Salve I'm going to paste some stuff from Wikipedia to save myself a lot of typing or explaining then apply it to Black Clover or BC (Before Christ)... Crowley did believe something along lines of Belial being one of the 3 before Samael but that will confuse many on here if I get into that. I noticed somebody called the Dark Triad vs. the Light Triad so I listed that to give an idea where it might be from. Before many on here were even born I used Belial...Without a Master or something from Satanic bible. The following is more from Jewish related stuff over anything else. I'm not trying to expose anybody to religion or convert anybody, I know he adapted stuff so I'm pretty sure this will happen or was used to some manner. Yami you could view as a representation of Belial or Belialo I guess way they name Devils in this. That would expand on my list a bit, anyways this below is from Wiki which I could have just extracted a few bits but wanted to give people a bit more context to help them grasp before breaking it down. If people react well to this maybe I'll explain more things otherwise its just not worth the time or effort .
Hebrew Bible
Belial (בְלִיַּעַל bĕli-yaal) is a Hebrew word "used to characterize the wicked or worthless." The etymology of the word is often understood as "lacking worth",[3] from two common words: beli- (בְּלִי "without-") and ya'al ( יָעַל "to be of value").
Some scholars translate it from Hebrew as "worthless" (Beli yo'il), while others translate it as "yokeless" (Beli ol), "may he have no rising" or "never to rise" (Beli ya'al). Only a few etymologists have believed it to be an invented name from the start.[4]
The word occurs twenty-seven times in the Masoretic Text, in verses such as Proverbs 6:12, where the King James Version (KJV) translates the Hebrew phrase adam beli-yaal as "a naughty person".[5]
In the Hebrew text the phrase is either "sons of Belial" or simply "sons of worthlessness".[6][7] Phrases beginning with "sons of" are a common Semitic idiom such as "sons of destruction", "sons of lawlessness".[8]
Of these 27 occurrences, the idiom "sons of Belial" (בְּנֵֽי־בְלִיַּעַל beni beliyaal) appears 15 times to indicate worthless people, including idolaters (Deuteronomy 13:13), the men of Gibeah (Judges 19:22, 20:13), the sons of Eli (1 Samuel 2:12), Nabal, and Shimei. The Geneva Bible (1560) uses "wicked," and at Jg 19:22 has the marginal note "Ebr [Hebrew] men of Belial: that is, given to all wickednes." In the KJV these occurrences are rendered with "Belial" capitalised:
In modern versions these are usually read as a phrase:
"Belial" is applied to ideas, words, and counsel,[9] to calamitous circumstances,[10] and most frequently, to worthless men of the lowest sort, such as men who would induce worship of other gods;[11] those of Benjamin who committed the sex crime at Gibeah;[12] the wicked sons of Eli;[13] insolent Nabal;[14] opposers of God’s anointed, David;[15] Rehoboam's unsteady associates;[16] Jezebel's conspirators against Naboth;[17] and men in general who stir up contention.[18] Indicating that the enemy power would no longer interfere with the carrying out of true worship by his people in their land, YHWH declared through his prophet: "No more will any worthless person pass again through you. In his entirety he will certainly be cut off."[19]
Second Temple period
The term belial appears frequently in Jewish texts of the Second Temple period (texts classified by Christians as the Old Testament pseudepigrapha and apocrypha).[3] Also a large number of references to Belial are evidenced in the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered at Qumran from 1948.
Dead Sea Scrolls
In The War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness,[20] one of the Dead Sea scrolls, Belial is the leader of the Sons of Darkness:
Alright so I'm going to use examples of how the Worthless basically are bound or led by Asta essentially. Those in their society at least who were seen that way or felt that way or cast out whatever in no particular order.
1. Asta ends up getting book from his Despair perhaps from Revchi being influenced to be there in first place.
2. Yuno saved by Asta even as a child helping him cope with being abandoned at birth etc.
3. Neige stealing magic from children was willing to change just so Asta would be his friend.
4. Mars he was saved by Asta in many ways while allowing him to save FAna as well.
5. Ladros seemed like a lost cause using those magic stones to gain power stepping on everybody not having any friends etc.
6. Mariella she was killing people had no real direction.
7. Noelle Silva I could write a book on this but its clear to anybody who read or watched.
8. Zora seeing his father or ideals in Asta finally joins team fully gets a purpose besides being ass .
9. Luck who had no friends just hurt people as only way to please his dead mother etc.
10. Nero/Secre she had a rough life but Asta helped give her hope again or humanity.
11. Gauche was pretty much only there for his sister but Asta helped him grow as a man etc.
12. Gordon abandoned his family but returned to try to save Asta only to find he was wrong to leave etc.
13. VAnessa going from a drunken lush to a person who is least a functional alcoholic.
14. Klaus helped change his view of people thanks to Asta being a worthless commoner.
15. Fanzel decided to carry on to find Code when he was ready to just let himself die or become captured.
16. Henry was able to find meaning along with a friend in Asta even ready to give his own life to safe his friends.
17. Yami became a better person surpassing his limits while finally doing what he wanted for Julius with his squad.
18. Sally she found Asta's body all that was needed to turn her.
19. Mimosa became stronger to fight by ASta's side etc...
20. Kirsh getting beat by Asta helped him be less negative towards commoners etc.
21. Finral went from being a loser who gave up on himself trying to hit on any woman he could to engaged etc .
22. Grey helped become more useful instead of fearful thanks to ASta.
23. Nash or whatever his name went form thinking he would be worthless to having hope of becoming Magic Knight etc.
24. Magna went from just a scrub to a higher ranked scrub trying hard to improve himself and magic.
You get the idea I have a few things to do. In general people who were worthless or lacking are touched by Belial. I don't think Astaroth would fit, I think that is Christian anyways. It isn't that easy to explain but if start to think about it relating everything it seems rather clear to me. I could probably list 48 or more examples of people or names if I had more time to think it over haha. I tried to least touch on key important moments or people... YOu got Patri, RAdus, who I think would fit that in many ways as well just to give an idea .
