Summary of Chapter 336
Yuno’s return to the Clover Kingdom marked the beginning of Black Clover chapter 336, “The Final Enemy.” Nacht verified Yami’s suspicions that Asta must be dead or very far from the Kingdom because he was unable to enter the boy’s Shadow. Meanwhile, the captains were still trying to figure out what Lucius was up to when Yuno reported that he had battled Adrammelech and numerous high-ranking demons when Clover was under assault. He theorised that Lucius may have been attempting to divert attention to this. After 15 months of training, Yuno’s strength increased enormously, according to Adrammelech’s report to Lucius, who had returned to his lair with four Paladins, including Sister Lily. Lucius declared that Yuno was essential to the one future where the Magic Knights prevailed, out of an infinite number of futures. For this reason, it is imperative that he eliminate the Heir to the Spade Kingdom. When he returned to Clover, Yuno determined to prove himself more capable than Asta by vanquishing Lucius and seizing the throne as Wizard king. In another part of the world, a mystery guy discovered an unconscious Asta washing up on a foreign coast. Asta looked to have arrived in Hino Country, based on the trees he saw around him.
Black Clover chapter 337 will most likely feature Yuno’s conflict with Lucius Zogratis after his long-awaited homecoming. In this section, we’ll learn more about Asta and the place he washed up on. Additionally, the chapter might reveal who Lucius’ three new Paladins are. Several hypotheses have been put out as to the true nature of the guy who suddenly materialised next to Asta’s lifeless body. His role in Asta and the tale might determine the intensity of their upcoming conflict. While Asta and Yuno go off on their individual roads to greatness, Black Clover chapter 337 may reveal Noelle’s growth for the first time.

As of late, spoilers and raw scans for Black Clover Chapter 337 have been released, revealing the identity of the man seen at the close of the previous issue. New spoilers and raw scans reveal that Yami’s boyhood pal in Hino Country is the country’s shogun, Ryuudou Ryuuya. The man’s identity and his relationship with Yami are not revealed in Black Clover Chapter 337. Fans are debating whether or not the man (described in spoilers as looking like Yami) is connected to the Black Bulls’ captain, following the debunking of an inaccurate “Asta’s father” idea. An initial consensus among readers has the new character introduced in Chapter 337 of Black Clover is Yami Sukehiro’s sibling.
Reasons to believe a Sukehiro will become shogun of Hino Country
As soon as the purported raw scans of Black Clover Chapter 337 began to circulate, readers began identifying Ryuuya as Sukehiro. The chapter’s narrator notes that he and Yami have many physical and behavioural characteristics. Ryuuya’s solemn expression, in which he made it clear to Asta that he would lose in the Clover Kingdom if he returned at this time, was reminiscent of Yami’s. Right now, every aspect of him is a dead ringer for Yami, from his words to his serious bluntness to his looks.
Asta adds that he thinks Yami and Ryuuya’s Ki are quite similar, which is another evidence that they are related by blood. In previous issues, mangaka Yuki Tabata has shown that Asta can easily tell the difference between Lucius’ Ki and Julius’ Ki, thus this tease seems very purposeful on her side. When put in the context of Ryuuya insisting that Asta have a power-up right now, the two have very similar outlooks. This is in line with Yami’s encouragement to the Black Bulls to “go beyond.” One possible interpretation of such an incident is as a tease for a later-revealed relationship between the two.
If Yami does have a relative named Ryuuya, then it’s probable that he’s either Yami’s elder or younger brother. They look to be about the same age, with Yami being noticeably bigger and more muscular than his counterpart. Ryuuya isn’t little, but he isn’t quite as large as the Black Bulls’ captain. If Ryuuya is indeed Yami’s biological father, Tabata will need to explain the striking similarity between their ages. Despite the fact that Yami is just 28, meaning Ryuuya and his wife may have fathered him when they were relatively young, the parallels in their ages still appear too close to sensibly pursue this avenue.
Ryuuya’s familiarity with Yami and his resemblance to the Captain might point to their shared ancestry as cousins, which would also explain why Ryuuya didn’t announce himself as the Captain’s kin. If Yami is any indication, the Sukehiro family has its own unique traditions and customs, which runs counter to the more common Japanese value of family above individual. After Chapter 337 of Black Clover, however, all of this remains nothing more than supposition, albeit a fair one. Many readers expect to learn Ryuuya’s actual identity in the next few issues, but that won’t happen in the next chapter.
A preview of what to anticipate in Chapter 337
Yuno’s training and inquiry during the time jump will likely be depicted in the flashback in Black Clover chapter 337. Yuno’s strength has increased dramatically, but the nature of his new abilities remains unknown. Like Asta, he has a totally bandaged left arm, prompting admirers to wonder if he too sold an arm for extra abilities from Sylph. Even the identities of Lucius’ alleged Paladins have been the subject of conjecture. Damnatio Kira is definitely one of them, but the others are left vague. Since Nacht appeared in the previous instalment, readers assume that one of them must be Morgen.
Black Clover 337 will show how Lucius intends to recruit additional Paladins for the forthcoming holy war. The place where Asta finally arrives should be the most interesting part of this chapter. All indications are that this is Hino territory, although confirmation has not yet been made. Some have speculated that the mysterious guy is actually Asta’s father, sent to educate his son more about Ki.
Speculations for chapter 337
The Black Bulls, in typical fashion, refuse to accept that Asta has passed away. It’s unclear, though, whether they’ll try to retrieve the youngster or instead focus on the Holy War, hoping that Asta will return on his own. Also, Nacht’s progress in becoming a fully integrated member of his team is highlighted in chapter 337 of Black Clover. Asta, as was widely predicted, has arrived at Yami’s native “Hi no Kuni” (anglicized as Hino Country). Though it’s evident that Ryuuya is cognizant of Asta’s significance to the Clover Kingdom and the forthcoming Holy War, it’s less clear how far Lucius’ plans extend to Hino Country.
The fact that Ryuuya seemed to be waiting for Asta’s arrival adds fuel to the fire of speculation concerning his hand in Clover Kingdom matters. Unknown is Ryuuya’s connection to Yami, but it’s easy to see the resemblance between the two. Ryuuya never explicitly denies being connected to the Black Bulls captain, therefore it’s likely that they are related. Raw scans of Black Clover chapter 337 show that he only mentions knowing Yami from childhood until the other man was 13 years old, the age at which Yami first appears in Clover. A somewhat recent change, as mentioned in chapter 337 of Black Clover, is that Liebe is being handled independently of Asta. Based on what they said to each other, it’s evident that the protagonist will be undergoing further training soon, maybe at Ryuuya’s hands but possibly with someone else. Asta will likely improve his Ki and study new sword forms while in Hino Country.
Black Clover 337 delivers the long-awaited disclosure of the identity of the strange guy who discovered Asta. The raw scans released today show Asta arriving in Hino Country and being greeted by a potential new tutor. The Black Bulls have also returned to their home turf. The reaction they have shown to the news of Asta’s presumed death is typical. Spoilers for Black Clover chapter 337 don’t say if the Black Bulls or the Clover Kingdom Magic Knights try to save them or not.

Upon returning to their camp, the Black Bulls are reportedly informed by Nacht that Asta was terminally wounded and banished using Spatial Magic. Even though Nacht says they should accept that Asta is dead, the Black Bulls won’t accept it until they see his body for themselves. Meanwhile, far from Clover, at a hospital, Asta is greeted by the guy who rescued him. The guy in the kimono with the eyepatch looks like Yami. In addition to knowing Asta by name, he is also well apprised of the recent events in the Clover Kingdom. He can apparently see through his patched eye.
Asta would be doomed to fail if he returned to Clover at this time, he says. Unknown to everybody in the room, a female samurai walks by. A guy tells Asta that Liebe is receiving medical care elsewhere. Asta observes that the man has a “Ki” with Yami. The two were childhood friends, but the man hasn’t seen the Black Bulls Captain since Yami was a teenager. Just like Yami, he has a penchant for grammatical errors. The guy instructs Asta to “right here, right now” enhance his strength by training here. He then explains that the name of this nation is “Hi no Kuni,” which literally translates to “the Land of the Sun” (“Hi” means “sun” and “Kuni” means “country”). Ryuuya Ryuudou is the country’s general, or Shogun (Japanese spelling).
