@Enlong How could she possibly be a friend and or rival when she doesn't have a penis?!? Clearly this is the only role for her!

I read bits of the manga, but the actual Best!Girl for Asta is actually a minor character in the scheme of things who he most likely won't end up with anyway. tongue

For what it's worth, I actually do think Noelle's character arc is handled fairly well, obviously clichéd elements aside.

UNACCEPTABLE! He's going to marry Sister Lily, and that's final!

No, he's going to marry Shy Childhood Friend Who Secretly Worshipped the Ground Asta Walks On. And if she doesn't exist right now, she will be conjured up from sea foam just for Asta.

On the subject of Asta/Noelle, I honestly don't mind romances in most stories (male lead/female lead or otherwise), but dear God, we just went from 0 to 60 in this episode with her. Even for something as formulaic and cliched as Black Clover, that felt way too rushed.

[up] Gimme my three wishes, Enlong.

@Yakuzu: One thing I'll give credit to Akame ga Kill! for is not having the title character fall for Tatsumi. Same with Bleach and Dragon Ball, actually.

@Rojixus, No, I'm pretty sure Noelle's got that attribute covered.

And Naruto, as much as I dreaded that possibility.

Anyway, my main issue with her is just how rushed it seemed.

[up][up] Well its a shonen so its not like it will amount to anything till like the end of the series.

I wonder which is worse: being eaten alive by your sister & friend or seeing your sister naked?

That's my thinking. Ignoring whether it's cliche or not, it's literally more how quick it was that makes me laugh.

He's living that Single Life, Enlong.

It's a Cameo reference, don't ask.

Man, Resident Evil 8 is looking really good anime right now.

Avdol, that "Hell to you!" wordplay was hella corny, but I'll let it slide.
