Black Clover manga is currently in the Spade Kingdom arc, and it looks like Tabata’s cards for a big showdown are set, and all his pawns are where he wants them to be.
In the previous chapter, Black Clover 261, we were finally introduced to the Black Bulls magic knight squad’s vice-captain – Nacht, the Shadow-magic spy.
Yuki Tabata surely knows how to rile fans up! While the previous chapters, with Yami x Asta vs. Dante, were on par with anything you can ever see, they ended with Yami getting captured. However, Tabata didn’t let the hype die and immediately introduced Nacht.
Now that Nacht has offered Asta a crash course on ‘How to use devil powers 101,’ what do you think will happen in chapter 262?
I have some speculations and expected plots, including the raw scans and spoilers for the next one (chapter 262) that you guys would definitely want to know!
1. Chapter 262 Raw Scans
Raw scans for Chapter 262 of the Black Clover manga have not been leaked partially and the rough translation goes like this:
The chapters start with Nacht and Asta, the latter deals with the fact that Nacht is the vice-captain of the Bulls squad. The creature on Nacht’s back is revealed to be Nacht’s devil, Guimero.
The scene then shifts to the captain’s meeting as everyone gets aware of Yami and William’s abduction and oh boy! For the first time since I started Black Clover, I saw Julius Novachrono tensed! Fuegoleon is angry, while Yuno is straight-up depressed.
The chapter ends as Nacht enters the meeting and asks everyone to stay quiet and hold the meeting properly.
2. Chapter 262 Speculations/ Predictions
The ending of chapter 261 left us in disbelief as Nacht revieled himself to be the vice-captain and offered to teach Asta.
Now, there are a few events that would most definitely happen in chapter 262. Let’s begin the discussion then starting from the event with the maximum possibility.
I. Nacht & Asta
In the next chapter, the event that’s most likely to occur is Nacht teaching Asta how to deal with the anti-magic devil. Now, if you are thinking what I am thinking, what we care more about this whole situation is THE IMP-ish DEVIL-ish CREATURE ON NACHT’s SHOULDERS!!!
It’s hard to speculate the creature’s true nature with just a silhouette, but we can definitely see forearms, legs, wings, and a tail. In addition to this, Nacht also has Weg on his forehead like the rest of the Forbidden magic users.
The most likely outcome is that Nacht has summoned the creature from the underworld since he has a Weg similar to Secre and not the devil hosts.
II. The Tree of Qlipoth
In chapter 246 of the Black Clover manga, Dante tells Yami that he has been filled with anger and malice since he was a child. And has but one wish to bring all the devils from the Underworld to the human world.
“To connect this world to the other, you need to create a path of magic, known as the Tree of Qliphoth.”
And to create the tree, you need the two arcane magic that can affect the otherworldly magic — Dark & World Tree magic, both acquired by Yami & William, respectively.
Yami Sukehiro uses Dark Magic, as the name suggests Dark magic uses the darkness, and posses all the properties of darkness — lack of speed, devouring of magic, etc.
William Vangeance, the captain of the Golden Dawn, uses World Tree magic.
His magic is currently shrouded in mystery. However, if you look at William’s feats, he can cover a whole town and subjugate two Shining Generals through his magic.
III. Noelle & Heart Kingdom
The entirety of Black Clover fandom definitely wants to see what will happen in the Heart Kingdom. Will the most prosperous and secluded kingdom be destroyed, and that too by the hands of a devil host?
Well, that does seem pretty unlikely in a Tabata-universe. This means there might be a way for Noelle, Luck, Mimosa, Gaja, and the other mages in the Heart Kingdom to stop Vanica’s magic, ‘The Exploding Life,’ from blowing up.
Even though it’s pretty obvious, how they are going to pull it off will definitely be worth reading.
IV. Battle against the Spade
Now that the Spade has both Yami and William, they can move forward with their plan to fill the human world with devils – which means the moment of truth has come for the Clover & Heart Kingdoms.
The six months have passed, and everyone has trained as hard as they could – some Bulls saw the devil power first hand but emerged victorious nonetheless.
We are yet to see the powerhouses’ true power – Nozel Silva, Fuegoleon, and Mereoleona Vermillion. The time has come for the two kingdoms to combine their Stage 0, Stage 1, and arcane stage mages to collaborate and launch the Spade kingdom attack.
With enough luck and the gods of heaven on our side, we just might see Julius Novachrono into action soon!!!
If you have some other theories, feel free to comment down below. I’d love to discuss more potential plot points with fellow Black Clover fandom!

6. Chapter 261 Recap
It begins with Asta being healed by the Grand Healer of the Clover Kingdom, and it seems like his right arm has succumbed to the devil for good.
In addition to healing Asta, he also looks at Gauche. He notices that he’s not only recovering, but his tissues are rebuilding themselves, and he claims that Grey’s true magic might be something far superior than transformation.
Asta wakes up sometime later, and wait for it…., HE STILL HAS YAMI’s KATANA, which now resides in his grimoire. He then dashes to save Captain Yami but is stopped by mysterious magic.
The mage is revealed to be the same Shadow magic-user introduced a few chapters back who can restrain Asta with ease.
The mysterious mage reveals his identity to be Nacht, the vice-captain of the Black Bulls. He offers to teach Asta about the devil powers.
