Yeah. There's a reason for that. A protagonist needs to be someone the audience can and wants to root for. Who's active and achieves things for their effort.

i actually like him as a protagonist, but too bad that the manga went to shit.
Dylan Martinez
Haven't read far myself, but the books didn't seem to care about rewarding that hard work or not. Seemed more like just destiny type shit.
Joshua Martin
This, shitty Walmart Naruto with some LN tier harem protag mixed in
Julian Robinson
He’s not even a good underdog because he has a counter to rest of the cast
Xavier Russell
>wah I'm going to be a magic king >cool what magic can you do >um I can smash and suck stuffs with anti-magic which is not actual magic
Wyatt Cooper
It's pretty fucking obvious that the series will end with Yuno becoming the Majikage (Hokage of Magic = Magic King) and Asta, since he's not a mage, will instead be voted in as the King of the Clover Kingdom.
This show is generic, with a generic protag, and you are making the world a worse place by giving it attention, ratings, or money.
Consider playing in traffic
Luke Garcia
this is why people should read Black Clover, it's better than My Hero Academia
Connor Jenkins
Anti-magic is not new but Mx0 does it better.
Levi Rodriguez
Honestly I miss his yelling. I read the manga before but no other shonen protagonist had sounded like a car engine, and it was beautiful.

Angel Mitchell
Literally cannot get any more generic than that.
Isaac Young
Why is it so hard for modern shounens to create good protagonists? Asta and Deku kinda both copy Naruto's architype(but in different ways, of course), yet can't even stand close to him. And that's not just about these two. I haven't seen a decent new WSJ main character in a really long time. They all are either annoying or being pushed by plot rather than moving it themselves
Easton Jenkins
I wish there were more shonen protagonists who really just work around their disability instead of being an underdog and then getting something special anyways. I thought japan loves the working hard message?
Evan Ross
The best ones are like Denji. Basically a blank slate that gets filled as the series goes on.
Elijah Gray
>A protagonist needs to be someone the audience can and wants to root for.
Naruto fails at that, desu. Gon, too. Deku too. I don't like any of these guys. The best protagonist is Goku
Jonathan Robinson
Idk. I myself hated Goku, rooted for Naruto(for the most part, more rarely during the later chapters), was bored by Gon and only cared about him in context of his relationship with Killua, and kinda rooted for Deku in the first few arcs, but hate him now
Actually even worse. He's got a personality of a wet towel.
Daniel Turner
Yeah. I don't know how you should read this to think that Yuno is anywhere close to Sasuke in terms of personality(or anything else really). Sasuke was lots of things, but he was an unforgettable and distinctive character for damn sure Unlike the bland pointless furniture that is Yuno
Jack Sullivan
>Defending "yeah sorry" to try to shit on bc KYS sage
Goku: was not really an underdog, people didn't doubt his talent. Yusuke: was a delinquent, people didn't doubt his talent. Naruto: not swole, not a particularly hard worker. Luffy: not an underdog, not a hard worker. Ichigo: not an underdog, not a hard worker.
The demon specifically presented himself to Asta due to his despair at the moment offering a possible body and his latent potential as a magicless freak.
Dylan Johnson
How hard does a character have to work before it doesn’t count as “being handed his success”?
Ethan Cooper
might as well pull up a picture of any asian or western royalty with advisers in a throne room.
Naruto was a messiah with insane chakra because of his hax fox with the best genetics. Ichigo was 1/4 everything. Genetic legend. Goku was a dumb /fit/ autist with an insane genetic ability to always get stronger. Kenshiro was heir to literal magic kungfu.
A lot of shonen heroes seem like underdogs but mostly are just op they just don’t know it yet, and after doing a training arc unlock heir full potential or are handed op powers. Asta so far hasn’t been revealed to be the chosen one/genetic genius. He’s all hardwork so it’s enjoyable.
Connor Brooks
Imagine having self-esteem so low you self-insert as an annoying brat with the OP anti-mahou that DEMs his enemies from a manga aimed at 13 year old nips.
Hudson Evans
Lets start with not having a magical book literally fly though a wall to hand you broken ass demon powers with no downside?
If his anti magic was an entire field around him sure. He has to be able to react to magic attacks and shield himself with his sword. Has to get close to enemy wizards while they can do all sorta wizard shit. You never play dnd? Quadratic wizards linear fighters. He’s an underdog
Charles Fisher
they tell you every fucking arc that he is just a genetic failure for not having mana and being hated by mana itself, yet autists still theorize he is a demon lord son of god
>getting an anti-magic sword that only you can use isn't being the chosen one or a genetic genius why are BCfags so fucking delusional?

This, literally the FIVE leaf clover even more special than the four leaf clover. Plus the powerful demon inside, calling Asta an underdog despite this dumb

Nah. Asta will learn muscle magic and cast fist against any naysayer. He’ll die a virgin because muh sista lily, after being magic king after Yuno dies
Kevin Moore

Asher Ross

Justin Wood
Honestly it makes for a nice change of pace. Fags wanna shit on it because they’re older and seen the same tropes used before, but it’s a literal Mongolian kids flip-book, why do you expect anything more than what it is is beyond me. I just hope he keeps Asta as being some genetic failure who has no grand fate or whatever. Just a good kid who works out a lot
kys you edgy retard, literally 99% of the side characters are more interesting.
Cameron Foster
Black Clover did it better and with better art too
Sebastian Evans
>five leaf clover >sword that negates, absorbs, deflects magic >demon inside grimoire that gives him upgraded stats without much struggle or character growth >learns ki easily >large harem despite the first chapter of the series pointing out all these flaws that make him annoying Definitely not an underdog, closer to a Mary Sue
Adrian Bailey
>we don't know it fucking isn't, stop talking shit, he literally took back one of his swords and removed the antimagic
Easton Butler
Can someone explain the speed feats in this show? Like Yami, how is he moving faster than light without tearing his clothes apart as well as destroying the surrounding area? Nips don't even care at this point
And none of that would have mattered if he didn't got the strongest book because well, he is the mc. Same shit as Midoriya, or Naruto.
Kayden Stewart

Luke Morgan

Lucas Thomas
>without much struggle or character growth so you only watched a youtube video, good to know
Ayden Gomez
It’s specifically stated that the sword can’t be handled by anyone with magic as it drains mana. If he never worked out as hard as he did he wouldn’t be able to use it. He is a shonen protagonist and he does workout a fuckton so idk what point you’re making here That’s the second sword I think, he hasn’t mastered that shit, the Licht guy did that at one point. The third(?) sword has a stronger dispel effect. But it’s still not an aoe shield against magic and he has to physically touch someone with it to start the mana drain. And even then if they have a fuckton of mana they can still power through the mana drain for a bit. Enough to do wizard shit and fuck him up
Jose Harris
This manga has insane powercreep, we’re still in the first arc and characters are ftl, one character has destiny magic, another can restore mana making the Black Bulls OP as fuck
Brody Roberts
Still waiting for the consequences for this.
Gabriel Taylor
They have reaction speed, they don't move that fast except for the light magic user.
Justin Jackson
>idk what point you’re making here It means he's generic
Brayden Garcia
Todorki is hitsugawa. That character archetype is the worst of all japanese media. The faggy nonchalant kid made for fujos.
Isaac Bennett
Yuno is the chosen one of the setting. Literally beloved by mana, gets spirit and all the op magic shit. Asta got a heavy as fuck sword. You act as if the anti magic is a “I win” power. It can’t even stop a powerful enough caster when it’s lodged inside of them (Vetto). To block an attack he has to be able to see it and react to it, since it’s only the sword that is anti magic. If he was immune to magic sheerly by holding it or could stop someone from casting by touching them with it, sure then I’d say that’s op and he’s a Mary Sue. But thus far he’s pretty restricted. Before you “muh black form” or whatever, it’s a shonen and power ups/upgrades are a staple of the genre. Scaling power ups in accordance to the power of the antagonist, but still his power ups are hardly overpowered.
Ryder Morales
>consequences >black clover Top kek Remember when Asta’s arm was healed almost immediately?
Elijah James
what do you mean?
Kayden Parker
>muh father figure is dying! >oh my sword cured him!!! Yay!
John Carter
And that’s bad why? It’s a kids manga, new readers will enjoy it since they don’t have the years of reading the genre and knowing the tropes to a t. You people shitting on it most likely loved the same generic shit when you were reading your first battle shonen. Why you faggots cannot simply enjoy this shit for what it is is beyond me. Why you come on a Mongolian basket weaving forum to shit on a series you seem to hate is similarly beyond my grasp
Nolan Bailey
>To block an attack he has to be able to see it and react to it Guess who learned and used ki detection after watching Yami did it a few times
David Butler
How can Asta walk through Finral magic portal while holding a swords that cancels any magic it touches????
>learns ability to help sense people >doesn’t increase speed or reflex time If he just asspulled that ability out of nowhere and didn’t learn it from a mentor character. Still doesn’t change the basic idea that he physically has to dodge/block an attack with the sword
Sebastian Anderson

Connor Martinez
If you have precog you can prepare to intercept attacks since you know where they will come from. It's a buff on both reaction and movement speed. I don't mind Asta learning it but the fact that he did it after watching Yami in the same battle just makes it bad to me.
Ayden Stewart
Amen
Gabriel Butler
proof you are an underage of all the characters he mentioned you don't defend yusuke or goku, the characters that an argument could be made for, you defend the three new age beta faggot mc's kys sage
Asta sword touching you makes you unable to use magic meaning once he gets a ranged anti magic attack he will be broken.
Jason Clark

the thing is that mages are fucking twinks, Asta gets a match against fast spammers and melee types
Evan Walker
That’s wrong you faggot. Vetto had a sword inside him and still was using his magic to great effect. It slightly nerfed him and that was all. It’s a mana drain
Julian Peterson

The sword drains the magic out of anyone but Asta because, well, he doesn't have it. That's why it chose him, simple as.

The only asspull thing Luffy ever got was the emperor's Haki and that doesn't even do anything important except clear the enemies that are too weak for him anyway.
Jayden Phillips
I'm on chapter 100ish atm, does Asta ever catch up to Yuno in the next 100? I'm fucking sick of Yuno's asspull powerups.
They can't afford to feed any more points to the other teams if they want to reach the Top 2, so it's likely. Plus he hasn't survived a match since Round 2 so he's overdue for a survival point.

Everyone has at least 2 types of haki and against the really strong willed people aka the enemies he fight, the 3 type of haki don't add dogshit.
That he is the son of famous people doesn't do anything. Look at Ace. He was the son of the one and only pirate king and was literally fisted to death
And the will of D till now also add dogshit to his character expect hearing an elephant speak
Andrew Sanchez
Without the necessary strength to lift the sword the anti-magic powers are useless, it's not that hard to understand is it? Also he's outclassed in almost every 1v1 by powerful ranged mages or by any cunning mage. >Haven't read far myself So why are you here debating with people who read the manga weekly? The demon needed a host that can lift the sword and has no magic and Asta was one of the candidates it seems. Asta is hardly a moralfag. >has op powers with some retarded excuse so he can't always use them Yeah everyone know that doing something perfectly right of the bat is the norm. >has everything handed to him still people say he made great effort He only got an antimagic-sword, everything else is by his own merit.

>Everyone has at least 2 types of haki Except Usopp, Franky and Robin or some of the Shichibukai. >against the really strong willed people aka the enemies he fight, the 3 type of haki don't add dogshit It has tons of use, for example Luffy would have to fight lots of people in the slave auction if Rayleigh didn't use it. Being able to crowd control mobs is a good thing. It is also an extremely rare thing and people generally want it on their sides. >Look at Ace Who almost fucked up Blackbeard. Genetic and bloodline are more important in shounen than you think. For example Coby could never ever catch up to Luffy even with extensive training from Garp, or how the top tier of Big Mom's children are uber strong. Also Ace could escape that fight if he didn't take Akainu's bait. Hell he could become even stronger after training with Luffy and Rayleigh. >And the will of D till now also add dogshit to his character expect hearing an elephant speak It implies that Will of D allows you to do shit like defying the Celestial Dragon. Remember how Doflamingo never let his cage go until Luffy knocked him out? Blackbeard also accomplished lots of shit. Roger told Whitebeard himself that his name is not Gold Roger but Gol D. Roger, implying that the Will of D is really something special.

Tools and tactics are for fodder, the first chapter introduces a moutain destroying ancient beast you fucking retard. Most tactical naruto fights are dumb because the characters are very fast meaning closing the distance and killing your foe before they can react is the smartest tactic overall. There is no reason given how Tayuya couldnt just speedblitz Shikamaru in their fight for example.
