They're talking about how that dude seems to know Asta and might he someone we already know.

My money is on another LN exclusive character.

I don't think the mysterious figure knows who Asta is personally.

Could be in the context of "Heard some guy came crashing into our island from the sky, there he is."

And the training arc has been happening in Magical "NOT" Japan! :v: So Yami has the Itachi backstory of killing his entire clan save for one sibling, no idea why yet. Though by the looks of it, having an alcoholic abusive father resentful at being put in a remote part of the country sure sounds like that will be a reason!

The Sasuke of Black Clover turns out to be an eleventh-hour Asta harem add (probably).

In hindsight, it couldn't have been any other way. :allears:

I think it's quite funny that Yami has pretty much the same backstory as Itachi.

it's because it's simply not even worth posting about. like it's not even actively bad, it's just continuing to be the same poo poo reusing beats everything else has already done before but without bothering to spend the time with characters being fun that makes it palatable. a rice cake of shounen action

Black clover is something i come back to after a year or so and catch up and think "hey this isnt really so bad! I kind of like it!" And then read weekly for a month and get bored and the cycle repeats

I think I only read this manga because it was part of my Toonami backlog. While there's a few decent parts of it, they decline hard on reread, and the rest is a melange of forgettable mediocrity and mild disappointment. On the plus side, there's only minimal power creep, and the female cast isn't useless.

Tabata would never seriously maim her like Mirko and Nobara. If he was ever going to, he had ample opportunity to do so over the course of the series.

currently on the catchup part of this cycle

it never really goes beyond "pretty good" but i like it, asta is a loveable scamp. really needs any downtime at all though, it's just non-stop desperate last stands at all times

Black Clover is best when it is goofy characters interacting, which it hasn't done for quite a while. The Charmy joke from the most recent chapter was fun though.

Just started watching the anime, so far I am super early it's just generic shonen but well done enough that I don't mind going through it. I knew that Asta screams a lot in the anime but holy moly give the VA an award his vocal cords must be made out of steel.

Ya I am kinda waiting for the first real arc so far it hasn't had that. The exam arc was very weak, of course when you think of "exam arcs" you think of HxH or Naruto which did it quite well, this was just kinda I guess they just pass?

Just to remind people the Black Clover movie comes out on Netflix in just a few hours. I'm pretty excited to see the whole cast animated again. Hopefully, this means they can continue the anime afterwards, as while the initial few episodes were hated I feel like they fixed most of the issues near the end of the series.

Watched the movie and it has some awkward points due to the whole "Julius being the final big bad" plot twist.

Black Clover has finally graduated into "Naruto sharing his Kyubi chakra" portion of the final arc apparently.

All I hope is we get another brawl with whatshisface using that Soul Chain magic and just turning into a really good issue of Ippo.

Black Clover is moving to Jump GIGA because Tataba is being turned to dust by weekly publishing.

Jump GIGA is quarterly, so new chapters every 3 months.

Will the new chapters still be on Viz's Shonen Jump app? I'm like a year behind on the story and I'd like to eventually catch up some day and it would suck if the version I read just stops halfway through the last arc
