Yuki Tabata is often praised as one of the best Shonen writers because ofBlack Clover. The series is one of the best in every field, be it the unique characters, their background stories, or the plot. Another specialty of the author is to pay attention to each and every character in the series, and in the recent chapters, even minor characters have dedicated storylines.

As expected, his cruelty knows no bounds. One good thing is that he does not discriminate between humans and elves, he hates everyone equally. He only ever sees them as playthings or the means to an end. The twist that Tabata introduced was that Zagred didn’t do everything simple because he is evil, but rather because it was a plan set in motion decades ago to help him escape the underworld.
#1 Patolli’s Deadly Insecurities
Patolli played the biggest game of pretend when he posed as Licht. Despite hating humans to his very core, he displayed compassion for his followers as Licht. In reality, he is a cold and deceiving being who only cares about revenge.
However, Tabata did not stop at just showing his blackest side. Asta intruded on Patolli’s train of thought and revealedthe insecurities and despairthat he held within himself. The villain was simply unable to accept his guilt.
