Episode 56

The Man Named Fanzell Continued (続・ファンゼルという男) is the 56th Page of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.

Summary
Noelle is outside gathering herbs when Fanzell approaches her naked. Noelle freaks out thinking that he's a pervert and sends water flying at him. Noelle runs back to the Black Bull base and Zell is apprehended by the squad. They are ready to turn him over to Magic Knight Headquarters when Asta arrives. He recognizes Zell and the gang releases him with their apologies. Asta asks Zell what he's doing here. Zell tells Noelle that he's pretty sure that the wand she's using was created by Domina, his fiancee. Noelle says that the person who gave it to her was named Code and Zell says that Domina's full name is Dominate Code. He asks where she got it and she tells him the black market in the capital city. He starts to break down and Asta is excited because he'll be reunited with Domina finally. Zell thanks Noelle profusely and Vanessa tells Zell that she can lead him to the market. Yami tells Finral to use his magic to take them where they need to go. Asta and Zell are saying goodbye again when suddenly the base comes under attack.

Mariella and Galleo watch from a distance. Galleo instructs the squads he's leading to move closer. Mariella asks Galleo to use his spatial magic to get her closer. Galleo instructs the squads to attack but before they do a water barrier erupts around the Black Squad base. Zell jumps out from within with Luck and Magna on his tail. Luck and Magna attack the Diamond Kingdom assassins and bring them down. Gauche goes after Galleo and hits him with his mirror magic. Yami joins in on the fight and tells the others to leave some of the assassins for him. Zell sneaks up on Galleo and puts him in a headlock. Galleo tells him that he can't hurt him because they have a hostage: Domina. Zell tells him that some of his teammates have already left to go find Domina. Galleo asks who he is and Zell transforms into Grey.

Meanwhile, Zell reunites with Domina. Domina punches him and yells at him for taking so long in finding her before she embraces him. Domina thanks Noelle for leading Zell in the right direction. She also recognizes Asta and Asta asks how she knows him when Mariella appears. Zell jumps in front of Domina but Mariella says that she isn't going to attack them. She used them to take care of the squads that Galleo was leading. While they were fighting, she headed to the black market to tell Domina about how Zell was coming. She hands them a map where she's mapped out an escape route for them to use. Asta asks why she's helping them. She tells them that this is her revenge against the organization. She would enact her plan then present herself to Clover Kingdom Magic Knights so that she wouldn't be on the run like Zell and Domina.

Zell asks if she's sure her plan will work and Mariella says that she's content with accepting anything other than death. She asks Asta if he remembers telling Zell to find a reason to live for himself. Asta says yes. Mariella says that those words really resonated with her. That the punishment she will receive from all of this will allow her to restart and atone for everything that she has done. Suddenly, Galleo appears. Mariella tells everyone to run just as Galleo uses his spatial magic on them. Zell and Asta jump in front of Mariella and the three of them are transported to a red room where Galleo summons magic soldiers. Mariella asks Asta why he jumped in front of her. Asta says that when there is someone in need he can help them out as much as he wants. He and Zell begin to attack the magic soldiers.

Back at Black Bull's base, Yami calls Magic Knight HQ and tells them to come pick up the assassins that they captured. Gauche can't believe that Zell had that many people after him. Yami suddenly remembers that he met Zell once before during a battle against the Diamond Kingdom. He realizes that Zell must've defected and that that's why all these soldiers were after him. Yami tells Gauche not to tell anyone that they aided a fugitive. Later, Zell and Domina say goodbye to Asta and the gang. They've decided to take Mariella with them. Noelle tells her that she needs to realize that when other people care about her her problems become their problems too. So she has to think about that. Asta tells them to get going and for Zell to make Domina happy. Asta and Zell say goodbye but not before Zell asks Asta to borrow some money.

In the present, Finral and Noelle have gone to visit Zell in search of a way to heal Asta's arms. Domina mentions the Witches' Forest. Meanwhile, Vanessa has arrived at the entrance to the Witches' Forest. She demands to be let in and the gates open and swallow her.
