The final arc of Black Clover is heating up, and the latest cliffhanger teases the return of some of the series’ most dangerous villains: the Dark Triad.
As Asta and Yuno battle Lucius Zogratis in what appears to be the ultimate showdown, the story hints that Lucius’ siblings might still have a role to play in the climactic fight.
The Final Fight Against Lucius
In Black Clover Chapters 377 and 378, Asta and Yuno reunite on the battlefield, showcasing the skills they’ve honed throughout the series.
Together, they take on Lucius, whose overwhelming power has been a major threat to the Clover Kingdom.
- Asta’s Zetten Technique: After training in the Land of the Sun, Asta’s mastery of the Zetten technique allows him to land a decisive hit.
- Yuno’s Saint Spirit of Boreas: Yuno’s fully powered attack pushes Lucius to the brink.
Despite their combined efforts, the fight is far from over. Lucius appears to be defeated, but the ominous sound of four heartbeats hints at an unexpected twist.
Are the Dark Triad Returning?
The Dark Triad—Dante, Vanica, and Zenon Zogratis—were last seen during the Spade Kingdom Raid arc. Each sibling unleashed their full Devil powers before being defeated by Asta and the Magic Knights.
Lucius’ emergence marked the beginning of the current arc, and now it seems he may be planning to bring his siblings back.
- Lucius’ Throne Room: The cliffhanger shows Lucius sitting before the bodies of his defeated siblings within a massive spiritual tree.
- Four Heartbeats: The sound of four heartbeats suggests the Dark Triad might return, potentially with enhanced Paladin abilities or as part of Lucius’ grand plan.
What’s Next for Black Clover?
As Black Clover moves closer to its finale, it’s clear that the story still has many layers to unravel. The possibility of the Dark Triad’s return adds a new level of suspense to the final arc, and fans are eagerly waiting to see how Asta and Yuno will face this new challenge.
