Bandai Namco has officially announced that the
Jump Force cast of characters will include Asta, the hyperactive Magic Knight from the acclaimed
Black Clover anime. According to the series' lore, Asta's Anti Magic skills allow him to channel the energy throughout his body and attain a form where the magic courses through him and covers his body greatly increasing his superhuman strength and speed.
The cast of
Jump Force has rapidly expanded, as the fighting game's roster includes Sasuke (
Naruto), Vegeta, Cell, Piccolo, and Frieza (
Dragon Ball), Zoro, Sanji, Blackbeard & Sabo (
One Piece), Ichigo, Rukia, Aizen (
Bleach), Yugi Muto (
Yu-Gi-Oh), Gon, Hisoka, Kurapika, Killua (
Hunter X Hunter), Ryo Saeba (
City Hunter), Kenshiro (
Fist of the North Star), and Pegasus Seiya & Dragon Shiryu from
Saint Seiya.
In J
ump Force, Asta will fight using two swords: his rush-type Demon-Slayer Sword and his ranged-type Demon-Dweller Sword. Just like Vegeta, Asta can summon his Super Sayan-ish form channeling his Black Asta power to perform the super attack Black Meteorite that charges towards a target, dealing a powerful slash once they're in range.
