Overview

Insert the text of the quote here, without quotation marks.

— To himself in The Boy's Vow

Asta 「アスタ Asuta」 is an orphan left under the care of a church in the village of Hage.[1] He is the wielder of the five-leaf clover Grimoire and a member of Clover Kingdom's Black Bull squad.[2][3]

Appearance

Asta is a young man of short stature with a muscular build. He has green eyes and messy ash blond hair with a single strand protruding upwards from the center of his head. He keeps his hair together with a black headband, which has the gold-colored Black Bull insignia and a red-colored four-sided star with three stitches on it.

Asta's common outfit consists of a plain-white tunic with a V-shaped collar underneath a dark blue jacket whose sleeves extend only up to his elbows. He sports a pair of matching shorts which has a stitch marks on the left side. His pants also extends just below his knees. His shoes is made out of two different cloths, the parts covering his ankles, the soles the same color as his jacket and pants. The parts covering his toes are white, a vertical stitch mark going from the bridge to his toes.

After receiving his grimoire, Asta wears a pouch strapped to a brown leather belt. Additionally, as a member of Black Bull, he wears his squad's signature robe, which is black and short with gold trimming and covers the upper half of his torso. It also has a hood and a gold-colored button located at the right-hand side to hold it together, while the left-hand side displays the squad's insignia.

Personality

Asta shouting at Noelle

Asta's explosive nature.

Asta generally is cheerful and hyperactive.[4] He tends to shout to express his thoughts and expresses his goals, regardless of other people's opinions, as seen when he expressed his goal on becoming a Magic Emperor during the Magic Knights entrance exam, where he tells other people who disagree with him to be quiet.[5] His strong tenacity interests Yami Sukehiro enough to recruit him into his ranks.[6] His strong determination also leads him to have a strong will to never give up and keep standing during a harsh battle, as acknowledged by Magna Swing.[7]

Because of his upbringing at the Forsaken region, Asta frequently receives harsh opinions and insults from almost everyone he meets. This makes Asta have a slightly sarcastic nature as he tries to defend himself.[8][9] But, having received harsh opinions from others, Asta has developed an immunity to them as he could easily brush them off without getting overly annoyed.[10] However, Asta is still annoyed when others deeply insult his comrades; he will not hesitate to confront them as he tries to defend his friends.[11]

Origin of Asta and Noelle bond

Asta accepts Noelle as his comrade.

Asta also has a very strong sense of justice, which is shown during his fight against Heath Grice, as he believes that everyone deserves to be protected.[12] It is also not limited to only his comrades but his enemies as well, as noted when he asks his fellow squadmates to take the unconscious Mars along with them while the dungeon is collapsing. He argues that their mission is only to explore a dungeon as they are not ordered to kill any enemies.[13] Therefore, Asta seems to see the positive side of everyone and never takes an insult too seriously, as seen when he still befriends both Yuno and Noelle Silva even after both given him harsh opinions.[14][15]

Battle Prowess

Magic

  • Anti Magic: Asta uses this form of magic to nullify other magic.[16] After being healed by the Witch Queen, Asta can now channel Anti Magic through his body faster and in a more condensed form, thus gaining a partial demon transformation.

Abilities

  • Expert Swordsman: Asta displays the ability to wield a sword, although still only at a level in which he swings it only in his opponent's direction[17] and with the addition of his second sword's different shape and abilities, his tactical usage of his swords has increased. After being trained by Fanzell Kruger, Asta's swordsmanship has increased.
  • Enhanced Strength: Asta possesses an above-average physical strength, able to do a thousand single-handed handstand push-ups and to swing his sword single-handedly.[18][19] Asta can swing his swords with inhuman force, able to damage powerful magic-wielding opponents.
  • Enhanced Speed: Asta is capable of moving in an above-average speed, which causes William Vangeance to think that he has used magic to aid himself.[20]
  • Enhanced Durability: Asta possesses a high durability, as seen when he is able to keep standing up, despite receiving numerous attacks from Heath.[21] He is even able to emerge from Licht's attempted cave-in relatively unharmed alongside Yami.[22]
  • Enhanced Instinct: Asta possesses a heightened level of instinct, as demonstrated when he can unconsciously moves his body in the best way to defend himself.[23]
  • Ki: A principle originating from Yami's homeland, this allows Asta to use a sixth sense and to perceive and react to unseen attacks and persons.[24]

Equipment

  • Grimoire: Asta wields a five-leaf clover grimoire, which he receives during his fight with Lebuty. The grimoire is tattered and covered in dirt, a black five-leaf clover insignia at the center of its front cover.[25] This clover symbol is largely unseen due to the dirt covering it, making most (including Asta) assume that the grimoire possesses unusual magic but is otherwise ordinary. Asta is able to summon a sword from it, which he uses for his anti magic.[26] His grimoire appears to be very unique, as Licht is rather annoyed that someone like Asta possesses it. Licht also claims that the grimoire actually does not belong to Asta, but to someone else.
  • Demon-Dweller Sword: Asta's second sword can also cut spells with its edges and can borrow the magic from his allies, thereby increasing the force and range of his attacks.[29][30] Only Asta can wield this sword because he possesses no mana, as other mages would not be able to use any magic while in contact with the sword and would have their mana reserves depleted.[31]
