Guess who is back? 😅

Black Clover Chapter 288

Volume 28 sketches

Sorry for the delay in volume stuff... I worked 15 hours yesterday and got home 2 hours after the volume came out (3am for me) so going through the volume was the last thing on my mind 😅

Volume 28 Character Profiles

Definitely been a long time, the anime surely had it’s ups and downs - but it was very enjoyable, especially as it got closer to the end. Let’s pray for it’s eventual return! Thank you so much for the amazing series that we’ve spent the past 3 years watching!! 

PLUMEDE AND WALGNER! D:

Volume 28 - The Battle Begins

Black Clover Chapter 287

Jack cover ~

I feel so bad, I have like 4 chapters here to catch up on before the one comes out! Just been a bit of a weird month for me D:

First off, 282!! We finally get to see Asta’s Union Mode form, I like it... but at the same time I was a little disappointed? I am not quite sure why...

I really did enjoy seeing everyones thoughts on Asta, they are aware he’s possessed by a Devil, but they have faith in him and cheer him on (mostly Klaus here, but still xD) Though it was really cool to see how much Asta has progressed since the beginning - he really took that Ancient Demon down fast. 

I am not going to lie when I say I got very worried and sad about this panel, Gimodelo is genuinely worried for Nacht and it was at this point I was beginning to question Nacht’s relationship with his Devils - there seems to be some sort of connection there, we do know Nacht completely dominated the four of them in regards to the Binding, so I am curious on the way these Devils feel about Nacht. 

Gotta say Fuego was on fire this chapter, I really appreciated the amazing panels of him and Salamander flying around, burning every enemy in sight 🔥 But it was really hard to watch that he couldn’t really do much against the Devils, someone so powerful - yet could only do so much against the current enemy... What’s bothering me though is what can Fuego do here? We haven’t seen him use anything like mana-zone or such, is Spirit Dive even a possibility for him? I really wanna know here. 

This chapter was definitely hype though, with the Bulls collecting Asta in preparation to go and save their dear Captain - then ending off with Gaja’s amazing attack, Heart and the Elves arriving to help out! I am honestly excited to see what Patri will do this arc, seeing Gaja fight for real as well! 

*side note, I absolutely love that Tabata gave Maxa snow magic in reference to Snow Man

Good to see that their training was convenient enough for them here. 

Honestly this page here was really nice too, I am kinda laughing at Charmy though lol

I really like that we got a new race introduced too, at first glance I thought it was the Earth spirit - but I am glad that we have to wait a bit longer for that one to make an appearance. 

Good to see we got an explanation on the magic and such too.

Luck’s form is really cool, it really does just go through and destroy those Devils - god damn.

I wonder who else can use Ultimate magic now... I am hoping for Noelle and Gaja to get some action here most of all - but Leopold would be cool as well, especially in front of his siblings this time :D

Tabata really likes to just impale characters doesn’t he? Nacht was gonna be fine, no doubt - I can’t believe people were saying he was dead or dying...

This chapter was really enjoyable! 

Happy to see that we got a flashback to the fight with Nacht - I am glad to see Jack just didn’t leave him to die lol. Jack getting back up despite his condition was nice too, Nacht having some sort of faith in him is also good here. 

Walgner! The final name and form we had to see for Nacht and his little Devil buddies! This one was interesting to me, I really like the design for this one - probably in order it’d be Canis, Gallus, Felis and Equus out of personal preference :D

The Echo characteristic seems really cool as well, stunning the devils with some sort of screech and taking them out and putting them into a church lmao

Nacht switching between all the forms to fight was fun to watch - but still makes me wish he didn’t have to leave Gimodelo behind... He’d definitely be a help here or even back with Dante, such a shame really.

WE FINALLY GOT MORGEN INTRODUCED!! We knew since a while that there was a brother, maybe even a twin. I am in love with the names here, ngl. 

I saw this and got sad at first, in my mind it was like “damn, Nacht looked so genuinely happy back then” but turns out it’s his brother instead! Nacht looks like such a delinquent it’s absolutely hilarious - especially when you go back to when he insulted the Black Bulls, what a hypocrite 😂

Questionable looks/fashion choice aside, I find Nacht even more interesting with the beginning of this flashback - which I didn’t think was possible! Nacht’s definitely shot up to the top of my list, absolutely in love with how Tabata has handled his character thus far! Keep up the good work!!!

I do have a lot to say for the next chapter, but I will leave that for another post :D
