After nearly a decade, Yuki Tabata’s Black Clover series has finally come to an end. It took 392 chapters, but readers have finally seen Asta and the Clover Kingdom’s adventures come to an end. Of course, with any battle shonen, there’s one question that remains: who are the strongest characters?
With the strongest threats taken care of, the balance of power has shifted massively by the end of the series. Naturally, it’s the characters who are left standing that get to have a right to call themselves the strongest. However, the epilogue does finally provide fans with a final battle between the show’s long-standing rivals, making sure everyone knows who the most powerful person is.
Nozel Silva Allowed His Sister To Surpass Him At The End
Captain of the Silver Eagles, Nozel Silva was at one point one of the most powerful characters in Black Clover. However, as other characters faced greater challenges, they were forced to train and level up in ways Nozel wasn’t. By the end of the series, he’s even far surpassed by the likes of his little sister, Noelle.
Nonetheless, he’s an expert at wielding his Mercury Magic, and continues to develop spells late into the series. His Silver Guardian spell shows his full mastery over mercury, coating him in mercury and allowing him to defend against any attack, while his attack spells can cut any opponent. Interestingly, though he’s far from the strongest, he’s also one of the only people to never take a loss in the manga.
Fuegoleon Vermillion Gained Control Over The Power Of The Fire Spirit
At one point, the Captain of the Crimson Lions, Fuegoleon, was the ideal Magic Knight when he made his first appearance. His diligence and strength make him the Captain with the most loyal collection of soldiers, even if they don’t quite match up to the standards of his older sister. Still, Fuegoleon himself was already considered one of the most powerful characters of the series by virtue of being a Magic Knight Captain.
Later in the series, Fuegoleon gains a massive boost in power after being chosen by the Salamander fire spirit. Though he lost his arm, his creation fire magic becomes more precise and powerful than ever. Though he suffered one loss at the hands of the elves, after gaining Salamander’s power, Fuegoleon became one of shonen anime’s best flame wielders.

Nacht Faust Takes Over Running The Black Bulls
Originally the Vice Captain of the Black Bulls guild, Nacht Faust spent much of his time operating as a spy in the Spade Kingdom. Fortunately, his abilities as a devil host allowed him to fit right in. The last member of House Faust, Nacht manages to contract four different devils to him, which combine with his Shadow Magic to make him a deadly threat.
At the end of the series, Nacht uses his powers to overcome a twisted clone of his brother Morgen, finally putting his past behind him. Working with both Yami and his sister, Nacht continued to unlock greater powers, like the Compound Magic spell, Walpurgis Night. More powerful and confident than ever, Nacht is able to take over as Captain of the Black Bulls after Yami retires.
William Vangeance’s World Tree Magic Makes Him Dangerous
Captain of the Golden Dawn, at one point William Vangeance was responsible for the most respected Magic Knight guild in Clover Kingdom. Sharing a body with the elf Patolli, he wielded incredible magic power while operating as a double agent for the elves. However, even after Patolli got a body of his own, William continued to display he was one of the best knights the Magic Knights had to offer.
Vangeance wields the power of World Tree magic, allowing him to create world trees out of nothing. He’s also capable of using that power to craft objects, including powerful weapons like the Mistilteinn Blade. Though Vangeance doesn’t have many victories later in the series, Yami viewing him as an important rival combined with his standing is enough to respect his power.
Yosuga Musyogatake Used His Power For The Sake Of The Ryuzen Seven
At one point, Yosuga competed with his friend Ryuya Ryudo to decide who would become the leader of their homeland. While Ryuya was willing to give up his magic for the wisdom to lead, Yosuga instead chose to use his power to carry out Ryuya’s will. With that, Yosuga became the strongest member of the Ryuzen Seven.
A master of the Zetten technique, Yosuga is able to cut through anything with his blade. His Iron magic allows him to create an incredible defense while attacking his enemies, and he’s never actually lost a battle. Unsurprisingly, at the end of the series, he begins dating Mereoleona, the other undefeated warrior of the series.
Mereoleona Vermillion Remains Undefeated Even At The End
The interrim Captain of the Crimson Lions, Mereoleona is known as the Uncrowned, Undefeated Lioness. Throughout the series, she lives up to this role, never actually losing any of the fights she participates in. Wielding an incredible gift for magic, she’s uniquely able to unlock new powers that other nobles can only dream of.
Eventually, Mereoleona unlocks the power to transform herself into flame magic entirely. With the power of Exercitus Leonum, she converted her body into mana and resurrected several members of the Crimson Lions to help in a battle against Zoegratis’ minions. Though this was meant to destroy her once the flame wore off, she got a last-minute resurrection thanks to the remaining power of the Wizard King. Still, it’s obvious she stands above nearly every warrior other than the main heroes.
Noelle Silva’s Desire To Protect Others Led To Her Mastering Her Magic
Noelle Silva started as a mage who couldn’t control her powers. However, her time with the Black Bulls saw her become stronger than anyone realized. Over time, she unlocked progressively stronger magic spells until she became one of the strongest mages in Clover Kingdom.
During the series, Noelle briefly gained access to Spirit Magic with a contract to Undine, allowing her access to Saint Stage magic. While that wasn’t permanent, it didn’t stop Noelle from continuing to level up, instead learning to merge with the Sea God, Leviathan. With the power of her Dragon Valkyrie Dress, Noelle proved she was capable of fighting not only Lucius Zoegratis, but a revived version of her mother Acier as well.
Yami Sukehiro Gets In Touch With His Homeland To Grow In Strength
Throughout the series, Yami has shown himself as one of the best swordsmen in anime, and one of the most powerful Magic Knight Captains. While the other captains were satisfied with their levels of strength, Yami continued to believe he was capable of surpassing his limits. Through his adventures as leader of the Black Bulls, he gained the power to do exactly that.
Near the end of the manga, Yami consumes the Kikongai, a dangerous pill that raises someone’s power at the risk of them losing their sanity for a time. Yami maintained his control though, and simply became stronger than ever. As if that wasn’t enough, he fused with the devil Adrammelech to gain additional shadow powers. By the end of the series though, he abandons the Magic Knights to form his own squad, seemingly to avoid having to take orders from Asta.
Yuno Continues To Be Beloved By Magic
The chosen one of the Black Clover universe, Yuno just keeps managing to keep up with Asta no matter how hard Asta trains. He was gifted with a four-clover grimoire so he had a great head start, but throughout the series a mix of training and power-ups allow him to surpass nearly everyone else. He even gains a boost from an elf attempting to possess him, as he maintains control and simply gains the elves’ magic as well.
By the end of the series, he’s the only reason humanity is able to stand against Lucius’ nigh-invincible Paladins, thanks to his massive mana zone technique, Never-Never Land. The end of the series shows Yuno battling it out for the right to become Wizard King. In their battle, Yuno even comes up with a limited way of countering Asta’s anti-magic, proving how much of a genius he is. However, while he gave it everything, Asta still came out on top, limiting Yuno to being the second-strongest character.
Asta’s Strength Allows Him To Become The Wizard King
Asta continues to be the best example of how hard work can allow one to overcome any challenge. Possessing no magic from birth, Asta just happened to unlock a magic grimoire that granted him the power of Anti-Magic. Through countless challenges and threats to the Clover Kingdom, Asta gradually mastered Anti-Magic, unlocking more of what he could truly do with it.
Throughout the series, Asta gains a number of deadly techniques that rely on his anti-magic and his control over ki, taught to him by Yami. In a final battle with his rival Yuno, Asta displays everything he’s learned at once, from his control over anti-magic to his freakish strength. In the end, it’s his determination and the tactics he mastered fighting so many enemies that allows him to pull out a last-second victory, earning his position as Wizard King.
