25:16[00:00] Today we're diving straight into the
[00:01] world of Black Clover to break down all
[00:04] levels of Asta's powers, going from
[00:07] absolute zero all the way up to his most
[00:10] absolute god tier form. In each one,
[00:13] we'll go deep on his swords, anti-magic,
[00:16] devil unions, transformations, and every
[00:18] insane power-up he unlocked. Asta is so
[00:21] powerful now that he can move thousands
[00:24] of times faster than light, blow up
[00:26] small planets, and has the strongest
[00:28] defense in the history of Black Clover.
[00:31] And because of this, everyone is
[00:33] learning Asta is him. He's gone
[00:36] head-to-head with multiple high-ranked
[00:38] devils, has one of the drippiest
[00:40] transformations in anime, and has five
[00:43] girls wanting his big black sword. Nice.
[00:47] However, one day everything changed when
[00:50] this guy showed up. Lucius entering the
[00:53] story has completely flipped the
[00:55] narrative of Black Clover. In a matter
[00:57] of minutes, this man declares himself
[00:59] the ultimate Wizard King, defeats Asta
[01:02] in seconds, and then proceeds to take
[01:04] his girl. Don't tell me with this. After
[01:07] being defeated by Lucius, Asta awoke in
[01:10] the Hino Country, where he met the
[01:12] Ryuzen Seven. They taught Asta the
[01:14] ability he needs to defeat Lucius, as
[01:17] his only weakness is physical attacks.
[01:20] And now he has become 100 times
[01:23] stronger. Ladies and gentlemen,
[01:25] liability is called Zetten. However,
[01:29] this begs the question, how strong is
[01:31] Asta now? And what does 100 times
[01:33] stronger even look like? In chapter 339,
[01:37] it is stated Zetten is the process of a
[01:39] manipulating one's ki and building up
[01:42] magic power throughout their body. Ryuya
[01:44] explains that in the Hino Country, a
[01:46] person's ki is unconsciously turned into
[01:49] your Yoryoku, their equivalent to magic.
[01:52] But when someone does this consciously,
[01:55] they can take that energy and make it
[01:57] erupt in a single part of their body,
[01:59] producing Zetten. Asta compares the
[02:02] process to mana zones from the kingdom,
[02:04] just in this case using ki as its basis
[02:08] and then radiating it. He doesn't have
[02:10] any magic, so he has to substitute it
[02:13] for his anti-magic. In chapter 341, Asta
[02:17] learns that his new technique can be
[02:19] used in multiple different forms, such
[02:22] as someone using 50% of their power in
[02:24] two strikes or evening it out to 20%
[02:27] across five. Remember, Zetten is an
[02:30] ability that the best of the best
[02:32] Yojutsu users can spend years trying to
[02:36] master and never achieve. Yet, it only
[02:38] took Asta a few days to learn it and
[02:41] then master it. This puts it into
[02:44] perspective just how skilled Asta is and
[02:47] how his usage of ki in previous arcs has
[02:50] been leading up to this moment. In the
[02:52] end, it wasn't Asta's skill or battle
[02:55] prowess that held him back mastering
[02:57] Zetten, but his resolve and conviction.
[03:00] After losing to Lucius, Asta felt
[03:03] obsolete, stating, "I'm not gifted. I
[03:05] can't afford to lose. Just keep getting
[03:08] stronger and don't lose again. If you
[03:10] lose, then become stronger than you were
[03:12] before." However, Ryu states to Asta
[03:15] that every once in a while his attention
[03:18] lapses, which gives Ichika, a member of
[03:21] the Ryuzen Seven, the opportunity to
[03:23] destroy him. And that's what Lucius is
[03:26] doing as well. This is how the both of
[03:29] them defeat Asta and make him black out.
[03:32] Yosuga, the strongest Ryuzen, stated
[03:35] that Asta worries too much and that it
[03:37] doesn't matter what kind of magic
[03:39] someone has, as Asta's Zetten can cut
[03:43] through it. This is because Asta's
[03:45] anti-magic Zetten is the strongest
[03:47] counter against anyone. As long as he
[03:49] can see his opponent's attack, it's game
[03:52] over and you win the fight.
[03:54] >> That's why he's the goat. And now, if
[03:56] you didn't know, this is because the
[03:58] proficiency with Zetten is tied to your
[04:01] convictions, resolve, and determination.
[04:04] When Asta arrives in the land of the
[04:06] sun, he's in a very doubtful state,
[04:09] believing he wasn't strong enough to
[04:10] beat Lucius and that he was a failure.
[04:13] And so, to address the weak resolve that
[04:16] Yuno claimed Asta to have in chapter
[04:19] 348, the Paladin Yuno manifests his
[04:23] greatest fear. In Asta's case, it was
[04:26] his doubt that he could become stronger.
[04:28] But with Zetten, Asta surpasses his
[04:31] limits and destroys this version of
[04:33] himself instantly. A better mental state
[04:36] allows someone to fight better, and
[04:38] Zetten is just part of that arsenal. In
[04:41] order to find out just how strong Asta's
[04:44] Zetten is, we need to do some power
[04:46] scaling. Let's begin with just how much
[04:49] faster Asta has become. Well, the fact
[04:51] that in episode 1, he literally traveled
[04:54] faster than captains could register, it
[04:57] proves Asta was already above average.
[05:00] And it's hard to comprehend this, but
[05:03] Asta had already become faster than
[05:05] light by chapter 50 onwards. As Yami and
[05:09] Gauche confirmed, Patri was light speed.
[05:11] This is before Patri's dark elf
[05:14] transformation, which made him even
[05:15] faster and stronger. But Asta scales
[05:18] higher than him many times over by the
[05:21] end of the elf arc after defeating
[05:23] Zagred. However, Asta can go beyond the
[05:26] speed of captains before even the time
[05:29] skip began. We know this by taking a
[05:32] look at chapter 146. At that point of
[05:35] time, Sol Leon was multiple times faster
[05:38] than light in the power scaling and
[05:40] launched her attack to Raya. However,
[05:42] Asta still managed to hit him before any
[05:45] of her attacks landed to save him,
[05:47] proving his speed was above the
[05:49] strongest captain before any further
[05:51] power-ups. If you didn't know, in Black
[05:54] Clover, increasing your magic means
[05:56] increasing your speed. So, as the story
[05:59] goes on, these guys are getting faster
[06:02] and faster. Magna in chapter 124 threw
[06:05] fireballs at Asta so fast that he
[06:08] couldn't read them with his key, which
[06:10] means even his father's ass was scaling
[06:13] faster than light at this point since
[06:16] Asta was capable of keeping up with that
[06:18] speed prior. And what's insane is that
[06:21] the Dark Triad arc displayed the
[06:23] difference between Magna and Dante.
[06:26] Magna was 500 times weaker than Dante
[06:29] with Lucifero at 100%, but when Naamah
[06:32] and Lilith arrived, they made even Dante
[06:36] bricks in chapter 279, where chapter 280
[06:39] clearly states they scale even higher
[06:42] than him. In fact, we are told by Nacht
[06:45] their power is more than just 1 + 1,
[06:47] meaning they are twice as strong as
[06:50] Dante with Lucifero. Thus, via Magna's
[06:53] graph, he could be 2,000 times weaker
[06:56] than their fusion transformation at a
[06:58] minimum. And guess what? Asta's
[07:01] imperfect Devil Union was keeping up
[07:03] with those supreme devils and eventually
[07:06] killed them, which meant he was already
[07:08] scaling thousands of times more than
[07:11] Magna or every other magic knight before
[07:14] mastering his Devil Union
[07:16] transformation, which essentially means
[07:18] Asta can attack hundreds of times faster
[07:21] than light. And now you have to include
[07:24] Zetten, which boosts it 100 times more.
[07:27] To put this further into perspective,
[07:29] we've seen Asta outperform everyone with
[07:32] his ancient demon attack in the Clover
[07:34] Kingdom. Sisgoleon's brand new Hellfire
[07:37] spell was introduced, which increases
[07:39] her power with each passing second.
[07:42] Knowing that Asta's Devil Union has a
[07:44] 30-minute cool down, we can assume she
[07:47] had been fighting for that long. Asta
[07:49] speed blitzed the demon in a single
[07:52] clean slice, no problemo. Whilst the
[07:54] others needed 30 minutes to fight the
[07:57] same demon, Asta only needed 30 seconds
[08:00] if we're low balling, which means
[08:02] Sisgoleon took 60 times longer to beat
[08:05] the same opponent. However, Asta's gap
[08:08] becomes even bigger as all the captains
[08:11] combined can't even cast spells, let
[08:14] alone react to Lucifero's speed when he
[08:16] is introduced. Lucifero is hundreds of
[08:19] times stronger than any other supreme
[08:22] devil. And during their first encounter
[08:24] in chapter 317, Asta without his union
[08:28] couldn't react before he teleported to
[08:30] him. But in contrast, when Master Devil
[08:33] Union was achieved, Asta had increased
[08:36] his speed to the point where a
[08:38] distraction or helping hand wasn't even
[08:40] needed from the others unlike before. So
[08:43] by logic, Asta must be going thousands
[08:46] of times faster than light for the story
[08:48] to make sense. Asta is scaling so high
[08:51] that he makes the Paladins and angels
[08:54] look like a joke in comparison.
[08:56] Therefore, with Zetten, Asta has made
[08:59] the gap between them even smaller as
[09:02] Zetten has increased his speed 100 times
[09:05] than what it was before. This allows him
[09:07] to kill Paladins with ease unlike other
[09:10] captains. For example, in chapter 360,
[09:14] Lucius states Sisgoleon should have died
[09:17] instantly to Morris and they are
[09:19] completely struggling in the current
[09:21] timeline as without multiple sacrifices,
[09:24] they still wouldn't live. And Morris,
[09:26] frankly, isn't stronger than Sister
[09:28] Lily's Paladin form. Why, you may ask?
[09:31] Well, she received Beelzebub, one of the
[09:34] three kings of hell's full magic power.
[09:37] Yet, her spells of spatial magic and
[09:40] more cannot keep up with Asta's speed.
[09:43] Bear in mind, Zenon said he is the best
[09:46] and fastest spatial magic user in his
[09:48] fight against Yuno when Finral and
[09:50] Langris were helping out. This is
[09:52] important as in Asta's initial fight
[09:55] with Lucius, he tries to predict his
[09:57] movements if you forgot. But, he isn't
[10:00] fast enough and has a lapse of judgment
[10:02] like Ryu mentioned earlier. However, now
[10:05] with Zetten against Ichika, who scales
[10:08] at the level of Paladins and mind you
[10:10] also has a magic ability called Black
[10:13] Star, where we are told it creates
[10:16] vulnerabilities in any opponent. Asta
[10:19] was able to predict what was required of
[10:22] him to match her. This means his Zetten
[10:25] against Lucius will penetrate his
[10:27] defense and make up for his weaknesses,
[10:30] especially since we see in chapter 360
[10:33] Yuno is able to damage Lucius's Paladin
[10:37] form and kill him. He's getting faster,
[10:39] too. He becomes so fast that Lucius
[10:42] thinks he must not be reading the future
[10:44] quick enough. But, in reality, it's all
[10:47] because of Asta's existence changing the
[10:49] entire timeline. So, that means Asta's
[10:52] speed with Zetten, of course, has to
[10:54] match Yuno or be even faster to stand a
[10:58] chance. Therefore, proving again Asta is
[11:01] moving thousands of times faster than
[11:03] light. As Yuno is instantly teleporting
[11:06] with his star magic and using his wind
[11:09] magic to pump his numbers up. However,
[11:11] let's move on to Asta's strength with
[11:14] Zetten. Firstly, keep in mind Asta
[11:16] already scales at multi-continental
[11:19] level. Lucifero was so powerful that it
[11:22] was stated many times that his mere
[11:25] existence would be the end of the entire
[11:27] world. This scaling existed way before
[11:31] his manifestation. As Licht's demon, was
[11:34] stated to have enough power to wipe out
[11:36] humanity, stated in chapter one. And
[11:39] later on, against Lumiere, the first
[11:41] Wizard King, with just a single spell,
[11:44] Licht would obliterate the entire Clover
[11:47] Kingdom if it was activated, in which
[11:49] Zagred confirmed this that there would
[11:51] be nothing left. Now, if you're
[11:53] wondering, "Well, Asta knows other
[11:55] demons, so that doesn't count." Well, if
[11:57] we go even further back, such as Fana's
[12:00] fire spirit, volume 16.5's data book
[12:04] states that one swing from his talon has
[12:07] enough heat to dry up an entire ocean.
[12:10] This is enough power to destroy
[12:12] countries, as even the Atlantic Ocean in
[12:15] real life would require 239 petatons of
[12:19] TNT to completely evaporate it. However,
[12:23] funnily enough, Asta scales higher than
[12:26] Salamander with only his black Asta
[12:28] form, as he defeated Ladros, who
[12:31] absorbed all of its power, having enough
[12:34] attack potency to break through his
[12:36] magic ability. I mean, he practically
[12:39] made Ladros cry. So, as Black Clover's
[12:41] story continues, Asta's power level has
[12:44] to keep increasing to go way beyond
[12:47] these characters, as he can defeat all
[12:49] of them with ease, which makes sense of
[12:52] Ryu stating that Lucius would not only
[12:55] take over all the kingdoms, but even the
[12:57] Hino Country. His level of power can
[13:00] take over the entire planet with ease,
[13:02] which only naturally means Asta's attack
[13:05] potency has to increase once again to
[13:08] stand a chance. This is why it makes
[13:10] sense that Zetten was introduced to
[13:13] increase Asta's power 100 times. From
[13:16] Jack's ultimate attack in chapter 357,
[13:19] we can see that he split the entire
[13:22] kingdom in half, which destroyed an
[13:24] angel. But since we have established
[13:27] that Asta already scales thousands of
[13:29] times higher than other characters, it
[13:32] only goes to show why he is relied upon
[13:35] instead of him. For example, we were
[13:37] told Asta was the only one capable of
[13:40] destroying Lucifer's full manifestation.
[13:43] And even against the five-headed dragon,
[13:45] he was needed. Ryu hedged all of his
[13:48] bets on Asta being the only one capable
[13:51] of destroying all five heads at once.
[13:54] The only person that could possibly
[13:56] match Asta's Zetten would be Yosuga, but
[13:59] even then his Zetten doesn't cut through
[14:02] magic itself, right? Which makes his
[14:04] abilities far weaker than Asta's
[14:06] anti-magic when paired up against the
[14:09] Paladins. This means Asta's Zetten
[14:12] technically scales higher than the rest
[14:14] of the Ryuzen 7, making him the
[14:16] strongest Zetten user in the world. Even
[14:19] more evidence that Asta before even
[14:22] unlocking Zetten was pretty much capable
[14:25] of destroying entire countries. Just
[14:27] take a look at Dorothy's Glamour World,
[14:30] which allows her to create her very own
[14:32] dimension kitted out with stars and a
[14:35] [ __ ] solar system. In fact, whilst
[14:37] Magna claims that Luck's statement of it
[14:40] being endless is impossible, Elf Dorothy
[14:42] does back him up stating that in the
[14:45] Glamour World even the impossible is
[14:47] possible. Later on in chapter 184, it is
[14:51] confirmed that everything that is
[14:52] manifested in the world is structured
[14:55] physically and chemically the same way
[14:57] they are in the outside world. Yami,
[15:00] however, with his dimension slash
[15:02] managed to destroy the world in just a
[15:04] single slice. This feat is not exclusive
[15:08] to just him, either. As we know, Asta
[15:10] has based much of his fighting style off
[15:13] his sensei to the point where he even
[15:15] replicated his Equinox spell that
[15:18] achieved this feat. Therefore, with his
[15:20] anti-magic and most definitely with his
[15:23] Zetten boost, Asta would annihilate
[15:26] Dorothy's entire Glamour World, which is
[15:28] endless like it's freaking child's play.
[15:31] However, this helps explain how Asta
[15:34] found it so easy to kill the five-headed
[15:36] dragon with one swing, casually
[15:38] splitting the sky across the entire Kino
[15:41] Country in the process of using a Zetten
[15:44] boosted attack. As a result, he became a
[15:47] living legend as he matched the feat of
[15:50] the person that created this ability in
[15:52] the first place, and everyone in the
[15:54] country witnessed him doing it as it
[15:57] went across the entire landmass. So,
[15:59] putting things into perspective, you can
[16:02] clearly understand by now that Asta with
[16:04] his Zetten is more than capable of
[16:07] wiping the floor of every single magic
[16:09] knight and captain on his own as they
[16:12] scale thousands of times lower than him.
[16:14] This is why Lucius confirms that in
[16:17] every single timeline, only Asta and
[16:20] Yuno stand a chance against him.
[16:22] Everyone else would die. By now, Asta
[16:25] has enough attack potency in his soul
[16:27] that can technically destroy countries
[16:30] and moon-sized planets in half. This
[16:33] swiftly brings us to his defense. Asta's
[16:36] Zetten has increased it even further,
[16:38] but let's take a look at where it was
[16:41] before he made it stronger. Against
[16:43] Lucifero, it was stated that a single
[16:45] attack from him would kill you according
[16:48] to Yuno in chapter 322. Therefore,
[16:51] through deduction, Asta already gained
[16:53] the best speed in terms of durability
[16:56] against Lucifero in comparison to any
[16:58] other character. This is before Master
[17:01] Devil Union. Now, instead of one punch
[17:04] having the force to kill somebody, Asta
[17:06] tanks four heavy attacks before he was
[17:08] at death's door in comparison. Asta said
[17:11] that one punch did so much damage that
[17:14] it feels like he cannot move anymore,
[17:16] and his eyes won't focus. This is
[17:19] similar to what Ichika achieved, a
[17:21] member of the Ryuzen Seven, when she
[17:23] utilized her full blast Zetten and Asta
[17:27] in chapter 340, where he almost blacked
[17:30] out instantly and lost. This tells us
[17:33] how powerful Zetten is, that it's making
[17:36] a Ryuzen do a similar feat to Lucifero,
[17:39] the King of Hell, as the power scaling
[17:42] keeps increasing. In fact, Ichika's feat
[17:45] is even greater because Asta had
[17:47] mastered Devil Union at this point and
[17:49] against Lucifero, he didn't. And must I
[17:52] remind you that trash Pharaoh, when he
[17:54] faced Master Devil Union, Asta was
[17:57] taking punch after punch without even
[17:59] having to flinch. He was pathetic. So,
[18:01] thanks to perfect Devil Union, Asta can
[18:04] now manifest anti-magic anywhere in his
[18:06] body, meaning that he himself is now the
[18:09] weapon. This basically makes him
[18:11] indestructible as magic is now pointless
[18:14] before him in this form. No matter how
[18:16] many punches Lucifer tries to land,
[18:18] thanks to Asta's buff body, he can take
[18:21] it all as the magic dissipates upon
[18:23] contact with him. However, since Zetten
[18:26] is a new power concept, when Ichika
[18:28] initially tests Asta, he states that his
[18:32] anti-magic is taking the edge of the
[18:35] attacks and blocks simple Yojutsu. So,
[18:38] if it wasn't for this property of
[18:40] anti-magic, chapter 340 insinuates he
[18:43] would have been destroyed even sooner.
[18:46] On the other hand, after mastering
[18:48] Zetten, this is where the weakness in
[18:50] his armor disappears. Chapter 348, he
[18:54] destroys his weaknesses literally, not
[18:57] having to be afraid of anyone, including
[19:00] Lucius. Asta's weakness of physical
[19:03] attacks has subsided and we know this
[19:06] because the Paladin that faced him,
[19:08] Yuno, had enough power to claim that he
[19:11] would instantly die if Asta was touched.
[19:14] However, since he has increased every
[19:16] stat so high, he instantly reacts to him
[19:20] and counters, destroying him in one
[19:22] attack. In volume 23.5,
[19:25] it showcases the events of the Conrad in
[19:28] which Asta faces off against all of the
[19:31] Black Bulls on his own at the same time.
[19:33] This is before he had achieved the
[19:35] imperfect Devil Union by a training with
[19:38] Noa. Now, as you'd expect, Magnus flames
[19:41] are fodder for Asta as he easily
[19:44] deflects with his Black Divider. Luck,
[19:46] Gauche, and Zora try to attack, but
[19:48] again, Asta easily defends with his
[19:51] Black Hurricane. Noelle tries to then
[19:53] put her husband in place by unleashing
[19:55] Sea Dragon's Roar, which amounts to
[19:58] nothing as he smirks. Even when they
[20:00] sync together and attack all at once,
[20:03] Asta manages to parry them all away,
[20:06] which is when Julius decided to
[20:08] contribute by secretly coordinating the
[20:10] attack of the Bulls through Finral's
[20:12] magic. They all combined and Grey
[20:15] converted Noelle's water to oil, which
[20:18] Luck then set on fire with his magic,
[20:20] forcing Asta into the air where Charmy
[20:23] hit him with a surprise hit. This
[20:25] strategy got them the win against Asta,
[20:28] but as they revealed, it was actually
[20:31] all thanks to the brilliant thinking of
[20:33] Julius. However, Julius knows better
[20:36] than anyone that an attack of this level
[20:38] was the only chance they had against
[20:41] this god. At this moment, Asta glazes
[20:44] the Black Bulls in their skill, and
[20:46] after using the Imperial Sword in the
[20:48] movie, it gave him insight into the past
[20:51] Wizard Kings. He found out that the
[20:53] Black Bulls' teamwork to be reminiscent
[20:56] of strategies used by them in battles,
[20:59] declaring once again that these dudes
[21:02] are actually the strongest squad in the
[21:04] series, even all the way back then
[21:06] before the time skip training even
[21:08] occurred. Now, at that moment of time, a
[21:11] sense of dread overcame Asta as a
[21:14] massive black slash cut through the sky,
[21:16] forcing Asta to gather all his remaining
[21:19] strength to defend himself against Yami.
[21:22] The captain of the Black Bulls proceeded
[21:24] to explain that Asta's control over
[21:27] anti-magic is too weak, leaving him wide
[21:30] open, making his defense inconsistent.
[21:32] Now, in the Hino Country, Ryu came to
[21:35] the same conclusion. But after Asta's
[21:38] mastery over Zetten, he claims in
[21:40] chapter 366 he will no longer lose any
[21:44] more fights. As he destroyed all his
[21:46] weaknesses and fears whilst training, we
[21:49] find out Asta's goal and what type of
[21:51] Wizard King he wants to be in this
[21:53] volume. He vows to battle the Black
[21:55] Bulls again when he knows he can beat
[21:58] them all at once at the same time. Now,
[22:01] eventually, with more training after
[22:03] defeating Lucifero, Asta mastered Devil
[22:06] Union to an even more powerful level. He
[22:09] is able to use it for an extended
[22:11] duration of time. But
[22:14] we all know what happens next. After
[22:16] Lucius stole his childhood buddy and
[22:19] booted his ass to the Hino Country, he
[22:22] wanted more than anything else to get
[22:24] stronger and beat Lucius. Luckily for
[22:26] him, the Ryuzen Seven are here to help.
[22:29] It's at this point in the story where
[22:31] Asta is introduced to the Zetten
[22:33] concept. Ryu explains that in the Hino
[22:36] Country, a person's key is unconsciously
[22:39] turned into magic. However, when someone
[22:42] does this consciously, they can take
[22:44] that energy and make it erupt in a
[22:46] single part of their body, producing the
[22:49] Zetten attack. Asta compares the process
[22:51] to mana zones from Kingdoms, just in
[22:54] this case using key as its basis and
[22:57] then radiating it. He doesn't have any
[22:59] magic, so he has to substitute it for
[23:02] anti-magic. And in chapter 341, Asta
[23:05] learns that this new technique can be
[23:07] used in multiple different forms, such
[23:10] as someone using 50% of their power in
[23:12] two strikes, or evening it out to 20%
[23:16] across five. Remember, Zetten is an
[23:18] ability that the best of the best Yūtsu
[23:21] users can spend years trying to master,
[23:25] and they never do. Yet, only took Asta,
[23:28] my goat, a few days just to do so,
[23:31] proving that this dude and his hard work
[23:35] is making him go to genius levels. Get
[23:37] this, Yūsuke described Asta's Zetten as
[23:41] the perfect counter to magic, so much so
[23:44] it was able to return Paladins like
[23:47] Yūral and Sister Lily to normal after
[23:50] concentrating their ability into his
[23:52] sword and striking them. So, Zetten not
[23:55] only increases Asta's power 100 times,
[23:59] but also allows him to further master
[24:01] his anti-magic, granting him arguably
[24:04] the most vital ability in the whole war.
[24:06] This is the power to bestow anti-magic
[24:09] onto other people. Everyone was so weak,
[24:12] so bro, Asta had to make them like him.
[24:15] Rill explains this concept to Asta in
[24:17] chapter 367, that Zetten has allowed
[24:21] Asta to make his anti-magic to a new
[24:23] level. And therefore, he should be able
[24:26] to use the Demon Dweller's properties on
[24:28] people as a result. So, Asta creates the
[24:31] ultimate Black Bulls team, making these
[24:34] guys even stronger than before, despite
[24:36] initially being on the brink of death.
[24:39] Another moment that proved Asta is just
[24:42] on a whole other level is when he makes
[24:44] his grand entrance, forming all the aura
[24:47] in the world against Damnatio, where he
[24:49] uses Demon Destroyer to dispel Baal's
[24:52] magic by creating his own mini
[24:55] anti-magic zone. And then, get this, he
[24:58] beats him in his base form without help.
[25:01] That's why he's the goat. Zetten is the
[25:03] thing which gives Asta the edge in
[25:06] physical combat that Lucius pointed out
[25:08] was his weakness. And in chapter 378, we
[25:12] finally see Asta prove Lucius wrong. He
[25:16] was able to cut through an entourage of
[25:18] Lucius' clones and work hand-in-hand
[25:21] with Yuno. Lucius even says that
[25:23] together they are inherently surpassing
[25:25] his prophecy of total victory. So, Asta
[25:28] is so goated he nullifies fate itself.
[25:32] At this point, he is easily the
[25:34] strongest character in the series.
[25:36] Lucifero, Lucius, any supreme devil
[25:39] combined, or even the captains, they
[25:41] would die in one attack against him.
[25:44] Lucius had to steal all the magic in the
[25:46] world just to stand a chance. Yes!
[25:50] Yes!
[25:51] Yes! Asta becoming the greatest wizard
[25:54] king of all time is happening more than
[25:57] ever. He's achieving a feat the other 32
[26:00] never could. Mimosa states, "Asta, you
[26:03] even turn former enemies into allies."
[26:06] So,
[26:08] why would anyone want Yuno to become a
[26:10] wizard king instead again? Please remind
[26:13] me in the comments cuz I don't know. Is
[26:15] it even a race at this point for the
[26:17] title? Because in my book, Asta has
[26:21] out-lapped Yuno 10 times over. I mean,
[26:23] Tabata even drew this artwork of Asta's
[26:27] wizard king outfit and he's dripped the
[26:29] [ __ ] out looking bossy. So, because of
[26:33] all the people Asta united, Mimosa
[26:36] finally reaches our MC to heal him
[26:38] completely. But obviously, this takes
[26:40] time and Yuno must buy more of it. Then,
[26:44] we see Asta face planted on the floor.
[26:47] Bro is cooked. Oh, no.
[26:50] >> Mimosa states to fully heal Asta's
[26:53] wounds, she needs to use ultimate magic.
[26:55] But if she does that, the other injured
[26:57] people would die. Asta definitely
[26:59] wouldn't want to be the only person
[27:01] saved, so it's a train tracks situation
[27:04] in real time. However, due to Asta
[27:07] changing the entire world by being the
[27:09] patriarch of good and uniting the people
[27:11] to respect commoners, they all realize
[27:14] we are second. We are all NPCs and
[27:17] trash. We're the [ __ ] people. No. Asta,
[27:20] there's no way we can be more useful
[27:22] than the future Wizard King. So they
[27:25] tell Mimosa to heal Asta anyways as they
[27:28] would gladly sacrifice themselves. Like
[27:31] Damn. Look how far Asta has come. Bro
[27:34] was a laughing stock at the Grim War
[27:36] ceremony. He got treated like [ __ ] by
[27:39] every other royal noble for being
[27:41] magicless, and he even got framed for
[27:43] murder. There is countless prejudice
[27:46] against the dude throughout his journey,
[27:48] but because he's so hard working and
[27:51] selfless, making the world realize their
[27:53] wrongs, now even the most elite squads
[27:56] are stating that he's the most valuable
[27:59] person on this side. Like, bro. It
[28:01] brings a tear to my eye. That's why he's
[28:03] the goat. The goat. Now, whilst this is
[28:07] going down, this epic square-off occurs
[28:10] between Yuno and Lucius on different
[28:12] platforms. Yuno realizes that he is
[28:15] terrified of Asta because he could not
[28:18] predict any of his old enemies coming to
[28:21] the war to take his side. But Lucius is
[28:23] still confident he will win. He
[28:25] showcases how the entire kingdom is
[28:28] turned into rubble, and it will soon be
[28:30] checkmate for Yuno when his anti-magic
[28:33] will run out. We even see a collage of
[28:35] every other character destroying the
[28:37] angels. Keep in mind, these are buffed
[28:40] ones ever since Lucius entity's final
[28:42] form three chapters ago. That's why they
[28:45] look more evil now. Langris using his
[28:48] spatial nukes that delete space. Leon is
[28:51] using the magic he trained in the heart
[28:52] kingdom and more. And Mimosa's brother
[28:55] are doing their thing. They remember the
[28:57] past and all the words Asta said to them
[29:00] about being better people. And as a
[29:02] result, they resolved to keep destroying
[29:04] the enemy over and over get stronger as
[29:07] they even acknowledge Asta saying,
[29:10] "You're him. You're the MC. You're the
[29:12] one that has to kill Lucius and save us
[29:15] all and become the Wizard King." Mimosa
[29:17] then starts crying that she will fail
[29:20] her future husband just like in the
[29:22] Lucifer fight when Asta went to fight
[29:24] even though he was half dead. She wasn't
[29:26] able to heal him back then and that made
[29:29] her feel worse than ever. However, guess
[29:32] what? Uber Eats arrives with Charmy to
[29:35] restore her mana with food. And with
[29:37] this power up, Mimosa becomes a more
[29:39] beautiful than ever revealing her
[29:42] Princess Utopia spell. She heals Asta
[29:45] completely to full health and just when
[29:48] she's about to die, Asta gets up and
[29:51] kills the bad guy so fast in the blink
[29:53] of an eye that no one saw it coming.
[29:55] Asta then forms all the aura in the
[29:58] world with full rage that he's coming
[30:00] for Lucius and will promise to kill it.
[30:03] Asta regrouping with everyone after
[30:05] being revived by Mimosa. They all become
[30:08] top tier glazers. They're glad that
[30:11] their future Wizard King pulled through.
[30:12] Liebe apologizes that their devil union
[30:15] became undone. His concentration and
[30:18] willpower depleted when Lucius used
[30:21] their mother Licita as a human shield
[30:23] against them. This is what almost caused
[30:26] their death, but Asta tells his brother
[30:28] to shake it off and they've got this in
[30:30] the bag. Lucius has taken over Heath's
[30:32] Paladin and has Ryu the Shogun in his
[30:35] clutches. Lucius admits that just like
[30:38] Asta, Ryu was also a man he couldn't see
[30:41] the future of since he is mana-less.
[30:43] This caused him problems, but then he
[30:45] asks why the interest in Asta. Now, in
[30:49] typical villain fashion, instead of
[30:51] finishing Ryu off and breaking his neck
[30:54] in, I don't know, T-minus 0.1 seconds,
[30:57] he doesn't go on a yap session. And
[30:59] guess what he yaps about? It's pure Asta
[31:03] glaze, giving us yet another moment
[31:06] proving why people believe he has the
[31:08] merit to become Wizard King. Ryu claims
[31:11] that when he got his Tengetsu eye, he
[31:14] had to give up all his magic. And in the
[31:15] process, it was difficult to accept, and
[31:18] it felt like he was giving up on the
[31:20] dream he promised with his friends
[31:22] Yosuga and Yami Sukehiro. Although, he
[31:24] doesn't regret his decision at all. Now,
[31:27] remember, in chapter 351, we learned why
[31:30] the Shogun has no magic. As 17, Ryu
[31:33] watched his homeland get torn apart by a
[31:36] plague that preyed on the weak power.
[31:38] His rival and friend Yosuga stood beside
[31:41] him. And together, they swore a dream,
[31:44] making a world where magic and rank
[31:47] doesn't decide your worth, which is just
[31:49] like Asta. So, knowing that this goal is
[31:52] ever so difficult, Ryu needed a vice to
[31:55] escape his cruel reality. And when he
[31:58] was looking for Yami Sukehiro with his
[32:00] eye, he came across Asta from Hage
[32:03] Village. He was a boy with no magic that
[32:05] he could relate to, which resulted in
[32:07] Ryu deciding to keep an eye on him to
[32:10] see where his story led. Eventually, he
[32:12] realized Asta was the goat, as he was
[32:15] someone that never gave up. He kept
[32:17] getting stronger to protect people and
[32:20] wasn't afraid to charge head first. He
[32:22] saw Asta accomplish the impossible,
[32:25] basically confirming that Ryu, he binge
[32:28] read the entirety of the Black Clover
[32:30] manga, just like us, and he became a
[32:32] fan. And that gave Ryu strength and
[32:35] courage to keep going. As a result, he
[32:37] will not back up Lucius and his false
[32:40] ideals of playing the Antichrist God. He
[32:43] will follow Asta to the death. So,
[32:45] hearing all of this, Lucius says, "I bet
[32:49] I guess it's about time I break this
[32:51] dude's neck." But, it's too late.
[32:53] Yosuga, the most powerful of the Reuzan
[32:56] Seven, saves the day. And he does a
[32:58] Zetten attack, cleanly cutting Lucius's
[33:01] head off. And things only go from bad to
[33:04] worse for Lucius. Those tens of
[33:07] thousands of timelines where he wins,
[33:09] they're becoming meaningless. The one
[33:11] singularity timeline where Asta wins is
[33:14] coming true. Because whilst fighting
[33:16] Yuno with anti-magic, my guy thinks he's
[33:19] about to get the job done of killing
[33:20] him. But, no. He gets blitzed. Yuno uses
[33:24] Asta's black meteorite in combination
[33:27] with his star conjunction magic, which
[33:29] makes him even faster than before. This
[33:32] lands a clean hit on Lucius, and he then
[33:35] drops the sword back to his brother. The
[33:37] goat returns at full power. And Lucius
[33:41] once again resorts to cheap tactics. He
[33:44] resurrects Asta's mother as a paladin.
[33:47] But, this time the brothers of
[33:48] destruction have strengthened their
[33:50] resolve. They instantly killed their
[33:53] fake mother in one shot. As Asta
[33:55] declares that this fight is the final
[33:58] battle. The chaos causes widespread
[34:01] destruction throughout the Clover
[34:02] Castle. And this is symbolic in many
[34:05] ways. We see these guys do beautiful
[34:08] choreography destroying the entire
[34:10] palace, right? Oh oh, just look at him.
[34:13] The water's at its peak. Now, what does
[34:15] this all mean? Firstly, Lucius
[34:18] proclaimed himself as the ultimate
[34:20] wizard king. And the Clover Castle is
[34:23] everything that title stands for. It's
[34:25] the center of power in the kingdom, the
[34:27] throne of hierarchy and authority, and
[34:30] the very heart of his perfect world, is
[34:32] where kings, nobles, and the so-called
[34:35] chosen ones sit above everyone else,
[34:37] looking down on others. Others like Asta
[34:40] and Yuno. They're both the complete
[34:42] opposites of everything Lucius stands
[34:45] for. He wants a world where everyone is
[34:47] the same, where no one has flaws or free
[34:50] will. But Asta proves that those
[34:52] imperfections are a strength. And Yuno
[34:55] proves that equality that comes with a
[34:57] noble like him working with a nobody
[34:59] like Asta, it's actually the key to a
[35:02] better world. And so, every strike of
[35:04] Lucius that lands and destroys a pillar
[35:07] of this palace, is just symbolic in a
[35:09] sense that in front of Asta and Yuno,
[35:12] the world that the royals had built, and
[35:14] what Lucius strives for, it's basically
[35:17] collapsing. The old world must crumble
[35:19] to bring about a much-needed change. But
[35:22] it will be Asta as the 29th Wizard King
[35:25] that spearheads the next era of total
[35:28] and true equality. And Loki, Lucius is
[35:31] beginning to see that his vision could
[35:33] be cooked. Because seeing Asta and Yuno
[35:36] together, he realizes that they're
[35:39] making each other both level up at a
[35:42] rate that he can't keep up with. They're
[35:44] becoming far stronger and faster than he
[35:47] can manage. Which of course, all links
[35:50] back to the Asta effect. But for now,
[35:52] things go full insanity. Because Asta
[35:56] and Yuno are moving so fast, they
[35:58] literally vanish off the page. This is
[36:01] some platinum sperm versus Garou-level
[36:03] choreography. A constellation of
[36:06] afterimages that no one can follow
[36:08] proceeds. Lucius then starts shaking,
[36:11] calling it a pain, because he can't keep
[36:13] up. So, he plays dirty. He targets
[36:16] innocent lives. After all, he doesn't
[36:18] care. He can just resurrect everyone as
[36:20] perfect clones anyway. He casts his
[36:22] strongest spell. Hundreds of magic types
[36:25] merging into one countrywide spirit
[36:28] bomb, the Ganjuan ultimate magic united
[36:31] forces. Everyone stares into the sky
[36:34] realizing, "Oh my god, we're cooked.
[36:36] We're about to die, bro." But guess who
[36:38] finally steps up? Lefron
[36:40] Vermillion. This man has done nothing
[36:44] for 150 chapters. He got the fire spirit
[36:47] salamander back in 2020, and he never
[36:49] did a thing with it until now. He tells
[36:52] Asta and Yuno, "Keep your eyes on
[36:55] Lucius. Leave this to us." Then finally,
[36:57] he activates spirit dive. Now, okay,
[37:00] let's hold up. Why didn't he use this
[37:02] earlier against Morris, the Paladins,
[37:05] the angels, whilst people were dying and
[37:07] begging for help? Well,
[37:09] forget good writing. This is all right
[37:11] and hype moments. Let him cook.
[37:16] The fraud label is no longer there, and
[37:18] he joins his sister Sisgoleon, who's
[37:21] been fighting with hellfire incarnate
[37:24] for what feels like 40 chapters
[37:26] straight. And together, they try to stop
[37:28] Lucius's spell, but they're not alone.
[37:31] They call Leo. He remembers every moment
[37:34] he was left behind, and now he finally
[37:37] catches up. Paying homage to Goku,
[37:40] Gohan, and Goten's Kamehameha, they
[37:43] release a triple vermillion inferno, a
[37:46] vortex of flames so massive, it
[37:48] incinerates Lucius's world-ending magic.
[37:51] And whilst that happens, Asta and Yuno
[37:54] break reality together. Their fight
[37:57] moves so fast that Lucius can't
[37:59] regenerate anymore. He's still bleeding.
[38:01] He doesn't even have the time to use
[38:03] magic to heal himself. So then, our duo
[38:07] enter flow state. One mind, one timing,
[38:10] one purpose. Asta and Liebe become one,
[38:14] whilst Yuno and Bell do too. So with
[38:16] this new power up, they blast Lucius
[38:19] straight through his own magic. And now,
[38:22] Lucius shows something we've never seen
[38:24] before. He's actually a freak. He knows
[38:27] it, we know it. We're in the end game,
[38:29] [ __ ] You witness Asta and Yuno break
[38:32] reality together. Their fight moves so
[38:35] fast, Lucius can't regenerate anymore,
[38:37] and he's still bleeding. Asta and Liebe
[38:40] become one, whilst Yuno and Bell do a
[38:43] fusion as well, where their mind and
[38:45] purpose become one. Their rivalry and
[38:48] understanding of one another make each
[38:50] other get stronger than ever before. And
[38:52] they blast Lucius straight through his
[38:55] own magic. We see Lucius afraid for the
[38:58] first time, where his arms have ripped
[39:00] apart. He acknowledges their true fusion
[39:03] is working against him. The power scale
[39:06] has gone way beyond anything Lucius ever
[39:09] accounted for. By his own admission,
[39:12] across tens of thousands of futures he
[39:14] saw, a one verse one against them should
[39:17] have been effortless. And yet, Lucius
[39:20] keeps making the same mistake. He
[39:22] doubles down on the idea that Yuno is
[39:25] his true rival, claiming that Yuno never
[39:28] would have reached this level without
[39:30] Asta. And for the millionth time, he
[39:33] repeats that no matter how strong they
[39:36] become, you cannot win.
[39:40] Are you serious right now, bro? Now, to
[39:42] prove it, Lucius floods the battlefield
[39:45] with an absurd number of beasts made
[39:47] from every magic attribute imaginable.
[39:50] Remember, Lucius absorbed every grimoire
[39:53] from the tower, meaning his magic supply
[39:56] is effectively limitless. But this is
[39:59] where everything falls apart for him,
[40:02] because Asta and Yuno clap back with
[40:04] something he never understood. Power
[40:06] alone has never defined the Wizard King.
[40:09] They erase everything in their path
[40:11] instantly. And then, the real
[40:14] ideological kill shot lands right in his
[40:16] face. Lucius declares himself humanity's
[40:19] savior, yet not a single person
[40:22] acknowledges him as their true leader.
[40:24] Instead, Asta and Yuno state something
[40:27] that has been true since the very
[40:29] beginning of Black Clover. The Wizard
[40:32] King is chosen by the people. The entire
[40:35] world is watching this moment unfold
[40:37] because Lucius, being the genius
[40:40] himself, he's broadcasting it using
[40:43] Marx's magic. Kings, civilians, magic
[40:46] knights, and everyone witness who truly
[40:49] stands for humanity. This has always
[40:51] been the core of the story. Julius
[40:54] wasn't respected because he was the
[40:56] strongest. He was respected because
[40:59] everyone believed in him. One of the
[41:01] first things Asta asks Julius when they
[41:04] first met was how to become Wizard King,
[41:06] and he said it was to earn merit. And
[41:09] Asta's entire journey from a magicless
[41:11] peasant to the world's hope has been
[41:14] about earning acknowledgement and not
[41:16] demanding authority through power. This
[41:18] mirrors the same principle Itachi Uchiha
[41:21] explained to Naruto. It's never been the
[41:23] one who becomes Hokage that will be
[41:25] acknowledged by everyone. It's the one
[41:27] who is acknowledged by everyone becoming
[41:29] the Hokage. Because, of course, we live
[41:31] in a democracy in this [ __ ] right? So,
[41:33] Lucius, he basically wanted to rule
[41:35] humanity from above as a dictator, not
[41:38] giving any real freedom as this
[41:40] Antichrist type figure. Whilst Asta and
[41:43] Yuno stand among the people, changing
[41:46] the world for better organically. We
[41:48] then see the destruction of the country.
[41:51] Their fight has them blitzing around
[41:53] creating speed constellations in the sky
[41:55] nonstop. Eventually, their teamwork
[41:58] pulls through. Asta tanks a building,
[42:01] and Yuno breaks through it to land an
[42:03] attack. He then tells Lucius, "Bitch,
[42:05] listen. You keep saying I'm your rival,
[42:08] but you're not. Asta is, and he's the
[42:10] one I want to surpass." Let's look back
[42:13] from the very beginning in chapter 1.
[42:15] Their rivalry was never built on hatred.
[42:18] It was built on a promise. Two orphans
[42:21] standing in a broken church swearing
[42:24] that one of them would become the Wizard
[42:25] King and that they'd force the other to
[42:28] rise with them. Every step Yuno and Asta
[42:31] took was about keeping up with the one
[42:33] person who refused to leave them behind.
[42:36] And this is where a bombshell is
[42:38] dropped. Tabata truly glazed Yuno to a
[42:42] next level in this final fight. Lucius
[42:44] claimed that his magical power has
[42:47] reached above ultimate. He has entered
[42:49] the supreme realm, receiving his
[42:52] acknowledgement. And we need to pause
[42:54] there because that's just insane to
[42:57] hear. This is the same Lucius who
[42:59] absorbed Asta of 100% Lucifer, the power
[43:03] of every other devil in hell, every
[43:05] grimoire in the tower, and unified the
[43:08] strength of the Dark Triad into himself.
[43:11] Yet now you're telling me Asta and Yuno
[43:14] have reached this level of power? That
[43:16] means every other enemy is now
[43:18] pre-mortal. They can annihilate all the
[43:21] captains and magic knights combined with
[43:23] zero effort because no way anyone is
[43:25] beating Lucius besides these two. No one
[43:27] can compete with them anymore. And I
[43:30] think this ties into Asta's words. Asta
[43:33] once said he doesn't want to become
[43:35] Wizard King until he knows he can defeat
[43:38] all the Black Bulls at the same time on
[43:40] his own. Well, we can pretty much say
[43:43] that's a fact now. But Lucius's
[43:45] prejudice against our MC it doesn't stop
[43:48] there. When Yuno declares that magic
[43:50] power has nothing to do with why he
[43:52] stands beside Asta, Lucius crashes out.
[43:56] He completely snaps, going berserk,
[43:59] flooding the battlefield with
[44:00] overwhelming magic. Furious that Yuno
[44:03] would deny the very hierarchy Lucius
[44:06] worships. But guess what? Asta cuts
[44:09] through it all and erases them from
[44:11] existence, giving us a speech that
[44:14] inspires everyone in the world. Asta's
[44:17] answer to Lucius's
[44:19] speech against the floor is not only
[44:21] about himself, but for the people of all
[44:24] classes to realize their wrongs. Asta
[44:28] tells him that this is my life,
[44:30] acknowledging the frustration, despair,
[44:33] and suffering he endured because he had
[44:35] no magic at all. But, Asta never once
[44:39] asks for Lucius's salvation, and he sure
[44:42] as hell never asks for someone else to
[44:44] decide what his life was worth. Asta's
[44:47] speaking for peasants, magic knights,
[44:50] and everyone who's ever been crushed by
[44:52] a system that decided they were lesser.
[44:55] The entire world is watching as Asta
[44:58] declares that even if the world is
[45:00] imperfect, it still belongs to the
[45:02] people living in it. He's stating that
[45:05] imperfection isn't a flaw that needs
[45:07] erasing. It's what gives life meaning in
[45:10] the first place. That no single person
[45:12] has the right to own or dictate
[45:15] humanity's future just because they're
[45:17] powerful enough to see it. And that
[45:19] freedom, even when it leads to pain,
[45:21] failure, or chaos, it's more important
[45:24] than a safe world where every outcome is
[45:27] decided for you. Asta would rather live
[45:29] in a world that people can change and
[45:31] have free will rather than a perfect one
[45:34] that they're forced to obey. And after
[45:36] this epic ass speech, Lucius gets
[45:40] clapped by the duo for being a fraud, a
[45:43] trash villain, and a loser. However,
[45:46] he's not giving up yet. They start
[45:48] flying across the entire country with
[45:50] everyone recognizing Asta and Yuno. They
[45:53] push them forward to keep going and beg
[45:56] to save them. Yuno charges his arrow at
[45:59] full blast, and Asta created the biggest
[46:02] black sword we have ever seen. The demon
[46:05] dweller reaches the sky and cuts Lucius'
[46:08] beast in half like butter. Now, what
[46:11] Tabata did here, since he did not have
[46:13] enough pages to clearly finish his
[46:15] manga, he tried his best to convey a
[46:17] message. We see peasants, nobles,
[46:20] royals, and magic knights finally
[46:22] uniting in their glazing for Asta. They
[46:25] all state, "We are counting on you." and
[46:27] scream at the top of their lungs. Like,
[46:30] we already know what this will look like
[46:31] in the anime. It's going to be peak. The
[46:33] opening music will be playing at full
[46:35] blast, peak animation, and a payoff
[46:37] that's going to make us bust nuts. Now,
[46:40] with this encouragement, the duo keeps
[46:42] surpassing their limit, catching up to
[46:44] Lucius wherever he tries to escape. They
[46:47] need one more move to win the fight, an
[46:49] opening needs to be created. Because
[46:52] right now, Lucius is stalling for time.
[46:54] He knows their transformations have a
[46:57] limit, and once they're gone, his
[46:58] victory is secure. But Tabata, he said,
[47:01] "Nah, I'm about to cook peak with
[47:03] Noelle." I would say out of all the
[47:05] characters, Noelle, just like Nacht,
[47:08] actually got the best development. Every
[47:10] one of her story threads completed
[47:13] really well. She finally met her mother
[47:15] and resolved that tragedy. She got
[47:17] acknowledgement apologies and
[47:19] reconciled with her family. She's
[47:21] finally confident enough to confess love
[47:24] to Asta, and now she has complete
[47:27] control of her magic power. Because with
[47:30] the anti-magic abilities Asta bestowed
[47:32] her, she comes in clutch. We receive a
[47:35] montage of her journey. Every single
[47:38] moment which leveled up her control by
[47:40] surpassing the psychological limitation
[47:43] placed upon herself. She flies in,
[47:45] double cheeked up on a Thursday
[47:47] afternoon preparing an attack. This
[47:49] definitely seems inspired from Vegeta
[47:52] helping Gohan against Cell to create an
[47:54] opening. Similarly, Noelle states,
[47:56] "Since no one can keep up with them, she
[47:59] then controls a anti-magic bullet with
[48:02] such precision that like a homing
[48:04] missile instilled with anti-magic, it
[48:07] hits Lucius's core and cracks it giving
[48:10] the opening her future husband needs to
[48:13] win. As soon as the attack lands, Julius
[48:16] appears to help as well leaving his twin
[48:19] in place to be slammed at full power
[48:22] splitting him in half to die. Now to
[48:25] enjoy more peak fiction, watch this
