Black Clover chapter 347 spoilers have been released, and it appears that Mangaka Yuki Tabata wants to put a stop to the rumours surrounding the Yami clan tragedy. While the manga is on hiatus this week, spoilers were released early, much to the joy of readers. After being alerted of the Paladins’ onslaught the day before by the Shogun Ryudo Ryuya, the Ryuzen faced up against the five-headed Sacred Dragon in the previous chapter. To further ensure that no lives were lost, he ordered the Ryuzen Seven to evacuate the locals. Concerning the Dragon, the five members of the Ryuzen Seven worked together and were successful in vanquishing it.
As detailed in Chapter 347 of Black Clover, Ichika is the one who murdered the Yami family.
From what we can gather from chapter 347 spoilers, the Paladin Yrul casts an illusion spell on the Ryuzen Seven, forcing them to confront their worst fears. Because of this enchantment, Ichika was able to see her father, the patriarch of the Yami family, in front of her. Ichika acknowledged that she was afraid of her abusive father, but she was convinced that the spell wouldn’t have any effect on her since she understood it was all an elaborate hoax. But the magic brought back childhood memories for Ichika. She understood why her father would be frustrated by the peace. Her dad considered sending one of the kids to the country to have a psychotic break as a way to deal with the situation.
He did this by producing a traditional Yami medication that had been kept hidden for many years. The medication was meant to unleash the demon potential within the clan members, allowing them to go mad with their newfound superpowers. Ichika’s dad had first tried to give the drug to her brother Sukehiro, but when he refused to take it, he turned to force-feed it to Ichika instead. After that, she recalled seeing people fleeing from the Yami clan massacre. As Ichika recalled her final moments, her father praised her, saying, “as expected of my child, Ichika.” Seeing as how these were Ichika’s recollections, it would appear that Ichika, while under the influence of the clan’s secret medicine that her father forced her to take, was responsible for the Yami clan murder.
Ichika was likely still a kid at the time of the slaughter, therefore her brother Sukehiro probably took the fall for her to save her from being forced to leave the nation. To add insult to injury, Ichika would have been devastated to find that she was responsible for the deaths of her clan members when she was only a child. Yami Sukehiro may have been working with his friend Ryudo Ryuya to safeguard his sister because he believed Ryudo could keep her safe. Even though he asked Ryuya to look after his sister, he was leaving the Land of the Sun to avoid guilt for the Yami clan tragedy. Since then, Ichika and the rest of the Land of the Sun have believed that Yami Sukehiro, a runaway clan member, was responsible for the Yami clan massacre when, in reality, it was the clan head, Ichika’s and Sukehiro’s father, who force-fed her daughter a medicine that drove her berserk and caused her to massacre the entire clan.
