The publication of raw scans and spoilers for Black Clover chapter 348 this week has had everyone excited for the start of a new arc. The official release of Black Clover issue 348 will likely confirm some really thrilling events from the previous chapters. Asta’s usage of a Perfect Zetten is a pivotal moment since it proves he has mastered the talent he was taught in Hino Country. Still, there’s more than one thing about Black Clover 348 that has readers buzzing. Asta and his pals may be able to exploit the vulnerability of Lucius Zogratis’ in the forthcoming issue.
Asta’s Anti-Magic in Black Clover 348 seems to protect him from more than just basic spells. In the very first panels of Black Clover 348, we learn that Sister Lily is just as surprised as the rest of us to find Asta in Hino Country. The fact that Sister Lily didn’t know where she was sending him with her Spatial Magic is interesting for a number of reasons. This might mean that she is still learning the ropes of the magic or that she is unable to give exact coordinates for where the doors lead. Not even Lucius Zogratis could have predicted a world when Asta lives in Hino Country. The former also warns Sister Lily that he sees a bad future for Hino Country before sending her there. That is to say, he saw hope for Hino Country in the future, but he didn’t feel Asta’s presence.
There are a number of reasons why it is unlikely that he just forgot to inform Sister Lily that Asta was in Hino Country. The first one originates from the seriousness of the danger posed by Asta and his Anti-Magic. If their mission in Hino Country is to restore the five-headed dragon, then Lucius shouldn’t be keeping that knowledge from Lily’s party.
While Sister Lily is still in the process of being Paladinized by Lucius, there is no need for him to keep anything from her. She proves her undying devotion to Lucius and his schemes the instant he transforms her. With her unwavering devotion to him practically stated, it would be illogical for him to keep anything from her, much less exclude Asta from his life.
Finally, before Chapter 348 of Black Clover, Lucius learns through Julius Novachrono how much Sister Lily meant to Asta.
If he were to put Sister Lily in a position where she was fighting against the protagonist, the protagonist would naturally make saving her and turning her around his main priority. It would be counterproductive for Lucius to send Sister Lily to a battlefield where she would be forced to encounter Asta unless he intended for this to happen. Also, he has no apparent reason to want this, as he stands to lose nothing but Sister Lily as an ally, therefore there’s no explanation for why he would want this. This suggests that Lucius Zogratis has no ability to predict events regarding Asta. Another possibility is that he can see these futures, albeit without the latter’s involvement. Both outcomes demonstrate that Asta is able to avoid Lucius’s future-gazing gaze.
Asta’s Anti-Magic, which runs continually through his body as mana does for normal magic users, is probably to blame. If Lucius’s ability to see the future is the result of a Time Magic spell, then Asta’s Anti-Magic will certainly counteract its effects on him. Regardless, it’s becoming clear that Asta is impervious to Lucius’ foresight, as seen by the events in Black Clover chapter 348.
Recent Spoilers For Chapter 348
Shocking outcomes of Asta’s Zetten training were revealed to readers in the spoilers for Black Clover Chapter 348. Asta has previously been observed working on her Zetten skills with Yosuga and Fujio of the Ryuzen Seven. Fans were curious to see how Asta’s anti-magic talents would fare when combined with Zetten’s. Fans were left wondering if Asta will be able to reverse the Paladin form after seeing a peek of it in Black Clover chapter 348 spoilers. In the prior chapter, Paladin Yrul used his power to make the members of the Ryuzen Seven experience illusions of their deepest nightmares. As Ichika struggled to dispel the false belief that her father was still alive, thoughts of the Yami clan tragedy overwhelmed her. Asta then made her way into the field of battle to engage the Paladins in combat.
Is Asta’s Demon-Slasher Katana powerful enough to reverse the Paladin form? finds out in Black Clover 348. Spoilers for Chapter 348 of Black Clover have revealed that Asta will be engaging in combat with Paladin Yrul. While the Paladin may be concerned by Asta’s Devil Union, the focus of this chapter is not on his appearance but on his apparent mastery of Zetten. Although Asta was in his Devil Union form, he maintained his composure and watched as Paladin Yrul prepared his one-shot strike, Beast Magic: Holy Hunting. Asta was able to use his Demon-Slasher Katana to launch a timely counterattack as Paladin Yrul launched his attack. Though Asta easily dispatched his opponent with a single blow, viewers were taken aback by the fact that Yrul had lost his Paladin status upon being hit, as he was not wearing his halo or wings at the time.
Does Asta’s Demon-Slasher Katana have the power to reverse her Paladin transformation? For example, in the Elf-Reincarnation Arc, Asta was able to use his Demon-Destroyer Sword to undo the effects of a curse on a person. Casualty Break is a unique skill only available on the Demon-Destroyer Sword. But how exactly did Demon-Slasher Katana destroy the Paladin shape? Although it has not been established for certain, it is likely that the Demon-Slasher Katana cannot destroy a Paladin. Fans may incorrectly assume, at least for the time being, that Asta has the power to make the Paladins normal again. On the other hand, Sister Lily was seen looking like herself in chapter 344 of Black Clover.
To put it another way, this meant that the Paladins may revert to their original shape without losing Lucius’ influence. This suggests that Yrul’s loss of the Paladin halo and wings was not necessarily due to Asta’s strike, but rather to the fact that he was defeated. Given that the Demon-Slasher Katana, while in Unite, only hurts the intended target, inflicting no harm to anything the user wishes to defend, it is still possible that Asta is capable of restoring the Paladins to normal, especially when paired with Zetten. Asta may be able to restore the Paladins to health by directing Lucius’ spell away from them and towards their adversaries. However, this may be verified only if the manga reveals the same.
