"Black Clover" Chapter 343 spoilers dropped earlier this week and hinted at the return of a supposedly dead character. Many assumed that the blonde, scarred-faced Paladin who appeared alongside Sister Lily was the Magic Knights Entrance arc's major antagonist, Heath.
Asta already fought off Heath when he investigated the events in a nearby village as his first mission. By the looks of it, the villain has returned to face Asta and the Black Bulls and to ally with Lucius, and everything may be cleared in "Black Clover" Chapter 343.
Warning: The following content contains major spoilers. Read at your own risk.
The new chapter's spoilers mostly focus on the fight between Asta and Ichika after having conflicting opinions about Yami. As their battle continues, Ryudo Ryuya stops them, saying "they" have arrived.
Hino Country's coastline is then revealed, and Sister Lily and two other Paladins are shown, with one of them looking like Heath. Due to the scar on the blonde Paladin's face, many believe it's Heath, and he's back in the series.
So, why is he back, and who's the other Paladin with him in "Black Clover" Chapter 343? Though it's still unconfirmed if it's Heath, some are convinced that he's chosen to return due to his unique Ice Magic.
He, too, has faced Asta and the Black Bulls before, making him the perfect ally for Lucius as the villain prepares to fight Asta. So, what can fans expect from his arrival?
There are theories that he may again go against Asta, while Ichika may face Sister Lily, and Ryuda will fight off the other Paladin. This may incite Asta to use his new Zetten technique and possibly decide to return to Clover Kingdom.
Meanwhile, "Black Clover" Chapter 342 revealed Yami's clan was an assassin known as Kijin's descendant. Asta refused to believe Ichika's revelations that her brother killed off their family, stressing he couldn't do anything like that.
According to mythology, a five-headed dragon attacked the Land of the Sun, and only a celestial maiden saved the country by making a deal with it. The previous chapter also revealed that Yami and Ichika's father was an alcoholic, hurting Ichika, so Yami had to protect his sister.
Later, Yami was seen holding a bloody sword as dead bodies were scattered everywhere. Ryudo Ryuya saved Ichika, so the latter stressed that Yami was a liar and ran away after what he did.
As Asta also insisted that Ichika was lying, a fight between the two was about to begin. Their battle, along with the arrival of the mysterious Paladins, will be seen when "Black Clover" Chapter 343 drops on Sunday, November 6.
