Ep. 72: Asta Harnesses Anti-Magic Power While Mereoleona Enforces Mixed Bathing Rules

Asta realizes conventional tactics fail and attempts to utilize the anti-magic demon's power. By applying Ki detection to himself, he senses anti-magic energy in his sword, successfully increasing the anti-magic within his body. This process causes half his body to become covered in black magic. Unable to control this power, Asta is pulled wildly into the air. While other magic knights are blocked by a lava monster, Asta flies through its chest and continues upward, passing Yuno. Mereoleona punches him to halt his uncontrolled flight, and Asta expresses happiness at finally using his power. Later, Mereoleona orders everyone to enter the hot spring together, causing outrage among the men and women. Sol constructs a mud wall to create separate bathing areas. She reveals to Noelle that her mother, Acier Silva, was known as the Steel Warrior Princess, whom Mereoleona never defeated, and urges Noelle to surpass her mother in her own way. Meanwhile, Yami demands the men participate in a tradition of peeping at the women, disguising it as male-only training. Sol raises the wall higher as the Crimson Lions attempt to climb it. Asta refuses to peep due to his loyalty to Sister Lily.
