Not gonna lie when I first started black clover a few years ago almost immediately dropped it because of your opening statement i saw it as a boring rip off of Naruto but after giving a second try i was soon happy that I did because this anime is GOATED not gonna lie
I’ve reread Black Clover twice, commissioned OC and Princia concept art for it, and have kept in tune from Spade all the way to now It’s such a shame that people can’t just see that it’s a unique story inspired clearly by another piece of media and not Naruto as time and time again threads to debunk it have came up. And the culprits are always the same people, spewing the same amount of crap to the same amount of people. Because many are really missing out
Goated. While many stories due follow the same tropes and clichés, and Black Clover, Bleach, and Naruto HAVE similarities, its just how fictional writing works. There’s nothing wrong acknowledging the similarities, but inspiration is not copying. It would only be copying if someone presented their work as "original" while ignoring their sources and inspirations. Tabaata has proof of his inspirations. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if Kishimito has his own props and praises to Black Clover and never calls it a rip-off. My story that my friends and I are working to one day animate take many inspirations from anime, DC/Marvel, and any interests we have. Would that be considered copying? No, because we know what we are referencing and who gets acknowledged. Black Clover just gives more vibes from Bleach and has more ground to stand on as a successor.
Funny thing is as a human you can like both Naruto and bleach. That’s me i like both. But to be candid bleach fans are always worried about Naruto fans and i rarely ever see it vice versa. Bleach fans are insufferable. This is why people are pretty much annoyed by the fan base.
I'm just praying Black Clover doesn't fumble the ending. First: MHA Second: Jujutsu Kaisen The only new gens with a decent ending to my knowledge are; Demon Slayer and Fire Force. Though I dropped it became of excessive fanservice. I finished the manga instead. Please, let my boy Asta be a wizard king, with Noelle as his queen. Not a fry cook.
Black clover and JJK were strongly influenced by bleach, but none of them capture the core of bleach to be a successor, which is the abstract, obscure and poetry like storytelling that tells the true story by Symbolism and visuals, jjk is closer to that in some point than black clover, but definitely not enough, although they are strongly influenced by it
Thanks for this. I also had this urge when i first saw black clover. Great presentation, a lot of people today don’t understand the difference between being inspired by something and being like something.
When I started watchin Black Clover, I dropped after 2 episode, couldn't stand the screaming and "obvious" similarity with Naruto. Years later on covid lockdown, gave it another shot and immediately fall in love with it. Starts slow and feels like roller coaster. On first watch, I couldn't recognize any of Bleach inspiration outside Lucius = Aizen but there's more inspiration
11:54 True that broku. Mimosa brings nothing to the table other than healing and having a big rack and that’s literally it. Compare her and orihime is like comparing heaven and hell! 13:49 Oh damn sorry man lol Also don’t forget that bleach and black clover have different mythologies that are used to creat their cosmology and worlds. For black clover it’s the use of Christianity and for bleach it’s the use of samsara. Now make a video on my black clover is NOT a spiritual successor to naruto! XD Anyway great video dude and I can’t wait for your next one!
It is Kubo said several times that Saint Seyia was his biggest inspiration for Bleach. GeGeGe no Kitaro, Bastard!! And DragonBall are other Manga he took inspiration from
@@Moya-k1l GeGeGe no Kitaro is the father of Bleach and It does actually have similarities to Dragonball if you pay attention to both series. Inuyasha and Ushiro and Tora also have similarities to Bleach doesn’t mean they don’t inspired it, I don’t understand why you guys are so obsessed with saying Yyh inspired Bleach when the creator himself never said anything about it.
you know Bleach was one of the first real anime I watched, and I still love it and Black Clover not to long after I actually found Black Clover through Jump Force of all things! And back to Bleach I found it through a mobile game my friend was playing. To think video games brough me love these pieces of fiction.
Thank you goat 🐐 those Naruto haters are so annoying and lack reading comprehension. Even Akiyra Toriyama himself was amazed by y BC and Tabata writing even seeing his what he said about BC they still hate . on BC
Black Clover easily became my second favorite anime/manga (second only to Bleach) and it's pretty easy to see how it climbed the rankings so quickly tbh
Bleach inspirations for the main 4 BC characters Asta: Ichigo, Yuno: Uryu, Yami: Isshin, Hollow Ichigo & Noelle: Rukia, Harribel and Nelial who are both Espada#3
One of the big differences is that Liebe is his own person, while Zangetsu is a fragment of Ichigo’s personality. 13:19 - That’s never been stated. It’s heavily implied that was, at bare minimum close to, Julius’s full power.
Love this video but I'm surprised you didn't mention Rill and Toshiro who are both captains and child prodigies with immense power but are too rash and often lose/fail because of their lack of composure. Rill usually because he's having fun but Toshiro mostly because he's overconfident.
Do a what if Asta was in a different magic knight brigade but for all the brigades. It would be interesting to see how exactly the story would go without the blackbulls
Those people would be right like you can easily attribute early nowadays to Sakura the boy fails test gains forbidden power inner demon that had something to do with their mother I don't even like naruto like seriously how ya'll forget kurama was in naruto's mom and just like leibe was placed again his will two things can be true at once no matter how many minor characters look alike Asia's personality and how he obsses over sister lily are just like naruto and both are about powerless people proving themselves and overcoming the stigma of them being different from everyone else the story of black clover is just an improvised naruto story and the inspiration that cane from bleach are either things you can also point to naruto for or very minor things like character designs you all fightvover who inspired that while never thinking huh these two sources are very similar both the mc's nom are from a nearly extinct race taken out by the predecessors of the mc's future allies if that's not a similarity what is like seriously both shows can be a source it just happens naruto has more going for it without bringing up minor details of a show that no cares about.so bleach fans yes bleach inspired bc and naruto also did

Except Bleach, also like Fairy Tail and 7DS. Because of magic type like Fairy Tail and 7DS. Group Naming： Black Bull = Fairy Tail, Crimson Lion = Saber Tooth, Blue Rose = Mermaid Heel Silver Eagle = Blue Pegasus, Green Mantis = Lamia Scale Races： Demon Clan = Devils, Fairy Clan = Elves, Gaint Clan = Dwarf, Goddess Clan = Guardian Angel/Paladins, Asta = Meliodas (demon power, demonic form, both have black wings) Yuno = Harlequin (both have wings form, Spade Kingdom Prince = Fairy King) Merlin = sexy outfit like Vanessa + live for a long life like Witch Queen Purgatory = Underworld, Demon King = Devil King Lucifero Four Kingdoms = Kingdoms in Fairy Tail World, Fairy Tail has Demon. Luicus leads Paladins, Zeref leads Springan 12 Zeref = Lucius Noelle = Lucy
You tripping as that is basic medieval RPG elements that been a thing since before 7Ds and Fairy Tail. Like do you know about when the Lord of The Rings debuted 😂 hilarious.
copy allegations from that fandom is sooo funny 😂 like most of the things they say black clover copied r either basic ( which you will find in any other manga/ anime ) or the panels looks similar but has nothing in common.
Id say jjk is more of a spiritual successor to bleach the way kubo and gege write themes and hidden nuances it almost feels like they are the same person
Whenever people call black clover naruto spiritual successor i look at them funny since that fits much more with mha. With bleach though i think their are way more interesting parallels you can draw from with black clover. I overall agree black clover is a great spiritual successor to bleach
Hi can you please explain black clovor novels "Black Clover: Kishidan no Sho (Light Novel)" , "Black Clover: Yuno no Sho (Light Novel)" and this manga "Black Clover Gaiden: Quartet Knights" i want to know what they are about but cant read mana and novels thankyou.
Would you say that YuYu Hakusho would be the main predecessor? it is the earliest big one that I can remember.....Togashi is really the step father if DBZ is the father. Like ....YuYu Hakusho to Bleach to Black Clover
Was Devil May Cry on the inspiration list? Because Asta with a devil arm, Virgil's dimension slash. Asta's devil union could compare that to devil trigger, and the hybrid devil theory
No bleach fan would say Black cover is a copy, Bleach was my favorite for the longest time and when I started reading black clover I was able to so the similarities right away. what I never understand is the Naruto fans calling black cover a copy cat the similarities barely there. like Asta and Naruto are the only loud mouth protagonist have they forgotten about Black Star.
That's only similarity point out not the two demons that reside inside our protagonist or the literal underdog characters or maybe the quiet black hair boys who is a rival to our protagonist and is talented in every way. 😂😂😂
To me it's more indirectly a spiritual successor of Naruto (doesn't matter if he wasn't inspired by Naruto or if he copied it), Black Clover is like Naruto but faster paced and better (story/plot wise except back stories) But aight this is just my opinion Power system and look wise is more like bleach and berserk Note: I did not watch the vid yet
By your definition It’s still a spiritual successor to Naruto. Obviously hearing Boruto fans call it a copy inspired this video. However they barely understand Naruto themselves. Not interested in Agenda wars though. Been reading Naruto AND BLEACH since 05 and I immediately gravitated to Black Clover because of its similarities to Naruto. (Side note: Also read Hungry Joker from inception to cancellation) In fact I even said at a point “Asta is how I wish Naruto turned out.” I’ve since changed my opinion but I still love Black Clover. The aesthetic is more bleach but ASTA IS NARUTO
@@Jay_SGE the issue is that spiritual successors are usually direct inspirations. And yes there are similarities to Naruto, but more similar to Bleach. As someone who read Naruto and BC back to back for the first time, I don’t see it that way
@ Yeah, I can see that. I feel the setting is more like the Naruto Village system amongst other things but Art is subjective and it’s great we can see different things and have so many great stories to read.
No, the only major similarity between them is that Asta has a similar character and goal to naruto. If you're claiming black clover takes only aesthetic inspiration from bleach, and you claim to have seen bleach, then you clearly weren't paying attention to bleach or it's been a while since you actually saw bleach. The captains are literally inspiration from the captains of bleach, Asta's power set, a ton of important characters are literal mirrors of bleach characters. Julius and Aizen, noelle and her brother literally mirror byakuya and rukia, and that's just scratching the surface. However, Asta being similar to naruto isn't anything unique in any way. Afterall, Naruto, luffy, Natsu, Goku all fit in the same shonen protagonist character build. The black bulls and other squads are more reminiscent of the 13 squads in bleach and the magic guilds in fairytail than the village in naruto. The wizard king However, feels like a hokage. Yes, black clover draws some inspiration from naruto, but not nearly enough to make it a successor to naruto. Asta has more in common character wise to Natsu from fairytail than Naruto. The only important similarities between Asta and naruto is that Asta wants to be the wizard king. And Naruto wants to be hokage. That's where it ends.
@@NEONlights-lb8um You obviously think you’re the smartest guy in the room and love to hear yourself speak. You’re not though. There are literally no similarities between Asta and Natsu, I think you’re the one who wasn’t paying attention to fairy tail. Asta isn’t even a hot head, Natsu is rude and always itching for a fight, his goal is finding his Dad. He is END it’s not an inner demon like Liebe or Kurama. If you read to understand and not argue while chomping at the bit to go “Um actually.” you’d realise I said the aesthetic is MORE bleach doesn’t mean that’s the only similarity. Half of Bleach takes place in the real world. Which Black clover has no equivalent. The Village system in Naruto and the kingdoms system in Black Clover are more similar than anything in Bleach and Naruto. Down to the Kings & Feudal lords and Wizard king and Hokage. Ichigo doesn’t have a main Genius rival with a powerful family background like Yuno or Sasuke. You can take inspiration from more than one thing. You should learn to read to understand and not read to argue before telling me. “I wasn’t paying attention.” That’s a very immature self indulgent take. When this could’ve been a discussion.
@@NEONlights-lb8um give some credit to Tabata and stop making it look as if he’s not original . 100% Julius is a character of his own with no similarity to aizen same as Noelle and rukia( take out the relationship wit their brother) and Noelle is a complete different character to rukia in fact better written than rukia. Character designs and personality the inspiration is clearly from bleach but tabata writes his characters as his own
im kinda confused on the eye thing from black clover can someone inform me naruto is the only anime and manga that uses tomoe in the eyes that i know of so how do we say he took nothing from naruto when he legit has tomoe in the eyes (i could be very wrong here and there could be other anime or manga that uses it but ive seen non so idk)
Black Clover's ability is called Tengentsu. In Asian mythology/history there is a fortune-telling ability called Tengenjutsu that uses the Matagama, which is the actual symbol used in Ryu's eye. Tomoe and Matagama are different symbols. The land of the sun arc is heavily inspired by the ancient Japanese story Yamata no Orochi where the Matagama jewel is founded.
@@joshuaanderson7027 Well,Kishimoto himself admitted that Sharingan was inspired by Kurta Clan's Crimson Eyes(HxH).It's just Sharingan became more iconic. Actually Kishimoto and Togashi are friends and respects each other.
Dont compare the princess, the goddess orihime inoue for mimosa... i want noel for asta....BUT orihime x ichigos was ALWAYS planned since the season 1 "agent of the shinngami " Sorry i can't let slide broku.😂😂
I'm tired of the big three fandoms thinking their three anime inspired everything in jjk a large majority of the blesch similarities can be said about other series and those similarities are very minor and existed as trends long befire the big three
Black clover is bleach with Narutos personality and concepts especially power system wise But the author made the power system gave bleachs spontaneous power mechanic so when you say asspull or nobody dies after being wholed or Op healer thats from bleach
@darkidthedemon hahaha that's Tabata has stated also that naruto was a huge inspiration you see this directly in in Astas personality creators put pieces of themselves in their art but that's not the full process
@darkidthedemon he has so did jujutsu kaisen author He literally has entire arcs characters that are one to one references Mars and Gaara for example Panels and the war arc in Naruto spade kingdom arc both Authors focus on massive trees like huh
a Common broku W, in my opinion the most obvious similarity between bleach and black clover that doesn't revolve around the story or characters is that both works are superior to their peers in their respective times in many ways but gets downplayed for not being as commercially successful despite being peak fiction
All the different languages that exist and you decided to speak BASED
Chad and Aizen approves of this message
😂😂😂😂
More similarities between BC and Bleach would be -
1) Hugely misunderstood by many people.
2) Underrated and under appreciated among its peers.
3) Both didn't do the best economically among its peers (even though sales =\= quality).
4)Both are animated by Studio Pierrot.
5) Both of their original anime got done dirty by the studio.
6) Both of their anime went on an indefinite hiatus when they were too close to the manga.
7) Both anime went on a hiatus right before the start of a very anticipated arc.
Hopefully, BC too makes a generational comeback like Bleach did with the TYBW anime 🤞
Black Clover anime even got a mad glow up in the arc before they had their hiatus like Bleach.
Bleach and black clover were the first shonen anime I watched. I have no regrets
Good shit. 😎
Sword art online is the first anime i ever watched i think or attack on titan.
Black Clover, Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood and Attack on Titan were my first proper gateways into anime my end.

Whenever people call black clover naruto spiritual successor i look at them funny since that fits much more with mha.
With bleach though i think their are way more interesting parallels you can draw from with black clover.
I overall agree black clover is a great spiritual successor to bleach
Yo Broku , I have a video idea that I think you might be interested in
dude said mid is spiritual successor to peak
Hi can you please explain black clovor novels "Black Clover: Kishidan no Sho (Light Novel)" , "Black Clover: Yuno no Sho (Light Novel)" and this manga "Black Clover Gaiden: Quartet Knights" i want to know what they are about but cant read mana and novels thankyou.
I think black clover is missing ost, bleach has one of my favorite anime ost behind death note.
Does the free premium count even if you already have it I ain’t trying to pay for 2 months yk
Would you say that YuYu Hakusho would be the main predecessor? it is the earliest big one that I can remember.....Togashi is really the step father if DBZ is the father.
Like ....YuYu Hakusho to Bleach to Black Clover
never mind you touched on this haha, great stuff
@@kingsiretheogI would say Saint Seiya is predecessor to Bleach.Kubo also noted Gegege no Kitarou,but I didn't watch it yet,so Idk
Both bleach and bc are peak fiction
I will never say that Tabata copied anyone, but the mouth breathers that do, are gonna have a field day with this video.
Sucks man.
HOLY PEAK 🗻
Was Devil May Cry on the inspiration list?
Because Asta with a devil arm, Virgil's dimension slash.
Asta's devil union could compare that to devil trigger, and the hybrid devil theory
I've heard a lot of people mention the similarities. Tabata does occasionally game. Not sure if he has mentioned DMC though.
No bleach fan would say Black cover is a copy, Bleach was my favorite for the longest time and when I started reading black clover I was able to so the similarities right away. what I never understand is the Naruto fans calling black cover a copy cat the similarities barely there. like Asta and Naruto are the only loud mouth protagonist have they forgotten about Black Star.
That's only similarity point out not the two demons that reside inside our protagonist or the literal underdog characters or maybe the quiet black hair boys who is a rival to our protagonist and is talented in every way. 😂😂😂
To me it's more indirectly a spiritual successor of Naruto (doesn't matter if he wasn't inspired by Naruto or if he copied it), Black Clover is like Naruto but faster paced and better (story/plot wise except back stories)
But aight this is just my opinion
Power system and look wise is more like bleach and berserk
Note: I did not watch the vid yet
By your definition It’s still a spiritual successor to Naruto.
Obviously hearing Boruto fans call it a copy inspired this video.
However they barely understand Naruto themselves. Not interested in Agenda wars though. Been reading Naruto AND BLEACH since 05 and I immediately gravitated to Black Clover because of its similarities to Naruto.
(Side note: Also read Hungry Joker from inception to cancellation)
In fact I even said at a point “Asta is how I wish Naruto turned out.” I’ve since changed my opinion but I still love Black Clover.
The aesthetic is more bleach but ASTA IS NARUTO
@@Jay_SGE the issue is that spiritual successors are usually direct inspirations. And yes there are similarities to Naruto, but more similar to Bleach. As someone who read Naruto and BC back to back for the first time, I don’t see it that way
@ Yeah, I can see that. I feel the setting is more like the Naruto Village system amongst other things but Art is subjective and it’s great we can see different things and have so many great stories to read.
No, the only major similarity between them is that Asta has a similar character and goal to naruto.
If you're claiming black clover takes only aesthetic inspiration from bleach, and you claim to have seen bleach, then you clearly weren't paying attention to bleach or it's been a while since you actually saw bleach. The captains are literally inspiration from the captains of bleach, Asta's power set, a ton of important characters are literal mirrors of bleach characters. Julius and Aizen, noelle and her brother literally mirror byakuya and rukia, and that's just scratching the surface.
However, Asta being similar to naruto isn't anything unique in any way. Afterall, Naruto, luffy, Natsu, Goku all fit in the same shonen protagonist character build. The black bulls and other squads are more reminiscent of the 13 squads in bleach and the magic guilds in fairytail than the village in naruto. The wizard king However, feels like a hokage.
Yes, black clover draws some inspiration from naruto, but not nearly enough to make it a successor to naruto.
Asta has more in common character wise to Natsu from fairytail than Naruto. The only important similarities between Asta and naruto is that Asta wants to be the wizard king. And Naruto wants to be hokage. That's where it ends.
@@NEONlights-lb8um You obviously think you’re the smartest guy in the room and love to hear yourself speak. You’re not though.
There are literally no similarities between Asta and Natsu, I think you’re the one who wasn’t paying attention to fairy tail.
Asta isn’t even a hot head, Natsu is rude and always itching for a fight, his goal is finding his Dad. He is END it’s not an inner demon like Liebe or Kurama.
If you read to understand and not argue while chomping at the bit to go “Um actually.” you’d realise I said the aesthetic is MORE bleach doesn’t mean that’s the only similarity.
Half of Bleach takes place in the real world. Which Black clover has no equivalent. The Village system in Naruto and the kingdoms system in Black Clover are more similar than anything in Bleach and Naruto. Down to the Kings & Feudal lords and Wizard king and Hokage.
Ichigo doesn’t have a main Genius rival with a powerful family background like Yuno or Sasuke. You can take inspiration from more than one thing. You should learn to read to understand and not read to argue before telling me. “I wasn’t paying attention.” That’s a very immature self indulgent take. When this could’ve been a discussion.
@@NEONlights-lb8um give some credit to Tabata and stop making it look as if he’s not original . 100% Julius is a character of his own with no similarity to aizen same as Noelle and rukia( take out the relationship wit their brother) and Noelle is a complete different character to rukia in fact better written than rukia. Character designs and personality the inspiration is clearly from bleach but tabata writes his characters as his own
im kinda confused on the eye thing from black clover can someone inform me naruto is the only anime and manga that uses tomoe in the eyes that i know of so how do we say he took nothing from naruto when he legit has tomoe in the eyes (i could be very wrong here and there could be other anime or manga that uses it but ive seen non so idk)
Black Clover's ability is called Tengentsu. In Asian mythology/history there is a fortune-telling ability called Tengenjutsu that uses the Matagama, which is the actual symbol used in Ryu's eye. Tomoe and Matagama are different symbols.
The land of the sun arc is heavily inspired by the ancient Japanese story Yamata no Orochi where the Matagama jewel is founded.
@@Br0ku oh ok
@@joshuaanderson7027
Well,Kishimoto himself admitted that Sharingan was inspired by Kurta Clan's Crimson Eyes(HxH).It's just Sharingan became more iconic.
Actually Kishimoto and Togashi are friends and respects each other.
@@Bleachman-m4f it is but very different in concept and design
i 100% agree
Oh hell yeah
Aren’t we getting a chapter this month?
im glad people enjoy black clover because personally i think its absolutely trash. but its nice to see everyone enjoy an anime like I enjoyed bleach
Dont compare the princess, the goddess orihime inoue for mimosa... i want noel for asta....BUT orihime x ichigos was ALWAYS planned since the season 1 "agent of the shinngami "
Sorry i can't let slide broku.😂😂
Crazy how many similarities BC has to Bleach, and people will try to convince you that it all came from Naruto lmao
Another W vid
Black clover fixed some of Naruto‘s flaws too.
I'm tired of the big three fandoms thinking their three anime inspired everything in jjk a large majority of the blesch similarities can be said about other series and those similarities are very minor and existed as trends long befire the big three
Because it's a fact...lol
Bro is coping
Cry
JJK is a HxH malformed being mixed with Bleach. Bad
Odin vs black clover whennn lol
9:40 I kinda disagree with this, I see Yami as more Kisuke Urahara although I can see why there’s a comparison with Ishin
@@Magenta.000 I can see Kisuke too
@ it’s possible Tabatha was going for a mix
Black clover is bleach with Narutos personality and concepts especially power system wise
But the author made the power system gave bleachs spontaneous power mechanic so when you say asspull or nobody dies after being wholed or Op healer thats from bleach
Tabata said Asta based off him and charmy is based off his wife
@darkidthedemon hahaha that's Tabata has stated also that naruto was a huge inspiration you see this directly in in Astas personality creators put pieces of themselves in their art but that's not the full process
@@orpheemulemo8053 Tabata hasn't stated anything about Naruto being inspiration from BC nor his characters
@darkidthedemon he has so did jujutsu kaisen author
He literally has entire arcs characters that are one to one references
Mars and Gaara for example
Panels and the war arc in Naruto spade kingdom arc both Authors focus on massive trees like huh
NEW VID
@@isaiah5942 let’s go!
Rukia & Noelle are not the same in characterization..
@@zigzagto644 didn’t say they were the same. Said they had similarities lol
Noelle’s characterization is a mix between Ruikia and Riruka
💯💯💯 fax
Awesome breakdown! I've been trying to tell numbskulls for years bc is inspired by bleach
Bleach Clover
