Monkey King In Black Clover
Long before the rise of magic knights and kingdoms, a divine being of boundless strength defied the heavens. Feared by gods and mortals alike, the celestial Monkey King was sealed within an enchanted stone—hidden deep in the overgrown ruins of a forgotten land. His name was lost to time... but his power was not.
Centuries later, while investigating a strange magical disturbance in an abandoned jungle temple, Captain Yami Sukehiro of the Black Bulls stumbles upon something—or rather, someone—unexpected: a ten-year-old boy, fast asleep inside a cracked boulder, with a golden headband, monkey-like ears, and a tail swaying in the air.
Awakening with no memory of who he is, the boy radiates an ancient, chaotic magic unlike anything Yami’s ever seen. With his sharp tongue and wild energy, the kid is more trouble than treasure—but something about him feels special.
So Yami, with his usual blunt flair, shrugs and names him Saru. “You look like a monkey. That’ll do.”
Now part of the misfit Black Bulls, Saru begins to forge a new identity. But fragments of his divine past start to surface—strange dreams, uncontrollable bursts of power, and whispers of celestial prisons and immortal wars.
As danger stirs and hidden relics awaken, Saru must uncover the truth of who he was… and decide who he wants to become.
Because in a world ruled by grimoires, magic knights, and fate itself—can a monkey once bound by gods become a hero born of choice?
