How Old Is Yami From Black Clover

Let's talk about Yami Sukehiro from Black Clover. How old is he?

The "Official" Age: 28

Officially, the Black Clover databooks say he's 28. Seems straightforward, right? But, hold on a second.

I'm not entirely buying it. Don't get me wrong, 28 is perfectly respectable. But something just doesn't feel right.

Exhibit A: His Vibe

Yami gives off major "seen-some-stuff" energy. He's calm, collected, and borderline apathetic sometimes. You don't get that after just 28 years.

He feels like he's lived through multiple lifetimes of battles and bad decisions. That's not to say 28-year-olds can't be wise. But Yami's wisdom feels...different.

Exhibit B: His Mentor-like Quality

He's the captain of the Black Bulls. He guides a bunch of rambunctious youngsters. And he deals with their antics surprisingly well. Like a seasoned parent. Or maybe a weary grandpa?

Think about it, he constantly puts up with Asta's yelling. Noelle's tsundere moments. He even tolerates Magna's explosions. A 28-year-old might snap. Yami doesn't. That's experience, baby!

Exhibit C: He's a Master Swordsman

Yami is a beast with a sword. A total beast. He practically invented Dark Magic. And nobody just becomes THAT good in their twenties.

Years of training. Years of fighting. It all adds up. So, my unpopular opinion? He's lying about his age. Or maybe just forgot.

The Unpopular Opinion: He's Older Than He Says

Hear me out. I think Yami is at least in his mid-thirties. Maybe even pushing forty. He's got that "I've stopped counting" thing going on.

It's just a hunch. Based on vibes and swordsmanship. Plus the whole calm-under-pressure thing. Don't get me wrong, he still rocks!

Reasons for the Age Deception (Maybe?)

Okay, why would he lie? Maybe he doesn't. He could have just forgotten his age, because Yami seems like that type of person.

Or maybe, a younger age is advantageous? Less expectations? Easier to be underestimated? He is a strategic man.

So, How Old IS He? My Verdict

The databooks say 28. Fine. But in my heart, Yami Sukehiro is a grizzled veteran. He's a man who’s seen too much and still manages to crack a smile.

He's at least 35. And honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he suddenly revealed he was secretly a hundred-year-old elf in disguise. (Black Clover gets wild sometimes!)

What do you think? Is Yami a youthful 28? Or a surprisingly spry older gentleman? I'm eager to hear your thoughts!
