24	* CelebrityVoiceActor: Jester Garandros is voiced by Fumiya Takahashi, a live-action actor in several dramas, but most well-known as TheHero Aruto Hiden in ''Series/KamenRiderZeroOne''.
25	* ChannelHop: The manga started in ''Weekly Shonen Jump'' but changed to the quarterly ''Jump GIGA'' in 2023. Tabata struggled with completing a chapter every week and often fell ill without accomplishing it anyway, and wanted a schedule where he could have time with his family [[https://twitter.com/ascillios/status/1701354976688124010 especially after his wife had a health scare,]] when most Weekly Mangaka have to live away from their families when they aren't on break because of how much they need to work every day.

32	* MemeAcknowledgment:
33	** Asta constantly shouting became an infamous meme as a result of him being voiced by his Japanese actor, Creator/GakutoKajiwara. Crunchyroll [[https://twitter.com/Crunchyroll/status/933536224555425792 would eventually poke fun at this on their Twitter account.]]
34	** "Make Nero plush" is a meme among fans complaining about the lack of ''Black Clover'' merchandise, with many fans wanting a plush of Nero. The official ''Black Clover'' English Twitter account [[https://twitter.com/blackclover_en/status/1321501423750705152?s=21 cheekily referenced it]].
35	* TheOriginalDarrin: In the English version:
36	** After being [[https://twitter.com/CrisGeorgeVA/status/1056707786413957120 replaced]] by Creator/JerryJewell for the initial broadcast of episode 53, Creator/JoshGrelle returned to re-record William Vangeance for the home media release.

41	** Nero has its noises provided by Hitomi Sasaki, who also voices Marie Adlai, but [[spoiler:when Nero switched to her true form, Secre Swallowtail]], she was replaced by Creator/AyaneSakura.
42	* OvertookTheManga: Defying this is the reason why the anime went on a hiatus on Episode 170 after adapting [[spoiler:Asta and Liebe's fight and mutual contract afterwards]], as the anime was so close to the manga at the time this would have been inevitable if it continued.
43	* PlayingAgainstType:
44	** Creator/AyaneSakura is known for being mostly cast as [[GenkiGirl cute, energetic girls]]. However, in ''Black Clover'', she voices the quiet, apathetic Secre Swallowtail.

57	* TroubledProduction: A case of it being an ongoing issue for the TV anime. The series was often plagued by [[OffModel shoddy animation]] and documented issues of finding even ''storyboard artists'' due to the lack of a production manager on Creator/StudioPierrot's part. More information about the series production woes can be found [[https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2018/12/19/black-clover-63/ here]].

Zagred's magic is nowhere near strong enough to copy Lumiere's magic in his soul form, so the devil used magic tools and arrays to make the ruse more convincing.]]
64	* WriteWhoYouKnow:
65	** Tabata based Charmy's personality off his wife's.
66	** Yami is based on Tabata's mentor Toshiaki Iwashiro, the creator of ''Manga/{{Psyren}}''.
