Because what I got out of it was Wizard King helped Asta get out of it with his shenanigans, but not that he set up the trial in the first place. I was thinking the same thing up until justice boy's little speech to the Wizard King during the ep as well before the ending so I need to re-watch too. Edited June 21, 2020 by DangerMouse

He did this knowing that he would order a trial. Then he had the two Nobel magic knight captains which were the only captains that the court would hear out deliver the pardon. This also allowed him to place a kill switch onto Asta while WK is in a weakened state, as it's not just Asta that would bend knee or die but the whole squad as they wouldn't do anything that would cause Asta's death should WK ever need to exercise his authority and keep them in line. It's some game of thrones flower garden bullshit going on. Not to mention, shouldn't the Wizard King know he doesn't need a kill switch on Asta by this point?

He's weakened and they're at war. As well Asta has a devil inside of him as does Nero that could in theory take over their bodies. 1

It's some game of thrones flower garden bullshit going on. I somehow did not catch that at all. I don't think it's a kill switch. It's just a tracker. Eeehh, I got some vibes early on that there was something off about the Wizard King and that maybe he could be evil but after a while I became fully convinced he's a nice guy who is just kind of quirky and a magic geek. It's not a way to exercise authority. Wizard King came up with what he could to get Asta out of trouble. I never watched or read Game of Thrones.

Asta maybe, but Nero doesn't have a devil inside her does she? She just got the horns from using the forbidden magic.

GoT on HBO just kept reusing a flower garden as set dressing to shoot scenes of characters plotting, and with all the double crosses it just became a joke among the fanbase. Southpark even made fun of it. 2
OwlChemist81 Posted June 21, 2020 Author Posted June 21, 2020 Interesting. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-122/.156595 There's the review, but the reviewer forgot to give it a score. Community score of 4.4 though. Next review will come after Episode 125, which is as far as the dub has gotten.
