2. Recap of Chapter 377 & 378 of Black Clover
In Chapter 377 of Black Clover, “Clash”, Asta and Yuno finally face off against Lucius Zogratis. The battle is shifting in the Magic Knights’ favor, with most of the Paladins already defeated. Before confronting Lucius, Yuno realizes Bell’s Neverland spell is running low on mana. Thankfully, Asta hands him a mana-restoring snack made by Charmy, allowing them both to recover.
Once they reach Lucius, he greets them coldly, insisting that their interference will prevent him from creating a peaceful world. Asta rejects his view, especially after reverting Sister Lily from her Paladin state, and witnessing her immediate regret.
Lucius, however, blames Asta, claiming he’s the flaw in the world. Yuno counters, asserting that Lucius isn’t a god, but just a human who can’t accept reality. Unable to sway them, Lucius launches a massive attack, but Asta and Yuno swiftly neutralize it, determined to defeat him and destroy the world he’s trying to create.
In Chapter 378 of Black Clover, “Friction”, the battle escalates as Asta and Yuno go all out against Lucius, who’s using the Dark Triad’s powers. He’s quick to counter their attacks with Bone Magic, Blood Magic, and Gravity Magic, pushing them back momentarily. However, Asta and Yuno adapt, with Yuno summoning the Spirit of Boreas and Asta deflecting Lucius’s attacks before closing in on him.
Lucius begins to question why their powers—Asta’s Anti-Magic and Yuno’s Mana-based magic—work so well together. He realizes that they constantly surpass each other’s expectations, overcoming even his own prophecy.
The battle reaches a turning point when Asta throws his Demon-Slayer Sword at Lucius, following up with a close-range Zetten slash. Yuno then attacks with Boreas, seemingly knocking Lucius down. As Bell celebrates their victory, Asta and Yuno share a moment of triumph, but the sound of a heartbeat hints that Lucius may not be done yet.
3. Speculation of Chapter 379 of Black Clover
In Chapter 379, it’s likely that Lucius will reveal yet another unexpected power or strategy, as the fight between Asta, Yuno, and Lucius is clearly far from over. Despite the progress Asta and Yuno have made, Lucius’s ability to foresee the future and his overwhelming power make it hard to believe this will be the final blow. It seems that Lucius still has a few tricks left, and we may see him unleash something that forces Asta and Yuno to push their limits even further.
Given that Black Clover is in its “Ultimate Wizard King” arc, the fight against Lucius may only be the first step toward a larger conclusion. After this battle, Asta and Yuno will likely have to face their rivalry head-on, with the fate of the Wizard King still in question. While we may see some resolution in the fight against Lucius, the series has plenty of loose ends to tie up before reaching its grand finale, making it clear that this battle will have lasting consequences beyond just defeating Lucius.
