That said, mangaka Yuki Kawaguchi hinted throughout the earlier chapters that things weren't as they seemed, referencing something about a book and pages with supernatural powers. Velou then appeared even weaker when juxtaposed against other characters. He was just a normal kid whose innate talent of being able to problem-solve under extreme duress was enough to attract the attention of Hunters Guild member Grimm. Partially what set The Hunters Guild apart from other shonen manga initially was that Velou didn't possess any powers much like Deku from My Hero Academia. The Hunters Guild: Red Hood was a relatively tame series as far as Shonen Jump serializations go until mangaka Yuki Kawaguchi essentially threw one of the many explosives that her character Grimm uses into everything by transforming the main character Velou into Black Clover's Asta and handing him a Death Note. Warning! Spoilers ahead for The Hunters Guild: Red Hood chapter 16!
