The Magic Knights are squads of powerful magic users who protect the Clover Kindom against internal and external attacks. Becoming a Magic Knight is among the highest levels of recognition and fame a mage can get in the Clover Kingdom. They are revered and respected by noblemen and commoners alike; however, this reverence and respect are hardly ever extended to the Black Bulls.

The Black Bulls are a ragtag team of misfits handpicked by their captain—Yami Sukehiro. No team attracts more disdain and disgust from all within the Clover Kingdom than the Black Bulls. Nevertheless, they have a host of strong mages within their ranks.

15 Gauche Adlai

The manga and anime initially depict Gauche as a gag character, with the running gag being his borderline obsessive love for his much younger sister. However, he possesses powerful mirror magic that allows him to deflect attacks and shoot deadly light beams. He can also take this power a step further by making copies of himself or any other thing with his mirrors, and it is not limited to one copy. This ability gives him a significant boost in battle. For instance, in the Dark Triad arc, Gauche can be seen making multiple copies of Charmy so she can transmute Moris’s tendrils away.

Gauche also has a magic tool implanted into his eye, allowing him to increase his spells' power. After an elf also possessed him, Gauche gained a significant boost in strength because the elven mana still dwelled within him.

14 Gordon Agrippa

As everyone’s favorite sheepish Goth king, Gordon possesses poison magic which he can use to weaken(or worse) his opponents. Gauche later developed his ability to heal his allies in battle by turning the poison into medicine. During the Dark Triad arc, Gordon can manipulate a curse placed on someone to better work for him or them through the ability—The Curse Worker’s Neighbour. For example, he used this on Henry(who can involuntarily drain the power of anyone close to him) and allowed him to choose whose magic power he could drain.

Gordon can also use his curse magic to construct sentient poisonous badgers to attack his opponents. He also could go to the deepest parts of the Ultime-Volcano Mountain Trail using mana skin, a difficult feat for many mages.

13 Magna Swing

Magna is a commoner and a 5th-class Junior Magic Knight. He is a fire magic wielder and a 5th-class Junior Magic Knight. He is often seen as a weaker team member since he had difficulty controlling his magic earlier.

After six months of training in rune arrays with Zora, Magna can conjure a Soul Chain that equalizes the people's power. He uses this Chain to defeat Dante.

Grey also uses transmutation magic, allowing her to disassemble and reassemble matter on a molecular level. This ability is not limited to people but also extends to magic, like when Grey was able to transmute Moris’s magic into plants. She can also use this ability to heal her allies, like when she healed Gauche’s wounds after Dante stabs him.

11 Vanessa Enoteca

The Black Bull’s resident witch, Vanessa, was born in the witch’s forest and was one of the Witch Queen’s favorites. However, after the Witch Queen sees in a prophecy that Vanessa will one day gain control of fate and consequences, she imprisons her to improve her magic. Vanessa is primarily a support character, like how she combined her thread magic and Finral’s teleportation magic to increase Asta’s mobility.

Vanessa can use her powers to cast a spell called the Red Thread of Fate which conjures a red cat that manipulates fate and consequences. This ability is so powerful that when Dante witnesses her use it, he asks her to join his ranks. Unfortunately, the Red Thread of Fate does not work so well against devil-imbued magic as they can manipulate intangible consequences like fate and consequences.

10 Henry Legolant

Henry is the physical embodiment of the term “sleepy head.” He was born into nobility and with an illness that makes him drain the magic of people around him. Henry uses recombination magic to change the size and shape of any object he knows well, like when he transformed the Black Bull house into a giant raging black bull.

In addition, he has used his recombination magic and mana-draining ability to achieve other incredible feats. For example, with the Black Bulls being close to him, Henry created the Ultra Raging Bull, briefly going toe to toe with Lucifero. He also possesses great magical power as he uses it to resist Dante’s gravity magic.

9 Zora Ideale

Zora makes use of trap magic. He uses rune arrays to create traps to restrain his opponents. He can also use these traps to reflect attacks from his opponents. In addition, Zora possesses a high battle IQ, allowing him to develop complex strategies to defeat his opponents. However, one limitation of Zora’s ability is that he needs prep time to create more powerful traps. Zora can still create traps instantaneously, but they may not be as powerful.

Nevertheless, these traps can still work effectively against opponents. Using his more complex trap counter-magic spell, Zora was able to reflect Lucifero’s attack on him two-fold. He can also use ash magic to uncover hidden traps.

8 Secre Swallowtail

Secre was born into nobility, but her family discarded her after they deemed her power useless. Afterward, she was assigned to be the royal servant to the person who would become the first-ever Wizard King. Secre possesses powerful sealing magic which she can use to open and close objects or spells.

She can also use it to seal people or other living beings, like when she used it to seal the devil—Zagred. She can also release people from these seals as long she does not use her ability called Eternal Prison which can seal any living being for centuries. Secre also uses her sealing magic to heal. She can do this by sealing a wound or exhaustion of her allies. Unfortunately, she can only play a supporting role in battles due to her lack of offensive and defensive capabilities.

For example, he can transport his teammates around enemies to allow them to get surprise attacks against their opponents, as he did in the fight against Vetto.

Finral’s portals are also not static, as he can launch them toward his opponents and transport them elsewhere. After training in the Heart Kingdom, Finral can use his arrays to increase his speed, allowing him to evade Zenon’s bone whips.

6 Luck Voltia

3 Nacht Faust

Black Clover Nacht Faust

Whether Nacht is the more powerful Black Bull member compared to Asta is still up for debate; however, he ranks just a place lower than Asta on this list. Nevertheless, he leads the Black Bull Magic Knights squad of the Clover Kingdom as vice-captain. Like any other emo-black-haired anime character who is overpowered, Nacht possesses enormous magic powers and outpaces someone like Asta in all categories except physical strength.

Nacht is a host to four different devils and possesses an astonishingly potent form of shadow magic which allows him to blend into any object's or person's shadow and give his sleuthing abilities a perfect 10 rating. Nacht can also immobilize or restrain people using shadows. He was successful as a spy in the Spade Kingdom for a significant period, thanks to the features of his shadow magic.

2 Asta
