Yūki Tabata's magical world manga Black Clover teases its final villain showdown in a new chapter release that has fans excited. The fantastic shounen series has been running since 2017, attracting a large readership thanks to its engaging storyline and eye-catching action sequences. The battle with the strongest villain in chapter 373 is also a sign that the series will soon come to an end.
Black Clover Manga Chapter 372 and 373 Reveal Battle with Lucius
Released on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, at 8:00 AM PDT (11:00 AM EDT), chapters 372 and 373 of the Black Clover manga feature Asta and Yuno approaching the future Supreme Demon King Lucius Zogratis. This detail comes from chapter 370, where Asta and Yuno admitted that they had to fight Lucius's real body as he prepared a massive magic similar to the World Tree's magic in the Clover Kingdom to carry out his plan. Furthermore, readers also learned that Lucius' plan was to kill humanity and revive them as immortal puppets that he could control. That's why Yuno, Asta, and Lucius' encounter will be the final battle of the Black Clover manga.
Other notable opponents that Lucius Zogratis faced included Astaroth, as well as demons that were captured and purified but not explicitly confirmed dead, such as Beelzebub, Adramelech, or Lucifugus. So, if they were involved, this battle could be the time when these demons were purified by Lucius' magic.
The underdogs of the Black Clover manga will shine brighter than ever
One of the most exciting returns of Black Clover is the Black Bulls, brought back by Asta's anti-magic spell while Asta and Yuno are carrying their beliefs against Lucius in the final battle. The return of the Black Bulls also signals the epic battle between Mereoleona and Moris from chapter 372 as well as the ongoing war with Lucius' clones that will be one of the best battles in the Black Clover manga.
However, in addition to the Bulls, there are many other fan-favorite Magic Knights involved, such as Brigade Captain Charlotte Roselei, William Vengeance, and Rill Boismortier. Since they are only supporting characters, there is no guarantee that they will not pay with their lives for the Clover Kingdom in the final chapters of Black Clover, but they will definitely shine in their own way in battle.
The Black Clover manga has been transitioned from Weekly Shonen Jump to Jump GIGA, which has created quite a few difficulties for the author. However, according to readers' comments, the quality of the art and the consistency of the latest chapters since the change have improved significantly, as Tabata's workload is now more manageable. The Black Clover manga is gradually coming to the conclusion that fans have been waiting for, not "the beginning of the elephant and the end of the mouse". Please continue to follow to support author Tabata.
