Pretty sure Asta was able to use the magic-borrowing sword at any time.  Or is this a different sword?

That was like a Naruto shadow clone moment. :D

Be his friend?  Come the fuck on, Asta!

No not the nun!

It's the Eye of the Midnight Sun leader!

okay his obsession with Marie will never not be horrible no matter how much backstory they show us

I get what the author was going for.  Gauche was supposed to be a joke parody of sis-con characters.  But he went overboard with it.  It's a fine line to tow.  Miroku, for example, comes off as charming and funny, and not creepy somehow.  But in this case it doesn't work.  So even going as far to develop Gauche to explain his behavior doesn't salvage him completely.

there's honestly times I wonder if this series is actually a covert parody of Shonen Manga clichee's that didn't go quite far enough to make it obvious that it was meant as a lampoon of shonen Manga

like they meant this series as a joke at the expense of series like Fairy Tail and Naruto, but didn't go hard parody enough

It honestly feels that way to me a lot of the time.

Asta is this loud, hyper, annoying kid who is obsessed with becoming the Wizard King.  Even the other characters are highly annoyed by him.  He's the typical oblivious and clueless shonen protagonist, but to the ridiculous point he has vowed to marry a fucking nun, but doesn't notice multiple, available women taking a liking to him.  In this episode, Asta said he would be friends with the snow guy after he realized what an awful person he was being, and got done doing some soul searching.  Like literally minutes before this the guy was torturing children.  Not even Naruto or Luffy would be that forgiving.

Noelle is a tsundere to such a cartoonish degree that she argues with herself, not just out loud, but in inner monologue, and was threatened that a six year old said she wanted to marry Asta!  I mean, come on!

Asta now has multiple excitable people declaring themselves his rival.

The rest of the Black Bulls are mostly 1-dimensional joke characters, but I have to give credit for them developing Gauche into an actual person, and even having him grow and decide to help others besides his sister and act some semblance of normal.  Maybe he won't do the nose bleed thing anymore and we can chalk up the way he was early on as the author not quite ironing his character out yet, and going too far with a joke to the point of creepiness.

I mean, stuff like what I mentioned definitely comes off as parody, but Black Clover has honest stuff about it too, so I don't know, maybe it is a parody, and like you said, didn't go far enough to make it obvious.  Of course, just because it's a parody doesn't mean it can't have genuine story and character development, adventures, etc. but you know what I mean.

I just realized Asta has the same color palate AND Powers as Haru Glory from Groove adventure Rave

Hey you're right!  Asta has multiple swords with different powers, but not the same powers Haru's swords had.  Also Asta's hair is blonde, not silver.

^ that's Blonde

 

 

I previously compared Asta's design to Shino and Atoli's Designs from .hack//G.U

in that they're literally the same character design but one is blonde and wears bright sunshiny colors and the other is silver haired and a goth

I would call it blonde, maybe a sandy blonde, or the gold equivalent to silver anime hair.  But we know it's not supposed to be silver because the Silvas are the silver-headed people and Asta's hair doesn't look like theirs at all.  According to the wiki his hair is "ash blonde."
