Black Clover has been running its manga steadily for the last 8 years and counting. It tells the story of an orphan boy born seemingly devoid of magic to a world of mages, yet wishing to be Wizard King. The series has been running for over 350 chapters and has seen its characters grow up, become immensely powerful, and make their mark as Magic Knights. But now there’s an epic clash between our heroes and Lucius Zogratis in Black Clover, and it’s looking like chapter 356 could be an explosive one upon release.

Black Clover Chapter 356 Spoilers: Field Promotions and Showdowns
Jack the Ripper is defeated, and Lucius proceeds further with his onslaught. William Vangeance is quickly dispatched as well, with Lucius demonstrating the immense difference in powers. It’s at this point that Lucius unleashes his deadliest attack yet, a massive barrage of lasers fires down on the Magic Knights from above, only to be shielded by an equally massive barrier of Star Magic. Yuno Grinberryall emerges, wielding this powerful magic, in a bid to defeat Lucius.
It’s here that Lucius recognizes Yuno as his opponent, and William recognizes this too, promptly making him the captain of the Golden Dawn, the most powerful squad of the Magic Knights. Beyond this, it looks to be an epic clash and one for which readers have been already digging up spoilers.
Yuno’s usual cool, collected demeanor will serve him well if this panel is any indication, channeling some major Goku vibes while completely ignoring Lucius’ chronostasis magic. Lucius has recognized Yuno as a genuine opponent, and even a rival and the fans are going berserk.
Fans have had nothing but positive things to say about Black Clover creator Yūki Tabata and his handling of this story, deemed the Final Arc as the chapters continue to release with 356 onward. It’s been a crazy ride with relatively low filler, and the development of characters like Yuno and Asta has been lauded. We can’t wait to see what comes next, so be sure to check in on Sunday, April 2, 2023!
