Spoilers for Black Clover 343 have been leaked, and they reveal the comeback of a character who was originally supposed to be dead. Fans are certain that the scarred-faced blonde Paladin seen at the issue’s conclusion is Heath, despite there being no official confirmation of this. Prior to Black Clover Chapter 343, Heath was a significant enemy in the Magic Knights Entrance storyline, and he is likely to be remembered by fans for this role. Specifically, he was someone Asta confronted on their initial assignment to look into the occurrences in a nearby town.
It appears that Heath has returned to cause problems for Asta and the Black Bulls once more, this time in the guise of a very capable Paladin. Read on as I detail Heath’s return, why it’s probably him, and what fans may anticipate from him after Black Clover chapter 343. Many readers are concerned about Asta and the gang after the surprising reappearance of early-series adversary Heath in Chapter 343 of Black Clover.
The fight between Asta and Ichika was the main focus of the claimed spoilers and raw images for Black Clover chapter 343 that were posted earlier in the week. Asta maintains Captain’s innocence, while Ichika insists he is guilty of senselessly massacring their tribe, and therefore the two are fighting over this issue. Even if their struggle goes on for a while, Ryudo Ryuya stops it by telling them “they” have come. Beginning with chapter 343, readers are transported to the shore of Hino Country, where they are greeted by Sister Lily and two other Paladins, one of whom resembles Heath.
Many viewers are convinced that the scarred blonde Paladin is an older version of Heath from the show. Though unverified, the vast majority of fans agree that it must be him, and speculation has already begun concerning his return and the identity of his possible new business partner. The fact that Heath possesses the one-of-a-kind ability of Ice Magic may have been a factor in his selection. The only mage in the series who is fully skilled at using this magic for fighting purposes is Heath, while numerous others are capable of employing it.
He’s fought Asta and the Black Bulls before, so he’s the ideal ally for Lucius as he prepares to face the Clover Kingdom. As for his future plans, after he and Sister Lily unexpectedly showed up in Hino Country, a showdown between Asta and Heath seems like the most likely outcome. Similar to their first encounter, Ichika will face Sister Lily, while Ryuda or another member of the Ryuzen Seven will battle the mysterious Paladin.
As Sister Lily and her allies are literally at the doorstep of the Hino Country, this fight may very well start in the very next issue. What’s more, while Lucius swiftly dispatched Asta, how he fares against a standard Paladin using a moderate amount of magic is yet to be shown. Asta could finally find out here if he’s ready to go back to the Clover Kingdom. Furthermore, readers may anticipate that Asta will showcase his Zetten in this presumed impending bout against Heath, as chapter 343 of Black Clover hints that he has figured out his optimal Zetten method.
