Yet another rival duo with Fugeleon and Nozel. I hope it contrasts and parallels the Asta/Yuno relationship as well.. like they did with William and Yami. We've also only seen Fugeleon for a few scenes wayy back, and yet he still makes an impact on the story!

Upcoming episodes are gonna be fire. The setup is done so well, each of Licht's 'third eyes' are getting knocked out one by one. Raia seems like the toughest one yet though!

It doesn't feel like there's any real development up until the end, where things actually happen. The pacing is a little off, but the funny moments in between everything feel so free and easy, they're entertaining at times.

Episode Context

The Royal Knights finally go on the offensive. Episode 88 shifts Black Clover into full assault mode as the newly assembled squad launches their raid on the Eye of the Midnight Sun's base of operations. Expect rapid pacing, team-based combat formations, and an atmosphere thick with tension from the opening minutes. Mereoleona commands the charge with her signature ferocity, while Asta and Noelle step into roles that demand everything they've trained for. The episode leans hard into themes of camaraderie under pressure and the weight of a mission where failure isn't an option. This is a setup-heavy action episode, the kind that establishes the battlefield and positions key players before the real chaos erupts. If the Royal Knights selection arc felt like preparation, this is the payoff beginning to land.
