| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- HALF OF THEM LITERALLY DIED! Damn, Even Yuno didn't stand a chance against Zenon... Wow he is so OP! If it wasn't for the Vangace's World's Tree Magic, Everyone was supposed to be dead. Pretty hyped for the next episode! |
| Well, Yuno had a tough opponent this episode but I never doubted him. But I have to say...this episode escalated fast. From a regular battle to despair and hopes shattered. Crazy. I also really enjoyed watching Zenon's role and establishing him in this Spade Kingdom arc. |
 |
| Devastating episode! RIP Hamon, Shiren and other Golden Dawn members. T_T Yuno was easily defeated by Zenon, which was quite expected. Their magics are incompatible to begin with, only few types of magic can damage devil magic. Despite of that, Yuno single-handedly defeated a Zero Stage Dark Disciple and even inflict damage to Zenon, which forced Zenon to use his devil magic! Yuno is weak now against Zenon, but he'll surely get stronger and revenge his fallen comrades as well as his Spade Kingdom family and take back Captain William. I'm looking forward to that!!! HYPE!!! Bell's current form looks immature, I guess she still have some power to unleash. The first time they met, Belle looks like an infant with short hair. lo  |

They really adapted nearly 4 whole chapters huh...the next 10 episodes, including this one, will be fucking great😭👋🏾 In the face of overwhelming power...sentiment and vengefulness are meaningless. Everything is. -iykyk Knowing that Zenon's devil magic is spatial, there would be three possible people to take on him...Finral, Finral's brother & the fat guy from the tournament arc back then who used to be in the same squad as wizard king Julius & Yami too lol Yuno's scream really gets me every time... |

| when Yuno screamed I felt that! Damn what a crazy episode |
| Captain Vangeance has been taken but what a legend, he still cast a vast spell to save half of his squad, respect for the man. So what are they gonna do now, things aren't looking good at all for Golden Dawn. They've been hit hard. |
 |
| Respect for captain Vangeance,don’t if he could have fought longer if he didn’t do that,but he sacrificed significant part of his magic to save his squad what a great captain |
 |
| Holy shit this episode..... |

Maruseru93 said: this episode adapted 3 2/3 chapters...if they don't go on a break around episode 170ish it should be less than 10eps away...but with this pace the anime would surpass the manga in a few months...nice episode especially zenons bone magic its crazy strong and reminds me of gaaras sand from naruto who protected him automaticly btw how is the pacing so how many episodes till we see Ao_Blue said: I wouldn't say that. But as you said yourself Zenon's spatial magic was his devil's power and the bone magic was his own...Yuno was easily defeated by Zenon, which was quite expected. Their magics are incompatible to begin with, only few types of magic can damage devil magic. Despite of that, Yuno single-handedly defeated a Zero Stage Dark Disciple and even inflict damage to Zenon, which forced Zenon to use his devil magic!

Dotxyz said: Nah my mans is fine...OMG MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT WHEN I THOUGHT YUNO MIGHT DIE The anime didn't skip the flashback? They even extended it...And the anime will most prob go on a break after |

| omg this is super super awesome !!! cant believe since i watched beginning never skipped , this is the best arc ever !! |
| It's heartening to see the Golden Dawn change for Yuno, inviting him along regardless of status...but seeing them thrashed by the Dark Triad, the anger is justified. Pitting himself against Gaderois, and shutting him down just as quick. The others against Foyal, even with the reincarnated elf powers, aren't enough to take him down, and Yuno's nick-of-time helps aid them in defeating Foyal. The important crux: Captain William Vangeance vs. Zenon, even with Klaus and Letoile sacrificed, and at 55% power of the Devil, it's not enough to cover the wide demise of the Golden Dawn at half the numbers. Getting stronger is the name of the game, and Yuno has to go ham now. The fastest pacing of Black Clover so far at 4 chapters, yet leaving nothing behind from the manga. That says a lot at how great this show has become overtime. |
 |
| It's really going down, damn this was intense and with a depressing outcome. At least Vangeance prevented complete annihilation and it was time for Yuno to take a big L. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Damn, half of the Golden Dawn squad is dead. At least Vangeance was able to save some of them, he got captured by the guy from Spade Kingdom in the process. This fight made the Knights understand the power difference between them and the Dark Triad. |
 |
| What an episode. Half of the squad straight up dead. And even 2 or 3 important characters, granted I didn't care about those 2 that much but I also didn't want them to be gone. Zenon is actually op. Wizard king and asta would be the only opponents that could beat him, because asta is the main character, but Julius is still in his kid form. Please tell me Vangeance isn't dead!! |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Great episode ! wow the stakes are high now. Rip half of Golden Dawn squad |
 |
| Bruh, thank god it wasn't dam revival magic because that would ruin almost everything the show did lol. But dam this episode semi slapped the shonen genre. Nice to see that the author wasn't afraid to kill some of the cast(hopefully) because now that's something else. |
 |
| Good episode but as manga reader I was little disappointed with 55% zenon scene. It could have been done better Also, Zenon hand is black when he used 55% in the manga |

| That was a great way to make the villains of this arc looking fucking terrifying and boss like. Really well done there honestly. While I doubt all of GD are super strong anyway, but to make it look piss easy, damn. |
| Well, Zenon is OP, makes me hyped for the future fights with him and the arcane stage mages! Damn Yuno's screams actually hurt you in the feels. Half the squad dead 0.0. Poor Bell, she almost lost her master (?) Where is William? If he's not here, then Yuno would have to guide everyone in Golden Dawn then O.o Wonder when we'll get to see I hope he's husbando material like I think he is~ |
| I remember people were upset that didn’t let Klaus die this chapter lol. I think this was like chap 230ish or so, most shonen major deaths happen much later in the story so idk why people were tripping lol. Good adaptation, I think it would’ve been better to end it on Yuno in a near death state though just to have that cliffhanger. |
 |
| Zenon is too OP, he basically took down Golden Dawn all by himself including captain Vangeance. Captain Vangeance has my respect. Though I wonder how the Golden Dawn will recover from this. |

Yeah I don't like characters dying just for the sake of dying if there's no purpose or atleast have an effect to main protagonists. The golden dawn characters that have died might be fodders or third rate characters but it affect Yuno so much that you can feel it. |
Ao_Blue said: It isn't lmao (if you're caught up with the manga asapabri said: I wouldn't say that. But as you said yourself [b]Zenon's spatial magic was his devil's power and the bone magic was his own You're like saying anti-magic is not Asta's. lol |

| Vangeance is a total beast when it comes to his world tree magic, but versus devils him and Yuno were totally outclassed this eps. At least Yuno was able to save half the squad, without his intervention I suspect they would of been wiped out! On a side note I liked some of the still shots of Yuno which cropped up, gave a more mature feel to his character like he is more grown and rugged. Hard to explain, more something I felt. |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| This episode was great. RIP half of Golden Dawn squad. |
| BRAWLERS |
| Omg, correct me if im rong but its the first time that Yuno experienced dispar. Anyways this episode was so fking epic and intense, hope to finally see some character development from Yuno in the next few chapters |

Well, new character hype |
| Is a sad episode,yeah. But the squad was elitist as hell, of how powerful they were, with all ' We are superior over all other squads", now they were slapped hard. They got a reality check. |
 |
| I enjoyed it despite not having the best animation (understandably they are probably saving the good stuff for the true hype battles of the arc, giving this was more a one-sided massacre), but the voice acting (Zenon trash talking Yuno and Yuno's scream of impotence at the end especially) and OST were pretty good, things that ended saving the episode. RIP Hamon, you were my favorite from the supporting Golden Dawn members T_T They are not slowing the pacing at all, so they may cover this arc in eight or nine episodes. This worries me a bit, since if they aren't careful enough, they may catch up with the manga in a few months, and that will likely mean we gonna get more filler. |
 |
| I don't remember when was the last time we saw someone dying on Clover side, but seems like ages ago And this time we even noticed some well-known members from the Golden Dawn died |
 |
| Arguably the best episode of the entire show. Not for the action scenes (we've seen a few more impressive) but because -at last- we saw some real impact, some true deaths. However, since this is Black Clover and noone ever really dies (as far as I recall only the Elves, that bastard Word Magic demon and Zora's father have died without being resurrected; I mean the second time the Elves died) I cannot rule out some time magic BS by Julius or whomever to undo these deaths - and thus in the process also undo the beauty and impact of this episode... I am cautiously optimistic that this might not happen because most of the characters who died where minor, with barely any screen time. Perhaps this massacre was intended as a plot device to motivate the surviving half of Golden Dawn and all the other squads and serve as a warning that the northern demons are not to be underestimated. It also appears that Yuno regretted passing on the offer to train in the Heart Kingdom. If he had trained in the Heart Kingdom (in particular with the Wind Spirit Guardian) he would have amplified his magic with these word spells the other guys learnt, making use of natural mana beside his own. That's a magic technique that there was no way in hell he could have devised on his own, no matter how long he trained. Unfortunately his arrogance prevailed, incorrectly believing that there was nothing the Heart Kingdom Spirit Guardians could have taught him that he would not develop on his own. If he amplified his spirit magic with natural mana to about twice its current strength he might well become strong enough to defeat Zenon. Since this is Yuno I expect he could amplify his magic at least three times. This was a missed opportunity and Asta is arguably now stronger than him.. Surely this shock will serve as a humility lesson for Yuno? |
 |
| Well, it took about all of that to make Yuno snap out. |
| Ouh shit, half of them are death, I seriously thought Klaus and Letoile were done for as well. There's a reason Vangeance is capitan of the strongest Magic Knights Squad after all. |
 |
| Was gonna say it would be really ballsy to kill off most members of the Golden Dawn. Of course half of em still died but only a few named minor characters that we actually knew. Tho it's up in the air whether the captain had to die to cast that spell or what. |
| Damn, this escalated very quickly. The golden Dawn lost half of it's members. I swear to god that Klaus and Letoile are not amongst those dead. Rip Siren and Hamon. Surprised to see actual deaths in Black Clover. Zenon is an incredible force though, that devil power is no joke... |

Morcombe1990 said: Anime will go prob on a break episode 170ishwow they covered 4 chapters, i thought for sure that Yuno being "dead" would be the cliffhanger ending so i'm guessing based on the future episode titles that episode 162 will cover the remainder of 239 till 242 episode 163 will be chapters 243 - 246 episode 164 will be 247 - 250 and episode 165 will be 251 - 254 the manga assuming there is no breaks would be at 284 by that time and leave us 30 chapters ahead of the anime. how are they going to avoid catching up. |
