The Hunters Guild Asks if Black Clovers Asta Had A Death Note

Warning! Spoilers ahead for The Hunters Guild: Red Hood chapter 16!

The Hunters Guild: Red Hood was a relatively tame series as far as Shonen Jump serializations go until mangaka Yuki Kawaguchi essentially threw one of the many explosives that her character Grimm uses into everything by transforming the main character Velou into Black Clover’s Asta and handing him a Death Note.

Partially what set The Hunters Guild apart from other shonen manga initially was that Velou didn’t possess any powers much like Deku from My Hero Academia. He was just a normal kid whose innate talent of being able to problem-solve under extreme duress was enough to attract the attention of Hunters Guild member Grimm. Velou then appeared even weaker when juxtaposed against other characters. That said, mangaka Yuki Kawaguchi hinted throughout the earlier chapters that things weren’t as they seemed, referencing something about a book and pages with supernatural powers. Now Kawaguchi finally reveals the ridiculous truth in chapter 16.

It turns out, there’s a powerful book that can change the course of existence by simply writing within its very pages. The person who first stumbled upon the tome long ago realized that someone or something had already written about how he would find it. Upon further study, this person learned that the book contained everything about their world. The eponymous Hunters Guild was therefore founded to protect the strange artifact and write inside its pages, believing that life would cease to exist if they didn’t. But one early member who readers originally only knew as Velou’s mayor soon came to view the guild’s actions as unethical. He eventually tore some pages out of the book and defected, with the intent of creating a new world, where existence wasn’t contingent on writing in a book and where people’s lives weren’t controlled by an ambivalently chosen mortal. Part of this man’s effort involved creating Velou, a boy who was seemingly a normal shonen hero but who actually possessed a power that essentially unravels the fabric of their world just by existing.

Even with such a basic premise, it’s not difficult for readers to view The Hunters Guild’s book as a re-imagined version of Death Note’s eponymous tomes and Velou as a reinterpretation of Black Clover’s Asta. In Death Note, those who write the names of people within its accursed pages doom those poor souls to experiencing a fatal heart attack. Elaborating further on how those written down will die can also manifest in the real world, so long as certain guidelines or factors are met. The Hunters Guild’s book therefore is essentially a Death Note that isn’t limited to just killing. Meanwhile, Velou is like Asta because the latter boy wields weapons and can transform into a demon that possess anti-magic in a world where everything is governed and exists through magic. Velou’s very existence serves as the antithesis of his world, much like how Asta deconstructs the very foundations that rule his universe.

This is either an exciting or a disappointing time for readers who have been keeping up to date with The Hunters Guild: Red Hood. Those whose interest was solely predicated on the manga continuing down the same path as it began will undoubtedly fail to find this shift to their liking, while others who enjoy major plot twists will assuredly see this as an invigorating development. Regardless, both Death Note and Black Clover introduced their respective bombshells about death and Asta, respectively, in either the first or early chapters. Mangaka Yuki Kawaguchi did the same but only after already establishing the status quo before proceeding to quickly obliterate what The Hunters Guild: Red Hood’s characters and readers already determined as that world’s reality.
