So this guy kinda, looks like this guy, and if you take his mask off he kinda looks like this guy too. Oh hey look I didn’t realise Berserk’s Casca and Farnese cameo’d in Black clover. Even Shirke made it as a Clover Kingdom captain. Wait, Is that a behelit? I mean, taking inspiration from character design is one thing, but Tabata just straight up imported, right click copied and pasted a behelit into Black Clover.

So, I guess we’re doing this. Sit back, don’t at me, and lets talk about the Berserkiness of Black Clover.

Sure these two chads are on way different levels, but considering how dark Black clover has been since the introduction of the dark triad, maybe this is the closest we’ll get to a dark fantasy berserk inspired gore-fest in weekly shounen jump. MAKE IT A BLOOD BATH.

OK before you click off the video for me making comparisons with the greatness that is berserk relative this screaming douche bag, have a look at one of the latest panels from Black Clover a couple chapters back, again drawing inspiration from Berserk.

And sure this Black Clover panel isn’t as detailed as anything Miura would fart out in his sleep, but there’s some hard hitting berserk elements seeping through.

Firstly, there are people swinging from those trees, and they aren’t all adults. Then we’ve got decapitation, we’ve got apostle like demons eating people whole, while standing over a sea of corpses.

I’ll go ahead and say it, it looks like the eclipse. Everyone’s having a good time.

And talking about the eclipse, casca’s homage in Black Clover is most obviously Sol, and Farnese is reimagined as captain Charlotte. Sure, their personalities and character bios couldn’t be more different across the two works. But the Captain-lieutenant bond and the intimate friendship Casca and Farnese have draw a ton of parallels.
Now needless to say the paneling used here recently in black clover as well as the content is literally ripped straight straight from berserk. But lets talk about this silly ol’ tree top and center. The tree of qliphoth is the end goal for the bad guys of black clover as they plan to use it as a tool to bridge the human realm with the demon world.

Wait a minute.

Black Clover’s author must have had Berserk volume 34 open on his desk when he’s drawing because this is literally the endling plot beat of the Falcon of the Millennium Empire Arc.

For those of you who may have forgotten, not fuggin likely, the skull knight turned up to slice through griffith, but instead pierced through the second demonic form of Ganishka, releasing a ton of energy and causing the great roar, aka breaking the barrier between the human world and the astral plane. Chaos ensues.

In honesty, I hope Black CLover keeps borrowing from Berkserk as the darker themes of recent offset the mermaid battle armor fanservice, and soft hugbox vibes that take away some of the weight from the combat. Like the BS revival of Julius and Yuno of late.

To close out firstly I’ll predict some of the comments below. “Wow I can’t believe you’re comparing the GOAT Berserk to trash manga Black Clover LOL”. “Are you seriously talking about Berserk and Black CLover in the same video? LMAO”. Yea yea very SUGOI. I’m right there with you stanning berserk, this is just some cool crossover I found on twitter, from this guy, and wanted to re-format and talk about.

FURTHERMORE, check out this dude’s video, an actual proper video essay with a detailed comparison between Guts and Asta and exploring themes of the two works. Lightyears more indepth than my shitpost.
