Friendships are a particularly important aspect of a series that keeps viewers entertained and invested. An anime can have a compelling storyline, epic fights, developed worlds, and amazing magic systems, but it’s the characters that truly make or break a series.
In Black Clover, there’s a lot of hostility in the world between the nobility and the commoners, the elves and the humans, and between members of different nations. Despite these divisions, the bonds of friendship between many of the characters, whether they’re in the same Magic Knight squads, different Magic Knight squads, or just regular citizens, are unbreakable.
10 Secre Swallowtail (Nero) and Lemiel Silvamillion Clover (the First Wizard King) Grew Close While Creating Magical Tools To Help The Kingdom
Secre Swallowtail and Lemiel Silvamillion Clover’s friendship was one that developed over time. Secre was initially hired to be Lemiel’s servant. However, Lemiel treated Secre as a friend from the very beginning, and together they created magic tools that would help the Kingdom.
Lemiel was the first person to see Secre’s magic as something other than useless. For that, she’s incredibly loyal to him and would do anything for him. They trust each other completely and are so familiar with one another that they make a unified pair in battle.
9 Luck Voltia And Magna Swing Have An Explosive Friendship And No Problem Pushing Each Other To Grow Stronger
Luck Voltia, a lightning magic user, and Magna Swing, a fire magic user, have an interesting friendship. There’s no other pair of friends more than willing to fight their hearts out all while destroying their surroundings. Since joining the Black Bulls, the pair have often competed against each other to see who was stronger.
It may seem like they’re antagonizing each other out of malicious intent, but that’s just their way of encouraging the other to grow stronger and not to be outdone. Similar to Asta and Yuno, these two are so in sync that they make an intimidating team.
8 Undine And Lolopechka Are More Than Spirit And Princess — They’re Family
Undine is the water spirit guardian who protects the queens and princesses of the Heart Kingdom, and for the moment, her charge is Lolopechka. Unlike Slyph, the air spirit who chose Yuno, Undine acts more like a mother, guardian, and best friend to the princess, and she’s helped raise Lolopechka since she was a child.
They take care of one another and work together in perfect harmony, which is to be expected considering how scary-strong they are together. When one of them gets hurt, it’s painful for the other to see.
7 Charlotte Roselei And Sol Marron’s Bond Began Before Sol Joined The Blue Rose Magic Knight Squad
Even though they are technically captain and subordinate, Charlotte and Sol have a friendship that goes beyond those boundaries. When Sol was younger, Charlotte saved her from a group of men, so when Sol grew old enough, she joined the Blue Rose Magic Knight Squad to be by Charlotte’s side.
As Charlotte saved her in the past, Sol does her best to protect and look out for her captain now, whether it’s in battle or if she’s had too much to drink. Their friendship is more of a bond between sisters, which is reinforced by Sol referring to Charlotte as her sister in the subbed version of the anime and by using the nickname Char in the dub.
6 Yami Sukehiro and Jack The Ripper Enjoy Nothing More Than Competing With Each Other
Whenever the Magic Knight captains Yami Sukehiro and Jack the Ripper are together, they’re a force to be reckoned with. They have a rivalry that’s based on who’s the strongest and often test their limits to see who can hurt or kill the most enemies. Other times, they’re competing to see who can outdrink the other or who can sell the most food.
But when it comes down to it, the two complement each other in fighting styles and personalities alike. Their teamwork is impeccable, and they acknowledge one another’s abilities, strengths, and opinions.
5 Julius Novachrono Was Yami Sukehiro’s First Friend When He Arrived In The Clover Kingdom
As the Wizard King, many would assume that Julius wouldn’t be down to earth or approachable. But he is, in fact, just the type of Wizard King to go in disguise to observe the inner workings of the Clover Kingdom with his own eyes.
Julius and Yami’s friendship started when Julius was a magic knight and saw Yami practicing dark magic. He then invited him to join his Magic Knight squad and became Yami’s first friend. Since that moment, the two have been close friends and trust each other implicitly, without hesitation.
4 Nozel Silva And Fuegoleon Vermillion Are The Epitome Of Fire And Ice
Similar to Yami and Jack the Ripper, Nozel Silva and Fuegoleon Vermillion have a friendship that stems from rivalry and a need to be the best. As royals, these two have known each other for many years, and they’re more than willing to push one another to grow stronger. They’re also not afraid to go toe-to-toe if the situation calls for it.
Even though they usually seem annoyed with one another, they still have a deep respect for each other. When Fuegoleon lost his arm and fell into a coma, it was Nozel who said that he would get revenge for his friend and rival.
3 Lolopechka, Mimosa Vermillion, And Noelle Silva Spent Six Months Growing Stronger As Magic Knights And Friends
As royals, Noelle and Mimosa have known each another since childhood and their friendship has held strong for many years. Knowing how hard she works, Mimosa has a deep level of respect for Noelle and only wants to see her succeed.
While spending six months in the Heart Kingdom to train for an upcoming battle, the two became close friends with Lolopechka, the Princess of the Heart Kingdom, close enough that the Princess trusts them significantly and feels comfortable breaking down and showing them her true self. The three work well together and are willing to do whatever it takes to help each other grow stronger — as Knights and as people. Even though it’s a newly-blossomed friendship, it’s one that will last a lifetime.
2 Noelle Silva And Asta Prove That Commoners And Royals Can Be Friends
Noelle Silva is of royal descent while Asta is a commoner. Under normal circumstances, the two would never be friends, yet they are. Even if it doesn’t seem like it when Noelle acts like a snobby noble — but that’s all a facade.
Underneath all of that, she cares deeply about Asta, just like he does for her. When she didn’t believe in herself, he was there to pick her up and show her that she’s an incredible Magic Knight, and when Asta needed someone to have his back, she was there for him too.
1 Asta And Yuno Are Friends, Rivals, and Brothers In Everything But Blood
Having grown up together in the same orphanage, Asta and Yuno have been friends and brothers for their entire lives. As both of their goals are to become the Wizard King, this also makes them rivals, meaning that they’re willing to push each other to grow stronger and protect one another all to see who will become the Wizard King first.
When two people have been friends for so long, they know that they can always count on each other. Not only that, but Asta and Yuno are also eerily in sync with each other; when they’re fighting together, it’s almost like they can read each other’s minds and predict what the other will do next.
