Alongside Asta and Luck, Noelle Silva is one of the most powerful members of the Black Bulls and the Magic Knights. Her water magic type is well-studied and her own mana reserves are immense, but she still has a long way to go before rivaling the Magic Knight Squad Captains.
Nozel Silva comes from the same royal bloodline as Noelle. He also has more experience and control over his mercury magic than Noelle has over her water magic. Still, it is unclear which of these two siblings is the most powerful. Nobody has ever questioned the strength of Noelle other than her family, so how well does this Black Bull match up against her captain-ranked brother?
10 Noelle: Her Valkyrie Armor Grants Her Offense, Defense, And Mobility
During the Elf Reincarnation Arc, Noelle goes through a transformation that puts her immense levels of mana on display for the world to see. Noelle's Valkyrie Armor borrows from one of her mother's spells and enhances her offense, defense, and mobility.
Even though Nozel inherited his mother's magic type, it was Noelle that fully embraced her image and aimed to replicate her strength. The connection Noelle has with her mother is one of the main reasons she may one day surpass Nozel.
9 Nozel: Mercury Allows For Durable Creations That Cannot Be Easily Broken
The water magic type is a well-studied and powerful force of mana manipulation that can match the strength of any other magic type. But replicated strength is not the same as being inherently strong.
To prove this point, fans only need to consider the difference between Nozel's mercury magic and Noelle's water magic. Despite using his silver creation magic on a much smaller scale, Nozel's spells hold up much better against his enemy's attacks. Even Asta'a anti-magic sword has trouble slicing through Nozel's densely constructed silver creations.
8 Noelle: She's Rarely Forced To Rely On Her Ingenuity To Succeed Thanks To An Immense Amount Of Magic Power
Noelle's battle with Magicula proves that she still has a long way to go before reaching her limit. While other magic knights spent their time in the Heart Kingdom mastering complex spells that enhance the strength and complexity of their combat styles, Noelle focused on enhancing her already impressive strengths.
For example, Noelle's Valkyrie Armor took on a leaner design while her Point-Blank Sea Dragon's Roar took an already powerful attack spell and turned it into a shotgun. Noelle definitely needs to add some complexity to her spells or she will never defeat Magicula, but the fact that she has come this far before being forced to rely on not much other than brute strength is a testament to her incredible magical power.
7 Nozel: His Ingenuity And Flexibility Help Him Overcome Opponents With Higher Levels Of Magic Power
Despite falling short of Noelle's incredible stores of mana, Nozel still stands above his little sister in terms of skill. The Captain of the Silver Eagles carries the royal blood of the Silvas and uses it to masterfully craft some of the most impressive spells ever seen in Black Clover.
While it has yet to be confirmed, it would seem that Nozel possesses less mana than a few of his peers in the Magic Knights. This has forced Nozel to invest in his ingenuity since he began comparing himself to Fuegoleon and Vangeance as a Magic Knight Captain. Thanks to this, Nozel has combined both power and strategy to become one of the strongest mages in the entire Clover Kingdom.
6 Noelle: She Has Embraced Asta's Never Give Up Personality While Working With The Black Bulls
Noelle's fighting style veers much closer to the physical side of hand-to-hand combat than Nozel's. Though she would never admit it, this probably has a lot to do with the meathead she shares the majority of her time with as a member of the Black Bulls.
Of course, Nozel has some grit to him as well, but Noelle has let Asta's mindset influence her at the very core of her personality. If it came down to a battle of stamina, Noelle would surely outlast Nozel thanks to her time training with Asta.
5 Nozel: He's In Complete Control Of His Magic Power
Noelle is an incredibly powerful Magic Knight, but she has always been held back by her magic power. The immensity of her power makes it difficult to control.
Noelle uses a wand to build armor that enhances her abilities and cast powerful short and long range attack spells. Nozel, on the other hand, is able to manipulate his mercury magic and create a variety of powerful and creative structures that Noelle could only dream of. Nozel Silva's experience makes up for his lesser raw strength.
4 Noelle: Her Water Magic Type Has More History Than Nozel's Mercury Magic
During the battle between Lolopechka and Vanica, Noelle proves why water magic has its benefits over mercury magic. Though Nozel proves that his silver creation magic can offer incredible offensive and defensive combat spells, Noelle's magic type is much more common and well-studied.
During Noelle's time in the Heart Kingdom, she learns to tap into the natural flow of mana with the help of Lolopechka and Undine, the water spirit. By studying alongside mages of the same type, Noelle has had the chance to learn from others and innovate upon her own techniques in ways that Nozel never could.
3 Nozel: Silver Star Of Execution & Silver Bullets Prove That Mercury Magic Can Be Incredibly Potent
Noelle's magic water type is powerful, but Nozel has come up with some incredibly powerful spells with his mercury type, silver creation magic. Instead of relying on simple brute strength attack spells like his little sister, Nozel has learned complex spells that have a huge impact on the battlefield, like the Silver Star of Execution and Silver Bullets. If Nozel continues to learn complex new spells, he will keep up with his sister regardless of the gap in their magic power levels.
2 Noelle: She Isn't Slowed Down By Classist Ideology Like Her Brother
Considering the attitudes of Lumiere Silvamillion Clover and Julius Novachrono it is surprising that so many nobles in Clover Kingdom are bogged down by a classist ideology that limits their ability to feel empathy toward common folk. Perhaps it's Julius' fault for not spending more time with his Magic Knight Captains, but one thing is certain: Noelle has overcome her classist roots thanks to the time she has spent with Asta and the Black Bulls.
Between Asta, Magna, and Zora, the Black Bulls are full of commoners. Their diverse roster has given Noelle the chance to overcome her social and personal biases, though her harsh language might suggest otherwise.
1 Nozel: His Status And Title Grant Him Access To A Long List Of Powerful Resources
As the eldest son of the esteemed Silva family and the Squad Captain of the Silver Eagles, Nozel has access to an endless supply of magical items and financial resources. This isn't to say that Noelle is strapped for resources, but Nozel's experience and status give him an edge over his sister when it comes to magic items and resource distribution.
Nozel has balanced the resources of the Silver Eagles for years. He may have struggled to handle Noelle's overwhelming power, but outside of family matters, Nozel is a brilliant tactician and leader.
