What to expect from the upcoming chapter of Black Clover?
Before returning to the present moment, Black Clover chapter 348 will start with a flashback showing Asta getting the approval of the two Ryuzen Seven members, Mushogatake Yosuga and Tenmanyashiki Fujio, training him. The duo will then be seen showing up on the battlefield in the present.
Fans will likely see Fujio using his biwa-based Reinforcement Magic to heal the Ryuzen Seven members and get them back into fighting shape. The group, who were already there, will return to shift their focus to the dragon. Meanwhile, Asta takes on Sister Lily, with Fujio and Yosuga fighting Yrul and Heath Grice in some combination.
Black Clover chapter 348 will also see Ichika take the time to apologize to Asta for her words regarding Yami Sukehiro. Considering Asta also seemed to predict that there was more to that story than met the eye, Ichika may even prostrate herself in front of him. However, in true Asta fashion, he’ll likely brush it off as no big problem before turning his attention to saving Sister Lily.
What happened last time in Black Clover?
Chapter 347 saw Sister Lily and her Paladins be virtually unfazed by the Ryuzen Sevens’ attacks on the five-headed dragon. Sister Lily and Heath quickly retaliated with a combination of Ice and Spatial Magic spell, while Yrul used his Beast Magic: Bogeyman spell to create illusions based on his enemies’ fears and terrors.
The most significant development to stem from this spell was Yami Ichika seeing her father appear before her, which awakened some memories lost within her from childhood. Moreover, one such memory suggested that Ichika was the one who murdered the Yami clan while not in control of herself.
Nevertheless, this reveal is harrowing to Ichika, forcing her to realize that she has blamed her brother for a crime that she committed. As her will to fight seemingly dissipated completely, the issue saw Asta arrive in the nick of time, saving her from an attack by her father’s illusion. This is presumably where Black Clover chapter 348 will pick up.
