That was Solid? My bad then. Guess Nozel is better in my book than I initially though, bad haircut aside.
Kirsch is just really fun. And beautiful. That fight against Asta's team is a really good one. It's pretty much just everyone showing Kirsch he ain't shit, from his peasant + commoner teammates putting in work, to his sister working well with another peasant + commoner who end up beating him and then Zora just tears into him and Kirsch ends up admitting that the way Asta and Magna gave everything they had was beautiful. Just a really nice short fight for a tournament arc with a somewhat dislikable but easily redeemable character who goes from threat to potential ally you're ready to root for in the future. For he then becomes truly beautiful. Zora slowly trusting and working with Asta/Mimosa more is also a cool aspect of the fight. (God I'm glad Zora's back!)
She's actually done that already. Both in that she had that realization while preparing for the Underwater Temple trip but also in that she let her family know in the tournament(or rather just Solid, but the others probably get it)
Oh...Karna canon? Karna joining the main manga? Cause if it happened with some light novel...
First, yes Noelle is fucking awesome indeed.
Noelle DOES NOT disappoint!
True. As far as captains go, it's been mostly Yami, Fuego and Leona who have had the really hype stuff. I guess that may have been because Nozel hadn't been someone we were meant to actually like until very recently (hell he only apologized today lol). But Nozel did say that he wanted to take care of Patry during the raid so he might be in that fight, after some healing. I imagine right now Patry is much stronger than when he fought Yami so Yami may not be able to take care of him alone. Or maybe he takes part in the fight against the real Licht.
It shook both of them (Solid and the sister who's name I forget) to their core, so it works for me.
So flashback I assume? Seems awkward from a storytelling standpoint? Would have fit in better before he broke his arms.
Nice. Probably gonna be a flashback then. Ideal would've been in between the Licht fight and the Water temple but at this point a flashback is the best they can do.
I wonder if the initial order of episodes was just for a year so they didn't think they'd get to it. Flashback is better than nothing though, maybe I'll check out those episodes.
Lol. But yeah while I've been liking the anime more recently, I still think what you're doing is the way to go and is what I recommend. I do with Black Clover what I did with Naruto Shippuden where I watch the anime and then when there's a standout episode, I go tell my friends to check it out but otherwise I don't tell them to follow it in addition to the manga.
Honestly that moment is when I started loving Asta when I first read the series. I always liked him, except maybe the very start where I didn't care too much, but that moment just took it to another level for me. Especially because in the fight against Vetto, when Vetto outlines Asta's weaknesses (which is a pretty cool moment btw cause it's Vetto trying to psychologically affect his opponent without just shouting "DESPAIR" repeatedly), Asta says that not knowing when to give up is not a weakness but rather the only weapon he's got and then that moment on top of the rock came and that's when I really was able to buy into that line.
My favorite moment happens shortly after with him breaking down in tears after seeing all his friends trying to find ways to save his arms. It's just as powerful.
She's easily up there for sure, if not at the top.
She's the strongest probably at this point, but nah, I hear too many great things about Emma (Promised Neverland) to give it to Noelle.
She's had conversations with other girls/women that aren't about men though. She's talked about stuff like her family and her troubles with magic control and such with Mimosa, Vanessa, Kahono and Mereoleona.
I remember most of her magic talks eventually coming around to mentioning Asta in some way and her family talks being about either Solid or Nozel, but I could be remembering incorrectly. That happens when you marathon the whole series in like 4 hours.
With Mereoleona she discussed her mother and I think with Kahono she discussed her family at a broad level I think, though we know that Solid and Nozel were her more notable critics compared to Nebra who's just kinda there. With the magic stuff I think Asta mostly comes up as an inspiration when she's fighting but with Mimosa they talked about how other royals/nobles judged her as a kid when she trained and with Vanessa, they went shopping for magic control/training stuff and before that Vanessa offered to help her train. Though still, Asta does remain a big part of the topic when it comes to her training.
Oh yeah that's possible. I assumed she was respected by all because Noelle seems to respect her a lot but that may not be true of all of them.
