Thus, making him unable to completely control his powers. We do not know at what ages the other users of One for All got their powers. But they might be older than Deku when they gained them, thus Deku looks to be more struggling against them, who made it look easy probably.\n 2.

[ { "body": "\n\nThe closest I can get to answering this in a non-opinion based way is to base\nit on the opinion of someone quasi-famous, i.e. a reviewer who has discussed\nBlack Clover across its run. To start with, YouTuber Gigguk reviewed Black\nClover twice - once in November 2017 shortly after the show began, and once in\nOctober 2018. His original video is titled \"[Black Clover: The New Problem\nChild of Shounen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRLyJxvqX_E)\", while the\nfollow-up is titled \"[Black Clover Does NOT Suck\nAnymore.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhWgRovPib8)\", so that might give a\nbit of a hint as to how his opinions shifted in that year (although, spoiler\nalert, he did already see the potential early on and mostly had an issue with\nhow the show was moving in its first episodes).\n\nSome of the key points from both videos, especially noting the reasons why\nBlack Clover was not received well early on:\n\n * The most recent big shounen shows to have aired just before Black Clover were the second seasons of My Hero Academia and Attack on Titan. These shows are both considered to be highly influential (although AoT season 2 was not necessarily as well received as the first season), and people felt they took the genre forward with some amount of innovation and story telling.\n\n * The early set-up of Black Clover seemed to be highly generic in terms of shounen - spiky-haired protagonist with no power but big dreams discovers he actually has the most amazing power ever, joins a group of misfits and deals with a series of increasing threats by getting more powerful himself. As Gigguk points out in his second video, the show never really gets more original (although from what I saw of the end of the first big arc, it did try to do a bit more with the story later on) - but it does build a certain amount of self-awareness in its derivativeness and goes all-in on using all of the big shounen tropes.\n\n * The show felt low-effort in various ways - characters didn't have the detailed backstories of, say, My Hero Academia characters; the animation quality was much lower than those other shows; and since every episode started with not just a recap of the previous episode/s (often trying to explain everything that was going on, not just the parts that would make it easier to follow this episode), but a recap of the history of the world, you wind up with only about 15 minutes of \"new\" content in a 25 minute show.\n\n * The show moved very slowly - as Gigguk points out, a typical episode of a shounen anime will adapt about 2 chapters of the manga. The first 6 episodes of Black Clover adapted 4 chapters of the manga, meaning that it was stalling for time heavily at a point where it was supposed to be building up expectations.\n\n * Asta had no lines that were spoken at a volume below a scream. As the main character, this was incredibly grating for a lot of people.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-06-11T00:18:35.533", "id": "57861", "last_activity_date": "2020-06-11T00:18:35.533", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "8843", "parent_id": "57847", "post_type": "answer", "score": 3 } ]

A common one is from [Genesis\n3:5](https://biblehub.com/genesis/3-5.htm):\n\n> \"For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you\n> will be like God, knowing good and evil.\"\n\nThe use of the apple also shows up in Disney films, one being Snow White,\nwhere Snow White eats a poisoned apple. This type of common theme is called an\n\"[archetype](https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/english/archetype),\"\nor the perfect representation selected across time to convey an idea. These\ntypes of ideas can be rooted in human biology and passed down through our\ngenes, the [apple specifically is one of those\nideas](https://youtu.be/SW1IDBMtA00?t=25). Human vision is precisely evolved\nto detect danger(blood), ripe fruit as well as human sexuality _(blood in the\nblushing of cheeks and red lips--also why sports cars are red, they're more\nsexually appealing that way)_.\n\n_**A BIT OF PRE-HISTORY LESSON**_\n\nThe specific correlation here is that humans evolved to detect danger through\nacute color vision to see blood and death (red, like apples). Simultaneously\nthe acute vision lead to the ability to see time and look into the future\nwhere you could possibly die. So humans started to store up food and gather\nresources. Women couldn't always take care of themselves in history due to\nchild birth, so men did all of the hunter gather stuff. So what happens is\nthat men gained selection pressure through resources over women (best hunter\ngot the best women, survival). Simultaneously women had less danger to contend\nwith and evolved to convey sexuality (ripeness) through their skin, lips and\ncheeks. This would appeal to hunter gatherers and the best hunters would flock\nto the most sexually ripe women. Men also achieved this feat, in that\nsexuality (ripeness) is correlated with fitness (ability to hunt).\n\nNow when it comes to reproduction, the main function is to pass on your\ngenetics. So whomever holds genetic selection power can pass on their genetics\nmore easily. So if you were less visually appealing it usually correlated to\nyour ability to either provide (men) or reproduce (women).\n\nThis gave women sexual selection power over men in that they can decline men\nthe ability to pass on genes, e.g. death because their looks correlated to\ntheir ability to gather resources. Which is important for childbirth and care.\nThis made men subconscious of their looks and abilities. Hence why in Genesis\nEve gives Adam the apple, she judged him and made him aware and self-\nconscious.\n\nThis play between men and women was in essence what caused the awakening of\nconsciousness, ability to see death and the future as well as to see ripe\nfruit. Hence the correlation between the different stories with women, apples\nand death.\n\n_**UTILIZATION OF ARCHETYPES**_\n\nSo when this sort of archetype is utilized in media in this manner it's\nusually subconsciously being used to convey an idea that your physiology may\nunderstand, but consciously you don't. That's why these shows are so\ncaptivating, they have ideas rooted in their substructure that appeal to you\nat your core and represent ideas spanning the entirety of human\nevolution/existence.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2020-07-20T06:39:50.693", "id": "58175", "last_activity_date": "2020-07-21T18:56:05.247", "last_edit_date": "2020-07-21T18:56:05.247", "last_editor_user_id": "3034", "owner_user_id": "3034", "parent_id": "58155", "post_type": "answer", "score": 4 } ]
