Biggest plot hole for me was Asta going to trial with little evidence and everyone is just like "Dang, if only there was someway for us to see what had really happened during the attack of the elves. Too bad no one has magic that could show us the memories of any of the dozens of people who were actually there..." Marx is even in the same episode I'm pretty sure, just yelling at Julius about nothing like always.

[@Br0ku]

Yeah, that could be a plot hole. But since it’s likely marx was working with Julius/Lucius means that was possibly the intent. The whole battle with the spade doesn’t happen or is drastically different if this happens.

[@funnythief3330]

I think a good reason why they wouldn’t wanna bring Marx into this is probably the whole “working with Lucius” theory, but it could also be that the rich just wanna get their kicks and just put an end to a poor person having the power to literally become the second (king being first, but not actually that powerful) most powerful authority in the Clover Government by assert their views of “the rich deserve everything, and the poor deserve nothing!” Since that view is very well asserted in the series amongst the snobs. Just a thought I had.

[@izunauchiha5685]

Doesn't Damnatio Kira quite literally state that the Magic Parliament doesn't really care about hard evidence and they're incredibly biased and terrible toward lower class people?

[@neonisgaming3291]

The situation is tricky cause I think that if they brought Marx in then it looks like clover is trying to defend a devil after one nearly destroyed the whole country. Also, it’s not like all the higher ups there would even let marx use his power on asta. They all wanted to put the blame on one person and asta was the perfect person to do so.

It is possible that Julius having Astaroth could have seen that within the first six month period that they was not strong enough, therefore the other five months was. Rewinded within anyone's knowing leading into the anime filler arc which is stated to be cannon and if it is it could be a way of foreshadowing and hints at the animation studio and the author working together but I doubt it

[@Br0ku]

We’ll have to see :)

[@darthgoku1580]

The only way it being 18 months could make sense is if Tabata is counting the six months Asta and Yuno spent training before joining the Magic Knight as part of the 18 months for some reason, in which case the math would then fit perfectly. If Lucius is behind the time discrepancy, perhaps he "stole" the missing time somehow. Julius said that his Time Magic works by actually stealing time, so Lucius could have stolen 5-6 months worth of time with his magic.

[@Br0ku]

But it’s been stated 18 months since joining. They’d only be 16 if it’s been 18 months since getting grimoire

[@darthgoku1580]

@@Br0ku 17 years old if you round up. They were 15 years and 5 months at the time of receiving their Grimoires, so adding 18 months equals out to 16 years and 11 months, which is close enough. Keep in mind, the day Asta and Yuno were left at the church was not the same day they were born. There was definitely some amount of time that passed between when Yuno was born and when the coup happened, which could have been about a month. The coup didn't happen literally the next day after he was born.

[@Br0ku]

@@darthgoku1580 except… no. Noelle would be 16 years and 9.5 months. Rounding up 2.5 months is too much. Besides, the anime canon already proved it’s been 18 months since they joined the brigade. Since Asta and Noelle celebrated being knights for a year and then trained in the heart for 6 months.

[@darthgoku1580]

​@@Br0ku Then I guess we can just chalk it up to Tabata making a mistake and the editor not doing their job properly. It's an editor's job to catch things like this and let the author know so they can resolve it before it turns into something much bigger, like a plot hole. Wouldn't be the first time the anime has fixed a mistake from the manga. For example, we are told that Patri no longer has his Grimoire, but earlier in the manga when Patri is shown heading towards the Heart Kingdom with Fana, Vetto, and Rhya, you can see his Grimoire floating beside him. It's still there in the volume release too, but in the anime version of that scene his Grimoire is not there. So the anime actually fixed something that even the official volume release didn't. When it comes to editors, Tabata's current editor Fukuda is also pretty young and inexperienced, this being his first editor job, which I suspect may have played a part in the Spade arc turning out the way that it did.

[@christopherlane6372]

The moment you mentioned that time line "errors" was the plot hole, I automatically thought of Lucius. Just his existence and the timing of this video leads me to think that for some odd reason, Lucius had manipulated time.. 5-6 months worth of time. Before the time skip. Bc just what if the dark triad did not get used to their devil powers and Lucius decides "I'll give you six MORE months" an manipulated time. We the readers wouldn't understand until it was revealed that time has most likely been manipulated at least once within the series. So I leave time manipulation to be a plausible reason as to why this plot hole exists. If that's not the case, it's like you said.. an easy fix. Orrr, given how long the movie is being made and Asta's attire within the movie, this very well can reveal where those missing five months can be given that anime canon exists and doesn't exactly fill in the entire time between Dorothy's statement to Noelle and the actual start to the time skip

[@link61601]

The whole timeline has been weird since at least the sea temple arc because Asta and Noelle claim they’re still 15 in the sea temple arc when that arc takes place after Marie’s birthday which is near the end of December meaning they both would be well past 16 by then.

[@justinhigginbottom8668]

the timeline is definitely super iffy. the 18 months statements about yuno and asta joining. Nero watching thr grimoire for 500 years. yet she doesn't know about licita and liebe. Asta and yuno being dropped off on the same day despite lucifero searching for a host in liebe despite the spade rebellion already happening? since liebe and licita meet minimum months after she dropped off asta. so months after rhe rebellion should have happened. disciples being 25. despite 17 years happening since the rebellion. truly lot of "plot holes" happen with the timeline. but given the main final antagonist is a time manipulater alot of timeline issues might be intentional

[@Franceee___]

I dont think these are necessarily "plot holes", they're just untouched topics that have never really been explained in the story directly. But this is something that has always happened in tv shows and how every event connects seamlessly without issue even tho there's discrepancies in between. At the end of the day I just think they're put aside by the writer so the whole story doesn't get too confusing and the risk of creating IMPORTANT plot holes becomes much lower.

Although there is incoming movie that might be cannon, the plot hole seems hard to fix unless they clearly say it is an error.

[@skeebs1442]

while it's more likely to be a slip of the mind by Tabata, it could be a 'cultural semantic' of sorts. i can only speak for korean from my background knowledge so grains of salt to be taken here; we rarely say "I'm 15 and a half years old," (as a crude example). Instead, it's become more commonplace to count the years starting the first month. For example, my birthday's in January so I could say I turned 21 five-and-a-half years ago, but it's just as succinct to say "five years ago". Since seniority is something culturally centered in Korea, something as nuanced as a few months difference is easily swept under the rug in favor of simplicity. this is still skirting the edge of error and nuance - but i can see how one would lump "six months" and "one year" in the same category, especially with the change in editors. in other manga i've read so far, in which the author specifically lists the number of months, it's often due to some canon like a "3-month recovery phase" or "5-month long ritual". lastly, there could be a 'mistranslation' of sorts (not what you're thinking). for example, in korean, i could say '3 months' as 석달 (3 months specifically), or in a more casual context, 'less than half a year or so'. like i said, much nuance here but it's something i see here and there when it comes to fans comparing each char's specific birthdays/months, and the social context it's applied to

there's even strange timeline sequences before asta's journey starts. with vanessa being recruited to the black bulls at the very least 15 i'm assuming and being only 4 years younger than yami who's 29 atm. this means yami would've had to be captain at 19 during that moment and william vangeance captain at 16 or 17 since they both became captain at the same time. this can't be the case since rill was stated as the youngest captain in history at 19. lots of weirdness before Asta's journey starts, i just write it off as Lucius doing his thing to curate the right timeline for whatever.

[@mefisbalorgames3694]

The biggest plot hole in Black Clover is how Asta's mom with her power to drain life from everyone and everything with even a shred of mana managed to have intercourse long enough to bear a child considering she straight up unalived a snake just by it attempting to bite her. Being that close for any duration of time even 30 seconds would have ended the man. Additionally, she sent Asta away because she feared she'd drain his life because that's what she does, but he doesn't have any mana meaning he'd have been fine around her which she knew because Liebe was fine around here and had no mana. Meaning she abandoned her child for literally nothing. (Ignoring the fact that him being born would have already had him close enough to her for her powers to end him then and there anyway.)

What is the possibility Lucius put some spell on Rill or Rill is in league with Lucius as well. While having been on the Grey Deer. There was a reason Lucius recruited Yami to the Grey Deer. Also the same squad Nact’s brother Morgen was on. Coincidence that people who time inconsistencies come from are linked to the Grey/Aqua Deer.

Tabata's editor must have mixed up how long it's been since Asta and Yuno got their grimoires with how long it's been since they joined the Magic Knights

[@KronezSinphyton]

Asta and Yuno get their Grimoire at age 15, but we aren't told "they JUST turned 15". So they could be a couple of months in. We are told that the ceremony is once a year. After getting the books, they trained for what? 3 months? Before taking the magic knights exam. At the festival where the Royal Magic Knights is announced, it is said they joined half a year ago. That's 6 months, could be a little more or even a little less. Let's just say 6 months. At this point I'm sure they are 16. From that point to the heart kingdom training, it's at least 2 moths. Then you add another 6 months of training, and they've been magic knights for over a year, a year and two months or 14 months. That's just a rough estimate. 18 months is a year and a half, a year and 6 months. Those numbers aren't too far off. They should be roughly 17 years old. After the spade kingdom arc, we get another time skip that tells us Asta is 18 years old. I think this time skip is 1.5 years if I remember correctly. At that point, it would mean they were in there for 32 months roughly?

My personal headcanon for why there’s a bunch of modern items when the setting is supposed to be medieval is that the setting is actually modern, not medieval. Hear me out. What if because of magic humans haven’t developed technology as far as they could’ve. They’ve become overly dependent on magic, and haven’t felt the need to develop their technology further, because they feels as if they’ve already reached the peak of technological advancement because of magic. But even though technology is still very far behind, culture and fashion have evolved into what is normal in the modern day. I don’t think I explained that well enough though. I know there’s a tumblr post somewhere that proposes this theory for Harry Potter.

[@vcamv2354]

I mean, it's also just the thing of setting and "easy writting". Fairy Tail is basically "medieval" but also has LOTS of technology which is explained by "magic", One Piece always dwells between being like, simple old fashioned warship but then also showcasing very advanced technology. Is just easier to mix the two, so anything that would be "too much for the technology of the era" but it's easy for nowadays stuff, you draw the line

I thought Asta learning how to manipulate the anti-magic after the 6 month time skip to fly his sword would've been a good counter measure for transportation as well as versatility since he can essentially have his weapon ready when covering distance but apparently he can just waltz right on in through with his sword. Like you said, Black Clover's my favourite manga too but its literally all I can notice in the Sea Bed arc now like surely that shouldn't work??

@@Br0kuhello broku im revisiting this after 2 years and i only just realised you responded and I have come to the conclusion that I did not read my own manga and that asta has subconsciously been restricting the flow of AM from the start of the series (the witch queen literally said this idk how I missed it) and the AM energy output has to scale to the mana output i am sorry for my stupidity also i have just realised how long ive been watching you love u big man

[@cazzaagakill4660]

might be wrong but we have a filler ep in the anime where they go to the entrance exam which happens every year yet again just before the time skip this plus six months in 18

[@kylonbell123]

Also what would Lucius gain by making people think the wars end was sooner he'd get more time to plan I'm sure a year was enough time for Julius to return to his original state I think we should look at why it could be a possibility in all those situations what's gained if anything.

[@darionstewart504]

So maybe I missed a detail.. but wasn't Asta flying through Finrals portal vs. Vetto a pothole? Shouldnt the demon dweller sword have pierced and deleted the portal

[@Br0ku]

@@darionstewart504 it isn’t. It’s stated that Asta subconsciously shut off his AM power when he went through it.

[@darionstewart504]

@Br0ku cool okay, missed that

[@mariosilva7889]

I am not sure but it seemed like everyone that didn't think it was 18 months was not in the clover kingdom for a long time. Maybe Lucius only manipulated time in the kingdom he was in

[@MuhammadIrfan-mx1im]

i miss mars what happened to him now? tabata seems just abandoned him so sad

[@Secre.SwallowtailYT]

i guess it would depend on when that panel was show its a little foggy for me but i thought it was correct? festival at 6months -> ~6months of content before they trained in heart -> 6 months of heart training would put the story at 18 months?

[@Br0ku]

David's statement are correct. But, there are numerous statements in the spade saga that say the elf was "6 months ago" or "half year ago". That's the plot hole.

Hello my dear Magic Knight I have a question untill now, How the elves choose a certain people to possessed or what is the criteria that they've been possessed by the elves Exp. Luck and Gauche how they become an elves ? Did the elves put something to them ? or the elves choose to possess the strong people, Noble, Royal? Hmm

[@theindecisivegamer5036]

What about asta swords passing through patri portals during the fight with vetto

[@Br0ku]

I discussed this years ago. It’s just that the spatial portal is like a door, anti-magic is just flowing through the space. Not the actual magic (the door).

[@itsjustvin7630]

Like for the anti magic to affect the spatial magic it would hit the actual rim rather than piercing through perhapa

There's def more than one inconsistency in black clover.. I love black clover so don't get me wrong tho

What’s the other plot hole?

[@dallas12345]

great video! also what is the sound effect from that plays during the shot of lucius at 15:05?

[@TunbosunOyenuga]

I’ll say the only real inconsistency that I know is Asta sensing and not sense Magic at times. Early on Asta was about to sense Yami magical pressure during the Magic Knight Exam, but later we get Asta not being able detect. There are some hiccups in the Spade Arc with Asta detecting Magic and not again But it not really the biggest deal, almost everything putted to view under Ki and his sharp senses.

[@Br0ku]

That can actually still be explained

[@godofdeicide3987]

What if something happens in the movie that cuts away almost 5 months

[@jimbone17]

The only plot hole I noticed was Yuno reincarnating with an elf soul when he was from the spade kingdom. Did the elf souls go to all the kingdoms or just the clover kingdom?

[@Br0ku]

Not a plot hole. Dorothy is a witch and had an elven soul

[@nobody5093]

​@@Br0ku I wouldn't be so sure about that as we have no idea how the witch queen repopulates her kingdom with no men so that's still a maybe.

[@justintate6412]

The missing time might have came from the black clover movie released this year on Netflix

[@Br0ku]

the movie takes place days before spape arc

[@kitarokun6564]

The only thing that can fix this in my opinion is that if tabata confirms as I believe that the clover kingdom is a continent and not a country. It can be a continent separated by cultures like we have certain countries sharing a landmass but not a continent due to culture. For me the clover kingdom has always been a continent with a few major countries eg the royal capital is one , the common realm is another and the forbidden realm is another, the ruling superpower is the royal capital, the witches forest and underwater temple are separated countries from the clover kingdom as well.

black clover is the best longterm new gen shonen and i will stand with that point. it was interressting from the start had good pacing better than most long shonens intruiging fights . i basically binged it up until the end of the elf arc there i stopped for a bit because of the filler episodes. but as the spade arc has begun same again as with the start

I've never watched this anime, or any videos about it, and have never engaged with it. I was recommended this video more than EIGHT TIMES by KZbin. I literally can't follow this cause I don't know what any of these events or meanings are. WHY is KZbin recommending this to me??? This so in depth and niche to just be recommended because it's a popular series.

That's hilarious... KZbin just really promoting this video right now! It's my best video in like a year.

[@boblebuilder8043]

Here me out julius sneezed to hard and made 6 months flash in 1 second but from all the time that had past he forgot

[@JustinVanTrump]

No offense, but I don't think that is a plot hole considering the battle with Zagred was roughly 6 months after they joined, then there was the training in the Heart Kingdom which was supposed to be a 6 month timeskip until Vanica attacked early so it was only about 4 months, and when we got the reveal of Lucius Zogratis being the host to Astaroth he could've manipulated time by about another 8 months in order to make sure Asta could defeat Lucifero so Lucius could complete whatever his plan is; also it could be a mistranslation as well because it has been about 18 months since Asta and Yuno have received their grimoires, but I'm not 100% sure either way.

That’s not how age works though

@@Br0ku in Brazil, where I live, it's normal to refer to someone close to their birthday as being a year older by rounding up their ages. Maybe in Japan it's the same.

One piece has plot holes, but people still love it. When sanji met luffy, he didn't know about devil fruits, but growing up, he read a devil fruit encyclopedia, and wanted to pursue the clear clear fruit. Oda does that a lot, devil fruits are the big mysteries few know about, unless everyone knows about them. Same with Hunter x Hunter and Nen.

[@calmsounds1479]

Tbh there is a possibility this isn't a plot hole, obviously lucius has been manipulating the storyline and julius so this can result in time being messed with throughout the show, this is seen during spade kingdom, where asta's devil union cooldown and the gigantic clock tower doesn't match up, and we see the clock tower go forward and backwards in time during the arc and just time in general not matching up
