Asta: The Anti-Magic User
Asta is the main protagonist of Yuuki Tabata’s Black Clover series. He is an orphan who was abandoned at a church. Later, the church of Hage raised Asta and his fellow orphan, Yuno.
In the world of Black Clover, mana is everything, and most people are born with the ability to use magic.
Interestingly, Asta is an exception as he was born without any magical powers.
Despite this, he possesses a Five-leaf Clover Grimoire. Moreover, a demon resides within him, which connects to Asta’s mother.
With no mana at his disposal, Asta ensures that he still shines as a Magic Knight with the help of other members of his squad and his mentor, Yami Sukehiro.
Coming to his abilities, Asta heavily relies on the Anti-Magic power that he uses to nullify magic. This ability comes from the devil connected to his grimoire.
Now, it's time to find out how swift Asta is in the series.
How Fast Is Asta?
The concept of speed in Black Clover is likely a bit different from the real world. However, the scaling of speed in the world of Black Clover is still based on the speed of light.
In the manga, there are several characters who can reach the speed of light, and they are introduced pretty early in the series.
The Magic Knights can reach their destination at the speed of light and in some instances, they even go past that.
For instance, Yami has stated that he can go faster, which indicates that he can go faster than light.
In Black Clover, when a character becomes stronger, they automatically become faster.
Now, coming to Asta, when he is in his Black Asta form, he becomes quite strong and is drawn to powerful magic.
But that’s not all. In the black form, Asta’s speed also reaches new heights and he can easily go above 15 times the speed of light.
Moreover, as the manga progresses, Asta becomes even stronger than his previous versions.
When he faces the Dark Triad in the Spade Kingdom Arc, he matches them in terms of power on several levels.
When he is battling against one of the Zogratis siblings named Lucius Zogratis, who is believed to be the fastest character in Black Clover, Asta is able to match his speed.
This all clearly points out that Asta’s speed reaches exponential heights because the increase in his strength is directly proportional to the increase in his speed.
