Black Clover

The Devil Banishers announce that they will judge Nero and Marie in public. Julius then orders the Black Bulls and other Magic Knights to go rescue them. The Magic Knights place themselves among a crowd that clearly hates the devil, and then the Devil Banishers appear. They then demand that the devil-possessed Asta show himself.

Though the Magic Knights were able to save Marie from the Devil Banishers, Nero is taken once again and Asta’s 5-leaf clover grimoire is also stolen. Suddenly, they receive a message from one of Damnatio’s subordinates and learn the true identities of the Devil Banishers and Julius orders the Black Bulls yet again to save Nero. The Black Bulls begin their investigation in the town where they think the Devil Banishers were gathering. Will they be able to find out what the enemy’s true motive?

Asta, Noelle, and Magna manage to catch up to the Devil Believers who had taken Nero. But they find that the Devil Believers have now grown in numbers. Magna goes back to tell Yami of the situation. Asta and Noelle are left behind and try to do what they can to save Nero. But it appears that the Devil Believers have made up their minds on achieving their goal, even if it costs them their lives.

Asta and Noelle are captured along with Nero and they head toward the strong magic region near the border when Captain Yami and Magna arrive. Captain Fuegoleon and Captain Nozel also show up, causing the Devil Believers to panic. The captains try to talk to the Devil Believers, but their distrust for them is just too strong. The Devil Believers try to bring their powers together in order to face the Magic Knight captains.

The incident with the Devil Believers had come to a close. This whole incident ends up hurting Nero, who witnessed the pain the Devil Believers felt from having less mana and reminds her of her time with the first Wizard King, Lumiere and the magic item he was trying to create to get rid of discrimination in their kingdom. She then gets summoned by Julius. Meanwhile, Asta and the others receive a message saying that the Heart Kingdom and the Spirit Guardians were ready to train them for their fight against the devil.

To prepare for the upcoming battle against the devil, the Black Bull Grey decided that she needed to get over her shyness and be able to face her friends first before anything else, so she asked Noelle to mentor her. However, things aren’t going very well. Next, Grey tries to get Gauche to help her, since they had fought together in the past. For this training, she walked around town with him when it was crowded, but then they saw a panicked Charlotte run by.

The Magic Knight Squad Captains end up doing a team battle due to Julius’ suggestion. Since the citizens are still weary after the attack by the Eye of the Midnight Sun, they want to prove that they still mean to protect the kingdom and its citizens. The Magic Knights watch in anticipation as their captains split up into two teams and go all out in this battle.

Asta and Noelle go to see the Magic Knight Entrance Exams with Yami. The testing site and the anti-birds that gather there are rather nostalgic to Asta and remembers his own experience at the exams last year after seeing the hopefuls from this year.

The Magic Knight Squad Captains gather for a meeting and for an award ceremony with the king later. At the meeting, they decide that Asta, Nero, Noelle, Luck, Finral, Mimosa, Leopold, Charlotte and Rill will be going to the Heart Kingdom to train with the Spirit Guardians. At the award ceremony, Yuno advances very quickly in rank.

Though Vangeance, the Captain of the Golden Dawn, had asked Langris to return to his duties as vice captain, he continues to distance himself from the squad. Yuno had suddenly moved up all the ranks at a decoration ceremony and Langris asks him to fight him. The rest of the squad seems shocked, but Yuno accepts Langris’ request and fights him and they have a fierce battle. But during their fight, Yuno seems to have some doubts with how Langris is fighting.

Asta and Yuno were abandoned together at the same church and have been inseparable since. As children, they promised that they would compete against each other to see who would become the next Emperor Magus. However, as they grew up, some differences between them became plain. Yuno was a genius with magic, with amazing power and control, while Asta could not use magic at all, and tried to make up for his lack by training physically. When they received their Grimoires at age 15, Yuno got a spectacular book with a four-leaf clover (most people receive a three-leaf-clover), while Asta received nothing at all. However, when Yuno was threatened, the truth about Asta’s power was revealed, he received a five-leaf clover Grimoire, a “black clover”! Now the two friends are heading out in the world, both seeking the same goal!

While Asta and the others were training in the Heart Kingdom, back in the Clover Kingdom, Yami asked Mereoleona to help him train. They start their training immediately and Yami is no match against Mereoleona who is a master at using Mana Zone. Meanwhile, the Spade Kingdom’s forces continues to draw nearer as it continues its invasion.

Months after arriving at the Heart Kingdom, Asta still doesn’t have any magic, but he’s become more powerful at an alarming speed due to his training with the Spirit Guardians. Anti-magic is one of the magic attributes that falls into the “Arcane Stage” and is needed to defeat the devil. And because of that, Gaja asks Asta how exactly he obtained the five-leaf grimoire.

The Spade Kingdom successfully takes over the Diamond Kingdom and then sets their sights on the Clover Kingdom and Heart Kingdom. The Spade Kingdom troops get through the strong magic region using a mobile fortress which sucks up the mana of the Spade Kingdom citizens who were taken by force. But then Asta, who had finished his training with the Spirit Guardians, comes to the rescue! Meanwhile, Luck and Leopold head to the Spade Kingdom in order to try to take over one of their bases.

For some reason, Charmy, who had tagged along with Asta and the others to train in the Heart Kingdom, keeps trying to eat up all of the food in the Heart Kingdom. Asta tries to take her back and goes to the forest Charmy is last seen. However, Charmy had also trained with the Spirit Guardians and had become even more powerful. Meanwhile, Yuno is contacted by Sister Lily and heads back to his home village of Hage.

Asta and Yuno were abandoned in front of the church in Hage Village, a village in the outskirts of the Clover Kingdom. And now, we finally find out the truth behind Yuno’s birth! Meanwhile, while Vice Captain Yuno was away, the Golden Dawn’s headquarters was attacked by the Spade Kingdom. Despite being the most powerful squad out of the Magic Knights, they might have finally met their match.

After hearing about the Golden Dawn members being in trouble, Yuno hurries back. When he returned, their headquarters had been destroyed and many of the squad members were near death. Yuno’s rage explodes. Meanwhile, the members who can still fight are doing their best to hold up against the attackers that includes one of the members of the Dark Triade, Zenon, and his minions.

The War against the Spade Kingdom begins in earnest as the Heart Kingdom and Black Bulls come under attack by Dante and Vanica of the Dark Triad.

Grey reminisces on her past. Meanwhile the fight between Dante and Asta is continuing!

Vanica has arrived to kill the Queen of the Heart Kingdom and revealed their plan to unleash an army of demons into the world. Thanks to Megicula’s curse magic Vanica has restored to full strength all the Dark Disciples everyone had fought so hard to defeat. But Noelle, Mimosa, and Nero will push past their limits and show the results of their long training; For Aceir Silva, for the world, and for their precious friend, Lolopechka.

As the situation in the Heart Kingdom deteriorates beyond belief, Captain Yami Sukehiro pushes past his limits.

As the battles in the Heart Kingdom begin to come to an end, Asta and Yami decide to work together as they continue in their fight against Dante Zogratis of the Dark Triad.

Yami and Vangeance are taken to the Spade Kingdom so that the ritual to open the gate to the underworld can begin. Despite how hurt he is, Asta tries to escape the infirmary to go and save Yami, however he is stopped by a mage named Nacht Faust, who also happens to be a devil-possessed. He offers to show Asta how to use his devil powers even better. Meanwhile, the Magic Knight Squad Captains hold an emergency meeting. The Golden Dawn has almost been completely annihilated, and Yuno shows up to the meeting, showing new resolve.
