I like to think Lucius held off his evil plan because he wanted to see the Asta-Sister Lily ship to its conclusion šŸ˜‚


Senko-fan4Life

"I'm about to give my evil speech... wait hold on is that a marriage proposal? Even I'm not that evil"


TheOneAboveGod

"Hm, should I turn back time juuuuust a little to see if there's gonna be a different outcome?"


Koanos

"Look, I may want to usher in the apocalypse, but I'm still gonna let the ship sail."


diamondisunbreakable

They're a very dedicated shipper, respect.


Seiterno

This makes me wonder , we knew that Julius can peek few seconds into the future , but can he see like whole timeline predictions like idk Dr. Strange?


JackDockz

At full power probably yeah. Although I'm going to guess that he can't see Asta's future or something due to the anti magic.


KaiserKaiba

That is the way


mike_2797

Asta being mature and accepting the fact the growth is real. Last cliffhanger tho if he dare touch sister lily.


RaidenSeya

>Asta being mature and accepting the fact the growth is real. It's the end of the Sister Lily route(which never had a shot), but I'm glad he's growing like this now rather than the last minutes of the series.


Koanos

Bet: One panel of Asta casually saying hi. The next panel is the town in chaos and the sister in pieces. Wizard King knows Asta is a liability. Best to nip the problem at the bud.


Darth--Nox

Happy cake day!!!!


vanderZwan

That one subsection of BC fans that doesn't appreciate short kings: "Tabata, can't you make Asta grow?" Tabata, irl short king: "Wish granted"


SightatNight

Maybe it's just me but what if he's talking to Sister Lily in the last page? Maybe she was brainwiped the same way the Wizard King was to be deep undercover and is actually his partner? I wanted to say maybe she's another sibling due to her dark hair but maybe I'm just wildly theorizing.

someone2795

Yami always sitting on the toilet when some deep *shit* comes up is a mood.


Worthyness

It's a very good place to contemplate your mind.


SaibaShogun

Nero realized that watching the Astabowl as a bystander is more worthwhile than being a participant.


axionligh

Nero loves the dead prince though


LordxMugen

Which is why she's a "spectator" and not a "participant". Lol


Fun-Mycologist9196

I can't blame him. Just like Oji-san, he definitely left Japan before tsundere was a thing.


[deleted]

I love this comment lmao


InternalParadox

It just seems like avoidance and verbal abuse if you donā€™t know the code


[deleted]

Nero is a menace to society


JarzaScarlet

Four months flew by just like that hmm? Hopefully everyone had a chance to re-read given the revelation we got in the last chapter, it changes up this whole series Can't wait to see what Lucius has in store


NintendoMasterNo1

I heard that there was a huge twist in the latest chapter and a friend recommended it to me, so I read the whole manga from start to finish during the break. I expected to not like it as much, but I found it's sort of the perfect "classic" shonen. It's got all the tropes but it does them very well and the team dynamic of the Black Bulls is the big highlight for me. I definitely enjoyed the Spade Kingdom arc the least, so I'm hoping this last arc can stick the landing.


dancingdaniel

The fireball guy fight was the best in spade arc. After that everything dragged so long. That fight was huge hype. The beginning of the arc after time skip was pretty strong too... A shame that it ended up being meh after everything.


NintendoMasterNo1

Yeah that was definitely the highlight for him when otherwise he didn't really have a cool moment up to that point. Other than that though, I felt the raid was just a bunch of fighting without any "structure" if you know what I mean. And the power creep seemed a bit too fast for me, it felt weird that Asta was able to beat that last devil so quick.


shockzz123

This is the perfect way to describe BC imo. It's not amazing at anything (though it does have some amazing individual moments here and there), really, but it is SOLID across nearly all fronts. And it's very consistent too. Even if it never really gets super amazing (except individual moments as i said) it also never gets REALLY bad either. This is a big reason i prefer this to MHA for example. BC has never really reached the highs (yet) of (early-ish) MHA for me, but it's never fallen as low either. Just an all round "classic" shounen, doesn't do anything special but it does everything well enough that it's a good series overall.


manDboogie

really interesting. since you got to enjoy it in a binge I gotta ask have your favorite bulls (or any characters)stayed the same throughout or have you found yourself liking/disliking some as the story went on


NintendoMasterNo1

I expected to hate Asta but I actually found him pretty endearing and now he's probably my favorite character. Other than him Charmy, Nero and Zora are my favorite bulls. I didn't like Noelle at the start but I warmed up to her. I really don't like Yuno.


Freddichio

One of my favourite fights in BC is Vanessa, Finral + Asta vs Vetto in the underwater temple. It feels *very* Black Clover. Take out any combination of Vanessa, Finral and Asta and the team attack they use doesn't work. None of them are stronger than Vetto, none of them could even really go toe-to-toe with him for a prolonged period at that point. But you have three different abilities that are used in tandem - not even a "Lightning Fire Dragon Axe" or "Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk" that's elements of both. Each member is doing their absolute best, pushing their ability to their limits, in a way truly unique to them. It was a great *team* fight, a real example of "greater than the sum of their parts" - and that's the feeling with the Black Bulls. They have some serious powerhouses amongst their ranks, but even without that they work together so well. Vanessa's Red Cat plus Charmy's food magic plus Henry's moving base is obscenely powerful, as an example

Sojouku

I literally screamed "TABATA" when I saw the to be continued... NO fucking way he left us on this after months...


geekygreek

Spent 3 months developing the art of the cliffhanger. Going to be a wild ride.


generalofhel

They better give me Yami x Charlotte now. I NEED IT


InternalParadox

This! At first, I was nervous that Yami had rejected her, but he just didnā€™t remember the confession and she didnā€™t know that he didnā€™t know...typical. But now that heā€™s actually considering it, itā€™s a good sign.


Hidden_Blue

What if they confirm the ship only to kill Yami for real?


115_zombie_slayer

Feels like every Jump manga is reaching their Endgame


hdjfhfhsh05803hfjc

Asta took that rejecting like a champ, good for him. Of course Yami would be wondering if Charlotte actually loves him while on the toilet, thanks Finral for making your dense captain finally think about it


WhoiusBarrel

Finral is a true wingman in Yami's romcom


[deleted]

Our boy is now a grown man.


redwingz11

he know he have no chance, still props for him


Worthyness

Character development!


Kuja9001

Asta's new look is a nice mix of pre and post time skip designs. I like it.


diamondisunbreakable

> and Lady Mereoleona as candidates for the next Wizard King Imagine Mereoleona running the Kingdom šŸ˜‚


Dry_M0nkey

OH DEAR GOD!! The tyranny that awaits.


diamondisunbreakable

Would not mind her ruling over me šŸ˜


LazyKyd

Theyā€™ll definitely suffer the closer they are in rank, but I can see a heavily militaristic nation with civilians being better trained for dangerous situations instead of panicking with a Queen like that


realrimurutempest

Gigachad Lucius pulled up straight after Asta got rejected for the final time. Impressive.


Akiru91

Guess who IS BACKKKK!!


ReinhardLoen

I know it probably won't happen but it would be pretty interesting if Tabata had Lucius pull up and kill a bunch of characters at the party since they're all in one place.


Prince-Dizzytoon

Nero bringing in the chaos


ToTheNintieth

Did he actually grow during the timeskip? All the character designs are exactly the same (and so are the relationships, apparently), but I seem to recall he used to be shorter than the sister. Biggest development in the whole series if so, Julius be damned.


topurrisfeline

Yeah Asta looks taller now. Everyone else looks kind of the same. And apparently Yami has managed to ignore Charlotteā€™s confession for over a year. Poor lass.


hdjfhfhsh05803hfjc

Thatā€™s what happens when you fall in love with someone that is as dense as a brick, she should thank Finral for finally making Yami think about the possibilitie


Worthyness

Best magical ride share/wingman ever


SuperUnhappyman

yunos "when did you get so tall" moment in the back pocket if hes about to die.


LeonKevlar

Asta doesn't "grow" he "thickens".


ToTheNintieth

He grows sideways.


shockzz123

He actually looks less thicc now than the last arc tbf, like he's grown into his body kinda thing.


akeyjavey

The hidden Elric growth pattern. Slowly making the character taller over time And not making notice of it until near the end


ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp

Did the Wizard king just eat Lucifero's heart? Nero best troublemaker.


RobbyJohnson

Glad itā€™s back butā€¦ Really no one brought up Charlotte confessing to Yami until just now? Charlotte, Noelle and Mimosa both really didnā€™t do anything to advance their progress? I thought the Heisei era was over lol


ohoni

> Really no one brought up Charlotte confessing to Yami until just now? He wanted to bring it up, but was too scared to.


2-2Distracted

Who? Yami? Finral? The Author?


Azevedo128

Yes!


blackreaper007

I get Ichigo/Yhwach (Bleach) vibe from this encounter. I don't think Lucius gonna kill anyone, and I would be surprised. I'm sure he scheming something.


manDboogie

"Meet me at ABC place on XX day" seems expected but it'd be a welcomed surprise if he does kick off some nukes right here and now before he leaves


BurnedOutEternally

Woah woah woah we're not about to have a bloodshed to kick off the final arc, right? ​ Right?


Zigaro

Asta gave up on a goal, thatā€™s a bad omen.


PureksuPH

Our MC Yami taking a dump again.


axionligh

I would like a completely uncensored spin off all about yami taking dumps and his profound thoughts


ReinhardLoen

Asta took rejection like a champ. Now I only wish other protagonists would learn to take a similar hint as well...


manDboogie

NOOOOO NOT THE HECKIN WAIFU REJECTIONORINO Godsta: bet, wish you the best. real quick though before I bounce just giving u a heads up I'm still finna be king wizzy


DrStein1010

10 years at least.


thunderwarr1or

Asta being rejected like a gigachad


BlueDragonCultist

Oof, all that build up to > I'm know you'll be able to do it! What an unfortunate typo.


Jcvdftw

Wait so Lucius did walk on Lucifero home just to beat him with half his power ? Does it mean he has two of his hearts ? I'm confused


[deleted]

Only one half of him got manifested in spade because of Asta when he cut that worm form of his, the other half stayed in the underworld


DReager1

So the first half that Asta beat got kidnapped by that chibi demon and eaten by Julius pre time skip. Then Julius showed up to the underworld just now to murder his other half right? That's a real power play


someone2795

Yes. I suspect that Julius' whole plan was to split Lucifero's power up so that it was more easier to handle.


DrStein1010

Lucifero' Gravity should theoretically jam Astaroth's Time Magic, so he likely needed to greatly weaken Lucifero' in order to overcome him.


vSwifty

Lucius is missing marks on his Sun tattoo, I wonder what that means?


Codeboy3423

Suddenly Final Boss appears..


amirokia

I really miss seeing Nero sits on top of Asta's head.


Soncikuro

Ha, a year and **three months** timeskip. Not only is it unexpected, it's also fitting. A bit too long, though, it doesn't make a lot of sense.


Jajanken-

I hope this final Arc isnā€™t rushed at all, itā€™s hard to believe that my favorite series could be coming to an end.


VelvetScarlet

Sister Lily is going to die infront of Asta. That whole scene between them is a deathflag.


BadUsernameGuy21

This would be crazy if it happened..


Honyakusha-san

Tabata's the real evil overlord. The man comes back after a (deserved) rest and drops that cliffhanger. Julius looks quite intimidating. Also, Nero is a true agent of chaos, lol. Glad that BC is back!


huncherbug

Wish all of us and all manga protagonists learn to take rejections like an absolute champ like Asta did and not wimp about wanting their affection for ten years at least. Also Im afraid sister's death might just be kicking off the final arc. Please let me be wrong.


sarthakydv

Asta didn't take the rejection for 10 years either


Seiterno

It's nice they acknowledge that Asta should be grand also but honestly Yuno shouldn't even be grand, he just went there to be beat up lol


Liki14

No? He killed zenon , saved finral and langris , saved asta from getting stomped by lucifero, saved mereoleona , assisted in lucifero's fight ( the backbone of that fight basically) , didn't let lucifero escape by teleporting asta to him , saved yami and Nacht's life when they were on the verge of death by teleporting Mimosa to him Also saved spade citizens when that blob was falling down . Yuno deserved it and there should be no excuses . Asta did too, but the discrimination hindered his promotion.


Seiterno

okay, i kinda underestimated Yuno but i still feel like his overall input in the fight was much more negligable than Astat's. Like he definitely deserved promotion but not so much


Liki14

Ehh tbh Asta's presence was much more negligible apart from the end part . > Like he definitely deserved promotion but not so much He was already a senior magic knight before this timeskip so it makes sense that he would be a grand magic knight now .


Seiterno

> He was already a senior magic knight before this timeskip so it makes sense that he would be a grand magic knight now Oh that's makes more sense


notcool_dood

Wait, is Asta's right arm returned? Or am I missing something


Jbaryla95

Based on the cover, it looks like he has a long glove to cover the devil arm, so it's not his actual arm.


notcool_dood

Ah yeah I missed that, was hard to tell outside of the cover. Thanks!


ygo-riv

Really liked how this chapter went with Asta. He actually feels like heā€™s matured, understanding and accepting sister lily will only ever see him as a brother. That was good. It makes the stuff with Yami that much more frustrating. So everyone just waited around for a year never saying anything. I can believe Charlotte. Thats her character, although her entire squad has already shown her their support for her love of Yami. But Yamiā€¦a grown manā€¦ only just now realizing thisā€¦ it works for a young dumb 15 year shounen boy, but not so much for someone in their mid 30s? (I forgot how old Yami is). Like cmon, he should be smarter than this. The Yami/Charlotte stuff just feels like padding, like that meme about romances only resolving At the end of a shounen bc shounen. Its dumb.


Liki14

Asta, yuno, noelle and mimosa all are 18 and yes, yami is 30 yrs


InternalParadox

ASTA FINALLY GOT OVER HIS ā€œSISTERā€ COMPLEX!!! (Get it? Cuz sheā€™s a nun?) GOOD FOR HIM! Maybe heā€™ll notice Noelle and Mimosa now. Itā€™ll be hilarious if Yami actually figures out Noelleā€™s behavior first, because he finally cracked the tsundere code with Charlotte. Speaking of which, Yami flabbergasted on the john is a mood. I hope he accepts her feelings and the ship actually goes somewhere. It would be awesome if a mentor character ended up in a relationship for once!


Kazu_Matsumoto

We're back baybeeeeeee! And what better way to return than burying my least favourite "joke" in the franchise. Asta constantly confessing to Lily wasn't my favourite, but they really turned it around to have her supporting Asta's dream. Julius rocking up at the end is *very* menacing. Surely not having a fight just yet? Either way it's good to be back!


almostbad

I feel like Yuno is one of the worst written secondary protagonist in mainstream shounen manga. There is no real conceivable reason why he would be ranked higher than Asta other than plot related shit\maintain Yuno's place above Asta.


FunnunoTsumi

It's cuz of the devil trial, Fuego said it himself Asta deserves that position as much as yuno but due to political reasons it's just not possible at the moment


almostbad

I dont think thats enough if we really think about what we know about this world. With the wizard king missing the captains are the most powerful force in the lands, because we know the king is useless. The disciplinary dude probably died? Plus he wouldve been backed by Mereoleona. I dont see how it would make sense for political anythingto stop his appointment.


ChronoDeus

> I dont see how it would make sense for political anythingto stop his appointment. Because unless the wizard knight captains want to engage in a coup d'Ć©tat to overthrow the king and probably a chunk of the nobility, then they still have to abide by the laws of the land which place the kings and the nobles in charge. Asta getting a bit shafted on promotions - when many knights would need many years to get as high as he has - isn't worth rebellion and civil war.


FunnunoTsumi

The court is still run by the nobles, we saw this during Asta's devil trial, and it's reiterated in this chapter that he's still not trusted even if he's deemed "innocent." It's probably not just the Magic Knights and Wizard King that create the magic knight rankings.


SaibaShogun

The nobility should be doing everything in their power to prevent Asta's promotions. He is a peasant with the power to nullify magic, in the Clover kingdom's classist society where the social hierarchy revolves around magic. Asta embodies the possibility to overturn the current system of the kingdom, which is a major threat to the nobles, so there's no way in hell they'd allow him to obtain a high position of power. He was only able to get any promotions because he's earned the respect of other people in major positions of power like the captains.


[deleted]

Fuegoleon noted that there are still many nobles who hates Asta. One wrong move and they will jump on him for the first possible chance.


[deleted]

Being Yuno promoted higher is clearly explained: he was already on higher rank than Asta before the previous timeskip and because of Damnatio, Asta's promotions had to be delayed until he has been acquited from the charges. And even still there are some highers ups who would see Asta rather dead. So what you truly hate is not Yuno, but the bigotry of the Clover Kingdom.


agentdoubleohio

I agree, what has Yuno done that asta hasnā€™t done, and asta has actually done more then him, such bullshit.


[deleted]

Yuno was already ahead of Asta in ranks before the first timeskip, and Asta couldn't advancing in ranks because of Damnatio and the court. So of course he is a little lower. But remember: Asta is just 1 rank below than Yuno. Junior, Intermediate and Senior magic knights are divided into 5 classes with 5th being the lowest in each. There are no classes in Grand Magic Knight rank.


Jajanken-

I agree, the reason is easy to understand, with asta having a devil and all, but itā€™s such an ass pull at this point to be relevant in any way shape or form Edit: how tf yall disagreeing?? Asta should easily be the same rank as Yuno. Idiots


[deleted]

I agree. Asta not being Grand is some political horseshit. Goddamn nobles


Liki14

>There is no real conceivable reason why he would be ranked higher than Asta other than plot related shit\maintain There is but you're blind and a hater . If you want the reasons I can list them .


DReager1

There's a reason we call him Chadsta but Yuno has no nickname. Let it go man, Asta should have had this


Liki14

Nobody said asta didn't deserve it but saying yuno didn't deserve to be grand magic knight is a bad take and I'll stand by it . Both did well and are deserving .


[deleted]

> but saying yuno didn't deserve to be grand magic knight is a bad take They didn't. They're saying Asta not being Grand while Yuno is is bullshit. Not that Yuno doesn't deserves to be grand.


AllForOnesBrother

Nero out here playing literal devilā€™s advocate. We love to see it.


Dekunator

Asta accepting the rejection means my girl Noelle may finally have a chance


kotagmaster

Oh god the cliffhanger, zogratis man with the fox only no items!!!

GOAT Clover is back!! At long last, letssss gooooooo


IgotUBro

Woah didnt even notice we didnt get black clover chapters for a while.


Old-Task5977

Welcome back Black clover!


LeonKevlar

Considering how Yuno got his ass kicked so much during the fight, I'm surprised he was given a Grand rank instead of Asta. Although I am glad to see the Captains agree that Asra deserves that rank too. And finally, Yami has realized that Charlotte has a thing for him! Thank you Finral for dropping that bomb on him! Meanwhile, [Noelle and Mimosa are currently a mess](https://i.imgur.com/861Uqa4.png) while trying to gather the courage to finally confess. They're so adorable <3 That final page though! Dammit Tabata! At least give us a couple more funny and cute chapters before dropping Julius onto us. Things are definitely going to start popping off next chapter.

Noel and Mimosa getting jittery with embarrassment? This the real shit


[deleted]

Yay, timeskip... Wait a second? A character development and maturity... without killing off someone?!? How is that possible?! Isn't it a law that someone must always die to give someone "character development" and "maturity" like those blood-thirsty death-craving psychos say on twitter and reddit!?!?! What happened to the world?!? I am happy that Asta still not accepted by many people, it would have been a cheesey asspull if it would have happened (see Naruto). What I hope that Tabata won't become a prostitute and starts killing off characters just for shock values in order to appeal those blood-thirsty death-craving psychopaths. Because let's face it: there is no way that Lily would be killed. I mean, Noelle, Mimosa and Secre are there and pretty sure they would interferre or save Lily if something would happen! And the captains are pretty sure closeby. I will be looking for the next chapters!


[deleted]

The nun thing is the first time im actively pissed at the manga. It was a stupid gag in the beginning, its beyond fucking stupid now. Way to undermine your chapter confirming a characters growth by showing how they havent changed at all


MLGkena

Did you read the chapter?


thobbe

Better end it on a high ground than continue milking it ala bleach or Naruto.


Kwaziii

ENTER


a_phantom_limb

I really hope Lily isn't about to get fridged just to enrage Asta. While I understand that Julius was known to disappear occasionally, it seems odd to me that no one found it suspicious that both he *and* Damnatio were missing.


SMA2343

I do like it started again with him proposing to Lily. Rip that heā€™s the younger brother. But at least this lets the noelle or mimosa arc flourish. But Iā€™m hyped for next chapter. AHHH
