Black Clover offers a way to diversify manga

In the latest chapter of the Black Clover manga series, the new villain Lucius Zogratis’ Paladin Yrul is depicted with a speech impediment that makes him repeat the first syllable of certain words no more than once. What is remarkable about this is that none of Yrul’s opponents, including Asta, his devil partner Liebe or Yami’s sister Ichika, react to his stutter in any negative or discriminatory way. This portrayal of inclusivity is significant because it demonstrates how a manga can be more welcoming and representative of a diverse population.

Despite Yrul’s cruelty and derogatory comments towards his opponents, Asta, Liebe, and Ichika choose not to make any negative remarks about Yrul’s speech impediment. Yrul uses his stuttering to mock his opponents’ skills and belittle Ichika, who is supposed to be one of her country’s strongest fighters. Additionally, Yrul’s attempts to expose Asta’s deepest fears backfire, leading to Asta inadvertently admitting that he is not as strong as Yuno. While it would be insensitive for Asta to retaliate and point out Yrul’s speech impediment, the fact that he chooses to ignore it entirely shows him to be an ideal hero who strives for a world where discrimination does not exist.

Chapter 348 of Black Clover is created by mangaka Yuki Tabata, translator Taylor Engel, and letterer Annaliese “Ace” Christman. This depiction of inclusivity in manga is an important step towards creating a more accepting and diverse world, where differences are celebrated and not discriminated against.
