Black Clover

## Summary

**Black Clover** 「ブラッククローバー *Burakku Kurōbā*」 is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yūki Tabata. The series began serialization on February 16, 2015, on Weekly Shōnen Jump's 12th issue. The story focuses on fantasy, adventure and comedy genres while maintaining the "Young Boys" 「少年 *Shōnen*」 demography.

Asta and Yuno are orphans raised in the outskirts of the Clover Kingdom. In a world where people are born with magic, Asta was born without any. In contrast, Yuno was born a prodigy with above average magic power and the talent to control it. Additionally, in their coming of age ceremony, Yuno receives a rare four-leaf clover grimoire, like the original Wizard King. On the other hand, Asta received a tattered grimoire where a Devil lies within, a five-leaf clover grimoire.

## 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 god-tiers are reached in the Spade War Arc, with many characters of varying levels of **Multi-Continent level** existing.

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 Light Magic generally being **Speed of Light** and its superior version, Demon Light Magic generally being **FTL**. Faster characters scale from **FTL** to **FTL+**, with the fastest characters reaching varying levels of **Massively FTL** speeds.

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.
