1
00:00:03,597 --> 00:00:07,697
It appeared as though humanity
would be destroyed by the demon.
2
00:00:09,517 --> 00:00:14,297
But a single mage saved them all.
3
00:00:14,297 --> 00:00:19,377
His name was Lumiere Silvamillion Clover.
4
00:00:22,427 --> 00:00:28,727
He would eventually be called the first
Wizard King, and he became a legend.
5
00:01:56,167 --> 00:01:59,527
{\an8}Nero Reminisces...
Part One
6
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:16,207
One of the Black Bulls, huh?
7
00:02:18,517 --> 00:02:22,067
My prince, so much has happened...
8
00:02:22,927 --> 00:02:27,817
Ever since we met on that
day 500 years ago.
9
00:02:33,777 --> 00:02:36,807
Hey there! You must be Secré.
10
00:02:37,167 --> 00:02:41,907
Sorry, I'm researching ancient
magic right now, so I can't get up.
11
00:02:42,377 --> 00:02:44,567
By the way, what kind of magic do you have?
12
00:02:44,907 --> 00:02:46,567
Sealing magic?!
13
00:02:47,027 --> 00:02:49,237
What's that? I've never heard of it before!
14
00:02:49,237 --> 00:02:51,327
That's so unusual! How amazing!
15
00:02:51,777 --> 00:02:55,867
How should we have you use it?
Just thinking about it is exciting, isn't it?
16
00:02:56,987 --> 00:02:58,507
Magical tools?
17
00:02:58,507 --> 00:03:01,757
Yup. So that people who aren't
blessed with magic or by their
18
00:03:01,757 --> 00:03:04,027
magical attribute can
use all kinds of spells.
19
00:03:04,027 --> 00:03:07,467
That way, I think we can
make our society more equal.
20
00:03:07,467 --> 00:03:10,217
But that just sounds like a silly dream.
21
00:03:10,217 --> 00:03:12,027
They're tools to help me with that.
22
00:03:12,027 --> 00:03:14,327
I think I'll call them magic items.
23
00:03:14,327 --> 00:03:17,517
I'm sure your magic will help me with this!
24
00:03:17,517 --> 00:03:20,477
For example, can you seal magic into objects?
25
00:03:20,477 --> 00:03:22,097
Um... Yes.
26
00:03:22,097 --> 00:03:24,487
You can?! That's amazing!
27
00:03:25,437 --> 00:03:28,867
I helped the prince make magical tools.
28
00:03:30,737 --> 00:03:34,497
He really was nothing like I'd imagined.
29
00:03:35,187 --> 00:03:40,837
There were members of his family
who didn't like his progressive ideas.
30
00:03:40,837 --> 00:03:45,817
But he didn't let that bother him,
and he never compromised his ideals.
31
00:03:45,817 --> 00:03:47,657
He was a strong, honest person.
32
00:03:51,137 --> 00:03:53,287
I didn't know it at the time,
33
00:03:53,287 --> 00:03:56,887
but the prince interacted with
a race other than humans.
34
00:03:56,887 --> 00:04:02,127
They were a race loved by mana,
who lived their lives in peace.
35
00:04:02,127 --> 00:04:03,317
They were the elves.
36
00:04:04,907 --> 00:04:06,397
A four-leaf grimoire!
37
00:04:06,397 --> 00:04:10,407
Licht of sword magic was chosen
by a four-leaf grimoire!
38
00:04:10,837 --> 00:04:13,077
What's a four-leaf grimoire, Mommy?
39
00:04:13,077 --> 00:04:16,137
It's a grimoire with good fortune in it.
40
00:04:16,137 --> 00:04:18,747
Only those it chooses can wield it!
41
00:04:21,267 --> 00:04:23,747
Licht, with the four-leaf grimoire...
42
00:04:23,747 --> 00:04:25,427
He's so cool!
43
00:04:28,467 --> 00:04:35,037
The three leaves of the clover
represent faith, hope, and love.
44
00:04:35,037 --> 00:04:37,897
Within a fourth leaf dwells good luck.
45
00:04:37,897 --> 00:04:39,217
Within a fifth leaf...
46
00:04:39,217 --> 00:04:41,017
resides a devil.
47
00:04:41,497 --> 00:04:45,817
We thought that was just a saying.
48
00:04:46,437 --> 00:04:48,397
So what do you think, Licht?
49
00:04:49,507 --> 00:04:53,737
About the rumors that the
humans might attack us.
50
00:04:54,997 --> 00:04:56,657
I believe they're just rumors.
51
00:04:56,657 --> 00:04:59,667
But I wouldn't say it's
completely impossible.
52
00:04:59,667 --> 00:05:00,897
They're...
53
00:05:00,897 --> 00:05:06,667
Humans are a wicked-hearted
race that kills animals for sport.
54
00:05:08,717 --> 00:05:10,017
That's...
55
00:05:17,807 --> 00:05:19,417
Licht!
56
00:05:19,417 --> 00:05:21,017
Sword Magic:
57
00:05:21,347 --> 00:05:23,107
Origin Flash!
58
00:05:23,827 --> 00:05:24,977
Light Magic:
59
00:05:24,977 --> 00:05:26,637
Lamp of Avior!
60
00:05:32,397 --> 00:05:33,817
Are you all right?
61
00:05:33,817 --> 00:05:35,367
Y-Yes.
62
00:05:35,877 --> 00:05:38,077
Thank you so much.
63
00:05:39,217 --> 00:05:42,107
Tetia! Why did you leave the
castle without permission?
64
00:05:42,107 --> 00:05:43,167
Brother...
65
00:05:43,167 --> 00:05:45,277
Your magical attribute is wind.
66
00:05:45,277 --> 00:05:48,677
How did you, of all people,
get caught up in a mana tornado?
67
00:05:50,547 --> 00:05:52,737
Thank you for saving my little sister.
68
00:05:52,737 --> 00:05:54,007
It's nothing...
69
00:06:05,417 --> 00:06:07,107
Phenomenal magic and skill...
70
00:06:07,607 --> 00:06:09,647
The same thoughts and ideals...
71
00:06:09,647 --> 00:06:11,447
The same four-leaf grimoires...
72
00:06:12,187 --> 00:06:14,177
The leader of the elves, Licht,
73
00:06:14,177 --> 00:06:17,337
was the first peer and friend
that the prince had ever had.
74
00:06:19,217 --> 00:06:20,897
We can come to understand each other.
75
00:06:21,387 --> 00:06:24,417
You elves have truly amazing mana.
76
00:06:24,417 --> 00:06:27,947
By combining that with the magic-item
technology that we humans created,
77
00:06:27,947 --> 00:06:31,297
we can make this land
safer and more prosperous.
78
00:06:31,297 --> 00:06:33,987
Let us live together, hand in hand.
79
00:06:40,387 --> 00:06:43,707
Through his work with the elves,
spells and magic-item technology
80
00:06:43,707 --> 00:06:49,077
that would help not only the humans,
but both races to live in peace as equals
81
00:06:49,077 --> 00:06:51,527
were slowly becoming a reality.
82
00:06:52,307 --> 00:06:54,647
The prince and Licht were best friends.
83
00:06:54,647 --> 00:06:58,067
And they were supposed to become family.
84
00:06:58,617 --> 00:07:00,737
You're with child?
85
00:07:02,067 --> 00:07:04,747
With you two as its parents,
I'm sure it'll be a wonderful child!
86
00:07:04,747 --> 00:07:07,417
Congrats, Tetia... and Licht, too, I guess.
87
00:07:08,437 --> 00:07:11,167
Well, thanks, I guess.
88
00:07:12,037 --> 00:07:14,547
What? Something bothering you?
89
00:07:14,547 --> 00:07:15,427
Well...
90
00:07:15,427 --> 00:07:18,097
I guess you are still a kid.
91
00:07:18,407 --> 00:07:22,617
Be quiet! Stop treating me like a child!
92
00:07:22,617 --> 00:07:24,227
Yeah, yeah...
93
00:07:25,317 --> 00:07:26,307
Lumiere...
94
00:07:26,307 --> 00:07:30,857
Soon, I'll marry Tetia and become your brother.
95
00:07:32,177 --> 00:07:34,897
I'm sure there will be humans
who look down upon that.
96
00:07:35,977 --> 00:07:37,227
You're probably right.
97
00:07:37,917 --> 00:07:40,147
But with you...
98
00:07:41,517 --> 00:07:44,317
I'll be able to create a
peaceful and equal world.
99
00:07:44,907 --> 00:07:46,067
I truly believe that.
100
00:07:47,627 --> 00:07:49,037
I believe that, too.
101
00:07:49,037 --> 00:07:50,277
I'm sure...
102
00:07:50,837 --> 00:07:54,657
...it was fate that brought us together.
103
00:07:56,297 --> 00:08:01,327
I'm really sorry, but I'm probably
going to be late to your wedding.
104
00:08:01,327 --> 00:08:05,307
Sadly, Father has summoned
me to the palace that day.
105
00:08:05,647 --> 00:08:08,827
I know that he and the others
are against this marriage now,
106
00:08:08,827 --> 00:08:10,157
but don't worry.
107
00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:13,237
I'm sure they'll understand someday
and give you their blessings.
108
00:08:13,237 --> 00:08:14,237
I know.
109
00:08:14,237 --> 00:08:19,197
I'm sure Licht and the others
will be eager to see you.
110
00:08:19,597 --> 00:08:22,867
But it's likely that even then,
111
00:08:23,177 --> 00:08:25,747
he was already manipulating
the whole situation.
112
00:08:25,747 --> 00:08:28,367
I wonder why Father summoned me today.
113
00:08:28,367 --> 00:08:31,777
We didn't mention the wedding
to anyone, so is it a coincidence?
114
00:08:31,777 --> 00:08:34,377
I need to hurry to the ceremony.
115
00:08:36,877 --> 00:08:38,047
Congratulations!
116
00:08:38,047 --> 00:08:39,457
I wish you both years of happiness!
117
00:08:39,457 --> 00:08:40,797
May the mana bless you!
118
00:08:40,797 --> 00:08:42,577
Thank you so much.
119
00:08:45,177 --> 00:08:48,057
Aw... I hope someday I'll also...
120
00:08:48,057 --> 00:08:51,117
I'm sure you'll meet
someone lovely soon, Fana.
121
00:08:51,117 --> 00:08:52,667
I sure hope so.
122
00:08:52,667 --> 00:08:54,747
I wish you a lifetime of happiness.
123
00:08:54,747 --> 00:08:55,777
Thank you.
124
00:08:56,167 --> 00:09:00,727
I wonder if we can come to understand
humans someday, just like he said.
125
00:09:00,727 --> 00:09:03,277
Licht seems to believe that, too.
126
00:09:03,787 --> 00:09:09,107
I guess it's possible... for elves
and humans to join hands someday.
127
00:09:10,277 --> 00:09:12,747
Father, where are you?
128
00:09:13,237 --> 00:09:14,697
"Bind."
129
00:09:18,087 --> 00:09:20,337
What is this?
130
00:09:21,827 --> 00:09:23,637
Good day, my prince.
131
00:09:23,637 --> 00:09:24,997
Minister?!
132
00:09:25,417 --> 00:09:28,987
No... The evil mana that's coming
from him doesn't belong to him.
133
00:09:29,397 --> 00:09:30,437
Who are you?!
134
00:09:32,457 --> 00:09:33,437
Who am I?
135
00:09:33,437 --> 00:09:36,337
Despair, hatred,
136
00:09:36,337 --> 00:09:38,627
disloyalty, or death...
137
00:09:38,627 --> 00:09:40,947
You may call me whatever you wish.
138
00:09:42,217 --> 00:09:44,297
A soul with evil mana...
139
00:09:44,297 --> 00:09:47,917
I've read about this being
from another world! A devil?
140
00:09:48,757 --> 00:09:50,157
Where are my father and the others?
141
00:09:50,157 --> 00:09:51,657
Who knows?
142
00:09:51,657 --> 00:09:54,727
Maybe they've gone to destroy the other race
143
00:09:54,727 --> 00:09:58,207
that's trying to harm the princess and,
indeed, the entire kingdom.
144
00:09:59,187 --> 00:10:01,777
I'm sure the elves will be quite surprised
145
00:10:01,777 --> 00:10:04,347
when the humans' violence and greed
146
00:10:04,347 --> 00:10:08,097
fall upon the wedding ceremony
that only you should know about.
147
00:10:09,217 --> 00:10:10,307
What?!
148
00:10:11,847 --> 00:10:17,107
Once I obtain my body and grimoire,
I'll come play with you again.
149
00:10:17,107 --> 00:10:18,537
Wait!
150
00:10:20,497 --> 00:10:22,867
Someone! Isn't there anyone here?
151
00:10:22,867 --> 00:10:23,807
Anyone!
152
00:10:23,807 --> 00:10:24,607
Prince!
153
00:10:25,387 --> 00:10:26,447
Secré!
154
00:10:26,447 --> 00:10:28,557
What's going on, Your Highness?
155
00:10:28,557 --> 00:10:30,607
There's a devil plotting something!
156
00:10:30,607 --> 00:10:32,787
So it wasn't you, was it, Your Highness?
157
00:10:32,787 --> 00:10:36,427
That magic item we made is gone!
158
00:10:37,467 --> 00:10:39,897
Secré! Break these restraints!
159
00:10:39,897 --> 00:10:40,757
Right!
160
00:10:40,757 --> 00:10:43,317
Sealing Magic: Inverse Release!
161
00:10:46,757 --> 00:10:49,217
Faster... I need to go faster!
162
00:10:49,217 --> 00:10:52,017
Tetia, Licht, everyone...
163
00:10:54,437 --> 00:10:55,517
Wh-What's going on?!
164
00:10:55,517 --> 00:10:57,977
The humans are attacking!
165
00:10:59,187 --> 00:11:01,457
This way! Hurry!
166
00:11:01,457 --> 00:11:02,797
I can't use any magic!
167
00:11:03,527 --> 00:11:06,487
Our magic has been sealed!
168
00:11:06,487 --> 00:11:07,417
Get down!
169
00:11:11,897 --> 00:11:14,907
This is light magic. That means...
170
00:11:17,467 --> 00:11:19,057
...dare you...
171
00:11:19,747 --> 00:11:21,047
How dare you?!
172
00:11:25,217 --> 00:11:28,347
How dare you?! How dare you?!
How dare you?! How dare you?!
173
00:11:28,347 --> 00:11:30,057
How dare you?! How dare you?!
174
00:11:30,607 --> 00:11:32,057
I'll never...
175
00:11:54,947 --> 00:11:56,487
Lich...
176
00:11:56,487 --> 00:11:57,327
...t...
177
00:12:00,797 --> 00:12:02,667
That's the magic item we made!
178
00:12:03,617 --> 00:12:06,737
Magic items that stored and distributed magic,
179
00:12:06,737 --> 00:12:11,177
and the elves' magic stones, which linked
to another world and amplified spells...
180
00:12:29,987 --> 00:12:32,447
A five-leaf grimoire...
181
00:12:33,437 --> 00:12:34,387
I knew it...
182
00:12:34,997 --> 00:12:35,947
Licht...
183
00:12:36,357 --> 00:12:39,777
I knew it wasn't you.
184
00:12:42,707 --> 00:12:47,077
I'm sorry I doubted you for even a second.
185
00:12:47,077 --> 00:12:48,237
Please forgive me.
186
00:12:49,587 --> 00:12:51,957
You are the future we believed in.
187
00:12:52,617 --> 00:12:54,807
You are hope.
188
00:12:55,857 --> 00:12:56,817
Licht...
189
00:12:57,477 --> 00:13:02,177
Right now, I am filled with
tremendous negative mana.
190
00:13:02,177 --> 00:13:04,337
I don't have full control anymore.
191
00:13:04,337 --> 00:13:06,987
At this rate, that devil will...
192
00:13:07,827 --> 00:13:08,717
Don't...
193
00:13:09,277 --> 00:13:14,417
To prevent my magic and body from falling
into the hands of something wicked...
194
00:13:14,417 --> 00:13:17,287
I've pulled even more negative
magic into myself.
195
00:13:17,287 --> 00:13:20,157
Don't... Don't do this, Licht!
196
00:13:20,157 --> 00:13:24,277
I'm sorry. This is my last selfish request.
197
00:13:24,277 --> 00:13:28,167
You're the only one who can grant it.
198
00:13:33,677 --> 00:13:36,177
Don't do this, Licht!
199
00:13:55,417 --> 00:13:56,657
Lumiere...
200
00:13:58,447 --> 00:14:02,267
Please kill me!
201
00:14:15,467 --> 00:14:19,427
The devil manipulated the prince and the elves
202
00:14:19,427 --> 00:14:24,727
so that he could throw the owner of
the four-leaf grimoire into deep despair.
203
00:14:25,057 --> 00:14:28,857
Because that is when a
five-leaf grimoire is born,
204
00:14:28,857 --> 00:14:32,397
and the devil is able
to appear in this world
205
00:14:32,397 --> 00:14:36,127
in his true form and
with his true powers.
206
00:14:40,347 --> 00:14:41,987
What in the world is that creature?!
207
00:14:41,987 --> 00:14:43,577
R-Run!
208
00:14:57,707 --> 00:14:59,917
Oh, God...
209
00:14:59,917 --> 00:15:01,677
It's the end of the world.
210
00:15:11,077 --> 00:15:12,857
I finally understand...
211
00:15:12,857 --> 00:15:15,617
why I was born with so much...
212
00:15:16,417 --> 00:15:17,457
magical power.
213
00:15:18,747 --> 00:15:19,757
I will not let you...
214
00:15:20,867 --> 00:15:22,447
become a murderer!
215
00:15:26,917 --> 00:15:27,717
That's...
216
00:15:27,717 --> 00:15:29,037
The prince!
217
00:15:29,037 --> 00:15:31,127
Prince Lumiere!
218
00:15:37,157 --> 00:15:40,067
They used a magic item that I created
219
00:15:40,597 --> 00:15:43,277
to steal the elves' magic...
220
00:15:44,267 --> 00:15:47,687
It was supposed to be used so
that we can all share magic.
221
00:15:47,687 --> 00:15:51,687
Prince... Lady Tetia... What should I...
222
00:15:51,687 --> 00:15:53,687
Is there still something I can do?
223
00:16:07,827 --> 00:16:09,827
My prince!
224
00:16:10,837 --> 00:16:14,707
Our magic item! The one we
made for equality and peace!
225
00:16:21,417 --> 00:16:23,427
I'll use the magic item we created...
226
00:16:24,057 --> 00:16:25,727
and absorb his magic!
227
00:16:33,977 --> 00:16:37,977
As I suspected... It's impossible
for it to absorb all of the magic!
228
00:16:42,147 --> 00:16:43,617
He stopped...
229
00:16:43,617 --> 00:16:45,737
The negative mana seems to be subsiding.
230
00:16:46,317 --> 00:16:47,997
Lumi...ere...
231
00:16:49,757 --> 00:16:51,077
Now's your chance.
232
00:16:51,897 --> 00:16:53,537
Hurry...
233
00:16:54,657 --> 00:16:55,657
Licht...
234
00:16:57,417 --> 00:16:59,837
I... will stop you!
235
00:17:44,837 --> 00:17:47,087
You stopped me from obtaining his body,
236
00:17:47,087 --> 00:17:49,307
but that was still quite
an entertaining show.
237
00:17:49,307 --> 00:17:53,927
I guess I'll just have to take
his grimoire for the time being.
238
00:17:53,927 --> 00:17:55,057
Stop!
239
00:17:55,507 --> 00:17:58,227
I won't let you have Licht's grimoire!
240
00:17:58,757 --> 00:17:59,987
The magic stones...
241
00:18:01,897 --> 00:18:04,657
You witnessed the end
of that elf, didn't you?
242
00:18:04,657 --> 00:18:07,737
If a human like yourself who isn't
loved by mana tried to use those,
243
00:18:07,737 --> 00:18:09,217
you wouldn't be able to keep
244
00:18:09,217 --> 00:18:11,827
your form even if you tried to
perform a puny little spell.
245
00:18:11,827 --> 00:18:16,287
Like I care. I'm going to use the
magic stones to increase my magic.
246
00:18:16,287 --> 00:18:19,917
Sealing Magic: Eternal Prison!
247
00:18:21,797 --> 00:18:23,437
This is...
248
00:18:25,187 --> 00:18:26,927
Confinement magic, eh?
249
00:18:29,477 --> 00:18:32,227
Her seal is a bit vexing,
250
00:18:32,227 --> 00:18:34,747
but I can use reincarnation
with the magic stones.
251
00:18:35,267 --> 00:18:36,727
"Come."
252
00:18:37,347 --> 00:18:38,477
What?
253
00:18:38,897 --> 00:18:43,887
Even more despair and tragedy for
the soul who possesses the four-leaf.
254
00:18:43,887 --> 00:18:46,567
I guess I'll just have to
sow those seeds for him.
255
00:18:46,567 --> 00:18:50,237
Forbidden Magic: Noad Nepesh.
256
00:18:55,167 --> 00:18:59,357
I'll be sure to work slower and
much more carefully next time.
257
00:18:59,357 --> 00:19:02,227
In an era where you two don't exist.
258
00:19:10,187 --> 00:19:11,337
Secré!
259
00:19:11,787 --> 00:19:12,977
Are you all right?
260
00:19:13,497 --> 00:19:14,867
My prince!
261
00:19:14,867 --> 00:19:18,227
So you managed to seal the devil.
262
00:19:18,817 --> 00:19:23,217
But the seal that I put on
the devil will eventually...
263
00:19:24,237 --> 00:19:25,737
Prince!
264
00:19:26,237 --> 00:19:27,867
No...
265
00:19:28,617 --> 00:19:30,307
This is how it should be.
266
00:19:30,907 --> 00:19:34,107
I was able to keep my promise to Licht.
267
00:19:34,697 --> 00:19:35,747
So...
268
00:19:40,837 --> 00:19:44,417
My prince, I'm going to use
the magic stones to seal you.
269
00:19:45,427 --> 00:19:50,107
It probably won't be complete, but it
should be enough to keep you alive.
270
00:19:50,677 --> 00:19:52,677
If the devil's seal is broken,
271
00:19:52,677 --> 00:19:56,077
the peaceful future we sought
will be taken away from us.
272
00:19:56,497 --> 00:20:00,687
Secré, don't. If you use
any more forbidden magic,
273
00:20:00,687 --> 00:20:02,187
you'll lose your humanity.
274
00:20:02,647 --> 00:20:05,997
I cannot let you die here, Your Highness.
275
00:20:05,997 --> 00:20:10,577
As Licht said, you are
our hope for the future.
276
00:20:17,247 --> 00:20:19,327
It was several years later
277
00:20:20,037 --> 00:20:22,627
before I finally woke up.
278
00:20:25,427 --> 00:20:28,967
The prince began his long
slumber in the form of a statue,
279
00:20:29,557 --> 00:20:33,347
and for some reason, I turned into a bird.
280
00:20:34,307 --> 00:20:37,597
I've been spared? But in this form...
281
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:41,357
I'll need the help of the future mages.
282
00:20:42,647 --> 00:20:47,177
But when I woke up, I definitely felt
283
00:20:47,977 --> 00:20:51,947
the existence of a hope that
could stand against that devil.
284
00:20:58,577 --> 00:21:00,077
Here we go again...
285
00:21:08,037 --> 00:21:09,717
There, there...
286
00:21:12,907 --> 00:21:17,017
Are they brothers... or perhaps twins?
287
00:21:17,747 --> 00:21:19,697
No, they're not.
288
00:21:19,697 --> 00:21:24,427
This one is rather calm, but this one...
289
00:21:24,427 --> 00:21:26,817
seems like he has a lot of spunk.
290
00:21:26,817 --> 00:21:30,737
First of all, they don't look a thing alike.
291
00:21:31,217 --> 00:21:33,897
Hm? "Yuno"...
292
00:21:36,347 --> 00:21:38,577
Let's see. And the spunky one over here is—
293
00:21:40,347 --> 00:21:42,797
Hey! You're a bit too spunky...
294
00:21:48,757 --> 00:21:50,627
"Asta," eh?
295
00:21:52,047 --> 00:21:55,677
Right! You two don't need to
worry about a thing anymore.
296
00:21:56,057 --> 00:21:59,347
Starting today, this is your new home...
297
00:22:00,117 --> 00:22:02,617
Asta, Yuno.
298
00:23:36,827 --> 00:23:39,357
Hope that can stand against that devil...
299
00:23:39,357 --> 00:23:41,677
I decided to wager
everything on this wish.
300
00:23:41,677 --> 00:23:47,767
Next time on Black Clover, Page 124:
"Nero Reminisces... Part Two."
301
00:23:42,697 --> 00:23:51,177
Page 124
Nero Reminisces... Part Two
302
00:23:47,767 --> 00:23:50,957
My prince, I will make
your wish come true.
