THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So I'd say the real battle begins this episode.

Seriously if anything, they made Fana look like a monster of what she became. Oh and Asta is really someone that isn't afraid of backing down. I'd say, he's someone that really loves to get into trouble with characters like her.

it's good to see this arc is moving at a good pace, which should've been done all this time. This arc should be done in about 5 episodes.

The visual and animation is fairly consistent this time. But I'd say it's still a far cry from the manga's art.

Also they omitted Noelle from mentioning Bruce for whatever reason.

Oh look, the long-ass recap is back! Thank You Narrator-san, very cool.
I still enjoyed the episode though. The fight was great and we got some backstory about the elves.

Oh crap Asta started to yell louder even more than before and I knew Mars and Fana are related to each other. Black Clover's openings are giving many spoilers those who do not read the manga.

Ayy, hyper loud Asta returned again (and even his teammates told him to shut up, lmao). Nice fight though, love that they are still using the team up work instead of letting one character take all the glory, allowing everyone to shine. I doubt Fana will be defeated that easily, but at least they managed to neutralize Salamander.

And speaking about Fana, this episode basically confirms she is indeed Mars's childhood friend, but again, the series throws a flashback from the elf tribe, making me confused as to what the Third Eye truly are, if survivors from the elf tribe, or elves that reincarnated or possessed humans. Going by the fact that Fana is apparently both Mars's former friend and an elf, I'm going with the second choice.

What a great episode! But i think the next one might be even better.

So that girl is the ice boy's sister, interesting.
I doubt that it was humans who did the attack, i think that maybe they were betrayed but someone...

Given what's going on in the manga right now, that vision Fana had carried a lot more meaning when it showed up.....

The animation during Asta's special move actually looked somewhat decent. It wasn't amazing, but it looked slightly better than what we've been getting.

Well we learned about that during Mars' flashbacks in the second arc when he fought Asta in the dungeon.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

You know it's bad when even a lacking character like Asta is calling out the villains for their lame lack of motivation and their only come back is reverting to that singular character trait they have.

Can't wait for the twist on those elves too, that's not bleedingly obvious or anything.

I was looking forward to the backround story of Fana and I'm glad that it lived m
up to my expectations. I'm really interested to see more of her and Licht.

Astas special attack was dope af, lol. And Noelle did great too.

Nice episode overall.

This is so interesting, why does the guy who once befriended the elves look like the first magic king? Isn't he supposed to have existed a millennium ago? But then again, aren't elves generally depicted as that human-like creature that lives for almost an eternity? If it was the case, holding a grudge for thousands of years is really that corrupting.
The child Licht hinted at is giving me a lot of claims to say it could be Asta or Yuno, maybe both, Asta has a weird hair color, similar to the elves', however, he lacks all skills with handling Mana, one could even say he doesn't have any control of it, and then, there is Yuno, who looks a lot like the elves aside from the hair color, all of the elves so far have been those very good looking race that Yuno would easily blend in, did I forget to say his eye color is similar to Litch's? I've made theories about this a lot of times already, Just like to point it out furthermore.

The third eye strikes again, this time with that girl, it seems all of them are like that, probably everybody has the potential to awaken it?
Stuff like these really make you appreciate how strong Noelle really is, she's putting her loyalty genes to good work, she's very strong, she only lacks confidence. Exactly the opposite if Asta, only if strength meant Mana here. If it's done just like that, this girl really isn't all that strong and having Licht say she was stronger than him and every magic knight was just mumbling, that of Asta is just broken in his own story.
Nice Naruto reference at the end by the way.

The animation in this episode made me feel great. Did anyone else feel like that? (Noelle is still looking bug-eyed)
Although, I gotta say, first time I've seen a character knowingly use a talk no jutsu. Renewed my faith in this anime and then we have Fana being absolutely salty about it and already pulling out her third eye -it really isn't going good for her, is it.

I talk about talk no jutsu and we had Noelle pulling a Sakura, with her inner self inflating her ego, as well as asta doing his bull thrust (It's be a bit of a stretch to compare it to uzumaki barrage or boruto stream, wouldn't it?).

This episode was probably the most enjoyable in a longest while and that "Naruto" maki was a nice touch in petit clover, really felt like they've drawn some inspiration from the naruto series, and in my view is never a bad thing.

What? For real? So she isn't her sister? What a fail then xD I also don't know why they said that then.
Thanks for clarifying about this, otherwise i would have thought that they are blood-related.

Noelle was the best in this episode, but the MC has to take the credit at the end what a bummer. I love though the teamwork of Finral, Vanessa and Asta they coordinate very well with each other, also Noelle added a great touch.

Animation was bull but I enjoyed it anyway.

Good episode!

Nice to see Asta back in action with his arms, was cool see Asta referring to Vetto attacks were more faster than Fana's attacks, motivating Vanessa and Finral! Asta tried understand why they hate Clover by talking, and Fana's third eye awaken because of remembering the past! And salamander became even greater!

And yeah, our Noelle arrives for help, and when she tought about his brothers humiliate her, i thought "please dont think about that", but Astas motivated her, and her confidence came back! And Noelle shine with her powerfull attack!

Asta did last hit in salamander with her new attack, nice teamwork between Vanessa, Asta and Finral. And i was finding Fana's double element attacks too much familiar, Asta related her to Mars, and yeah she was his childhood friend showed in dungeon arc in Mars flashback!

I am wondering more about what happened to Litch and elfs, and Fana's backstory!

So what we're seeing here is that Fana's hatred rivals Asta's inhumane dedication... it's a weakness to be kind, but also righteous. It'll be okay with friends to back you and stop you from being too kind.
...also but also the diamond kid (Mars?) is probably Licht's son. (Tbh i was expecting the plot twist that maybe Asta was Licht's son but that'd be too wild...)

LOVE THIS EPISODE!!! I just love the battle between Fana and her Salaamnder vs Asta, noelle, finral and vanessa. the trio of Asta, Finral and vanessa makes Asta fight better. plus noelle's magic really is a big help in their fight today...

And did i have just realized one thing, and well Asta has also said it that Mars (from diamond kingdom) and fana are related at each other.

And the past of the elves clan has been shown on why they hated humans so much...

LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT EPISODE...

Asta's built up stress sure found the perfect outlet to vent out at though. His experience in fighting Vetto sure put Asta in good stead in fighting Fana. So the hatred that Fana and her friends have is borne from the crimes that the humans committed on the elves huh. The transformation though sure increased Fana and the salamanders power level while at the same time increasing the range of magic that she can use. Its nice that Noelle is able to find courage from seeing Asta's actions and use it to drown out the comments her brothers subjected her too in the past. That was some impressive teamwork in the end there.

The mini Noelle on the side was so cute. I didn't expect the cutesy "Yay, I did it!" Even though she didn't exactly show it, I still really love that side of her! I can totally see why she has a crush on Asta... I kinda ship it...

Huh... Why did she say that about...that one guy Asta described? Does she think he's dead? Is she aware of his fate but no longer cares about him? Either way, my opinion of her has changed. And her voice has that dark yet monotone sound to it (which I usually love) but she always sounds like that...so it has no effect when she does it.

Also... Heck yeah, Bull Thrust is awesome! It reminds me of this one attack Goku used in a DBZ movie.

Licht is actually the first Wizard King's friend, yet his whole tribe (the Elves) are slaughtered by light magic, presumably the first Wizard King's light magic. Too many teases! I want to know more!
Asta literally just want to know why the fuck these 3rd eyes are hating on humans so much, from what it seems from Fana's short flashbacks, I think she's brainwashed to think that she has lived when the elves are still alive, OR this is some reincarnation shit... Well, the time will come when the truth will be revealed...

Noelle's water dragon roar's attack + Asta's Bull Trust is all it takes to defeat the most powerful (in terms of attack power) spirit. The Bull Thrust, in particular, is so straightforward (literally! Lol!) yet so cool!

So this is where Asta and Fana faced each other quite a heat they put on this episode

There were some flashbacks from what Fana remembers looks like she's being brainwashed, Damn Noelle got a chance to use her powers again glad to see her use it once in a while she should do it more often it really looks so powerful when she finally uses it

And Finally, Asta finishing off the spirit but with a help of Vanessa and Finral to be frank well, this isn't over since the Diamond Kingdom from the other side is still up and running.


(P.C. That was an amusing scene Asta just doesn't care what other people do or say)
