The Black Bulls RANKED and EXPLAINED!

[@birdup2141]

Gauche and his sister love was played up heavily in the anime, in the manga it isn’t that bad and he doesn’t say 75% of the creepy stuff and it’s explained he gets nosebleeds when he feels intense care for someone shown when he was trying to find a way to fix asta’s arms with gordon, basically in the manga what he says about his sister is just worded weirdly for the joke but in the anime they flat out just made him creepier

[@Lupinemancer87]

It's baffling how different manga Gauche and anime Gauche's love for Marie are when you compare them. The anime really turned his sister thing up to 11.

[@randyxarrigeorge3487]

This is what I hoped Naruto was. Black Clover does so much for the main cast why still not making them surpass the higher ups from the beginning. Captains are still feared and powerful. Unlike Naruto where Jonin and Kage is just a name now.

It occurred to me after a while what the Black Bulls actually were. Where as the golden dawn where the 'heroes of the realm', the shining examples of good (despite not being) the black bulls were...black ops. On the power scale, they are actually equal though its not obvious. They were known as brutes but also never failed missions. They were the ones sent to do the dirt work.

bit of a correction at around 12:20 arcane magic is determined by your mana type, arcane magic is magic that is unnatural to the world of black clover and defies standard conventions, created from citizens of the clover kingdom blocking out natural mana over generations, or granted through devils, only Grey(transmutation magic), Secre(sealing), vanessa(fate), william (world tree), yami(dark), julius(time), devil hosts, and Asta by technicality are considered to be arcane

Nah arcane magic is just magic that has some attribute that ignores the normal tier system they have, secres sealing magic even tho she is weak can seal whomever no matter how strong they are so it can’t really be ranked hence it is arcane, all the steel or dice magic are considered unnatural but they aren’t arcane since they don’t bypass the normal tier system and there are multiple arcane mages that aren’t as openly told such as Morris and Dorothy.

[@aleksandrbulanov1654]

I think Black Clover is a manga that embodies the aspect of "Anti-Meta is the true Meta" more than any other. People that have anti-magic capabilities should be stronger than anyone else based on the fact that everyone uses magic. Someone like Noelle is incredibly powerful but people that have anti-magic spells are much stronger, as long as their magic isn't limited by circumstantial technicalities. For instance, portal magic is incredibly powerful if used to its utmost ability, as it can redirect offensive magic. Grey's magic can transmute others'. Charmy's can "cook" that magic. Asta however, has a cloak that makes him immune to all, making him the strongest of all, unless the opponent overpowers him in physical combat despite that.

[@sussus3974]

Agreed, like how wire cutters are stronger than electricians

[@astrology_2]

Asta can actually be overwhelmed by magic and effected by it if he doesn’t scale to it

I am surprised you ranked Gauche last. His mirror brigade can be great in support, since he can make copies of himself or others. That is the good thing though, because a lot of the characters that might be considered weak are great support characters.

[@makkapakka4539]

Yea gauche is not the weakest😂

[@idkwhatswhat2382]

I think it is better to say that Gauche is weakest due to lack of synergy he has to the other members and since he is rarely a team player, he tends to be overshadowed a lot

[@RonnieM90]

Zora also is not a team player. Gauche can use mirror brigade to help others when needed.

[@randyxarrigeorge3487]

Asta will never be fully stronger than Yami. That's just the Black Clover way, captains stay captains. He may be momentarily stronger but never fully till EOS

[@Amunation28]

​@randyxarrigeorge3487 What do you mean? Yuno is already stronger than all the captains with his two grimoires. Just that we haven't seen Asta yet since he mastered Ki, but he should be stronger than all the captains as well, or they should both be at least at captain level.

Problem with Gauche is that he's borderline OP when he's going all out and being serious. Unfortunately he's being serious ONLY when someone hurts his sister in front of him. Under any other circumstances he's just a support background character, which is kinda infuriating. I have never seen character being held back this much by poorly though out personality gimmick, it's just wild.

The only thing that upsets me about the teleporter and the black bulls is that he didn't really think outside the box so he's able to teleport to places or teleport to things that he has seen. Then you should meet someone that has like a image ability and ask him to show him the bottom of the ocean. Since he went to the ocean nation he can make a portal out in the middle of the water in a deepest part he can see. I sent you making a water cannon that can destroy anything when you opens up a gateway down there. Or someone maybe a vision magic and he sees bars. He can make them look straight up. See space now in century. Has a gateway to space itself opening up on someone either kill them by sending them to the space or flash freezing them but open up space in front of their face.

I freaking love gordon, possibly my favorite (non fight) scene in the whole anime is when he goes back to reconcile with his family and learn his dad's powerful curse magic that he just knows his family uses to "make money" and he assumes he is an assassin or torturer or something, and he goes into his evil looking dungeon with chains hanging on the walls, and his dad reveals that he is just a doctor, and like, a really good one. Like the whole family is just as nice as Gordon and all they want to do is help people too, they're just goth and scary. I just imagine Gordon's dad being like "hang on, for your entire life, you have thought that I, your father, was a homicidal masochistic monster, and you didn't think that even warrented a conversation? Not even one follow up question? Were you OK with that?" Like that is kind of more telling about gordon than his dad, his dad. He kept saying he wanted to teach him his magic to take over the family business, I feel like there had to be a lot of wild assumptions on Gordon's part for him to make it to that age and not realize that his dad is a doctor and not, in fact, a literal torturer. I know they're creepy, but come on man, not one "how was work today?" or "hey, what was up with that painful scream that shook the floor boards earlier?" or "hey dad, are you torturing people in your study, because it really seems like you are?" Where his dad could have responded with the VERY simple answer of "I'm a doctor, people come to me BECAUSE they are in pain, and then I help them" I mean Jesus, if I was his dad I would be offended that my son would ever think that.

I think he could also use his ability more like Minato used FTG, though he did that a bit but needing to be thrown first. I'd like to see him surround himself in portals so that he's effectively untouchable and when hit him from any angle just hit the enemy from another angle.
