Black Clover has been in the midst of the final battle against Lucius Zogratis and his Paladins for the past year, and things have taken a real turn with these latest updates. Not only did Asta take a huge wound from Lucius earlier this Spring, Yuno has been left alone to hold him off for as long as he can. But thanks to some big help in the latest chapters of the series, Asta has healed up and is ready to jump back into the fight against Lucius to bring the manga to an end once and for all.

Black Clover Is Ready for Its True Final Battle

Black Clover returned for Chapters 381 through 383 as part of a massive update this Summer, and the manga has continued to showcase how each of the Clover Kingdom’s fighters are struggling against Lucius’ Paladins. Yuno has been holding back Lucius himself with the use of Asta’s anti-magic help, but even he’s starting to run out of power as the fight continues. Asta has been completely taken out of the fight thanks to that attack from Lucius, however, and Mimosa Vermillion has been trying all this time to heal him back to full health.

She’s tried to heal him and failed in the past, and that’s something that she had been worried about ever since. But thanks to how much she has been healing others already, she has been drained of most of her power. But the others all decide to forgo their own healing in order to help Asta heal even faster. Thanks to Charmy also showing up to help heal her mana, Mimosa was able to activate a new ultimate spell and bring Asta back up to his full health. Which means Asta is ready for a fight once more.

How Is Black Clover’s Final Battle Going to End?

The end of Black Clover Chapter 383 sees Asta fully healed up and coming straight at Lucius. Now it’s just a matter of him getting back to the battlefield in time to help Yuno and bring the fight to an end overall. But the shape of that fight is still very much in question as Asta likely won’t be winning the fight on his own. Many of the series’ biggest fights thus far have seen Asta team up with a major ally to take down its villain, and it’s likely going to be the case here.

The trouble with that, however, is the fact that Asta and Yuno weren’t enough all on their own to take down Lucius before. They were able to defeat his clone, but the real version of himself is much stronger than that clone ever was as demonstrated by the massive wound Asta struggled to recover from. That means they are likely going to need even more allies to help take down Lucius, so the final battle is going to be bigger than ever expected.
