Spoilers and raw images for Black Clover chapter 343 were revealed on November 1. The much-anticipated matchup between Asta and Ichika finally took place. The fight is brief, but it delivers in a big way, providing fans with almost everything they wanted before the spoilers were revealed. However, things took a surprising turn at the end of Black Clover chapter 343 when none other than Sister Lily showed up at the boundaries of the Hino Country.
Two unheralded Paladins are accompanying her on her adventure. As one might expect, fans have begun to theorise and offer forth explanations as to who the two new Paladins may be. In this post, we will briefly summarise the spoilers for Black Clover chapter 343 and discuss the most common fan theories and responses to the spoiled content. Fans try to solve the mystery of who the new Paladins are in Black Clover Chapter 343. The confrontation between Asta and Ichika, the issue’s major emphasis, is described in full at the beginning of Black Clover chapter 343.
After all, their opposing views on Captain Yami make this conflict extremely personal and meaningful to them. Asta, in an effort to ward off Yoryoku’s influence, initiates the Devil Union mode to begin the fight. Asta’s Anti-Magic should have the same effect on the Yoryoku of the Hino Country as it does on the magic of the Clover Kingdom, as the two are essentially the same thing. In retaliation, Ichika casts the Black Star Dark Yojutsu.
She goes on to say that Dark Yojutsu is best suited for taijutsu and kenjutsu, which is probably true for the majority of Yami clan practitioners. Infuriating to Ichika and the rest of the Ryuzen Seven, Asta appears to be keeping pace with them. In her criticism of Asta’s ambition, she claims that he lacks the drive and talent necessary to become the Wizard King and an equal to the Shogun. Asta claims he can sense Ichika’s resentment of him and Yami through her Ki, along with something more.
The shape of his Zetten clicks into place, and he thinks he can win if he uses it precisely. However, Ryuya intervenes just in time to prevent the last showdown between the two. Asta shuts off his Zetten and concedes defeat, realising he needs more practice with the weapon before he can wield it effectively. But time is something he doesn’t appear to have, as Ryu says that “they” have come. In the next chapter 343 of Black Clover, we see Sister Lily, still in Paladin form, hovering off the shore of the Hino Country with two other, unnamed Paladins.
Fans are confident they’ve recognised Rades and Heath, the two new Paladins, despite only seeing them in a single background panel. Most agree that the guy on the far right with the scarred face is Heath, with Revchi and Rades the two most likely candidates for the other Paladin. Followers of the series have also observed that the raw scans of Black Clover chapter 343 show the two Paladins without the horns that Sister Lily has. They are thus thinking that these creatures may exist in multiple tiers or sorts, with Lucius conducting several trials to determine the optimal outcome. If this is the case, the Paladin army may be more complex and difficult to forecast than was previously believed.
