Whelp, just binged-watched the episodes after the recap(the 4 new eps this season) and boy, were they doozies D0=....
I'm not to keen on Asta's new design. He really went the Yami route with his body type and his clothing style. The super tight tank top is just No. I liked his supertoned-but-slender design, and it really makes no sense he'd get so buff in just 6 months, considering he always did extremely physically demanding exercises before now(1000 push-ups etc), but whatever. Noelle looks a bit cuter with those side-front bangs, and Leo looking less wild and a bit more refined. Others don't look like they changed much. Asta's power gap seemed to jump quite a bit. Can even fly with his anti-magic now. But can't really judge his(and Leo/Luck) power against small fry. I found the (hot?) spring scene incredibly funny =03! Can never get enough of seeing Noelle blushing because of anything Asta-love-related. Also funny reason why Nero always sits on top of his head, even when she doesn't have to . The Yuno revelation wasn't too surprising, but it was interesting at least, as it still leaves to what Asta's true identity really is. And if his no magic attribute truly is "just a genetic coincidence" as the Witch Queen said, or if its something deeper. The Golden Dawn attack though was something else. The Golden Dawn was totally outclassed, and both Yuno and Vangance was outclassed by Zenon(though, Vangance might have been at an even higher disadvantage if his main intention was using his power for reviving his squad members). I had thought Yuno was a bit too full of himself when he declined getting training by the Heart Kingdom, but ultimately figured he'd have new powers or abilities through his own training, perhaps fighting with Sylph instead of Sylph manifesting herself as Yuno's weapon to boost his own strength. His complete loss here makes it appear he hasn't learned anything new(not to say he hasn't been training as it appears they all have been doing something). This should be a wake-up call to him at least. With so many deaths of their strongest squad, I wonder what Julius and the other captains will do? Speaking of which, its really a shame we can't see Julius at his fullest potential because of his rebirth. Maybe he'll get a "Kurama"-style power-up just for this arc so he can join the fray, even for a moment.

Looks like the festivities have started.
I'm surprised he'd go after Yami first. They haven't even mentioned a wick about Julius yet. Everyone should still think he's alive and at full power, but nothing is mentioned as to why they decided to ignore the(supposedly) most powerful mage in the kingdom :thinking:. Still the fight with Asta was nicely animated. Being the current big boss(I assume he's the most powerful of the three), I didn't expect Asta to be able to do too much to him, even if the others were to try and help, but at least he wasn't completely owned like Yuno was(granted, he was still owned, just not as hard). They finally gave some minor glimpse into some subconscious memory of Asta's. Not that it's surprising, but it does intrigue me to see his true origins. I assume next week will have Yami show up at the last second, then shift to show things from the girls' perspective(I don't watch next ep's preview cause it spoilers =01), and how well they'll be able to fend off Vanica/Megicula. Pretty interested to see the true fruits of Noelle's and Nero's training. Quote:

The manga and anime are both still popular, so I assume that since they're getting too close to the manga, they've just decided to shift it to a seasonal model or just come back when there's more manga material. It also probably gives Pierrot a break, especially with the adaption of Bleach's final arc coming up.

I'd just checked the latest manga chapter today to see where it was at and saw that this arc is still ongoing, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this news, but still it's sad knowing that soon I won't get my weekly dose of Black Clover after March.

Well, the Twitter also mentioned that they will make a major announcement after the final episode. It could be a movie, or it could saying that season 2 is announced, probably a year from now.

Ok, so I am almost caught up with the anime after the poor animation in the early episodes made me laugh myself into a year long break, and with 4 episodes left as of this writing and I have to say that I find Asta's new buff design disgusting, especially considering that his muscles don't fit his height or face at all.
Also, can a manga reader please confirm that Charmy goes back to not being fat? I personally don't like that they ruined her like that, especially after we got her hybrid form in the Elf reincarnation arc. At this point Asta is a lost cause, but please tell me that Charmy gets better. And of course, Yuno once again getting all the mysteries because of course he isn't just special enough, he also needs to be a prince... It's the weirdest sense of deja vu, like I have seen something kind of similar before... nah, must be my imagination.

The latest episode was so epic. Never thought Black Clover will ever get to this epic level, but it sure didn't disappoint. Yami!!!! Now that's going too far....
Also, back in episode 162, we get another little hint about Asta's past. It looks like his mom died protecting him. The question is how and why? Why does he not possess magic? Why is a devil possessing him? Too bad the series is ending soon.
