Black Clover (ブラッククローバー)

Not yet. I'm not finished...

I'm going to be... the Wizard King.

You? The Wizard King?

I have the ability to find out

just how much magical power one has with these chains.

And you have no magic whatsoever.

You must've been born that way. No wonder you couldn't get a grimoire.

To think that you lack even an ounce of magic

in this world where magic is everything.

What a priceless find!

Huh?

What the hell?

Then no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to use magic?

To think that someone so pathetic existed.

You won't even be able to find a job, let alone become the Wizard King!

I'm sure your friend, the great genius over there, mocks you, too.

Yeah, maybe.

Yuno's so amazing that he was chosen by the four-leaf.

I'm just...

You can't do a thing in this world. Just give up on everything.

You were born a loser!

He's right.

No matter how hard I try, some things just can't be helped.

I'm just going to give...

Hey!

Who are you calling a loser?

Asta, it's true that you won't be able to become the Wizard King,

no matter what.

You hear that? Even your little friend is telling you it's impossible.

That's because I'm going to become the Wizard King!

What?

He's no loser.

He's...

Asta's my rival!

Huh?

Him? Your rival?

This brat who has no magical power whatsoever?

Not... Not yet.

Sorry you had to see me looking that pathetic, Yuno.

Just a sec...

I'm gonna kick this guy's butt!

A gri... moire?

I knew it.

There's no way that Asta wouldn't have been chosen!

Asta's always been that way. He always does the unthinkable.

He always has before... and he's doing it now.

I'm gonna become the Wizard King... and protect you and everyone else.

I'm gonna make everyone even happier! So we can have even nicer things!

And then, I'm gonna prove to everyone...

Prove?

That even if you're poor... or an orphan...

you can still become the Wizard King.

The Boys' Promise

10 Years Ago

W-Wait!

Yuno! Are you okay?!

Come on, Yuno.

Asta...

Jeez. You're such a crybaby, Yuno.

Well...

It's okay!

I've got your back, Yuno! Okay?

Yeah.

All right. Let's get going.

Everyone's waiting at the top!

It's good, but...

It's hard.

That's our Sister Lily.

You're such an amazing cook!

When I grow up, will you marry me and cook for me?

It was Father who baked those. Would you like to marry him?

No! You're the one I wanna marry!

Sister! Marry me! Marry me! Marry me!

Marry me! Marry me! Marry me!

Very good.

Asta, it's not possible.

Sister is, um... a woman of the cloth.

I'm not done yet, Yuno! I won't give up until I'm an adult, no matter what!

Well, good luck with that.

"And then the world was covered in deep, deep darkness.

Just when the demon tried to destroy the world..."

He's not gonna get away with that!

"...a very brave mage appeared.

The brave mage fought the demon to bring the dawn back to the world.

And finally, he defeated the demon.

The mage's light shone ever so brightly upon the whole world.

The long, long night had come to an end.

This was the dawn of our world."

Yes!

"And so, the mage was dubbed the Wizard King and became a legend."

The Wizard King...

"And they all lived happily ever after."

Hey, Sister.

The Wizard King still exists, right?

Yes.

The title of "Wizard King" has been passed down through many generations.

All along, they've been protecting us with their magic.

It's because of the Wizard King that the Clover Kingdom is so peaceful.

That's awesome!

Is the Wizard King really important?

He's the most important after the king.

Okay, I've made up my mind!

About what, Asta?

I'm... gonna be the Wizard King!

Sister?

I'm sorry. I just wasn't expecting that.

What brought this on?

Well, he defeated the demon, right?

That means he's super strong! And that's so cool!

I wanna be cool, too!

And...

If I become important... If I become the Wizard King,

I'll be able to make everyone even happier, right?

You'll be able to wear nice clothes and eat all the good food you want!

I'm gonna make this crappy little church huge and amazing!

Crappy?

I'll get you whatever you want, too, Sister!

I'll look forward to it.

Right, Yuno?

Yeah.

The Wizard King...

I'm gonna be the Wizard King!

So, Sister! Marry me—

That's a completely different subject.

Not yet! I won't give up!

No.

Not yet, yet, yet, yet!

No.

December

Why?!

Why is it I still can't use magic?!

Sister! I'll hang up the laundry!

Thanks, Asta.

So marry m—

No.

Mar—

Nope.

Mar—

No.

Marry me, please...

Don't you start crying, too, Yuno.

Nash... won't stop crying...

Yuno! Leave this to me!

Asta...

I'm gonna be the Wizard King, after all!
