Black Clover (ブラッククローバー)

It appeared as though humanity would be destroyed by the demons.

But a single mage saved them all.

He was called the Wizard King, and he became a legend.

The Star Festival, held in the royal capital, had begun.

The Star Festival was held

to acknowledge the Magic Knights Squads' achievements

and announce who had received the most stars from the Wizard King that year.

Kahono! Kiato!

Asta had invited Kahono and Kiato from the Underwater Temple to the festival

and used the Queen of Witches' secret witch spells

to heal Kahono's injured throat and Kiato's injured leg.

Asta and the others enjoyed the festival, but...

Hey, Asta.

What does Noelle mean to you?

Huh?

What does she mean to me?

I guess...

I like Noelle quite a bit.

Where...

Where the heck did that come from?!

Have you lost your mind?!

What the heck?!

Festival

Asta ended up stumbling upon Yami and Captain Jack the Ripper

of the Green Praying Mantises facing off in a rather heated situation.

Battle to the Death?! Yami VS Jack

Hey, mister! Can I get another drink?

Come one, come all!

Behold the song and dance of the Underwater Temple!

Such a beautiful song!

And that boy dances so elegantly.

Kahono can sing again, and Kiato can dance again.

That's so wonderful.

Don't you think so, Stupidsta?

Wh-Who the heck are you? I'm royalty!

I'm terribly sorry.

I forgot. I blasted him away.

How dare he fly off somewhere?

Stupid Stupidsta.

Stupidsta, where did you go? Hey!

How about some food, missy?

Maybe later.

Want to take a shot or two, miss?

Maybe later.

Would you like to try one, miss?

Maybe...

Gulp.

...later.

I guess common food is okay. This isn't bad at all.

Anyway, I wonder where Stupidsta flew off to.

Mana seems to be concentrating over there...

How about some squid?

Raging Bull

Everyone, come try out Captain Yami's yummy—I mean, Yami—grilled squid!

Bah-ha! Bah-ha! Bah-ha!

Captain Jack's meat dishes are the best!

You only need one bite to feel satisfied!

It's piping hot! Your mouth can't help but go bah-ha, bah-ha, bah-ha!

You mean they'll be going aph, aph, aphew! That's hot!

Your heart and stomach will feel phat and content!

No shit.

Festival

Raging Bull

What the hell, kid? Where are all our customers?

If you don't get us some customers, I'll kill you.

Y-Yes, sir! Mister, how about a squidtastic squid?

Whaddya say?

Hey, don't run away!

Come on! At least try one!

Newbie! If you don't get me more customers, I'm gonna slice you up.

B-Bah-ha?! I promise he's not scary, everyone!

Please buy some, bah-ha!

Come on, you two! Bring in some customers!

Got it.

Please, buy one!

Please! Please buy some, bah-ha!

Come on, please? Come buy one!

Buy some!

Please!

Sir? They won't even look at me.

The unpopular captain of the Black Bulls

and our captain are right next to each other.

There's no way anyone's gonna buy from us.

Bah-ha, bah-ha...

Phati, phati...

Aph, aph...

What was that?

This is delicious! Super delicious! Please buy some!

I promise it's not poisoned!

I was wondering why mana was concentrating over here. What are you doing?

Help me out, Noelle!

Huh? Oh...

Guess you're here, too, Bah-ha.

Specialty Grilled Squid

Young lady from the Black Bulls...

My name is not "Bah-ha," it's Sekke.

I'm Sekke Bronzazza, bah-ha!

Oh. Whatever.

So, what are you and Bah... er, Sekke, doing, Asta?

Captain Yami and...

...Captain Jack...

I've wanted to settle the score with you for a long time.

Your food stall and my food stall...

Let's see who sells the most!

It's on!

Bring it! There's no way I'm gonna lose!

You grandpa-faced fisherman!

If you lose, I'll flay you alive!

Bring it on, you giant string bean!

If you lose, I'll make you wipe my ass!

It's on! I ain't gonna lose!

No matter what...

...I'm gonna win!

Grilled Squid

Er...

Say what?

That's why we got roped into bringing customers in.

But neither stall has sold anything.

How about some grilled purple snakes I just caught over there?

That sounds super tast—I'm kidding!

It sounds gross!

Stop getting distracted by other stalls.

But purple snakes...

My rainbow squids...

I risked my life catching them in a storm off the coast of Raquey,

using my years of fishing experience!

They're the finest you can get!

Don't you dare compare them to some snakes!

I'm sorry!

If I lose to Jack, it'll be all your fault.

H-How about some grilled squid?!

They were caught fresh of the coast of Raquey! They're the finest you can get!

They're delicious, just like the tatoes from Hage Village!

What are you trying to do? Ruin my business?

No!

So it is your fault that I haven't sold a single one yet!

Squid... Squid, squid... Squid...

Stupidsta!

Tch. You're friggin' worthless.

Mine were useless, too.

We don't have time to wait and see who can get better sales.

Imagine that. I was just thinking the same thing.

Why don't we...

...fight each other with our own abilities!

Dead or alive!

Wait, what?

Look that way!

Huh?

Dead or alive!

Look that way!

Look that way!

What is this?

Take that!

Next!

We're not getting anywhere.

Guess we need to step it up a notch!

If I actually get serious, you're gonna die.

That's my line!

Let's change locations. We're gonna end up causing a disturbance here.

We'll be going now.

Excuse us!

Asta! Stupidsta!

Noelle.

Get a hold of yourself! Stupidsta!

Noelle!

What?

Get Finral's ass down here.

Hey, this is...

We won't bother anyone here.

I'm on another level today... Just like this grilled squid!

And I'll slice you in half, just like that grilled squid!

Why did I have to come, too?

This is also pretty tasty.

Captain Jack can slice a giant mountain in bah-half!

You may be the Captain of the Black Bulls, but you're no match for Captain Jack!

Bah-ha! Bah-ha! Bah-haha!

What's got Bah-ha so worked up?

That festival had the girls so laid-back that my flirting almost worked.

Man...

Yami and Jack having a no-holds-barred battle...

I wonder what kind of powerful spells I'll see.

I can't wait!

You ready for this, Jack the Ripper?

That's my line! Yami Sukehiro, my blades are tingling!

They can't wait to slice and dice you!

Last time, you were almost dead, so slicing you up wouldn't have been worth it.

Who was almost dead, now?

You, you dumbass!

You let those Eye of the Midnight Sun bastards beat the shit out of you!

I was only acting like they beat the shit out of me.

I was going to turn things around right when you guys showed up.

Whatever. Looks like you're getting worked up, Yami.

You'll actually be worth slicing up today!

Let's see who's gonna be slicing up who!

Well, I see they're as terrifying as ever.

Holy crap! I can feel their electrifying ki all the way over here!

Why are all the Magic Knights Squad Captains so weird?

Let's see what kind of battle unfolds!

Again, why are you so worked up?

Bah-ha!
