The bird is by far the best character in this anime.

Pretty good episode with a solid fight. I'm really liking Magna which is not what I expected after first meeting him. Also, Yuno's squad are up to no good, which I guess is because they're the douche bag royalty and all that.

Finally. The animation was really cranked up a notch.

Although the episode, overall, was very anticlimactic, the fight didn't really get me absorbed... And the end scene with the bird and Asta was really cringe, the humour of it was too forced

Is Asta's sword purposely dull because he both jabbed the bad guy, causing him to cough up blood not actually stabbing him, and then we he finished him off with a slash it more sounded and looked like he just hit him with the side of the sword rather than cut him. What's up with that?


It's a world where everyone uses magic. They probrably don't know a sword isn't suposed do be dull...

Oh so the old sword-magic guy really die. From the previous episode's preview, it looks like he died, but it was just a flashback. The episode was enjoyable overall.

I'm guessing that it only deals blunt damage rather than actual sword damage.

I really enjoyed the little progress with Noe and Mangna he is easily becoming a favorite character I think. Asta straight up going ham with that weapon of his, bet it feels like getting hit with a brick more then being cut.Heath's shoulder is Shattered no doubt.

It's an anti-magic sword, so it can only used to cut/slash magic.

Yes, you are right. Especially when it used to cut anything that aren't magic.

I was so scared that Magna might die this episode. Glad he didn't. Gaaah. This freaking show. ;-; The old man was so proud of you, Magna. Sad that the old man died, but he died happy. Idk anymore. RIP, old man.

Yaay to Noelle for finally managing to control her powers (kinda). Without her powers, I don't think the villagers, Asta, and Magna will make it alive. Love her being a tsundere. Haha.

Yep, those assholes died without us knowing what their motive really was. Fucking cowards. Wanna know behind that "MASTER" they're referring to and seems like the stone the old man's been holding onto is crucial to awaken that "MASTER".

That weird ass bird. Haha. Noelle, please wear some glasses. That bird ain't cute. Hahaha. Of course, Asta will get along with that weird ass bird. Hahaha. His screams I s2g, I love it now.

CAN WE HAVE YUNO NEXT EPISODE, ONEGAAAAI? ;-; No? Goddamnit.

5/5. <3

This episode was much much better, Asta was good like always.

Noel finally mastered one spell. Magna was really cool.

All the episodes need to be like this, no filler and get done with the story.

So as a mage's attitude matures their grimoires also learn new spells then. Interesting how the grimoires are linked to a mage's mental development though. But Heath though really is powerful and menacing as well. Magma and Asta's teamwork though was really impressive. But its nice that the fight against these evil mages is finally over. Noelle's praise towards Magma and Asta though was hilarious. Neolle's opinion of Asta really has changed after this battle huh. To think that Heath and his men will commit magic suicide though. The elder will greatly be missed by the village but by Nick the most though. Hopefully Nick will be able to become a magic knight in the future and live up to his gran's wishes though. Looks like this is only the first of the strikes that the cult will unleash though.

Best episode so far.

So people can get killed in black clover. Also, we finally see the real villains at the end


I hope the score get higher. I can't believe fairy tail got over 8 score, while this is only 6.6 !!! Fairy tail is insanely overrated. Black Clover deserve over 7 score at least

Well, she's present in most Arcs and her water barrier spell is always useful, but unless the anime starts adapting at least 1.6 chapters non-stop from now on, you will not see her fully controlling her magic nor using new spells this season.

You see some of her siblings, mainly the leader of the Silver Eagles, a couple of times, but even in the manga there's no arc that revolves around them yet.

Doesn't mean her development is done though. She's slowly proving her worth her siblings, and there are hints that more Silva related stuff may happen in the future.

so this might be a weird question but it's the only thing that really concerns me about this episode:
Who is voicing that strange dude with the golden dawn robe?

like, the fight was more or less predictable and i wouldn't mind seeing yuno again now but that unknown dude at the end got me quite curious as to who he is and what he's planning though i have an idea of what his goal might be ...
still the one thing that got me the most curious is who his seiyuu is because that voice feels extremely familiar but i can't remember where i've heard it before and it honestly annoys the hell out of me right now

I'm not even watching this anime ironically anymore. I legitimately like it. I started watching it with my brother (as is the tradition in my household with all Shonen anime that isn't MHA), and we both have a blast every week.
About the episode, Asta's cool as always. I love watching him bludgeon the shit out of people with his big-ass sword.
Also, pleasantly surprised to see death in this anime. The three(?) Ice dudes legit killed themselves in the plaza, and contrary to what I believed would happen, old man Seyhe stayed dead.

This episode was ok. The series was getting better right before Young Thottie showed up and now ever since she's been in EVERY episode, I've been liking Black Clover less and less. Can they please remove her from the main line up and put her on the bench for a while? She's irritating asf and frankly this team would function much better without her arrogant remarks. Put Yami on the front seat or that sexy chick with the underwear, just PLEASE, anybody other than Hoelle Young Thot.

Hated the generic ending. Felt like I'd seen it a million times before. Asta was more brave and, dare I say, sexy this episode. I love when a shounen hero stands up and fights against all odds. That's why I'm enjoying this show so much. Asta's pulling the FULL weight on his shoulders. Lord PLEASE bless this boy. Amen.

Which part is spoiler? When I reach that part in the manga, there is no one think the Golden Dawn is the bad guys. Everyone in the comment section just guess there is a traitor. And there is no way a squad transfer gonna happen.

What spoilers? It's spoilers to disconfirm people's assumptions. Let them watch thinking what they want and discover the truth for themselves.

As of now in the anime there's no evidence confirming or disconfirming the Golden Dawn is evil or not, so people can guess what they want based on what the anime showed.

Asta didn't like the suicide of the villains, but he isn't a suicidal idiot too? Since when does fire have an advantage against water? And that Asta's sword isn't sharp? Weak battles. And finally, they still put false hopes on Nick. So disappointing, I hate shounen. Interestingly, Noelle was finally able to control her powers, focusing not on attacks, but on defense. What is that magic stone?

The story is enjoyable, but man are there some flaws. Watching last episodes preview did anyone think that the old man was coming back? in the preview it had him alive, so that's what I thought, found it weird that he wasn't and I didn't even mourn him right. I think that sometimes it takes the comedy bit too far to where its not funny, Magna sliding on the floor when he found Asta sleeping. I get why the flashback is there, but felt as if it could have been timed better. Well the story is fun so i keep watching.

So far I've been watching Natsu and Naruto's love child with usual tsundere sidekick. And now I see the philosopher's stone and some transmutation circles? xDD JK.
What I want to say is that the anime is still fucking stereotypical shounen. And not stereotypical like Naruto or Bleach. No! The main problem is that I see these shounen elements and literally nothing else. Like they make it shounen-like just to be shounen-like. I know this doesn't make any sence but... nah, kinda frustrating.

Asta & Magna combo was cool, Asta may be annoying from time to time but I also guess he can be a good protagonist for a younger audience. There's mystery and we're starting to have a good group of main characters. I'm liking where this is going.
