I like it.
It makes the mana amount matter and it increases the worth of being a vice captain.

This is some Bleach shit right there

Theres also another category outside the pyramid for special people who apparently aren't that special because theres actually a fucking lot of them.

Fights are rarely 1v1, so the outcome stays unclear

Considering Yammy got offscreened by a duo canonically much weaker than some of the other Espada it's safe to say he was lying about the 0-9 thing for the sake of his own ego. He was never actually shown to be in the 0th spot rather than the 9th in terms of power output.

And then wasn't the number 4 guy actually the strongest because he was hiding a power that no one else knew about?

How did Zig Forums react when this was released

To be fair to these lot of them one is the daughter of the witch queen, one has a curse from birth, one has dark magic, one is possessed by a devil and another is a 500 year + mage that used the magic stones
From the arcanes that I remember only Gray doesn't have a really good reason other than transformation magic being really weird

Black Clover is an advanced deconstruction of the modern shonen genre. Completely cynical and borrows tropes from everyone while remaining mostly unoriginal.
It's success is proof to the shonen business that originality is all meaningless.

one of the most retarded things Tabata ever introduced

>Black Clover
>Deconstruction
It more like a parody

>intentionally copypastes tropes from the genre by the handful
You people need to google what "deconstruction" means

I feel like arcane is anyone who doesn't have some boring ass elemental magic that just grows in size with more mana. We don't know yet but i'd bet my ass the scales guy and the compass girl are arcanes too.

How come?

They are irregulars then some of those are arcane but it's not said why.
Maybe you need to master your feelings or skills.

BC, believe it or not, actually takes itself somewhat seriously. Not as much as other series like Naruto, Bleach, OP, MHA, CSM or JJK for example. So no, it’s not a parody.

The difference is that while Naruto was obnoxiously melodramatic and preachy, BC always manages to strike a good balance

Asta and Noelle's speeches are cringey though.
Asta also does a dramatic gag thing afterwards which ruins it.

>increases the worth of being a vice captain.
Nah, the only VCs worth shit will be the black bull one and Yuno.

The others haven't trained so they should be better when they show up again.
Solid and Nebra vs Zenon would be good.

Black Clover is a copy of every shitty trope and cliche of shonen battle manga. Power levels/ranking were bound to be added eventually.

JUST A COUPLE MORE OF HOURS UNTIL MIMOSA GETS LICKED AND STRIPPED

His speech to Langris was cringe but he really hit it out of the stadium saving Payri

They're always a death sentence.

Just saying power structures like this arent actually bad its how you subvert them after establishing them that makes or breaks it.

I consider it a chimera. You've got Naruto's protagonist in the world of Fairy Tail with the cast of Bleach. Author just took everything successful and threw it into a big pot.

How is it the world of Fairy Tail, and please don't tell me cause of magic.

You know damn well FT’s world was not the reason why it was successful.

>Arcane Stage>>>>>Stage Zero
>MUH SPECIAL POWERS

Fucking trash power ranking system

World of thots*

>Yammy was #0 on the Espada
>Ulquorria could have beaten him solo
>Yammy got defeated by two captains in his zero form

Yammy was a weak ass jobber.

An unintentional self-parody, maybe.

Yeah the Espada levels are a pretty terrible power structure but a good chunk of that is Ichigo's fault.
Like the series kinda expects me to buy that Kenpachi can beat the 5th Espada but also lose to Shikai Ichigo in the SS Arc and the excuse is "guh Ichigos power fluctuates"

God it’s amazing how that one little decision made so much shit

We have Mashle now.
