Black Clover fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of “Sword of Wizard King”. The movie is the first installment in the Black Clover saga and picks up where the anime left off in 2021. Although the manga is still ongoing, the movie has created its own unique storyline that has been supervised by creator Yuki Tabata. In this article, we will discuss the synopsis, characters, and where to watch the Black Clover: Sword of Wizard King movie.
Synopsis
The movie follows Asta, an orphan boy who was born without magic powers, and his rival Yuno, a young talented wizard. The two friends must confront former Wizard King Conrad Leto, who was respected by the people of Clover Kingdom before he rebelled and was sealed away. Leto is now back and plans to use the Imperial Sword to resurrect the three most feared Wizard Kings in history – Edward Avalache, Princia Funnybunny, and Jester Garandaros – to take control of the Kingdom.
Characters
The movie introduces new characters while maintaining old ones. Asta remains the main protagonist, with Yuno as the deuteragonist. However, the movie’s antagonist, Conrad Leto, is a new character. Asta is an ambitious young boy who dreams of becoming the Wizard King. He was able to pass the Magic Knights’ entrance exam after receiving a five-leaf clover grimoire, which allowed him to use anti-magic. Although he was born without magic, his passion and fighting spirit inspire others around him. Meanwhile, Yuno, a friend of Asta, is a prodigious wizard who aims to become the Wizard King. He is also the Vice-Captain of the Golden Dawn squad and the Prince of Spade Kingdom.
Other characters include Noelle Silva, who is also a member of the Black Bulls. She is a noblewoman who is determined to learn water magic, although she initially struggled to control it. Yami Sukehiro is the Captain of the Black Bulls, who is known for his laid-back, nonchalant approach to leadership, but is fierce in battle. Julius Novachrono is the current Wizard King, known for his ability to manipulate time. Finally, there is Leto, the movie’s villain, who aims to use the power of the Clover Kingdom’s magic to achieve his goals.
Where to Watch
The movie was released in Japan, but audiences worldwide can watch Black Clover: Sword of Wizard King on Netflix. It has a runtime of 113 minutes and was directed by Ayataka Tanemura and produced by Pierrot, the same studio behind the anime adaptation. The soundtrack, “Here I Stand,” is performed by the K-Pop idol group Treasure.
Conclusion
Overall, the Black Clover: Sword of Wizard King movie offers a unique narrative that can be enjoyed by both fans of the manga and anime adaptation and those new to the series. The characters are well-developed, and the movie carefully balances the introduction of new faces while still maintaining the old.
