This was a step down from the last volume.

We end the last fight with Yumi taking over. I was actually impressed to see the Captain whoop some ass. Then we get a bunch of exposition throughout the next few chapters and learn about what else is happening in the world of Black Clover. Then we see Astra buddy team fight and it's just okay. Then we get to Astra arms and what happened to him.

The ending and start are the best part of this volume. The middle, while not bad, is just okay. It slows down the action and gives us a less than interesting look at the other team. But anything with Yumi or Astra learning about his future was great.

A 3 out of 5.
