Black Clover is advancing toward the final battle against Lucius Zogratis, and the latest chapter brought suspense that could mark the return of the Dark Triad. With its major update in the winter of 2025, in Jump GIGA , the series revealed two new chapters that bring the final arc closer to its conclusion.
Now, with Asta and Yuno reunited on the battlefield, they both face Lucius with their newfound abilities. However, the confrontation promises to be more complex than it appears.
Chapters 377 and 378 showed that the battles against the Holy Knights and Lucius' clones are drawing to a close. As Asta and Yuno dedicate themselves to the final battle, it seems they have managed to defeat Lucius, but the outcome is far from definitive. Furthermore, the clues point to the possible return of Lucius' brothers, members of the dreaded Dark Triad.
Is the Dark Triad returning?
In chapter 377, we see Asta and Yuno advancing towards the core of Lucius's gigantic spell in the Clover Kingdom. Inside the immense spirit tree, Lucius appears seated on a throne, before the defeated bodies of his brothers, the Zogratis. Amidst the scene, four heartbeats are heard, suggesting that Lucius may be preparing to revive the Dark Triad.
With their enhanced skills, Asta and Yuno begin to even the odds against Lucius' overwhelming power. Asta, who trained the Zetten in the Land of the Sun, manages to land a decisive blow, while Yuno attacks with the powerful Saint Spirit of Boreas. Despite appearing to defeat Lucius, the heartbeats heard at the end of chapter 378 indicate that the confrontation is not yet over.
What will be the role of the Dark Triad in the end?
In the Spade Kingdom invasion arc, the Zogratis twins used their demonic powers to the fullest, but were defeated by Asta and the Magic Knights. Now, Lucius may be planning to revive them, perhaps with Paladin abilities, or by using their energies to fuel his own powers.
With this suspense, Black Clover keeps fans on edge as it heads towards its grand finale. Keep following AnimeNews for the next updates on the final chapter of this epic saga!
