Now, this is what we call a badass group with badass members. Black bulls are full of people who can use powerful magic. I know they all are noisy. Some of them are really dumb, even heavy drinkers, but they are what they are Black Bulls.
Black Bulls were not famous. Yami was the group’s captain; Yami himself was mighty, and the rest of the members were influential too, but they didn’t really show what they were capable of until Asta joined the Black Bulls.
During the selection, no one chose Asta, no one saw his potential and hard work, but Yami did, and he selected Asta to be in his team. Asta joined Black Bulls, and the rest is history. Now Asta and Black Bulls are one of the most powerful squads.
