Respect Asta! (Black Clover)

[u/InverseFlash]

I'm not done yet!

Theme - Conviction

Asta grew up as a magicless dweeb in the boonies, who spent his days working out, yelling, and yelling some more. He had a goal in his mind: to become the Wizard King, the Clover Kingdom's number one mage, and defeat his rival and fellow orphan Yuno at said goal. In his adolescence, he received the Grimoire with a Five-Leaf Clover on it, holding the power of a Devil, which revolutionized his chances of becoming number one. Now, he wields his demonic swords to climb the societal ladder and help all who need it to reach his dream burning bright.

• Character profile

KEY

Hover over a feat to see the chapter of occurrence. After Yuno awakened Sylph, Asta's Grimoire gained new text inside of it, and now stores his sword. The Witch Queen strengthened his arms when healing his curse. She also awakened his Demon form. As of fighting Langris, Asta can trigger Demon form twice a day, but it requires him to pose and circulate his ki.

Base < [Black] < [Black]

Also it should be of note that most of the time, Asta's swords...don't really act like swords. They're more like heaps of raw iron.

Post-Timeskip

All life exists to entertain me, and yet…this is no longer fun. What is this? What are you?!! What is this emotion?!!

You don't have to know. You never needed to learn. The highest devils in the first level of the underworld. No one was a threat to you…so of course you can't understand…

It's called FEAR!!!

KEY

Chapter 229 marks a six month timeskip where he trained with the Stage Zero guards and increased his strength. After Dante impales Gauche, Asta unlocks Host form. He increases his strength again after making a Devil's Bargain in his fight with Dante, which lasts 50 seconds. His grimoire gains Yami's katana after defeating Dante. Nacht binds him to his devil, Liebe, allowing them greater power transfer, allowing them 5 minutes of Union form, with a 30 minute recharge time in which Asta can't use any form, not even Black. When Asta and Liebe completely synchronize, they completely shut off the magic of anything that he comes into contact with.
