Ep 27. Light

With a tumultuous journey so far, Asta, who has been working to hone his skills and make up for his lack of magical abilities, has now come to understand himself better. While faith in his abilities and the persistent support of his teammates often lead the way, there have been instances when he has stumbled. In the 27th episode of Black Clover, named Light, Asta continues his quest to explore his capabilities further.

The episode starts with Asta waking up feeling rejuvenated after his battle with Vetto in the previous episode. His teammates inform him about the situation in the nearby town, where the members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun have demanded a magical stone. The town's citizens are in grave danger, and the Black Bulls are called upon to protect them. Asta and his team waste no time and set out to save the town.

On the way, Asta asks his mentor, the Wizard King Julius Novachrono, to allow him to train under him. However, Julius tells him that he cannot train Asta due to his current workload. In the meantime, the Black Bulls arrive at the town and are greeted by a group of bandits, who are demanding that the magical stone be handed over to them. The bandits showcase their magical prowess by using their powers to block any attacks and also steal the stone in the process.

Asta, who is eager to test his newly developed skills, attacks the bandits but finds that his sword cannot cut through the defense spells. However, his teammates help him by attacking the bandits from different angles, which creates an opening for Asta. He manages to strike the stone with his sword and destroys the shield that was protecting it.

The Eye of the Midnight Sun members, who were keeping a close eye on the town, decide to invade it immediately after the Black Bulls take control of the stone. The Midnight Sun members are a powerful group of mages with a sinister agenda, and they arrive in numbers to claim the stone. Needless to say, the Black Bulls have to face a tough battle ahead.

As the battle ensues, Asta watches his teammates fight and tries to understand how they use their magical abilities. However, he still struggles to grasp the complexity of their skills. During the fight, Gauche Adlai, one of Asta's teammates, finds himself in a tough spot and discovers that he cannot use his magic due to the strong magic-dispelling effects in the area. However, he finds a way to overcome this problem by using his mirrors and outmaneuvers his opponents.

Meanwhile, Asta notices the arrival of an old man who seems to have powerful magic. The old man explains that he is a member of the Clover Kingdom's Magic Parliament and has been sent to investigate the conflict. The old man observes the ongoing battle and praises the Black Bulls for their teamwork and courage. This gives Asta a sense of confidence, and he decides to draw upon his newfound understanding of teamwork as a means to fight.

The intense battle eventually comes to an end with the Black Bulls victorious. The wizard king arrives and commends the Black Bulls for their efforts, and he also acknowledges Asta's potential and newfound sense of teamwork. The episode ends with Asta determined to train harder and unlock his true potential.

In conclusion, Black Clover season 1 episode 27, named Light, is another action-packed episode that shows Asta continuing to grow as a fighter and as a person. His experiences in the battle serve to aid his growth in his magical abilities, and he becomes more understanding of the teamwork required to win. The episode also introduces an interesting character in the form of the old man from the Magic Parliament, which could lead to exciting plot developments in future episodes.
