Summary of Chapter 345
Asta and two of the three surviving Ryuzen were seen in training in chapter 345. Yosuga Mushogatake, the so-called “strongest” of the seven, kept beating Asta despite Fujio Tenmanyashiki using his Yojutsu to revive him and restore his strength. It was Yosuga that had Asta face his fears after losing against Lucius. The protagonist of the series realised that he no longer believed in his sword and instead thought that Yuno, the wind mage, would have done a better job if he had been in charge. Ichika pushed the unheralded Ryuzen to prove her might against Sister Lily and the Paladins on the rooftop where the other five Ryuzen were engaged in battle. At first, Lady Ginnojomorifuyu Kezokaku, the eighth Ryuzen, was timid and afraid; yet, once she drew her sword, she seemed to undergo a transformation. During their fight preparations, she severed Lily’s horn, which miraculously grew back within seconds.
Chapter 346 of Black Clover is scheduled for publication on Monday, December 26 at 12 am JST, after a brief hiatus that will presumably be caused by Jump Festa 2023. Fans are eager for every tidbit of information they can obtain in the next chapter after the seventh Ryuzen member and Sister Lily continued their struggle in the previous issue. While there is currently no confirmed spoiler material for Black Clover chapter 346, it can be assumed that Asta and the Land of the Sun will play a significant role in the forthcoming episode when the Paladins and the Ryuzen Seven square off.
When/where/how you can get your hands on it?
The Japanese release of Black Clover Chapter 346 is scheduled for December 26 at 12 am JST. Since most countries across the world release their movies throughout the day, December 25 should be a good day for fans to check it out. In addition, the issue will be available to readers in several parts of the world at various times on Monday, December 26.
Black Clover Chapter 346 is now available in official English translation via Viz Media, Shueisha’s MANGAPlus, and Shonen Jump+.
Both of the former options are entirely free to use, and they provide access to the first issue and the most recent three issues of a certain series. The latter reading option is subscription-based and costs money, but it gives users access to the complete series.

To what extent can we anticipate…?
Following the events of the last issue of Black Clover, Asta will most likely join the fight against Sister Lily and the Paladins in chapter 346. In Chapter 345, there was a pivotal panel that hinted at Asta having overcome his doubts, as seen by the steely gleam in his eyes. This might be interpreted as evidence that he is prepared to return to active duty.
But fans shouldn’t expect to see him battle, much less show off his Perfect Zetten, in Black Clover 346.
If he does show out on the battlefield in the next issue, it will probably wrap up the chapter and build up the tension for the next week’s release. In addition, the members of the Ryuzen Seven who are present in this chapter of Black Clover may decide who their initial opponents will be. With the impending arrival of two more Ryuzen Seven members and Asta, however, these pairings will likely change in subsequent issues, with five Ryuzen Seven members constantly engaging the five-headed dragon.
