Also..

12:30 is Mind Game, which is considered an artistic triumph...and WEIRD.

Black Clover would be a lot more enjoyable if Asta had the Frying Pan SFX from Berserk every time he swings his sword.

Uh did he ever leave?

I think he just walked like 3 steps & how the fuck are you friends with that four-eyed turd Yuno?

[up] Ha it would be. [lol]

If anyone actually cares about Asta's lineage then, at least right now in the manga, it really does seem like he's not related to anyone special and is just a freak of nature. The possibility has been directly addressed and shot down.

Quick, Asta, grab that guy by the shirt.

That'll learn him.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

Annoying "Since were coworkers we have to be friends" cliche.

Like I would ever want to be friends with that turd-basket.

I would only put up with him cause I have too.

Well. I certainly was not expecting Luck (his name really is Luck? I haven't been paying much attention) to have a dark yet compelling backstory. Between him and Noelle, that makes at least two characters that would have made for more interesting protags than Asta.

@LSBK

That's cool. I'm kind of glad they at least seem to be avoiding the "Child of Prophecy" trap that Naruto fell into at the end.

@LSBK Until the manga is 100% finished and there are no sequels, I'm not going to believe Black Clover won't shamelessly use every cliche in the book.

"I'M NOT DONE!"

Ha, Asta said the thing!

So, what's the motif of this episode again? I can't quite place my finger on it. Something about friendship?

And there's the line. Thought we'd maybe go one or two episodes without "I'M NOT DONE!", but thank goodness for that flashback from Luck.

Such a fascinating character arc.

Luck has good potential, but his execution as an actual character arc sucks.

Friendship is important, guys! That's why Asta needs his friends to cheer him on while he does all the important work!
