The events we are about to describe happened during Asta’s battle against Ladros in the Withces’ forest Arc of Black Clover, more specifically, in Episode 63 of the anime series, titled “It’s Nothing”. This was the first time that Asta actually transformed into a demon in the story and this is how it went down. In battle, Ladros wonders how many blasts Asta’s body can withstand. Asta suddenly raises his head up and a black substance wraps around his arm while also withering the grass around him. In Asta’s subconscious, Asta wonders if he died and starts complaining when someone calls him. Asta looks around and sees a large black mass, which greets Asta. Asta is in complete disarray and asks who he is, which the mass comments about the greeting and that he is the closest to Asta and than anyone else. Asta says that he has nothing to do with the mass, which the mass replies that it doesn’t matter as he now has a body to possess to enter the physical realm. The mass makes it to Asta, but Asta dodges it and asks what he is talking about. The dough just tells Asta that he can take care of everything and win against Ladros, and Asta grabs the dough’s arm and says that he will win with his own strength. The dough tells Asta to just trust his conscience as a shrimp-like Asta has no chance of winning. Asta tells the mass not to underestimate him as he can just go upstairs and meet him face to face. After the Witch Queen uses her blood magic to remove the limits of Asta’s Anti-Magic, Asta learns to channel the energy through his body and attain a form where the Anti-Magic passes through and covers part of his body. from his body. This form is drawn by strong magic and increases her strength and speed while clearing her mind of doubts and extraneous thoughts and improving her focus and mental clarity, as well as granting her the ability to fly. To activate this form, Asta must stand still and focus on circulating energy, which leaves him open to attack. Additionally, the physical exhaustion of using this form limits Asta’s use to only twice a day, though he can push for a third time. Asta is also able to enter a berserker mode when his emotions are altered causing the anti-magic in his body to go out of control and begin to manifest less stability in body, he also covers his right leg and together with his arm gives it a shape. clawed covers most of his face with anti-magic and grows a third horn, in this state asta is unable to reason and speak normally.
After Asta and Liebe train with Gimodelo, they manage to master the demonic assimilation, however, due to their exhaustion, the transformation only lasts five minutes. In this state, Asta’s hair turns completely black, he grows four horns, and his face is covered with some sharp black lines: one that crosses his eye from his cheek and two thinner ones that come from his head to the main line. His forehead is covered with a kind of Anti-Magic band with a pointed red line with other smaller ones crossing it. Also, his body is covered with a type of armor with different marks similar to the one on his forehead, marked on the part of his legs, and also on some shoulder pads. There are also some thinner pointed lines on the part of his thighs from the sides to the center, behind the arms, and on the abdomen. In the center of his chest there is a type of eight-pointed star that covers most of it with a similar and smaller symbol in the center of it, but with five points instead, which will turn into circles for each minute that passes and when all these become in circles, their assimilation is disabled. He also grows two wings and a tail with a clover-shaped tip. He also possesses a total of six Anti-Magic orbs expelling lightning bolts on his back. This form greatly increases Asta’s strength to the point that he could easily cut Naamah’s body even after it merges with Lilith, being this a real physical body and not a body of magic like the Majin, also his speed and the ability of his Anti-Magic to such an extent that he can nullify the magic of an entire area.
The Demon inside Astas’s Grimoire is none other than Liebe. Liebe is also a source of Asta’s anti-magic abilities and harbors a strong hatred toward other devils. But where did that hatred come from & How did he end up inside a grimoire? The hatred goes way way back to Liebe’s birth. Since he was a low-ranking demon born without any magic whatsoever higher- ranking demons made a hobby of torturing him. That lack of magic would ultimately save him since he was able to pass through the gates and join the world of the living. From there, he was adopted by Richita and was relatively happy until Lucifero found out that Liebe resides among the humans. He attempted to kill him, but Richita managed to capture Liebe inside the five-leaf clover grimoire to save him from Lucifero. Asta swore that day, that he will annihilate demons. From his hatred, a new power was born, Anti-magic.
