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.

In the most recent chapter of Black Clover, we have a flashback to the early years of Yami and Ichika’s relationship. Beginning in Chapter 342, we see things from Ichika’s point of view. Ichika referred to Captain Yami as a “devil deity” in the present tense. Her brother is the one she holds accountable, in her mind, for the murder of their father and the rest of the family. Asta, however, has more faith in Captain Yami than she does in Ichika. It is possible that the fight between Asta and Ichika will be shown in Black Clover Chapter 343.
In the last chapter of Black Clover, we met some of the new recruits of Ryuzen Seven who are now training Asta. They all get along great with Asta, barring Ichika. If Ichika takes this conflict seriously in Black Clover Chapter 343, he may strive very hard to learn new magic from his Grimoire, which might put Asta’s life in peril. Ichika had previously cautioned Asta not to hold her responsible for his death. Both are trying to make a point about Captain Yami. Ichika claims that when Captain Yami was only 13 years old, he murdered her father and the rest of his family.
A number of things were evident in the events in Chapter 343 of Black Clover. This chapter might be a continuation of the debates that arose before the combat. A third option is that Ryudo Ryuya intervenes to end the conflict. When the spoilers and unfinished scans finally arrive, we will update you. In the next two or three days before the release of Black Clover Chapter 342, a raw scan will be made available. However, we recommend that all Black Clover readers wait until the manga is made available on official sites before diving in.
