**Stamina:** Superhuman (Can still remain conscious after being sliced open from shoulder to hip with a diamond projectile with significant blood loss. Fought an army of zombies without getting tired for several hours, and jumped through a wall of flames without flinching or receiving any damage. Kept fighting against Vetto despite taking severe damage and having both of his arms broken. Fought and defeated Ladros while having a hole pierced into him without showing any sign of pain. Managed to re-enter his Black Asta form against Zagred and defeat him despite having just been forced out of it due to the strain it put on his body. Right before and during the Spade Kingdom Raid, Asta fought against Nacht for two days straight and continued to train with Liebe for an extended period of time, likely without sleeping, then fought and defeated an Ancient Demon with Devil Union, and immediately headed to the Spade Kingdom afterwards, where he fought and defeated Lilith and Naamah and then fought Morris afterwards despite the physical backlash of using Devil Union. Immediately after, he went on to use Devil Union after the 30-minute cooldown ran out, destroying Lucifero's incomplete vessel and then fighting him in his half-manifested state, wherein he was brutally wounded, but still managed to get back up despite Mimosa being unable to even get close to completely healing him. After having his wounds sealed by Nero but not completely healed, he re-entered the fight against the full power of Lucifero's half-manifestation, where he suffered more grave injuries and ran out Devil Union, while still having enough stamina left to deal a final blow to the Devil King in his base form)

**Range:** Extended melee range with swords, at least several dozen meters with Anti-Magic and Black Divider, hundred meters in Berserk Mode, kilometers with Devil Union

**Standard Equipment:**

* **Grimoire:** Asta wields a five-leaf clover grimoire, which he receives during his fight with Revchi. The grimoire is tattered and covered in dirt, a black five-leaf clover insignia at the center of its front cover. Assume that the grimoire possesses unusual magic but is otherwise ordinary. Asta is able to summon rusted swords out of it, which he uses for his Anti-Magic. His grimoire used to be a four-leaf clover grimoire that belonged to Licht.
* **Demon-Slayer:** Asta's first and primary Anti-Magic sword. It is the largest and heaviest of the four swords, dealing massive blunt damage with each swing and being a better shield overall, and reflect magic with the flat side. However, its heft means that it is slower than the Demon-Dweller and Demon-Destroyer, making it less suitable for parrying and reflecting high-speed attacks. After the 6 months timeskip, Asta gained the ability to fly on Demon-Slayer by channeling Anti-Magic and call it back by saying its name. By infusing Anti-Magic at the extremity of Demon-Slayer, Asta creates a spell called Black Divider. With Black Divider, Asta makes the extremity of Demon-Slayer sharper in order to deal more fatal injuries. In Devil Union, Asta changes the size of the sword itself, making it long and wide enough to deflect kilometer-sized projectiles
* **Demon-Dweller:** His second anti-magic weapon, which he discovered towards the end of his fight with Mars. A thinner and more ornate weapon, Asta can swing it much faster than the Demon Slayer Sword, allowing him to defend against attacks too fast for him to block with the Demon Slayer Sword and slice and stab opponents. As a trade-off, it lacks some of the heft of the Demon Slayer sword, resulting in weaker blows. After the 6 months timeskip, Asta gained the ability to summon Demon-Dweller by saying its name and create several Anti-Magic slashes by filling the sword with Anti-Magic and swinging it.
* **Demon-Destroyer:** Asta's third Anti-Magic sword, It can cut through magic spells with its edges, just like his other two swords. It can also severe the cause-and-effect relationship to absorb and remove the effects of magic spells as if they were never casted or even negate Reincarnation Magic. The shape of Demon-Destroyer changes when Asta is in Devil Union.
* **Demon-Slasher:** Asta's fourth and most recent Anti-Magic sword, a katana taken from Yami Sukehiro during the last second of their battle against Dante Zogratis. Can cut spells with its edge, just like his other three swords. In Devil Union, this sword is able to cut only what its user wants to cut and making it possible to pass through Asta's allies.

**Intelligence:** Average, Genius in combat. Asta is a teen that was given minimum education due to living in the boondocks at the edge of the kingdom for most of his life and is thus fairly ignorant and book dumb, but nevertheless makes up for it with his strong combat instinct which borders on precognition at times. After receiving advice from experienced Magic Knight Captains such as Yami Sukehiro and Fuegoleon Vermillion, he has become much calmer and level-headed in combat, focusing on the task at hand and maintaining his composure while under pressure and make quick and effective decisions that turns the outcome of the battle to his advantage such as during his fight against Valtos, where he let go of his sword despite being attacked from every directions and rushed at him at the first opportunity. His Swordsmanship skills allows him to deflect several dozen of projectiles coming at close range and from every directions, thus while protecting someone. Asta is also known for his creativity, which renders his actions unpredictable, such as letting himself hit to create a smokescreen around him and then throw his heavy swords akin to a javelin to stab a target in the air. Lastly, Asta is a fast learner and takes positive advice to heart, he managed to master the use of his Anti-Magic swords in his very first usage and becoming an expert at it afterwards, learned complex techniques such as Ki in his first attempt and mastered it right after, and even mimicked and mastered on the first try the stances and battle techniques of his previous, more experienced allies or opponents just by seeing them once. During his sparring with Kaito, Asta went from being unable to predict his movements and sense him due to his unique swordsmanship, to not only being able to reproduce it, but also disarm him with ease. This doesn't end there, as during his battle against Magna, he was able to deflect for five minutes straight a barrage of fireball that turns invisible halfway through and randomly teleports around the target, despite not keeping up with a single fireball throw moments before that. His ability to learn new techniques and adapt to situations is further enhanced when he is in the midst of a battle or when his back is against the wall as he always tries to surpass his limits.

**Weaknesses:** He can only enter his Black Asta Form three times a day and doing so places an incredible strain on his muscles and bones. His Black Asta form right after the Devil's Bargain only lasts for 50 seconds. | The Devil Union form lasts for 5 minutes.

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

**Anti-Magic:** Asta possesses no mana and therefore is unable to use magic whatsoever. However, his lack of magic enabled Asta to wield the power of Anti-Magic, power coming from a Demon. As its name suggests, Anti-Magic has the unique ability to nullify other magical attacks without difficulty. He uses this power through swords that are stored within his grimoire corrupted by Anti-Magic. He currently has 4 swords: the Demon-Slayer Sword which is able to cleave through virtually any kind of magic with its edges, deflects magic back with the flat parts of the sword, the Demon-Dweller and Demon-Destroyer Swords which as well as cleaving and deflecting magic, can absorb magic for the former and revert magic effect for the latter. He later gained Yami's Katana during his fight against Dante and gives it a name: Demon-Slasher.

* **Bull Thrust:** After being flung through the air, Asta points both the Demon-Slayer Sword and Demon Dweller Sword in front of himself. Any spells or magic life forms that are in front of Asta are dispelled after coming in contact with the swords. Asta is also incapable of changing direction without the help of Spatial Magic users.
* **Mirrors Slash:** After Asta has been multiplied with Mirrors Brigade, the Demon Dweller Sword absorb an ally's magic and, with a swing, release the magic in a flurry of flying slashes, which can nullify magic.
* **Demon-Slayer Sword: Black Divider:** While wielding the Demon-Slayer Sword, Asta pushes the Anti-Magic to the edges of the blade, increasing its size and extending its reach. After the Timeskip, he learned to use Black Divider without needing to transform into Black Asta
* **Demon-Dweller Sword: Black Slash**: Ability learnt after the six months training in the Heart Kingdom. While holding the Demon-Dweller Sword, Asta fills the sword with Anti-Magic, swings it, and releases the energy as a flying slash which cuts through magic and carries enough force to knock an opponent back into a wall or up through a ceiling. The slash does not appear to cut the opponent but can knock them unconscious. Asta could swing the sword in rapid succession to create a flurry of slashes for targeting multiple opponents.
* **Causality Break**「因果解放 *Inga Kaihō*, Viz: "Fate Release"」: It absorbs and removes the effects of spells by severing the cause-and-effect relationship. The sword emanates tendrils of Anti Magic that touch those affected by magic and then draw back into the sword, turning the blade black. Since the ability affects causality, these tendrils negate not only the magic but also its effects, such as the tissue damage caused by a magical poison; the other Anti Magic Weapons are unable to do this and affect only active magic.

**Black Asta:** After being healed by the Witch Queen and nearly being defeated by Ladros, Asta discovered the ability to channel the flow of Anti-Magic emanating out of his swords through his body, greatly increasing his strength and speed while clearing his mind of all doubts and extraneous thoughts and improving his focus and clarity of mind. At first, he needs some concentration and his two hands on his sword to channel Anti-Magic and transform but can now transform into Black Asta with relative ease.

* **Black Meteorite:** After activating his Black Asta form, Asta lunges at his opponent, homing in on his target's mana signature while the shroud of Anti-Magic around him nullifies oncoming magical attacks, dealing a powerful slash to the target once he is in range.
* **Black Hurricane:** With Anti-Magic flowing from the Demon Slayer Sword, Asta steps forward and spins around rapidly, engulfing his surroundings with arcs of Anti-Magic that nullify any magical spells or constructs they come into contact with. This ability is able to deactivate an entire field of magical traps of various kinds in an instant.
* **Compound Magic 「複合魔法 Fukugō Mahō」:** Despite not being able to use magic, Asta can still combine his Anti-Magic with another magic. Compound Magic is the combination of multiple different spells to create a single, more powerful spell. A smaller variation, **Union Magic 「合体魔法 Gattai Mahō」** is the combination of only two spells.
* **Mirrors Slash:** After Asta has been multiplied with Mirrors Brigade, the Demon-Dweller Sword absorb an ally's magic and, with a swing, release the magic in a flurry of flying slashes, which can nullify magic.
* **Mirrors Meteorite:** While wielding the Demon-Slayer Sword, Asta coats himself in Anti-Magic and is then multiplied with Gauche's Magic tool, just like Mirrors Brigade. The original Black Asta and his copies then charges a target from multiple directions by using Black Meteorite.

**Note: Compound Magic and Union Magic spells can only be used with another mage, therefore not usable in 1 versus 1 scenarios.**

**Uncomplete Devil Union:** After the Devil-Binding Ritual, Asta gained the ability to assimilate with his devil and fuse. This transformation is much more powerful than Black Asta mode, but he can only use it for 5 minute and afterwards, he can't use Devil Union or Black Asta for 30 more minutes. In this state, he can overpower and kill a fused Namah and Nahamah who were powerful enough separate to destroy concepts like darkness. Asta's presence leaks out Anti-Magic, so most magic can't be performed, but more powerful magic can still be used

**Note:**

1. Due to the enhanced effects of Asta’s overflowing anti-magic in Devil Union mode, he passively erases magic in his surroundings at an accelerated rate. Therefore he is unable to enjoy any advantages offered by his allies and his allies are wary of casting spells near him. However, this could work in his favor against the enemy. This effect is less noticeable when he is in Black Mode.
2. Anti-Magic, especially from Devil Union, is very effective against Devils.

**Ki:** During the battle opposing Patry and Yami, Asta learned how to read the natural energy given off by living beings to read their current emotional state or predict their next attacks, granting him a pseudo-sixth sense for danger and enhancing his reaction speed.
