If “Demon Slayer” has Blood Demon Arts, “Black Clover” has Demon Swords. Asta, the main protagonist of this anime and manga, wields these swords. Here’s our insightful review of each of those swords.
What Are Demon Swords In ‘Black Clover’?
Magic cloaks the world of “Black Clover.” It comes from a life force known as Mana, which flows through every living thing. In this world, magic users or mages are highly respected, with some even holding the highest position of power, notably the Wizard King or Magic Emperor. But, to keep things balanced, the ability of anti-magic stands out.
Asta, a young orphan, is adept with anti-magic. It is because he isn’t endowed with any magic like others. But, he turns weakness into strength as he is determined to become the Wizard King or Magic Emperor despite lacking magical powers.
Asta has four Demon Swords to make this possible. Each is distinct and powerful, especially when combined with his physical strength and the devil’s power sealed in his grimoire, making Asta tough to beat. Here’s an explanation of those swords.
The Four Demon Swords
1. Demon Slayer Sword
This is Asta’s first Demon Sword. Yes, it sounds like the other anime to us. This sword was sealed in his four-leaf black clover grimoire. The anime’s hero initially wielded it during his battle versus a chain magic user named Revchi Salik, who attempted to steal the five-leaf grimoire of his best friend and biggest rival at the same time, Yuno Grinberryall.
This sword is huge, resembling the Dragon Slayer sword of Guts, the Black Swordsman. The Demon Sword can nullify any kind of magic, making it a formidable sword in our hero’s arsenal.
2. Demon-Dweller Sword
Next is the Demon-Dweller Sword. This sword, meanwhile, was bestowed upon Asta after finding it inside a dungeon while he and Grinberryall were battling against Mars, the previously evil Shining General of the Diamond Kingdom.
This sword can borrow all forms of magic from other magic users through absorbing them. Yikes. Thus, this sword is a great weapon to use versus enemies who use long-range fighting styles.
3. Demon Destroyer Sword
Third is the Demon Destroyer Sword. This sword originally belonged to the leader of the Elf Tribe, Licht. It features a unique shape summonable out of Asta’s black grimoire. Casuality Break is its unique ability, which lets it absorb and take away any magic spell, as well as its effects by severing the cause-and-effect relationship. Incredibly powerful, it can even negate the Reincarnation Magic. Asta used this sword in his most game-changing battles.
4. Demon Slasher Sword
Lastly, you’ve got the Demon Slasher Sword. It’s initially the katana of Yami Sukehiro that he threw toward Asta while they were battling Dante Zogratis, the leader of the Dark Triad. Our hero turned this weapon into an anti-magic sword after his devil arm grabbed its blade. He then placed it inside his grimoire and called in Demon Slasher in honor of Sukehiro.
Those are pretty much about the four Demon Swords of Asta. You’ll also find these details helpful should you wish to play the anime’s adaptation in gaming. Tune in to the brand-new season of “Black Clover” happening soon, probably within this year, according to rumors.
