Summary

Note: The Black Clover verse is currently very outdated, as the series is in its final arc and the supporters are waiting for the series to end before making further revisions.

Long ago, humanity was on the verge of being wiped out by a demon, but was saved by one extremely powerful mage who became known as the first Wizard King.

In the present day, the story begins with your typical Shounen series protagonist, Asta, a kind-hearted youth with the hot-bloodedness to match, but not the height much to his chagrin. His childhood friend and rival, Yuno, is the exact opposite of him, being tall and stoic along with being carelessly blunt and rude.

However, on the day in which the two gained their Grimoires, the spellbooks that would allow them to use magic and sign up for the Magic Knight Exam, it was discovered that Yuno received the legendary Four-Leaf Clover Grimoire, cementing his position and recognition as a genius.

Asta, on the other hand, got... absolutely nothing. Frustrated, Asta went back to his usual physical training, where it is revealed that despite their differences, Asta and Yuno were childhood friends.

Upon returning to town, he comes upon Yuno being bound by a magic-wielding bandit who sought to steal Yuno's Four-Leaf Grimoire and sell it for a high price. Despite Asta's best attempts to stop him, he is soon trounced by the bandit due to his lack of magic, where the bandit reveals that Asta has the strange condition of lacking any mana within him, thus invalidating his dream of becoming the Wizard King.

Regardless, Asta refused to give up, and Yuno revealed that he still saw Asta as his best friend and rival. Suddenly, a pitch-black grimoire appeared before Asta, summoning a massive black sword for him to wield.

Not taking this for granted, Asta took up the sword and pummeled the would-be bandit. After thanking Asta for saving them, they renewed the promise they made as children, vowing to see which one of them would become the Wizard King!

Power of the Verse

Like most Shounen series, Black Clover starts at a modest level of power before becoming much stronger as the series progresses. The lowest characters scale around Multi-City Block level while the higher-tier characters range from City level to Large Mountain level. Later on, most lower-tier characters range from Large Mountain level to Country level, and the high-tiers jump to Country level+ to Large Country level destruction. Finally, the top-tiers are reached in the Spade War Arc, with many characters of varying levels of Multi-Continent level existing, and the Final Saga bringing god-tiers that are higher into Multi-Continent level and some even being Moon level to Small Planet level.

Black Clover is regarded as a very fast verse due to its incredibly early statements of light speed, although this topic tends to be controversial when brought up. Currently, the slowest characters scale to Relativistic speeds, with faster characters being Relativistic+. Light Magic is generally rated at Speed of Light and its superior version, Demon Light Magic is generally rated at FTL. Faster FTL characters are reached in the Spade Kingdom Saga, and the Final Saga contains the fastest characters, who are Massively FTL.

In terms of Lifting Strength, the verse is rather varied. Most characters tend to be comparatively unimpressive as most characters tend to not display physical feats. Thus, they a good part of the cast scales to Class 10, but there are also many that reach Class K, Class M, Class G, Class T and even Class P, Class E, and Class Z.

Like other magic verses, Black Clover has a variety of abilities, including ones that most mages can use such as the durability-boosting Mana Skin - which also provides Resistances to Heat Manipulation, Sleep Manipulation, and Power Nullification - and the Statistics Amplification provided by Reinforcement Magic. It also has some notable hax at its disposal. Abilities such as Asta’s Anti-Magic, Julius’ Existence Erasure & Time Manipulation, or Yami’s Durability Negation via Spatial Manipulation allow many characters to fight opponents stronger than themselves, making this verse very formidable.

In addition, Black Clover is home to numerous devils. These devils have their own unique physiology, as shown here. This grants a slew of abilities, the most notable one being the Invulnerability of the hearts of mid-rank devils or higher; this requires the use of Arcane or Saint Stage attacks to defeat them, adding another level of formidability to the verse.

Nozel Intercepts A Beam of Black Light: 0.89c (Relativistic+)

Yuno Blocks Rays of Light: 478.48c (Massively FTL)

Common Abilities:

Magic: Except Asta and Liebe, everyone in the series has the ability to use magic. The extent of it varies from one person to another depending on their Magic Amount, Magic Control and Skill.
Extrasensory Perception: Those with Magic Power have the ability to sense Magic Power from spells or other beings. To an higher extent, some can sense Magic Power from far away, even outside of the world, gain information from it such as their attribute, strength, skill and even mental state, and even sense the flow of Mana itself.
Statistics Amplification: Magic can be used in order to enhance the physical abilities of the body, such as muscle strength or heat resistance.
Forcefield Creation: Those with a large amount of Magic Power have a forcefield of Magic that naturally protects them from spells. A greater amount of magic power can create an interference and prevent others from using magic.
Resistance to Temperature Manipulation: Magic Knights can use Mana Skin to travel through areas with extreme temperatures.
Resistance to Power Nullification: Magic Knights can use Mana Skin to cast spells within areas that would normally nullify spells.

Terminology

Please, be sure to understand the terminology in order to avoid bringing any confusion or misinformation in a Black Clover thread.

Mana「マナ Mana」: A form of energy that is fundamental and invisible. It exists absolutely everywhere in nature and can make home into a living creature. Elves and Spirit Magic users are known to have the ability to manipulate Mana.

Mana Zone: An advanced Mana manipulation technique that allows the user to manipulate the Mana in the surrounding area. As such, Mana Zone allows its user to extend the range of his spells, detect movements within the zone, attack from everywhere within the zone, and much more.
Mana Method: The Heart Kingdom's unique magic technique, which consists of channeling Mana into regular spells by creating runes out of sheer Mana, increasing their strength and abilities. It can be used to give orders to spells, such as <Pursue> to track the target until it hits, <Cook> to cook the target, or <Get Faster> to increase their speed of that of their spell. Skilled Mana Method users are able to cast spells virtually infinitely as they use Mana, which exists everywhere instead of Magic Power.

Negative Mana: This Mana boosts the power and capabilities of magic but also carries the risk of corrupting the soul and ultimately the body, mind, spirit, and even the magic attribute of both the victims and the users alike.

Soul: Referred to the very shape of magic by Charlotte, the soul is the root of the life of humans, but also the source of their spirit, and their magic, altering the soul of an individual will affect any of these aspects of the person.

Magic Power「魔力 Maryoku」: Originating from the soul, Magic Power can also be the product of Mana when Mana makes home inside a living creature, as it is converted into an energy that can influence other substances, (this energy is called Magic Power). Magic Power can be exerted in order to fire projectiles called Magic Bullets, induce ailments and pressure on the opponent, or used as a protective forcefield whose efficiency varies from simply blocking attacks to outright neutralize the opponent from casting spells. It should be noted that the English translations often translate "Maryoku" as "Mana", which is incorrect as they mean 2 separate energies and are differentiated in the original japanese version.

Magic Bullets: A concentration of Magic Power that is launched at the target. It is so simple that mages can do it without the aid of grimoires. It can be shaped into a beam but it more often takes the shape of a bullet.

Magic「魔法 Mahou」: The refinement and application of Magic Power to perform a specific function, or spell. There are different kinds of spells:

Barrier Magic: A form of magic that allows the user to create magical barriers, blocking the enemies' attacks and preventing intruders to sneak in.
Binding Magic: A form of magic that allows the user to bind and restrict their opponent's movements. Additionally, this magic also disables the target's ability to use magic
Communication Magic: A form of magic that allows the user to transmit and project auditory and/or visual information.
Creation Magic: A form of magic that allows the users to shape various objects and entities from their magic.
Curse Magic: A form of magic that allows the user to include additional lasting negative effects to spells. The effects can range from dulled senses to debilitating sickness and even death.
Recovery Magic: A form of magic that allows the user to help themselves or others recovering from injuries.
Reinforcement Magic: A form of magic that allows the user to increase their physical abilities. Most mages apply this magic in some manner when fighting.
Sealing Magic: A form of magic that allows the user to place magical seals on a target. These seals have myriad purposes, including containing magic power and crystallizing mana.
Spirit Magic: A rare form of magic that allows the user to summon an elemental spirit. Mages who use this magic are known as Spirit Hosts.
- Spirit Dive: A transformation where a person assimilates the spirit he or she is contracted with to receive an increase in power.
Transformation Magic: A form of magic that allows a user to transform themselves into another person. It has been shown that users of this magic are fully capable of transforming into different ages, body types, and genders.
Trap Magic: A form of magic that allows the user to create and set magical traps.
Union Magic: A combination of two mages' spells into a single, far more powerful spell
- Compound Magic: A combination of several mages' spells or more into a single, far more powerful spell.
Weakening Magic: A form of magic that allows the user to lower and weaken the physical abilities of the opponents.

Ki: Ki this the blank term for every kind of life energy that the human body releases, such as muscle movements, breathing, smell, glare, emotions and even their mere presence.

Sensing: Ki can be sensed to predict the target's emotional state and future actions. Proficient ki sensers are able to sense lifeless constructs.
Zetten: A technique achieved by precisely manipulating ki while also concentrating the Magic Power into a point and then make it erupt and release in an instant. The strength of the blow is determined by the amount of Magic Power put into it and the speed at which the condensed ki and Magic Power is released. This technique is very difficult to learn, as even experienced fighters can spend years into the training of Zetten but without being able to do it.

Devil Power 「悪魔の力 Akuma no chikara」: A strange demonic power that increases the Magic Power and the Magic of the user. As the percentage of Devil Power used increases, the boost in power increases as well and the user gains more devil features such as devil horns, devil wings, a devil tail and so on.

Devil Union/Unite 「悪魔同化 Yunaito」: The capacity to unite between a human and a devil when the two have formed a contract. To obtain it the human must subjugate the devil in the Devil-Binding Ritual by using a relic connected to that devil. Once made, the two fuse and the person is cloacked in a form that combines the magical power of the human with certain characteristics that the devil possesses. A human can make contracts with more than one devil (two devils currently in the story) and combine the powers into a more powerful form.
