Some of the elements of this episode reminds me of the first episode, such as the Clover book and narratives.

I guess it's kinda fitting they threw in a lot of recapping of events at end of the year as a way to remind us of Asta and his adventures.

The last episode of the filler arc, and what a recap of the ENTIRE series thus far from the very beginning.

From the SUPER ANNOYING "Marry me, Sister Lily!" to the proceeding arcs that prove that Asta has changed A WHOLE LOT (well, except the core of his shouting).

The other Magic Knights are growing at a steady pace, but to face the Spade Kingdom would take leaps of strength and faith.

Ending the 3.25 years of the long-running series on a good note, and starting next year anew with the continuation of the manga!

I usually skip flashback episode like this, but the first episode was aired 3 years ago, and I watch this weekly, not binge-watching, so I watch this just to remind main points (I already forget why Asta receive his grimmoire!!!).

From the preview, one male character from black bull will have a new design, I'm looking forward to him.

Beyond hyped for the next episode as a manga reader. Previews looked clean af to me so they definitely not holding back for the start of this arc, my excitement literally could not be beyond what it is, both for the new op and content.

Solid recap episode and not many complaints to have about it being one, it's fitting giving the turn in the story we have now. Animation for what wasn't recap was also solid, especially the final scene. Overall liked this episode and was a good set-up for what's to come.

Bring on the Spade Kingdom :D

The moment he asked Asta to tell him about his life I knew it was a recap.

So Magna really just went home, huh? Obviously he's gonna have some other training, but that got me to raise an eyebrow.

A very nostalgic episode. Reminded me of the reason why I love Asta nd Yuno's rivalry, they're supporting each other since the beginning.

Noelle is so amazing. Well, everytime she's using Valkyrie Dress is amazing!

Asta is flying in the preview using his sword. I'm looking forward to the next arc!

See you next year mina-san!

Recap episode with some really good scenes, made me nostalgic. This has been a great journey so far.

Finally the filler arc ends and they'll start adapting the manga from next episode. Hyped to see the arc animated.

Bruh. For the most part, this was a recap episode which made me quite disappointed but literally the last 5 minutes of this episode made me hella gassed with Asta's sword ability able to return to his grimoire and then the devil that resides within him to starting to laugh. I cannot wait for the next episode tbh (haven't watched the previews as well).

Well that was a good recap episode.

Looks like Asta has a new power too. Is it like a thing where he can instantly grabs his swords no matter where they are? Or is it something more than that?

RIP my ears.

Anyways.... This episode's animation was realllllyy good compared to the previous episodes of this filler arc.

Finally, the devil will be making an appearance soon.
His relationship with Asta will be just like Naruto and Kurama.

Let's see how story continues....

Even if it was a recap for the most part, the training scenes of Asta and Noelle at least looked good. What's more important, the filler finally ends and we can move on to manga content! Let's hope they deliver for the Spade Kingdom arc, cause it has been hype so far in the manga and it deserves a good treatment. At the very least the visuals for the next episode look promising.

Im not sure what everyone is excited for after this season....Recap of recaps, boring build ups, generic weak & meaningless back stories to this point (anime).

What more can be expected? Another war with a Devil + rushed backstory on the what the Devil clans after?

It's crazy how far BC has come over the last 3 years. There are so many great moments and I'm just glad I never stopped watching it. Noelle and especially Asta made a lot of progress. I don't know what Asta exactly did at the end but it was pretty epic.

So that's it with the training arc and we're about to enter manga material. I'm so excited. Just the preview for the next episode looked so damn good. I hope I'm ready for what's about to come :D

A somewhat boring chapter, I understand the purpose of the summary but it seemed unnecessary to me, a few weeks ago they had summarized the entire history and development of Asta, the really interesting thing about this chapter was the final minutes (from minute 18 onwards) and it gets closer the arc of war and hype is on top.

It was okay.. recap Episode, i feel nostalgic...
It's been 3 years i think since i watched Black Clover,as someone who watched it weekly i think it's good to refresh those memories back before we jump right into Manga Canon again next episode...

Damm that Black Meteorite scene, i guess they never gonna fix that unless on blu ray version???

But there is more, we got Noelle & Asta Training Montage... That's Dope

I guess say goodbye to this OP and ED song right...

Black Clover isn't seasonal anime dude...
Are you never watched long running series before? Recap episode like this is not a rare things

And this the last episode before new year and back to manga canon... So Recap just to refresh our memories and also giving the Animator some times to work on the next episode...
I guess you never thinking stuff like this right?

Noelle's armor and her fighting style are beautiful. Asta improving even more and a little speech about Asta's grimoire demon, I think he should appear in the next arc.

Not a bad episode, it's a good refresher as the series is taking a week's break and resuming the manga (finally). Also nice to see Asta and Noelle improving quickly.

Great episode. Nice to see how they recapped events that occurred from beginning to present.

It's very clear everyone is getting stronger, hopefully strong enough to defeat the devil. Looks like Asta got stronger by revealing another hidden power.

So...it's not just me then. No one knows what it is that Asta did at the end? To me, it looked like he blocked an ability with his sword, the same way he always does. Not sure what was supposed to be special about it.

Welp, more recaps, that's a big bruh moment for me, but what's even bigger of a bruh moment is seeing Magna back in Clover Kingdom, wow, that must've been one depressing homecoming.

Besides the fille,r we got some more status report on the characters' training, but FINALLY, this ep will be THE LAST ONE. The last filler-recap whatever the fuck non-manga shit ever. Sayonara fillers! ♪~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Next ep will be business as usual, for real this time.
