their homes is called the devil, and many of them grew to hate the devil. Some of these people had gathered and created a group called the Devil Banishers. Because the Magic Parliament did not immediately punish the supposed servants of the devil, they decide to go after Asta and Nero and take matters into their own hands.

After being attacked by the Devil Banishers, Nero as well as Gauche’s younger sister, Marie, were kidnapped and Asta fell into a mysterious coma. Gauche thinks that maybe the head of the Magic Parliament, Damnatio, may have taken his sister, but Damnatio denies the claim. Damnatio’s innocence is proven by using Marx’s communication magic, but they learn that there’s a possibility that Damnatio’s subordinates are behind this incident. Meanwhile, Asta was taken to Owen’s clinic and it becomes apparent that the tracking device he had on his arm had disappeared. They then find its signal coming from somewhere rather unexpected.

Julius orders the Black Bulls to save Nero and Marie, so Captain Yami, Noelle, Finral, Gordon and Gauche travel to a certain town along with the captain of the Silver Eagles Nozel, to see if they can find any clues. They try to ask the townspeople for some clues, but it appears that they are less than willing to cooperate because they seem to hold a grudge against the Magic Knights who weren’t able to come to their immediate aid after they were attacked by the elves.

The Devil Banishers announce that they will judge Nero and Marie in public. Julius then orders the Black Bulls and other Magic Knights to go rescue them. The Magic Knights place themselves among a crowd that clearly hates the devil, and then the Devil Banishers appear. They then demand that the devil-possessed Asta show himself.

Though the Magic Knights were able to save Marie from the Devil Banishers, Nero is taken once again and Asta’s 5-leaf clover grimoire is also stolen. Suddenly, they receive a message from one of Damnatio’s subordinates and learn the true identities of the Devil Banishers and Julius orders the Black Bulls yet again to save Nero. The Black Bulls begin their investigation in the town where they think the Devil Banishers were gathering. Will they be able to find out what the enemy’s true motive?

Asta, Noelle, and Magna manage to catch up to the Devil Believers who had taken Nero. But they find that the Devil Believers have now grown in numbers. Magna goes back to tell Yami of the situation. Asta and Noelle are left behind and try to do what they can to save Nero. But it appears that the Devil Believers have made up their minds on achieving their goal, even if it costs them their lives.

Asta and Noelle are captured along with Nero and they head toward the strong magic region near the border when Captain Yami and Magna arrive. Captain Fuegoleon and Captain Nozel also show up, causing the Devil Believers to panic. The captains try to talk to the Devil Believers, but their distrust for them is just too strong. The Devil Believers try to bring their powers together in order to face the Magic Knight captains.

The incident with the Devil Believers had come to a close. This whole incident ends up hurting Nero, who witnessed the pain the Devil Believers felt from having less mana and reminds her of her time with the first Wizard King, Lumiere and the magic item he was trying to create to get rid of discrimination in their kingdom. She then gets summoned by Julius. Meanwhile, Asta and the others receive a message saying that the Heart Kingdom and the Spirit Guardians were ready to train them for their fight against the devil.

To prepare for the upcoming battle against the devil, the Black Bull Grey decided that she needed to get over her shyness and be able to face her friends first before anything else, so she asked Noelle to mentor her. However, things aren’t going very well. Next, Grey tries to get Gauche to help her, since they had fought together in the past. For this training, she walked around town with him when it was crowded, but then they saw a panicked Charlotte run by.

The Magic Knight Squad Captains end up doing a team battle due to Julius’ suggestion. Since the citizens are still weary after the attack by the Eye of the Midnight Sun, they want to prove that they still mean to protect the kingdom and its citizens. The Magic Knights watch in anticipation as their captains split up into two teams and go all out in this battle.

Asta and Noelle go to see the Magic Knight Entrance Exams with Yami. The testing site and the anti-birds that gather there are rather nostalgic to Asta and remembers his own experience at the exams last year after seeing the hopefuls from this year.

The Magic Knight Squad Captains gather for a meeting and for an award ceremony with the king later. At the meeting, they decide that Asta, Nero, Noelle, Luck, Finral, Mimosa, Leopold, Charlotte and Rill will be going to the Heart Kingdom to train with the Spirit Guardians. At the award ceremony, Yuno advances very quickly in rank.

Though Vangeance, the Captain of the Golden Dawn, had asked Langris to return to his duties as vice captain, he continues to distance himself from the squad. Yuno had suddenly moved up all the ranks at a decoration ceremony and Langris asks him to fight him. The rest of the squad seems shocked, but Yuno accepts Langris’ request and fights him and they have a fierce battle. But during their fight, Yuno seems to have some doubts with how Langris is fighting.

Asta and Yuno were abandoned together at the same church and have been inseparable since. As children, they promised that they would compete against each other to see who would become the next Emperor Magus. However, as they grew up, some differences between them became plain. Yuno was a genius with magic, with amazing power and control, while Asta could not use magic at all, and tried to make up for his lack by training physically. When they received their Grimoires at age 15, Yuno got a spectacular book with a four-leaf clover (most people receive a three-leaf-clover), while Asta received nothing at all. However, when Yuno was threatened, the truth about Asta’s power was revealed, he received a five-leaf clover Grimoire, a “black clover”! Now the two friends are heading out in the world, both seeking the same goal!

While Asta and the others were training in the Heart Kingdom, back in the Clover Kingdom, Yami asked Mereoleona to help him train. They start their training immediately and Yami is no match against Mereoleona who is a master at using Mana Zone. Meanwhile, the Spade Kingdom’s forces continues to draw nearer as it continues its invasion.

Months after arriving at the Heart Kingdom, Asta still doesn’t have any magic, but he’s become more powerful at an alarming speed due to his training with the Spirit Guardians. Anti-magic is one of the magic attributes that falls into the “Arcane Stage” and is needed to defeat the devil. And because of that, Gaja asks Asta how exactly he obtained the five-leaf grimoire.

The Spade Kingdom successfully takes over the Diamond Kingdom and then sets their sights on the Clover Kingdom and Heart Kingdom. The Spade Kingdom troops get through the strong magic region using a mobile fortress which sucks up the mana of the Spade Kingdom citizens who were taken by force. But then Asta, who had finished his training with the Spirit Guardians, comes to the rescue! Meanwhile, Luck and Leopold head to the Spade Kingdom in order to try to take over one of their bases.

For some reason, Charmy, who had tagged along with Asta and the others to train in the Heart Kingdom, keeps trying to eat up all of the food in the Heart Kingdom. Asta tries to take her back and goes to the forest Charmy is last seen. However, Charmy had also trained with the Spirit Guardians and had become even more powerful. Meanwhile, Yuno is contacted by Sister Lily and heads back to his home village of Hage.

Asta and Yuno were abandoned in front of the church in Hage Village, a village in the outskirts of the Clover Kingdom. And now, we finally find out the truth behind Yuno’s birth! Meanwhile, while Vice Captain Yuno was away, the Golden Dawn’s headquarters was attacked by the Spade Kingdom. Despite being the most powerful squad out of the Magic Knights, they might have finally met their match.

After hearing about the Golden Dawn members being in trouble, Yuno hurries back. When he returned, their headquarters had been destroyed and many of the squad members were near death. Yuno’s rage explodes. Meanwhile, the members who can still fight are doing their best to hold up against the attackers that includes one of the members of the Dark Triade, Zenon, and his minions.

The War against the Spade Kingdom begins in earnest as the Heart Kingdom and Black Bulls come under attack by Dante and Vanica of the Dark Triad.

Grey reminisces on her past. Meanwhile the fight between Dante and Asta is continuing!

Yami strikes Dante what should have been a mortal blow, but he recovers quickly with the Power of his Devil. Asta witnesses his own Devil seethe in frenzy. In the Heart Kingdom, Charmy and Leo battle more Dark Disciples.

Vanica has arrived to kill the Queen of the Heart Kingdom and revealed their plan to unleash an army of demons into the world. Thanks to Megicula’s curse magic Vanica has restored to full strength all the Dark Disciples everyone had fought so hard to defeat. But Noelle, Mimosa, and Nero will push past their limits and show the results of their long training; For Aceir Silva, for the world, and for their precious friend, Lolopechka.

As the situation in the Heart Kingdom deteriorates beyond belief, Captain Yami Sukehiro pushes past his limits.

As the battles in the Heart Kingdom begin to come to an end, Asta and Yami decide to work together as they continue in their fight against Dante Zogratis of the Dark Triad.

Yami and Vangeance are taken to the Spade Kingdom so that the ritual to open the gate to the underworld can begin. Despite how hurt he is, Asta tries to escape the infirmary to go and save Yami, however he is stopped by a mage named Nacht Faust, who also happens to be a devil-possessed. He offers to show Asta how to use his devil powers even better. Meanwhile, the Magic Knight Squad Captains hold an emergency meeting. The Golden Dawn has almost been completely annihilated, and Yuno shows up to the meeting, showing new resolve.

Noelle and the others were involved in the explosion that Vanica caused back in the Heart Kingdom and were left unconscious. When they woke up, they found themselves in the new home of the elves that was located in a strong magic region just beyond the Heart Kingdom. There, Noelle has an unexpected reunion.

Due to Nacht's spell, the Devil who has been granting Asta power since the beginning has appeared physically. To master his Devil powers, Asta must battle and defeat his Devil, and force him to submit. But Asta has other plans... Meanwhile, Yuno, Noelle, and the others grow stronger in order to take their revenge against the Dark Triad.
