Warning: Revealing the contents of KingNetflix’s Black Clover: Sword Of The Wizard Black Clover: The Sorcerer King’s Sword the series has many connections to Yuki Tabata’s ongoing manga. Although Netflix has announced that the film is unofficial, this contradicts the fact that there are events in the manga that clearly affect its overall plot, set before Asta’s journey and Black Bulls enter the Kingdom of Hearts. It would be more correct to say that Sword of the Wizard King is a standalone story that doesn’t affect future events in the manga, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any ties.
In the first scene of the film, Asta is unable to participate in a tournament because he is exiled due to the events of chapter #219. However, he managed to participate by registering under a fake name and wearing a mask. Although this is a direct connection to the manga, the difference is that even after Asta was exiled in the manga, he was still able to freely move around the kingdom to arrange his affairs before leaving. Go. And when he left, he had come too far to the Heart Kingdom to be able to move back and forth freely. Furthermore, the Black Bulls are not exiled in the movie as in the manga, where they share the same fate as Asta.
Many relationships in the movie Black Clover are no problem
But not all links are retcons. The most interesting thing is related to the Demon Skeleton in Hage that the anime always mentions at the beginning of each episode. However, by chapter #205, the mystery of the Demon Skeleton was fully explained, which even led to the first Sorcerer King being resurrected and Nero transforming from a bird into a human form. her original. However, the skull ends up becoming a major location in the film.
Another link refers to the time when Licht stabs and kills Julius. As Julius explained in chapter #215, he can avoid death by depending on the Time Magic he has accumulated on his forehead to bring him back to an earlier point in his life. in case he has to avoid an unpleasant turn of events, such as this one. Because Julius had been rewinded to a time when his magic was much weaker, the spell Julius used 10 years ago to seal the film’s evil Conrad was weakened, allowing Conrad to hide exit.
The Sorcerer King’s sword reflects current events in the Black Clover Manga
The film also reflects the events unfolding in the manga in a pleasant way. For example, in the movie, Conrad is a former Sorcerer King trying to create a more equal world just like Lucius Zogratis, who shares the same body as the current Sorcerer King, is doing in the manga. The difference is that Conrad’s vision is dependent on destroying things while Lucius is manipulating people’s souls to turn them into his vision of perfection. The film also revisits Asta’s relationship with each Sorcerer King. In the manga, Lucius sees Asta’s imperfections as a stain that must be removed in order for his new world to be truly equal. Meanwhile, Conrad sees him and Asta as the same spirits who even share the same spell about their special kind of magic.
Considering the current reveal of the Sorcerer King as the ultimate villain in Black Clover’s saga, the film’s release couldn’t have come at a better time. While the events of Black Clover: Sword of the Sorcerer King has been declared unofficial, fans of the series will still find plenty of satisfying ties to the ongoing manga.
