“ | I'm going to be the Wizard King! This is something I'll never give up on! | „ |
~ Asta |
“ | Maybe you weren't chosen, maybe no one wanted you, and maybe you can't be forgiven, but you still have to stand your ground without making excuses for yourself! | „ |
~ Asta to Patry |
“ | You people are special... and we got stronger... and made it this far... so we could protect everyone with you. So we could compete and help each other improve! So we could fight together! | „ |
~ Asta to Langris |
“ | In the beginning... I approached you in order to use you. A magicless boy who'd just happened to acquire a five-leaf grimoire that kept magic away. But as I spent all that time with you... As I watched you fight... I began wanting to believe in you. I started to want to bet on you. Please! Win this, Asta! | „ |
~ Secré's plea for Asta to defeat Zagred |
“ | 'Wasting your time'...? That's my line. I dunno how many of you there are, but I'll be the one to insta-kill you, so... All of you, bring it on. Right now!! | „ |
“ | Sacrificing citizens for the sake of the country? What kind of prosperity is that?! If you want a fight that badly... Then I'll crush you all!!! | „ |

“ | Yeah... I knew that!! I just couldn't give up!! I do know that people can't always change the way they feel though. So... please watch over this unchanged vow of mine!! I will... become the Wizard King!!! | „ |
~ Asta proposing to Sister Lily for the last time |
“ | WHO THE HECK ARE YOU CALLING A FLAW, YOU JERK?!! In other words, you're a bad guy who's hijacked the Wizard King's body!!! Destroy all humans...? Don't be ridiculous!! The Wizard King put his life on the line to save everybody!! That's the Wizard King I looked up to!! Everyone did!! And also, there's no way he'd die that easy so I'm gonna stop you and save him!!! | „ |
~ Asta to Lucius Zogratis |
“ | I... don’t have talent. But that’s why I must get stronger. Work hard to make it happen. Do more than the geniuses who already have what it takes. Since I don’t have talent, I don’t have time to hesitate. I’ve got no time to be afraid. Just get stronger. So I can win. So I can protect. So I can save. If you lose to somebody, get stronger than that guy. Then never lose to them again. Keep on getting stronger. That’s the kind of Wizard King you want to be. Be determined to become... the strongest. | „ |
~ Asta's Determination to become the strongest |
Summary[]
Asta was left an orphanage as an infant on the outskirts of the Clover Kingdom alongside another baby named Yuno. Excitable and outgoing, he dreams of becoming the Wizard King, the greatest mage in the kingdom. However, Asta is one of the rare few, if not the only one to be born without the ability to use magic. However, he refused to let this stop him, continuously training his body to compensate before finally being awarded with a grimoire of his own while getting Yuno out of a bind. Since then, he has joined the Black Bull Squad, a group of the most rowdy and outrageous Magic Knights in the entire kingdom, using the power of his ominous Anti-Magic swords to defend those he cares about and strive towards his dream.
After the Timeskip, Asta is able to fly on Demon-Slayer by making it levitate with Anti-Magic.

With those swords, he can easily cut through any magic spell with incredible ease regardless of the shape or even the attribute of the spell, he can also nullify magical teleportation by stabbing the sword into the teleporter's general vicinity. They can even nullify Langris' attacks which can erase out of space anything in a certain path.

- Reactive Power Level: (During his battle against Vetto, Asta was able to intercept and deflect Vetto's Forbidden Magic beam despite being completely overpowered by a more suppressed Vetto moments before. Adapted in a short period of time to Magna's fire balls, where each fire ball becomes invisible halfway through and randomly teleport around the target right before hitting them. Went from not being able to track a single throw even with ki sensing to being able to deflect a barrage of them for several minutes, thus without moving much and while protecting the crystal behind him)
- Resistance to Information Analysis and Precognition: (Assimilated Kiato's swordsmanship whose movements were able to throw Asta's sharp senses off and rendered Asta unable to read his ki)

Stamina: Extremely high, can still remain conscious after being sliced open from shoulder to hip with a diamond projectile with significant blood loss, fought an army of zombies without getting tired for several hours, and jumped through a wall of flames without flinching or receiving any damage.
Range: Extended melee range with swords, at least several dozen meters with Anti-Magic, several kilometers in Devil Union, several thousands of kilometers with Zetten
Standard Equipment:
- Grimoire: Asta wields a five-leaf clover grimoire, which he receives during his fight with Revchi. The grimoire is tattered and covered in dirt, a black five-leaf clover insignia at the center of its front cover. Assume that the grimoire possesses unusual magic but is otherwise ordinary. Asta is able to summon a sword from it, which he uses for his Anti Magic. His grimoire used to be a four-leaf clover grimoire that belonged to Licht.
- Demon-Slayer: Asta's first and primary sword. It is the larger and heavier of the three swords, dealing massive blunt damage with each swing and being a better shield overall. However, its heft means that it is slower than the Demon-Dweller and Demon-Destroyer, making it less suitable for parrying and reflecting high-speed attacks. After the Timeskip, Asta gained the ability to fly on Demon-Slayer and call it back by saying it's name.
- Demon-Dweller: His second anti-magic weapon, which he discovered towards the end of his fight with Mars. A thinner and more ornate weapon, Asta can swing it much faster than the Demon Slayer Sword, allowing him to defend against attacks too fast for him to block with the Demon Slayer Sword. As a trade-off, it lacks some of the heft of the Demon Slayer sword, resulting in weaker blows. After the Timeskip, Asta gained the ability to summon Demon-Dweller by saying it's name, and create several Anti-Magic slashes by filling the sword with the former and by swinging it.
- Demon-Destroyer: Asta's third sword, Can cut spells with its edges, much like his other two swords. It can also absorb and remove the effects of spells and can negate Reincarnation Magic.
- Average: Asta is a teen that was given minimum education due to living in the boondocks at the edge of the kingdom for most of his life and is thus fairly ignorant and book dumb.
- Genius in combat:
At the very early stage of his training with Fanzell, Asta managed to defeat the Diamond Kingdom's Special Assassination unit led by Mariella, one of the greatest soldiers of her Kingdom and Fanzell's third best student in battle. After receiving advices from experienced Magic Knight Captains such as Yami Sukehiro and Fuegoleon Vermillion, he has become much calmer and level-headed in combat, focusing on the task at hand and maintaining his composure while under pressure and make quick and effective decisions that turns the outcome of the battle to his advantage, such as during his fight against Valtos where he let go of his sword despite being attacked from every directions and rushed at him at the first opportunity. Since then, more than 3 years have passed and Asta has been participating in countless battles with his life and the lives of his friends at stake, and kept getting better during each one of them.
- Swordsmanship: Asta has been trained by none other than Fanzell Kruger, an ex commander of the Diamond Kingdom, a kingdom focused around science and the military, and instructor of many now famous soldiers within the Diamond Kingdom, which includes Mariella of the Assassination Unit and Mars and Ladros, two of the new Eight Shining generals. His Swordsmanship skills also allows him to deflect several dozen of projectiles coming at close range and from every directions, thus while protecting someone. During his battle against Valtos, Asta even managed to deflect just as many projectiles while doing flips and other sorts of acrobatics. Asta's skills grows better each day as he constantly trains and surpasses his limits against more experienced opponents, he managed to accurately mimic Kiato fighting style, who is very proficient in swordsmanship, combining his sword skills with his dance moves, a fighting style that has been acknowledged by Yami. Kiato's skills allows him to deflect the energy output of the opponent's attack, and therefore take the least amount of damage possible from opponents such as Vetto, that are strong enough to one-shot him. While fighting, he's movements are unpredictable to the point that Precognition and sharp senses are unable to keep up with his movements and actually ends up having their own senses thrown off.
- Ki: Ki is the blank term for all natural energy the body releases, it includes one's scent, breathing, muscle movement, glare, emotions and even their very presence. Asta learned how to sense ki with Yami and current can even manipulate his own ki to use it offensively with Zetten. Zetten is a complex technique that requires years of practice to use it, and much more to use it whenever the user wants. Zetten users increase their amount of ki by many tens of times up to a hundred times and condense it within the striking point and erupt it all at once the very moment they land the strike. Zetten is often used to burst into the opponent before they properly react, to break the opponent's guard, to parry and deflect a powerful strike or even use it as a finishing blow when the user is sure to connect.
Asta is known for his creativity, making use of his sword in such ways that makes him unique and sometimes, like a proficient user of a totally different type of weapon, which renders his actions unpredictable. In the Witches' Forest Arc, Asta couldn't hit Ladros who flew dozens of meters above the ground. As deflecting his attacks was helpless, he decided to let himself get hit by those attacks to create a smokescreen around him and then throw one of his heavy swords akin to a javelin to stab him very close to the heart while he was still up in the air, making him fall to the ground in a critical condition.
- Fast learner: Asta is a fast learner and takes any sort of advice to become better, even implicit ones. During his battle against Patry, Asta learned the ability to sense Ki in his first attempt, even surprising Yami, and mastered it right after. When Licht used his Ultimate Magic on Zagred, he glanced at Asta’s sword. Asta immediately picks up on that and comes to the conclusion that his sword has its secret power as well. After a bit of trouble, he learns its swords technique "Black Divider" which would be the key factor to permanently defeat Zagred. In the recent events of the series, Asta was able to use Zetten upon his first attempt after only seeing it once, Zetten being a Ki manipulation technique that skilled Yojutsu users cannot manage to do once even with years of proper training.
Weaknesses: Reckless with little regard for his own safety, but this has lessened somewhat over the course of the story. Asta is exceptionally naive at times and is rather merciful. He can swing the Demon-Dweller Sword faster, but can't hit as hard with it and vice versa. Anti-Magic is less effective against amorphous magic such as Fog, Smoke, and Sand Magic as they can simply flow back into position. The magic projectile function of the Demon-Dweller Sword requires time to charge and the actual type of projectile fired cannot be controlled by Asta. His Anti-Magic can be completely bypassed if the opponent lacks a component for him to swing at entirely (i.e. Blood Magic or Red Thread of Fate). He can only enter his Black Asta state three times a day and doing so places an incredible strain on his muscles and bones. | Devil Union lasts 5 minutes | Partial Devil Union lasts 10 minutes
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Anti-Magic: The magic inherent in Asta's Grimoire, It has the unique ability to nullify other magical attacks through its mediums, the Demon Slayer Sword and the Demon Dwelling Sword. Both swords are able to cleave through virtually any kind of material magic with their edges while most other magic simply bounces off the sides.
- Bull Thurst: After being flung through the air, the user points both the Demon Slayer Sword and Demon Dweller Sword in front of themselves. Any spells or magic lifeforms that are in front of Asta are dispelled after coming in contact with the swords. Asta is also incapable of changing direction without the help of a Spatial Magic users.
- Mirrors Slash: After Asta has been multiplied with Mirrors Brigade, the Demon Dweller Sword absorb an ally's magic and, with a swing, release the magic in a flurry of flying slashes, which can nullify magic.
- Demon-Dweller Sword: Black Slash: While holding the Demon-Dweller Sword, Asta fills the sword with Anti Magic, swings it, and releases the energy as a flying slash which cuts through magic and carries enough force to knock an opponent back into a wall or up through a ceiling. The slash does not appear to cut the opponent, but can knock them unconscious. Asta could swing the sword in rapid succession to create a flurry of slashes for targeting multiple opponents.
Black Asta: After being healed by the Witch Queen and nearly being defeated by Ladros, Asta unlocked the ability to channel the Anti-Magic properties of his swords through his body, greatly increasing his strength and speed while clearing his mind of all doubts and extraneous thoughts and improving his focus and clarity of mind.
- Black Meteorite: After activating his Black Asta form, Asta lunges at his opponent, homing in on his target's mana signature while the shroud of Anti-Magic around him nullifies oncoming magical attacks, dealing a powerful slash to the target once he is in range.
- Black Hurricane: With Anti-Magic flowing from the Demon Slayer Sword, Asta steps forward and spins around rapidly, engulfing his surroundings with arcs of Anti-Magic that nullify any magical spells or constructs they come into contact with. This ability is able to deactivate an entire field of magical traps of various kinds in an instant.
- Demon-Slayer Sword: Black Divider While coated in Anti Magic and wielding the Demon-Slayer Sword, Asta pushes the Anti Magic to the edges of the blade, increasing its size and extending its reach.
Ki: During the Blind Date Arc, Asta is able to read the natural energy given off by human beings to predict their next attacks, granting him a pseudo-sixth sense for danger and enhancing his reaction speed.
