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.

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.

The Magic Knight Squad Captains end up doing a team battle due to Julius’ suggestion.

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.

But during their fight, Yuno seems to have some doubts with how Langris is fighting.
