Let me list the copy allegations and debunk them 1. Luck's black orbs 2. Asta sharing anti-magic 3. Magna and Luck's combo spell The debunk to number 1 is quite simple. Luck has since the Spade Saga has orbs in his transformation. They are meant to symbolize the thunder God. Them turning black is cuz anti magic. Plus Kishimoto doesnt own black orbs Second it was forshadowes that Asta would be able to share anti magic. Its what Licht did with the sword. He isnt striking them with he's combining it with their innate attributes. So its like multiplication rather than addition/subtraction And finally the combo speel was an nod to when they fought Vetto and lost so they used it again and won. Plus Magna uses fire so yes the spell would have fire

[@mhassan8701]

I don't care about the rest but Sharing Anti-magic still doesn't make sense. First: Litch shares magic and mana with elves that use magic and mana. We all know that the Law was mages use Mana to cast Magic. Second: Demon Dweller belong to Litch as he has sword magic ability which blade can share magic. So, if Asta used it to store magic and throw it back it's acceptable. No rule was broken. Third: Anti-magic negates Magic but then now all. of sudden, it can be shared. According to the established rule, then their magic will be off but no it was just some shitty power-up that make no sense. Of course, if he said Asta Grimore has no Anti-magic but something else then we all can agree to it.

[@phantom9831]

@@mhassan8701 Well for your third point, that's were people often didn't understand what Asta really shared, he didn't actually directly shared Anti-magic, he shared the properties of the anti-magic, no rule was broken For example, Luck's lighting magic became Lightning anti-magic, as in lightning magic with the properties of Anti-magic, which can negate magic or pursue the greatest amount of mana around for example

[@NestleL]

@@mhassan8701 About Anti-magic negating Magic. Asta can choose what his Anti-magic negates. This is how he could go trough Finral's portals when they fought Vetto without negating them, even when he was plunging trough them sword first.

I liked the chapter and honestly, I think saying that is ripping off naruto is weird. the antimagic orbs are, as you said, a reference to raijin, Luck being the strongest lightning user we have makes sense having them. They work as the antimagic has always worked, following sources of magic. Asta imbuing antimagic is new overall, but mixing antimagic and magic is not, is literally his second sword, and the final attack, what were we expecting from a combo between magma and luck, an ice attack? of course is gonna be fire and lightning, and being magma the least talented mage in the black bulls has to be a simple thing, that's why is a sphere

Saying BC ripped from Naruto this chapter has to be one of the biggest stretches I've ever heard in my life, Luck in his Lightning Fiend state always has lightning orbs around him, it's just a color change. Asta sharing his power, has entirely different context, foreshadowing, how it works is different, and how much he can do it is different. The final combo spell is a callback to the Magna and Luck vs Veto fight, it's obvious if you remember. To the Naruto fans, that jump at every opportunity to downplay the amount of work Tabata put in or accuse him of copying x, y, and z. You using these points of the series shows you probably have nearly no knowledge about what actually happening in the story, or you might not have knowledge about the series at all. It also shows you take time out of your day, to make accusations, when they're not true, to boost the series you love so much up and push BC down. You guys make people not want to watch or read the series you love and honestly bring shame upon the Naruto community. As a fellow Naruto fan, y'all are ass individuals.

Truer words have never been spoken, like calling black clover a rip off of Naruto is so stupid because every little similarities they have ohh it's copying Naruto like, what's the point? Are they trying to say Naruto did it first or something? Either way it's totally unnecessary and people like myself who started to watch Naruto but had to stop because of exams and stuff now have no desire to pursue a series with such toxic fans who downplay another series for no reason at all than to try and make there's look better when Naruto is already an extremely successful series, but now with all the hate and shit they throwing black clovers way sooner or later more and more people might grow to hate the Naruto fanbase and those who haven't watched it won't want to 🤦 like seriously what's there problem caz Naruto is a series about ninjas while black clover is 1 about magic and magical entities they are completely different series n every copy clover allegations I've seen so far has always been proved wrong or debunked because the series are in the same genre 🤦

@@leoknight6338 I watched Naruto and I watched/read most of BC. I don't consider myself as part of one fanbase or the other but it is pretty obvious where BC takes it's .. inspiration from. While there are definitely some key differences the cool famous kid as a rival and a demonic entity in the body of the main character is just down right a copy from the story of Naruto.

[@leoknight6338]

@IceMyser Yuno was only famous when he got his 4 leaf clover while Sasuke was famous from his childhood, and inner demons isn't exclusive to Naruto for example Ichigo, and you can find way more similarities to bc n bleach, Mereoleona being a female version of zaraki, lucius being inspired by aizen, Mimosa having broken healing and decent offensive abilities like orihime n more also Tabata uses alot of fairytales in his story like Noelle being the ugly duckling, yuno and bell being Peter pan n tinker bell u get my point right? It's not copying or inspired by naruto in the slightest.

[@kenslycarpel3140]

​@@IceMyserWell, Yuno Isn't exactly famous at the start the of story, just gifted, he really becomes famous during the Spade Saga since it's told he has fanclubs around the kingdom where Sasuke, being part of the Uchiha, was famous from the start. Even the way they're cool is different as Yuno's stoicism stems from his respect for Asta since he used to be a big crybaby until Asta saved him, which isn't the case for Sasuke. But then you say something I don't understand. You said that there's a demonic entity inside Asta, but that isn't the case, Liebe isn't inside Asta, he's inside Asta's grimoire, which is a very big difference since that mean if he's separated from the book, he can't use any of his powers. This was shown in the Devil Banisher/Believer Arc when his grimoire was stolen and during that time, he couldn't access anything, no swords, no transformation, no nothing. That doesn't even address the fact that if Liebe was indeed inside of Asta, the former's origin story makes no sense, Liebe was sealed into the grimoire by Licita to protect him from Lucifero's control, that action leading to the grimoire even gaining anti-magic in the first place. You said you've consumed most of BC, so I don't how you made that error as that fact was common knowledge from an early point in the story.

Y’all forget that Tabata also worked on the manga Phsyren, that is probably where he got the idea for the black orbs, plus the final attack that luck and magna used was literally an anti magic version of an attack they used hundreds of chapters ago. Saying these are Naruto inspired things is genuinely stupid.

[@stfinalwrath]

Its like the concept that all music is going to sound exactly like some other kind of music. They'll share the same chords, or a note sequence will be exceptionally similar etc. That's the thing about any and all entertainment media. It's all been around for a few decades at least at this point between anime, video games, music, etc, in the modern scope, not really referring to ancient music and entertainment here. People in anime seem to actually be awakening to the realization that pretty much every concept has already been done to death and the only real variance is character personality and incorporation of power systems, but fundamentally it's pretty much all the same. So, personally I'd just find which shows I'd find personally enjoyable and enjoy them as they are, and not waste pointless time and breath comparing them to similar shows. Because literally everything on this planet is similar to something, somewhere. Just enjoy what you enjoy regardless and don't apologize for it. Most people just want something to bitch about because God forbid they try to be happy and just enjoy things for once.

[@DeltaGreen03]

First off, before I get into my "gripes" I want you to know, your content is very clearly edited and your opinions/scripting is honestly pretty great for these kinds of commentary. 1) Anti-Magic sharing, while out of the blue, is technically subtly hinted at with the Demon-Dweller Sword itself. Asta has used this sword to use magic slashes from an Anti-Magic blade, the elves had used the sword to share each other's powers and protect each other, so this doesn't seem too out of the blue. I would've liked more setup, but honestly, it's not too bad when I think about it. 2) The "Truth Seeking Orbs" are fucking stupid. Everyone knows Luck has Lightning Magic, every anime fan basically knows the Raijin mythos atp, yet when they suddenly turn black and NOT a major part of the chapter, that's when people throw a fit? They actually need to grow up. 3) The last attack of Luck and Magna is a reference to their Combo Spell against Vetto. This is nothing new for them, and once again, just because it's black now, people throw a fit? I'm sorry, but saying "Naruto this" or "Naruto that" whenever people talk about Black Clover is infuriating, as it genuinely seems like the Naruto fans are either trying to discredit Tabata's hard work on this manga, or they have this superiority complex that Ikemoto invented everything in Shonen and Naruto is the best thing ever. I haven't read or watched Naruto, and with these fans trashing my favorite series like this, I don't think I ever will. That, and my friends that actually enjoyed it say the majority of the females and side characters are trash, the ending sucks, and Boruto is just there Once again, great video and good content, but Jesus, I did not expect a Twitter conversation as a YT video

Truthfully, I loved Black Clover, Asta resonates with me as a hard-working Protagonist who has a goal to be King. But I hate it when lack or insufficient creativity leads to breaking the very LAW set with no sufficient reasons. Defenders said that Asta's sword can take magic and return it. I agree, that was the ability of the sword, not Asta. Defenders also said that Elves share magic in battle, this further highlights that Demon Dweller Sword has that ability. But they share magic abilities and mana. I agree all about that, but that didn't break any set rules of the Black Clover World. It was a set Rule that Asta obtain Anty-magic from Balck Clover Grimoire. Throughout the series, it was explained and shown that Anti-magic negate Magic. We all know Magic can only be cast using Mana, and Asta was explained time and time again that he has no Mana. As a manaless it's possible to accept magic, perhaps using an artefact like the sword of the king. I can consent to that. However, it's going against the predisposed Rule that has been in the series from the beginning of the series that Anti-magic negate Magic and now suddenly, Asta can share that Anti-magic which negates Magic to his friends. According to the set rules, their magic should be turned off, their mana erased and won't cast any magic that uses mana. But that doesn't happen rather, they can use magic but the elements change, saying it turned to anti-magic while still using magic. Come on, we must be dumb just to accept that. THE SET RULE WAS ANTI-MAGIC NEGATE MAGIC AND NOW IT DOSNT... THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE

[@phantom9831]

While I can agree that it doesn't seem to make sense at first glance, it doesn't technically break any rules, since Asta didn't acutally shared the anti-magic itself, but only the properties of anti-magic, meaning that for a short amount of time, the black bulls are able to use their magic, with the properties of anti-magic, such as negating magic, or pursue the greatest amount of magic Luck's magic attribute then became, for a short amount of time anti-magic attribute

There’s a lot of good and also a lot of avenues to which tabata can extend the story and continue to flesh everything out about black clover. Personally i think some of the black bulls will be written off, as well as other characters. I think it would be a cool moment to possibly bring in the hino country characters into the fold and final battle as Astas biggest strength is creating friendships with everyone

People need to understand that drawing manga takes a fucking long time, just one page can take more than a day

[@spicrocker88]

If that is considered ripping off then no manga/anime is original. Almost all manga take inspiration form other manga. Inspiataions and rip offs are very different. These examples are obvious inspiration based not ripped off

[@ldonald3211]

Black Clover was getting compared to Naruto since people were reading it in the West. Anybody who's surprised or complaining now is either late or just stupid. Either way it didn't stop you from dropping the series then so shut your mouth and read it now, or in 3 months. Also, I like how everyone brings up Togashi whenever someone takes a hiatus. I'm starting to believe that's how all mangakas in the industry discuss time off. Mangakas: "Hey, can I take time off?" Shueisha: "No" Mangakas: "But my doctor says the gruelling work schedule is affecting my health and I need an extended vacation". Shueisha: "No". Mangakas: "You let Togashi take years off! I'm just asking for a few months, DAMN! Shueisha (grabs head and sighs): "Fine, can you at least do a chapter monthly". Mangakas: "You'll get quarterly and like it, bitch". It's petty but that's exactly how I'd play it.

[@nickpick9864]

Black clover was getting compared to naruto ever since the naruto fan base collectively decided it'd be cool to stop using their brains before speaking

[@BigDauntless]

I’m ok with the wait since I got use to the wait for Nana because of Ai Yazawas health issues so it’s cool. Hope all will become well for them very soon

[@TEJM45]

Lumiere and Litch had used the demom dweller sword before to share their magic with the magic knights against Zagred. And tht last attack was basically redemption cos the last tym they tried to use it against vetto it didn't work. As much as I love Naruto, Yuki Tabata has made it very clear tht he took no inspiration from Naruto

[@baptisterodriguez8920]

Magna and Luck have done this before against vetto

[@geekedstoner4209]

Was that a anti magic rasengan 😂😂😂💀💀 kinda fire tho

[@spartanpndz9804]

I like hearing people be able to pronounce Faust correctly since its my last name and no one ever gets it right they usually pronounce it Fawst instead of Fowst Also im pretty sure the only reason for the 28 pages opposed to Jump Giga's usual 50 is because the was only enough room for 28 pages in the latest volume, so its safe to assume that there will be a 50 page long chapter in 3 months

[@therealsavage2151]

Rajin is not exclusively from Naruto

[@Witch_King_Ken]

Why are we bringing up naruro instead of literally anything else about how fire Black Clover has been 😭😭

[@donovanfaust3227]

Because at the end of the day, as unbiased as he tries to seem, he's a Narutard like the rest of the fandom. God forbid we just discuss the chapter, no instead we focus in on superficial similarities that have been set up in the manga earlier. If anything this just goes to show how badly written Naruto is because at least there was foreshadowing and callbacks to previous chapters in Black Clover to justify these instances of power sharing, and cosmetic similarities. In Naruto, stuff just happened, if he liked an idea Kishimoto would just throw it in, no rhyme or reason. Why can Naruto share his cloak all of a sudden? When has there ever been an instance like that beforehand to foreshadow the use of this technique? BC set that up in the Elf Arc way back when, almost like Tabata had an actual planned story. Black orbs behind powerful characters? Well in Naruto they just show up, in BC Luck has normal colored lightning orbs long before the infusion of black anti-magic, and as Nick pointed out, clearly a reference to Raijin, not Naruto. Remember way earlier in the anime/manga when Naruto and Sasuke combined their attacks into one, failing, before doing it again successfully on the BBG in the final chapters? No? Weird. Narutards can complain as much as they want but when it comes to overall story quality, BC has Naruto beat by leaps and bounds.

[@deityquan2312]

if people are referring to the fact asta can share his anti-magic with his allies let's not forget that always been something the dweller-sword could do since the shadow palace battle. lucius having clones you really can't say its copying from naruto because there are lot of anime's where a character can clone themself. luck already had those orbs floating behind him when it was just lightning battle fiend.

[@Greenplays00]

The fact that you discussed the unofficial translation speaks a lot to your character

[@captinchillin]

This was a lovely appointment. See you again in three months

[@JacksonJonez]

I really thought he was bout to say Morgan Freeman since I was rollin my blunt 😭😂😂🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥 7:05

[@hiro_code0164]

Luck and Magna combining their magic is a reference when they did the exact same thing to Vetto back in the Underwater Castle arc (Can't remember the actual name for that arc so I improvised)

[@baptisterodriguez8920]

Asta isn't in is devil union form , just a black form

[@SchlongoOnThisSchlimazel]

Thank you Nick, for being Nick.

[@Jazz-xq2fp]

Luck had these orbs from the fight against demons….they were just pure lightning at the time tho….but all his lightning now is black so his orbs too are black

[@joethecook7260]

This is so sad people need to quit with the naruto crap. Naruto is in the past, STOP COMPARING

[@SmallOneEyedKing]

Luck Black Ligthning Orbs are not Rip off. Luck already has Lightning orbs since the beginning it was just enhanced my Anti Magic.

[@phantom9831]

and it's just a reference to a japanese god of thunder

[@MoDeLi370]

I'd put it up to coincidence that it was luck and magma that 1 hold those elemental abilities, and that they attack like that it just makes sense

[@christianbinneh189]

Bro they did the exact same combo spell against veto but it failed and they got bodied. Now the spell is way more evolved and black and suddenly the Naruto fans awake

[@LupineShadowOmega]

Its also an attack they used against Vetto that failed there. Its just them actually getting the win after it whiffing before.

[@calvincrenshaw9893]

Nick cooked this one….I feel like instead of comparing it as a “rip off” we should see that it’s the shonen template that cause the issue. But expecting a shonen to not be a shonen is insane

[@lgd5k962]

It's kinda weird when Nick talks about Naruto on this it's as if it's crossover of both his channels 😂😂

[@litsitsotlali7352]

idk why but the combo attack reminded me of the sting and rouge unison raid

[@manosbaroulakis9446]

You realise it's possible that this is gonna be the only chapter that's less than 30 pages right, wasn't chapter 369 supposed to be the end of a volume or am I misinformed?

[@MiGWar82]

Hopefully he'll be able to fatten these up a bit and get through them faster and make the 3 month wait between chapters a bit more tolerable

[@Nowaness]

Tabata is slowly turning into Togashi lmao

[@SHADOWFLAMEVIDEOS]

The combo reminds me of sting an rouges combo from fairy tail more tbh.

[@LupineShadowOmega]

Its one they even used before, it was just ineffective back then.

[@kenjisclips]

Mans be moving more than my bobblehead on my car

[@stuckinstuff1814]

Its super tropy and naruto just happens to be a well known progenitor of said tropes for shonen anime.

[@Nhlakuneepo]

Not even the progenitor. It (Naruto) also took from Hunter x Hunter and Yu Yu Hakusho. These tropes started ages ago.

[@elrick44]

Black Clover is derivative of Naruto? In other news: Fire is hot

[@RyanWilliams-ez1rh]

In Dragonball everyone shares their energy to one person not one person sharing with everyone

[@eh9618]

16:08 so naruto's tailed beast cloaks are more like stat boosts while asta's anti-magic is more like infusing a debuff into their attacks. they themselves don't get any stats buffs, but now anyone they hit gets a debuff

[@JayDiamond14]

I can only imagine how the feels about JJK being animated next century

[@darknexis8]

I get the “main character giving his friends a power up “ being similar but it’s not that big a deal and is written into the world really well

[@kaleknelson8429]

Yea the rate and length of the chapter is nothing to complain about. shifting the rate of output, was the point of moving the manga to a 3 month time line.

[@mahnwaoutloud.]

nah they did the cannon ball thing against vetto

[@thelone3966]

STING AND ROUGR FROM FAIRY TAIL DO A SIMILAR COMBO ATTACK

[@Lordsixthhokage-k3c]

love your vids

[@theidpboi6205]

LET'S GO! ...ALSO, PAIN! (Black clover in a nutshell rn...thanks for this though nick)

[@Whodat]

Mangakas are dropping like flies. Killing themselves for our love of their art. We shouldn't complain.

[@ItsJustJei]

i say this everytime but RAHHHH MORE BLACK CLOVER CONTENT

[@jermale39]

I do believe that the anti magic gave them physical boost. People should stop complaining an be happy that a struggling person is still trying to please there audience. Health is more important then entertainment

[@vao519]

its 28 due to there being remaining pages for the Volume, it would have been longer if the Volume linit wasnt part of it, so if the Release change happend 2 ch pter we would have a much longer chapter

[@highrollermarv3293]

Man idec black clover is just a W overall

[@K2004-i4p]

Like back in the the elf arc where asta and others where fighting Zagred llicht used the demon dweller sword to put a protective “coat” and even was a power amplifier around the people in the dark palace to protect themselves against that purple goop that would decay everything. To me it’s a basic function of the sword not a copy.

[@Smooby_Dooperson]

So I’m also curious about Charmy and her backstory … was it ever explained ??

[@Mustache99]

she is half dwarf If I remember correctly

[@LokiToxtrocity]

No her backstory hasn't been explored at all, I'm starting to think Tabata wants to keep it a secret

[@christianbinneh189]

Not exactly in the land of the sun the ocharmy dolls were kind of a subtle hint. And I trust Tabata when it comes to back stories I'm pretty sure dwarves have a connection to Earth spirit still yet to be reveiled as well so I'm sure it's a future plot point. Black clover still has a ways to go , heck Asta father, the timeline of his birth and yuno's birth, Soo Much more just let Tabata Cook.​@@LokiToxtrocity

[@professorpengu502]

She is a half wldwarf who was orphaned at some point

[@sasukethelast9515]

Some say she’s the earth spirit

[@zackerybreezee]

Im so confused. At the beginning you said chapter 396. But you meant 369. Right? RIGHT? Because i cant find 370+ anyyywhere

[@maku3857]

Luck has been having orbs they just weren’t black

[@calvintrombone]

I need merch that simply says “Boy O Boy”

[@keyblademaster004]

Lets not forget the lightning queen cat godess herself Yoruichi. We should be getting to see her lightning ball ring in the anime soon...

[@DaFanofFiction]

To add on to the whole Naruto comparison I see what people are saying but it can’t just be a copy because luck is the only lightning magic user of the black bulls and from what we have seen so far the only one with the black orbs

[@phantom9831]

well yes, he had these black orbs even before and it seems it's an inspiration from a japanese thunder god

[@ADeckOfZero]

Black Clover is very arguably a better story than Naruto, a lot of people just have nostalgia blinders for Naruto because it was their first Shonen. Asta sharing his antimagic honestly feels more natural than Naruto suddenly being able to split his Jin-Cloak a thousand ways. My only complaint with this chapter is it resolved probably the final fight my two favorite characters will get in the entire series way too fast.

[@qvcybe]

i used the orbs like truth seeking orbs like a timer for one of my mages power up mode ( aka they show how much mana he has left ) (i only use the orbs sense it feels the most magical for my oc)

[@tristanrowanmooijman3549]

Dude... luck has demon circle... those are very common in tabatas work like in his former manga something something joker it is a really wierd comperason to say that a demon circle of lightning orbs while a character is in a demonic form amped with demon magic is a ripp off of Naruto that is a dumb critasism

[@Mustache99]

I mean orb around a character is probably a reference to the raijin just like enel from one piece is, for the copying part shounen has never been innovative and in reality nothing is it just takes something that already exist and differently shape it Also a chapter will probably be asta vs yuno for the title of wizard king

[@zujib234]

Idk chief, these are two supporting characters facing a clone of the big bad. Compa4ing that to the two mc's fighting the secondary big bad is a bit. Well. Meh.

[@kennethjimenez5185]

I stopped the whole “this anime ripped off that anime” trope a long time ago. They all, with almost no exception, borrow, homage or coincidentally mirror scenes, plot devices, powers, character traits, settings, etc. it’s just the way it is.

[@decayingstudios1107]

but thats operating under that thinking that every single chapter after is going to have 28 pages and only 2 characters each defeating another lucias

[@edenflorentin9482]

I feel like I may be reaching a bit, but is it possible that the trend of "Big pitch black orb filling most of the page", is just because it's easier to draw? And this whole controversy could be solved by just using a different shape to fill the page? Because if you replace the black orbs with diamonds or stars, it'd look pretty epic.

[@kenslycarpel3140]

If the black orb you're talking about is the combo spell, then there'd be no reason to change it as it's merely an upgraded version of an attack Magna and Luck created 305 or so chapters ago that was an orb, just a smaller one.

[@garyallen1473]

Black Clover just started their own 4th Great Shinobi War.
