This episode was pretty good! It features the first round with team B, featuring an incredible battle and intense fight choreography. I really thought they were about to lose, and the tension was so peak here.

This show did such a good job at ragebaiting with Xerx. Like I was as pissed as Asta, he did NOT have to hit Asta?? What was the point of harming his own teammate.

Asta and Mimosa's teamwork was pretty amazing! Every time Mimosa is shown, even briefly, I find her even more charismatic. She's surprisingly versatile and incredible within combat.

Episode Context

The Royal Knights Selection Exam shifts into high gear as Asta and Mimosa find themselves teamed with the mysterious Xerx Lügner against a squad of seasoned Magic Knights. This is a tournament battle episode through and through, fast-paced, tactically driven, and built around the question of whether raw determination can close the gap against experience. The team dynamics carry the emotional weight here, with Mimosa stepping into a more prominent role alongside Asta as they adapt to an unfamiliar partner and formidable opposition. Expect brisk action choreography with strategic layers that reward paying attention to how abilities interact. The episode leans into themes of resilience and proving oneself under pressure, delivering the kind of underdog energy Black Clover thrives on without sacrificing character moments between the clashes.
