Damn next episode lowkey spoiling Julius' death? Fight was overall a bit better than some of the lackluster ones we've been getting lately, but still not to that awesome level that some of the other previous fights were (like Licht part 1 or against the first member of the Midnight)

Yup, far too many hints.
Blatantly obvious since the the first version of this Op started that William is somehow related to the Midnight Sun and the fact that the Vice-Captain is influenced too is just more proof for that. With this said though, I certainly didn’t expect Will & Licht to be one person with two sounds somehow. Pretty good buildup to it although it was probably overdone at the start. Solid Sakuga Animation to boot with the fight versus the Wizard King, so that’s another plus! Lol @ poor Yami but he’s definitely picked on something (apparently just like the Wizard King has). More of Henry’s OPness this episode too, lol.

I’m seriously expecting to seeing the end of the Wizard King next episode. Eerie foreshadowing with that next episode preview, in my opinion, much thanks to the live events. If so, I’m really curious as to how much of Licht’s life he’ll manage to take along with him. Licht attacking alone just doesn’t make sense either so I’m guessing there’ll be a surprise attack for him soon enough, looking forward to that.

Well it was expected that William was Licht all along, I hope we see backstory on how that happen.

Next episode is going to be very....

I’ll say it, this anime lacks good soundtrack. This fight felt incredibly lack luster, like there was no heavyweight to it. Just pretty animation isn’t going to cut it and as someone who reads the manga, this fight is already almost over.


Ex-fucking-actly that's the only thing bothering me so much. Also it's not the first time it happened, soundtrack was basically absent during the Mereoleona fight as well. Weird, as I don't recall noticing issues like that during Asta's fight versus Ladros or Vetto. They just felt so much more impactful, which is questionable, considering this is the literal WK and THE big bad guy facing off against each other.

I don't know, maybe I'm messed up for being bothered by it so much but it just feels so off

The generic soundtrack of BC literally makes every hype moment seem generic or dull as well. They maybe only nailed a few scenes correctly but overall, the soundtrack is what’s tremendously holding back this anime.

We finally got to see Julius in action, so far I ain't impressed by his magic though! What was more surprising about this episode was the fact that William hosts two souls, which means Yami's hunch was spot on.

William being Licht (or, more excatly, William sharing his body with Licht) wasn't that surprising, considering the series was always hinting they were related (even when he removed his mask to show Yami he wasn't Licht, William still looked suspicious), but, well, it is done and I liked the reveal, so it's all fine.

The battle of Julius and Licht so far has looked pretty good, hopefully next episode they will keep the level. And speaking about next episode,

The new version of the opening is great. I was at first kinda disappointed that Pierrot didn't make a new one after the Spring cour ended, but after seeing this new version, I'm glad they didn't.
Theyll have the new one in August

Ah man 2 banging episodes in a row. Good job black clover. The animation has really been improving as well. That Julius/Litch fight was pretty damn good looking. The reveal was supremely obvious, but at least they added a twist so it's not just like William puts on a wig.

So after all William is really Litch! Maybe Langris isn't the traitor, maybe a experiment from Litch!

We got to see some backstories, and that start of fight was really impressive, i really like figth animation, its finally time to see Julius fighting serious, against Litch, i surely will be and wonderful fight, i just hope Julius dont die!

Hyped for next week for sure!

I'm so glad that I've stayed and watched Black Clover blossom. Amazing episode lets hope that they will be able to execute the next episodes splendidly. Great opening, I'm amazed the difference of its animation to the main story...but heck, I'm still here, anticipating for the next.

I'm glad that Licht wasn't able to overpower Julius, since it would incredibly mess up the power scaling of the series. This was a satisfactory plot development in terms of William's character progression, and I think that overall the episode's summary of previous events and leap in plot was meant to signify the next part of this arc starting.

A very good episode.

A glaring issue I found with this episode is how they went on to say time can't be light, yet the speed of light is measured with time and space/time are considered separate entities; if anything, julius should've been the one with the OP magic as he should be able to slow the speed of light.
Anyway, the animation was good this episode, yet -even though I shouldn't- I'm always comparing black clover to previous shounen... oh yeah, and how was the black bulls unaware of that they're in possession of a magic stone

All of our suspicions were confirmed but I like the way they dealt with it. It gives William a way to still be redeemed. Its hardly his fault that Licht is there too. I dont think Julius is in any real danger. I suspect Yami is going to show up and save the day.

I think everybody knew something was up with William. But I definitely didn't expect that him and Licht share one body. The fight was pretty cool, we got finally the Wizard King in action. His time magic is absolute crazy.

The scene with Yami and these guy who wanted to give him more tea was hilarious :D

I'm not sure about the preview but I would be pissed if something happens to the Wizard King.

There was no other way, but I was still very tense during the reveal. William and Licht sharing a body is something I didn't expect, tho.

The fight is very hype so far and Julius is definitely OP. They still showed a weakness of his, I wonder what happens if he runs out of stored time. Guess Licht will exploit that in a nasty way.

And hahahaha, best Petit Clover episode ever. Also liked the visual changes in the opening.

Looking forward to the rest of the fight, but boy, the Julius death flag is too real. The episode title for 93 is the final nail in the coffin:S

I have no more words to say! the 2nd of this episode is just pure goldlike hype!
2nd half of OP visuals has new content!
The Wizard King is sure overpowered! Time magic is just like cheat! but I know a good series has many twist to make it more interesting and make it a greater show as a whole!
5/5!

Oh God, Julius’s lines were so poetic and ominous. He destroys future therefore he creates them, he’s the ideal Wizard King and his powers are really cool, Time magic bro!

One thing about the animation, the animators are really in sync and getting their own style unique to Black Clover, I loved this eps animation.

Cant wait for the next ep, something big is gonna happen.

Damn, so Yami and Julius weren't doubting for anything... William is the "leader", but damn.

Julius is so strong, after all, he isn't the Magic King for nothing xD Hope he will win! But Yami will come soon for sure.

The concept of a body hosting two souls. Very intriguing.

Despite all the dots, signs and hints that were hard to ignore regarding Vangeance, just like Julius, I also hoped it wasn't true. But oh well. xD

Even the name 'Vangeance' is a hint on its own as it is a reminder of the word 'vengeance' which is very consistent with Licht's current crusade against the humans.

It's nice to finally see Julius finally fighting but I'm very nervous that he is going to die. It's just hard to imagine Licht losing and being killed when their organization are just about to achieve their goal.

I can't believe I just rated Black Clover episodes 5/5 back to back. The revelation was expected (and kind of weak) given how they've been hinting for awhile now. I guess this is why the showrunners couldn't give up on the show even though the first 50 episodes were almost all barely watchable.
