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.

Asta and the others finally arrived at the Underwater Temple.

But once they got there...

You guys are after the magic stone, aren't you?

If you want it, why don't we play a little game?

...a mysterious old man called the high priest

and nine temple mages were waiting for them!

The high priest told Asta and the other Black Bulls, who were separated,

that if they wanted the magic stone, they must battle the temple mages, nine-on-nine.

Victory goes to the first team to wipe out the other team,

or whichever team has the most members left in the end.

Yay! This is awesome!

A blood-soaked battle! I'm super pumped!

Nine?

There should be ten of us... We're missing one.

That's so easy to understand!

All right! Bring it on!

That's funny...

I can't seem to sense any magic from you.

Guess I picked a loser.

Wanna find out if I'm actually a loser or not?

Temple Battle Royale

Now, then, why don't we watch from here?

I've got plenty of food and drink!

Hey, you old geezer, don't leave me out of the game!

I got all pumped up, but now I'm sad.

You're a bit too strong.

All the people outside, as well as myself, are very excited for this game.

It'd be no fun if it were to end quickly.

Looks like you really do get it, gramps.

You've got good taste.

I do, don't I?

Ooh, it looks like a few match-ups have already begun.

All right. If any of mine lose, I'll kill 'em.

So cold... Damn that geezer.

He's gonna pay for this!

Hilarious!

You're at a total disadvantage with fire magic in a place like this.

Looks like I win.

I'd rather not pick on frail-looking guys like you.

Are you gonna fight me?

I know you guys.

You're the Black Bulls, aren't you?

You're the weakest of the Magic Knights.

Marie's waiting for me. Hurry up and come at me, damn it.

Just so you know, it's pretty pointless for you to wave around that rusty sword.

My mollusk magic can parry any kind of attack.

I see...

Isn't this exciting?

Oh, by the way, what are your knights' ranks?

They're all junior magic knights.

I'm surprised you even know about that, living down here.

According to your ranking system,

my temple mages would be more powerful than intermediate knights!

Those juniors don't stand a chance!

What? Really?

Well, that's not good...

Unless those idiots are actually stronger than usual for their titles.

Wh-Wh-Wh-What?!

Don't think I'm gonna get discouraged just because I'm surrounded by water.

I'm gonna serve all of you up like grilled fish!

He must've been one of the weaker ones.

So... I wonder where all the strong ones are?

Good grief.

I need to finish this nonsense quick so I can go back to doting on Marie.

This... isn't right...

My mollusk magic should be able to deflect any kind of physical attack.

My sword is anti-magic! That junk won't work!

What?

Next, next!

Good job, you idiots! Beat the crap out of them!

Those fools let down their guard!

Hey, gramps, I forgot! We should bet on which team is gonna win!

I bet 10,000 yuls on the Bulls!

Grr... The battle's just begun!

They won't be able to defeat the remaining priests so easily!

Especially the Three Great Priests, who are on par with senior knights.

Badump, badump...

Sneak, sneak, sneak, sneak...

Whew... Man, that was close.

There's no way I could fight a guy who looks that strong.

I've been trying to get to the places I marked outside, but I can't for some reason.

That means I can only use my spatial magic to get to places I can see.

Oh, I forgot to mention this,

but you won't be able to leave my playground until the game's over.

Whoa! Are you watching me, gramps?!

Hey, Finral, why the hell are you hiding? Hurry up and fight, or I'll kill you!

Huh? Yami?!

Wait, are you with the old guy?

We're enjoying some food and drinks while we watch you guys fight.

What?! Come on, make him stop this violent game!

What? It's fun to watch because it's so violent.

That's right!

When did you two hit it off so well?!

It's definitely no fun if you're not gonna fight.

Don't let that coward get away.

There we go! Nuisance spell activated.

Game Magic: Monster Toy.

Scary!

How entertaining! I should use more of these!

Hey, you old geezer...

Let's do this one next. This'll probably kill them!

Are you sure you're actually on their side?

Nice drawing, though.

Now, then... Let's see how the others are holding up.

That bastard Grey turned into a crab, and I don't know where he went,

so I'll just have to kill him later.

Oh? Is Charmy battling?

S-Such destructive force...

Th-The Underwater Temple is amazing.

And so is its seafood!

S-So good! Munchy, munchy...

This is the best I've ever had!

So this is the Underwater Temple's seafood!

I wish my meal-saving prince could have some, too!

Okay! This entire ecosystem is mine!

I'm going to eat absolutely everything!

That one there... What exactly is she doing?

Heave-ho! Heave-ho! What a huge haul!

Found you!

La?

My, what a cute little target. I almost feel bad that I'm going to defeat you.

So you're finally here.

But right now, I'm overflowing with undersea mana.

If you want me to chew you up the way I chewed up those fish,

bring it on!

Song Magic: Mother Lullaby.

I feel so nice...

Why, yes, I can still eat more...

One down!

Just so you know, sleeping counts as a K.O.

How do you like the power of one of my Great Priests?

She's not getting any food for a week.

Now, then...

I wonder if I'll see those two next.

All right! My clothes are finally dry!

Let's see... Who am I gonna fight next?

Hey, Luck. I guess you're still alive.

Yup! I defeated one of the enemy guys already.

I headed this way because I felt a strong presence over here, but...

Looks like I was right...

All right... let's decide who gets a piece of 'em fir—

Hey! No fair, Luck! You bastard!

Ya snooze, ya lose, Magna!

Lightning Magic: Thunderbolt Destruction!

Water Creation Magic: Sea God's Shield.

It's tough! My lighting should work pretty well against water, though.

Well, well, aren't you lively?

What the heck are these things?!

This ki... Someone's there.

Come on, Grandpa. Do you really have to hit us with your nuisance spells, too?

Well, whatever. That was a good warm-up.

Hup!

He took out something that huge? Who the heck is he?

Hey, there!

You're Asta, right?

Huh? Yeah, that's right...

I've heard about you! You use a strange sword that cancels out magic, right?

Uh, yes... Wait, who'd you hear that from?!

Never mind that! Check out this dance!

The hell?! He just started dancing!

But it's a really cool dance!

Do you think they'd like this dance up on the surface, too?

Heck yeah!

The name's Kiato!

My dream's to become a dancer who captivates the whole kingdom!
