Yuno Grinberryall/Biography

Yuno was born to Loyce and Ciel of House Grinberryall, the royal family of the Spade Kingdom. As an infant, Yuno is given a magic stone found in a Grand Magic Zone. Some time later, the Zogratis siblings attack the royal castle and kill many of the royals. Knowing that Yuno will be killed if he is found, the Mage Defense Force escape with the infant, and Ralph Niaflem's father carries Yuno across the Grand Magic Zone between the Spade Kingdom and the Clover Kingdom. Upon arriving at the village of Hage, the mage uses the last of his magic to deliver Yuno to the front of the church before collapsing to his death.

As an orphan, Yuno spends his childhood in the church and grows along with Asta and the other orphans. One day, during a trip home after grocery shopping with his foster family, Yuno overhears a few villagers talking about life in the Noble region of the Kingdom. After Sister Lily explained the social status within the Kingdom, Yuno hears Asta's dream to become the Magic Emperor for the first time.

Sometime later, a thug tries to take his necklace away from him so that he could sell it for the money. However, Asta steps in and forces the thug to return it. In the end, the said thug decides to leave without the necklace after the boy's rigorous attempt. Since then, Yuno stops crying and determines to take Asta's dream to be the Magic Emperor as his own as well. One night, Yuno and Asta go into the forest and stand on top of a hill while facing towards the Noble region. Asta begins to talk about their relationship as a family despite their lack of blood relation, which prompts Yuno to ask the reason behind the former's sudden interest in the topic. At that moment, they promise to treat their future comrades the same way they treat each other.

Yuno and Asta also trained from time to time to sharpen their combat abilities. The training usually consists of Yuno tries to prevent Asta from advancing with his magic. After he sees Asta fails multiple times, Yuno suggests him to stop, which is rejected by Asta. To Yuno's surprise, the latter manages to break through, which he then explains to the former that his persistence plays a significant role in his success.

Years later, Yuno still lives at the church, where he takes care of chores such as doing laundry, chopping firewood or taking care of the younger children. When he turns 15 years old, Yuno receives his grimoire during the Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony. As he learns that he has received a grimoire similar to the one possessed by the first Magic Emperor, Yuno declares his ambition to the public while brushing off Asta's declaration of rivalry. Later that day, Yuno is confronted by Revchi Salik, who manages to snatch his grimoire and immobilizes Yuno with his magic. Once again, Asta steps in to save him, which prompts Yuno to clarify his previous statement during the ceremony and declares Asta as his rival.

Six months later, Yuno attends the Magic Knights Entrance Exam, where he manages to easily perform all of the required tasks. During the combat test, Yuno fights against Salim from a noble House Hapshass, which he finishes the moment it started. Yuno managed to impress the captains so much that all nine of them show their desires to put him in their ranks. Yuno chooses to join the Golden Dawn, as he believes that entering the strongest squad is the fastest path to become the Magic Emperor.

Before he leaves for his squad, Yuno stops Sekke Bronzazza, Asta's opponent in the exam, from harming Asta who is in the toilet. He intimidates Sekke by saying that he is not worthy of Asta and leaves without meeting his rival. As he meets his new squadmates, the young Knight is quickly being shunned by the other members due to his social standing. While he ignores their harsh treatment, Yuno begins to isolate himself as he hones his skills even further.

A few days later, Yuno is dispatched with two of his squadmates to explore the newly emerged dungeon. As they enter, Yuno immediately activates one of his spells when he sees Asta's struggle with one of the dungeon's traps. After he saves him, Yuno confirms that he has paid his debt from when Asta saved his life. Yuno and his group then meet with Asta and Noelle Silva, but Yuno decides to stand in silence as his senior, Klaus Lunettes, begins a conversation with Asta in which he believes to be a waste of time.

Not long after, Klaus ends the conversation and orders Yuno to take them to the center of the dungeon after Mimosa Vermillion located it with her spell. Along the way, Yuno warns Klaus to not underestimate Asta after hearing his condescending remark about his rival.

Not long after, they finally arrive at the gate to the center of the dungeon. Unfortunately, an ambush manages to break through Mimosa's defenses, which prompts Yuno and Klaus to prepare and fight the perpetrator. Klaus immediately asks Yuno to be his support in the fight as soon as the mage from the Diamond Kingdom, Mars, tries to attack Mimosa who has begun her healing treatment. They end up in a stalemate with both sides unable to break through the other's magic attacks.

Suddenly, Klaus asks Yuno to leave and conquer the dungeon on his own. Yuno declines at first but soon agrees after Klaus gave him a direct order. However, Yuno quickly turns back to protect Klaus from an incoming attack and declares that he will not leave his comrade behind.

After he explains himself to Klaus, Yuno releases his magical power and activates two spells at the same time. He then states that the Golden Dawn will be the one to conquer the dungeon. Unfortunately, as the fight continues, Mars manages to suppress Yuno, who is barely able to remain standing as his spells begin to vanish. Mars continues his assaults as Yuno struggles to evade every attack. Yuno tries to launch another attack, but it resulted in another failure as Mars reinforces himself with crystal-made armor.

Mars then asks Yuno to give up and admit defeat, which reminds him of the past when he trained with Asta. The memories lead to Yuno's refusal on admitting defeat as he continues to evade Mars' merciless attacks. When one of the attacks is about to hit, Asta steps in and stops it. Asta's action slightly irritates Yuno as the former saves him yet again. He then begins to argue with his rival about his circumstances with Yuno tries to cover for his struggles. The arguments stop when Asta decides to join Yuno in the fight. Soon after, the fight continues when Mars creates a number of clone puppets with his magic to attack all of them. Yuno is then stuck fighting against these puppets while Asta is able to defeat Mars.

After Klaus restrains the unconscious Mars, both the Golden Dawn and the Black Bull members enter the center of the dungeon with Asta forcefully cuts down the door. They are quickly taken by surprise with the spectacles, which they see behind the door. As soon as they enter, each member quickly explores the treasury and tries different magic tools within. Yuno then notices a scroll surrounded by wind streams as he opens it, the young Knight finds writings that he could not understand. Before he realizes it, the scroll and his grimoire begin to shine and the writings mysteriously disappear.

Yuno then hears Luck Voltia warns them to get away from the door, but Yuno fails to react in time as he is ambushed by Mars' attack. The mage of the Diamond Kingdom then manages to trap him within a crystal structure, which renders him immobile. The crystal structure also prevents him from using his grimoire as Yuno is unable to help Mimosa and Noelle from Mars' attacks. Yuno then tries to slowly break his binding with his magic as he witnesses Asta suddenly releases a water-based attack.

Unfortunately, Mars is able to suppress Asta and about to move in for the kill. Seeing this, Yuno forcefully breaks the crystals that have been binding him and quickly searches his grimoire for a spell to stop Mars. Unfortunately, he is unable to find a suitable spell, but he refuses to give up. At that moment, Yuno's surroundings suddenly become motionless and he finds Sylph has appeared by his side. She then easily defeats Mars with a single blow. Afterward, when Yuno looks back at her, she has already disappeared and similar writings, which he found within the scroll earlier, appear on a page of his grimoire. Not long after, the dungeon suddenly begins to collapse.

Seeing that the dungeon begins to collapse, Yuno quickly creates a vessel for all of them to escape. They quickly head towards the exit after they failed to fulfill Asta's request of taking Mars with them. They manage to escape from the dungeon mostly unscathed due to Luck's guidance and effort of getting rid of any falling debris with Klaus. As soon as they are outside, Yuno quickly instructs them to take Asta to a safer place for Mimosa to properly heal him. When Asta regains his consciousness, Klaus suddenly hugs him and Yuno as the nobleman acknowledges them.

After their return from the mission, Yuno immediately tries to activate the spell that he accidentally used to defeat Mars. Unfortunately, he fails as the spirit, which he saw, refuses to respond to his effort. A week after the mission's completion, Yuno along with Klaus and Mimosa travel to the Magic Knights headquarters to report about the mission. When they encounter Asta and Noelle, the five Knights then head to the designated venue together. Upon arrival, they are greeted by the Magic Emperor himself, Julius Novachrono who then examines the treasures that they took from the dungeon. While in the presence of the Magic Emperor, Yuno and Asta ask Julius about the method they should use to attain the Magic Emperor title. Julius simply explains that great results are very vital for the acknowledgment.

Afterward, Yuno is invited to attend a War Merits Conferment Ceremony that honors several Magic Knights that have produced the most results. At the end of the ceremony, Yuno and his fellow Knights who explored the dungeon with him, are scrutinized during the celebratory banquet, but Yuno decides to remain silent. While he watches Asta confronts the honored Knights, Yuno becomes curious when one of those Knights, Leopold Vermillion, declares Asta as his rival. Mimosa then explains to him that the two brothers from the Crimson Lion squad are her cousins.

Not long after, someone suddenly enters the banquet hall and reveals that the Royal Capital is under attack. Yuno then joins his colleagues as they figure out a counterattack strategy. In the end, Yuno leaves along with Alecdora Sandler and Mimosa to the Northwest District of the Royal Capital. As they arrive, an army of corpses quickly surrounds them from every direction. Yuno then proceeds to defeat every corpse that he sees while Mimosa is healing the injured.

After all of the corpses are defeated, Yuno's grimoire begins to shine and a Spatial Magic spell activates beneath their feet. At that moment, Sylph, of her own volition, lifts Yuno up into the air, saving him from being transported a considerable distance away from the Royal Capital. With the Knights gone, Catherine appears and begins to attack the citizens, and Yuno quickly engages in a fight against her.

As the fight begins, Yuno tries to find the reason behind the invasion but Catherine only reveals that their attack is a part of an assassination mission. She then quickly begins to outmatch him with her curse magic spell that slowly renders the latter's senses obsolete. During his struggle to land even a single attack against her, Yuno starts to reminisce his experiences since obtaining his grimoire where he is disappointed with his own slow progress of honing his skills. In the end, Catherine's spell finally takes all of his senses away from him. However, at that moment, Yuno's latent ability to sense mana is suddenly awakened, which allows him to summon Sylph, who has been lying within his grimoire. Using Sylph as his medium, Yuno launches an enormous attack towards his opponent.

Using his new ability to sense mana, Yuno realizes that Catherine managed to survive his attack. The young Knight immediately moves towards her position in one of the towers of the city. As he is closing in, Yuno began to sense a sinister magical power is brewing inside the tower before his opponent is sent flying away from the said tower. When he arrives, Yuno encounters Charmy Pappitson in which after seeing her affiliation with the Black Bull squad, he believes that the sinister magical power belonged to her. Subsequently, Yuno passes out after he exhausted all of his mana from fighting the mysterious mage.

Later on, as the invasion is over, Yuno strolls around the Royal Capital with Klaus and Mimosa. They then encounter Asta and the other Black Bull mages, who are about to depart from the city. Yuno then launches an attack towards them, which turns into words of farewell to Asta. He then leaves without saying anything else to his rival.

Months later, an army from the Diamond Kingdom attacks Kiten. Fourteen members of the Golden Dawn squad arrive to repel the invaders. Yuno confronts Broccos, one of the Eight Shining Generals, and defeats his giant boar and his men with a single Tornado Fang. Sylph accuses Yuno of trying to impress someone else, and the two bicker.

Broccos wants to take on Yuno, but Ragus swoops in and questions if Yuno can defend himself and the citizens. With Sylph's help, Yuno counters the Lightning General's attack with Gale White Bow, piercing the general's barrier. Yuno then returns Ragus' question, asking if the general can protect his own men. Ragus and Broccos argue who will get to fight Yuno, while Sylph claims that he is hers. After William's Great Tree Misteltein defeats most of the Diamond soldiers, Broccos leaves the fight, and Yuno and Ragus continue, both flying up into the air over Kiten. After exchanging spells, Yuno begins overwhelming Ragus and defeats the general with a giant trident, which knocks him down into a building.

Yuno notices Asta below and lands in front of him. Smiling, Yuno reaffirms their rivalry. Yuno and Asta exchange insults, which makes Sylph jealous. Yuno then takes a pastry that Charmy offers him, which also makes Sylph jealous. Yuno later watches as the Black Bulls fight Yagos, and afterward catches Asta with a wind stream.

When the Diamond Kingdom forces retreat, Yuno bids farewell to Asta as Sylph and Charmy bicker. After the Black Bulls leave, Langris suggests that Yuno should choose his friends more carefully, but Yuno states that he is proud of Asta and that Asta is his rival. Langris laughs and asks for what they are competing, to which Yuno replies that they are both aiming to be the Magic Emperor. Langris laughs and says that commoners must not feel embarrassment, but also says he would expect nothing less from the peasant chosen by a four-leaf grimoire. Sylph gets angry at him, but Yuno calmly points out there is no rule stating commoners cannot become the Magic Emperor. He then deadpans that first, he will become the Captain of the Golden Dawn. Langris angrily notes that Yuno is ignoring him, the vice-captain.

Weeks later, at the Star Awards Festival, Julius announces that the Golden Dawn is the top-ranking squad and calls Yuno to the stage as he contributed the most stars. Asta is thrown onstage as the Black Bull representative and the two rookies greet each other. When the crowd doubts the boys' strength, Yuno has Sylph release her full power and fires an arrow at Asta, who cuts it. The resulting streams of wind blow through the audience, which impresses them. Julius takes that moment to rally the citizens behind the two boys. Yuno and Asta marvel at how far they have reached, while the crowd cheers for them.

Yuno and Asta are left speechless but unimpressed when Augustus Kira Clover XIII takes the stage. The king announces the Royal Knights Selection Exam, but Asta questions why the king is the one choosing the Knights. Yuno and Asta openly discuss the king and his lack of achievements, so Augustus orders their execution. Julius steps in and talks the king down. Afterward, Julius talks alone with Yuno and Asta and warns them not to be arrogant in the coming exams.

As the boys make their way down the tower stairs, they witness Mereoleona Vermillion berate the Crimson Lion squad. They overhear Mereoleona mention training in a hot spring, which Yuno considers easy while Asta considers it fun. Overhearing them, Mereoleona grabs both of their heads and forces them to join the training. She carries them to the Ultime-Volcano Mountain Trail after also picking up Yami Sukehiro, Charlotte Roselei, and Noelle. Leopold challenges Yuno and declares that they are rivals because they are both Asta's rivals, but Yuno does not care.

Mereoleona forces everyone onto the path, and most struggle to withstand the heat. After watching Yami and Charlotte use Mana Skin, Yuno concentrates and creates his own protective barrier. He then flies on ahead, taunting Asta, and destroys the falling rocks with whirlwinds. As he is reaching the peak, Yuno spots Asta flying after him and covered in Anti Magic. Yuno lands and watches Asta fly past him and be taken out by Mereoleona.

That night, when the volcano crater fills with water, Yuno joins the men on their side of the hot spring. Leopold heats up the water in an attempt to break Yuno's cool demeanor, while Yuno uses his Wind Magic to cool the air around him. Yami interrupts and suggests that they all peek on the women, which Yuno refuses to do. Yami threatens Yuno, and Asta comes to his brother's defense, pointing out that Yuno has only ever bathed with men, which frustrates Yuno because it could be misunderstood. For the rest of the week, Yuno continues training with Mana Skin and Sylph.

As the Knights gather for the Royal Knights Selection Exam, Yuno and Asta greet each other and bicker with Leopold about who will win a spot. After listening to Augustus and Julius explain the exam, Yuno is placed on Team P with Noelle and En Ringard.

Before the second match of the tournament, Yuno wonders who Kirsch Vermillion is, which Noelle and Klaus answer.

Before Team P's first match, Yuno and Noelle are bickering when Solid interrupts them. As the match begins, Yuno and Noelle disagree on who will lead the attack. The conversation is cut short when Yuno senses Team O rapidly approaching. Yuno attacks them while Noelle raises a defense, but when Alecdora uses his sand to absorb the water, Team P is forced to split up. Yuno flies off with Noelle and the crystal, and Alecdora chases after them. Noelle convinces Yuno to let her go after Team O's crystal by herself, so he creates a small Heavenly Wind Ark for her. He then turns and confronts Alecdora.

Yuno turns down Sylph's offer to help and destroys Alecdora's sand warrior by creating a Towering Tornado inside of it. Afterward, Yuno criticizes the defeated Alecdora, rejoins the others back on the platform, accepts a dessert from Charmy, which causes her to faint.

Later, after the Black Bulls stop Langris from killing Finral, the vice-captain tries to attack Asta, and Yuno senses that something is wrong. After Team B vs. Team G ends in a draw, Yuno defeats Team M by himself.

During the final match, Yuno and Sylph fight Rill Boismortier, while Nolle and En fight Nils Ragus and Ruben Chagar. Yuno initially struggles as Rill seals away any attacks within paintings. Yuno decides to show off his Spirit Dive, absorbing Sylph and greatly increasing his magic power. He unleashes his Spirit Storm, which Rill matches with Phantom Dragon Vouivre's Shout. The two Knights grow more and more excited until Rill accidentally shatters his own crystal. Team P are declared the victors of the match and the tournament.

Several days after the exam, Yuno and the others selected to be Royal Knights all assemble in the Royal Capital and are placed under the command of Mereoleona. Yuno changes into the new squad robes and reminds Asta, who is spacing out, of their competition for Magic Emperor.

After the squad travels to the Gravito Rock Zone, Mereoleona explains the situation and divides the squad into teams. Yuno infiltrates the dungeon with Mimosa, Klaus, and Hamon. As the team progresses, Yuno hears something from further ahead. After defeating three more mages by himself, Yuno reaches a stair leading to the source of the sound, the central chamber. There the team finds a man floating in a large sphere of magic. At the same time, Patolli finishes placing the magic stones in the sephirot. Yuno, Klaus, and Hamon begin glowing and are possessed by elf spirits.

Yuno stands by as Mimosa is beaten and restrained by her possessed teammates. Rhya drops Asta in the room, and the boy tries to free Mimosa but is attacked by Klaus and Hamon. Asta reaffirms his dream to become the Magic Emperor, which rouses Yuno to his senses. Yuno then defends Asta from Klaus and Hamon's combined attack and counters that he will claim that title.

Asta asks Yuno if it really him and Yuno replies that it is, which makes Asta happy. Yuno tells Asta to rest as he will fight the elves in front of them. Asta laughs and says he will fight along with him. Using Black Asta and Spirit Dive, they both defeat the two elves. Seeing the elves defeated gathers Licht's attention. Asta quickly notices how he is the leader of the Eye of the Midgnight Sun.

After placing the defeated elves on the ground, Licht pulls a sword from the floor, and walks towards Asta and Yuno, with the two of them preparing to fight back. As Asta draws his Demon-Dweller Sword, Licht closes the distance between them in an instant, catching them both off guard. He then takes the sword from Asta and uses it to repel the boys crashing into a wall. Asta is heavily injured by the attack and loses his black form in the process. He thinks how powerful Licht is and that his body is unable to move anymore. Still being able to fight, Yuno proceeds to fight back against Licht alone, with the elf on the verge of victory. However, before Licht can release his attack, Asta regains the use of his black form and charges into the air, surprising the elf and striking him together alongside Yuno.

However, Licht deflects their attack with his second sword, which is knocked out of his hand and then grabbed by Asta. Licht then releases a magical blast from the Demon-Dweller Sword, which sends Asta and Yuno crashing out from the air all the way through to the bottom of the dungeon and down to the ground below, with Yuno using his magic to protect them, and Mimosa as they are all sent crashing into the water below them.

After surviving Licht's attack, Asta, Yuno and Mimosa are meet by the other surviving members of the royal knights and later regroups with them outside of the dungeon. While being healed by the magic item given to them by Nozel, Asta and the others are informed about the elves attacking the kingdom, with Nozel stating that the kingdom needs to be saved even if it means killing the possessed Magic Knights. After Noelle suggests saving them instead of killing them, Asta and others agree, with Nozel accepting the decision and creating a vessel for everyone to travel back to the kingdom.

As they pass over the Forsaken Realm, Asta and Yuno notice that many villages in the area are being attacked by elves, including Hage. Despite asking to stop to defend Hage, Nozel refuses stating that the capital takes priority, however he does allow Asta and Yuno to go alone, telling them to catch up with them later in the capital. After departing, Asta and Yuno manage to arrive in time to stop the elf from killing Nash, Sister Lily, and the rest of their foster family. After complimenting Nash for his bravery, the two step up to fight against the elf, holding back many of the elf's attacks. After hearing that Father Orsi was poisoned, Asta leaves the elf to Yuno and goes to the father's side to help. Asta tries to dispel the poison with his Demon-Slayer Sword, but is unable to remove the poison. After failing with Demon-Slayer Sword, Asta notices the sword he grabbed from Licht appearing from his grimoire and tries using that, which ends up removing the poison from the Father's body. As the Anti Magic flows out from the sword and absorbs the poison in all the citizens, Asta gets an idea and returns to Yuno's side to fight the elf. After having a path opened for him by Yuno, Asta jabs the elf with his new sword, which dispelled the Reincarnation Magic and exorcises the elf spirit. After realizing that the sword could be used to save everyone possessed by the elves, Asta happily shows it off to Yuno, who then states that he was the one that did most of the work in defeating the elf. After being thanked by everyone in the village, Asta and Yuno leave with the formally possessed Magic Knight, now heading straight for the capital to help save the kingdom.

After travelling for a while, Yuno tells the others that they are going to reach the common realm soon. Yuno also says that he can sense elf magic coming from two directions, which leads to Asta suggesting that they split up. Asta also suggests that Yuno take the Purple Orca member since he has his sword. Yuno agrees with Asta, while also commenting that they can use the Poison Plant Magic to stop the elf from moving. Both Asta and Yuno then agree to meet up at the capital. After splitting up from Asta, Yuno and the Purple Orca member gather as many unpossessed Magic Knights as they can find and make their way towards the capital, arriving just in time to help the Black Bulls and Kirsch Vermillion fight off the elves in the capital. After being greeted by Charmy, the entrance to Shadow Palace opens up again in response to Yuno's magic stone, with both Yuno and Charmy traveling through the gate.

After being separated from Charmy, Yuno ends up in the different room of the Shadow Palace, with Rhya, Patolli and another elf awaiting him. Rhya says that he is surprised that Yuno is here since Yuno arrived here after defeating the elves they had sent to go get him. Rhya then says that he is glad that Yuno had arrived here safely, while Patolli tells Yuno to hand over the magic stone. As Ronne mumbles something, Rhya comments about how Ronne's voice is as quiet as ever since he cannot understand Ronne. As Patolli and Rhya launch spells at Yuno, Yuno uses a spell to easily dodge the spells. Patolli is shocked by Yuno's ability to dodge their spells. Yuno then launches spells at the elves, but the elves manages to dodge. Rhya thinks about how Yuno has gotten even stronger, and that Yuno innate talent might be stronger then Licht's. Suddenly Ronne appears next to Yuno and tries to get the magic stone, but Yuno manages to dodge it. Yuno thinks about how Ronne is not using super speed to get close to him since he was not able to detect him within his Mana Zone. Ronne then tries to get the magic stone again, which Yuno notices that Ronne had moved him and figures out that Ronne is capable of moving object that he once touched. Yuno manages to get away, but Ronne has obtained the stone. Yuno says that he does not care about the magic stones, but tells them to give it back since that is his. Rhya says that what Ronne had done is nice, while commenting that he could never beat Ronne at tag. Ronne says that they will now be able to be repaid for everything that had happened up til now. Rhya notices that what Ronne had said is a lie, and asks why Ronne is lying. Rhya asks why Ronne is lying, which Ronne smiles and manages to wound Rhya. As Patolli rushes to Rhya's side and asks Ronne what he is doing, Ronne simply replies that the devil dwells within the five-leaf clover, as Ronne places the magic stone in the pedestal, he says that the thing that he wants shall be summoned from hell to the Shadow Palace, and then the elf reveals himself to them as a devil.

As Yuno is shocked by the devil, and wonders what it is. The devil laughs and tells Patolli that he senses the same despair in him, that Licht had on that day. Patolli asks what the devil means, which the devil tells him that he was the one that tricked the humans into destroying the elves on that day. The devil also explains how he easily manipulated the humans with their desires, and how the elves put their very lives on the line to carry out the vengeance he strung them into. The devil then laughs and says how every singly one of them are fools. Yuno quickly grabs both Patolli and Rhya, and uses a spell to dodge the incoming spell. Yuno tosses Patolli and Rhya to the side and tells Patolli that he will not allow him to do whatever he wants with Captain Vangeance's body. As the devil says that he was planning to deal with Yuno later, which Yuno replies that he can tell that he can already tell that the devil is scum. Yuno also says that he will end this by putting an end to the Devil right now, and fires a spell at the devil. The devil says vacuum wall and manages to destroy the spell. The devil then tells Yuno that everything is meaningless against his Kotodama Magic.

Yuno thinks about how since he has become stronger, he can tell that the devil's magic is terrifying. Yuno also thinks about how he cannot defeat the devil, if he is alone. As Asta and Mimosa suddenly arrive, Yuno says that he is late while the devil smiles. After Patolli is attacked by the devil, Yuno tells Asta that it is the mastermind behind everything, and both charge at him. The devil defends himself by having rain blade, which Asta and Yuno try to defend against the blade. Asta notices that there are real blades mixed in and tries to dodge them since his Anti Magic will not work on them. Yuno also continues to dodge the blade with his magic but comments about how it taking a like out of him. The devil uses his magic to pin Asta and Yuno to the ground and then continues to crush them into the ground.

After dealing with Asta and Yuno, Zagred starts to explain how he had set his sights on Patolli to accomplish his goal after he was stopped from last time. Patolli replies that it was Licht that resurrected the elves to seek vengeance, which the devil informs Patolli that Licht never wanted this and that he resurrected the elves to achieve his goal. As Patolli realizes what has happened, he cries out which Zagred laughs at how fun it was to manipulate them.

Suddenly Asta and Yuno get back up and express how their dream would not be defeated by the likes of a devil. Rhya notices that the power within Yuno has finally awoken, while Zagred notices that devil within Asta is resonating with him. As Asta and Yuno charge towards the devil, Zagred sends another rain of blades at them but both of them manage to counter the blades. Asta and Yuno manage to reach the devil and wound him. Zagred uses his magic to heal himself and comments about how they were able to wound him. As Patolli's grimoire changes, the devil explains how a five-leaf clover grimoire is created. As Zagred obtains his grimoire, the devil explains what he had to do just to obtain this grimoire.

As Asta and Yuno rushes towards Zagred, the devil uses his magic to free Patolli and turn him into a Dark Elf. Patolli then launches a spell at Asta and Yuno, which Yuno barely manages to dodge while Asta is forced into the wall. Yuno asks if Asta is okay, which Asta tells him that he is fine and thinks about how his Anti Magic had protected him. Both of them also think about how Patolli has gotten even stronger. Zagred decides to leave through the exit from above, but thinks about how the devil in Asta has to obtain that body soon or he will die with Asta. As Asta thinks about how he cannot let Zagred get away, Patolli suddenly appears before him. As Patolli attacks, Asta manages to dodge. Yuno launches a spell at Patolli, but Patolli uses his magic to dodge and get close to Asta. As Patolli lands a blow on Asta, Asta tries to convince Patolli that they can understand each other and to get out of there way.

Suddenly Patolli starts to charge his mana, which Asta manages to recognize. Asta and Yuno notices how damaging the spell is and that it more powerful then the previous one. As Patolli launches the spell, Asta and Yuno work together to reflect the spell. Suddenly Asta's black form comes undone, which Yuno catches him and comments about how Patolli should be low on mana. Patolli starts to charge the spell again, which Asta and Yuno are shocked by this. As Patolli launches the spell, Nozel arrives and reflects the spell with his magic. Nozel tells Patolli that he cannot win again him since his Mercury Magic has a better affinity against Patolli's Light Magic. As Patolli launches spell at Nozel, Nozel counters by creating shields that reflect the light. Nozel then start to launch mercury at Patolli but Patolli uses his magic to dodge it all. Nozel compliments Patolli on his ability, but that his preparation is now complete. Nozel cast a spell that traps Patolli and will continue to attack him. As Patolli continues to dodge the prison's attacks, he decides to attack Nozel. As Patolli launches spells at Nozel, the prison reflects the spells back at him. After capturing Patolli, Yuno convinces Nozel to allow Asta to try to exorcise Patolli, due to it possessing Vangeance's body. After Asta reasons with Patolli, the elf asks for their help in dealing with the devil, to which they agree to.

Knowing that the devil had reached the top floor, Nozel sends Asta, Yuno, and Patolli to deal with the issue, with them arriving to see that Licht was already in the middle of a battle with him. Suddenly Lemiel Silvamillion Clover and Secre Swallowtail burst into the room, which Zagred says that he is surprised to see Lemiel again. Yuno informs Asta who Lemiel is, while Secre informs Lemiel who Asta and Yuno are. Lemiel and Secre notices Licht and head over to examine him. After examining him, Secre uses her magic to unseal Licht's soul. Once Licht's soul is unsealed, Licht thanks Lemiel for what he had done back then. Lemiel, Licht, and Secre head over to where Asta, Yuno, and Patolli are at. Licht talks with Patolli about what Patolli had done, and hugs Patolli while commenting about how even through Patolli mistaking, he did help out their people. Licht and Lemiel then turn to Zagred, and comments about how they will finally settle things from 500 years ago. As the devil has his creature attack them, Lemiel and Licht each use spell to destroy the creature. While Zagred analyzes what the two had done, Licht gets beside the devil and fires a spell. Zagred dodges the spell, but Licht manages to absorb the spell and fires the spell at the devil. Zagred dodges again and thinks about how Licht and Lemiel are to fast for him to counter with his Kotodama Magic. Lemiel manages to land a blow on Zagred, but the devil counters by conjuring a trident and ripping off Lemiel's arm.

As Zagred comments about how nothing can kill him since he has a body and grimoire, Asta shows up and attacks the devil. Zagred thinks about how Asta's sword was able to counter his trident's ability to disintegrate anything that it touches. Zagred uses his magic to force Asta away, and has it rain swords at him. As Asta starts to counter the swords, Lemiel, Licht, Yuno and Patolli show up and help him. Secre then help Lemiel, by using a spell to reattach his arm. Asta is amazed by what Secre did and comments about how he feels that he knows her, but Secre tells him to focus the battle. As Zagred comments about how worthless all magic is against him, Secre tells the devil that he will be take down by the people that he sees as worthless.

Zagred says that they should speed things up, but comments about how the only exit is on this floor and that the ones on the lower floor will be consumed by his creature before they finish him. Licht tells Zagred that all their power will finish the devil off, which Licht uses his sword to absorb all of the power of the elves. After absorbing all of the elves power, Licht unleashes a spell that obliterates the Zagred's body. As the others are amazed by what Licht had done, but notices that the devil's heart is still intact. Zagred then uses his magic to restore his body. Asta thinks about how powerful Licht's sword is, and wonders what his sword is capable of doing. Asta decides to unleash his power and releases his Anti-magic. Asta loses control of his power and flies towards Zagred. The devil tries to attack Asta with his trident, but Asta easily cuts right through it. Zagred then has his creature attack Asta, but Lemiel comes to his rescue. Suddenly Asta sends Lemiel flying into the wall. Yuno and Patolli attack the Zagred's creature, which Patolli thinks about how their magic is useless against the creature. Patolli thinks about how his other magic should be able to work, and magic to use a spell to harm the creature. Zagred comments about how even that magic is useless against him, while Asta tries to get his magic under control. Secre checks up on Lemiel, which Lemiel says that he is fine and is amazed by Asta's Anti-magic. Secre says that she should unseal Asta's power, which Lemiel tells her not to since he is sure that it will be fine. Yuno uses the remnant magic in the air to create a sword that is capable of harming the devil's creature, while asking Asta how long he plans to lag behind. Asta replies that he has just figured it out, and uses his Anti-magic to upgrade his sword. As Lemiel thinks about what Yuno had done but wonders who Asta is, which Secre tells Lemiel that Asta is someone that has worked harder then anyone else in the kingdom while not giving up.

Zagred has his creature attack, which Asta and Yuno easily counters the attack. Yuno uses his magic to push Asta towards Zagred, which Asta manages to pierce the devil with his sword. Suddenly multiple mouths appear all over the Zagred's body, and uses them to force Asta away and have his creature multiple faster. While Patolli defends against the creature, Lemiel and Licht tells Patolli that they are leaving this area in his care while they help the others on the lower floor. As Zagred says that its now over, Asta and Yuno tell him that its not finished until they take care of the devil. Secre thinks about how she originally wanted to use Asta but changed her mind after seeing all the hard work he had put in, and tells Asta to win.

Zagred has his creature attack Asta and Yuno, which the two easily counters the attack. Asta and Yuno head towards the devil, but Asta suddenly feels a pain and notices that he is reach his limit. Licht and Lemiel then uses a spell to protect the elves along with those around them, from Zagred's creature. As the creature goes to attack Lemiel, Licht, and Secre, Patolli protects them with a spell. As the creature goes to attack Asta, Yuno comes to his rescue. Zagred sees this and tells them that this is were they will meet their end, and has his creature attack again. Secre is watching the two and thinks about how she had thought that Asta would never be able to be like Lemiel. As the creature attacks, easily counters it. Yuno notices Asta and wonder if he is already at his limit. Yuno tells Asta that he will leave him behind if he cannot keep up and head towards Zagred, which Asta quickly chances after him. The devil sees this and thinks about how Yuno cannot cut through his heart, while Asta will will not be able to cut through his heart. Zagred notices that Asta had gotten behind him, and thinks about how Asta used the remnants of the shredded magic in order to get behind him. Asta and Yuno manages to reach Zagred and cut into him. Suddenly Asta's Black Form comes undone, which Asta thinks about how he is has reach his limit. Zagred forces Yuno away, then starts to taunt Asta. Yami then launches his spell and manages to cut the devil in half. While the others are shocked by this, Zagred is confused about how this can happen. Secre uses this chance to heal Asta's wounds with a spell and thinks that Asta should be able to summon his Anti-magic. As Zagred goes to attack, Yuno shows up and stops him. Asta then uses a spell to cut the devil in two.

Licht, Lemiel Silvamillion Clover, Patolli, and Secre Swallowtail are shocked by the sudden victory. Patolli and Secre remember everything that has happened in the past, and Secre thanks Asta and Yuno for what they did. Yuno holds up an exhausted Asta. As the mages celebrate their victory, Licht warns that the structure is collapsing. Yuno thinks about how they have to get out of the Shadow Palace but there are people among the lower floors. Lemiel's body is beginning to give out so the magical protection will not last. With Lemiel's magic reaching its limit, and the protective light disappearing, Asta yells in terror at the fate awaiting those below. However, a portal appears and drops the assorted Magic Knights and elves on top of Asta and Yuno. Rades Spirito and Valtos appear from another portal, and Valtos explains that this is the first step in his atonement. Rades is unrepentant though. Patolli is reminded he too must atone for William Vangeance's situation. Suddenly Yami cuts a hole through the spell while Charla and Revchi Salik pull them up out of it. Yami has hold of Gueldre Poizot. Asta notices that Revchi and Geuldre are with the captains of the Black Bulls and Blue Roses. Lemiel is fascinated by the odd magics and consders the Clover Kingdom to be in good hands. With everyone gathered, they all head to the exit.

After returning to the Kingdom, Nozel tells them all that they have to stop the rampaging elves that are still trapped by the revenge ruse they were all tricked into. After Patolli says that they still have a chance since Licht's and William's magic will be able to reach everyone in the kingdom, Valtos appears before Patolli and gives him William's grimoire, which Patolli thanks him for. Yuno then watches as Asta exorcises Patolli from William's body, and then watches as William, Licht and Asta work together to finally exorcise the rest of the elves' spirits, undoing the Reincarnation Magic and saving the rest of the Clover Kingdom.

Days after the battle with the elves, William retrieved and returned the Magic Stone necklace to Yuno, which Yuno was very appreciative of. As the Clover and Heart Kingdoms enter into an alliance, Yuno is one of the many mages in the clover kingdom seen preparing to train to get stronger in six months. During this time, Yuno managed to advance through the ranks of the Golden Dawn, becoming their new Vice-Captain in the process.

Six months later, Yuno is headed out on a mission when he receives a message from Hage. After quickly finishing his mission, Yuno flies back to his old home and greets Sister Lily. She takes him inside to meet Ralph who addresses Yuno as the rightful prince of the Spade Kingdom. Yuno doubts the claim, so Ralph shows him memories of his past. Even though he believes them to be true, Yuno rejects the title. The conversation is interrupted by an emergency alert that the Golden Dawn base is being attacked. Ralph fears that it is the Dark Triad and warns Yuno not to go, but Yuno heads out anyway since he is a vice-captain.

Yuno arrives at the partially destroyed base and finds the Dark Disciple Gaderois Godroc standing among the bodies of several Golden Dawns. Yuno attacks but the Disciple's devil-reinforced Stone Magic is undamaged. When Gaderois attacks, Yuno dodges the stones while rescuing his squadmates who are still alive. As the fight continues, Yuno refuses to give his name to Gaderois and rejects the Disciple's notion that they both are powerful because they enjoy hurting and killing others. Yuno defeats Gaderois with a slash from Spirit of Zephyr.

Yuno moves out to the courtyard where the other Dark Disciple, Foyal Migusteau, has trapped and defeated some more Golden Dawns. Yuno blows away the Mist Magic hiding Foyal's real body, but Foyal's Sealing Spectral Hands catch the vice-captain due to Yuno's injuries from the previous battle. Letoile Becquerel takes advantage of the distraction and catches Foyal in Another Atlas, which strips away his mists and allows Klaus's Blazing Spiral Lance to strike Foyal, defeating him.

As the three Golden Dawns talk, part of the ceiling collapses and reveals that Zenon Zogratis has captured William. Yuno recognizes Zenon as one of the Zogratis siblings, and Sylph warns Yuno about the man's strength. Zenon attacks the three with a tangle of bone spears. Yuno survives by cutting them with his sword, but Klaus and Letoile's defense crumbles and they are impaled. Outraged, Yuno charges at Zenon, who blocks the strike with bones that regenerate faster than they can be destroyed. Zenon is impressed with Yuno's strength and decides to demonstrate 55% of a devil's power. Zenon creates his own sword and cuts through Yuno's Spirit of Zephyr. Yuno is then defeated and left dying amidst the rubble.

Ralph reaches the base and finds Sylph crying on Yuno's chest. As she begins crumbling away, William's Budding of Yggdrasil activates and heals the injured Golden Dawns. Yuno wakes up, to the delight of Sylph and Ralph. Hearing that half of the Knights there are dead, Yuno yells out in frustration over his own weakness.

Days later, Yuno attends a meeting with the remaining captains gather for a meeting. They are briefed on the Dark Triad's plot, and Yuno remarks that the Dark Triad members are stronger than the captains. When Jack the Ripper dismisses this claim, Yuno glares at him. The meeting is interrupted by the sudden arrival of Nacht Faust and Asta. Yuno is surprised to see Asta there. After Julius vouches for Nacht's identity as the Black Bull's vice-captain and a spy in the Spade Kingdom, Yuno listens as Nacht explains the Tree of Qliphoth's ritual and structure. Afterward, Nacht expresses his desire to build a team around Asta and his Anti Magic in order to rescue Yami and William and to destroy the Tree of Qliphoth. Yuno requests a place on the team. Nacht asks about Ralph's visit to Yuno, so Yuno admits that he is a prince of the Spade Kingdom and offers to have Ralph share information about the Dark Triad and castle. When Jack accuses him of being a spy, Yuno proclaims that he will be the one who saves William since William protected the squad while fighting Zenon. Jack senses the magic swirling around Yuno and tries to get him to sit down, but Sylph interrupts Jack, declaring that Yuno will not lose again. Nacht announces that the team will leave on the morning of the third day, and Asta encourages Yuno to help defeat the Dark Triad and rescue their captains.

While Yuno is training to counter Zenon's Spatial Magic, Langris approaches Yuno and offers to help him train. The next morning, Yuno, Langris, and the other Magic Knights selected for the Spade Kingdom invasion gather at the Magic Knights Headquarters. When Nacht informs them that Asta will be late, Yuno and Jack claim to be the ones to defeat the Dark Triad before Asta arrives, but Nozel asserts that it will be the squad as a whole who will defeat the Dark Triad. After infiltrating the castle, Yuno, Langris, and Nozel split off to face Zenon. Nozel trails behind to handle the Dark Disciples along the way, while Yuno and Langris continue on to fight Zenon.

Zenon asks how did Yuno survive the attack. Yuno says it was due to the power of William and declares they will take him back. He proceeds to attack with Tornado Fang while noting how Zenon uses his bone magic to defend. Yuno watches as Langris and Zenon fight each other using spatial magic. Zenon casts Spatial Mana Domination and claims he will kill them without moving an inch. At that moment, Yuno summons Sylph and they reveal a more complete version of Spirit Dive, along with a new spell, Spirit of Boreas. He takes control of the mana surrounding them and strikes Zenon in his torso. After defeating Zenon, he senses the growth of the Tree of Qliphoth as the first gate opens.
