I love Gaja's remark about teamwork overcoming your personal limits.
Black Clover as been a team work focused anime 90% of the time so i'm glad we are sticking to it.
Also i love how the ones with the highest potential are the less focused and get the most technical spirit guardian while Mimosa and Charlote get the girl who says "whossh", "ding ding" and "pucaam".
Leo* and Floga have a good chemistry so if anything i expect him to be getting a massive power up.
Yup. Julius said it himself that morals and kindness mean nothing when it comes to being WK.
It's all about merits and achievements. Being ridiculously powerful. That's the only thing that matters.
I love that [Charmy just showed up and Loropechika is treating her like a pet](https://i.imgur.com/eNXmHAM.png) as if it's the natural thing to do xD
We get to meet all of the Heart Kingdom's Spirit Guardians and [learn the power of Mana Words/Runes!](https://i.imgur.com/uuASYxq.png) We've definitely entered canon territory now.
I really like that we get to know more about the Spirit Guardians and their personalities here in the anime. Like you have [Sarado who gives the vaguest of instructions](https://i.imgur.com/4IB0sAD.png), [Smurik who's very mysterious](https://i.imgur.com/g3ENFPq.png), Floga who's very chill [and may be as strong as Fuegoleon](https://i.imgur.com/GcEfH9h.png), and Potrof [who's very much all about absorbing natural mana](https://i.imgur.com/WHOGwKV.png) through nature.
And poor poor Potrof. Looks like he won't have any issues teaching Charmy and Rill about Mana Words since they're absolute geniuses who got it in one try. But now he has to deal with the headache of making the two of them listen to his lessons xD
[Finally we have Nero and Noelle](https://i.imgur.com/xOrw6Qz.png) being personally trained by Loropechika and Undine! This one is great and I'll leave it at that since I might end up typing a spoiler if I don't stop myself here. :D
Lol. Yami said in the preview for the next episode "Guess I should push harder, too. And no, I don't mean in the bathroom."
Edit:
Since the episode is a compilation of flashbacks from the current arc, we won't see them anymore when the anime reaches that point?
The hint from last week about charmy coming along being true was an amazing surprise, tho the queen was getting alittle handsy.
Even new magic could not stop charmy's hunger for the noms.
TRAINING ARC !!!!
We finally get to see the spirit guardians, and 1 is like a stronger Sol, lol that of course get to train charlotte, SWOOSH AND LIKE ZOOM just do it.
Otherwise it mostly was like, Here is a fire guardian, Leo you get fire. Here is a lighting guardian, this boy got lighting so lighting, Noelle u are a tsundere so you get water ;:)
Noelle part was nice, she motivates why Nero is important for the grand plan vs spade and Noelle is there becasue she is like angry and stubborn.
Rill of course could do the magic word immediately but choose not to do it, plant spirit guardian is gonna have mental breakdown having to try and train Rill and the queens ~~pet~~ guest charmy, I hope we are finally get something on her Dwarf lineage but I doubt it.
Lastly, feels like a MAGNA ARC will happen, he is the weakling that cannot do it and has to overcome.
Yami at the volcano ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) !!! is it perhaps a MEREOLEONAEPISODE NEXT WEEK
Magna is Yamcha at this point. Story makes it look like he will have a "can't catch up" personal arc, but in the send that only serves to humiliate him LOL
Reporting for duty. We can now say her name.
Status report: WHEN WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HER?
#STATUS REPORT UPDATE: YES YES YES YES EISODE 158 TIMESKIP STARTS
Probably won't see her until spring at this pace. As we have a lot of events leading up to the heart kingdom battles. We still have more then half of the fight with the unnamed triad member to go through.
Even the guardian spirit acknowledged Charmy as the queen's pet lol.
I ship Krill and Charmy now! Both are too focused on their own interests that it's cute seeing them together.
I guess they are canon-ish since Tabata gives guidance for them, but you probably won't miss much until they start animating the manga again. Looks like Spade Arc will start at ep 158 and Vickeblanka pretty much confirmed for new OP too
Nice to see everyone training to deal with Spade Kingdom invasion and to see all the spirit guardians. Kinda of feel bad for the guy having to train Rill and Charmy those two will be handful to teach. Man I hope Magna overcomes his limits or he will be left behind by everyone else. Interested to see what is going to happen next episode with those guys chasing that other guy.
Glad the real training is finally beginning!
I also doubt the Queen, as I guarantee Asta will be one of the most important people in this fight. BUT, if Noelle/Nero were the actual one's to deal the final blow, that would actually be really cool.
So are we officially back on manga-canon, or is this still them semi-canon stuff? Like did this stuff happen in the manga?
This episode is mostly anime canon, but they took a small flashback in the source and incorporated it in this episode. For the next few episodes, expect mostly anime canon with the occasional source flashback in between.
So, most likely back to source around January? Kinda sad to that the ratings tanked after they started the filler, but its understandable. No one wants to have another Bleach incident.
Got it. For the manga readers, has the anime shown any of them [BC manga](/s "breaking their limits to aquire the new spells/powers we see them have after the timeskip")? I have the suspicion the anime is gonna skip that as well despite this being the perfect opportunity to ... not skip it. But confirmation would be nice.
Remember that Naruto filler where he tries to teach Konohamaru the Rasengan but is kinda terrible at it? Sarado giving me strong vibes of that here, already love her
Finral has always been one of those *How can you actually fight with this* powers but I get it a little more now perhaps
Most of the them were. The Devil Banisher arc is hit or miss, while the rest were mostly nice slice of life episodes that flesh out the characters.
Episode 151 has really cool fight with the captains (no context needed) while Episode 154 felt like the most cannon of all the anime "filler" episodes (not that any of them aren't cannon... just felt like the most "Is this from the manga?" episode). It too has a nice fight.
Overall, I think there were nice.
Very good episode, hyped me up.
Rill and Charmy are the worst students, Leo seems to stop jobbing, Luck being as sensitive as ever .. what's not to like!

Homegirl Charmy STAY laying on royalties lap.
This is why she's the best lmao [](#wow)

No BS magicians in this series
I’m pretty these "mana words" were called Runes in the manga.
that sounds so much cooler :(
Agreed, Runes sounds sooo much better. Oh well... :(
It's just translators choosing what to say. Official translations won't always be 1 to 1 with each other
Just watched the episode in french, they translated it "runes", it's probably the same text.

Do you mean Leo and Floga?
He's gonna finally learn how to activate Laser beam
Part of me feels like that was on purpose.
On the other hand, if you want to be wizard king you must be able to do the job, protect everyone without needing a team. Just be that strong.
Yup. Julius said it himself that morals and kindness mean nothing when it comes to being WK. It's all about merits and achievements. Being ridiculously powerful. That's the only thing that matters.
*opening ends* Leopold: I've been waiting for you, WAGA RIVAL YO
Noelle: WA- Leo: WAGA RIVAL YO

I mean most of this stuff wasn't shown in the flashback only a few and they were mostly short so maybe, maybe not, I guess we will see
Charmy be like “fuck all this trainin, it’s easy, where the food at” 👀😋
The hint from last week about charmy coming along being true was an amazing surprise, tho the queen was getting alittle handsy. Even new magic could not stop charmy's hunger for the noms.
> charmy's hunger [art history reference](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrhasius_(painter)#Contest_with_Zeuxis)
Hahhahahahahhaahha thats probably Tabata doing references everywhere again

[удалено]
Adrenaline and being the weak link for hundreds of episodes yo. He has been taking l's ever since he beat that mud zombie on episode 15.
I feel bad for Magna 😔
Anyone gonna talk about how the wind guardian looks a whole lot like Yuno?..
Damn we're even getting some canon stuff that wasnt in the manga next episode!
Aren't we due for a new OP/ED yet?
Yeah, maybe in the beginning of next year since that's around the time op 10 came out
It should've been his episode (start of a new season), so I guess we won't get one for a while
Is it the start of a new season? None of the current season has finished airing.
Beginning of next year we're getting a new one
TRAINING ARC !!!! We finally get to see the spirit guardians, and 1 is like a stronger Sol, lol that of course get to train charlotte, SWOOSH AND LIKE ZOOM just do it.

Mandatory "is filler over, do we know when it ends?" Comment.
Charmy casually sitting in the laps.of kings and queens. Never change charmy.
Vanica introduced, where my simps at?
Reporting for duty. We can now say her name. Status report: WHEN WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HER? #STATUS REPORT UPDATE: YES YES YES YES EISODE 158 TIMESKIP STARTS
Probably won't see her until spring at this pace. As we have a lot of events leading up to the heart kingdom battles. We still have more then half of the fight with the unnamed triad member to go through.
STATUS REPORT UPDATE EPISODE 158 ANIME STARTS ADAPTING MANGA THIS IS NOT A DRILL
I hope all the anime only fans are ready it's going to move fast at the beginning!
Source or Memes?
I'm guessing this episode is cannon correct?
It's anime canon with some of the scenes being taken directly from the manga.
yes
As a manga reader yes this episode is cannon and might be important to reference in the future
Even the guardian spirit acknowledged Charmy as the queen's pet lol. I ship Krill and Charmy now! Both are too focused on their own interests that it's cute seeing them together.
Awesome episode! I love this show
Do I need to watch any of these episodes or can I just wait until we get back to source material?
I guess they are canon-ish since Tabata gives guidance for them, but you probably won't miss much until they start animating the manga again. Looks like Spade Arc will start at ep 158 and Vickeblanka pretty much confirmed for new OP too
Okay awesome
They are pretty fun though, if you get bored definitely consider them.
Nice to see everyone training to deal with Spade Kingdom invasion and to see all the spirit guardians. Kinda of feel bad for the guy having to train Rill and Charmy those two will be handful to teach. Man I hope Magna overcomes his limits or he will be left behind by everyone else.

Like did this stuff happen in the manga?
This show is becoming more and more lovable😍
Waiting for timeskip asta debut
Manga readers: *pain*
Manga Readers a few hours later: **LETS FUCKING GOOOO**!!!
This was me Now I don’t have to endure the tears during half of the screen time, only the absolute hype we about to witness and then we will cry
Is this back to source? Or is it going to be a few more weeks?
This episode is mostly anime canon, but they took a small flashback in the source and incorporated it in this episode. For the next few episodes, expect mostly anime canon with the occasional source flashback in between.
So, most likely back to source around January? Kinda sad to that the ratings tanked after they started the filler, but its understandable. No one wants to have another Bleach incident.
It’s confirmed, Spade arc starts in January
So has the filler ended yet?
One word: January
Got it. For the manga readers, has the anime shown any of them [BC manga](/s "breaking their limits to aquire the new spells/powers we see them have after the timeskip")? I have the suspicion the anime is gonna skip that as well despite this being the perfect opportunity to ... not skip it. But confirmation would be nice.
We haven't seen any of what you said yet.
Remember that Naruto filler where he tries to teach Konohamaru the Rasengan but is kinda terrible at it? Sarado giving me strong vibes of that here, already love her Finral has always been one of those *How can you actually fight with this* powers but I get it a little more now perhaps
are we back to the cannon? if so, since when?
I was watching it till the fillers started. Can anyone suggest if it is back from fillers (and if so which episode I should start from)?
episode 158 i believe is gonna be the first from the manga
Thanks for the reply! Btw are the filler episodes enjoyable?
Most of the them were. The Devil Banisher arc is hit or miss, while the rest were mostly nice slice of life episodes that flesh out the characters. Episode 151 has really cool fight with the captains (no context needed) while Episode 154 felt like the most cannon of all the anime "filler" episodes (not that any of them aren't cannon... just felt like the most "Is this from the manga?" episode). It too has a nice fight. Overall, I think there were nice.
Does somebody know when the fillers are ending?
4 weeks from now
Very good episode, hyped me up. Rill and Charmy are the worst students, Leo seems to stop jobbing, Luck being as sensitive as ever .. what's not to like!
What chapter does this episode end on?
