'Black Clover' Episode 6 Spoilers: What Awaits Asta in His New Squad's Base?
Asta and Yuno's mutual goal of becoming the next Wizard King takes a crucial turn as each of them is finally assigned to his respective Magic Knight squad on the Japanese action-fantasy anime series, "Black Clover." What will their lives be like now that they have ended up in separate groups?
Asta may have already declared Yuno as his ultimate rival, but their rivalry has only just officially begun as they are each taken in by two different squads.
Yuno, whose reputation for having a four-leaf clover and eventual demonstration of his magical skill on the battlefield, was offered membership to all nine of the existing Magic Knight squad. But since he has always hoped to take the best path towards his ultimate goal, he chose to be part of the elite Golden Dawn squad. Its leader, William Vangeance, is believed to be the most likely candidate to become the next Wizard King.
On the other hand, Asta, who was at first not offered anything at all, managed to gain the infamous Yami Sukehiro's favor after he declared that no matter how many times he failed, he would just keep trying again and again. And despite not having any magical skills to back up his lofty ambition of becoming the Wizard King, Asta was eventually offered membership to the Black Bull squad, of which the notorious Yami is the leader.
However, the preview for the next episode aptly titled "The Black Bulls" seems to hint that Asta's trials have only just begun, and he may have yet to prove himself worthy to earn his place in the squad.
What challenges will Asta have to place as he part of his initiation into the most destructive Magic Knight squad? Could the explosion that met him upon arriving at the squad's base of operations be the kindest treat he would ever get from his new squat mates? More importantly, will his persistence be enough to help him pull through his upcoming trials and finally earn his official squad robe?
