Black Catcher (Black Clover OP10) [Piano] / Vickeblanka

Sheet music → https://mymusic.st/animenzzz/66720

Black Clover has many great opening songs but my personal favorite is still "Black Catcher" by Vickeblanka. Because nothing beats the epic chorus melody "LEEEEEET'S DYE THIS WORLD!!!". Absolutely amazing song.

The left hand is playing an important role in this arrangement as both the "rhythm engine" and the "guitar bassline" for the entire piece. Precise pedal control is also necessary to not muddy the left hand too much, especially during the verse in 0:18.

① Bass lines are the best! 1:16
I realized the bass guitar in "Black Catcher" is always playing a very distinctive melody during the chorus and I tried to replicate it in my piano arrangement as well. I had to modify the melody a little bit, so the left hand can play both the melody line and the chord progression at the same time in 1:16. I also used octaves in the last chorus in 2:42 to make the bass line stand out even more.

② Guitar solo, but played on the piano 2:14
Black Catcher is a really groovy song but the awesome guitar solo in the bridge stood out to me the most. I added additional 6ths notes to make it sound more virtuosic on the piano in 2:14. This passage also reminded me a little bit of a certain Chopin etude: You are playing very fast sixth notes on mainly black keys - does this sound familiar to any pianists here?

③ New BPM record (as of now)
This piece doesn't "feel" particularly fast but it actually has the highest tempo I have ever used in a sheet: 200 BPM! The biggest challenge for me was to play the left hand rhythms as precise possible - without this important "rhythm engine", the entire piece would sound flat. But once you master the left hand, It's a really fun piece to play on the piano!

Well then, that's it everyone! Thank you for reading this week's "Animenz explains!" Next week I will upload a remake of an old arrangement of mine - something I haven't done in a while.

See you next time again!
