Black Clover Episode 87
Review Summary
Watch to experience the long-awaited and satisfying conclusion of the Royal Knight test, delivering a decisive end to the high-stakes competition.
👀 SPOILER-FREE SUMMARY
A rallying-point episode that trades combat for camaraderie. The energy here is anticipatory — elite Magic Knights drawn from rival squads now stand shoulder to shoulder under Captain Mereoleona Vermillion's fierce command. Expect Asta, Noelle, Luck, and Yuno navigating the social dynamics of a freshly forged unit where rivalries, egos, and mutual respect all collide. The pacing is deliberately measured, giving room for character interactions and quiet tension rather than flashy battles. Mereoleona's commanding presence dominates every scene she occupies, and the episode leans into the theme of unity across class and squad lines — a core Black Clover idea pushed to the forefront. This is a setup episode through and through, but it carries genuine weight because the stakes waiting on the other side feel real and imminent.
🔥 KEY MOMENTS
📍 ARC CONTEXT
Sitting at the midpoint of the series and squarely within the Royal Knights Arc, Episode 87 follows the reflective tone of Episode 86's backstory on Yami and the Black Bulls' origins, now pivoting toward forward momentum. The formal assembly of the Royal Knights marks the transition from tournament results to active mission prep. Everything here directly sets the table for Episode 88's push toward the Eye of the Midnight Sun's stronghold — making this a critical bridge between character development and the arc's major offensive.
