A rescue mission into the Spade Kingdom
Yami, Vangeance and Heart Kingdom queen Lolopechka have been abducted by the Dark Triad. The new season opens with preparations to rescue them. Asta and Liebe train under Nacht to master Devil Union, while Yuno prepares for another confrontation with Zenon, who defeated him earlier.
Meanwhile, mage scholar Morris is preparing to open the gates of the underworld in the Spade Kingdom. The rescue force’s confrontation with enemies wielding devil power provides the starting point. Official Episode 1 synopsis

The characters approach battle differently: Asta cuts through magic, Nacht manipulates shadows, and Yuno uses wind. The mission has an appealing foundation for anyone interested in how fighters put contrasting abilities to work. Cast and staff · Official series website
