I am increasingly thinking that Wakasa from the time of the first generation of Black Dragons is very similar to Saito Hajime from "Chiruran: Shinsengumi Chinkonka".
My character, Sumaru, wrote a song for his sworn brother Dionysus, but an accident separated them before he could sing it. Sumaru has already lost hope of reuniting with his family, but Asta gives him confidence again! And to cheer up the future Wizard King, the elf dedicates this song to him too)

The song is performed in Russian, so keep the translation:
I was born weak, sick, I was a burden to my family ...
Was small, you threw in the woods
Fire, my brother plunged into darkness!
Oh...why didn't you kill then?!
To me, mother or enemy - my fate?
My chest is smoldering a little
But our friendship warms
Only you, the thread that leads me to salvation.
You are not my brother, but still,
Shoulder to shoulder with you.
You are true to your heart
Be brave, you can do anything, you know the way!
Did you think the world was against you?
Only evil, betrayal and fear?
What is struggle but no love?
No friendship, no happiness without a family?
But if suddenly trouble
Friends can become family.
My chest is smoldering a little
But our friendship warms
Only you, the thread that leads me to salvation.
You are not my brother, but still
Shoulder to shoulder with you.
You are true to your heart
Be brave, you can...
My chest is smoldering a little
But our friendship warms
Only you, the thread that leads me to salvation.
You saw a lot of dirt
But he is clean, and not ready to bathe others in it.
Don't get me wrong, I love Black Clover. I watched this story before the anime series, before the release of ova for Jump Festa in 2016, but how upset I am with the recent events of the manga. Asta is no longer a simple boy with anti-magic who goes through difficulties, but some kind of chosen...
If the characters die, they will surely be resurrected. Many cried over the death of Gray and Gouche, but they were immediately returned. Jack, for sure, will also be returned, although I would not want this, because he left so beautifully (
After watching the BC spoilers, I want to scream "I WAS RIGHT." We are waiting for Jack's return. By the way, his grimoire has not completely dissolved yet🤔
I like Apollo much more than Leonidas, because he behaves very ambiguously: he adores himself, but does not treat everyone else with disdain. Leonidas is still behaving like a hysteric, taking any phrase of the enemy for a hostile statement. Unfortunately, Apollo will most likely lose, because in all cases where the characters / hobbies / opinions / fighting style of the opponents were too different, as in this case, the people won.
I will give examples.
1. Thor and Lü Bu are both battle lovers who were waiting for the right opponent. Bottom line: God won.
2. Zeus and Adam both prefer fisticuffs, both were set up as role models for their children (remember how Ares admires Zeus). Outcome: victory for the gods.
3. Poseidon vs. Sasaki Kojiro. Both have different principles, different views on life, different fighting styles and weapons. Outcome: victory for mankind.
4. Hercules vs. Jack. Personalities are completely different, weapons and style are not similar, outlooks on life are different. Outcome: victory for humanity.
5. Shiva and Raiden. On both lies the burden of experiences of people close to them. Both fought primarily for the sake of others. Both preferred hand-to-hand combat. Yes, the characters are somewhat similar. Bottom line: God won.
6. Buddha vs. Zerofuku and Hajun. In both cases, the principles and worldviews of the opponents differed quite strongly. Bottom line: the victory was taken by the side of the people. (Yes, Buddha was supposedly one of the gods, but in fact he is a man, and he fought for people)
7. Someone may argue that the fighters have a lot in common here, but this is not entirely true. The only thing Ying Zheng and Hades have in common is that they are both rulers. Their principles are completely different. Qin Shi Huang fought primarily for humanity, for his subjects, and Hades for his family. Ying Zheng is shown as a person who cares about everyone, while Hades is more like an older brother than a king. A man who was betrayed by his family fought against a god who always protected his family (and not only relatives). Outcome: the victory of man.
8. Beelzebub vs. Tesla. Yes, their characters are different, their views on life are also different, and their fighting styles are also different. However, they have very similar stories and interests: both were passionate about science and continued their research due to the loss of loved ones. Outcome: victory for the gods.
I really want Apollo to win, but most readers are interested in the aggressive bull Leonidas :/
I just don't have anyone to share my sadness with.
