| while the animation was great, i didnt like the style they used that much, plus this wasnt that important of a villain to use that budget, it was one of the lamest characters to appear in black clover and there was no buildup to the fight so it wasnt that inpactfull as apparently the drector/animation staff thought , kinda feels like a waste of budget when they could have used the same style they use for yami fights, and keep a bit of budget for using in other episodes, since im pretty sure theyll be back to that shitty animation they use all the time |

| What a mind blowing episode. I may not be the biggest fan of Black Clover but this episode is changing my mind fast! I hope more like this is to come during my marathon :) Asta at the end tho was nuts!! lol |
| Damn.This episode is as I remembered it,full of action.The fight is still a mistery to me.Is that good animation or bad animation??I mean,Mob did something like this too but it was better.And I still don't like the last part.It's just too scary. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| This is what I understand when people talk about hot garbage... what (for now) I think it's the highlight of the arc and the animation and art were AWFUL most of the time. I was really excited with what was happening with Asta and everything but they ruined it... if they wanted to experiment, they could have done so with any other episode. I'll keep watching BC, just hope they are merciful and don't push this Paint garbage down our throats again. |
| The animation was fucking sick, though the art might be a little bit questionable, kinda reminds me of Naruto vs Pain. By the looks in the comments, it seems that people still don't know what the difference between art and animation is, smh. Really hype episode. |
| People here saying the animation was bad,bruh most you guys can't even make a stickman move. |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| They really went all out with the animation in this episode. I've never been a big fan of this over the top style but this fight was still fun to watch. The queen of witches really is op with her magic. Asta looked terrifying at the end! |
 |
| This would have been one of the best fights of black clover, but the art of the animation was awful... And was 13 animators.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IwZvdcC4AE |

| Those who are saying the art was good in this episode are very clearly trippin.Sad to see they have to completely deny themselves to defend this show. Imagine if I was a Manga reader,I would've hated the background art even more than before. |

| There it is the awakening finally happened, Damn there actually was a demon dwelling inside Asta as we've seen so far when he passed out This episode really was full of action the scenes were so hype It's like I can't keep up with them, At least Asta can still control himself and still decides for himself I got a little nervous when he was looking like killing Ladros but he's still conscious of his actions which I was relieved to see I knew the Queen wouldn't let this opportunity go she was planning on taking the anti-magic all along she's really powerful at that moment and quite frightening. |
  |
| This was different that animation was not what I was expecting but it wasn’t bad either and that part when Asta met the demon that was cool and ya great episode |
 |
| Asta's in darkness. Sakuga Clover. What is that? His closest companion? The sky. Dat transformation. Akuma. WTF is this fight? Dat cut. His bloodline? Asta's not special and that's what makes him special. Dat Black Meteorite. Asta won. The Queen appears. Execution ground? She's controlling Asta. Kill everyone? Dat ending. LMAO What. An. Episode. I'm watching the BD, btw. Asta finally awakens. Took forever, thought it appearing the past OP's were just for show. |

MonkeyShines said: I'm sorry but this is terrible. I understand what they were going for, but... why? In the manga Asta basically just oneshots the dude. So why change it into some epic fight when you clearly don't have the budget/talent to do it justice? Baffling. this is the most common misconception about anime and animation in general. it's not about budget or talent, Pierrot has a lot of it. It's all about time/schedule in making these episodes. Black Clover is one of the unfortunate anime where it's production schedule is the worst you could have imagine. For comparison Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer got 2 years of pre-production whie Black Clover staffs got only 6 months before it air back in 2017 and being a weekly anime for almost 4 years didn't help either. That's terrible by any standards. But soon you'll notice in upcoming episodes espcially on bigger fights, the animation quality improves over the time and that's because BC staffs really love the anime and want to present it the best they can do despite the hellish schedule. |
| Oh wow that's where all the animation budget went LOL nice one!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Queen is manupulating Asta! Everyone run! :D |

| No wonder the animation sucked so horribly in previous eps, all the budget went into this although while the sakuga animation was godtier, I'm not a big fan of the distorted artstyle. Demon form Asta was pretty cool and also refreshing how he was still in control compared to other shounen protagonists who lose control. |
 |
| Man, demon form Asta is an unstoppable powerhouse!! Hands down the best animated ep till date!! People be complaining about the animation style but imo it was quite innovative, the frames were made fluid intentionally to resonate along with the fast pace🔥🔥 Plus I had seen this coming from our bitch Witch Queen, she just seemed too shady of a character to be on the good side. |
 |
| Asta’s transformation was really sick & the fight was (tbh I didn’t really care for it......I can’t even tell if it’s stylistic or LAZY with them at this point lol) but my favourite part was after the fight & the Witch Queen revealing her true intentions. The OST is so lousy but I liked the Witch Queen’s OST!! Fana & Mars so cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Just gonna say that while it's far from being as clean a fight as something of the likes such as Saitama vs Boros, it certainly was quite a sight to see at least for Black Clover standards. What's actually happening is more important than how it looks, and that is the demon within Asta unleashed. Or at least, half-unleashed? Usually you'd think that a demon residing in an anime character's body is going to pose as a huge problem. But to my pleasant surprise, Asta is still pretty much in control and has kept his demon at bay despite being able to use quite a large extent of its powers. Whether eventually it will end up controlling him is still up in the air, but something like that would be terribly cliché. Him developing a relationship with his demon would also be somewhat cliché, but that would be more interesting to see. I want to see Asta go berserk again, but not go out of control. And despite this earth-shattering fight, the fight is far from over, and in fact the real fight has probably just begun, with what looks to be the strongest character in this arc to have arrived on the battlefield after spectating it all this time. It's not just the fight that attention was given to though. This whole episode looks better than usual, there's more motion, everything feels more defined. Like the rotating shot around Vanessa as she's on the blood-stake thing, as well as Noelle slowly shaking her head in fear and disbelief as an Asta controlled by the witch queen slowly moves toward her to execute her. You don't need a big explosive battle once every arc. Just little things like these scattered throughout alone make animation feel that much more solid. edit: I'm sorry but this is terrible. I understand what they were going for, but... why? In the manga Asta basically just oneshots the dude. So why change it into some epic fight when you clearly don't have the budget/talent to do it justice? Baffling. While I do appreciate them giving us one continuous sequence of action, un-interrupted by any significant backstories or monologues, if this is true that the above happens in the manga, I would have much preferred that instead of what we got. Pour your heart and soul out into a few seconds of Asta one-shotting Ladros and make it f*cking spectacular, instead of spreading the time and work over several minutes and making it appear borderline half-assed. |

ropiel said: People here saying the animation was bad,bruh most you guys can't even make a stickman move. Yep. So many whiners. |
| fanbase that cannot accept that there are opinions and opinions. Worse than the perception I had of this episode was the arrogance of the guys here. Nobody is obligated to know everything about the industry. Knowing the difference pointed out here doesn't change the fact that they hated the episode and that's okay. No one is wrong to dislike this. |
| After that abhorrent disgusting animation... I wanted to drop this shit lolz |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The animation was weird yet so good at the same time. I wouldn't call it bad but it was a bit hard to follow at some scenes. Anyways I actually loved this episode. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| lol what the fuck are they using Microsoft paint? The Queen was after the anti magic afterall and her magic was blood manipulation, i guess she really was op which is why nobody tries to mess with her |
| I can’t comprehend the animation! |
| Yeah, im hyped!! Nice fight |
