The Devil Hierarchy In Black Clover, Explained

The Devil Hierarchy in Black Clover Explained

The Devil Hierarchy plays a huge role in how the story of Black Clover unfolds, especially when Asta and others begin facing stronger magical threats. In the world of Black Clover, Devils are not all the same. Some are way more powerful than others, and there is a clear system that ranks them.


This ranking explains why some Devils are feared more, while others are not. Devils come from the underworld and are full of magic and darkness. But they have their own social order. The stronger ones rule over the weaker ones, and the gap between each level is massive. Understanding the Devil hierarchy helps explain why some Devils are calm and smart, while others act wild or desperate.

How The Devil World Works

The Devils live in a place called the underworld. It is split into different levels or floors. The deeper the floor, the stronger the Devil. Devils at the bottom are usually the highest-ranking ones, as they have powerful magic, sharp intelligence, and even control over others. Devils near the top are weaker and don’t have as much magic or authority.


This setup creates a world where power decides everything. Lower-ranked Devils fear the ones above them and have to listen to them, or else suffer. Some of them try to escape to the human world to find freedom or cause destruction. That’s why humans like Asta and the Magic Knights have to stay ready. The stronger the Devil, the bigger the threat it is to the Clover Kingdom and beyond.


How The Devil Hierarchy Works In Black Clover

The Devils in Black Clover are divided into three main ranks based on their power and intelligence. Low-rank Devils are the weakest, often acting like wild beasts with little control over their magic. They are usually seen in smaller battles or summoned by careless mages. Despite being the weakest, they are still dangerous to normal humans.


Mid-rank Devils are stronger and smarter, with better control of their magic. They can speak and plan their attacks, making them harder opponents in battle. High-ranking Devils are the most powerful, coming from the deepest parts of the underworld. They have terrifying abilities and can easily overpower even Magic Knight captains like Yuno. Devils like Lucifero and Beelzebub stand at the top, using advanced magic like gravity, space, and ice.


Special Devils And Their Roles

Some Devils are different from the rest and hold very important roles. The three rulers of the underworld are Lucifero, Beelzebub, and Astaroth. Each one controls a type of supreme magic. Lucifero uses Gravity Magic, Beelzebub uses Spatial Magic, and Astaroth has Time Magic. These Devils are at the very top of the hierarchy and are worshipped or feared by all other Devils.


Then there is Liebe, the Devil inside Asta. Even though he is a low-ranking Devil, he is unique because he has no magic. This makes him an outcast in the Devil world, but also helps Asta build a strong bond with him. Liebe’s hatred for other Devils makes him different. He does not want to rule or destroy; he wants revenge. Because of his bond with Asta, Liebe becomes one of the most important Devils in the story.


Final Verdict: The Devils Had Norms Too

The Devil Hierarchy in Black Clover shapes the whole story and explains the danger behind every Devil that appears. From wild low-rank creatures to god-like rulers of the underworld, each level brings new threats and challenges for Asta and his friends.


Understanding how this hierarchy works gives a better view of why some Devils act the way they do. It also shows how Asta and Liebe's bond is something special that breaks the rules of the Devil world.
