Summary of Black Clover Chapter 339
Right after the previous chapter ends, Black Clover Chapter 339 begins with Yami’s sister Ichiga grabbing Asta by the face, much like Yami always does. They are carbon copies of one another in every way. This may seem apparent, but Asta has verified that Yami has never disclosed that he has a younger sister.
Remember how nonchalantly Asta stated that he knew Henry was present all along, and now consider the fact that Yami has made no reference whatsoever of a Vice-captain or any other members of the Black Bull. The fact that Yami never mentioned his family makes this verification all the more crucial. Why is it happening, exactly? He probably has no idea that he has a sibling. It’s also possible that his family may exile him. When we consider the fact that he has never once acknowledged his family, several mysteries emerge. As far as we can tell, he and the people he lived with were both fishermen.
However, if he had issues with his biological family, he may have meant to refer to the people he lived with as “folks” instead. This might explain why he was forced to forego a more traditional upbringing and instead became a fisherman in a family that did not belong to the Yami people. The people of the Land of the Rising Sun are now very curious about Asta, and it’s not only because he has a second arm; rather, it’s because he looks different from them. The people of the Land of the Rising Sun are mystified by his hair colour since they have never seen somebody with such a unique appearance before. Generally speaking, people know Asta is not a native of the nation.
This is further evidence that occurrences like this are extremely rare, if not impossible. To the best of our knowledge, Asta may be the first foreigner to set foot in the nation in decades, if not centuries. There must be a good explanation for this nation’s seclusion. The citizens of this country are clearly anxious, as seen by their uneasy whispering behind Asta’s back and their defensive body language. Characters in Anime and Manga often show signs of nervousness and fear on their faces, such as perspiration. This strongly suggests that the people of the Land of the Rising Sun had had negative experiences at the hands of strangers. It’s possible that they’ve had bad experiences with outsiders in the past, or that they’ve been cut off from the rest of the world for so long that they now fear anything that’s different from them.
We see that Ryu, too, has picked up on this feeling among the general populace; it will be interesting to watch how this theme develops in subsequent chapters. The scene suddenly shifts to another reality in which Liebe has been whole the whole time. Asta most likely awoke in the same location at the start of this arc. The fact that Liebe and Asta split up and then reconciled may seem peculiar; why did they do it, and what prompted the reconciliation? Unless Tabata didn’t want to introduce too many significant people from the Land of the Rising Sun all at once, the whole touring thing might have been done with Liebe and Asta together there. This new persona will be known as Mikuriya Fumito. Of course, the name Mikuriya, along with every other name in the Land of the Rising Sun, is Japanese.
The rumour that Tamata drew himself as the new character and named him Mikuriya is also fading floating around the Subreddits and Twitter. It is possible that Mikuriya is an exact physical twin of Tamata. In this chapter, we learn that Fumito took so much longer with Libre since it was his first time medicating a creature of Libre’s kind. He may be referring to a Devil or an animal without magical abilities when he uses this term. Asta may safeguard herself from any form of magic by donning an anti-magic suit of armour. In theory, there would be an Antimagic skin, which was clearly implied in this chapter. At lunch, the Heart Village’s unique tradition of serving neither potatoes nor bread is once again emphasised as a point of pride.
When Tabata brings up these unusual potatoes not once, but twice, it’s evident that something is up in the Land of the Rising Sun. These potatoes are native to Hage but have recently been seen in the Land of the Rising Sun, which is so far from the continent of the Four Kingdom that not even Asta, who can use his anti-magic to fly at incredible speeds, can race there without assistance. Either the Land of the Rising Sun doesn’t exist or everything is an illusion. The afterlife, then, is either a place where Asta trains to come back even more powerful than before, or she has died and gone there. In the same way, his thoughts are only represented by these potatoes in his hand. Asta has begged to be sent back to the Clover Kingdom once more, and this time he seems worried that he won’t be able to develop any strength in time.
He was startled when Ichika smacked him and told him to be quiet and follow her. She brings him out back to a bunch of bamboo sticks because she has to demonstrate something to him. Ichika plans to demonstrate a new skill to Asta. The befuddled Asta then explains to her that he is powerless. I mean, what exactly could he learn from them? The key is mental focus and an awareness of your internal Ki energy. Not only can you see the Ki, but you can also feel its presence and intensity. Asta’s usage of Ki is quite rudimentary. Everything will alter after this lesson with Ichika. To manipulate Mana and produce Magic, it was then revealed that Ki is the flow of vital energy that everyone uses instinctively.
