Holy shit, the entire forest is burning. This really turned into a war.

At least they got Asta's arms healthy again. It looks like the witches are lucky to have someone like Asta on their side fighting now. They need all the help they can get.

A pretty average episode at best, it looks like they went down with the animation again, it's been a running theme with this show for as long as it's been airing, we shall only get the crispy stuff on big fights and some parts of the opening and ending theme songs it seems. They would really do the show justice if they were to make it a seasonal Anime.
I guess the witches are 100% confirmed feminists, I love how Black Clover didn't ignore that aspect from the real world, a cancer group of people, the arc is going to make for great feminists cringe compilation, the should really have Ben Shapiro as a character here.
I'm really pumped for the encounter of Fanzell and Mars, and even more so, Mars and Fana, that would probably end this arc by having her switch sides or something. She seems to be brainwashed more than being a pure loyal follower of the Eye of the midnight sun.
I reéally love the design of the witch queen, her voice actress is doing a really great job at putting the great tone for the snobby figure she is.
A little side note, Vanessa's threads shouldn't have been able to carry Asta's sword? Aren't they supposed to negate magic?

Okayish episode, my biggest complain is probably that Astas arm were healed just like that. It was a fine scene, but I was hoping for a bit more.

Fuck they changed a bit from the manga.

1. Vanessa should not be able to stop Asta's sword using her thread magic. That didn't even happened in the manga. She was suppose to stop using her own hands.
2. In the manga, Asta's sword is actually sharp enough to slightly cut through his arm.
3. Shit animation as always

I'm afraid how the aftermath of this battle will be animated.. either they gonna change that too or censor it.

Another slow but mainly comedic filler before the big action.

Shit just got real again with Fana the 2nd of the Third Eye and the Diamond Kingdom taking advantage of the remains...which is pretty much the 5th 13-episode arc.

Regardless, Asta's arms are back to normal now. Don't know how that happened within a flash...

Animation really took a hit this episode, feels cheap.

I noticed that as well. #1 is definitely the most stupid. And I'm going to go with censor considering #2 wasn't shown. So that being case, I very much doubt THAT scene will be animated and be completely censored. If they do, colour me surprised.

And for those who say Asta was healed too quickly, be patient.

Asta's attack was cool and there's a ton of new enemies but the episode did not provide enough build-up or character-development to provide the tension and weight a battle like this deserves.

The plot is the same except for the mistake of the Vanessa threads,

I notice however that the anime is giving names to all those characters unnamed in the manga, who knows if the author has anything to do with it.

8 episodes. It took only 8 episodes for our hero to recover from wounds that should debilitate him for life. Hell, it's 6 episodes if you discount the two flashbacks and only 4 since he was told they couldn't be healed. And it seemed almost TRIVIAL to heal his arms. Good thing the Midnight Sun attacked or else this never would have happened, it's not convoluted at all!

I really can't stand moments in these kinds of shows where they treat something life changing or terrible with barely a thought and fix it episodes later. It's bad, lazy writing. And at this point I expect little better from Black Clover.

It's just hilarious to me how much this show doesn't understand the nature of its own genre, it's like copying off of the worst student in your class.

That was a sloppy episode. Asta's arms recovery felt way too anticlimactic to me. Just it was too quick and felt too easy for that to happen.

Animation also finally dipped back into the bad levels that it had for a long time.

Black Clover was taking a step forward with the past few episodes, but it took 2 steps back with this one.

Good episode!

So witch forest as became a battlefield, being attacked by Fana and Diamond, we will see more about Mars, funny when Asta looked happy seeing him alive!

Mvp Noelle when she talked to witch queen!

I am glad that Asta's arms are healthy again!

And witch queen besides being really strong she can't defeat Diamond and Fana alone, so she got lucky about having Asta and other there!

Hyped for next episode, curious to see how Fanzel will fight too!

My the witches forest sure become rather popular suddenly. Its nice seeing Vanessa's determination in trying to fix Asta's arms by learning rare magic. Noelle sure was brave talking to the queen like she did though. The team's punishment of Asta after his recovery was amusing. Asta's way of dealing with the midnight sun commander sure was creative. Fana looks to be quite the tough foe so looking forward to seeing how this fight goes next ep.

He's gonna be roasted pork even if it's just a slight touch on Fana. XD

Anyway, I like this episode in terms of the events happened.
Animation is still below par though.

The queen healed Asta's arms so quick like what?
I wonder what it is about when she mentioned she'll gonna have Asta's anti-magic and Vanessa's magic too.

I look forward when Mars meets Fana. :3

Well. That episode was pretty anticlimactic. I was falling asleep... But it seems to pick up next week.
My only question is why did finral's not call for back up; although the forest of witches act as a sovereign state, it was in their best interests to cooperate. Any ways...

Great episode, glad to have Asta's arms back xD
Btw i thought about the Witches Village and i wonder how they reproduce if they hate men? xD I'm very curious about that hahah or maybe there are some secrets xD

It will be a tough battle, especially with fights going on both sides... i hope there will be some reinforcements.
Oh and also, where is the super mega strong Witche's Forest that everyone was talking about? Because i can't see it xD

I didn't expect The Diamond Kingdom to appear, that was sudden but it looks like Mars and Ladros will fight Zell. I really want to know their back story.

The queen sure healed Asta faster, proving how really powerful she is. Those witches sure hold strong feminists views, but it was funny nonetheless.

I'm really glad Asta is back in fighting mode and it seems he is stronger too.

Asta's arms were basically healed out of plot convenience with the forest being attack by two different forces like that. Even with that I was kinda surprised the Queen changed her mind so easily and fixed him up in seconds.

Also gotta love the tentacle rape captain who wanted to kidnap those girls. "That's the guy that killed Vetto! Better underestimate him real quick!"

The animation quality is seriously lacking in many places and it is falling apart. The fire spirit salamander should have been crimson red in colour but instead it was given a pink colour; are you kidding me!!!! In the episodes back when the 3rd eye were introduced the salamander had crimson red colour, so why turn it pink. And the 'clang' sound was so awful when Asta was striking down the Eye of the midnight sun members using his sword.

I love how Asta's arms were healed and then they just started beating up on him. Lol. Also, it's nice to see Vanessa acting in a way that's vastly different from the chill drinker we've come to know.

And oh boy... That girl with the pink hair from Eye of the Midnight Sun is back. I have a feeling that she might be just as annoying/infuriating as Vetto...

I'm getting more and more curious as to how Yami convinced Vanessa that fate doesn't mean shit and especially what Vanessa's fate actually is...

Bruh, Noelle literally just convinced the Witch Queen to fix Asta's arms just like that, and now they're even sturdier too! Quite an underwhelming way to get the arms fixed, but I'm hoping something good will come out of these now sturdier arms of Asta.

Lol Asta is immune to their punches, the whole of Asta is hard and dense, including his muscles and his ability to detect actual romantic feelings that girls had on him.

The Queen really is powerful healing Asta's arms as quick as that

So the Eye of the Midnight Sun is planning on attacking the forest as well as the Diamond Kingdom taking advantage of the situation, They really need reinforcements here glad that Asta's back and running even stronger I suppose, These witches do have a really condescending personality even though they're saved by Asta

This war between the three parties can really go badly if things aren't controlled as such

Yeah so it looks like were back on track for some fire episodes. I love the build of the witch queen she sick AF. I dig her outfit and make up she reminds me of the characters from Mashle. Also totally dig the fire spirit hatred lady she is super cool. She seems like she could be one of mars's friends from way back she even has the little diamond in her head. Im also wondering what the red lines on the eye of the midnight sun capos faces. Looks like the praying mantis guy has the same Lins I wonder if they are all not human. Anyway good stuff, things r heating up fosho.
