Black Clover‘s Asta will never live down his short guy jokes. It makes one think that Yuki Tabata created his protagonist just to make him suffer. From facing allegations of copying other Shonen heroes to complaints of being a generic character, Asta has gone through it all.
Within the world of Black Clover itself, Asta has faced so much discrimination and disdain that he has created a kind of mental barrier to any insults. But who knew that Yuki Tabata would sneak in an NSFW joke within one back-handed compliment directed at Asta?
Did Yuki Tabata sneak in an NSFW joke in Black Clover?
In one of the Black Clover episodes, Zora Ideale questions Asta on how he would make his way out of a certain ordeal. He didn’t expect Asta to be of any help with his ‘puny little brain.’ Just as Asta tries to defend himself, Mimosa suddenly interrupts to say:
The only small thing about Asta is his height.
-Mimosa (Black Clover)
The sentence was so unexpected that even Asta accepted it for a few seconds, just to be shocked once a delayed realization hit. But while the characters in Black Clover might not realize its implications, real-life fans do. And it does not seem like Mimosa is only talking about Asta’s abilities here. (iykyk)
Mimosa is a talented healer and uses her healing power to help her comrades recover. She is a powerful healer and is even capable of bringing people back from the doors of death. Thus, fans are of the opinion that this is how Mimosa learned about Asta’s other ‘not so tiny’ thing.
Asta is packing a big punch in a tiny body
One could ponder on the implications of Mimosa’s statement for hours and still not know if Yuki Tabata included the statement with the mind of a saint or not. But one thing is for sure, the Hentai-addicted mindsets of fans would never forget Mimosa’s certainty about Asta’s potential.

Nonetheless, Asta will always be the top dog in Black Clover, no matter how short he is. He has gone through years of people calling him various synonyms of shorty. And this experience has steeled him. No matter what, Asta simply does not care what insults are thrown at him anymore.
In fact, the only thing that can make him react is if any of his comrades are getting insulted or if anyone is in danger. That is when Asta pulls out his anti-magic prowess. Otherwise, he is the most thick-skinned protagonist you will ever come across.
The Black Clover manga is available to read on Viz Media and the anime is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
