With the Black Clover manga coming to an end after more than a decade of serialization, there is a certain melancholy among fans as they will no longer be able to see their beloved hero Asta in action. As the protagonist of the series, he is one of the focal points of the story.
Asta's joyful personality is infectious and one can't help but smile whenever she is on screen. Since Asta's story has ended, many fans will want to watch more anime to fill the void. Naturally, they will want to choose an anime whose the main character is as good as Black Clover's Asta.
7 Black Clover Characters Who Deserved Better Endings
Even after Black Clover ends, some characters feel like they didn't get proper closure.
8
Naruto Uzumaki
If there's any character that comes closest to Asta in terms of personality, it's Naruto Uzumaki, the main representative of Naruto. In fact, many fans strongly believe that Tabata was heavily inspired by Naruto, which is why the author modeled Asta after the main character.
Naruto is a kind and caring individual who firmly believes that love and friendship can overcome all kinds of adversity. Naruto also knows when to stop talking and start punching his enemies.

Monkey D. Luffy
Monkey D. Luffy is the protagonist of One Piece. He is often mistaken for simple-minded, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Luffy has a strong moral compass and therefore never tolerates a tyrant oppressing their subjects.
Luffy is also an extremely powerful character who is armed with some absurdly powerful powers that allow him to take down the worst villains. While Luffy's abilities are very different from Asta's, his zeal will remind Black Clover fans of their beloved protagonist. They both get excited over the smallest and sometimes the silliest things.
Anime: The Strongest Ki Manipulation Techniques
The power to manipulate Ki is one that is seen in many anime series. However, these abilities are undoubtedly the most powerful.
6
Midoriya Izuku
Midoriya Izuku won the hearts of millions of people around the world with his innocence and compassion. At the beginning of the story, Midoriya was nothing more than a boy who dreamed of becoming something great, but he didn't have a Quirk.
But that didn't stop Midoriya. Like Asta, Midoriya is not someone whose spirit is deterred by any obstacle. He keeps going no matter what.
5
Itadori Yuji
Itadori Yuji is the main character of Jujutsu Kaisen. Unlike most shonen protagonists, he was drawn into the world of Jujutsu wizardry by sheer luck. He was able to adapt to cursed energy and curses in a very short time, which impressed his classmates and teachers.
Despite becoming powerful so quickly, Itadori remained grounded and helped those in need. Even after suffering countless tragedies, Itadori remained steadfast and never let his experiences dictate his life.

Sakata Gintoki
Sakata Gintoki not only has a reason to be the best shonen protagonist, but also the best protagonist across all genres. Funny, smart, strong and mature, he ticks all the boxes needed for great leadership.
Who is that character?

Gintoki's best quality is how easily he can go from being a complete fool to being the most rational person in the room. Throughout the series, he helped people overcome their personal demons. His methods may not be orthodox, but they are certainly effective.

Jolyn
-
Anime: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Jolyne is often overlooked in character debates because she is not a typical shonen protagonist. She's sassy and makes a lot of mistakes, but she doesn't rely on her friends all the time. Jolyne is also able to gauge an opponent's strengths and come up with a counter in minutes.
Even in the worst situations, Jolyne stands her ground and gets her hands dirty if necessary. Jolyne is also fearless and ready to put her body on the line.

Onizuka

Anime: Great Teacher Onizuka
Onizuka is an iconic character that was part of many fans' childhoods. He established himself as a fan favorite with his humor and wit. At first, Onizuka decided to become a teacher purely for his own selfish reasons, but over time he realized that he could do more good.
Onizuka helped his students overcome difficult situations, which in turn allowed them to move up in life. Even though Onizuka doesn't have any great abilities like Asta, it can't be denied that they are equal in terms of quality.
1
Gon Freecs
Gon Freecs is the face of Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter x Hunter. He is adventurous and ready to explore any place, no matter how dangerous. Gon's sense of adventure is contagious and those who travel with him can't help but enjoy it.
In addition to his personality, Gon is also a phenomenal fighter. He managed to get to know Nen and his types in a very short time. Asta and Gon share several similarities, so Black Clover fans won't want to miss the former when watching Hunter x Hunter.
