Asta and Lucius Zogratis' fight may finally happen in "Black Clover" Chapter 334. But instead of being a one-on-one battle, Noelle, Yuno or both may join the battle.
The previous chapter ended with a major cliffhanger. With that said, fans are now looking forward to seeing "Black Clover" Chapter 334, only that Weekly Shonen Jump is on a break, resulting in the series' delay.
SportsKeeda noted the next chapter might give readers more clues about how the duality of souls works. There are theories Julius' true magic is Soul Magic.
In the flashback of Astaroth's capture, Lucius was seen in a wheelchair and this part of the story needs clarification. By the looks of it, binding the devil of Astaroth's powers may have cost a toll on the dual-souled mage.
The next chapter also needs to solve the issue of Yuno's whereabouts. The possibility of seeing Asta and Lucius fight in an ultimate battle decrease.
So, Yuno may not join this fight in "Black Clover" Chapter 334 to make it more intense. Instead, he may get a mini-arc all for himself later.
Noelle, alternatively, is at the scene. So, as the manga creator Yuki Tabata swears of her great amount of latent magic, she may come to Asta's rescue and give everyone a glimpse of her character development in the battle against Lucius.
Meanwhile, "Black Clover" Chapter 333 saw Yami approaching Charlotte Roselei, Jack the Ripper and Rill to thank them for supporting Asta, per Anime News and Facts. Charlotte started to stutter, so she ran off.
Yami had been puzzled by her behavior since the Spade Kingdom Raid. Finral Roulacase then told him Charlotte confessed her love for him when he almost died.
This made Yami speechless, so he went to the toilet to think and analyze her emotional reactions. On the other hand, Asta looked at Sister Lily and decided to confess his love for her again.
Secre Swallowtail noticed Noelle and Mimosa were flustered by their feelings for Asta, so she told them about Asta's plan to confess to Sister Lily. The two were more flustered, making Secre entertained.
Asta invited Sister Lily out to the balcony while Noelle, Secre and Mimosa watched over the window. Knowing he was now 18 and of legal age, he tried to propose again.
Sister Lily gently turned him down, considering he was family to her. Asta accepted the rejection but repeated his vow to become the Magic Emperor, to which Sister Lily showed her support.
Lucius then suddenly appeared and declared Asta had reached his final destination. What happens from here can be seen when "Black Clover" Chapter 334 drops on Sunday, August 21.
