In Black Clover, what can we hope to see in the next instalment?
Chapter 348 of Black Clover will begin with a flashback to when Asta was being trained by Mushogatake Yosuga and Tenmanyashiki Fujio of the Ryuzen Seven. The two will then appear in the current day on the battlefield. Fans may expect to see Fujio use his biwa-based Reinforcement Magic to cure the Ryuzen Seven members and get them back into battle form. The already-present party will return to switch their attention to the dragon. Fujio and Yosuga battle Yrul and Heath Grice while Asta faces Sister Lily.
Also in chapter 348 of Black Clover, Ichika will apologise to Asta for the way she spoke about Yami Sukehiro. Asta’s prediction that there was more to the tale than initially appeared led Ichika to consider grovelling before him. But knowing Asta, he’ll probably shrug it off as insignificant and focus instead on rescuing Sister Lily.
Recap of Chapter 347
While the Ryuzen Sevens were attacking the five-headed monster in Chapter 347, Sister Lily and her Paladins were unaffected. Yrul utilised his Beast Magic: Bogeyman spell to conjure illusions based on his foes’ fears and terrors, but Sister Lily and Heath swiftly replied with a mix of Ice and Spatial Magic. The most consequential effect of this spell was the revival of long-dormant childhood memories in Yami Ichika when she had a vision of her father appearing before her. Even more disturbing, one such recollection seemed to indicate that an unhinged Ichika was responsible for the deaths of the Yami family. Nonetheless, Ichika finds this revelation terrifying because it forces her to face the fact that she has been blaming her brother for a crime that she herself committed. With no fight left in her, she was about to be attacked by her father’s illusion when Asta swooped in at the last minute to save the day. Black Clover chapter 348 will likely pick up here.
Next chapter 348 of Black Clover will be available on January 22 at 12 a.m. JST. Fans have been eager to see what’s next for Ichika and the rest of Ryuzen after last week’s issue revealed a huge discovery about her based on her regained memories. There are currently no reliable spoilers available for Black Clover 348. In a stroke of good luck, the widely anticipated sequel finally has a release date that has been formally announced by the studio.
