When you think of a Shonen protagonist, you perceive a tall, well-built, and powerful teenager with the responsibility to save the world on their shoulders. But there are several heroes who break this stereotype, and one of them isBlack Clover‘s Asta.

Asta has the typical lofty goals and extreme dedication to saving the world; he is also built like a tank. But the character is 155 cm in height, making him just a bit over 5 feet tall. And this tiny transgression from the norm has made every Chad on the Internet mad.

Black Clover‘s Asta is Mercilessly Trolled for Being Short

Asta’s short height is a running gag in theBlack Cloverfandom, but anyone hardly means anything bad by it. He is often called a short king owing to his superior powers despite being short. However, not everyone has welcomed his short stature with the same joviality as mostBlack Cloverfans.

AReddit posthas also pointed out the cruelty with which these people post abusive comments about Asta on social media platforms like X. Asta’s body shape is often considered badly proportioned, but fans have still welcomed him and his bubbly personality. But when trolls on the internet make fun of Asta’s height, they overlook the hellish journey he has been through.

Take Notes, Yuki Tabata: Black Clover Fans Have Spoken on Who Asta Should End up With

Just because Asta is a fictional character who cannot be hurt doesn’t mean it’s right to make fun of him simply because of his height. What he lacks in the height department, he more than makes up for it in strength and loyalty. Being the hero ofBlack Clover, he has overcome too many difficulties to be made fun of for his physical characteristics.

Don’t Make the Mistake of Overlooking Asta’s Achievements

Asta is generally an extremely cheerful and hyperactive character, but deep inside, he feels an urgent sense of responsibility to protect everyone around him. InBlack Clover, Asta is often faced with ridicule from others, which he has learned to receive gracefully over the years. Instead of being agitated, he faces the cruel insults and defends himself.

He has also gained immunity from such insults and brushes them off. In a way, the insults thrown at Asta on social media reflect all the abusive things the character has had to face on a daily basis in the series.

Asta does not have magic; he has Anti-Magic, which nullifies magic. Asta has extremecontrol over his Anti-Magic powerand does not rely on it alone. He is an expert swordsman who has enhanced his strength, speed, and durability via intense practice, and by facing demons and villains more powerful than him.

Over the span of hundreds of chapters, Asta has proved his worth as a warrior and has fought powerful beings like Liebe, Zagred, Licht, Nacht, Lucifero, Lilith, and Nahamah. In every battle,Asta is commendedfor his determination to win, and his height has never stopped him from destroying his powerful opponents.
