Black Clover' Gets Dark With Asta's New Power-Up

The latest episode of Black Clover was one fans wanted to see for quite a while. When Studio Pierrot originally confirmed the anime would continue on into a second season immediately after its first 51 episode order that advertised the arrival of Asta's most famous power-up from the manga.The day has finally come with Episode 63 where Asta transforms into his Black Asta form in a spectacular fashion and completely wipes out Ladros of the Diamond Kingdom.

In the latest episode of the series, when Asta is initially defeated by Ladros, the Witch Queen activates a spell that brings Asta to a new power. It turns out that when she healed his cursed arms, she actually infused a bit of her blood into his body. Doing so allowed her to activate his power and remove the natural limits he had on it that completely unleashes a demonic side of Asta,which gives him both the ability of flight along with an increased power and speed.

His power activates and he completely demolishes Ladros. Meeting all of his power with an impressive new attack, Black Meteorite, Asta wins the day at the end. When initially transforming, he's confronted by the demonic spirit of the sword that's been teased since the first episode, but rather than fall prey to it Asta remains in control even with his anti-magic power at this level.

As the Witch Queen explains, Asta's anti-magic sword usually drains all manga from the wielder and basically absorbs its wielders. But since Asta has no magic, he instead has become a host for the anti-magic and it's completely flowed through his body. He's activated its power little by little, but has alwasy managed to subdue it or limit it before it goes to wild. But that's not the case here.
