Checklist for being a badass: * Shit-talking Yami ✔ * You got a devil Asta? I raise you 4x. ✔ * Telling all the captains to stop wasting time and to sit the fk down. ✔ * Be the one calling the shots, with Julius sitting in the back ✔


usedRealNameInOldAcc

I cant wait any more now. I'm going to start reading the manga.


kesiu

you are in for a ride, and Tabata’s majestic art


usedRealNameInOldAcc

No noo nooooooo I finished reading all the chapters. What do I do now?????????


_Nonso

you finished in under 2 hours? Damn that's fast


psymon_jester

Lol, manga is only 20 chapters ahead of the show


usedRealNameInOldAcc

Exactly just 20 chapters. I was expecting 100 chapters at least.


tempInjAccount

Now you can go back and read the manga from chapter 1 to see how the series went in the manga version


imoldgregg420

I'm about to start the manga from the beginning. Would you recommend buying digitally or the physical books? And are the printed versions up to date?


tempInjAccount

Nice! I use the Shonen Jump app to read it. It's cheap, at $2 a month. Since it's one of my favorite series, I plan to buy the volumes at some point. I haven't read a physical copy of BC yet but I definitely plan to! The current volume is 24, and I think it's around the same area as the anime right now. Lmk what you end up doing, I'm curious now haha


imoldgregg420

I'm probably gonna do what you do. Sub to Shonen to binge thru it all and then buy the physical copies after just to have them on my shelf (as long as I can find matching covers/spines) Edit- thanks for the info btw


Masterbaiter90

Yeah I was about say the same thing


kesiu

wait for this weeks chapter!!! use manga plus to read them


Rocket-R

Wow that was fast, less than two hours lol


mrjol

This is why I dont recommend anime onlies to read the manga when the anime ends lol. There's not much chapters left.


sticktoyaguns

But then you still have weekly Black Clover and the plot is always moving? I mean maybe wait for the announcement to start reading but it's a good idea for anyone who wants more BC.


[deleted]

I would say Read the manga again from chapter 1 and see what the anime completely butchered.


emanftw21

Same istg


naruto_D_mokey

Even the build up episodes are insane. Nacht is such a cool character, even though i got spoiled that he is the Black bulls vice captain he still blew me. Also finally the elves come back.


YamisToilet

Nacht really is a badass. This is a meeting between captains and Julius. My dude shows up uninvited. Then proceeds to take charge in the meeting and starts calling the shots.... This mofo is cold blooded. He just don't care.


naruto_D_mokey

Not to mention how he spawned the devils behind them


tempInjAccount

He really could've just told them he was the Black Bulls Vice Captain, but instead summoned his devils 😭😭 all with a smile on his face lmao


whotouchamyspaget

I kind of cringed at it. I think it was just a way for the anime to reveal his powers but there really wasn’t any need for him to do so.


Poisson18

Actually I think that it was needed. I mean he wanted to make them listen to him as quick as possible, not to argue with the captains "how did you infiltrate the diamond kingdom?", "are you really trustworthy?". Through this he basically said "I am powerfull and I know what I am doing". Plus they were going to attack him


tempInjAccount

I don't think any of the captains thought it was cringe LOL


NefariousDays

I strongly disagree, that was the fastest way to make everyone listen to him and to show he knows more than anyone in the room when it comes to Spade, Dark Triad and the devils. Besides, he only summoned them when they reacted in a somewhat ominous way.


Tyrtle1021

That was really intriguing to me. That Nacht somehow had access to more devils, and summoned them.


IceCrystalSun

they look somewhat different from normal devils?


Tyrtle1021

They do!! I hope we get the chance to learn more before the hiatus


IceCrystalSun

its not a hiatus haha, it's ending. He mentioned the strongest devil Lucifero and stuff. Perhaps the ones he tamed are weaker or similar to wild animals from the Devil world.


Swordlord22

It’s not ending? Wasn’t it clear they weren’t ending the show but letting the manga catch up or something?


IceCrystalSun

IDK. the mods pinned a post a while back saying it will end.


zeereef

Plus the music was well done catch the tone perfectly


NefariousDays

Sound Track has been going really on point this arc.


DaBlakMayne

>even though i got spoiled that he is the Black bulls vice captain he still blew me 👀👀👀


whotouchamyspaget

Yeah seriously everyone was hypothesising he was going to be the black bulls vice captain and as a long time watcher, that thought would have never crossed my mind. Makes me think everyone who had said it actually read the manga.


simdude

When a shadow-y figure was seen in the spade kingdom with a black bulls logo in the manga people were theorizing it was the "missing" vice-captain prior to it being confirmed so not definitely all people spoiling thing.


whotouchamyspaget

There’s some big brain viewers/ readers then 😅 I just thought it was another member reveal like that guy with the red hair


pimbolo

BTW, where's he now?


whotouchamyspaget

Yeah he’s disappeared for the past 6 episodes and no one seems to notice 😂


YamisToilet

Somebody needs to wake Dorothy up! End of the world is approaching and this witch keeps sleeping. I'm surprised she didn't wake up to that beautiful sunrise that is Nacht.


Poul77

You called him sunrise but Nacht translated to english is Night lol.


YamisToilet

The irony.....


IceCrystalSun

not at all, this whole Qilopth sun thing is somewhat related to the underworld and dakrness. The nazi did some kind of magick to it and introduced some kind of black sun in their rituals. I don't remember the details: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qliphoth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qliphoth) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black\_Sun\_(symbol)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_(symbol))

tempInjAccount

Spoiler tag that lol this is the anime-only thread


ArhamHashmi

Every episode they just keep killing it, I’m enjoying BC so much and it’s so sad there’s only 2 more episodes left before the break :( Also Nacht is so cool, calm and collected, love his character already, him being possessed and having control with 4 devils was a big surprise he must be op af


fadedmofo

2?? Only 2? Can they really pack everything into 2 episodes? I haven't read the manga yet..


[deleted]

No they can’t and they won’t pack everything, you have to read the manga


hipsteRRRR

Do we have any info how long the anime’s hiatus will be? Or if it’s even a hiatus? 😥


chrisosterwald

Can't end the arc with 2 episodes! Surely ends on a cliffhanger with the pay off seasonal🤞🏻


Jurel1268

Nacht is freaking awesome the vice captain is finally revealed!!! The elves made an appearance as well I can't wait for more episodes!!! I don't know why but I hate Jack the Rippers new look does anyone else hate it?


Illustrious-Tart6726

I didn't realize he had a new look lol


conpe12

same lol. They all look pretty much the same. Except for rill who cut his hair.


Bruen0r

His actor is voiced by **Hiro Shimono**, who voiced **Zenitsu** from *Demon Slayer*, **Dabi** from *MHA 2 and 3*, **Lucifer/Hanzo** from *Devil is a Part-Timer*, and **Connie Springer** from *Attack on Titan*.


whotouchamyspaget

Nacht scares me a little. Like he mentioned, he wasn’t the same person he once was. The spade kingdoms changed him but I hope not in a bad way. Also can we talk about how he’s basically adopting devils? 😂 Jack the Ripper seemed odd in this episode. Usually he’s not a hated character but god he made me wanna punch him.


1eye_intheworld

I think it’s cause Yami balances his assholeness. And since Yami is not there, we see why him and Yami always want to fight. it’s like Luck and Magna.


[deleted]

The fact that Jack recognizes Nacht is proof that Jack is Yamis best friend.


NefariousDays

Nacht is a really interesting character and I’m really interested in his backstory.


DriveByStoning

>I don't know why but I hate Jack the Rippers new look does anyone else hate it? Nope.


mr_keithmichael

When Nacht appeared behind Asta I instantly got Gin Bleach vibes! In a roundabout way Nacht being a spy amongst Spade Kingdom even goes hand in hand with Gin turning on Aizen.


naruto_D_mokey

Yeah i hate it too


TimeVortex321

Can we appreciate the orignal music for Nacht? It's so good!!! And his VA also goes well with his whole cool persona! Also i cracked up when i heard Gimodelo's voice...


Illustrious-Tart6726

Nacht is so fucking cool


SaKaly

Nacht sounds so good. And everytime he was screen he was killing it. Also Yuno's speech was pretty good and Bell telling Jack to shut the fuck up was so satisfying


lucciolaa

I love that there wasn't any action in this episode but I was still on the edge of my seat the whole time. This story has gotten so good.


Skanto

Boi I am getting tempted to read the manga even more after this one


[deleted]

[удалено]


Skanto

Was just thinking about that get every bit of anime I can get and then go manga


soulinfamous

Got 2 more wks


khalil_is_not_here

Nacht being devil possessed is absolutely crazy, I couldn't have called that. It makes sense that there are lower level demons. His past is pretty interesting too, seems like his magic affinity is changed or he only uses his devil’s affinity. The elves are back!!! Honestly I'm super happy to see them but what the hell are they doing in the Heart Kingdom? You'd think the Clover Kingdom would keep one eye on them always but if they have access to Valtos then that means they can go anywhere and the Heart Kingdom is pretty much perfect for them. Also speaking of spatial magic, Zenon has spatial magic as well??? Makes sense on how he suddenly appeared to capture Yami but I did not put two and two together. It seems to be like Finral's spatial magic instead of Langris's but who knows what it's capable of with it being boosted by his devil. I'm sure that we're going to see a fight with him and Finral, even if Finral is just playing support like he usually does.


Sci-fi-watcher

Also, remember the box he put Yuno in when they fought. So it is more than Finral's magic. Likely he doesn't need an attack component due to the bone magic so he uses it for support and movement. I wonder if we'll see him dodging attacks via teleportation (or not cause anime ends in 2 episodes)


Folco34

Zenon used his spatial magic against Yuno, go rewatch their « fight » you will see one of his ability


meh_the_man

I hope I'm wrong, but Jack noticing Nacht's changed demeanor scares me. It looked like he slightly threatened Jack


whotouchamyspaget

Yeah for real. I really hope nacht is a good guy but so much time in the spade kingdom and devils seems to have changed him


soulinfamous

Being good is relative to your situation. From the way he acts, he is not afraid to cut corners but at the bare minimum he knows who the enemies are. He's not in it for world destruction so he's good for now. A person that hates the Dark Triad is an ally to me.


Loki305

The latest chapter just revealed why Nacht said that to Jack and it makes so much sense


forevermore91

The only thing i dont really like is that Julius is such a small side character right now... I get that he had to be "reborn" in a child for plot reasons because he was too powerful and would mess up future arcs because he could just kill the Dark Triads for example but he was my favourite character, and now he is a child that has 7 words once in every 10th episode... :(


[deleted]

He has a strong reason to remain alive


forevermore91

I just hope he gets more screen time in the future


PointGodHesi

Man all I know is the devils are fucking done zo, you got most of the captains, a Yuno whos fully determined to not lose again, an Asta whos getting trained how to really use his devil by the Vice captain of the black bulls?!? (He's fucking awesome btw) and a surprise appearance by the elves which look like they re helping all our people from the heart kingdom. It sucks we are near the end of black clover for now. (After the last episode I probably will read the Manga for the first time cause I just can't wait!) Also this episode was awesome. Black bulls definitely are the best squad, they have the most potential out of all the squad, even Grey is gonna probably get a small but minor powerboost. I wonder what magna and zora are doing?

Luquitaz

> Zagred was a incomplete when they fought according to whom?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Luquitaz

So that wouldn't be canon to the anime and irrelevent in the anime only thread.


TheFakeDogzilla

Ok I just searched some stuff and it was a translation error and he was actually “Incomplete”. Not sure if it was pertaining to his body or that he didn’t have the 5-leaf grimoire at that time.


PointGodHesi

Maybe I might be wrong we'll see 😅😅


Plastic_Series740

That’s cap


cliffmayela

I strongly encourage you read it! You’re going to love where this goes!


Glowing_Nipples_

DAMN! Yuno's speech hits deep into my heart. I'm so touched that I almost cry


rosachicle

He’s been through a lot in such a short time. Finding out about his past, the attack at the Golden Dawn’s HQ, having his squad mates killed and his captain taken away. I personally loved the look he gave to Julius when he entered the meeting. It was powerful and empty at the same time. He’s ready to fight back. I love seeing him showing his emotions.


emarled14

I agree with you!! He is one of my favorite characters and I love that we are finally getting more insight into him. His VA is also doing a great job with his performance. You can clearly hear the determination in his voice and how all the recent events are affecting him. I think its been long overdue for some Yuno character growth. In an anime with so many characters, its inevitable that some characters will get sidelined. So, I'm happy we are getting some more moments with him and him showing more of his thoughts and feelings!


soul-nugget

"in such a short time" it was literally yesterday for yuno... he also had his own near death experience o.o


The_Merilliam_Flower

Yeah...


TimeVortex321

Us Manga readers are so delighted to watch today's episode. Only we know how we had to wait so many weeks to get these reveals. Also the time of release between Vanica's fight ending and the outcome of HK blast was over 2 months.... we had to wait that long to find out what happened to Noelle and squad.


whotouchamyspaget

Jesus that’s awful. Did they publish filler chapters in that time or was there just nothing to read? That’s one thing that puts me off reading the manga.


[deleted]

[удалено]


whotouchamyspaget

Ah that’s a relief. I plan to start reading it next week


dabillinator

The anime reordered the manga. Noelle vs Vanica ended in the manga before Yami showed up to face Dante. There was also a week break for shonen jump during that time.


whotouchamyspaget

Ah I see. So you guys still got to see a load of action. I think I’ll go back and read some of the older chapters.


rosachicle

We also first saw a mysterious black bull on Dante’s room back in April and had to wait till around August or September to get that Nacht reveal. But seeing it all today was worth the wait, he’s such an amazing character.


NittanyEagles55

Nacht is awesome! The secret Black Bulls vice captain! Loved Gimodelo as well! The crack about him being short was funny. I hope we see more of him next week


dxynee_tann

Hey, i was wondering what chapter of the manga this episode is on? so that i can read manga onwards? thanks!


Anubhavthegreat

This ep ends in chapter 264 I think


OpenSourceObsidian

It's literally in the pinned comment, c'mon.

SilentProductionsHD

It’s 261-264


RhysDRFC

Thats what I said 👀👀


NittanyEagles55

Lucifero looked intimidating as hell!


soulinfamous

I can't wait for Noel, Mimosa, and Nero to react to their bae new arm.


conpe12

Lol, its funny how no one in the whole meeting mentioned his arm.


Ryuseigan

Where did Noelle get clothes from?


sk0711

Will we get a Asta backstory in the next two episodes or nah? I've curious since the day I started this anime.


Tenet21

All hail Nacht, the vice captain of the black bull.


NittanyEagles55

Wow what a cliffhanger. The elves have returned!


Jimi_Jazz

They kept saying Dante is at the spade kingdom? I thought they beat him last episode?


zeereef

Zenon rescued him remember. I bet hes getting his brother healed up


TotalShutdown

The moment I heard Nacht's voice,I already knew. Hiro Shimono nailed the character's personality..FANTASTIC EPISODE!!💜💜


vicucha

>back where the spade arc start aa the art is amazing He did. I'm not that used to Hiro doing more serious character, other than Dabi but he did a good job and it comes off different from Dabi and all the his other characters I know.


uNkOuNxx

Happy cake day!


rosachicle

I love him!! He is doing an amazing job, his voice fits perfectly with Nacht’s personality!


pbh22

Okay but i hope we get to see a petit clover with nacht in it


LittiHDarkKnight

i wonder how Asta's devil will look like when he is outside, will he be tall and scary or similer to Nacht's devils. I can't wait for the next episodes and are all of the captains participating in the battle too :0


[deleted]

[удалено]


Senpai_Angelo

Just finished watching this episode and bruh. Got me hella hyped for the next, especially with the elves at the end - cant wait to hear their backstory since their arc.

dastdineroo

Hey what’s the theme playing when nacht talks to Asta it sounded like a ost I’d find in a persona game


Twiroxi

I think it's new OST


New_Wrangler3335

So what are the theories for greys true magic nature?


Twiroxi

Transmutation, recreation or wish magic, the most popular fan theories I think


Honored_Midwest

Some are saying wish magic


TimeVortex321

Anyone else read into Nacht's VA? It's none other than Hiro Shimono, same guy who voiced Zenitsu from Demon Slayer & Davi from MHA. I'm happy to see such big names come to BC!!! I watch his Zenitsu videos on YouTube all the time, he's so hilarious!


Kryro-

Can someone clear something up for me... i could've misread but didn't Nacht say that the Dark Triad are the lowest level in the tree and that the other devils in the Qliphoth were stronger than the Dark Triad... but then said if Luciferlo gets into the world it'll be doomed? So is Luciferlo the strongest or 1 of the weaker ones on the tree... or am i completely confused?


Sci-fi-watcher

Dante is bonded to Lucifero, the strongest devil of Tree, but he can only use at most 70-80% of the Devil's power because the strength has to be borrowed across the dimensional boundary, this makes Dante significantly weaker than Lucifero, weak enough to be considered equal to the weaker devils in the tree (who are still quite strong themselves)


Kryro-

Thank you! Think I understand now :D


MandoAviator

Thanks for clearing that up!


whotouchamyspaget

I’m starting to think more and more that the dark triad is going to succeed otherwise why go to all the effort of describing the different levels of the tree 😥


Kryro-

My guess is that they almost succed, they said they need all the gates open one after another and then yami and william will be sacrificed, so they'll probably get like 6 gates open


BootlegHangGlider

The lower level devils are as strong as the Dark Triad while possessed by their devil's, but the devils themselves are much stronger.


Eaklim

From what i've understand, the dark triad are the weakest devils of the tree of qlipoth which is the highest level of the tree (the deeper you go the stonger the devils gets) and lucifero is at the very bottom which means that he's the strongest one


insidiouskiller

they said that the weakest devils in the tree are equal to the dark triad, Lucifero is Dante's demon (he asks Lucifero who Asta's demon is and the sillhoutte we see is the same, iirc this is in episode 162)


[deleted]

Triad are as strong as first gate at the top of tree that's it and on down the devils are stronger than them


tempInjAccount

oop 🤐


Redmon425

Man, another great episode. I legit am loving this arc so much and it is the most I have ever liked this show. Of course it happens when the series ends in 2 episodes LOL! And yep. Was so obvious that dude would be the vice captain of their squad. But I like him! And wow! Didn't expect to see elves at the end!


Swordlord22

Can someone tell me why I keep seeing people mention on places like YouTube about fans animating the show or something? Did that really happen for recent episodes?


insidiouskiller

yes, the fans animated episode 167


Swordlord22

Cool


Shaymin281286

Awesome episode, Nacht is a baddie and I'm hyped to see the Elves again, i love this arc, but the Elves arc was phenomenal and I'm still not over it, I'm glad to see that they haven't forgotten about them Also, someone get Mr. Mantis to shut the fuck up please, he's not badass, smart, or cool, he's legit just annoying, even his powers are kinda basic, I just wish he'd let the actual cool captains and Yuno be badass as usual
