Episode Title:
Those Who Protect.
Episode Description:
As Asta is quickly overpowered by Grice's attacks, Magna flashes back to when he became a Magic Knight and the Saussy chief gave him the pouch he uses to carry his grimoire. Grice blocks most of his attacks, but several fly past him; Asta deflects them with the flat of his sword, defeating Grice and most of his magicians. Hiding in Asta's robe, an Anti-bird finds the stone for which Grice was looking. Grice kills himself and his magicians to avoid interrogation. The Anti-bird keeps the stone, and begins living on Asta's head. Grice's master decides that he can retrieve the stone later as he prepares for "the Resurrection".
