History Characters / BlackCloverAsta

* ThemeNaming: His anti-magic swords have a naming theme: Demon-Slayer Sword, Demon-Dweller Sword, and Demon-Destroyer Sword. After Yami's katana joins his grimoire and becomes an anti-magic weapon, he calls it the Demon-Slasher Katana to fit with the theme.

* TheUnchosenOne: Asta was the only one born magic-less in a world of mages, being unloved by mana and only because he trained his body very hard since childhood to make up for being magic-less he could even wield his giant anti-magic swords. He's only able to use his grimoire because of a rare genetic defect, and as the Witch Queen puts it Asta is nothing special, but it is because of this that he is special. Him and Liebe think about how they're this when they use the Demon-Slasher Katana to [[spoiler:save Yami -- the sword ''[[ImplausibleFencingPowers chooses]]'' what it cuts and leaves intact what it wants to protect.]] Him being this is why [[spoiler:Lucius wants to eliminate him -- as the only living being born without any magic he's the flaw in his plan to remake humanity to be equal.]]

* NamedWeapons: Asta's anti-magic swords are all named: the Demon-Slayer Sword, Demon-Dweller Sword, and Demon-Destroyer Sword. After Yami's katana becomes part of his grimoire and another anti-magic sword, he calls it the Demon-Slasher Katana.

** Later on, he gets the Demon-Dweller Sword, increasing his offensive capability. As the name implies, this sword literally absorbs the mana from its target, giving Asta more potential as a debuff specialist.
** After losing his Demon-Dweller Sword against the real Licht, he gains the Demon-Destroyer Sword from the same person. The sword can absorb and also remove effects of magic caused by said spells, which even includes the Reincarnation Magic.

* LoveHurts: His final proposal [[TimeSkip after becoming a grown man]] to Sister Lily [[spoiler: and rejection is treated completely seriously, and while Asta recovers quickly as expected of him he still needs a moment to compose himself and the way his eyes are drawn while promising to become the Wizard King make it obvious he tried not to cry. Unfortunately he's not given any time to rest on it either with what happens immediately after. Its to the point where [[spoiler:Ryu's all seeing eye tells him that Asta had just had his heart broken and continues to refer to Lily as Asta's girl for the rest of the arc since Asta hasn't moved on from loving her romantically yet]]. Later on, [[spoiler: when she gets put in a coma after he frees her body from Lucius' control he's uncharacteristically ready to kill Lucius since its thought to be the only way to save her.]]

** In chapter 332, [[spoiler:he confesses to sister Lily again and was rejected again but this time he understood that there are times one cannot change the feelings of others and finally gives up pursuing her. [[LoveHurts The way he looks like he's holding back tears in the next scene while trying to stay positive shows that it doesn't make the rejection hurt any less.]] Especially since he admitted he had known she would never say yes for a very long time and what the BigBad does to her immediately after.]].
