I'm back everyone!
Staria
"How long do a Holy Sword wielder take to fully recover from using a Wonder Combo?" Leopold asked as he glance towards Asta who resting on a make-shift bed.
Currently, the Magic Knights are resting within a building that is used as storage, which is the best thing that they can find from an inn, once they return to the village and told the villagers who believe them since they saw the lights that came from their battle.
"For the first time, a few hours. But through some training, they can withstand using the Wonder Combo just like with the other forms." Tetsuo explained, making Leopold gain a smile on his face.
"That's good to hear, I don't want my rival getting tired all ever time he uses his Crimson Dragon form." Leopold said, making Tetsuo sweat-drop.
"I'm pretty sure that your just excited that Asta's volume 3 form has the same shade of red in it's title like your Magic Knight squad." Tetsuo thought before sighing slightly.
"So how many can use a Wonder Combo?" Leopold asked, becoming curious.
"At the moment, just Asta and Rintaro. The next would be Donna." Tetsuo responded, making Leopold blink his eyes.
"Asta's older sister?" Leopold asked, making the wielder of Suzume to nod his head.
"Do you have the Wonder-Ride books needed for Asta's sister to transform into her volume 3 form?" Leopold asked, causing Tetsuo to frown slightly.
"I believe so, though I'm not sure if its at our Headquarters though…" Tetsuo responded, tilting his head to the side slightly.
This cause Leopold to blink his eyes and was about to ask another question, but was prevented just as Asta mumbled something.
Whilst Leopold couldn't hear it, Tetsuo's sharp hearing allowed him to hear what Asta mumbled, making his eyes widened in shock.
"What's wrong?! What did Asta said?" Leopold asked, becoming slightly worried.
However, Tetsuo shook his head.
"Its nothing that you should be concerned with. You better rest yourself." Tetsuo responded, causing Leopold to become confuse before glancing to the ash-white hair teen.
"Where….I'm I?" Asta muttered in confusion as he glanced around. Currently, the ash-white hair teen found himself in a field of some sorts where the grass seems larger than normal grass.
Glancing upwards, Asta saw the sky of Wonder World with it's floating islands.
"How did I got myself into Wonder World?" Asta thought confusedly before sensing a presence behind him.
Asta turned around and became shock when he saw a younger version of himself sitting against a tree with "Wonder Story" in his hands.
"Is this….a memory of some sorts?" Asta muttered to himself as he looked down at his younger self.
"Is this caused by me using the Wonder Combo?" The ash-white hair teen thought, starting to feel slightly excited.
"…..Never knew that I was that interested into books." Asta thought, becoming slightly perplexed.
Donna told Asta that he read "Wonder Story" along with her and Luna, but next expected to become fully emersed into the book when by himself, seeing himself as an outdoors person rather than spending his time inside.
It was at that moment that a rustling sound started to be heard from the tall grass, causing the younger version of Asta to look up whilst the older Asta became tense, although knowing that he can't interact in anyway.
After a few seconds, someone came bursting out of the grass and grabbed the younger Asta, picking him off the ground.
"Gotcha! My little hatchling!" Saber exclaimed in a female voice whilst in her Crimson Dragon form.
Instead of looking frighten, the younger Asta started to giggle.
"That's the previous Saber!" Asta thought in a shock tone of voice, recognizing the voice from his only memory of the past, up until just now that is.
"So she possess the Crimson Dragon form as well." Asta thought whilst becoming curious as to why she didn't used that form during their last(?) encounter.
The previous Saber started to tickle the younger Asta, making him giggle even more.
"S-stop!" The younger Asta exclaimed whilst having a smile on his face.
"Nope." The previous Saber responded before making her armor disappear.
The older Asta's eyes widened in shock when he saw that the person underneath the armor is a young looking female…..with the same colour of hair and eyes as him?!
"Who-!" Asta began to thought before suddenly pain shot through his head and everything turned to black.
Asta suddenly woke up in his make-shift bed and sat up breathing heavily.
As the ash-white hair teen took deep breaths, memories started to appeared in his head and tears started to fall down his checks.
However, despite the tears, a small smile appeared on his face.
"Okay. Can someone please tell me what's going on with Bakasta?" Noelle asked as she and everyone else basically spied on Asta within Liberation.
Whilst that isn't new, its the fact that there is a smile off fondness on Asta's face whilst swinging Rekka.
Currently, its the next day after the mission where Asta unlocked his Volume 3 form and when he and Tetsuo got back and gave their report, the ash-white hair teen went straight to Liberation.
"Did something happened during the mission?" Charlotte, who is visiting the Sword Of Logos Headquarters with Sora, asked whilst glancing towards Tetsuo with a slight frown on her face.
"Well…...when Asta fell unconscious after using his Wonder Combo, he muttered something which is shocking." Tetsuo responded….whilst avoiding eye-contact.
"Why are you still avoiding eye-contact? You've returned to the battlefield as Kamen Rider Slash, grow up!" Charlotte exclaimed in her head whilst becoming curious.
"What was the word that Asta muttered?" Sophia asked, she and everyone else becoming curious as well….along with becoming worried.
"….." Tetsuo became silent whilst gaining an uncomfortable expression on his face.
Noelle sighed before making-up her mind and started to make her way towards Asta.
"Noelle! I think you shouldn't do that!" Rintaro said in a loud whisper.
However, the silver hair girl simply ignored him.
"Hey, Asta!" Noelle called, causing Asta and Nero, who has been observing the ash-white hair teen's training to look up, whilst Ryo quickly close the doors of Liberation to avoid him and the others being seen, but left it open slightly to still hear.
"Oh! Hi Noelle, is there something you want?" Asta asked once Noelle got closer to him.
"What has happened to you? You've been acting different ever since you and Mr Daishinji came back from your mission. Don't get the wrong idea! I've just noticed a change in your behavior!" Noelle explained, saying the last part in slight haughty manner.
"Really? Do you have to act like that right now?" Everyone else thought at the same time, sweat-dropping slightly.
Asta blinked his eyes for a few seconds before scratching the back of his head.
"Sorry, but I've just been thinking stuff." Asta responded, causing Noelle to frown slightly.
"Please stop beating around the bush and say it, Bakasta." The silver hair girl said in a slight annoyed tone of voice whilst crossing her arms.
"I think you mean Bakasta Staria." Asta said, his smile widening.
The mention of "Staria" caused Sophia, Ryo, Charlotte and Donna to widen their eyes in shock, a small smile appearing on Tetsuo's face whilst the rest became curious.
Whilst Nero raised an eyebrow, Noelle gained a slight angry expression on her face.
"How dare you tried and correct a royal…..Wait, what?" Noelle said, becoming confuse at the end as she fully realize what Asta said.
"That's my last name, "Staria"." Asta responded, making Noelle blink her eyes before they widened.
"You regained your lost memories!?" Noelle asked in a shock tone of voice.
"Unfortunately, the rest seemed to be fuzzy." Asta responded, gaining a slight sad look in his eyes.
"….Did this happened after you used your volume 3 form?" Noelle asked, becoming curious.
"Yes." Asta responded, nodding his head.
However, Noelle gained a confuse expression on her face.
"Why did you regained some of your memories when you used your Volume 3 form?" The silver hair girl asked, becoming confuse.
"Its probably because the name of the previous Saber is Richita Staria." Asta responded, making Noelle blinker her eyes, trying to come up with a response.
"…..Is the previous Saber…..your mother….?" Noelle asked in a slow tone of voice.
"Yup! My mum wielded Rekka before me." Asta responded whilst glancing down at the sword of flames whilst holding it in both hands.
"That's good news. But what about your father? Have you gained any memories of him?" Noelle asked, becoming curious.
However, Asta shook his head in response.
"I'm afraid not. Like I said, the rest is fuzzy." Asta explained, causing a frown to appear on Noelle's face.
"How come only memories of Asta's mother just returned. I understand since she's tied to Rekka, but Asta should have memories of his father as well. Unless…." Noelle thought, gaining a slight bad feeling at the end as she trailed off.
"Well, I'm going to train some more." Asta said, snapping Noelle out of her thoughts.
"Really?" Noelle asked, causing Asta to nod his head.
"Yup. I started to feel closer to Mum." Asta said, glancing at Rekka again.
"Can….can I join you?" Noelle asked, causing a surprise expression to appear on Asta's face.
"Really?" The ash-white hair teen asked, causing the silver hair girl to nod her head.
"Yes, I want to keep up with my own training." Noelle said as she took out Argent-Couronne from her Grimoire.
"…..For some reason, I have the feeling that you going to train with me regardless of my answer." Asta commented with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Hmph, you quick to figure that out. You should be glad that someone from royalty has decided to train with you." Noelle responded whilst flicking one of pigtails over her shoulders.
Asta stared at Noelle for a few seconds before starting to laugh.
"W-what are you laughing at?" Noelle asked, sounding slightly shock.
"Haha. It doesn't matter what the occasion, you always find a moment to go into your royalty-mode." Asta explained, a smile being present on his face.
However, Noelle has a slight "dark" expression on her face.
"Are you making fun of royalty?" Noelle asked in a "dark" tone of voice.
"N-no!" Asta responded quickly, realizing the situation he found himself in.
"Well then, prepare yourself." Noelle said as she got into a position with Argent-Couronne in hand.
"I'm sorr-Ack!" Asta attempted to apologize, but was cut off as Noelle lunged towards him whilst thrusting the sword of steel forwards.
"Should we stop Noelle before she hurts Asta?" Fiona asked as she and the others watched Asta defend himself against an "enraged" Noelle.
"Nah. They will be okay." Ryo responded, making everyone sweat-drop.
Once Noelle finished chasing Asta around Liberation, Fiona prepared a small celebration meal.
"Hey, Asta! How strong was your mum when she was the previous Saber?" Rin asked, becoming curious whilst leaning towards the ash-white hair teen.
"H-how should I know? Yes, I watch Mum train with Rekka by herself, but I never saw her in actual combat, I was young back then." Asta responded, backing away from the wielder of Hayate.
This cause a sad expression to appear on Rin's face.
"If you want to know, Richita held the rank of Senior Magic Knight class 3." Sophia explained, causing Rin's eyes to widen.
"Really?! She was that strong?!" Rin asked, causing the captain of the Sword Of Logos to nod her head.
"Then how did Mum died during that battle ten years ago? I know that she risked her life to protect me, but how did Mum actually go killed?" Asta thought, becoming curious whilst glancing towards Donna who has a slight far away expression on her face.
"Big Sis? Are you okay?" Asta asked, nudging the wielder of Ikazuchi slightly.
"Y-yes! I'm fine. Just...thinking about Aunt Richita." Donna responded, making Asta blink his eyes slightly.
"I guess you would, she was the best person in the world." Asta said as she scratch the back of his head.
"Yeah." Donna said, a smile appearing on her face.
"Agreed. She was a skilled swords-woman as well." Ryo added whilst lifting his drink.
At some distance away, Noelle has an unsure expression on her face.
"Is everything alright, Noelle?" A voice asked, causing Noelle to turn her head to see Fiona.
"I'm fine. There's nothing wrong." Noelle responded, attempting to sound reassuring.
However, the maid of the Sword Of Logos frowned slightly.
"Is this conversation causing you to think about your own mother?" Fiona asked, causing Noelle to freeze slightly.
"…..Maybe a little….." Noelle responded in a low tone of voice, but Fiona managed to hear her, causing her to gain a slight sympathetic expression on her face.
"Makes sense. But your aren't the only one that has lost family." Fiona pointed out, causing Noelle to nod her head slightly.
It was at that moment that a grin started to appear on Fiona's face.
"You know, "Noelle Staria" does has a nice ring to it." Fiona commented, causing Noelle to widen her eyes whist quickly turning her head towards the maid of the Sword Of Logos.
"W-what are you i-implying?!" Noelle stuttered slightly, trying to keep her voice as low as possible.
"Well. Now that we know Asta's surname, you two can…..?" Fiona began to respond but stop when she notice the water in Noelle's cup started to shake, something that she's doing without her hands.
"Hehe. I leave the rest your imagination." Fiona said, a sheepish expression on her face.
"Yes, I will….." Noelle said in a slight "dark" tone of voice.
"Asta, did Richita ever told you about the first time that I met her?" Charlotte asked, causing Asta to frown slightly.
"Yes, it was the same time that you met Mr Ogami during a mission, right?" Asta said, causing Charlotte to nod her head.
Flash Back (Start)
"That's it. All the thorns are gone." The previous Saber thought as she glanced around, attempting to spot any remaining thorns that have mysteriously appeared in the town.
A smile appeared underneath her face as Saber saw that she successfully burn all the vines.
"Er…..Thank you very much, Magic Knight." A voice said, causing Saber to turn around and saw an elderly man.
"Hehehe. You're welcome." Saber responded whilst scratching the back of her head.
"Is everyone else okay though?" Saber asked, dropping her arm just as her tone turned into a slightly serious one.
"I believe so, but I'm more worried about the Roselei family. It looks like that the vines originated from their home." The elderly man explained, causing a frown to appear underneath Saber's helmet.
"That's were Buster went. I hope that he's okay…." Saber thought, becoming slightly worried.
It was then that footsteps can be heard, causing the both of their to turn around and saw Buster carrying a younger Charlotte, behind the two are two wealthy-looking people who Saber presumed are Charlotte's parents.
"Buster! You're okay. Whose the girl in your arms?" Saber asked, glancing down at Chatlotte.
"This is Charlotte Roselei, she was trapped in a pile of thorns at her home." Buster explained whilst Charlotte gained a slight nervous expression on her face.
The identity of the woman caused Saber to gain a shock expression on her face, whilst becoming confused at the expression on Charlotte's face.
"And why are you carrying her." Saber asked whilst looking back up at the swordsman of the earth.
"I'm taking her to the hospital in case she's injured in anyway." Buster explained, causing the swords-woman of flames to nod her head.
It was then that I thought appeared in her head.
"You look like you're a newly wed leaving the church." Saber commented, causing surprise expressions to appear on Charlotte's parents faces whilst Buster chuckled slightly.
"Hehehe. I guess we do." The swordsman of the earth commented with a smile underneath his helmet.
"Don't say that, your fool!" A blushing Charlotte exclaimed before punching Buster.
However, due to Buster's helmet, it was mainly Charlotte who got hurt.
"Owch." Charlotte muttered as she held her sore hand.
"Maybe punching someone who is wearing a helmet isn't the best idea." Saber commented, a small smile appearing underneath her helmet.
"You're the one started it!" Charlotte exclaimed in annoyance, making Saber giggle slightly.
Flash Back (End)
"Not one of the best first encounters in history, but it was something." Charlotte said in a blank tone of voice.
"So Mrs Staria says what every is in her head then?" Rintaro asked, becoming curious.
"Unfortunately yes. But she also possess a strong will as well." Charlotte responded, making the swordsman of water to nod his head slightly.
"She's bad at keeping Rekka safe. Every return from a mission sees the sword of flames covered in scratches." Tetsuo commented with a slight annoyed expression on his face.
"I guess that's why you seemed to be edgy when examining Rekka the first time I arrived at the Sword Of Logos." Asta thought, gaining a slight frown on his face.
He wasn't the only one who has a frown on his face as Sophia gained a frown on her own face, along with a slight sad expression in her eyes just a thought appeared in her head.
Its late in the evening and Asta is outside, sitting in the same spot on the day that he was told that his arms couldn't get healed, with Rekka in his hands whilst Nero sat on his shoulders and Brave Dragon out of it's Wonder-Ride book, laying on the ground.
"Heh. I've been wielding Rekka for a long time now, never knowing that there is a deeper meaning engraved within the sword." Asta commented with a faint smile on his face.
Flashback (Start)
A younger Asta and Richita are sitting on some rocks, staring at the evening sky of Wonder World.
"Mum! When I become older, I'll become a great sword-wielder like you!" The younger Asta said with a wide smile on his face
"Hehehe. Then you better trained hard then, my little hatchling." Richita responded, making the smile on Asta's face widen slightly.
Flashback (End)
"I'm going to keep on training, never stopping until I'll reach my goal of becoming the Wizard King, Mum." Asta said softly before suddenly hugging Rekka.
"So, Asta has managed to regain some of his lost memories." Tassel commented as he observe the current events of the Clover Kingdom's branch of the Sword Of Logos through a screen that seemingly originated from a book.
After a few seconds, Tassel closed the book, making the holographic screen disappear.
"Hmmm. I wonder how this will impact his growth?" Tassel wondered as he stood from the chair that he was sitting on and walked over to a window, revealing the skies of Wonder World.
And there we have it, Asta regained some of his missing memories, revealing that the previous Kamen Rider Saber is his mum, Richita. For those who have seen the pilot chapter of Black Clover, Asta has the surname of "Staria". However, this isn't his canon surname, if Mr Tabata even reveals anything about Asta's dad that is, since Yuno has a different surname in the pilot chapter than in canon. Coincidently, Noelle did asked Asta if he remember anything of his dad. This chapter also shows a small flashback of Richita and Ryo meeting Charlotte for the first time. Tassel also makes his reappearance.
Whilst we're on the subject, I've came up with a theory about Asta's birth. If Lucius's primary magic does revolves around the soul, the it could be a possibility that Lucius created the soul that would become Asta, in a similar manner to how he created the persona of "Julius Novachrono", and placed it within Richita so that Asta can properly be born. As to why Lucius did this is because through "his" time magic, Lucius foresaw the exitance of anti-magic and sees it as a perfect asset for him to collect the two remaining ruling Devil hearts, but required a person that doesn't possess Mana to be able to wield anti-magic effectively, so used Richita's curse(?) to his advantage, using it to drain Asta of his Mana. Even though Richita has stated that her curse(?) only works when a person is standing close to her, she never stated if spells would get absorbed into her when they get close to her as well, since she died when Lucifero used Liebe's arm to kill Richita. This would have been a factor that Lucius had to consider when he started his plan of creating the perfect vessel for anti-magic.
However, there could be a possibility that Astaroth is still alive in a sense, his consciousness being within his heart, like how Zagred was capable of speaking through his heart, and decided to mess with Lucius's plan by somehow making sure that Asta possess a large amount of Mana along with ability to wield time magic. This would lead to everyone believing that Asta is Julius's secret child that he placed in the Forsaken Realm in order to protect Asta. Everyone would believe this because Julius does leave the capital at times, so they think that the Wizard King started a secret relationship with someone at least from the Common Realm. Julius will have a difficult time denying these claims whilst Asta will likely strengthen the rumors of being the Julius's secret child since he was raised in an orphanage...which just so happens to be close to the Demon skull that the first Wizard King slain.
I can imagine Yami laughing his head off at the fact that he'd managed to recruit Julius's "son" in his squad, making the others annoyed. Whilst Nozel will be the most annoyed, he would be secretly planning on making Asta loyal to the house of Silva through Noelle, yet will likely need Dorothy's help will getting Asta and Noelle together. I wonder if Dante, Vanica and Zenon knew that Lucius was disguising himself as Julius. This would make the second part of the theory more funny. Imagine a scene where the Dark Triad receive a report about the revealment of Julius's secret child from one of their spies, already knowing that Julius is their older brother in disguise. I don't know what sort of reaction Dante and Zenon will have, most likely being shock, but Vanica will be thrilled at the thought of being an aunt whilst Megicula will be interested in "studying" Asta since he has inherited a Devil's magic yet was "born" from a Devil host.
So in Revice, they gained their final forms, Ultimate Revi and Ultimate Vice, and I like the designs and coloring, simply set shows that they are a powerful form. However, I guess that one issue I have with the final forms is the name "Ultimate" because Kuuga's final form is called "Ultimate" as well. But then again, the Giffard Vistamp(s) is designed by George, the Kamen Rider fanatic and like I guessed, the Vistamp was created through the Giff genes that the Igarashi family possessed with Genta donating his for the completion of the Vistamp. Revi and Vice completely destroyed an army of Giff Juniors, Giftarians and Hell Giftarian using their final form's raw power and the ability to create multiple clones of themselves. Their final forms is even powerful enough to block an attack from Giff himself. So Hiromi makes his return, something that Lovekov seemed happy about, and attempted to talk to Daiji who is slowly walking a dark path ever since Akemi's death.
I discovered that information about the Revice movie has been revealed, the Rider siblings, as of right now, are preparing to rescue victims of a airliner kidnapping from a dangerous militant group within a forbidden area known as Area 666. Straight of the bat, we have the first trivia of the film, the numbers of 666 is known as the number of the beast in demonology.
So the name for the fourth Reiwa era Kamen Rider has been revealed, Kamen Rider Geats. The name "Geats" refers to a a large north Germanic tribe that originated from Sweden, also known as "Goths". Based on this, it can be assumed that one of the themes, or at least the main theme, of the next Kamen Rider series will be on Norse mythology.
Please review and until next time.
Itspowertime:
1) It won't be the Royal Knight selection exam just yet.
2) I'm not sure about Tetsuo's backstory as of right now.
3) That's the last thing everyone needs! The new members of the Sword Of Logos being under the influence of "Bremen No Rockband"
4) I can see Nacht taking an interest in the Wonder-Ride book whilst his Devils will be equipping themselves with musical instruments.
Dragon Rider 66:
1) Sorry about that, but at least this chapter answer some questions about the identity of the previous Saber.
2) Indeed, Daiji is certainly making some dark decisions and it is a shame with Tamaki's missed his chance of becoming a Kamen Rider himself, hopefully he will get his chance with using a purified version of the "Wolf" Vistamp and a modified Two Sidriver.
3) The most likely candidate will be Asta.
4) Indeed, Tamaki using the "Wolf" Vistamp for his transformation would make more sense and using pieces of Valcun's armor...I guess that George will be one to create purified "Wolf" Vistamp.
5) Probably "examining" the Holy Swords behind his back.
6) That would something that Slash would ride, especially under the influence of "Bremen No Rock Band".
7) Vail should act soon now that Revice have gained their final forms.
8) I bet that Nacht will be interested in if he could somehow control Saikou's shadow through his magic.
9)...Yeah, Hideo certainly took the chance of making the Riders feel hopeless more and more.
10) The others would likely have to tie Tetsuo up in case he decides to make a run for it when they're not looking.
11) Yeah, it mostly likely already chaotic without Rin's "help".
12:
(a) Thanks for suggesting anyway.
(b) Asta and Sol will be laughing their heads off whilst Klaus will be sighing deeply.
Raidentensho:...There certainly are people who liked the idea of Mimosa becoming a Kamen Rider, huh.
