i think the reason i like rades so much as a character rather than a just a minor villain is that he utilizes one of my favorite tropes—a villain that’s seeking revenge on the system that failed him. and he doesn’t do it in the usual way, either. because hearing rades talk about how he was shunned for having wraith magic and was never really given the chance to be anything more than a villain is so much more interesting than, say, shnsou from my hero academia, who is in the same basic situation but decided to be a hero to spite that expectation that was placed on him. because when a villain says “if you wanted me to be a villain so bad than i became one” it feels so much more complex and impactful than “you wanted me to be a villain so i did the noble thing instead”. because in media like this, when you’re expected to believe in the black and white, choosing to give into the shitty things people expect you to do feels so much more sad than rising above them.

i know it probably wasn’t meant to sting as bad as it did when fuegoleon told rades that if he’d been given the opportunity to be a good magic knight he could’ve turned out differently, but it stung nonetheless. because at the end of the day he wasn’t given the opportunity. it was decided the second that he was given wraith magic that the only path he could take was that of revenge and darkness, no matter what the privileged magic knights may think.

and at the end of the day that’s the real message of black clover—sure it tells you that there’s something powerful in not giving up, but if you look deeper it also shows you how vastly different things are for people based on their privilege and ability. sure magic is everything, but theirs is a society where people can stand to be incredibly picky about what magic they favor. and maybe you aren’t supposed to pity people like rades who they didn’t favor, but i can’t say that i don’t want to give him a hug and tell him that his magic is worth something too.
