The story of the the men, father-son like relationships, and brother-brother like relationships was absolutely fantastic, 10 out of 10. However all the disgusting stuff made me rate this a 7. I would have rated it worst, but the good manly stuff was so good. The ending battle where father-like figure says he needs his son-like figure, and son is helped by father and son feels he's holding father back, but father keeps him in. And father even gives his only weapon and puts all faith in son, not because son is stronger but he just has something that is right for the battle. I really love the respect for that father-like figure by all, but the son-like figure has the most. So so brilliant, so touching. Absolutely love the shared skills and attributes between father-like and son-like. I see wizard king father-like to captain son-link and captain father-like to Asta son-like. Absolutely love negation of magic. Love how dark magic is so awesome and even has hints of this negation. I really think dark magic is strongest and really want to see it more. Love how father gets the strongest magic, of course father wants son stronger but it's great. Even time magic, father like figure is as just a bit stronger than dark magic from what we've seen so far. But I really like how the fathers save and nurture the son's strength. The final battle was the best, father like figure didn't get defeated, he really beat an immortal multiple times but then couldn't end it due to immortality. Son's more enhance ability of anti magic was key. And even in the battle father figure kept saving son and helping build synergy. That last battle was my favorite and seeing the admittance by the enemy that father-like figure abilities and skills and strategies surpass his own, is awesome. The way father said to son he needs him and and son faught together in sync was so incredible. Boosting each other up. And even in the most intense part father went even harder and son was in awe as father with bare hands (well dark magic enhanced strength) flipped the enemy and tore off his arm. And just son wanting to live up to hopes and expectations and going beyond. And even that brotherhood between devil and son. And final touch of son losing all weapons and father saving son last second and throwing him his only weapon putting all faith in him, and throwing his son forward and son doesn't let him down. Just absolutely beautiful father son relationship stuff there, ideal ideal. And after that son fell panting and father just held him up. Still bummed at how father got captured, he saw it coming and he's fast too but just tiny slip and he was all tired, still I think the show had to do it for drama. I'm still thinking that father saw his magic tree brother captured and let himself be captured so he can save his brother. (although I think father could have saved his brother with another fight, he wasn't panting like son, but I guess producers/writers need some story to tell, just hope they keep pushing fathers and brothers and sons to the top in all things, strength, valor, love, brotherhood). Just so so so heart touching and beautiful.
Absolutely hate:
* Too much "independent strong women" which is the most unfeminine and ugliest women. But all but one was so mushy in love and embarrassed and shy like a real feminine women in front of certain men was real nice. Which is true, lots of those strong aggressive independent and whatever else unfeminine characteristics you can find, are all things women do to hide their true mushy feminine nature because they're that shy.
* It's not even manly attributes in the women, they are making them insulting and hateful to others especially men. Like always calling stupidsta.
* I have no idea why they made so many "arcane stage" they should be the weakest to be good attractive women. Although Black Clover does good to still make the men the strongest, I really hope they end on this strong story of fathers and sons and brothers of strength and care and love for each other and mankind.
* Too much of this "women" stuff. Every time a women got stripped or attacked, that's when the cavalry shows up to save the her. Rather than save mankind. Hated that.
* Not a single woman was beat by a man, only other women beat women. While they had the opposite even disgusting cuck with a douche-bag like creature ruled by a female devil.
* Seeing this cuck men and manly women was disgusting. It didn't even add to the show. This show was made by the father-son relationship and brother-brother relationships.
