SO IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE MOST RECENT EPISODE OF BLACK CLOVER, PLEASE TURN BACK NOW!
If you're like me, you've taken the last week to mourn. Black cloverMean while, Yami, in A Worious mood than usual, come on murder and prepared to draw his katana. And as the newest episode starts, Licht is restricting one of his primary personality traits–being uncomfortably artful.
Licht introduces him Himself and his personality "situation" to Yami, but it doesn't seem like Yami is interested in doing anything else than ripping Licht's head off and throwing it off the Clover Kingdom. Meanwhile, Marx is panicking tim go get some help and Valtos pops up like a gopher …
… and he and Licht escape before being hit by Yami's Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash.
Of course, Julius, being, like, Yami tells Julius to hang in there, but that advice would have been better than about 10 minutes ago because because Julius does not look too good the best, compliments Yami on the magic he just used.
Julius spends most of his dying breath telling Yami about how rad Yami is and how much hope he has for the next generation of Magic Knights. Meanwhile, Asta is watching Mereoleona absolutely deciding Rhya, and is thinking thinking what's all thinking …
But Rhya plans to self-destruct, which Asta nullifies in the most awesome, navel-destroying way possible.
Asta then punches Rhya, angry that Rhya would even consider self-destructing in the first place.
Asta demands that Rhya and the Eye of the Midnight Sun members explain themselves, while Mereoleona is more than ready to just burn them all to a crisp. But as it is interventions, saying that can understand each other because they're all basically the same. Asta talks about trying to remove all of the "rage" and "hatred" that motivates the Midnight Sun, all while a dying Julius thinks of similar subjects. If as it does become eventually Wizard King, I'm gonna throw my laptop out a window.
Licht and Valtos meet up with some of the other Midnight Sun members to discuss some light villainy, because now Licht has all of the magic stones.
Asami and Yami, this episode is just a parade of good boys being their Best. And of course, Julius is waaaaaaay too humble:
YOU'RE GOOD. WE ALL SAW THAT LAST BATTLE. THAT WAS WATCHMOJO.COM TOP 10 ANIME FIGHTS-WORTHY. "We're then treated to a Yara is like, and I'm only slightly paraphrasing here. We see Julius try to help Yami's fit in a bit and Yami has the same reaction I have my flashback to when no one really liked Yami except Julius who, definitely ahead of the curve, thought that Yami's dark magic was absolutely awesome. teachers said "I know we've been teaching you this one certain way to write for five years, but have y'all heard the good word about our savior CURSIVE?"
We see years of Julius complimenting Yami and bribing him with dinners and promoting him to be the Captain of the Black Bulls. And then, back in the present, Julius "leaves the rest" to Yami, and after talking about how happy he is to Take it easy, Wizard King. See it's different kind of people and see different kinds of magic, Julius passes away, seemingly satisfied.
Mean while, Yuno and his group are making it to the center of the midnight Sun hideout, where they discover someone suspended in an intense amount of mana.
Valtoss to insert the final magic stone and Valtos, Sally and Rades are super pumped about all of the magic that they're about to acquire. Valtos talks about his sad pre-Licht life and how devoted he is to Licht, and Licht, And then (TWIST) Licht tells them that they're actually just ugly, awful humans and, as a strange power seems to sweep across the Clover Kingdom, Yuno's ears grow elf-shaped and a mark appears on Yuno's face ….
Well, until Petit Clover, which is just more Julius telling Yami that he should believe in himself, and honestly, I could sit through a whole episode of that. But what does this all mean for Black cloverWell, I imagine that we're going to have a wait before it sees everyone's reactions to the death of Julius, which will be just icing on the cake of whatever Licht has planned now.
And it's going to Asta punching Rhya before he could self destruct and then monologue about all of the good stuff he wants to do for the kingdom is a lesson in "Asta-tude" (That won't catch on, will it?). The reason for being a member of the group who belongs to the group of people who have been involved in the case of being a member of the group who is a member of the group of the members of the present invention. plan, so I'm eager to learn A) What kind of pain Valtos and his unlucky gang is about to go through, because a lot of hurt is definitely about to come their way, and B) What's up with Yuno.
But anyway, let's dive into your reactions to this episode:

This Dumb & Dumber And Black Clover is great at leaving us in a constant state of "Welp, I hope the whole cast is okay."

When words can not do an episode justice, a simple gif will suffer.
