It's time to face Lucius.
Chapters 377-380
This chapter has superb choreography.
>>280270371>its your fault I'm losing right nowThat is all I'm hearing out of this btich.
>>280269908 (OP)Amazing final OP picture, OP.
>>280271117Beautiful, gorgeous Mimosa!

>>280271244Here comes round two
>>280270007Is he ever going to actually do anything at this point?
>>280270371Fucking walmart Aizen trying to pull this shit off.
>>280271456Holy shit just killing people for instant power ups.
>>280271149Sorry, that was already settled. The only one fit to win is Liebe.
>>280271154I wonder if the anime will expand on stuff like these fights, now that we know it's coming back.
>>280270046Uncursed Williem will be casted to Fabio.
>>280271731FUCK YOU, YOU SLIMY GODDAMNED PIECE OF SHIT
Did Lucius made something impressive so far?
Bad translation here. Noelle does say "now" in japanese, but it gets cut. The original intention is "I'm coming to save/help you (right now)", so a better dialogue would be "I'm coming-" or "I'll-..." before getting interrupted.
>>280269908 (OP)nice edit OP!
t. first OP
>>280271959Happy to have you back with us for the end.
>>280271986total new OP love

>>280272423okay so you're gay good to know
>>280272427AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
That's all, anons. Black Clover is one of my favorite current shonens, even if it's far from perfect it has a very rich and flexible power system, amazing teamwork, and great art. I noticed these daily threads near the end of the elf arc, and I wasn't really planning to take over, but the threads were pretty chill and fun so I caved in. In true BC fashion you could say I was inspired by previous OP, (originally I had something different here, wondering if you were still lurking and here you are, what an enter!) thank you for these threads and your personalized covers! And of course, thank (You) all for reading, sticking around, lurking, bumping for those who haven't read yet, and sharing your thoughts!
Our next batch with 3 chapters drops on August 12th, and hopefully we get around 60 pages like with the Nacht chapters. Keep in mind there could be a spoilers thread a day or two before the 12th, see you in a month. Now that we're caught up, it's time to throw around some theories, hopes, copes, worries, and expectations!
I have some questions for you all, but I'll do that in my following post.
Now, Lucius-sama has granted me some of his future sight. Which timeline do you think is most likely to happen?
>Adrammelech or Astaroth betray Lucius when he's about to win and one of them becomes the new villain
>Lucius gets redeemed/Julius takes over him and uses his human-creation spell to bring back everyone who died
>Our heroes win, maybe Lucius' flashback, no weird twists
>Unseen twist
And on another note, let's get the usual outta the way
Favorite character and why?
Favorite arc and/or saga?
Favorite magic attribute and spell?
Sex with whom?
What got you into this manga?
Any line from the manga that lives rent-free in your head?
If you could change something from the story, what would you change?
>>280272469OMG ART!!!!!! LETSE GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
thank you for carrying my bum ass when i dropped out.
can't believe we got the anime back!!!!
SO HAPPY!!!!
>>280271803They separated because of Liebe's hesitation? Was that because they had conflicting ideas in that moment? Does that imply that Asta was willing to cut her?
>>280272469No anon, thank YOU.
and thanks to the previous OP
And last but not least, have this Lucius I made for the OP image. See you around, anons!
I'll be busy now, but I'll come back and reply in a few hours.
>>280272469Thanks OP, I am very glad that I am now caught up to the current BC chapter and will be able to follow along with the final chapters as they release
>>280270046>Lucius clone got beaten by Vanessa and GreyWhat a loser
>>280270371You, soley, are responsible for this.
>thread theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh85GHBe6xY
>>280272427Genuinely didn't see this coming. I wonder what this is all about. Yuno you bastard.
I love this series to death but man I wish Tabata would take some larger risks sometimes. How about having Asta die for real and then have to fight his way back to life through the underworld? Preferably alone, leave Liebe in the land of the living. Have him really be tested, learn devil lore, learning Liebe's lore in depth, and eventually his own lore (since I'm all but certain he's related to devils in some way). Land of the Sun was kind of fun but in all honesty it wasn't what I was looking forward to and feels kind of convoluted to introduce, especially this late.
>>280272427Yuno gets all the power-ups itโs not fair to take Astaโs only niche.
>>280272554Asta does not know how his mom looked as far as I understand, but he would realize how Liebe feels probably and hesitate as well.
We're getting the 10th anniversary drawings together with the next 3 chapters in August. Who are you expecting draws what?

>>280271456Poor Marx you will not be mourned but you will be missed
>>280272427The only time Yuno is actually playing into his spade heritage
>>280272514>Favorite character and why?Rades. His magic is pretty cool using the dead to fight for him and with help, can make stronger ones pieced together like Frankenstein's monster. Its also amusing how petty he can get when things don't go his way and wanting to get revenge. Him bringing himself and his friends back from death too was cool too.
>Favorite arc and/or saga?There are so many good ones, but I think the underwater temple fighting Mr. Despair was the best.
>Favorite magic attribute and spell?Jack's magic really won me over as time went on, seeing as he just focused on cutting and getting better and better at it as he could cut through anything given enough time. Its simple but efficient.
>Sex with whom?Mimosa!
>What got you into this manga?Friend talked about it so I gave it a shot.
>Any line from the manga that lives rent-free in your head?pic related
>If you could change something from the story, what would you change?Maybe a bit more of a breather between spade and the current arc. Maybe the anime might do something there.
Now that is finished
Noelle or Mimosa
>>280273387Mimosa. Both are damn fine, but she is just too sweet to pass up.
>>280273075Asta saw Liebeโs memories when they combined the first time. And Asta accepted that Liebeโs human mother was also his mother.
>>280272514>Favorite character and why?Magna and Noelle
>Favorite arc and/or saga?Spade kingdom invasion
>Favorite magic attribute and spell?Spatial magic, i love those switcheroo powers
>Sex with whom?Charmy
>What got you into this manga?This thread
>Any line from the manga that lives rent-free in your head?All the surpass your limits line specialy the lucifero fight
>If you could change something from the story, what would you change?A lot
>>280272514I don't think they'll extend the fight even more, so the betrayal angle is out of the gate IMO.
I think we're going with an unseen twist or HEROES WIN, probably some mixture of both since this is a very straight shounen.
>Favorite character and why?Hard to say but of course I like Noelle and Asta a lot, they're given a lot of room and leeway to grow. Yuno never really did it for me but when he gets more fired up, I can still like him a bit. Outside of that main cast, Magna and Zora are total bros and I love the Cap.
>Favorite arcThe elf saga was the most comprehensively good. But for arc I think I enjoyed the initial Spade arc more than the individual parts of the former until the ending invasion.
>Favorite magic attributeDark magic, it's cool as fuck but I also like how simple it is. You can do a lot with it if you're good and inventive, but it's also not broken. Dimension slash equinox probably.
>Sex with whomDorothy, she's very cute and I like her personality.
>What got you into this mangaI actually shat on it way back on /a/ when the anime rolled out because Asta's voice actor was annoying, but after giving it a shot out of boredom I got until the fight with Licht (Patri) and it clicked.
>Any line from the manga that lives rent-free in your head?"I'm not done yet!"
>If you could change something from the storyMost of my complaints with most shounen are honestly to do with either pacing or time allocation. For the latter part of the manga I think it goes too fast for its own good sometimes and needs to build more. Lucius is a good example, I think he'd be a more effective villain if we spent at least two chapters on just setting him up for example.
Yuno could be made a little more relatable, he might be powerful, but he's still Asta's peasant bro. I think giving him spotlight chapters to make us feel his (few, but tangible) struggles would make him much more popular.
Alas, I think it's an issue with the manga not having unlimited time to run.
>>280273387Noelle obviously
>>280273449Oh yeah, I forgot that. But I do think Asta's probably hesitating as well a little. Issue is that even though they'd be combined, I think Asta's pure emotional attachment would still be less than that of Liebe.
Now that it is finished i got say that while i enjoyed reading with you guy i cant say that BC is a good manga if someone ask to recomend i would say to read One Piece, Naruto, Haikyuu, HxH and many others before starting this which i still think is a "must" read which is something i cant say about Fairy Tail, MHA or others for some goods of the series
>Love how Tabata use the shounen tropes and changes them Women are useful, the underdog win this timem the high level fighters are useful
>The team fights are amazing
>Asta works really well as a plot device about how influences people around him being it by shame, love, envy, friendship and a lot of different feelings that normaly dont happen in shounen
>Zagred is a great and unique villain
>The classist fight gives a lot of thought shame it was dropped
Those are what i liked the most, for the bad lets leave it like this for now
>>280272769That would be too much Kino Shonen Jump would have to kill Tabata to not outshine Oda.
>>280273821That's fair.
Honestly I often find people who talk about shonen too caught up on the stuff they dislike, so even though there are things I don't like with my favorite shounen (in this case I guess Hokuto, BC and a few others) I never really go for the angle that an element in it is total shit that ruins the entire thing. It's like saying I didn't enjoy something I clearly enjoyed, in a sense.
BC has a lot of elements I would say are middling or not used effectively but it still has an interesting enough package to make it a fun read in my opinion and ultimately that fun is the end package, which is what any author should be aiming for IMO.
>>280272889>Yuno gets all the power-upsNigga what?
>5 leaf grimoire/Demon slayer sword>Demon Dweller sword>Anti-Magic flow/Black Form >Demon Destroyer sowrd>Black Divider>Berserk Asta>Devil Arm Asta>Devil Union Asta>True Devil Union Asta>Partial Devil Union>ZettenYOU ARE HERE
>Anti-Matter GOD Asta
>>280274186Yeah Asta gets plenty of powerups, the only real difference is that he either works hard for them or earns them by getting to know people, like befriending Liebe for example.
Yuno's way of getting powerups is very much more in line with the regular power system, but he also just has way more fortunate circumstances.
>>280273387Noelle, of course.
>>280274186Now watch as Yuno gets to do all of Astaโs moves except better.
>>280274311Makes sense, it's the whole point of his character compared with Asta.
Can we all agree that Lucius is completely underwhelming?
>>280272514What i would like:
>Leopold, mars, Langris and the Dwarf King come in clutch, Dwarves fix the Imperial Sword (saw it on some unfinished fanart, neat idea)>Adramelech/Astaroth betray Lucius BUT Lucius foresaw it and now we have a 3 way war.>Zogratis - - Rebelled Devils - - Humans/Dwarves/Elves >Conrad comes back thanks to the Imperial Sword, short fight with Lucius Maybe>Nobody comes back from the dead and if so, Julius has to kill himself for real and not revive.>Rill's masterpiece is the Bifrost, Clovergang goes to another planet and destroy it in an all out war, Black Clover finally outscales planetaryWhat will [SADLY] Happen:
>Adrammelech or Astaroth betray Lucius when he's about to win and one of them becomes the new villain>Lucius gets redeemed/Julius takes over him and uses his human-creation spell to bring back everyone who died>Our heroes win, maybe Lucius' flashback, no weird twists
>>280274311His whole thing is being "blessed by mana". Dude's basically canonically Jesus.
>>280274735>What will [SADLY] Happen:Fuck, that probably will happen. The Jump formula kills me sometimes. They have all these interesting worlds/concepts and do next to fuckall with it.
I seriously doubt Tabata will pull a Kaguya and replace Lucius as the main baddie so late in the story. I picture Julius waking up and rebel against him and perhaps Adrammelech betraying him, but not being replaced as the big bad. At this point he's the best option for a final boss.
>>280274908I see it happening but not happening,
Like the same trope but with a twist, he will rile up fans and haters and dip for 3 months.
Like what he did with Ichika/Yami backstory being a Sasuke/Itachi rip off until it wasn't (but too late, people already ran with the fake info for weeks)
I see Adramelech betraying Lucius or Astaroth waking up, but the Tabataโข twist won't be enough to stop the hate.
Something neat would be Adramelech revealing to just be a chill devil at Liebe's service, like imagine Adramelech kneeling to fully awaken Liebe/Astaroth (Please Tabata, Make Liebe Astaroth, not Asta)

>>280269908 (OP)Well, I knew this day would come when I learned Black Clover isn't finished yet, but here we are. The final day of the daily chapters. We're likely close to ending since only Lucius is left, but we'll see. Let's go.
>>280269931Beautiful cover btw.
>>280269969>>280270007This nigga has literally doing jackshit through the entire arc. I wonder if the author will do something interesting with him or if he's just a plot device made so Lucius could get part of Lucifero's power.
>>280270046>>280270083Those clones were worthless at the end.
>>280270163Bell's new form is really hot. Sexy fairies are always welcomed.
>>280270204Yuno accepting Charmy's food is so cute.
>>280270238It's here, the fight against the final boss.
>>280270371What a piece of shit.
>>280270416>>280270456Based Yuno, man. Said what everyone thinks about that shithead.
>>280270530He's in a bathrobe now lol.
>>280270566Asta + Yuno duo fights never disappoint. Hope they wreck Lucius.
>>280270596>>280270627Oh yeah, the strongest spell known: punch.
>>280270662What is Lucius using here to block Yuno's attack?
>>280270692>>280270731Ah, nvm, he used bones for that. He can use the magic of his siblings to attack now.
>>280270835>>280270868Really like the contrast between the powers of Asta and Yuno.
>>280270901>>280270930>>280270962That's the power of shonen friendship for you, Lucius!
>>280271092Yeah, as kino this fight was there's no way they beat Lucius so easily.
>>280271117Liebe is about to be crushed by two MASSIVE, round objects...
Fuegoleon resting with Salamander is cute.
>>280271154Fucking jobber clones.
>>280272469Thanks op its been a real pleasure rereading this. Still one of my favs.
>>280273387Trick question
Both
>>280271184>>280271214Yeah, it looked way too easy to be true.
>>280271244I don't really like this form, it looks ugly.
>>280271275Not vibing with the "it was a clone all along" shit. Once it's fine, twice feels already too much.
>>280271306>>280271332Nice grimoire lore. Better late than never. Makes me think if the old wizard guarding the tower where Yuno and Asta got their grimoires is aware of the true nature of the towers...
>>280271361Lol, forgot about these two completely. Wonder why they weren't brought to the Spade arc. And now I realize Rades and the others haven't appeared in this arc so far too.
>>280271422>>280271456Revchi and Guldre really appeared after a lot of chapters just to be killed like that.
Also feel so sorry for Marx, murdered like that by a man with the face of Julius, he didn't deserve that. I think nothing good has truly happened to him in the whole manga.
>>280271482CHADlecdora still going strong, Lucius is DOOMED.
>>280271617Lucius is such an Aizen copy he even has his own Hogyoku kek.
>>280271655At least he'll give Asta magic lmao.
>>280271731No fucking way. That's beyond dirty.
>>280271763So did Lucius had a hand in Licita's death?
>>280271803>>280271840Poor Liebe man. He didn't deserve that. You can see how hurt he is, he just couldn't dare to hurt his mom. He deserves a hug.
>>280271911Poor Noelle, technically this is the first time she sees Asta ever since the conference, right? She didn't even have time to greet him unlike the other Black Bulls.
Also lol Yami with the Shirou Emiya dialogue.
>>280271941Uh, uh, things are getting ugly...
>>280271959Nice to see you again, first OP! Hope you're doing wel!
>>280271981Having so many mixed feelings about this. In one hand, those new forms are very cool, I dig the biblical angel appearance (Morgen in particular reminds me of Lille Barro's owl form in Bleach), but this also makes the previous fights completely pointless, and that's a great shame considering the emotional aspects of them was the best thing of these Paladin battles. Furthermore, giving the writing patterns of the author, I have the feeling these fights against those super Paladins may be off-camera.
>>280272010>>280272042Tabata, if you value your fans... Please, don't let Lucius have a redemption like you did with Patry, nor have some shit like Asta saying he understands him or the like. That piece of garbage doesn't deserves anything good, he's just a megalomaniac and control freak who wants to stand above others and have ruined the lives of many to get what he wants. He doesn't deserves redemption, or understanding or anything good. I hope he gets a painful, humilliating ending. Please, I know Black Clover is an idealistic story, but there are limits to what someone can do before they become completely irredeemable. If the Dark Triad got rightfully punished for their crimes Lucius cannot be an exception. Please...
>>280272111You can tell Yuno is not gonna let Lucius hurt his bro. Not on his watch.
>>280277993You'll probably end up with Lucius eating dirt, not with a redemption but with some empathy for how he thinks, and then Julius coming back.
>>280272188Black Bulls are true homies, they have absolute faith in Asta.
>>280272219My man Sekke is still up! I'm so happy even in such a dire situation he's not giving up!
>>280277993Why would Lucius be redeemed? With Patry you can give some excuses like how he was manipulated while Lucius is a complete asshole(except for the wheelchair thing maybe)
>>280278055>>280278133Yeah, he shouldn't be redeemed, but with this manga you never now, since Asta is always like he wants to understand his enemies and that shit. Honestly I don't even want anyone to feel empathy for him, he deserves to be treated as badly as his little siblings.
>>280272335>>280272367Oh, is Asta going to give Yuno "that"?!
raoh
md5: 462765d7127037e8d69bfc1dcc5b003f
๐
>>280278270Honestly I want Asta to understand Lucius, even if he has to kill him. It worked for Kenshiro and his villains.
>>280272427Absolute kino, and makes a lot of sense given the whole comrademons explanation. However, it's obvious that Yuno is only there to win time while Asta recovers. I doubt he'll defeat Lucius, and given he's now alone against the ultimate wizard king or whatever he's called, I'm fearing for him. Black Clover doesn't usually kill characters, but in this arc Jack, Marx, Revchi and Gueldre are already dead, I can see Tabata killing another character to turn the situation even worse, and Yuno is looking like a good candidate for that... Either way, I don't think this will end with Yuno as the Wizard King independently if he lives or not.
>>280272462Fuck you, Morris, no one loves you, go back to suck Lucius's cock.
>>280272469You drew that Liebe, OP? That is crazy. It looks so well done and cute! I always heard things about Black Clover, but was too lazy to start it on my own. However, discovering these threads gave me the impulse I needed and I honestly fell in love with the manga. Itโs a simple shonen, but the action, world, characters and fights are very engaging and fun, even this last Lucius arc that I heard wasnโt very good by others is managing to be enjoyable. Honestly the most entertaining shonen I saw in a while, especially since I was never too much into the super duper popular ones like JJK. I kinda miss not getting on the BC train sooner. Had a lot of fun with these threads as a new fan, and while Iโm gonna miss them Iโll be ready for the next chapters in august, hopefully they will be awesome. I think Iโm gonna watch the anime too while waiting for next month's release.
Thanks to both you and the first OP. You both deserve Heaven for your great job. Cannot thank you enough for this.
Did Yuno and Asta fought one against other yet?
t. ocasional reader
>>280272514>Favorite character and why?Too many to list them all. Among the main characters Yami and Noelle are my absolute favs, Yami is charismatic and funny, the kind of character that always steals the show. Noelle is a great heroine with great development and an excellent character arc. One of the best shonen heroines imo.
Regarding the supporting cast, I would say my favs are Finral, Zora, Mars, Sisgoleon, Jack, Fuegoleon, Nozel and of course, Sekke.
Favorite villains would be Zenon and Megicula.
>Favorite arc and/or saga?Top 5 would be:
1. Elf reincarnation arc
2. Spade kingdom raid arc
3. Dark Triad arc
4. Underwater temple arc
5. Tournament arc
>Favorite magic attribute and spell?Favorite magic attributes are spatial, shadow, darkness and gravity.
Favorite spell is Noelle's Valkyrie Dress.
>Sex with whom?Noelle and her royal ass.
>What got you into this manga?As I stated above, these threads.
>Any line from the manga that lives rent-free in your head?Anything related with surpassing your limits, it's like the signature line of the show. Fuego's line about that being weak not being bad, but remaining weak is it's also iconic.
>If you could change something from the story, what would you change?Don't neglect the Diamond Kingdom that much. Mars deserved better, he needed his own arc with Morris as the main villain, instead of disappearing from the manga with no one caring about him.
I think a Megicula arc could have been good as well, while her fight was my favorite one I would have liked to see more of her and her influence in the human world.
>>280279632In the novelization of the movie
(Or the moviezation of the SOTWK novel)
>>280279741About the future of the manga, I don't know. There may be some twist going on, and Adrammelech def looks like the kind of character who would betray his supposed boss (he betrayed Lucifero after all), but I think Lucius will still be the final enemy to beat because Asta becoming the Wizard King after defeating the previous one makes a lot of sense, and even this arc is named the ultimate wizard king too, so I think we'll be stuck with Lucius till the end. I just hope we get a satisfying conclusion.
>>280272588Awesome, anon, it looks amazing.
Thank you again for everything. See you in august.
>>280270204>Magic recovery! Excellent!Fucking lol
>>280272469Thank you OP, and the previous OP as well! These threads have reinvigorated my love for Black Clover after I first got into it five years ago. Yeah it might not be perfect, but it's still awesome. And it has the best written shonen heroine bar none. Look forward to seeing you in a month!
>>280272514>Favorite characterTie between Yami and Mereoleona, both steal the show when they show up
>Favorite ArcSpade Kingdom in general
>Magic Attribute and SpellShadow magic really has some of the best looking stuff , however as a single spell Sea Dragon's Roar is simply the best
>Sex withYami and Vetto(non-elf)
>What got you into the mangaWas loking at a OPT and saw the Bull Hideout vs Giant Salamander spread and felt like reading then
>Rent-Free LineBeing weak is nothing to be ashamed of, staying weak is
>ChangeInstead of Nipponland Asta goes to the Diamond Kingdom, he learns stuff from dwarves there
>>280281478Based Lucifero lol
>>280272010>>280272042this is genuinely disturbing. they're so warped and twisted they hardly resemble the people they're supposed to be revived from
I wonder how Noelle and her family will react to seeing their mother like that
>>280271731>Internet Magic: Counterspell - Your mom
The effects on the Promo Image and the teaser are fucking insane.
Whoever saw the BC movie Blu Ray intro can attest to Pierrot's new FX team
They flex like no one before
Itโs gonna be so nice getting to talk in the anime discussion threads when they come out with all of you bros. Whose ready for more Black Clover kino?
Also, has anyone considered doing a watch party of the movie to end off the dailies?
>>280282959>fights are actually gonna have good animation this timemy body is ready
>>280270499Whatโs everyoneโs thoughts on the Dark Triad getting revived? Plausible or are they just going to act as Onee-Chans magic batteries for the rest of the story?
>>280272469I love you OP, you reignited my love for this series
>>280281478>Yami and Vetto(non-elf)Gay or woman?
>>280283635Gay, women want Nacht and Yuno
>>280270989Was there ever a definite visual indicator for Zetten? Is it supposed to be Astaโs eye flashing?
>>280271154Whose the person stabbing that sword into Lucius?
>>280271244Didnโt Lucius give his grimoire a cover when he first manifested? Why is it back to the way it was before?
>>280271332Anyone ever able to list all the Magic Attributes Lucius is using in this page? Iโm seeing

Is Black Clover sloppest manga ever
>>280273155>- Akutami Gege (Jujutsu Kaisen)Probably someone weird like tongue-kun, or a devil.
>- Kubo Tite (Bleach)I hope he draws a girl, but Jack seems like around his alley (Nnoitora)
>- Shinohara Kenta (WITCH WATCH)Yuno or Noelle
>- Matsui Yuusei (Assassination Classroom)Shotachrono
>- Murata Yuusuke (One Punch Man)Yami or Mereoleona
I expect everyone else to draw Asta alone, Asta+Yuno, or Asta with a member of the black bulls.
>>280283939Someone is absolutely gonna do vanessa or noelle, maybe a mimosa
>>280274735>Leopold, mars, Langris and the Dwarf King come in clutch, Dwarves fix the Imperial Sword (saw it on some unfinished fanart, neat idea)I do think though, that it's weird that characters like Leopold, Langris and Kirsch are oddly missing from the usual crowd reaction. Specially Leo, who should've been present or commented something when the other crimson lions sacrificed themselves. Langris has been very prominent too, so I really wonder if Tabata is planning something here. The only thing against this is that, if these characters were about to do something grand, then by all means Lucius should've already taken measures to mess with them, so I don't know what to think.
>>280276970Makes me wonder if the devils actually resent the gods, and want to toy with humans out of spite.
The Black Clover anime is back!
>>280277993While not impossible, at least Asta has shown that he has no desire to spare Lucius. He'll probably ask him to give Julius back or something.
>>280283656>Is it supposed to be Astaโs eye flashing?Yeah, it's like a small thunder, sometimes it blends with the characters because of lack of color but it's there everytime someone uses it.
>>280283708William, FORMA DE PATRY, free of his curse thanks to Gordon.
>>280283303Unless he gets desperate for more bodies to throw into the grinder, I think he prefers them as batteries.
This isn't ending anytime soon.
Purple orca captain was killed but his power wasn't used.
Marx power can be used to memory fuck yuno most likely which leads to an asta confrontation vs controlled yuno and lucius.
>>280286218Anon Tabata just said he plans to keep the hype going.
I can now see Black Clover ending in 2028 and lasting 2 years more.
The "Jump GIGA" brand now appears even in the teaser for the anime.
My guess is Tabata wanted to get more involved with the anime like Kubo, and also have a more lax schedule, GIGA editors also wanted another reason for people to buy the Magazine, it was the perfect deal for both.
Even if Jump decides it's time to end GIGA or to end BC's space there, i think Tabata will continue publishing on a website or jump to another magazine.

Wow, Crunchyroll has 200k views but the two Japanese channels have 1k views each on their black clover videos. Black clover really is much more popular in the west. Not that this is a problem for me, I could care less about fandoms and IRL stuff but that does explain why it's hard to find merch of BC even at the jump stores in Japan. I hope when the 2nd season airs I can find some gachapon machines in random Subway stations though. I'll finally have an excuse to play those.
>>280286404I was just rough translating this, kek. My phrasing seems a bit off, guess I still need more land of the sun reps.
>>280286404He even said it with madamada xD
>>280283303Not that unlikely but I wouldn't count on it.
>>280271117Look at those twins
>>280277313Who do you think his father is?
>>280284137I really hope we get all three
>>280286426It's a shame there's not that many official figures, we just recently got a nendoroid Asta but I feel that should've been made ages ago. I need a Mimosa...
>>280286426Yeah i mean, my big realization was when i tried to buy Black Clover figurines and found nothing.
You either get the same Asta/Yuno shitty crunchyroll figurines from like 2017 or you get one of those Pro Figures from small Western producers at like $2500, perfect craftsmanship but prices and availability is insane.
You go to Aliexpress to look for middle ground or bootleg figurines and you find NOTHING.
Only shitty acrylics.
Black Clover is arguably as big (if not bigger) than Re:Zero and One Punch Man, yet you can't find even a simple coombait Noelle figurine, yet you find like 10 different ones for Tatsumaki and Emilia/Rem.
I guess BC not being that popular with Chinks and Japs really stops BAMCO from developing figurines, it's crazy we don't even have Noelle or Mimosa RELAX Time, one of their cheapest brands.
>>280286762LOL anon you were thinking the same as me
>>280286777
>>280273821Pretty much my opinion. The power scaling personal really pissed me off, Zagred should've been the upper limit.
The constant undermining Asta gets about not having magic is annoying since his powers are way more broken.
Despite the decrease in popularity, if BC returns to WSJ, it'll be top 3 in sales right now.
>>280287448>Zagred should've been the upper limitWhy would a High ranking devil with almost no name be the upper limit?
Zagred showed a dark dimension full of beings ready to enslave and torment humans just for the fuck of it.
I agree i don't like Lucifero getting powercliffed, but it's not that crazy, Lucius and the paladins have several magic powers and double mana batteries into them.
I still think Lucifero is the verse's top and i say that with a straight face.
>>280287448>The constant undermining Asta gets about not having magic is annoying since his powers are way more broken.Asta hasn't been undermined in over 100 chapters.
Anti-Magic is nothing that crazy, it's the Swords, Asta's training and the meddling of the Witch Queen what made Anti-Magic broken.
Polished spells from mages with big mana reserves like Yuno and Noelle can also get the properties of Anti-Magic, Noelle's water was atomizing her siblings in her last fight, Yuno sliced a Rock dude by making his Wind Sword spin at a molecular level, Yami's Dark Magic is almost anti-magic, same as Jack slashing magic.
>>280287758Because storytelling wise Zagred fit way too good, it took hundreds of years of planning from him and Secre for the Elf arc. The first wizard king, Licht both got resurrected to fight him and he could create stuff from just words.
Lucifero would be fine as an antagonist to Live but I don't like Zagred being powerscaled this much.
Anti-Magic is that crazy though, it's ridiculously broken
>>280277502nice to see you too!

>>280287865>Anti-Magic is that crazy though, it's ridiculously brokenNow? yes
Before, no, it wasn't.
It's been a steady progression for Asta, if you wanted him to be an underdog forever that's a you problem.
I think the progression of Asta and his anti-magic has been well paced, even now Tabata still finds ways to break through Anti-magic.
>>280287980>if you wanted him to be an underdog forever that's a you problem.I don't, I just don't like it that the story seems to think that he is. Asta got a very broken power but people keep talking like his powers suck when anyone with even any brainpower would be able to say that Anti-Magic in a world where everyone uses Magic for everything is extremely broken.
This isn't really a major issue, Asta's growth is fine to me really. I do hate Yuno's growth.
I still wonder what was the deal with this guy. It's one thing not showing up, but Tabata deliberately had him standing behind Morris. I can only think he's a designated enemy for an anime filler in the gap between the spade arc and the current arc, if not, how could he play a role now?
>>280270371This is not the story for it, but one of these days I really want a villain to pull this clumsy gaslighting and it actually works. The hero is like
>Y'know what? Maybe it IS my fault for resisting. You can go ahead and kill me now.
>>280271911>so a better dialogue would be "I'm coming-"lmao
>>280289119Why even reply?
>>280282959Asta's Devil Union looks great here.
>>280283303At this point they got too power crept to do anything meaningful in the story.
>>280288089Maybe early on, but in the later arcs anti-magic is treated with the importance it deserves.
>>280287614Not a hard thing to do tbf. Current Jump is pitiful.
There's a new season of this coming out?
What the fuck took them so long?
>>2802912382 factor I believe
Interest for the series was waning since there was a 6 months hiatus and then constant with health issues really dampened the hype of the final arc and the series as a whole
I also think its has something to do with scheduling since pierrot is also doing the TYBW for bleach and alot more effort was put into it so BC was put on the back burner.
Though anyone with anything concrete could corrected me on it.
>>280291238Because the anime was catching up with the manga.
>>280291238the manga wasn't about to finish + it had some long hiatuses because tabata wanted to take care of his family and other things
also pierrot were busy with bleach evidently
>>280272469Arigato, OP.
This has been a really fun storytime.
Really made me appreciate BC when I overlooked it before.
>>280291030yeah in current jump i think it is only behing OP(HxH and SxF if those counts)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln_imebEmAQ
>>280291238"Season 1" was 170 episodes
>>280291238They were busy with Bleach. Only next year will they end it.
>>280272469Thank you for the storytime, OP.
>>280297807Ironic they never fight at any point.
Does the trailer spoil anything or can I enjoy it without any?
>>280291238Manga took a lot of time off to care for his sick wife and house husband. Many of the chapters were written by her bedside. They also have a daughter that he had to care for himself
>>280301383The trailer consists of mainly clips of the previous anime, but the main key visual shown at the end reveals Asta's main power up for this new arc, so watch it completely at your own risk.
>>280295361Yeah, it's pretty much keeping itself alive with the veterans, once One Piece ends the Jump is cooked.
>>280305951Miss her so much.
>>280307162She is still around, helping her big brother.
>>280309100Yeah, as a meat puppet, sadly.
>>280309100hope she is redeemed and turn into a Noelle rival buddy
Thanks to the anime announcement we have some new art here and there, it's pretty nice.
>>280272469>>280272588Thank you for everything!
>>280311079Yeah, and more will come when the anime airs.
>>280311079lots of dormant fans coming back to life
I'm really hoping they sell a lineup of figures this time and not just the 1 or 2 asta/yuno like the original run
>>280314567I would love a Valkyrie Dress Noelle figure.
>>280272469rereading this was great because it let me see the plot threads woven through from early on. Thanks again, OP.
I first had a terrible introduction to BC from a friend of mine who was watching Toonami, and got annoyed with Asta and his 'I win' button...but his opinion changed as the black bulls got introduced. My first episode to watch was Yami vs 'licht', and then the episode where Asta refused to give up when he found out his arms were permanently fucked. I went back and rewatched the series, being FULLY sold as it being one of my favourite Shonen during the Vetto fight, and I switched over to the manga during the elf arc.
I'm not a fan of the current arc, as I usually feel resurrections are a cheap way to earn drama(it's what made me stop liking naruto too)...but the art continues to be stellar, and I still like Yuno. I don't think Yuno's going to win the day, but I'm excited to see where things go.
>>280272514>Favourite charactertossup between Finral and Noelle. I usually don't like womanizers OR tsuns, but Finral had a FANTASTIC growth arc across the series, and Noelle has a vulnerability and justification for her prickly exterior. I've said it while anon in the thread, but Noelle is absolutely my favourite shonen girl.
>Favourite arcAsta forming the devil union with Liebe. I loved how early on, his devil wasn't the malevolent force other dark alters in shonen were, so seeing his backstory, as well as the fantastic culmination of asta's training, got me incredibly hype.
>Favourite magic attribute and spellI'm always a sucker for protective magic, either mercury magic, bronze magic, steel magic, or diamond magic.
As for spell, Finral's mass teleport spell.
>Sex with whom>What got you into this mangasee
>>280315708>Any line from the manga that lives rent-free in your head?This one
>>280273317>If you could change something from the story, what would you change?set up lucius earlier or at least make it clearer that someone is manipulating things.
Iโm at the part where Astaโs in Yamiโs homeland. I really hate the fact that Asta and Yuno didnโt get the same rank. I was already pissed that Yuno was promoted to vice captain while Asta was still a junior. I know the reason obviously, the whole scapegoat thing and then later the trial being delayed, but it feels like Tabataโs obsessed with keeping Asta an underdog and it just makes me hate Yuno, and William and the elves too for causing the whole thing and getting off free.
Something I also hate is the lack of cool attacks Asta has in comparison to Yuno. Yuno has all these badass wind spells and then gets MORE spells with star magic, and all Asta has is like 4 swords, that ranged attack he does, and his devil form.
>>280316532Asta has no magic, so he cannot have spells to begin with. All his Anti-Magic techniques are related with extending the range pf the Anti-Magic.
>>280316532Im more autistic, im mad at the constant Katana and Jap shilling.
And i think the Shogun (Ryu) destroys Asta's purpose.
"Oh BTW, theres already someone who made it to Wizard King (shogun) without Magic but with a broken ability, and hes a super good guy and super cool and selfless, hes Asta but Japanese, aint that SUPERU COORU?!!!"
>>280316717He has Lichtโs book and the first two swords seemed to pop out on their own. Canโt he make anti magic versions of those spells?
>>280317110only the first sword was in the book. The second was found in the dungeon they fought mars.
>>280316791>im mad at the constant Katana and Jap shilling.Maybe you just dislike japan in general. Story-wise the characters from the land of the sun never claimed their techniques or culture were better or cooler than clover's, and only three of the ryuzen seven used katanas. Asta was in awe at how different things were, but that's him everywhere he goes, I mean he even enjoyed the Agrippa family's food.
MY WIZARD KING.
Hope to see him again but fighting alonside Asta this time.
>>280272469Thanks OP, we are so back
>>280315708Based yunochad!
I had the same thing as your friend I watched the anime to make fun of it and here I am following it now with love 10 years later.
>>280322466Okay not 10 but I read a bit of the manga 10 years ago so
>>280322481I remember him showing me the first sekke fight, and I thought 'wow, that's fucking stupid'.
And here we are.
any chance of actual h doujins thanks to the new season?
>>280322174i miss seeing this artist
>>280318537Built for big foreigner bull cock.
>>280316791Ryu is just a plot device at the end of the day. No reason to be mad with him.
>>280324010You WILL like the Yami doujin and you WILL be content with that.
>>280324010Don't get your hopes up.
>>280325453Nta buy that's why I dislike him, and to a lesser degree that entire arc.
>>280272469I kneel OP. Thank you.
>>280270692That's just AFO
>>280272427This is really surprising considering that Yuno is not only relatively unpopular, but got all the spotlight for a long while and more screen time than Asta, the main character, who's way more popular.
Maybe Tabata is planning to kill him? It would be great honestly
>>280274186Wanna see a list of powers Yuno got exclusively starting from the Spade saga?
>Full spirit dice >Spirit of Boreas >Spirit of Euros>Bell collecting mana during spirit dive>Star magic>Conjutition >Scutum>Quartile >Flagellum>Saint stage >Somehow his stars having the intrinsic property of repelling Lucifero's gravity >Neverland >Spirit of notos >Anti magic and demon dweller (that he can wield for "reasons") form Asta Yuno is a joke shit character who needs constant wanking because Tabata and his editor got too attached to him for some weird reason
>>280274186>>280329659Fuck I forgot
>Blessed by manaWhich brings the total amount of power-ups Yuno got since the Spade saga to 15, I don't think Asta and Noelle combined got as many even counting from the start of the series
>>280329300Fire Force and Black Clover share so many broad and minuscule details that I wouldn't be surprised if You no dies like Arthur
(And then revives, kek)
What's the consesus in Julius?
>>280328989Kimimaro from Naruto did that before and I'm sure that plenty of more characters did it too
A lot of time has passed...
>>280331244He is fun but a complete useless character specialy compared to the captains
>>280331244He was always popular as far as I remember.
>>280320365He's likely not canon. Well, the events of the movie likely aren't.
>>280334092>yfw Asta cummed inside you 5 times in a row
>>280334092I want to squish her puffy cheeks.
>>280329300Popularity =/=screentime
Besides, Yuno is not that unpopular.
>>280286426BC is still bringing in cash for TV Tokyo so japs are watching.
This is just one of those series which has a non existent vocal fanbase in jp.
>>280330048blessed by mana has been a thing since the start of the series, and it's because of the elf fetus in him. The elves were ALL blessed by mana.
>>280329300>but got all the spotlight for a long while and more screen time than AstaBased White Clover reader.
>>280329659I think Yuno's powerups would be more palatable if he was more prominent and was actually with Asta more often.
But as it stands, it really seems like he only shows up to get a powerup a lot of times.
>>280342311Yeah, as a temporary power-up, not as a permanent space magic defying asspull
>>280347193that's...not what that is. What?
>>280337586You don't find it kind weird that Yuno got more screen time than the MC himself (who is also way more popular than him)?
Yuno is relatively unpopular considering his screen time and amount of promotion. He never managed to reach the usual position in popularity of battle shonen rivals (2nd/1st)
>>280347358Yuno never got more screentime than Asta.
>>280347209? The elf soul was supposed to leave his body, but remained for "reasons" and being blessed by mana somehow overrode Zenon's spatial spell (asspull). It's not even the worst one Tabata pulled anyway
>>280347376In the current fight he did
>>280347534Then it's only in one fight then. And one where Yuno isn't even going to win too.
>>280347587And that's the point? It's weird something like this is happening
>>280347643Not really. The manga is about to end, this is Yuno's last big battle before the ending, just that.
>>280347707Let's see if I can make myself clear: it's quite weird Yuno has had more screen time and better performance in this last battle than the Main Character himself. It never happened before, usually him and Asta are equally fighting the big bad.
Given that making Asta return and fight together with Yuno till Lucius is defeated would result in Yuno having overall more screen time than the MC, it's not likely it will happen. So, it's intriguing to think what Tabata might have planned, especially with an highly hyped final villain that still didn't do much of anything truly threating and especially in a series that lacks any serious death (Jack really doesn't count since nobody cared about him)
Is that clear?
>>280348104It's clear that is a you problem. Asta is gonna beat Lucius, this is simply Yuno's last battle in the series to give him something cool before the manga ends. Just that.
>>280348224Ok, so you either think:
- Yuno is gonna get defeated for good before or shortly after Asta rejoins the battle, which would be quite weird considering how all the previous battle unfolded
- Yuno will have overall more screen time and better pe performance than Asta against Lucius, which will also be quite weird
A third option, one you didn't seem to consider, that is more realistic is something similar to what happened with Lucifero happening here again: Asta gets defeated, Yuno takes over, Asta joins the battle again, Yuno gets defeated, Yuno joins again and he and Asta deliver the final blow. Quite the boring scenario I think and not that feasible with the supposedly remaining length of the story
>>280348425Options 1 and 3 are the most likely to happen to me.
>>280348946NTA, but I think it would be pretty cool if Yuno died. Lucius sucks ass and Yuno got so too many bllshit asspulls, killing him would solve a lot of issues, including the Disney Clover accusations. Plus it's not like it would be a huge loss for fans if Yami and Noelle are alive and well
>>280349095I donโt care about Yuno, but you sound like such an obnoxious faggot now I hope he lives.
>>280348946Tabata has been copying and mixing parts of the last two sagas with a dash of Naruto for this final arc, so yeah, option 3 is the most likely even if it would be incredibly boring
>>280349348Nah, it would be kino.
>>280349284Look, all I care about is Lucius not ending up like another Lucifero and Yuno is the perfect shit character to make it happen. Black Clover needs a big death.
I'm not a fag btw, but even if I was I wouldn't be into you, even if I know you have more dicksucking experience that all pornstars in the world combined
>>280349095Yuno will not die, he and Asta have their vow to fulfill and I have a hard time believing Tabata isn't gonna push that until the end. His death can't even trigger another true devil union for Asta because Liebe has no attachment to him. If the intention at some point was to kill him to develop Asta in a certain way, then it should've happened way earlier, not now.
>>280349630>His death can't even trigger another true devil union for Asta because Liebe has no attachment to himBut Asta does and I don't see why it couldn't start from him this time
>>280349630>>280349732Plus Yuno has been wanked to the point Asta being seen as a potential wizard king instead is completely unbelievable
>>280333222It doesn't conflict with the actual main timeline
>>280329659>Anti magic and demon dweller (that he can wield for "reasons") form AstaLet's be real here, it works exactly like the same anti-magic buff that the Black Bulls received.
>>280316532Whenever I go on TikTok I always see random vids of people complaining about how Yuno keeps getting power ups on power ups while Asta mostly rots
>>280355939There are 0 mentions of the events of the movie in the manga tho.
>>280357542yes but tabata worked on the movie and it doesn't contradict anything, like most movies it's just bonus though
>>280356815>TiktokDon't people on Tiktok engage with the series they like secondarily most of the time? I've heard people who get "into" a series from there with summaries and memes rather than actually reading it or watching it.
>>280349425Wrote this while choking swallowing a big, black cock, btw. Forgot to mention, tee hee.
>>280357618>yes but tabata worked on the movie and it doesn't contradict anything, like most movies it's just bonus thoughYeah, but if there isn't any mention of that in the manga I'll just take it as something canon in the anime continuity, but not in the manga one.
>>280356624Anti magic sharing was already a shitty asspulls copied from Naruto, Yuno wielding the demon dweller is an even bigger one and Tabata directly spitting on Asta and his achievements
>>280358019NTA but fair enough.
>>280359605Kek. The story is about ALWAYS spitting on Asta so he never gives up.
If Asta gets rewarded, he'll become lazy and stop trying, so the story ending is pointing out at Yuno getting all the things Asta wanted, maybe Yuno will give him a high position and a recommendation when he steps away as wizard king.
>>280362188>If Asta gets rewarded, he'll become lazy and stop tryingIs the evidence on that solid?
>>280362188Yeah, I wonder about the ending. Logically Yuno should fuck off to rule the land that he's the rightful king of, but even if Asta shows up and beats Lucius, Yuno would kinda still deserve to be the wizard king more imo, he was the one who saved everyone with neverland and actually rallied the troops from the brink and he held the line against the final boss the longest.
But him chosing to step down and handing Asta his sloppy seconds would be really lame.
Maybe both of them will leave, Yuno to Spade and Asta to notJapan/to see the world or whatever.
>>280365386>actually rallied the troopsEh, it was more Mimosa doing the job for him. Yuno sucks as a leader.
For the rest I agree with you, which is why I think Yuno should die. It the perfect opportunity
When will the next chapter release?
>>280368246August 12th, it'll be 3 chapters + 17 guest illustrations from other WSJ authors
>>280365386Killing the rival in the final fight and have him give the protagonist the push to win is frankly kind of ballsy in this day and age. Horikoshi killed Bakugo only to revert it and Megumi (I guess?) just survived Sukuna and Unlimited Void because of course he did. Letting the deuteragonist die to fuel the protagonist to win feels like something classic, like you'd see in Fist of the North Star or other 80s Jump manga.
>>280369463>Horikoshi killed Bakugo only to revert itThat's because he has a crush on his childhood bully and Bakugo was by far the most popular character
Tabata hasn't the guts to pull it, but it would be pretty good
>>280272335>AIIIIEEEEEE YUNO SAVE MEholy shit this manga fell off a cliff
>>280272554Asta is willing to be as hard as his own abs if it means saving the world.
>>280383044dwarf lore when?
>>280383707hopefully soon. along with the Earth Spirit
Weird how Asta and Noelle never fought together
>>280385189but they have?
>>280383044I could have sworn in this gif she does a full 360 spin. mandela effect at work?
>>280388446I thought the same thing. Maybe we're confusing it with a different but similar gif?
>>280384778Hoping is dangerous.
>>280383707Charmy interacting with someone from Hino when.
>>280330158Ok, but Arthur is actually a good character
>>280389561almost thought that was watermelon print
Damn I didn't expect there to be this might hype. Kind of impressed
>>280369365NTA but good to know.
i know we're not the target audience, but the streamer Speed recently endorsed BC and said he's hype for the new anime. he's one of the biggest livestreamers in the world.
I say this just to put it out there that maybe just maybe Pierrot should go all out with the budget, production value, and marketing this time around
>>280413985>Pierrot should go all out with the budget, production value, and marketing this time aroundI would hope so, but I'm tempering my expectations.
>>280413985Ishowspeed? Well that's good to hear.
>>280414194Nice Fana post. I miss her. Both of them.
