Black Clover Page 81 Discussion Last time on Black Clover, we learned more about the past of Finral and Langris. Langris was the prodigal son and much preferred by the parents, for what a high achiever he was, where Finral was largely rejected and insulted by his parents. But, other people saw Finral for being a good person, and how awful Langris was. Langris arguably took things tougher than Finral, which we didn't know before. Perhaps there is some insecurity being projected behind that smugness. When it came time to battle, the Black Bulls were psyched up with the hope that Finral had a good change to win, and he even broke out some new moves, but Langris had some new moves of his own, which were too much for Finral to counter. Unfortunately, Langris took things too far, and seriously wounded Finral. But before he could take it any further, the Black Bulls rushed to Finral's defense, stopping Langris in his tracks. How do we pick up from this cliffhanger from hell?! Find out tonight, on Black Clover, on Toonami!

https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/20190725-OYT1T50298/ Here is the original notice of the upcoming edits. Going off the Google translation, which is very rough, the edits will start with episode 4 going onward. The color of the fire will change. I wonder if that's for the whole rest of the series. And will there be an uncut version Funimation and Toonami would have to, and possibly for home release? And when they get to episodes not yet made, will they be edited from the start with no uncut version existing at all? https://sciencing.com/colors-fire-hot-8631323.html Maybe someone who speaks Japanese can get a better idea of what is said in that announcement, but as far as I can tell it does not say what color the flames will be. Not sure why ANN or someone else hasn't translated and reported on it. As for the guess of purple, it looks like that color never happens in nature. If I recall, the fire was green in Sleeping Beauty was green because it was magic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored_fire https://www.mathsone.com/blog-details/blog/109-Flame-Colors-and-Temperatures https://www.sciencecompany.com/Creating-Flame-Colors.aspx https://melscience.com/US-en/articles/colored-flame-experiment/ However, there is a form of pyrotechnics called colored fire where many colors, inducing violet or purple can be created. I've never heard of this before, but given different chemicals used to make various colors of fireworks, it makes sense that something like this would exist. The fire in Fire Force is also of a supernatural nature so presumably all kinds of colors might be possible. And, upon doing one of my searches, it turns out - But altering any of the fire colors in any way could lead to confusion and issues with lore when characters or groups may be introduced that have specific colors of fire for specific reasons. Not really sure what could be done about this though. And this gives me flashbacks of 4kids. I'm also not sure if just changing the color of fire would make it more palatable to those directly affected by the studio fire or fans that would that would have a tougher time watching the series than others. I would presume they would just avoid the series entirely. This seems like a lose lose situation no matter how you slice it. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how everything turns out. Anyway, I'm not going to look into this further for now because I'm leaving at noon tomorrow. We're having a family get together at a riverside house this weekend. I'll likely miss the live premiere of Fire Force and the finale of Attack on Titan. It sucks but not much I can do about it as that's just how the timing worked out. If I can't watch anything Saturday night the block will definitely be the first thing I watch when I get back.

There's only one episode left after this?! We're already almost done?! Jeez, these seasons go by too fast.

I had read the High School of the Dead manga went on hiatus after the 2011 earthquake, because the author didn't feel it was an appropriate time for an apocalyptic story while Japan was still going through that. Looks like he also had a heart condition as well, and eventually died of it in 2017. So the hiatus wasn't just because of the earthquake. I didn't know about that. https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/7292/is-highschool-of-the-dead-on-hiatus-again https://comicbook.com/anime/2018/12/15/highschool-of-the-dead-artist-author-death/ I hope the Fire Force anime doesn't get cancelled outright. But what do you think will happen with the manga? Has there been anything said about that?

I thought that they announced it before the fire happened. Doubling up Titan means one would have to be a rerun. Yeah not sure what they can do here. We'll just have to wait and see.

That's what it's about?! I thought they were just regular firefighters. Yeesh... I dunno.

How the hell did you get that from what I wrote? Do they seem remotely similar to you? Soul Eater and Fire Force have the same author as has been said many times already.

Yup lmao. In the movie at least. Frank Welker plays him in the seasons after the movie, but uses a different voice than his Megatron voice for him.

It did look like something else than what she's using now, didn't it?

I agree with you, but I still really enjoy this show for what it is. What you describe is how magic using characters would traditionally work. But yeah, a lot of anime seem to go for the one affinity thing. In Fairy Tail people have to actually learn the magic, so I suppose they focus on whatever they're best at and take to and train up those skills. It would take a lot more time and training to master multiple disciplines. In the rare case when someone can use more than one type, it's a big deal. With Black Clover it seems people are just born with a certain power that fits them. We've seen it's genetic in some cases too. Finral and his brother use spatial magic, but in different ways, the Silvas use water or liquid of some kind (Nozel's is mercury, oddly,) Mimosa and Kirsch both use plant-based magic, that other family uses fire, etc. In Naruto there were definitely some bullshit asspull retcons. Sasuke uses fire but then is also able to use lightning. Sarutobi uses like 3 or 4 different elements. Rasengan was originally described as just manipulating chakra and had nothing to do with wind element. Kakashi can copy and use tons of jutsus regardless of element, with his Sharingan. If chakra natures were always intended to be a thing then they would have been brought up early on. So of course it's just said that some people can have multiple natures and Sasuke happens to have fire and lightning, because of course he does. Hokage can have multiple because he's hax Hokage I guess. Kakashi can use all those jutsus because of Sharingan loophole I guess. It was never explained. By the way, when the last time someone even used Sharingan to copy anything? I feel like that aspect was forgotten about. There's also many characters whose powers don't clearly line up to any element. Bugs, shadows, changing body mass?? Yep, chakra natures were definitely a retcon, and should never have been put into the story in the first place.

Oh and what the fuck is up with Orca's freaky eyes?

So it is a bullshit retcon lol.

Plus there's already an invisible girl lol.

I know. But Endeavor isn't even trying to put up appearances in public. It's one thing to be a scumbag in private, but he doesn't even seem to care about his public perception. He wants to be better than All Might but that will never happen no matter how many villains he beats and people he rescues, and no matter how strong he gets, if that's how he's going to act. The suits even said as much. The people loved All Might.

Tsu can camoflauge now? Is she a frog or a chameleon? Lmao the epicness is over because the last 3 HUC members got rescued. Orca saying he might have lost though...

They combined quirks just like I said!

I don't remember this guy from back then at all.

Right, but you'd think he'd want to be nice to citizens or at least put up a front if he wants to be recognized as a great hero.

2 dumbasses and Deku has to clean up their mess. You know fire and wind combined could be really powerful...

Jeez I didn't know Endeavor was THAT big of an asshole.

Number 2 hero is no replacement. DAYUM.

NOT A FUCKING HARO!

Mobile worker? Wouldn't worker imply non-combat role?

That fat bald guy with the sunglasses looks like Krang's Body.

Uhh isn't everyone an astronaut now?
