Naruto and Black Clover's Asta with Liebe and Kurama
Quick Links Summary Black Clover is a successful and long-running shonen series, but despite its accolades, Yuki Tabata's work inevitably attracts criticism for the many similarities to other famous shonen predecessors, especially Naruto. However, after diving into the series to prepare for the unannounced Black Clover fifth season, I fail to see the problem.
Given its position as a shonen battle series, it's prone to comparisons with others in this popular genre, especially as many of those, including Black Clover and Naruto, are the best-selling stories in the medium. Still, the similarities don't end there; plenty of other comparisons can be made if you look hard enough. Yami teaching Asta about ki in chapter #48 smacks of Asuma teaching Naruto about wind release techniques in the Akatsuki Suppression Mission Arc. Naruto begins the series as hopelessly incompetent, while Asta is seemingly devoid of magic in a society where magic is everything.
Without going too far into detail, these components, combined with a gimmick sure to appeal to mass audiences , ensure longevity and popularity. Luffy from One Piece's desire to be the King of the Pirates is a classic example. This is part of a common trend alluded to in other popular series, where manga authors are pushed to create manga that are big sellers, and not letting a popular manga come to an end.
Black Clover resembling Naruto is a consequence of the latter helping consolidate the success of the shonen formula, and it'll only get more frequent as more series are introduced, with anime and manga becoming more mainstream. To say Black Clover is derivative is to fail to see the forest for the trees, as these comparisons are easy between shonen series. Black Clover's narrative execution and distinctive, detailed art can be seen as appealing to Naruto fans, not a pale imitation.
