SO IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE MOST RECENT EPISODE OF BLACK CLOVER, PLEASE TURN BACK NOW
Well, the worst that could've happened in Black clover Has happened: Licht, the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, has slain Julius Novachrono, the Wizard King. The entire foundation of the Clover Kingdom has been changed and now the Magic Knights are left to pick up But before we can jump into the repercussions of one of the most important moments in the history of power vacuum emerges along with trying to confusion any confusion Black clover, we need to look at how we got here.
Licht, despite throwing everything he has at Julius, is still barely able to stay away ahead of the Wizard King's Time Magic Licht and Julius are still engaged in the duel that started in the previous episode, and it looks like The fighting here is fluid and fierce, which is a staple of Black cloverThe animations really do throw everything they have at the battles that count.
This scene in particular makes me excited to one day get an awesome Meanwhile, Marx alerts The various captains of the Magic Knights to secure their districts Legend of Zelda-style Black clover game, because I love the idea of Marx's little bowl cut popping up on the screen to give me tutorials or quests.
This is a face of a man who is being swung through a light magic whip around his ankle. I can only hope to achieve this kind of calm one day.
THAT'S MY WIZARD KING. THAT'S. Licht is amazed by Julius' speed and I honestly clapped when Julius caught one of Licht's light swords, said "You can have this back" .
Julius says that he wondered about the purpose of a cover-less grimoire Of course, at this point, Licht starts wondering where Julius' grimoire is, only for Julius to reveal that he has a great His own purpose, and realized that they're a match: Julius had to discover his own purpose through the things he'd done. Then, of course, he says "I'M THE WIZARD KING" and I want to do a backflip off the roof because he's so cool.
Licht figures that the universe has created this rad dude in order to stop hm, and uses the Sealing Magic Released, which threatens the wholeness of the Clover Kingdom even if it breaks disrupting the "natural order."
Kinda is, buddy. But sister Lily aint worried, because the kingdom has Magic Knights. And yeah, that's a nice sentiment, but I'd still be a tad concerned if the sky was filled with glowing swords that were pointed straight down at me and everyone I've ever known.
Licht brings them down in a Light Magic: Arrows of Judgment attack, and Julius remembers the rampant classism in the Black clover Julius remembers Zara, The First Peasant to Be Choose as Magic Knight and how They Learned from Another-Specific, Julius learned that he needed to protect all people in the world and so Julius worked to change the people of the Clover Kingdom and make things more equal, and he can't let all of his progress go to waste.
He reverses it with a huge spell: Time Reversal Magic: Chrono Anastasis …
… which gave Licht time to strike.
Yami witnesses the murder, and prepares to, ummm, negotiate.
WHAT? Of course "Petit Clover" segment riffs on the only moment it can, which is Marx (and more importantly Marx's "Buy One, Get One Free" haircut) making "wrong numbers" when trying to contact the Magic Knights.
So what's going to happen? Well, in the short-term, it's pretty obvious that Yami is not thrilled with what he just witnessed so, knowing Yami, I doubt he'll be chill about it. Will anyone try to claim the Throne? How would you like that kind of decision? Will the next Wizard King be someone that wants to follow the noble goals of Julius or will they have a divergent plan for that kind of power?
When you don't have a # 1 to measure yourself against, how does that change your aims for strength?
And if you think it's not that deal, you're probably watched the show and just clicked on this article because you thought Thought Thought Julius looked rad (He does.) But the Wizard King seems to be the moral center of Like the other "Kings" in various series (The King of the Pirates, The Hokage, The Emperor Of Bleachland), He sets the standard for the time. Of course, the Wizard King has a little more government sactioning than, So it's not just a vacuum of power but it's also a loss of hope. The Magic Knights must now set its own example, and how they do it will say, Gol D. Roger, but they really serve the same purpose. be anyone's guess.
But for now, let's see what you guys thought of this one: We'll just have to find out what happens in the upcoming episodes.

See, that's a little more optimistic! Focus on the excellent work by Pierrot Studios and not the deep, black void that we now feel in our hearts.
