With only ten days remaining for the release of Black Clover Chapter 332, the fandom was shocked to receive confirmation of a time-skip via the preview section of Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #34. The preview not only confirms the time-skip, but also the return of the manga in Issue #35, accompanied by a center color page.Naturally, after three months of no discernible Black Clover content, fans have gone into overdrive analyzing whatever scant scraps of information this preview has given away. On the one hand, a concerning number of height jokes are being made at poor Asta’s expense. On the other, we have many readers wondering about Lucius Zogratis' upcoming plans and expressing their concern. Overall, the fandom is bursting with anticipation as they consider the possibility of improved designs for our favorite trio.Confirmed Black Clover time-skip has Twitter in a vortex of predictions about Asta and Lucius ZogratisShonenleaks@shonenleaksBlack Clover Manga Final Arc/Saga: "Those who become the Strongest Wizard King" #BCSpoilers1994329Black Clover Manga Final Arc/Saga: "Those who become the Strongest Wizard King" #BCSpoilers https://t.co/8gVw9tOiz4The leaks primarily confirm three things:1) The tentative name or theme of the final arc, Those who become the Strongest Wizard King.Shonenleaks@shonenleaksBlack Clover Ch-332 Preview: A little over a year after the fierce battle.

Speculations also run rampant regarding the development of Asta’s powers, and whether Yuno and he have received any promotions following their heroics during the Spade Kingdom Raid. Many question whether or not new members will be added to the Magic Knights Squads.Carlos Adolfo@CarlosA75617325#BCspoilers Soo if a Year Passed Asta ,Noelle ,Yuno are 18. 🥹If ASTA is as Tall as Yami I'm going to have a breakdown.Also if a year passed shouldn't there have been a new entrance exam?

Considering that Black Clover Chapter 331 ended with Lucius Zogratis in possession of Lucifero’s heart, fans are worried about what he might have planned for it.SenHaku Faust/Silva 💙♣️@SeaKnight11I wonder if lucius fleed with Adra or stay as Julius. But a 1yr time skip will be a perfect for Lucius to draft his plan.#BCspoilers312I wonder if lucius fleed with Adra or stay as Julius.

Many dread the plans he has cooked up, but there is no doubt that the community feels a sense of appreciation towards one of the greatest villains in the series’ history.Visnake@blackxclover28Black Clover is returning next week with a colour page and A Time skipHow will the time skip will be show in the manga ???

Asta has always been short, which has become a running gag both in the universe and in the fandom. Many fans are reasoning that a one-year time-skip should bestow Asta with some height, while others are adamant that Asta will remain short forever.Cer@Cer_clover#BCSpoilers If Asta is taller the world will explode 69365#BCSpoilers If Asta is taller the world will explode 😭🔥Pikku@PikkuProgramAsta evolving like a pokemon through these timeskips and you know Tabata's still gonna keep him a 5'2 to keep the midget joke ongoing.728Asta evolving like a pokemon through these timeskips and you know Tabata's still gonna keep him a 5'2 to keep the midget joke ongoing. https://t.co/B41pYHa1Z7Omake (Final thoughts)JIGSAWW@BLACKCL99908043Yooo we are getting a Yuno Time Skip . Can't wait .#Blackclover409Yooo we are getting a Yuno Time Skip . Can't wait 🔥🔥 🔥 .#Blackclover https://t.co/RIXnLN6FpnOn a serious note, the final arc has been pre-planned by Tabata for a long time, and the three-month-long hiatus surely aided in its brilliant execution. The confirmation of the time-skip only adds another layer to the depth of this saga, and will hopefully bring Black Clover to a fitting end.
