Overview

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

— To himself in The Boy's Vow

Asta 「アスタ Asuta」[1] is an orphan left under the care of a church in the village of Hage.[2] He is the wielder of a five-leaf clover grimoire[3] and is a 3rd Class Junior Magic Knight[4] of the Clover Kingdom's Black Bull[5] and Royal Knights squads.[6]

Appearance

Asta is a young man of short stature with an exceptionally 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 has a red-colored four-sided star with three stitches on the back of 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.

In his Black Asta form, his right arm is covered in black Anti Magic, a black wing sprouts from his right shoulder, a black horn called a Weg sprouts from the right side of his head, his upper right canine tooth elongates, and his right eye turns red with the pupil becoming slit-like.[7] As he draws on more Anti Magic, more of his body is covered, an additional horn forms on his head, and his lower right canine tooth elongates.[8]

Personality

Asta shouting at Noelle

Asta's explosive nature.

Asta generally is cheerful and hyperactive.[9] He tends to shout to express his thoughts and goals, much to the annoyance of some of those around him, and often in spite of other people's opinions. One of the first examples of this is when he conveyed his goal of becoming a Magic Emperor during the Magic Knights entrance exam, and told other people who jeered at him to be quiet.[10] Asta's simple yet outgoing personality is frequently played to comedic effect during more serious situations. However, his strong tenacity interests Yami Sukehiro enough to recruit him into his ranks[11], and his determination also leads him to possess an indomitable will. Asta's determination to never give up, added with his own steel fortitude during grueling or harsh battles, is a trait that becomes the basis for others to acknowledge him, such as Magna Swing.[12] However, Asta has shown to have struggled accepting his lack of magic, using his boisterous attitude as a front to hide his insecurity. After having his arms broken and cursed by Vetto, Asta nearly slips into a depression before talking and forcing himself to continue pushing onward.

Because of his upbringing at the Forsaken region, Asta frequently receives cruel opinions and insults from almost everyone he meets. To counteract this, Asta appears to have developed a slightly sarcastic nature as he tries to defend himself.[13][14] The regularity at which he's exposed to such degrading remarks is such that he now has a certain immunity to them, shown when he easily brushes them off without getting overly annoyed.[15] However, Asta can still become irritated when others deeply insult his comrades; he will not hesitate to confront them as he tries to defend his friends.[16]

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.[17] 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.[18] 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 had openly looked down on him.[19][20] Even when Fana is trying to kill him and his allies with all her power, he attempts to reason with her as a means to understand and talk her down from her rage, showing consideration for nonviolent methods of solving conflict. He later continues to do this with the reincarnated elves, despite no success among repeated attempts.

However, Asta also believes that those that have done wrong should work to actively make up for their wrongdoings. He always holds his enemies accountable for their misdeeds, regardless if he's forgiven them or not. First shown when he requests Neige spend time in prison before promising to become his friend, Asta later demands that the weakened Ladros apologize to and help all the people he's harmed. In another example, he puts Rades into a submission hold during their next meeting, nearly breaking his arm until the latter successfully convinces him that he'll use his powers to help the people in the capital rather than for revenge.

His open, friendly, and non-judgmental attitude, indomitable will, and stubbornness has earned him the respect of almost everyone he meets, even nobles such as Klaus and Fuegoleon Vermillion. It has also earned him the affection of numerous girls, though his love for Sister Lily, combined with his somewhat dense personality, has made him largely oblivious of this fact. This love for Lily and obliviousness also make him somewhat chivalrous and non perverted as he absolutely refused to try to peek on the girls while bathing at the hotspring.

Battle Prowess

Magic

Abilities

  • Expert Swordsman: Asta initially has a rough style due to having an unconventional sword and having only received basic training from Fanzell Kruger.[22][23] Over time he develops greater skill through battle experience, additional swords, and ki-sensing.[24]
  • No Magic Power: Asta possesses no mana and so is unable to use magic.[25] This enables Asta to wield Anti Magic without suffering the weakening effects since he has no magic to drain.[26] This also makes him undetectable to mana-sensors.[27]
  • Enhanced Strength: Asta possesses a high level of physical strength, able to do a thousand single-handed handstand push-ups,[28] to swing heavy swords single-handedly,[29] and to punch holes in rock walls with no injury to himself.[30] Asta can swing his swords with such force that his opponents break stone when they crash.[31][32] The Witch Queen further enhances his arm strength using blood magic.
  • 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.[33]
  • Enhanced Durability: Asta possesses a high durability, as seen when he is able to keep standing up, despite receiving numerous attacks from Heath.[34] He is even able to emerge from Licht's attempted cave-in relatively unharmed alongside Yami.[35]
  • Enhanced Instinct: Asta possesses a heightened level of instinct, as demonstrated when he can unconsciously move his body in the best way to defend himself.[36]
  • 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 people.[37]
  • Keen Intellect: Despite his hyperactive and headstrong nature, Asta has shown to be intelligent and thoughtful in his own right. He understands many situations he finds himself in and can be tactical when needed such as cutting out curses with his swords and thinking of different tactics in battle.

Equipment

  • Grimoire: Asta wields a five-leaf clover grimoire, which he receives during his fight with Revchi. The grimoire is tattered and filthy, a black five-leaf clover insignia at the center of its front cover.[38] 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 swords from it, which he uses for his Anti Magic.[39] His grimoire used to be a four-leaf clover grimoire that belonged to Licht, before being corrupted by a devil and inhabited by another.[40][41]
  • Demon-Dweller Sword: Asta's second sword can cut spells with its edges, much like the Demon-Slayer Sword. It can also borrow the magic from the people around him, thereby increasing the force and range of his attacks.[44][45] Besides Licht, 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.[26]

Fights

Events

Relationships

Yuno

Yuno is Asta's foster brother, best friend, and rival. They grew up at Hage Village together. Both of them are aiming for the title of Magic Emperor, and are competing to get the title first. Asta and Yuno have a mutual respect and acknowledgement for one another, and can usually be seen standing together during their infrequent meetings. It is their rivalry that acts as their motivation to improve themselves. In spite of their long-term competition and the differences in their personalities and abilities, they do not antagonize each other. Asta is comfortable being around Yuno and fighting alongside him, and the two become a powerful force in combat when they work together.

Noelle Silva

Noelle Silva is Asta's squadmate in the Black Bulls. She initially disliked him of his low status and disrespectful attitude until he saves her when she loses control of her magic and states how amazing her powers are. Soon after he became the first commoner she's ever acknowledged and her attitude towards him changes. As the story progresses she develops strong feelings for him but is reluctant to express it (although he doesn't notice). She blasts him away every time he either says or does something stupid. Asta himself considers her a close friend as they tend to spend the most time together of the Black Bull and end up fighting in battles together most often.

Yami Sukehiro

Asta's squad Captain who recruited Asta into the Black Bulls after becoming interested in Asta's abilities and determination. This makes Asta grateful to Yami but he is sometimes put off by Yami's intimidating personality. An example is how often Yami threatens to kill Asta if the later didn't listen which becomes a running gag. Regardless, Asta deeply respects Yami as his captain, especially after witnessing his strength and caring side. In return, Yami comes to respect Asta and believes in his potential.

Lily Aquaria

Asta has a deep infatuation with Sister Lily despite her being a nun, and has repeatedly proposed to her over the years, often several times at once. She rejects him every time as well despite his insistence, prompting her to use Magic at times to draw a line.

Nero

An anti-bird, who's original name is Secre Swallowtail, that follows and somewhat guides Asta since the Magic Knights Entrance Exams. Nero would often attack Asta by pecking him, but also guides him to various important places. This guidance allowed Asta to find the Demon-Dweller Sword and the magic stones. As they spend more time together, Asta has gone use to Nero and sees the bird as a companion. When Nero reveals her human form, she reveals how she felt about Asta. It is shown she first found Asta the moment he attained Licht's Grimiore by coincidence. She initially only used Asta for her own goals and found his dream to be foolish as she couldn't imagine Asta being like Lemiel. However, she slowly became attached to Asta and believed in him as she spends more time with him. Even after Nero became human, Asta felt he recognized her and eventually deduced that she and Nero were the same.

Mimosa Vermillion

Asta considers Mimosa Vermillion a friend despite being in a different squad, but is oblivious to her romantic feelings toward him.

Rebecca Scarlet

Despite an awkward first meeting, Asta and Rebecca Scarlet become fast friends after bonding over their experiences with their siblings. Asta sees Rebecca as a close friend and he enjoys spending time with her and her siblings, though like the other girls, he is oblivious to her romantic feelings toward him.
