VerifiedThe ending of this episode shifts back towards the main plot and the whole sequence/arc with Fanzel in a flashback format was peak! His story and mentor-like relationship with Asta + the gags were really entertaining.

VerifiedFanzell is a funny character and his interactions with Asta are fun, but the intrigue stops there.. The derailed plot and shifted center of the past 2 episodes feel pretty unnecessary, It helped explain the conveniently placed Fanzell they visit in present though.

VerifiedThe whole arc with Fanzell felt like too much in such a short span of time. Especially with his fiance's return and emotional (ish) reunion with him, I could honestly care less, since we were barely introduced to the characters or how much Dominante
means to him.
means to him.

Fanzell being naked all the time is getting kind of weird and the way the Black Bulls tied him up for it was the only good part
mumen_rider
Dominante being the one who made Noelle's wand is a cool connection and it leads perfectly into the search for a cure in the Witch Forest
kisuke_benihime_462
The way the Black Bulls immediately jumped Fanzell when he showed up naked in front of Noelle shows they really care about her
twili_287
The backstory about Fanzell and Dominante leaving the Diamond Kingdom together made their reunion feel much more meaningful and earned after all the flashbacks
alder_326
My heart actually hurt for Asta when Dominante mentioned the Witch Queen might be the only way to fix his arms and I really hope he finds a way to get back to normal
getsuga_tensho_463
Watching Dominante punch Fanzell right in the face made me laugh so hard because that reunion was actually pretty sweet after all the waiting
tijo_283
That ending mention of the Witch Queen and the Witches Forest has me curious about where they are going and how she is actually going to fix those broken arms
robin_reader
It is a bit weird that Fanzell is still walking around naked all the time, but the gag actually pays off when the Black Bulls just jump him for being a pervert

The reveal about Noelle's wand being a Diamond Kingdom creation is a massive surprise and it really helps tie these backstory episodes back into the main plot
lokomo
Fanzell is such a weird guy and his constant nakedness is hilarious but the plot feels all over the place with how fast they introduced his fiancée and then immediately moved onto the next arc
bakugo_blast_122
The connection between Noelle and Mariella was a nice touch because seeing them both learn to actually trust people and open up is a really nice change for their characters
kaolinite_382
Dominante punching Fanzell before they shared that big hug was really something and I really felt for them after everything they went through to find each other again

My brain was hurting trying to follow how Mariella respects Fanzell while simultaneously trying to kill him and his wife but the Black Bulls showing up to just take out those assassins was a great way to handle that messy encounter
naofumi_naysayer_149
Connecting all these random flashbacks to the current hunt for Asta's cure was a relief, though the timeline shifts were still a little confusing to follow
rosa_sisters_276
I think it's hilarious how Fanzell is just accidentally naked all the time and Noelle immediately blasts him and the way he teaches Asta sword stuff makes so much sense now
joseph_joestar
My mind went straight to the future episodes when Dominante mentioned the Witches Forest because Asta really needs those arms fixed and the setup felt natural
kuroneko_42
Fanzell is a total weirdo for always being naked but he clearly knows his stuff and it was nice to see him get a happy ending with Dominante
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 56 wraps up the two-part Fanzell filler arc that began in Episode 55, spending its runtime deepening his backstory and personal connections before the series moves forward. It sits roughly a third of the way through Black Clover's 170-episode run, landing in a stretch between major canon arcs. Episode 57 pivots toward the Witches' Forest storyline, making this the last low-stakes detour before the narrative picks up significant momentum again.
