Black Clover: The Next Page - Ending Theme 1

Artist/Song Name: Slow Swaying by Shugo Nakamura

The ending visuals begins off with Tony Shimura standing all alone in a open field, in the night time. He was looking up at the sky and the wind blows all around him. He had his eyes closed as well. His grimoire can be seen in his left hand as well.


As soon as he opens his eyes, the scene goes into white. 



Away from the place where I was raised
The first scene can be shown with Tony Shimura as a child in his mother's arms and alongside with four people together with her. Two of the four of those people was one of her former teammates and her partner, Roe Ket and Tony's father, Kaito Shimura by her side.
Notably, the two other people were kids had their faces were blocked out by light.
The answers I had put so clumsily
Kaito and Lily can be seen holding hands with Tony, at the age of five in the next scene following the previous one.

Was balled up together and thrown away somewhere


Following this scene, ten years later. The two kids who was with Kaito, leaves the hometown village and Lily and Tony is standing back watching them leave. 


Kaito and the two other kids had waved to them, as Tony can be seen notably balling the both of his hands together and not understanding the situation.
The bustling noises from the city and the street lights

The next shot can be seen with Tony growing up with Nakato Akachi, Sumire Maruyama, and Mai Chiharu. 


They can be seen with Tony and Nakato arguing with each other, but Sumire and Mai in the background drinking orange juice with Mai notably having an annoyed look on her face and Sumire with a happy smile. 
Was just like it was piercing my heart

The next scene can be shown with Nakato, Sumire, and Mai getting their grimoires but Tony. 


Everyone who also had their grimoire had bragged to Tony and laughed at him for not having a grimoire.
I from back then was probably shining,

Tony gets a close-up as he can be seen slightly smiling, being happy for his friends. But, then tears came falling down from his face.


The tears would turn into a drip of water and the reflection of Tony with a smile on his face turns into Tony gritting his teeth in the reflection.


As the chords that I played started dancing


Tony shook his head, as he turns around to try and run away by taking a step back.


But, a multitude of hands, notably Kaito, Lily, Sumire, Mai, and then Nakato, as well as finally, the two people who he saw in his flashback, can be seen pushing him to go forward and Tony's eyes widens, as he would start moving on his own as he was still a kid.
Your voice that called “I want to meet you”

He can be seen running away into the light and grows up in a evolution transition, as he is now finally a teenager and he reaches out to the light as he would run straight into the light.
Are becoming a shooting star that melts to the sky

A past scene can be shown with Lily and Tony as a kid, with Kaito in his final moments and notably his grimoire was fading away slowly. 


Then, Kaito would put his fist onto Tony's forehead and transfers his power onto Tony. 


As this was happening, Sumire, Nakato, and Mai can be seen present at the scene.
I want to fly even higher than now, swaying, swaying

Then, the scene fades out as Kaito Shimura can be seen with a smile on his face and looking back at how grown his son had gotten. 


Lily Shimura, as the two people can be seen with their backs turned standing behind Lily, is seen standing in between of both Kaito and Tony.


He places a hand on Tony's forehead and pats him on the head as he would also hand out his grimoire to Tony.
The sweet nectar tiding that place

Tony was shocked, but he tries not to tear up again and grabs the grimoire from his dad. He smiles, as his father is slowly fading away. 
Were thinning down what I wanted to be

Before Kaito fades away, in a past flashback can be seen with the entire family hugging each other, and then it fades out to seeing Kaito, Lily, and Tony in a hug together.


Then, the two people looks back with smiles on their faces and tears falling down from their faces.

Lily and Tony Shimura is now hugging each other as Kaito had faded away into the light, completely.

The scene fades away, going back into the first scene
As if it was a shackle that prevents me from moving forward

The final scene of the ending visuals goes back to seeing Tony Shimura standing in the open field alone with Lily Shimura, hugging. 


He opens his eyes and he let's go of the hug as he runs. He takes his sword out and jumps in the air to do a sword slash to end the visuals.
