Black Clover issue #5 spoilers have been seeping out since earlier in the week, revealing the issue’s purported plot points. If the rumours are accurate, the events of Chapter 350 will be extremely thrilling, and more importantly, they will set the stage for Asta’s next fight after his decisive victory over Sister Lily. When the next chapter of Black Clover is released, fans will finally find out how to transform the Paladins back into their original forms, which is one of the most anticipated events of the series. Asta’s Anti-Magic Perfect Zetten has been widely speculated to play a pivotal part in securing their release, although this has reportedly not been the only contributing element. Spoilers for Chapter 350 of Black Clover suggest that the Paladins will be set free once Asta uses her Anti-Magic and defeats Lucius.
Basically a spoiler-free summary of what happened
Black Clover chapter 350 spoilers show Lily apologising to Asta as she collapses to the ground after being released from Lucius’ grip. Sister Lily then reflects on why she joined a nun in the first place, and she says that she did so to promote tolerance and fair treatment of all citizens of the Clover Kingdom. She fled to the Hage orphanage after learning the church was just as corrupt as the world outside. Now back in the present, Sister Lily explains that she joined the orphanage in an effort to “rescue someone.”
After saving Asta from certain death at Lucius’ hands, Ryudo Ryuya reappears to tell her of Asta’s increased strength. He continues, saying that rescue efforts should now be directed at Asta. After this, Sister Lily informs that the final battle in the Clover Kingdom and Lucius’ “Day of Judgment” is only three days away. Furthermore, fans find out that Lucius has combined his Soul Magic with the Body, Bone, and Blood Magic of his siblings the Zogratis. He can now make humans out of thin air, giving him godlike abilities. Spoilers for Chapter 350 of Black Clover reveal Lucius’s ultimate objective: dominating the magical realms around the globe, including Hino Country.
Sister Lily tells Asta she is sorry and ashamed of herself for what she has done. Asta comforts her, promising that she will not bear responsibility for what happened. She praises him and passes out; Ryuya assures her she is not dead but says Lucius must be vanquished for her to regain consciousness. At the end of the issue, Asta exclaims, “I will undoubtedly overcome Lucius,” before turning his attention to the five-headed dragon and declaring that he will kill it himself.
What must be done to release the Paladins
Black Clover chapter 350 spoilers suggest that defeating Lucius is crucial to the Paladins’ freedom. The issue doesn’t say if this is sufficient or if Asta’s Anti-Magic is also required. Fans also have no idea what is actually required to release the Paladins, as Sister Lily is the only one now with this kind of freedom. If Asta’s Anti-Magic is required, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it does affect how the final fight is fought based on how many Paladins Lucius has generated. For instance, if Asta must fight through a legion of Paladins to reach Lucius, she will likely need to put them all into the same state that Sister Lily appears to be in right now.
But if there aren’t enough of them, Asta can just charge at Lucius and kill him. Since Lucius will already have been vanquished, it should be no problem even if his Anti-Magic is still required to completely liberate the Paladins. Asta will be able to restore their former forms, even if it takes some time to vanquish them. In three days’ time (in the series’ reality), the ultimate battle of Black Clover will occur, therefore it will be fascinating to see how many Paladins Lucius has available to him. Although this will undoubtedly affect the Clover Kingdom army’s war plan, it may also affect how Asta goes about liberating the Paladins.
