‘Black Clover’ episode 136 spoilers, official preview

“A Black Deep-Sea Story” is the official title for “Black Clover” episode 136, so it should be enough clue that it will focus on the Black Bull’s water magic expert. Breaking down the brief video teaser further reveals details that point to a potentially major development for Noelle next week.

Noelle’s monologue in the “Black Clover” episode 136 preview also adds to the clues that next week will be mostly about her training and gaining more magic abilities. Meanwhile, by the end of the video teaser, fans can also see a brief appearance of Kahono and Kaito proving that the next episode will be mainly set in the Underwater Temple.

Noelle’s grimoire was also briefly shown in the “Black Clover” episode 136 preview. It was enough to stir speculations among manga readers that next week’s episode will fill in the events on how she acquired her mermaid form after the timeskip.

It should be noted that “Black Clover” episode 136 is still part of the anime-original training arc that takes place in the six months that went by before the attack on the Spade Kingdom. In the manga, after the timeskip, Noelle surprised fans when she debuted an upgrade to her Valkyrie, aka her mermaid form.

It was implied that Noelle acquired this ability during the six-month training period. This was not shown in the manga, but it is what the anime series is narrating right now. So the speculations that Noelle will learn the mermaid form in “Black Clover” episode 136 could eventually become reality.
