Synopsis
During a six-month interval between major conflicts, Asta prepares to participate in a public fighting tournament while continuing his pursuit of the Wizard King title. The event is disrupted when Conrad Leto, a former Wizard King sealed away by his successor, returns with the Imperial Sword Elsdocia and launches an attack on the Clover Kingdom.
Conrad resurrects three powerful Wizard Kings from earlier eras, forcing Asta, Yuno Grinberryall, the Magic Knight captains, and their allies to defend the kingdom. The film tells an original story not adapted from the manga, exploring competing interpretations of equality and the responsibilities attached to the Wizard King’s office under the supervision of manga creator Yūki Tabata.
