1-5 Fun Facts About Black Clover
1. Interestingly, in the initial concept of Black Clover, Asta was not intended to be the main character. Instead, the story was planned to revolve around Yuno.
2. But that doesn’t mean Asta wouldn’t have existed. Asta would have maintained his design and name but with a different personality—a calm and calculated prodigy similar to Yuno’s character.
3. So, why the switcheroo on Asta’s personality? Blame it on the Hungry Joker days. Tabata’s previous manga didn’t hit the jackpot, and he figured it was all because the main character was too cool and collected. Readers wanted someone they could relate to, so out went the prodigy vibe, and in came the screaming, hardworking Asta we all know and love.
4. In a real-life development, Asta and Noelle Silva’s English voice actors announced their engagement during the anime’s run.
5. Yami, the character in Black Clover, was inspired by Tabata’s own sensei, Toshiaki Iwashiro, the author of Psyren.
