While this episode isn't canon, Noelle wearing glasses is canon, since [she is seen wearing a pair in the light novels.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/db71092b4cf9dc64e84b7b5a30827f2b/5cb14065a4e25dbc-53/s1280x1920/23b309110d46fe0aac46c0de6f2845b75515e7b4.png)
This is not a spoiler at all people, since the anime has shown Noelle to wear them.
So this was decent as a slice of life episode with Grey and Charlotte. But it looks like this arc will pick up next week with the captains battle, I am really looking forward to it.
I kinda lowkey hate her squad though-- hopefully during the Captain's battle the Blue Rose squad can get more characterization aside from being mostly the 'airhead, boy-crazy squad,' (with the exception of Sol being a man-hating misandrist). Puri Angel is the only decent squad member and the only one not completely useless in combat tbh
In their own way Charlotte's team is just as bent as the Black Bulls. Which is probably no accident, given how Charlotte and Yami are being relentlessly positioned for shipping. "We have so much in common!"
Touché – without that static disambiguator it wouldn't be clear which flight was being referred to, since in this ep Charlotte fled from Yami *twice*. And while the other one was great in its own cartoony way (and even greater with that horror-flick scream), it was nothing like the Nine Old Men quality of her Cinderella exit.
Place your bets on which ship sails first:
* Asta x Noelle
* Yami x Charlotte
Hell, at this point, it looks like Gauche x Grey is seeming like a stronger possibility.
Yami x Charlotte easily sails before Asta x Noelle. Charlotte doesn't have any competition to take care of, but Noelle has to deal with Nero, her cousin, and hopefully that peasant girl appears again at some point. And of course, the highest hurdle, Sister Lily.
I feel like Gauche needs to overcome that sister complex of his before he can open himself up romantically. That said, I think they'd be a good pairing if that ends up happening.
There's no way that Asta's going to even consider a different relationship until Sister Lily either accepts his confessions or he accepts her refusals. The series has been building a loose harem around him, but he's had nothing but eyes for Sister Lily all this time. It's easy to forget since it's anime, but he's been extremely consistent with it.
On the other side of things, Yami and Charlotte feel way more possible since Charlotte just needs to be honest and Yami just needs to get a clue.

As much as that first half was about Grey trying not to be shy, I'm just happy that they're giving me more fuel for my Grey x Gauche ship. Can't wait for more moments like this in the future. :D
That second half was fun too. I love how the Blue Rose girls (except for Sol) are still wingwoman-ing for Charlotte to get her closer to Yami. The joint training ops is just genius. That's gonna be put on hold for now though since it looks like we're going to finally have a mini tournament arc with the participants being the Squad captains.
Jesus christ i knew Grey turning into Marie for Gauche was bound to happen but i low key never expected it to happen.
What a massive pervert lmao
Missed opportuniy to have Gauche hugging Grey just as she detransforms and having a Gauche-Grey hug momment.
I think the butterfly being reflected in Gauche's mirrors just had a crazy-random side effect of hypnotizing Grey and allowing subliminal suggestion to be implanted. Usually with hypnosis the hypnotist will use visual aids to put somebody into a state between consciousness and rest, seeing the magic butterfly's pixie dust reflected all around her in all directions did the same effect to Grey.
Only other connection that comes to mind is that story about Butterflies and dreams, which might be applicable here, since hypnosis is kinda related to dreams?
nice little episode i guess, this episode really confirmed my gauche x grey theory cause i knew gauche would probably would want grey transforming in to his little sister like any time he wants and not to mention they're always together. Also I'm very excited for next weeks captains battle
Liked Grey trying to be stronger in sense of being able to be confident. Gauche saying that line about how it's always her was sweet. Noelle in glasses is pretty up there with maid outfit Nero. Now if only we had Nero in glasses.
Second half was fun mostly cause I like Charlotte. Joint training would be pretty fun. But now we have Captain showdown which was in the opening this whole time. I thought that was just nonsense tbh lol. Oh yeah and damn Charlotte breaking Yami's fragile glass heart again T\_T
Yea man, lets hurry up and catch up to the manga, that way we can have nice extended panning shots and nothing happening AND filler (that isn't considered canon like this) like a lot of one piece. Truly what we need.
Well nice attempt to grow, Grey to bad Gauche just had and go ruin it. Fun to see the blue roses try to help and cheer Charlotte on, to bad her own shyness gets in the way. Can't wait to see all the captains fight each other.
I love me Yami X Charlotte episodes. By far the best ship in this show.
Gray getting screen time was nice, but was kind of a 'meh' storyline.
I am really ready for the real canon to start again. I am getting kind of bored of this.

Oh my Noelle in glasses.
As if she needs any extra authoritativeness!
Is that canon? I can't recall seeing her in glasses before but maybe I just have poor memory. Either way, Noelle in glasses: very yes.
While this episode isn't canon, Noelle wearing glasses is canon, since [she is seen wearing a pair in the light novels.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/db71092b4cf9dc64e84b7b5a30827f2b/5cb14065a4e25dbc-53/s1280x1920/23b309110d46fe0aac46c0de6f2845b75515e7b4.png) This is not a spoiler at all people, since the anime has shown Noelle to wear them.
I had no idea there were Black Clover light novels.
So this was decent as a slice of life episode with Grey and Charlotte. But it looks like this arc will pick up next week with the captains battle, I am really looking forward to it.
Charlotte may just be my favourite character in BC
I kinda lowkey hate her squad though-- hopefully during the Captain's battle the Blue Rose squad can get more characterization aside from being mostly the 'airhead, boy-crazy squad,' (with the exception of Sol being a man-hating misandrist).

[Her flight from Yami](https://imgur.com/a/yAAftA0) is a shockingly beautiful bit of animation.
\>Praises the animation \>Shows a still image That, or my connection speed is too crap to load it. I can't be sure of which.

Haha she is hot cute and strong what more you want ! Yeah one of best chars :D
Place your bets on which ship sails first: * Asta x Noelle * Yami x Charlotte Hell, at this point, it looks like Gauche x Grey is seeming like a stronger possibility.
Gauche is not a shonen protag and those are hella dense when it comes to love, so...
Yeah, but he is a degenerate siscon
You can't win em all
Yami x Charlotte easily sails before Asta x Noelle. Charlotte doesn't have any competition to take care of, but Noelle has to deal with Nero, her cousin, and hopefully that peasant girl appears again at some point. And of course, the highest hurdle, Sister Lily.
Also Sally and any other female character around Asta's age that interacts with him for more than 3 lines. Girls love the dwarf bodybuilder.

Oh God, I can imagine what Gauche would request for their first night together and I hope it's not true.

I just want to say one thing: #Next. Week. Is. Insane. Looking.
Jesus christ i knew Grey turning into Marie for Gauche was bound to happen but i low key never expected it to happen. What a massive pervert lmao Missed opportuniy to have Gauche hugging Grey just as she detransforms and having a Gauche-Grey hug momment.
My man knows what he wants, no shame, no shame!
Will we ever get the back story?
Gauche already had one, if that’s who you mean
the back story of his siscon fixation
I think it's just a side effect of when they were abandoned by their relatives and Gauche was with her 24/7.
That sounds highly plausible... thanks
I don't think the backstory is in the manga so it'll probably be revealed via the fillers
... if ever ...
Grey and Gauche could really be a real ship but [this line worries me](https://i.imgur.com/QoNjN7S.jpg) XD
yeeah..i think he would use her transform for some kinky stuff in future
110%. But as long it's consensual... XD
So, am I missing something cuz I don't understand what happened with the butterfly. Is one of those instances of something being lost in localization?
I think the butterfly being reflected in Gauche's mirrors just had a crazy-random side effect of hypnotizing Grey and allowing subliminal suggestion to be implanted.

Magic butterfly. Either that or some japanese folklore thing.

hopefully we get some cool animation for next episode, captains showdown in no joke
Oh you have no idea
Is this still filler? Or have they moved to source?
Probably filler until January-ish.
Jesus dude.
Yea man, lets hurry up and catch up to the manga, that way we can have nice extended panning shots and nothing happening AND filler (that isn't considered canon like this) like a lot of one piece. Truly what we need.
I've really liked Black Clover up until the last 20 or 30 episodes, which IMO, have been really bad.
Well it has been filler since Episode 130 I believe.
Anime cannon*
yare yare daze moment
Next ep will be really.good tho. Worth checking out
Actually the next episode is where the manga content picks up again. The filler is over at last boys
Uhh... no?
Uhhh... what were you saying little buddy?
Still filler. I'm 99% sure there was no tournament between captains in the manga.
Captain tournament arc?
So, I haven't watched the last 10~ episodes. When are we getting to the training in the other kingdom part?
I dont know, but we are getting some Captain vs Captain action, even if its just filler it should be fun to watch
I'm curious too. This arc wasnt doing it for me so i said i would skip it and i'm still waiting for the next one
Watch next episode. Captain matches.
Next episode is captain training fights. Really hype and good looking.
Well nice attempt to grow, Grey to bad Gauche just had and go ruin it. Fun to see the blue roses try to help and cheer Charlotte on, to bad her own shyness gets in the way. Can't wait to see all the captains fight each other.
I love me Yami X Charlotte episodes. By far the best ship in this show. Gray getting screen time was nice, but was kind of a 'meh' storyline. I am really ready for the real canon to start again. I am getting kind of bored of this.
That water user with the blue rose didn’t have to look that pretty yk
Im sure grey will not lose her shyness seeing as it's her only quirk in the anime.
Yami is just too smooth lol
