Black Clover is coming with its movie this summer titled Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King on Netflix. Netflix released the second trailer around a month ago and the first one nearly four months ago. This keeps the audience on the edge of their seats as the anime will hit the theatres on June 16th, 2023.
Black Clover has been an intense sensation ever since its adaptation into anime. The anime has been able to reach out to a great audience and the show gained immense popularity. Due to the rising themes of family, nation, and peace, the anime also has a political narrative and angle to it. But apart from that, it is an action-packed adventure altogether.
Asta and his dream of becoming the Wizard King
Asta has a lifelong dream of becoming the Wizard King. He has worked tirelessly throughout his life to achieve everything. Even though he was born without any magical ability, it is his sheer determination and will which pushes him closer to his ultimate goal. But as Netflix releases the trailer of the upcoming movie the question is whether Asta will move closer towards his goal or will it set a different path for him.
The trailer shows some unexpected twists and cliffhangers for anime fans. It is filled with some elements of curious interaction, where anime fans are left with a lot of questions. Although these questions are more illusory than they might seem, the larger narrative of the movie still stands blurry for anime fans. In all of this confusion, it is difficult to find out whether the story will keep Asta as the central protagonist or simultaneously take every other character forward.
Will the Black Clover movie follow Yuki Tabata’s manga?
Yuki Tabata is the original creator of the Black Clover manga. He has written 32 volumes of the manga. The animators had to pause the animation of the manga as it was only a few chapters ahead of the anime.
This tells us that the story by Tabata is still underway and we have a lot of twists coming up in the future. But the question is whether the anime will stick to the manga or deviate a little from it.
Anime has always stuck to a manga storyline. This is for the reader to properly enjoy and navigate through the animated version. Black Clover has also been a clear adaptation of the manga. Therefore, if the manga artist Yuki Tabata decides to navigate the storyline by making Asta the protagonist throughout, the anime is most likely to follow the same course.
Can we expect a classic Shonen anime or is the Black Clover movie a deviation?
The Black Clover anime has always been more than just a Shonen anime. It extends beyond traditional Shonen narrative, adding to it elements of light-hearted comedy and drama as well.
To say if the movie will focus on just action and adventure is therefore a vague analogy. The movie trailer shows that it has added dramatic elements to its already existing action-adventure plot. So we can expect Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King to be an amalgamation of Shonen anime as well as added sub-genre elements too.
Conclusion
With the release of the trailer, the fans have been excited about the possible outcome of further advancements in the story. Black Clover has always been a people’s favorite. The action anime is sure to bring in tidal waves of anticipation in the months to come.
As the release dates grow closer, we have to remember that the fandom has waited for a long time for the story to proceed in the cinematic form. It has to be seen as an effort of the masses that Black Clover is hitting the platforms again.
