Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King summary(Contain Spoiler)
10 years ago, disgraced Wizard King Conrad Leto was stopped from destroying the Clover Kingdom with the Imperial Sword by his successor, Julius Novachrono, and the most potent magic knights.
Now on the anniversary of the Triumph, Conrad returns along with three other Wizard Kings who were cast aside for their radical ideals. Edward Avalaché, Princia Funnybunny, and Jester Garandaros join forces with Conrad to build a new kingdom from scratch.(Summary)
Asta, Yuno, and the other knights and captains fight back but are no match for the former Wizard Kings’ power. Asta, Noelle, and Finral head to Branch Zero where they are developing a sheath to nullify the power of the Imperial Sword.(Summary)
However, Conrad gets there first and destroys what they were working on. He then steals Noelle’s magic before Asta fights against him using anti-magic. Conrad is fascinated by this and asks Asta to join him but Asta refuses.
Asta learns that Conrad’s plan is to absorb a large amount of power with the Imperial Sword and then plunge into one of the many mana veins in the kingdom. Yuno arrives to help and they retreat after realizing that they cannot fight Conrad on their own.(Summary)
Julius and some of the other captains are trapped and have their power drained in Conrad’s floating stadium as Jester locates the perfect mana vein as their target.
Asta and the others camp out at a Black Bulls base that was still being constructed along with survivors from the other squads. They are soon joined by some of the other captains including Big Sister Mereleona.
Asta gives a rousing speech about how they must stand against Conrad for the survival of their kingdom and not give in so easily no matter how difficult things may seem.(Summary)
After taking back control of the main Black Bulls base, the remaining knights head toward the fortress to take on Conrad and the other kings.
When they close in on the stadium, they succeed in splitting up the Wizard Kings to buy time for Asta to deactivate the magic of Imperial Sword with his anti-magic.
Yuno takes on Jester with the help of Yami, Fuegoleon, and Nozel who are freed thanks to Yuno’s cleverness. Mereleona takes on Princia so that she can test the limits of her power. The Black Bulls squad takes on Edward with Noelle leading the charge.(Summary)
After breaking through the barrier, Asta goes straight for Conrad who tells him that he’s too late and then plunges the sword into the vein to begin the destruction of the country.

The film follows the series’ initial lore that surrounds a world of magic where exists a boy named Asta which no magical abilities. He dreams of becoming the Wizard King of the Clover Kingdom and heads out to battle Yuno, his long-time rival. However, his plans are interrupted when the ghosts of the past arrive in the form of Conrad Leto, a former Wizard King and predecessor of Julius Novachrono. He brings along the 3 most feared Wizard Kings in the history, Edward Avalaché, Princia Funnybunny and Jester Garandaros, to take over the Clover Kingdom.(Review)
Asta is met with a personal dilemma when he first met Conrad sheerly due to his beliefs being shattered in an instant. Whom he thought to be the protector of the realm turns out to be the destroyer raises multiple questions within him, and the creators have adequately showcased his conflicted emotions. He is a perfect and ideal main character of the series, which makes the audience root for him for his unyielding principles and good character. Moreover, his ability to never give up despite his shortcomings is what makes him extremely relatable.(Review)
Conrad, on the other hand, is ruthless and powerful. He possesses unfathomable abilities that no ordinary wizard can overtake him. Apart from being physically strong, his persistent and hell-bent mental fortitude is what makes him an immaculate villain. Even though he is utterly wrong, the viewers cannot help but sympathise with him and understand his perspective of the world.(Review)
Although the plot contains theories that raise a moral conundrum within, it is far from unique. The storyline is predictable and does not have enough substance to make up for a two-hour-long movie, and it could easily be cut short. Moreover, a few elements of the story seem superficial and do not offer enough viable material to hold up the various arguments.(Review)
